Chapter Two: The Horrible Day of Doom!
We rejoin our story with Gaz and Dib screaming, a scream so loud it broke every window in the house and caused an unfortunate squirrel to burst into flames.
"AHHHHHH!" screamed Dib and Gaz, their cries of terror being joined by that of the unfortunate squirrel.
"Dib! What the hell is going on, why are we stuck together?" said Gaz, trying to rip herself off of their combined hip.
"I don't know, all I remember is Zim then…oh that rotten alien! This is his fault, he did this to us!" said Dib.
"Oh this is perfect, as if your not annoying me enough already, now I have to deal with it 24 hours a day." said Gaz.
"Look, I hate this as much as you do…" said Dib.
"I highly doubt that." said Gaz, Dib then continued.
"…But we have to figure out a way to get ourselves apart again." said Dib.
"And how do we do that Mr. Big head?" said Gaz.
"My heads not big! Anyway, maybe we can get Dad to help us?" said Dib.
"Oh no, no way are we asking Dad for help, remember what happened when he found out all I could taste was pig?" said Gaz.
"Oh yeah, the pig mouth incident, that was a particularly horrible experience for all involved." said Dib.
"Correct, in fact I'm still mad at you for that." said Gaz, and then she punched him in the left arm. (Gaz is on the left side, and Dib is on the right.)
But then instead of hearing the pleasing sound of her brother in pain, she heard nothing. Just as she was about to punch him again an incredible pain shot through her left arm and she yelled.
"OW! What the heck just happened?" said Gaz, rubbing her sore arm.
"Hmm, it would seem that our central nervous systems have been combined as well. But not only that, if one person is harmed, the other will feel the pain." said Dib.
"Oh great, I can't even doom you anymore, this day just gets worse and worse." said Gaz.
"Yeah, but now its pay back time." said Dib who then punched himself in the stomach.
"Ow! Why you…" said Gaz, grabbing her hurting stomach.
"That's for all the times you beat me up, now I can finally get you back for it, and I won't feel a thing." said Dib.
"I'm going to doom you!" said Gaz.
"Yeah right, you'll only hurt yourself if you…wait what are you doing?" said Dib, as Gaz then bit her right arm.
"Ouch! That hurt!" said Dib.
"You bet it did, now prepare to feel pain unlike any you have ever known." said Gaz.
"Bring it on sister!" said Dib.
And so they proceeded to beat themselves up, and wreak the living room, kitchen and basement lab. After about a hour of this they were laying in a heap in the living room, too tired and hurt to move.
"Gaz, this is getting us nowhere." said Dib.
"Yeah, this is stupid." said Gaz.
"We have to think of a way to break into Zim's base and reverse whatever it was he did to us." said Dib.
"Yes, and when we find him he will pay dearly." said Gaz.
But that revenge would have to wait, for one of the Skool's truant officer drones burst into the room. It used its electronic eye to scan the room, and it eventually fell on Gaz and Dib.
"Subjects Dib and Gaz, you are tardy from Middle Skool, I am here to forcibly take you there." said the computer voice of the drone.
"Uh this isn't a really good time…" began Dib, but the drone ignored him.
"Beginning capture sequence now." said the drone.
Before they could do anything the drone shot out a net that captured them. The drone then reeled them in and fly towards the school.
"This is bad, this is very bad." said Dib.
"No really? Do you think?" said Gaz.
The drone ignored them and continued on to the middle skool, its first stop was Ms. Bitters classroom.
"Subject Dib, here is your classroom." Said the drone, it then grabbed both Dib and Gaz, not realizing they were attached.
"Wait! You making a mistake…" said Dib, but the drone threw them into the classroom.
"Suject Gaz you will be…where did she go...Subject Gaz gone…does not compute." said the drone, then it had a short circuit and exploded.
Inside Ms. Bitters classroom Dib and Gaz picked themselves up and came face to face with the wide eyed stares of the skool children. Zim was there as well, grinning at his evil handy work.
"Wow, Dib is stuck to his freaky sister." said one of them.
"And it thought they couldn't get freakier." said Zita.
"They're like some sort of freaky Siamese howler monkey or something." said the Letter M.
The rest of the class was talking about Dib and Gaz's freaky appearance when Ms. Bitters slithered into the room. She apparently moved up in the skool system, anyway as she entered the room fell silent, except for Zim's soft evil chuckling.
"Silence! Dib, you're late! What excuse do you have this time? Was it Bigfoot, or the chupacabra?" said Ms. Bitters.
