This fic's title is a reference to "Freaky Friday" for the body swap plot.
Have fun reading this fic.
Dib was chasing Zim with a tranquilizer gun in his hand in hopes he would render his alien nemesis to sleep and attempt to capture him.
"I've got you cornered Zim! You can't escape me this time!" Dib said as he chased Zim into a dead end between two buildings and a fence.
Seeing Zim cornered, Dib pulled the trigger on the tranquilizer gun; yet Zim dodged the dart and quickly thought of a plan.
"Think again Dib-human." Zim responded back when he saw a metal trash can lid on the ground.
Dib pulled the trigger on tranquilizer gun again, but this time Zim used the trash can lid to deflect the dart and sent it flying back at Dib.
The dart hit Dib on the arm and was about to make him pass out.
"You jerk!" Dib said drowsily before passing out.
Zim picked up the tranquilizer gun next to Dib.
"Your inferior Earth technology is no match for the almighty Zim!" Zim said as he ran off with the gun, heading back to his base.
*2 Hours Later*
Dib returned to his house after some white coats found him on the sidewalk where he passed out.
They then questioned Professor Membrane about Dib's actions.
"This boy is crazy." one of the white coats said.
"He claims he was chasing an alien and then he accidentally shot himself with a tranquilizer pistol."
"I'm not making this up Dad. I caught that alien Zim in my track but he got away again." Dib told his father.
"My poor insane son." Membrane said.
"You know you are not supposed to fool around with dangerous equipment and misuse them."
"I want you to stay clear of trouble and get some sense into yourself." Membrane reprimanded his son.
"But Dad!" Dib said again.
"Not another word son. Now go to your room!" Membrane told Dib.
*Cut To Scene In Dib's Room*
"Aw man! If only someone would understand what my life is like." Dib said to himself.
"You're talking to yourself again aren't you." a voice came from the doorway of Dib's room.
"Gaz, is that you at my door?" Dib asked.
"Yes, why bother to ask if you are already familiar with my voice?" Gaz said to her brother.
"I just want to make sure you are not Zim in disguise." Dib said.
Gaz opened the door to Dib's room and walked inside.
"Are you getting more stupid, or are you just paranoid?" she asked him.
"No Gaz. I'm just wondering about something." Dib told his sister.
"What exactly are you thinking about? I hope it does not have anything to do with causing more trouble." Gaz said.
"It's not that, I was just wondering what it would be like to be someone else for once." Dib replied.
"You can think about it, but you're going to regret being in someone else's shoes once you find out." Gaz told Dib.
"Just wait Gaz, maybe there is a machine that will let me switch bodies with someone else for a chance." Dib said to Gaz again.
Dib got out of his room and went to search through his father's lab.
"Dream on Dib." Gaz said.
