The Often Used Invader Zim Idea

by Emmygirl822

Twelve girls have their age differences but are closer than ever. One random night, they wake up to find themselves in the cult hit TV show, Invader Zim. Now they're really going to have to survive all the action and...make allies. And attempt not to die. But how hard can it be for twelve girls? There is strength in numbers, isn't there?

6. Bestest Friend

Chappie Six

Sha's POV
I woke up in my bed and stretched myself out. Glancing at the alarm clock, I saw it read 7:00. Wonderful.
Then I realized it was another day with Zim. Another day with Zim. I leaped out of bed so happily.
I shook Emmy awake. "EMMY!"
Emmy jolted out of her sleep. She looked around and her eyes stopped on me. "Sha?"
"Emmy, we have to get ready for skool, RIGHT NOW."
"You just want to see Ziiiim," Emmy joked.
"Yes, I do, and if you want to see GIR, you have to get up toooo," I said back to her.
Emmy climbed out of bed. "I'M WAKING EMILY!"
I laughed.
We all took quick showers, got dressed into our new signature outfits (because every person in a cartoon has one. I wore a blue graphic tee and jeans, Emmy wore a yellow tank top and black shorts, Em wore a purple shirt and blue skort, Grace had a red shirt and blue pants, Dani had a light yellow shirt on and black jeans, Mica had a green ruffled short sleeve shirt and black slacks, Alyssa wore ALL PINK, Rosa was wearing tan pants and a black shirt, Michelle's jacket, shoes, and pants were all black, Annie wore a cyan shirt and shorts of the same color, Janay wore a red and white striped spaghetti strap top and white capris, and Gina had a loose pink shirt with a red tank top showing and some dark blue shorts. We all looked SO cute!) and ate a quick breakfast of cereal. Then we all walked together, to skool, in groups.
When we arrived at skool, I sat in my seat next to Zim.
"Hey, Zim. I just want to tell you, I'm your friend!" I said to him enthusiastically.
"Friend?" Zim asked.
"Yup, friend. Someone you can always lean on; someone you can always turn to when you need help. " I patted him on the back. He reached out to probably stop me when Ms. Bitters walked in to start the lesson.
I winked at Zim.
Later at lunch, Jessica came to us.
"How would you like me and my friends to turn you losers into gals like US?" she asked, as if we were about to win the lottery.
"No thank you," we all said in unison. Then we walked away, leaving her dumbfounded.
We took seats at an empty table...next to those horrible rejects like Gretchen, and Keef. In fact, Keef walked over to us.
"HI! MY NAME IS KEEF! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" he asked.
"Did you have too much coffee?" Michelle retorted. "Like Tweek?"
Janay and Lyssa laughed.
"I LOVE COFFEE!" Keef yelled excitedly.
I gave Keef an evil glare. He seemed scared all of a sudden, and backed away to the rejects' table.
My friends high-fived me.
I glanced at the table not too far away from us. Zim was sniffing a single pea. I sighed dreamily. Big Moose Kid slipped on some mashed potatoes and used Zim's head to balance, but this smashed Zim's head into the tray.
"HEY!" I yelled to Big Moose Kid as Zim screamed and started spasming. "DON'T EVER DO THAT TO HIM AGAIN!"
Big Moose Kid winked at me...EW did he think I was cute?
I didn't get any thanks from Zim, yet again, but when we're dating...he'll be grateful. YAY.
Suddenly Grace saw that Dib was sitting with Gaz. "Uh, guys, I'm gonna go sit with Dib...Is that okay?"
"Sure!" we all said, even me.
Grace left and took a seat besides Dib. Dib smiled at her. They were becoming quite friendly.
"That new kid's a freak. I think his name is Zip or something," we could hear Jessica say. I was pissed.
I saw Zim listening in.
"He's been here long enough to at least make some loser friends, like the creepy kid Dib. And his new best friend, Grace or something."
Grace and Dib were now listening and Grace looked like she was resisting an urge to curse at Jessica.
"Or those rejects in the corner." We looked over at Keef, Melvin, Dirge, Gretchen, and Matthew, wincing.
"But look at him, all by himself, I mean what kind of kid doesn't have any friends? It's so inhuman!"
Now, Zim was worried. He gasped.
"ZIM HAS A-" I started, but when all the kids looked at me, I became passive and sat down.
He looked around. Lizard Boy giving two kids a cupcake (which made me think of Emmy and GIR). Zooglodon and Rob sharing a lollipop. Mary and a kid passing a ball. Penny and Olivia spelling out "friends" in string. He looked over at Grace, who was watching Gaz play her Game Slave and talking to Dib. Even Dib had a friend apparently. And finally he looked at the eleven of us. Emmy and Emily talking about Little Shop of Horrors, singing "Feed Me", trying to convince Rosa to watch the movie. Dani and Annie talking about their South Park crushes. Janay, Michelle, and Alyssa were playing some game I'd rather not know. And Mica and Gina drawing a picture together. I was looking over Mica's shoulder. We were all friendly. Zim probably wanted one. It could be me! But...what if he rejected me? I couldn't take the chance.

