Part 1: Wish upon a star

Invader Zim sat on his roof in his Irken self. The city had go through a blackout, again. He sighed and looked up into the sky. He never felt so home sick. Zim closed his eyes and imagined he was home again on his home planet, Irk.

"Aww, what's the matter?" Zim opened his eyes to see G.I.R. in his robot self.

"Nothing." Zim muttered.

"Nothing?" The tiny robot replied, "It doesn't sound like nothing to me. Somebody needs a hug!" G.I.R. hugged his master and squashed some of his organs.

"G.I.R.! Just......Just leave me alone. Nothing's wrong."

G.I.R. began to cry. Zim couldn't have any attention drawn to him while he wasn't in costume.

"O.K., O.K., I'll tell you what's wrong!" he said quickly. Just as fast as G.I.R. began to cry he began to smile and went and sat with his master.

"I'm very homesick G.I.R."

"Awww, you miss Irk."

"Yes G.I.R., I'm sick of these humans and their ways. They're inefficient, lazy, sloppy, and miserable. All they do is annoy each other. I want to talk to someone who's Irken. I want to talk about Irken things, argue about Irken politicks, eat Irken food, cheer at Irken sports, and check out Irken females." Zim sighed as G.I.R. sat and listen, "What would I give to feel the warmth of the triplet suns or the glow from our 75 moons?" He paused and closed his large eyes and imagined his home once more.

"Irk was like that?" G.I.R. asked amazed and wondering what things were like on Irk.

"Yes. You wouldn't know these things. The only planet you have ever been on is Conventia and this spinning ball of mud. It's not good for you, ya know." Zim added, "You should have times when your with your fellow robots, not pigs and monkeys. You should swap information with them or chart out black holes and their magnitude or boast how many planets your master has invaded." Suddenly a shooting star went flying pass. Zim closed his eyes and wished for something extraordinary to happen to take his mind off his home planet. The star seemed as though it was trying to land. Finally it landed in a deserted area. There was a loud drone and then there was a flash of red lights the green lights, red lights and then green lights. Zim gasped,

"The distress signal!"
