I started writing this with no plot what so ever, just an idea and a song to go along with it. So if any ZADR stuff happens... I blame you ZADR fans who sucked me into your world when I started reading ZADR fics to build up immunity. My friend said she'd get revenge on me for making her read one, so I decided to read them just in case... CURSE. YOU. ALL.

Anyways... I don't own Invader Zim (*sniff sniff*) sadly... On with the fic!


"Zim! Come one or we'll be late!" Dib knocked on the men's room door that served as a front door. It opened to reveal a disguised, eager alien. With a grin, he called into the house for Gir to guard the base while he was gone. He shut the door and began walking down the sidewalk with Dib.


Once they got deep enough into the woods on the outskirts of town, they began looking for an old, grown over tennis court. A group of teens and themselves were meeting there. Once they found the old court- which was really just a giant patch of concrete with weeds and grass growing in the cracks- they walked up to the group of teens.

"When are we gonna start?" Dib asked.

"When it's a little darker, so a few more minutes." A redhead girl responded. She was sitting Indian style on the ground, and wearing a British flag t-shirt, short shorts, and scuffed, old, and frayed Ugs. Dib nodded and sat down next to her, then motioned Zim to sit down next to him. The two quickly took part in the conversation.

"Red, why're you wearing a British flag?" one boy with floppy black hair asked.

"Because I'm a contradiction like that." she grinned at him. He arched an eyebrow. After a few more minutes, they all stood up and prepared to start the firework show. The first firework was lit, and the group all jumped back a good few feet to give it room. "Happy Fourth of July!" Red called out. It went off and exploded in the night sky, a beautiful bright red. They set off several more fireworks, and at some point Dib glanced at Zim. The alien looked absolutely captivated by the bright colors, and loud noises. He didn't seem to be in pain from the loud explosions, but you never know when he's in pain. The fireworks were reflecting perfectly off his lens covered eyes. Dib smiled, and returned his attention to the sky.

The last two fireworks were lit, and went off at the same time. Red and gold colored the night sky, side by side.


Well... I guess that turned out better than expected. I guess it's a ZADF...not sure... oh well. Review! And happy Fourth of July (that shirt Red was wearing? I'm gonna wear it today. 'Cause I'm a contradiction like that. x3)!