Grace's POV
"I'm looking for a friend. Would you be-" Zim started to ask Dirge at the table near us.
" I was born with webbed fish toes... like some kind of horrible fish boy. Wanna see?" Dirge responded.
"Look at Zim," Dib said to me. "He's actually trying to find a friend to prove he's human. Can you believe it?"
"Sure I can." I took a bite of my sandwich. "I may have known this alien since yesterday, but from what I see, it seems likely he'd do it."
I'd told Dib about everything that happened at Zim's. Dib had sworn not to mention a thing to Zim about me telling him. That's what friends were for. At least, that's what Dib told me himself.
Wow. He actually considered me a friend. Because I wasn't like those crazy fan-girls in real life. I was a real lucky person.
Zim backed away and approached Matthew. "Would you-"
Matthew screamed and ran away. What an idiot!
"Squealy fools! These human filthies should be honored to even be considered as possible friends of Zim!" Zim looked at Gretchen, Melvin, and Keef.
"Who among you feels they are worthy enough to be my best friend?" he asked. They smiled, but he didn't notice Sha was smiling too.
"Good. I have devised some simple tests to determine who is the worthiest," Zim explained. "And I need an assistant...SHA-HUMAN!"
Sha stood up. "Yes Zim?"
"As a...reward for...defending me from that stinky moose kid, you are going to be helping Zim!"
Sha glowed. "REALLY?! YES!" I was so happy for her.
"This should be interesting," Dib said. He took out a camera. "Just in case."
Zim directed Sha towards Gretchen and said something to her...testing her I guess?
He poured some milk on the table. "We begin by testing your absorbency."
"You're kidding right?" I murmured under my breath.
Sha rubbed Gretchen's head in the milk, while Zim did Melvin and Keef. Keef was the one that absorbed all the milk.
"...Ew." Dib snapped a picture.
" Next, we test your electrical conductivity." Zim held out two rods with electricity between them.
After they tested their respective people, only Keef was unaffected.
"And now, the final test." Zim pulled out a beaver and toy taxi behind his back.
"Are you afraid?" he challenged Sha. She simply shook her head.
After time passed...Gretchen and Melvin were burnt to a crisp, and Keef was the total opposite.
"Thank you...Sha-hyooman, my slave." Zim waved Sha off to the girls' table. Then he went to Keef. "We have a winner! What is your name, friend?"
"My name's Keef! Wow, I've never won anything before! I promise I'll be the best, most loyal friend ever!" Keef hugged Zim and his eyes watered. "I'm so happy."
"Don't touch me." Zim pushed Keef away.
"Wow, Dib, Zim is really pathetic," I said to him. "He'd actually try to be friends with Keef."
"Grace, Zim, is TOTALLY pathetic and we need to prove he's an alien, but so many people in this town are idiots."
"You better not be talking about me, Dib, or else you'll wish you hadn't met Grace," Gaz said, not looking up from her Game Slave. Okay, now, I was scared.