"No Ms. Bitters it was Zim, he…" began Dib, but Gaz put her hand over his mouth to silence him.
"We accidentally came in contact with Tuesday's lunch special, and we fused together." said Gaz.
"Hmm, that makes sense, it would explain why you two are fused together, anyway take your seat so that I may tell you all how you are doomed." said Ms. Bitters.
Dib and Gaz sat down at Dib's desk and Ms. Bitters began her lesson plan of doom.
"Now where was I last time, oh yes, you are all doomed, doomed, dooooomed!" said Ms. Bitters.
"Thank goodness the food at this school is so bad, it serves as an excuse for anything." said Gaz quietly.
"Gaz, why did you stop me from telling her it was Zim?" said Dib quietly.
"One because she won't have believed you and we would be in trouble, and second I just like making you shut up." said Gaz.
"Dib and…uh, what is your name?" said Ms. Bitters.
"Gaz." said Gaz.
"Right, do you two want to be sent to the underground classrooms?" said Ms. Bitters.
"No Ms. Bitters." said Dib and Gaz.
"Then shut your snot filled pie holes and be quiet. Now to continue, doom, doom, doom…" said Ms. Bitters
This continued until it was lunch time.
"Doom, doom, doom, go to lunch!" said Ms. Bitters angrily as the bell rang.
So the students dashed madly out of the room and to the cafeteria, glad to be away from Ms. Bitters for a while. Dib and Gaz followed suit and soon were in the cafeteria. As they entered they noticed that Zim was sitting at his usual table, poking at the food on his plate like it was alive, and considering the way the food was normally it probably was. Dib stomped over to Zim, dragging Gaz along with him.
"Zim, we know you did this to us, now give us the antidote." said Dib.
"I don't know what you're talking about Dib, and even if I did there is no way you would get in to my base to get it." said Zim.
"Oh we will get in, and once we do, we will cure ourselves and expose you for the horrible alien you are." said Dib.
"Your all talk Dib, you will never beat me." said Zim.
It was then that Gaz grabbed the front of Zim's uniform and stared at him with hate filled eyes.
"Normally I don't agree with Dib, but we will beat you, and you will pay dearly for what you have done to us." said Gaz.
"Uh…well…your mama!" said Zim.
"That doesn't make sense." said Gaz.
"Maybe to your tiny human brain it doesn't." said Zim.
"Whatever." said Gaz, as she threw Zim back into his seat.
Dib and Gaz walked back to their usual table and sat down.
"That was kind of neat, its good to see others receiving your wrath instead of me." said Dib.
"Can it Dib, we have to plan how to get into Zim's house and make him suffer like he has never suffered before." said Gaz.
"I have tons of plans in my locker for breaking into Zim's house." said Dib.
"Ugh, I never thought I would say this, show me your plans Dib." said Gaz.
Dib grinned insanely as he dragged his sister off to see his giant folders full of plans.
"But first, I have to go to the bathroom." said Gaz, stopping them in front of the restrooms.
"Uh, just one question, which one do we use?" said Dib.
"I...don't know." said Gaz, realizing they had never checked what gender their lower half was.
"Well on of us has to look, and its not going to be me." said Dib.
"Fine, I'll check you big baby." said Gaz.
And so Gaz quickly checked.
"It looks like I win." said Gaz.
"Aw man! My lower half is a girl, that is not right!" said Dib.
"Whatever." said Gaz as she dragged a very unhappy Dib into the girl's bathroom.
After Gaz went to use the rest room, and Dib finished throwing up, they went to his locker to look at his palns. The school day dragged on and on after that, mostly for Gaz because she had to listen to Dib explain his spying plans in painful mind numbing detail. Finally school was over and the two siblings went home. Several hours went by as they prepared to infiltrate Zim's base, and soon it was night. They snuck up to the house using one of their dad's stealth suits, modified to fit them, and soon were in front of the hideous green house.
"You ready Gaz?" said Dib.
"Yeah, lets go kick Zim's green butt." said Gaz.
So the two teens made their way to the door of the house, using electronic scramblers to short out the gnome guards. They got to the door and found that it was oddly enough unlocked.
"Hmm, why would Zim leave his door unlocked?" whispered Dib.
"That weird robot of his probably did it, now shut up and lets get inside." said Gaz.
They entered the living room to find that Gir was sitting in front of the TV watching the scary monkey show.
"Hi big head and scary girl! I'm watching the scary monkey show!" said Gir.
"Uh Gir, you wouldn't happen to know where Zim is would you?" said Dib.
It was then that the Gir went into duty mode and he jumped down from the couch and lasers popped out of his head.
