Alright, so here is chapter four. I've changed my mind about the names for the alternate dimension Dib and Zim. I'm only gonna use the 'Alternate' part when both Dibs/Zims are present. So try to keep the characters straight in your mind. Otherwise it will get very confusing.
But in any case, thank you to those that have reviewed! I think I'm gonna try to keep to a weekly update schedule. As long as I can avoid writers block and stay ahead by a few chapters every update, it shouldn't be too hard. XD Let's cross our fingers! Oh, and Gir is kinda smarter in the alternate dimension. I know most of you don't read these things, but I still feel better writing it down.
Faves, reviews, and watches are muchly appreciated!
~ENJOY~

Zim placed all of the items he stole from Dib onto a table. Looking through them, he decided to focus on a picture of a woman. Judging by her appearance, Zim concluded that the woman was Dib's mother. He placed the picture next to a machine. Since Irkens reproduce by cloning Zim had no idea how significant a mother was in a child's life, but Zim did know that this woman was important to Dib. He had plans to use this weakness against him.

Zim looked into the portal. An image began to form, just the image he wanted to see. It was the Dib from his dimension talking with the Zim and Dib from the parallel one. Zim turned his gaze toward the ceiling. "Computer! I want to hear what they are saying. Activate the spy bugs I planted in the alternate dimension's Dib's house!"

"Spy bugs activated." Said the monotone voice.

Zim looked back at the portal, the voices finally coming in. The alternate dimension's Dib was speaking.

"We should probably build something so you can see into your dimension first. That way you can figure out if Zim is ready to kill you or not."

Dib spoke this time, slightly rolling his eyes. "That's a good idea, but I think Zim will still kill me regardless if he has a suitable way or not."

"True," Zim's alternate agreed, "but that just means we'll just have to help you get ready to kill him. It's a little weird... I'm technically telling you to kill me." They all laugh.

Zim watched them. So Dib was planning on coming back, huh? Well Zim would make sure to get rid of him before then. Turning off the portal and spy bugs, Zim went to work on creating a machine even more amazing than the portal device.

~oOo~

Dib smiled at the alternate Zim. "Don't say it like that. You're nice. Why would I ever kill someone who was nice to me? Besides, the Zim from my dimension is just pure evil and insanity. It doesn't matter if you two are technically the same person, because you are nothing alike."

Zim blushed a bit. "W-well thanks!"

Alternate Dib glared at Dib a bit. He didn't like how Dib and his Zim were getting along. Shaking the thought off, he said "Why don't we let you enjoy our world a little while before you go home? This world is much better. And I think you may like meeting Zim's leaders."

Zim's face lit up. "You guys get something to eat. I'm going to set up an appointment with the Tallest. I'm sure after hearing about my alternate's encounter with us they'd love to meet you!"

Dib looked confused. "They already know about Zim? Word must travel fast here."

Alternate Dib nodded. "Zim is a very high ranked soldier. It's his job to monitor Earth and inform the Tallest whenever something interesting or dangerous happens."

Dib looked wide eyed at Zim. "Wow. The Zim from my dimension is just a moronic bastard that was banished to live on Earth for eternity because he was super annoying."

Zim laughed at that. "Well, I'd better go to my base so I can make the call. You guys go ahead and have some fun. I'll meet you in the food court at the mall for dinner."

Both Dib's nodded, following Zim out the door. Alternate Dib gave Zim a good-bye kiss, then lead Dib to the mall. Zim watched them as they left, then headed to his base.

Zim entered his base, and was happily greeted by his SIR unit. "Welcome home Master!" Gir cheered.

Zim smiled. "Hello Gir. How has your day been?"

Gir followed Zim down to the lab. "My day's been good. I really just watched TV all day." Gir shrugged.

Zim patted the robot on its head. "Why don't you go wait for me upstairs? I'm going to go to the mall after I speak with the Tallest'."

Momentarily in duty mode, Gir salutes Zim. "Yes, my master!" He then leaves with a smile.

Zim turns to a screen. "Computer, would you call the Tallest?"

"Of course." The computer said no sarcasm in its voice unlike its alternate in the parallel universe.

Zim waited patiently for the call to reach the Massive. He saluted when the Tallest appeared on the screen.

"Another call so soon Zim?" Red asked, smirking.

Zim smiled. "Sorry to disturb you. You know that parallel universe I was telling you about? And how my alternate being came here asking for my help in destroying its universe? Well, he's trapped Dib's alternate here. This alternate Dib says that he's only here until the other Zim finds a suitable way to kill him." Zim's face turned grim.

Purple rubbed his chin, thinking this over. "We must make sure that never happens. Red, what do you think?"

Red was looking at the ground, trying to imagine a Zim so cruel and evil. "I think he must be stopped. Permanently."

"I agree. Shall we continue this conversation later Zim? Red and I were in the middle of something" Purple looked at Red mischievously.

Zim smiled. "Of course my Tallest." Zim bowed, then snickered as he shut off the transmission. "My Tallest and their 'extracurricular activities'..."

Now upstairs, Zim headed out the door with Gir.

~oOo~

Dib and Alternate Dib were in the food court waiting for Zim. Dib was eating a cheeseburger and Alternate Dib was eating a soft serve ice cream cone.

Seeing Zim walking up Alternate Dib ran to him, pulling him into a tight hug. "You want to share the rest of my ice cream?"

Zim takes the ice cream cone from his hands, licking it. "I know not of this share that you speak of." He grins back at Alternate Dib.

Chuckling, Dib looks at the alien with the ice cream. "I just can't get over how different you two are. You and the Zim from my dimension I mean." He takes a bite of his burger; swallows. "Why aren't my alternate and I as different?"

Zim sits down in between the two Dibs. "My theory is that there are many different dimensions parallel to ours. In this one you aren't different, but maybe in another the situation is exactly the same as in your universe, just the roles are reversed." He licks the ice cream again.

Dib nods his head. "So what you're saying is that in another universe it's possible that humans are some advanced race and I was sent to take over Irk?"

Zim smirked, showing Dib was right on the dot. "Precisely. Now, if my alternate from your universe finds out about this."

"He could use it to find out the humans weaknesses and kill me off." Dib finished for him.

Alternate Dib looked at them both. "So what you're saying is that we need to kill this other Zim before he finds out about the other alternate universes and finds out how to get to them?"

Zim nodded. "That is exactly what we need to do."

~oOo~

Meanwhile, watching them through his spy bugs in the original universe, Zim smiles victoriously. "Oh, but I already know about the alternate universes. Well, now. All thanks to you." Zim proceeds to laugh like an insane maniac, sure that his success was guaranteed. All he needed to do was alter his portal device to transport to the other universes.

I'm only going to be doing about 10 chapters. That's the plan. Because I want to finish this one before I go on to writing a much bigger fic. I'm actually taking the time to write an outline for this new story. This new one I plan on making 15-30 chapters. Depends on where I take it, how good reviewers think it is, and if I want to split it into two different stories. If I split it, each part it will only be about 10-20 chapters. But yeah... Look out for that after this story!

And I am currently working on a story that for once isn't fanfiction. THANK YOU PEANUT BUTTER I HAVE FINALLY COME UP WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL! It is a lesbian human/alien love story. It has some mature content in it, but not too bad I don't think. I'm 15 and anti-social. It can't be that bad. But once I feel it's ready for the internet, you will be able to find a link to it on my page. Most likely it will be posted on deviantART.

Anywho, thanks for reading!
