It was a normal day on Planet Earth. In a neighborhood, there was a small, green, house with gnomes outside.

Inside, there was a little gray robot who went by the name Gir. He was on the couch, watching a show called The Scary Monkey Show. The show is literary about a monkey who does absolutely nothing.

Then the door opened. A boy with a skin condition walked in and he was annoyed at Gir. In fact, he wasn't actually a boy, he was an alien. An irken known as Invader Zim.

"Gir! We need to talk."

Gir saw his master. "Hi master!" He yelled. Zim held up a chewed up magazine. "Gir, have you've been eating magazines again?" Zim asked.

"No." Gir lied. Zim stared at Gir, like he was playing dumb. "Gir." He warned.

"What?" Gir asked. "I'll ask you again. Have you've been eating magazine again?" Zim asked.

"Oh yeah." Gir answered.

Zim facepalmed. "Gir!" He yelled. "Yes master?" Gir asked. "You have to stop this. These magazines cost money! Every time you rip. Or in this case every bite cost five dollars!" Zim yelled.

"Sorry." Gir apologize. Zim sighed. "It's alright Gir, but no more eating these. I'm running out of filthy human money." Zim said.

"But you paid for my tacos." Gir explained. "That was months ago. Or was it years?" Zim sighed. "Gir, I want you to listen to me. No more eating magazines. Understand?"

"I understand."

Zim put the chewed up magazine down on a desk and walked away.

When Zim was gone, Gir kept watching his show. Then he peaked at the magazine and saw a taco and a candy cane on it. "Tacos! No. Stay strong. Master said no more. But I need tacos. Ooh. maybe a little. No."

Zim's been in the lab for a long time. At nine pm, he sat on the couch next to Gir.

"Hi master." Gir picked the magazine up. "Look. I didn't eat the magazine."

"That's good Gir." Zim said. Gir smiled.

Five minutes later, both Zim and Gir fell asleep. Then at ten, Gir woke up. "I'm hungry." He looked at Zim and found that Zim was asleep.

Irken's don't need sleep. Zim just falls asleep at night to be more like a human and Gir tires him out.

Gir tried to wake his master, but it didn't work. Then Gir saw the magazine.

"Tacos." Gir grabbed the magazine and ate it. "Mmm. Taste like perfume."

Zim started talking in his sleep. "Don't eat the magazine Gir!"

Gir gasped and spit out part of the magazine. "Oh no. I ate the magazine. Master's not going to like this."

Quickly, Gir grabbed a different magazine. "Maybe I can fix this." Gir got up, opened the door very slowly, and left without putting his disguise on. He was on his way to Dib's house.

At the house, Dib was asleep in his room. Gir quietly ran in and yelled. "Mary!" He screamed.

Dib woke up. "Huh? Zim's evil robot dog thing?" He asked. "Mary, you've got to help me!" Gir screamed.

"Okay, okay. I will." Dib turned a lamp on.

Then his younger sister Gaz walked in. "Dib!" She yelled.

"Gaz." Dib said. "The next time you wake me up at ten pm, you will pay!" Gaz warned. "Sorry." Dib said.

Gir waved to Gaz. "Hi!"

Gaz looked at Dib. "What's he doing here?" She asked. "He needs help with something." Dib answered.

"With what?" Gaz asked. "I ate a magazine and I need you to fix it." Gir said. "Who cares?" Gaz asked. "Me?" Dib asked.

"Please?" Gir begged. "Okay." Dib said. Gaz sat in a chair, took out her Game Slave, and started playing.

"Can I ask you something? Why did you eat this?" Dib asked the robot. "I was lazy to get up, so I ate the taco on the magazine." Gir said.

Dib sighed. "You have to help me Mary!" Gir squeezed Dib's cheeks. "It's Dib and fine, but don't tell Zim. I'd hate for him to find out that I'm helping his evil robot dog thing."

"Okay. Master won't know."

Dib sat up in his bed and started working on the magazine. "Hey Gaz, pass me that other magazine and a scissor okay?" Dib asked.

"Why me?" Gaz asked as she was playing her game. "Come on Gaz." Dib said.

Gaz groaned. "Fine." She got up and threw the magazine at Dib. It hit his face.

"Ow!" Dib yelled. Then he looked at Gir. "What did you say your name was?"

"Gir."

"Okay." Dib said.

"You better not ask me to do more things for you Dib. Or you will pay! And then I'll tell Dad."

"That's a great idea. You tell Dad and he'll see the robot and won't think I'm crazy anymore!"

Professor Membrane heard his kids talking in Dib's room and he walked in. "Everything okay?" He asked.

Quickly, Gir hid under the bed.

"No. My stupid brother woke me up!" Gaz yelled.

"Dad, a robot ate a magazine! And not just any robot. It was Zim's! The alien in my skool! Gaz, tell him about Zim!" Dib yelled.

"Dib, I don't care and your voice is so stupid!" Gaz got off the chair and walked away.

"But…"

"Son, there are no aliens taking over the work." Professor Membrane walked out of the room.

Dib sighed sadly. Gir came out from under the bed. "Hi Mary. So how's the magazine?"

"I'm working on it Gir." Dib cut up a different magazine. Once again, Gaz walked in. "You better not be cutting up a picture about Bloaty's." She warned.

"I'm not." Dib showed Gaz the magazine that he was cutting up. "Okay, but if you do, I will destroy you." Gaz said and she left.

"Goodbye!"

At ten thirty, Dib was finished. "Okay Gir. It's finished."

"Yay! Thank you. I love you." Gir said to the boy. "Now don't tell Zim."

"Okay. Bye." Gir got up from Dib's bed and walked out of the house. Dib turned the light off and went to sleep.

Gir made it back to Zim's house without getting exposed or waking Zim up. "Good. Master's not awake. I'll just put this here."

Gir put the magazine on the table. Then Zim woke up. "Gir?"

"Oh. Hi master." Gir said. "What are you doing?" Zim asked. "Nothing, I'm just fixing these magazines."

"Okay, but no eating them. I am not going to pay five more dollars for every bite." Zim said and he went back to sleep.

Gir licked another part of the same magazine and then went to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the Irken Armada, Zim's leaders, the Almighty tallest were checking on all the invaders.

"So far, there's nothing from Zim." Tallest Red said. "Is he dead?" Tallest Purple asked. "Nah. It's probably just dark on his so called mission." Tallest Red said.

"Can we blow him up?" Tallest Purple asked while eating a donut. "You bet. I just got a plan. We are going to travel to Zim's planet and destroy him." Tallest Red said. "Ooh. I like it."

The Almighty tallest ate donuts, drank soda, and started laughing.
