It has been two years since Zim has taken over the world, it all started when I was in high school. My best friend and I, Dib, the "paranormal freak", had become instant best friends the moment I told him I knew zim was an alien. Boy was he happy even though he didn't believe me at first, (he had some trust issues after some guy lied to him about believing in aliens), but I eventually earned his trust by helping him to fight Zim. Various times during class or in the halls I would catch Zim staring at me weirdly. It was strange that's for sure, but I just ignored it because that was Zim, Weird, and weird is Zim's middle name..… well if he had a middle name, but I don't think irken's have middle names. Anyway, after the invasion started Dib and I created the Anti-Zim rebellion. This rebellion lives in an underground town that we found. This town seems to be an old military hide out. Astonishingly enough, we all haven't been found yet, we believe it's because the town is not that big. Ha, look at me using big words. Both of us have become the most important parts of the rebellion, I am the commander of the military. My job is to control our small military force. Believe me, when I say small, I mean small. We have 20 or so people enlisted, but hey, I'm glad we have that at least. As for Dib, he became the "Big Enchilada" as I call him or just the Leader as some people would say, but I still like to tease him. He controls everything, makes up all the plans, and he invents new weapons for the rebellion. So here I am, in the conference room, in a meeting to take down the invaders … I probably should be paying attention.
"(Name)!"
Someone's voice calling my name snaps me out of my trance "Huh? What? I wasn't day dreaming I swear!"
I look around and see an empty room, then at an unamused Dib. Then he smiles "I'll go over it again really quick just for you because you're ….. well." He scratches the back of his head nervously.
I look up at him with puppy dog eyes, "special?"
He laughs happily "Yea you certainly are special," he clears his throat, "Anyway we heard that the two Tallest are coming to earth to give a speech to the rest of the aliens. Of course Zim's going to be there, so we have to create a diversion and take out all three of them, because from what I've seen, the irken's rely on their leaders. All I want you to do though, is watch from the tops of the buildings and make sure everything is going as planned. You must stay hidden, Understand?"
"Yea watch, stay hidden, no prob." I get up and walk to the door
"You know, (Name)"
I turn around and look at Dib "Hmm?"
"Sometimes your carefree and childlike attitude makes me feel like were still in high school keeping Zim from invading the world. Before I failed to protect earth like I swore I would" he looks down and clenches his fist.
I walk over to him and hug him tightly, "It's not your fault." He is tense at first but then relaxes and hugs back, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Thank you for believing in me and always being there (Name), it means so much to me," he says softly.
I smile "No prob Dibarino," I back up, "Come on its time to end this once and for all!" I fist pump
He laughs then nods "Let's do it!" we walk out of the conference room, full of confidence.
