It had been a fair few years since the two humans and two Irkens had escaped the control of the Massive and removed the signal of GIR's i-Pod from Zims super computer. And a lot had changed. No random bursts into song for one. Tak had rejoined skool, and now she was with Dib and Zim, just about to finish their first year at Hi-skool. Gaz on the other hand, being a year younger, was about to graduate from middle skool in preparation to join her sibling, friend and 'mate', as Zim called himself around her, in Hi-skool. Not that she was excited, skool was skool in her opinion, there was no point exaggerating the difference in buildings.

Although the presence of Tak had forced him to back off his alien obsession a little, Dib by no means stopped from tampering with the paranormal. And that also meant that him and Zim, although at an alliance, were in no way friends. They put up with one another for the sake of their sanity. Well, that was their excuse, not wanting to give it away that they were each doing it for their 'mates'. Likewise, Zim, knowing that he was now defective, still refused to give up on his mission. He wanted to prove that a defect was able to do something worth while. He was not under the Tallest command any longer, thus didn't wish to call himself a member of the Elite, however, he still referred to himself as an Invader. A self serving Invader. He had no Tallest. He had no ruler. He was Zim, and that was that.

The Irken empire had given up looking for their escaped defects long ago. They had lost contact with the ship the Tak had sent out, not knowing that it was a decoy, and presumed them dead. So for now, they were safe.

On this particular day, it was a Thursday afternoon and everyone was eager to escape from the confines of the classrooms. After this, there was only one more day at skool, and then they were free for the summer break. Zim was glancing at the clock, anxious as the time moved on without him. As soon as the bell went, it was his duty to run and meet Gaz from her skool. He remembered the last time he'd been late. He shuddered, but he relished it, that was one of the reasons he liked that human. No other human could strike fear into him like she did.

Tak listened to the whispers behind her and hunched over. Not again, she thought, just one day leave me alone. Dib looked over at her curiously. He knew that she'd been having some trouble settling in, but he thought he'd helped her. So why was she still shrinking into herself like that?

The bell rang and Zim sprinted from the room, vanishing from sight. Also in an attempt to get out, Tak didn't wait for Dib like she usually did, instead she too ran. He sighed and took his time following her, he'd give her a little time alone before he tried anything…

Meanwhile, GIR sighed with boredom. Mimi had gone out to do… whatever it is that Mimi robots do, GIR didn't know. But he missed her, he was someone to play with and when she was around his antenna did a little sparky thingy that he liked. Bored… Even Mini-Moose wasn't being any fun. He just hovered there… doing nothing. Much like the little robot.

GIR groaned aloud just to fill the silence. He missed sounds and noise, things that could distract him. In a fit of boredom he kicked the desk that sat next to the computer. A draw came loose and clattered to the floor, its contents spilling out. He chuckled at the sound, but then went right back to being bored.

He looks around and see's you sitting there, reading this. GIR grinned and waved.

"Hi munchkin reader! I broke fourth wall again! I like breaking things! So bored! Play with GIR? You been gone too long!" he see's you looking at something behind him, "Ooooooh! What's that?" he grinned.

He picked up something that had fallen from the draw. It was square with a small screen and headphones coming out of it. He cried out in a series of maniacal laughs before prodding his long lost friend.

"You brought Poddie back to GIR! Thank you…" he sobbs, "I love you!"

He jabbed it in irritation, but the screen remained dark and unusable.

"AWE it's broken! Oh, nah it isn't! Needs to wake up!" he decided firmly.

He looked around and saw the computer, he stuck out his tongue with excitement and turned to slot his i-Pod into the machine. But he hesitated, he looks at you for guidance.

"Me thinks Masta told me not to do this again after last time… but it was so fun… GIR wants to sing again!" he grins at you, "You don't remember Masta telling me not to, do ya? NAH, me either!"

He dropped the musical device into the machine and waited patiently. The computer burst into life and started humming with the new data it was receiving. The familiar booming tone cried out from the speakers.

Musical Data Waves Download Complete!

"Now… tha BIG button!" he grinned, "Munchkin reader? Should GIR press it?"

He waits for a moment for you to answer him.

GIR grins, "I can't hear ya so I hopes ya said yes!"

He slammed his fist on the button and stood back in awe.

Musical data waves now programmed subconsciously, galactic. Broadcasting NOW!

