//Let's just forget about the who Act thing

(The stage is dark. Smoke begins to bellow in and with a sudden pounding flare of music lasers begin to dance around in a brilliant display. Dozens of opera people arrive and begin to dance, all decked out in nifty costumes and festive masks. Red and Purple arrive. Red is dressed as a pirate and Purple is a skeleton - they still have the monocles. *notice all these seem to start with them - completely unintentional, I swear*)

Red: We have outdone ourselves! What a great party! (begins to jig) We are SO almighty!

Purple: Hm-mm (he is somewhat distracted, as he is using his monocle as a yo-yo. A sneaky grin spreads across Red's face and he tries to grab the monocle, but Purple pulls it up just in time.) Ha!

Red: (pouty) Well, the party was MY idea.

Purple: (leaning up to Red seductively before he snatches up a nacho) And what a splendid party! Quite a night, I confess.

Red: (proudly) Well, one does one's best! Here's to us! (two brainfreezies come from nowhere and they tap them together before each taking a mighty slurp) It's too bad that (wiggles the claws on one claw) phantom person isn't here! (Red and Purple walk off somewhere.)

(enter Dib and Gaz. Gaz had flatly refused to wear a costume, and didn't really want to come, but it was required of the crew. She concentrated on her GS2. Dib didn't wear much of a costume, only a little black mask he'd put on at the last minute. Come to think of it, him wearing that black trench coat, having black hair, and now the mask, he must look somewhat like Zorro.)

Dib: I just know Zim's going to show up! I just know it!

Gaz: Will you shut up?

Dib: (rolls his eyes and decided to change the subject) So, you promise to come back home if I buy you this new - what was it called?

Gaz: (growling) Vampire Piggy Hunter Ultra Gold III. I need it.

Dib: Yeah, that and I don't eat the soda - and what else?

Gaz: A car.

Dib: I car! You aren't even old enough to drive!

Gaz: Oh, I will be... (mind she is still playing her GS2)

Dib: (giving her a strange look) Okaaay...

(the music suddenly becomes ominous as a figure clad entirely in red descends on the party. It's Zim, wearing a red suit thing with a red cloak. On the back of his cloak it reads in yellow letters 'Do not touch me, I am the Red Death.*' Everyone screams as he runs past. Once he is gone people start looking at eachother, very confused.)

Tak: (costumed as an Invader, of course) How DARE he ruin the party celebrating MY glorious return to the stage! I will make him PAY! It won't be revenge, mind, but he will pay!

Gaz: (glancing around for a moment) No one will notice if I leave now, right? (she walks off, still playing her game.)

(Just then a random stage hand is hung from the ceiling. He's been choked to death, and everyone is aghast. Zim's laughter is heard.)

Zim: That's what you get for not obeying the might order of the PHANTOM!

Red: (turning to Purple) This isn't good.

Purple: No, not good.

(Dib runs off in search of Zim the Phantom.)

(Change of scene: Gaz is sitting in her dressing room, playing away at her game. The mirror is still broken and you see Zim delicately step into the room, avoiding the many shards of glass. He's back to his other outfit.)

Zim: (smugly) Wishing I were somehow here again?

Gaz: (annoyed that someone is interrupted her again) No.

Zim: Er, well, you should be! (He runs up to her, picks her up, and runs back into the mirror. Dib runs in, sees Gaz's GS2 on the floor, and he chases after them. *things are going to get a little more Phantom-like from here on, so please excuse any OOCidness*)

(Scene changes to the underground lair. Zim puts Gaz down. She is pissed.)

Zim: You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge! In pursuit of that which is silent. SILENT! BWA HA HA!

Gaz: (shaking a fist as she slowly approaches) I didn't come here - you took me here. I am so going to throw you into a world of horrible suffering and pain.

Zim: (now looking a bit intimidated, backing away.) We are past the point of no return! (as if this is a plea to keep her from harming him.) Past the point of no return! The games we've played 'till now are at an END!

Gaz: (looking very scary and mad.) We're past the point of no return alright -

(Zim is saved as Dib runs into the lair.)

Zim: (supremely pleased and relieved, as Dib is blocking Gaz's way. He begins to walk around Dib in a menacing fashion.) Wait - I think my dear we have a guest! Sir, this is indeed and unparalleled delight. I had rather hoped that you would come. And now my wish comes true - you have surely made my night!

Dib: Free her you alien SCUM!

Zim: (to Gaz) You're stink-brother makes a passionate plea.

Gaz: (seething, fists still clenched, ready to attack.) (to herself) He won't be the only one passionate..........

Dib: Gaz! Gaz! Let me see her!

Zim: Be my guest, Sir. (points behind Dib) She's right over there.

(When Dib turns around to make sure his sister is alright, Zim gets a rope out of nowhere and lassoes him around the neck as if to hang him. How cool is that!)

Dib: (confused) Where did you learn to do THAT?

Zim: Pitiful Earth-worm! Do not question the AMAZING abilities of ZIM! (composes himself) Monsieur, I bid you welcome. Did you think that I would harm her? Why should I make her pay for the sins which are YOURS! YOU FILTHY HUUUMAN! Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes, ROTTEN STINK BEAST!

Dib: (still looking confused, but disgruntled at being caught) Why should I do that?

Zim: (shrugs, making a sound to the tone of 'I don't know.')

Gaz: (thinking to herself) I can make Zim pay now for abducting me, but then he won't kill my brother - Hmmm.... I think I'll wait. Just this once.

Dib: What do you want, ZIM? Are you using my sister in a plan for world conquest?

Zim: Hardly, you idiotic stickbeast!

Dib: Are you trying to get back at your Tallest for sending you on a bogus mission?

Zim: Wrong again, you worthless human!

Dib: (now thinking hard) He certainly couldn't just want to get under my sister's skirt, could he?

Zim: (losing his temper) REPULSIVE HUMAN! You don't know what you're talking about! Filthy (begins kicking and clawing at the air) nya! uh! grrrr!

Dib: (wide eyed) So you ARE after my sister!

(this latest twist has caused Gaz to forget about Zim killing her brother - she can do the job very well herself. She proceeds to attack both - a cloud 'fighting dust' being kicked up in the air. When the dust clears Dib and Zim are beaten and bruised, tied together with the rope that was hanging on Dib's neck all this time. She brushes herself off and begins to stalk away.)

THE END

* The Red Death costume thing is actually in the novel, but I think it's great. Anyone know that poem?
