Zim and Dib go to AniCon
Thanks so much for the warm welcome!
Now I know I have to say this: I do not own Zim! The show. I do have the action figure, though. And a T shirt. That's all the Zim things I own.
I feel like something like this must have been done before, but if it was I couldn' find it. Anyway, I still think this was a good idea.
Chapter One
Zim looked back over his shoulder, saw Dib catching up to him, and ran faster. It seemed they must have been running for miles.
It all started when Zim stepped out out of his house that Saturday morning to get his normal earth newspaper. Suddenly there was a bright flash and Dib jumped from behind Zim's fence, holding up his camera and shouting, "Victory for DIB!"
Zim looked down at himself in horror. He wasn't wearing his disguise! He didn't think he needed to put on his brilliant disguise just to step out to get a normal earth newspaper.
But then he noticed the lens cap was still on Dib's camera, he couldn't resist pointing it out to him. "Nice earth camera, Dib. Is that the new model they're all talking about, the one that doesn't even need a lens?" Zim smugly smirked.
Dib flushed bright red and yanked the lens cap off. He aimed the camera straight at Zim's face and shouted, "Today will be the day I take THE picture of you, Zim! The picture that makes everyone BELIEVE!" Dib pulled himself up the fence and jumped into Zim's yard, landing between Zim and the door of Zim's house.
The gnomes started doing their job then, and the shrieking Dib chased Zim out of his own yard. Dib chased Zim up the street, shrieking with anger now, trying to focus his camera and snapping blurry pictures all the while. Gir appeared at the door, picked up the earth newspaper, and waved. "Enjoy playing with Big Head Boy, Master! See you in time for the Scary Monkey Show! When you come back bring tacoooos!" Then the door with the men's room sign on it slammed shut, and Zim ran harder than ever.
Zim ran and Dib chased him, and eventually they ended up all the way on the other side of town. Zim found out the town was a lot bigger than he ever thought it was, put it that way. The earth humans who lived in this end of town were a lot less angular, for one thing, and they were neither as skinny nor as fat at the humans he was used to. They were all an unhealthy looking shade of reddish pink, and nobody had green or purple hair.
By now, Zim was running out of breath. He knew he couldn't go on running much longer. He didn't want to take out his spider legs and use them to run, someone might notice something unusual about that. Up ahead was a large building with many humans, and other creatures as well, going into it. It reminded him a lot of the stream of Irkens going into the hall on Conventia. Zim knew losing Dib in this crowd was his best chance to shake him off.
