Dib

"Gaz, please tell me you saw that!" Dib asked franticly. He was staring out a window with over-sized bars. Gaz's eyes were still stuck to her Game Slave.

"Shhh, I'm on level 100000243. 50000 more points and I beat my high score." Gaz said. Dib looked at her in frustration. Ever since he was 9, he knew aliens existed. At his birthday party, he was sure that clown was an alien. His babysitter, also an alien. Who puts kids to bed at 4:30? Okay, so maybe sometimes he was wrong. But he HAD seen an alien. Zim.

"What do I have to do to prove it to you? ZIM. IS. AN. ALIEN! I have to get out of here. If Zim's back, the whole world might be in danger." Dib looked over at Gaz, "Aha, just what I needed!" Dib grabbed Gaz's Game Slave from her hands. Big mistake. Gaz stared at her empty hands, her thumbs still pushing buttons.

"Dib, you only have 3 seconds of life left."

"More than enough time." Dib cried. He took apart the Game Slave, realigned a few wires and...

" Presto, I have invented a laser beam. Only enough power for one shot." Dib pointed the weapon at the wall. The pink rubber walls melted away, leaving Dib a giant escape route.

"Zim, pack your bags. I AM COMING FOR YOU!" Dib screamed as he ran outside. Gaz looked at her Game Slave. The heat from the laser had melted it completely.

"I was on level 1000000243. Level 1000000243" She kept muttering as she walked out the hole towards town.

Zim

Zim waited not so patiently outside a VERY pink house. His human disguise, two human looking lens to cover the bug eyes, and wig to hid the antennae, was in place as he paced back in forth in front of the house.

"WHAT'S TAKING HER SO LONG? Doesn't she go to Skool? Curse GIR for getting kidnapped!" Just then, the little pudgy girl walked out of the VERY pink house. Tied to her back was the little green dog.

"GIR! No, no no! She's not supposed to take GIR to Skool! Fine, I guess I can follow them to Skool. Just go in grab GIR then get out. Nothing fancy, and NO learning. Gha, how I hate Skool!" Zim followed the kidnapper to the old frightening building known as Skool.

"Strange that the humans haven't destroyed this torture chamber yet. I just hope Ms. Bitters isn't..eeep!" Zim turned to see the ice cold hand of Ms. Bitters on his shoulder.

"Zim, so nice to see you've finally made it to class. How many years has it been? 10 years of being TARDY? That gets you ten years in the Tardy closet!"

"NEVER!" Zim cried as he fled inside Skool. He ran through classrooms, in and out of the teacher's lounge and finally stopped outside in the playground.

"Lost her. Ha, that will show her that, gha!" Zim started to declare, until Ms. Bitters nabbed him from behind. Ms. Bitters took Zim to a little broom closet. The word broom was crossed out and above it was penciled "Tardy"

"Enjoy yourself, tardy boy." Ms. Bitters hissed as she threw Zim into the small Tardy closet. Zim looked at a small stain on the floor.

"Ms. Bitters, I think that stain is looking at me." Zim said, but Ms. Bitters had already closed the door.

2 hours later. Zim sat talking to the stain.

"Yes little stain, I know how it feels. To be unrecognized for your genius. Don't worry, you've met a kindred spirit."

3 hours later. Ms. Bitters opened the door and threw in another kid into the closet. Zim was standing in a corner.

"So human, what are you doing in here?" Zim asked.

"Um, my name is Keef, and I was late coming in from the bathroom." Keef said, "Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" A sudden look of dread came over Zim,

"OH NO! Not Keef! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Stain, protect ME!

4 hours later. Zim was huddled in a dark corner as Keef kept jumping up and down around the room, shouting, "MY BEST FRIEND'S BACK, MY BEST FRIEND'S BACK!" Zim was about to go insane when he saw the pudgy little girl outside the broom closet. She still had GIR strapped to her back. She untied him and put in in front of her locker.

"GIR, it's me Zim! Your master! Get me out of here!" Zim ordered.

"Master? MASTER? MASTER?" GIR cried. He quickly removed the green dog suit, folded it, put it in his head, then started running around the hall,

"YEAH, YIPPEE, YAHOO, ALRIGHT, HALLELUJAH, MASTER'S BACK" GIR ran out of Skool, ran around the neighborhood, entered Zim's house and sat on the couch. His pig climbed up next to him.

"Piggy, wanna hear a secret? Okay, here it is. MASTER'S BACK!" GIR yelled into his piggy's ear. Zim was still trapped in the Tardy closet.

"Stupid, worthless robot! I have to get out of here!" Zim pulled and pulled on the door. Then he noticed a little label marked, 'Push.' Zim looked over at Keef.

"Did you know about this?" Zim asked.

"Yep" Keep replied. Zim looked him square in the eye.

"Then, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Zim demanded. Keef just shrugged. Zim opened the door just in time to see the little girl come by her locker.

"My piggy. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY PIGGY?" she yelled at Zim. Zim just stared blankly.

"GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" he screamed as he ran out of Skool.

"I WANT MY PIGGY BACK!" the little girl screamed.

Tak

"Sizz-Lorr, do you have to smell like Beetle Borg fry grease?" Tak complained. Tak's Invader ship wasn't built for a big Irken like Sizz-Lorr.

"Hey, can I help it if MY ship was trashed by YOUR robot?" Sizz-Lorr looked at MiMi accusingly. MiMi hung her head in shame.

"Hey, leave her alone. It's NOT my fault the SIR repair unit put her brain in backwards. Curse Zim for destroying her. Just another reason why we must destroy Zim!" Tak declared. The Irken Invader ship sailed closer and closer to Planet Earth.

"Yes, this will teach Zim for quitting his banishment! He left me to deal with the Foodning, TWICE! This is the first time I've had a good vacation in years." Sizz-Lorr started to relax.

"FOOL! You just hit the reverse engines!" Tak screamed as Sizz-Lorr elbowed a small red switch.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cried Tak.