GIR ducked as smoke started hissing from the back of the computer, a large chunk of the screen cracked and splintered. He squeezed his eyes shut as he hear the bouncy ryth starting t pulsate in the air around him.

Blow – Ke$ha: (recommended by IZFanficReader4fun):

GIR:

(giggles before pointing at you the reader) DANCE!

GIR relished in the techno tune that pumped in the air around him. He'd missed this so much and he wasn't going to waste a moment of it. The i-Pod was downloaded, the familiar demanding tone of the computer told him that the music was now being broadcasted once again. He grinned and bounced in the spot.

Once again I'm singing a song, come sing it with me, you know you want to,

Now the tune has stated to play, there's no where to run!

GIR's eyes flashed red for a second, pointing once again at you with a wicked grin before fading back to the neon blue.

You're coming with me!

It's time to bring it back and start a musical,

The music shall re-

I-Pod is taking over, no ones getting out!

The music has retur-ur-ur-ur-urned! Retur-ur-ur-ur-urned!

This place about to blow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! Blow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

Mini-Moose:

GIR:

The songs in control, they'll sing what they want, or sing what they don't!

Dib and Masta with Gaz and Tak, they'll love this I know, now on with the show! HA!

It's time to let it go and let the music out!

The music has re-

Now we're having fun and will be forever!

Cuz I broke the compu-u-u-u-u-u-ter! Agai-ai-ai-ai-ain!

You think it will explo-ow-ow-ow-ow-ode? Explo-ow-ow-ow-ode!

The music has retur-ur-ur-ur-urned! Retur-ur-ur-ur-urned!

Let's get on with the show-ow-ow-ow-ow! Show-ow-ow-ow-ow!

Computer has gone –

GIR paused for a moment from his dancing in thought as the song chose to slow down slightly. He remembered what had happened the last time he'd broken the computer and changed the universe into a musical. He'd been in trouble, Gaz had been kidnapped and his Master had nearly been killed. GIR frowned, but then something sparked in his little robotic mind that made him grin manically. It had been an adventure… He liked adventures… AGAIN! he thought, AGAIN! The song continued with his mood:

GIR:

Go go go go and sing, go and sing!

An adventure, make it rain on em!

Let me hear them sing! Let me, let me hear them sing!

Go insane! Go insane!

They will love it, what'll happen to em?

Masta will enjoy, I know I know he'll enjoy!

GIR clutched his head from the overload of music pumping around him. He continued to sing, only it was grunted and forced through gritted metal teeth.

Music taking… over!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh…

Get used to it!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh…

The little robot threw his arms in the air, grinning manically as he cried out his next time through fits of hysterics.

NOW ON WITH THE SHOW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW! Show-ow-ow-ow-ow!

The music has retur-ur-ur-ur-urned! Retur-ur-ur-ur-urned!

This place about to blow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! Blow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

It's time for a sequel-el-el-el-el! Sequel-el-el-el!

The music has returned…

"Bye Munchkin! Talk to ya later kay?"

Zim just managed to make it to the skool just as Gaz was walking out. She smiled at him and stood before him expectantly. He arched his brow, the smile was not her usual 'I'm glad to see you but don't make a fuss' smile. This one was more of a 'I'm smiling for the sake of it, but you are in trouble'.

Instead of giving him a greeting, she just walked right past him. He lookeda round to see if anyone else had noticed this reaction, no one had. All of a sudden, he felt the need to cover his ears. Someone was playing their music really loud. He ignored it and rushed up to walk next to Gaz, curiosity burning inside of his squeedly-squooch.

Hey Juliet – LMNT:

Zim:

Hey there, Gazlene… Hey there Gazlene!

Hey Zim's been watching you, every little thing you do,

Every time Zim sees you pass, in my squeedly-squooch makes it beat so fast!

I've sang this I think twice, but I see you roll your eyes,

Wish Zim knew what was wrong, but your lips are sealed that ain't nothing new…

Zim grabbed her arm and span her around so that she was facing him, he leant in close and tilted her chip upwards so that they locked eyes.

Cuz Zim knows you really like him, he hears the Dibs talks about him,

So he tries to kill me? But you save me, so please hear me!

Hey there Gazlene!

I think your fine, you really blow my mind!

Maybe, you could, tell me what's been up?

Zim just wants you to know, he's feels that something wrong,

With his Gazlene, Hey there Gazlene!

