Yes, I'm updating again. That's because I'm bored and have no life. I've tried online gaming, but Maplestory won't work for some dumb reason. Oh, well.

Disclaimer: I do not own Invader Zim. That guy does, though. *points to Jhonen Vasquez*

Ch. 4 Stalker

Zim looked at what he had so far. It was pitiful, only a tiny amount compared to what he really needed.

It had been three days. Three days since the Tallests admitted the truth. Three days since he'd changed himself, changed GIR. Three days since Zim came up with the most wonderful plan, a plan that he wished he'd thought up long ago.

Zim also remembered what happened the day after. Dib had tried to get into his base by persuading GIR to let him in. But it didn't work. The best thing was, Zim got to watch it all from his lab. He smiled at the memory.

Dib wasn't going to bother him anytime soon.

His thoughts went back to his plan, which lay in the small pile of wires, chips, and other various things in front of him. He had found every single piece in his lab, but it was obviously not enough.

He needed more. What he had wasn't enough. He needed much, much more.

He went to his computer, searching for some of the things he needed. It didn't take long to find most of the parts required. He ordered them all, and then sighed. Then he remembered.

Skool. He was missing skool.

A part of him said it didn't matter. He was going to destroy them soon, anyway. But another part of him said he should go anyway, so the humans wouldn't get suspicious. He finally decided he would go.

The next day, Zim put his disguise on and walked to skool. It wasn't long before his PAK alerted him that someone was following him. Zim continued on, knowing who it probably was. Soon enough, the person jumped.

It happened so fast, but he catalogued every second. Suddenly, his attacker was almost on him. Then, he activated a robot arm from his PAK, which, at the last second, pushed his enemy aside. Zim whipped around the split second after, just to see a startled Dib sprawled on the ground, groaning. His eye twitched. Just what he expected.

"Exactly why are you following me now, Dib?" he sneered.

"Well, someone has to stop you from destroying Earth," Dib replied smoothly. "Which reminds me. What are you doing now, Zim? Huh? Huh? Huh? Oh, I also need proof for the Swollen Eyeball. You know, proof that you're an alien."

"Too bad you won't get your proof."

Then he left, continuing on to skool as if nothing happened.

Skool came and passed as it normally did. The kids ignored Zim, and he ignored them. The only one who didn't ignore him was Dib. Dib kept glaring at Zim, and after skool, when Zim was walking home, Dib jumped in front of him with the same handcuffs he had after Zim's first day at skool.

"You know, you're really starting to annoy me," Zim informed him. "I have better things to do than to deal with a stalker."

"I'm not a stalker!" Dib protested, but he didn't look to sure about what he said.

"This is the second time today you've attempted to attack me. Also, you've been watching me pretty much the whole day. I'm not stupid, Dib," he answered.

"Well, it won't matter when Earth is safe and your guts are strewn on an autopsy table!"

"How do you know those things will work, anyway?" asked Zim, pointing at the handcuffs.

"That's what I'm about to find out right now!" Dib replied.

Dib got closer, but as he did, Zim kicked him in his sex organs, which he learned were a human male's weakness. Dib screamed, and Zim ran.
