Dib went into the living room. Gaz was sitting on the sofa watching tv and playing her gameslave.

'No autopsy, huh?' She asked uninterestedly.

Dib grunted and sat down beside her.

He had had it all planned out perfectly. How could his father see any flaws in his Real Science Argument? He thought back to when he had captured Zim.

FLASHBACK

He had made it past the lawn gnomes unnoticed using his inviso-suit (it had been fixed after GIR threw Suck monkey on it), and past the robot with a split personality. It had been watching cartoons. Weird cartoons of things jumping up and down to scarily happy music.

He had made his way down to the underground part of the base by using the lift in the garbage disposal unit. He had long ago managed to ensure the house at least followed simple instructions, like go down or find Zim. He couldn't make it go against Zim or his orders, but it was good enough. GIR hadn't noticed the lift working without anybody there to operate it, and it had brought him to the same level that Zim was on. Ignoring all the cool alien technology that usually surrounded him and tempted him to get distracted and forget the real mission, was missing. In its place were boxes. Boxes with names like "Spare Gnomes", "Gears, Circuits, Headless Bodies" and "Krllxk". He found Zim after 15 minutes of searching. He was looking through a box marked "human FILTH clothing, PATHETIC Earthen monies" and muttering something about GIR, Llamas and exploding scarves. He hadn't even noticed Dib as he came up behind him and placed a small disc on his PAK. The disruption in the signals alerted Zim to Dibs presence. He spun around and stumbled slightly as his body attempted to function without many of the signals that it was constantly fed by the PAK.

'Dib' Zim tried to growl, but all he could manage was a feeble wheeze before he passed out.

Dib laughed at this. 'Superior Irken technology? I easily defeated you with a simple HUMAN signal disrupter. How could you have been the race who "have the galaxy enslaved"' he quoted from passages he had read from the archives of Taks ship. He pulled Zim to the lift, still monologuing. "You Irkens must be really stupid. I mean, If YOU'RE the best that they could send to Earth. And you didn't even do a simple test of the planets atmosphere and main... things to see if it was poisonous to you. And why would you want to take over a planet that has 80 of the surface area made of water. I bet if I spat on you you'd smoke.' Dib did jut that, and was pleased to see that, although not having as visual an effect as water did, it still burnt a little. 'You Irkens are so pathetic and stupid. How did you even manage space flight?

'But Tak seemed pretty smart. Maybe Zim's a very stupid example of his race. Or Tak could have been really smart. Computer, ground level. Zim probably hides his stupidity behind his loudness, and his talking alot. He also probably also hides his stupidity behind his arrogance. What if he doesn't even know he's stupid? It would be great if he actually believed all his self propaganda.' Dib laughed at that, then got out of the Garbage disposal unit.

He found GIR staring at him, and worried that his plan had gone wrong. 'Master? Master, you look sick. Do you want some waffles? Ha ha, you're floating master. I'll make you some waffles.'

Dib smiled and relaxed. He still had his invisi-suit on. He put on a bad Zim voice, and said 'No, GIR, No waffles today. Zim needs to go out. I won't be back for a while, so look after the house.' He got a dumb nod from GIR, and proceeded to exit the house unhampered.

When he got outside and had left the gnomefield behind, he turned the suit off and put a hat on Zim, to make him seem more normal. He didn't want anyone finding out and trying to steal his limelight. When he got home he would prove to his dad, THE professor Membrane, that aliens did exist, and then his dad would give him credibility, he would gain some respect from his dad, and the world would stop seeing Dib as "the crazy son of Professor Membrane."

That was of course, all going to happen when he got home. There was no way his plan could fail. He would even get to see Zim cut open like a cheerleader from a slasher movie. But before that happened he needed to GET home. He sighed and started off, dragging Zims' body behind him.

ENDFLASHBACK

Dib sighed and got off the couch, he needed to do something. Maybe he would watch his Dad analyse Zims' blood. It would be something he could add to the files.

Or he could bring the files down to the lab Zim was stored in. Yes, that would be useful, plus then his dad wouldn't have to do as many tests, and he could cut Zim open sooner.