Gaz sighed and pulled away from him, walking in the opposite direction down the street. Zim arched his brow.

Hey there Gazlene!

He managed to catch up with her and pick her up over his head so that she could escape him. He walked over to a tree that stood by the sidewalk and pinned her gently against it, looking down on her with determination.

Gaz you got Zim so confused, thinking what did I do now?

Didn't blow Dib up like I wanted to! Thinking… Hey Gazlene, it'd be quieter with him gone…

You scare Zim with that look, but I'm gonna stand my ground.

Give Zim just a hint or say, or a smile or a glare gimme something now!

Cuz I know you're gonna tell me, you've never kept secrets from me,

So why you trying to do without Zim, when you got Zim, where you want Zim!

Come on Gazlene!

You know, you're mine, now you're just wasting time!

Maybe, it's time, you told me the problem now,

I just want you to know, Zim will help you through,

Listen, Gazlene…

That hurt Gazlene!

Gaz had stamped hard on his foot, making him stumble to the side, giving her chance to escape. Zim still followed after her, only raising his voice.

Get back Gazlene!

Zim knows you're gonna tell him! It's just a matter of time!

So why you trying to fight Zim, when you know Zim, won't give up?

You don't have to give me that look? Let's just hang together?

So hear Zim when he says…

I'll help Gazlene!

Hey there Gazlene!

Please stop Gazlene!

Zim finally managed to catch up with her, this time grabbing her arm and swinging her around to that he had her clutched to his chest, pinning her in place. She gritted her teeth as he continued to make a spectacle of himself.

Zim knows, you're his, don't leave him here like this!

Maybe, you say, what's been up with you?

Zim just wants you to know, he'll make it go away,

Come on Gazlene… Tell Zim Gazlene!

Zim thinks, your fine, you really blow his mind,

Maybe, Gaz could, explain the matter?

It's not that hard to say, you know I won't go away!

Tell Zim Gazlene! Come on Gazlene! I'll help Gazlene! (X2)

Zim span her around to the she fell backwards, her neck in the crook of his elbow, forcing her to hold onto him for balance.

Hey there Gazlene…

The music faded and the pair were left in the compromising position, staring at one another. Zim had really tried his hardest there. He gasped for breath and looked down at his mate. If she refused to tell him, he was more than temped to just left her fo and fall on the ground. She rolled her eyes at him again and looked like she was about to say something.

"You really want to know what's wrong Zim?" she snapped.

He nodded, "Hasn't that what Zim has just said?"

"No. You didn't say. You sang."

She saw his lavender-blue irises dilate in horror, "Zim did what?"

"You were singing Zim. Now why would you bee doing that?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

He thought back, of course, how had the ingenious Zim have missed it? The music pumping in the air, the way his throat now felt like it was going to explode in on itself, he hadn't felt the need to do that since… But no, it couldn't be. Not again!

"Ow…"

He looked down at the sound, pulling him from his thoughts. In his horror and sudden trail of through, he'd let his mate slip from his grasp and hit the ground. He grinned sheepishly and then suddenly narrowed his eyes in rage as he helped Gaz to her feet. She watched in curiosity as he started to growl.

"I'm going to destroy that robot…"

Tak burst into her base and started scrubbing at her burning face, fading out of her human disguise and revealing her Irken form. She hated crying, it was un-Irken and hurt like hell! But sometimes it was either necessary or unstoppable. Maybe even both if she was on a really bad day. Like today…

They'd called her names again, names that no human let alone Irken should ever be called. There was only so much she could do about her human form, it was limited, but her Irken form, she could still alter that. And she had been trying to. By nature, Irkens were never 'curvy' as humans call it, but it depressed her that the males of his planet glorified them. What if her Dib started to fall for that outlet, she'd be of no interest to him any more. She had lsot everything in her life, she couldn't loose him too.

She pulled open a draw in her desk and pulled out a glass syringe and a sealed glass vial. She'd discovered long ago that humans have 'hormones' and that they can be injected to induce emotions or, in her case, curves. She'd been doing this for some time now, and Dib had only caught her once. He'd taken them away from her, but it was all to easy to get them back. He could kid himself that he wasn't going to be tempted by another female, but he couldn't kid her. It didn't hurt her, it just left a little mark. Tak filled the needle and hovered it over her arm. For Dib, she thought, for Dib.

"Tak!"

