Ch. 1: The Truth is Out There

Disclaimer: Zim ain't mine. (Aren't these much better short?)

Red and Purple lounged around their space station, tired of bossing people around for once. They were waiting for their lunch to come and trying to think of….something to do.

"Soooo….Zim is really dumb isn't he?" Purple said, resorting to the only thing he could think of at the moment; making fun of Zim.

"Yeah…Zim…" Red scoffed.

"Just look at him…He's just so dumb…Remember that one time when he called…and he was just really dumb?" Purple said with a giggle.

"Yeah, I mean, he actually thinks that he's on a mission…to conquer EARTH! I mean, that is the most useless planet I've ever heard of!" Red said, also beginning to laugh.

"He doesn't even know we hate him!" Purple continued, laughing out loud now, "And look at his robot! I don't even know how it functions!"

"Yeah…Hey doesn't Zim usually call and annoy us right about now…"

They heard a strange strangled sob sound coming from behind them. The two irken dictators spun around and saw Zim on the Video Phone, who was near tears.

"Oh ZIM! HI! How are you doing? So, uhh, how much did you hear?" Purple said, plastering on a fake smile.

"Ohh…you know…" Zim said in a scratchy voice, "that whole part about me being dumb…and my who mission…my life being a lie…that stuff…"

"Oh I see…" Purple said, looking uncertain, "Listen Zim…all that stuff we said…You didn't think it was actually true did you?"

Purple may have been trying to making amends, but Red had somehow lost his temper, and blew up on the small invader. "You know what Zim? It was true! All of it! You never were an invader and you never WILL be an invader! You are the most useless irken I have ever seen! You don't have a secrete mission to Earth, you were banned there! So stay there and never return!"

As Red spoke, Zim's sadness visibly became anger, and he let out a low growl then he shouted, "Do you think that I, the GREAT ZIM, would just give up that easily? HA! Think again! I WILL have my revenge! You have not heard the last of ZIM!" Static suddenly interfered and the connection went dead.

"Great job! You just had to open you're big mouth, didn't you?" Purple said.

"Well, what's Zim going to do anyways? Overthrow us?"

"No but he could call us every day and annoy us with pitiful threats! That's why we never told him the truth! Well…that and because it was fun to watch him make an idiot of himself," Purple giggled at the thought of Zim being stupid then he continued, "And now we don't even have that!"

"I don't care, at least we can ignore him now, instead of listen to him go on and on about…whatever…"

An irken servant entered the Tallest's Headquarters, "Sirs! I have you're lunch for you," he said.

"Alright! Lunch!" The Almighty Tallest shouted, all thoughts of Zim instantly left them.

AN: Don't worry, stuff will happen next chapter. This is kind of a Prologue, or maybe a cross between a prologue and a chapter…a proloter…I donno. I'm sorry for the repetitiveness in the way that the Tallest talked, but I always imagined that they'd talk like really stupid teenaged boys with nothing to do, when nobody else is around to hear them.

And I don't have a Beta Reader, sorry, no one willing to take the job. So that obviously means my writing sucks 10X more. But it also means that mistakes or suggestions of any type are greatly welcomed, and there is a good chance that if I will change anything that I messed up.