"Halt, you are intruders!" said Gir.
"We'll give you a taco if you tell us where Zim is." Said Gaz, this instantly brought Gir back to his normal insane self.
"Yay! Taco! Master is down stairs talking to the big tall guys." said Gir.
"Hmm, Zim must be talking to his leaders, that is perfect! With him distracted we can sneak up on him and take him by surprise." said Dib.
"Ok, then lets get moving, here's your taco." Said Gaz as she threw the taco to Gir.
As Gir enjoyed his spicy snack food, Gaz and Dib climbed into Zim's trash can elevator and descended to the lab. Meanwhile Zim was talking to the Almighty Tallest about his latest plan to destroy humanity.
"Zim, what exactly do the dancing cyber weasels have to do with destroying the Earth?" said Tallest Purple.
"That is the beauty of the plan, if you can't figure out what they are for, surly the humans will never know what hit them." said Zim.
"That's nice Zim but we have…important Tallest things to do." said Tallest Red.
He signaled to one of the deck crew to cut the transmission, but nothing happened.
"What in the name of Irk is going on?" said Red as he stabbed at the button furiously.
"Oh that was me, I've noticed that every time I call you the transmission gets broken for some reason. So I invented a device that allows me to keep it open so that I may finish explaining my brilliant plans to you." said Zim.
"Zim…" said Red angrily, but Zim ignored him and continued.
"Anyway, were was I, oh yes! my new plan is sure to succeed now that I have gotten those two annoying humans out of the way, they will be unable to stop me from destroying this stinking rock of dirt." said Zim.
Little did Zim realize that those same humans were sneaking up behind him. Soon they were right behind him, but before they could strike Purple noticed them.
"Uh Zim, what is that hideous thing behind you?" said Purple.
"Huh?...Dib and Gaz!...uh I'll call you back." said Zim as he cut the transmission to the Massive.
"Thank Irk that's over, Now technician." said Red.
"Yes my Tallest?" said the Technician.
"Find whatever Zim did to your communications systems and remove it, if you don't we'll hurl you out the air lock." said Red.
"Right away my Tallest." said the Technician as he frantically worked to fix the problem.
Meanwhile back in Zim's lab he was dealing with the unwanted company.
"Dib and Gaz, what a unpleasant surprise, do you know that you just interrupted a very important call?" said Zim.
"Who cares Zim, we want the antidote to whatever you did to us, and we want it now." said Dib.
"Never! I will never give you the antidote, with you like this nothing can stop me
"You better hand it over if you know what's good for you." said Gaz.
"Always with the threats Gaz human, well they won't work here. Computer, capture the intruders!" said Zim.
Suddenly a bunch of wires shot out of the ceiling and rapped around Gaz and Dib. The wires pulled them off the ground and restricted them, then Zim walked up to his helpless enemies.
"So what now Zim, are you going to destroy us?" said Dib.
"No, I think it would be much better for you to watch as I conquer your puny planet, while you can do nothing to stop me. Computer eject this filth from my lab, the Tallest are still waiting for me to call back." said Zim.
The computer obeyed and threw Dib and Gaz into a trash chute and they were shot out of the house and onto the street with a loud thud. They picked themselves off of the ground and looked at the house.
"Well, that was a bust." said Gaz.
"I know, Zim will pay dearly for this." said Dib, in the same dark voice Gaz uses when she is mad.
"Zim will not get away with this, we will get the the antidote and then expose him to all humanity for what he is." said Gaz, in the same savior of Humanity voice Dib uses when he is being all dramtic.
It was after these two statements that Dib and Gaz noticed something was was odd. They looked at each other and then the next weird thing happened.
"Did you just…" said Dib.
"…act like me?" said Gaz, finishing the sentence.
But before they could contemplate more on this weird event something even weirder and more horrible happened. Suddenly they were racked with pain and their whole body shock. They looked down to see that their bodies were zipping together like a jacket. Soon their arms on that side were gone as their bodies combined, putting their heads on the same pair of shoulders.
"What the heck is going on?" said Gaz.
"I think I know, when Zim combined us it must have started a process that is still on going." said Dib.
"So that means?" said Gaz.
"It means that if we don't stop it soon we will be completely combined together, including our personalities, and nothing will ever reverse it." said Dib.
"NOOOOO!" yelled Gaz, shattering all glass for five miles.

Well that was the second chapter, it looks like things are just getting worse and worse for Dib and Gaz. Some say I may be cruel for doing this to them, but I tend to ignore them. Anyway please read and review.