She jumped and dropped the needle to the floor, spinning on her heel to see who had dared intrude on her private quarters, let alone her base. She almost felt inclined to relax as she saw the figure before her. Raven hair styled in a scythe-spike, glasses that magnified his amber eyes… But his expression of disappointment and panic made her tense even more.

"Tak…" Dib sighed, "You promised me."

"You don't know what it's like! To have them point and call names and make you feel like the lowest life form of the galaxy!"

"Yeah, actually I do. But I don't care because that's their problem, not mine." He retorted.

"I don't see it that way…" she snapped.

He watched as tears started to seep from her violet eyes. The sound of music made him jump, there must have been some noisy neighbours or something… He shook it off and looked down at Tak, not sure how to comfort her. Normally he'd just attempt a hug or pointlessly tell her that everything was going to be okay. But not today. Today, something else was pushing him forward.

The Last Night – Skillet: (for WatermelonwafflesBISCUITS who loves Skillet)

Dib:

You come to me with holes in your wrists, You tell me this will be the last time injecting this.

Tak:

I just want to look like them, didn't want you to have a freak, it's fine…

Both:

But I/You know it's a lie!

Dib:

This is the last night you'll spend alone,

Look me in the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere, you want me to be,

I've got you that's all I want, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,

I'm everything, you need me to be.

Dib stepped forward, crushing the vial of hormones under his foot and gripped her shoulders, looking forcefully into her violet eyes. For a moment, she looked like she was going to hit him, but she relaxed and leaned into him. He sighed and stroked her antenna gently.

Dib:

You don't need to do this just to please them,,

Cuz they don't know you like I know you, they don't know you at all…

Tak:

I'm so sick of when they say, you're such a freak or go away,

I'm fine…

Both:

But I/you know it's a lie!

Dib:

Don't change a damn thing you are perfect,

Look me I the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be,

It's the last time I'll let you hurt, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,

Just stop this it won't change how I feel,

The last night, away from me…

Dib stepped away from the Irken and started clearing up the shards of broken glass and needles, brushing away the feel of the human hormones from his hands. He looked over and saw one of her bags. Without hesitation, he started shoving her clothes and other items inside of it.

The night is so long when everything wrong,

If you give me your hand, I will help you hold.

Tonight… Tonight…

Tak stared at her mate in shock and awe. He was willing to make her live with him, just so he could watch over her? Was she worth that much to him? Why? She had failed at everything in her life. She couldn't even make herself look more human for him. Why did he care about such a failure so much? She jumped as she noticed her hands being folded in his. He looked at her determinedly as if there was no force on Earth that was going to change his mind.

This is the last night you'll spend alone,

Look me I the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be,

The last night you'll spend alone, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go,

I'm everything, you need me to be…

I won't let you hurt yourself, and I'll be your reason why…

The last night away from me…

Come live with me…

He felt her antenna entwine around the scythe-spike in his hair and she leant forward to nip his chin gently, he in turn brushed his teeth against hers. It was something that he'd gotten used to over the years. A strange Irken custom to express affection.

"You'd really let me live with you?"

He smirked, "It's the only way I'm gonna be able to keep an eye on you."

She shook her head, "Idiot human…"

"Crazy Irken…" he retorted playfully.

He pulled her close and held her there for a moment, before he suddenly froze as realisation washed over him. She pulled back, eyes wide ready to attack what had made him react so. His jaw was tensed and his body rigid.

"Dib?" she asked, nervously.

He struggled to find the words, "Did we just… sing?"

Her eyes narrowed. Had they just sang? No, they couldn't have, they hadn't sung since that idiotic SIR unit of Zim's merged the music device with the supercomputer. But he'd fixed it so that it could never happen again, didn't he. She gritted her teeth, he probably forgot. Oh that moron! The couple looked at each other and said with mirrored irritation and determination the one thing they were certain was the root of this problem.

"Zim."

A/N:

Well that's the first chapter of my Invader Zim Musical Sequel, wow try saying that ten times really fast XD

I know it's a bit long, but I wanted to get as much of a big intro as I could before things got moving. Now I hope you liked it and don't be afraid to send me a song request or something like that. Just so you know I'm probably going to be a little slower with updating this because I'm writing another story at the moment and the songs take ages to re-write, but this is a taster of what's to come. XD

Review and Enjoy or Enjoy then Review, whatever one comes first. Why is that my catchphrase? XD