Rosa's POV
"I'd like you all to meet Keef," Zim said to us at our table. I yawned. "He's my best friend."
"We care about this...why?" Emmy asked.
"Because he's my best friend!" Zim repeated.
"Sha's a way better best friend for you than him," Mica said.
"Better than Keef? He is the most worthy! How could SHE be better?"
Sha blushed a bit.
"Because she's, um, NOT A STALKER?!" Emmy said, stretching out her last words.
"You guys came in to this place on the same day as me. How could you possibly know what this...Keef is like?"
"I'm surprised you're not saying Keef-human," Gina said. Mica nodded her agreement.
Keef then started running to me-THEN HE SQUEEZED ME. I could barely breathe. "He's" *choke* "suffocating" *choke* "ME."
"Let go of the...Riley-human or whatever her name is, Keef," Zim ordered in a very bored tone.
"It's ROSA." I pushed Keef off of me and turned away from those two best friends.
Yeah, I couldn't care less.
Sha could though.
Later at recess I watched Zim and Keef play tetherball against Zooglodon. Out of entertainment, we all knocked Keef over after him and Zim's victory dance.
Then, art class time. I sat with Emily, Grace, and Emmy. We all started making Angry Birds out of clay and Emmy carved "Bird number 69" in, just to choose a random number. Zim walked over to us and showed us a picture of him and Keef.
"That looks like a five year old drew it!" Grace commented on the picture.
"Be quiet Grace-human! I never asked for your opinion!" Zim was aggravated.
"Sure you did." Grace gave Zim a sardonic smile.
Keef skipped over to us. It was getting on my nerves. He showed us a really weird picture of him and Zim...then he went and freaked Emmy out by embracing her this time. It took Emily and me to help get him off of her. She claimed herself to be weak...which she might be, how would I know?
Later, as the day ended, the two best friends swaggered down the hallway, giving free smiles, waves, and thumbs ups to everyone; it was unlike Zim, but Sha reached out her hand anyway-Zim just smiled at her. Sha melted-practically.
What an interesting day!

Dani's POV
"And then tomorrow there's the circus! We can go to the circus, I love the circus! You wanna go to the circus, Zim?" We were walking to our houses with Keef and Zim, but instead of going home, we wanted to go to Zim's house. It should be pretty epic!
As we stood in front of our houses, Zim started speaking very fast to Keef. "I want to congratulate you, Keef, on a job well done. You have been a most convincing friend, but now that the world seems satisfied with my knack for companionship, I don't think I'll be requiring your services any longer. Our mission together is done, good job soldier." Zim saluted. "Be gone with you."
Zim and our group ran inside and almost closed the door-almost had a close call-when Keef had to open his big mouth again. "Hey, you got any video games?"
"Yes," Zim replied curtly. Keef just stood there. Finally, Zim shut the door and we saw GIR, watching the Scary Monkey Show. "EMMY!" GIR yelled when he saw her.
When Emmy heard her name, she raced towards the couch and sat down next to him.
"A job well done," Zim praised himself. Next thing we knew, we were looking at a messed up drawing of Zim and Keef saying "Bestest friends" on it. The phone rang and Zim answered. "Hello?...Keef? I told you I do not require your-..." The phone beeped. "Hold on, I've got another call. Hello?..." Zim, looking scared out of his mind, pulled the phone off the wall.
Then he looked out of the window and saw Keef riding his bike. We all looked over his shoulder (Sha did, literally) and noticed Keef was coming from the same direction...I felt a chill pass through me.
"GIR!" Zim yelled.
GIR, who was on the ceiling, holding Emmy (I don't know how) dropped onto the floor with her. There was not a single mark on Emmy. GIR's blue body parts turned to red. "Yes, my master."
"GIR, I'm going down to the lab, do not let anyone into the house!"
GIR helped Emmy up, stood up as well, and saluted. "Yes sir!"
"Sha-human, please come with me." Zim sighed annoyedly. Sha happily flushed herself down with Zim.
We all left the house, except for Lyssa and Janay and Emmy.

Alyssa's POV
The doorbell rang-A SUPRISE!
"Leprechauns!" GIR performed a bunch of epic fighting stances and ran to answer the door. Emmy walked up to the door with him.
They turned the knob together. AWWW!
I didn't know Sha and Zim were laying down together-Zim said he needed some company other than GIR, and I guess Sha was the most decent to him.
Everything was okee that night. Emmy and GIR slept on the couch and awoke early to help the guest make waffles, whoever he was!
I left with Janay and went to sleep, but when we came back, Zim and Sha were staring at GIR and Emmy, sharing a plate of waffles and Keef cooking on the stove.
"Hey Zim! You showed up just in time for the waffles!" Keef cheerfully said.
Sha grabbed ahold of the skillet, and hit Keef in the face with it.
"Get out of my house! I told you you're fired!" Zim growled.
"You don't like waffles?" Keef said, unaffected by the pain. He took the skillet back.
Sha and Zim pushed Keef towards the door. "Out, out, out, out!" Zim said.
"Oh, we can walk to skool together!" Keef suggested.
"I'm sick. I'm not going to skool today and neither is Sha-human." Sha looked wide awake at this part.
I watched GIR and Emmy and Keef talk. Emmy slapped Keef, before taking an applauding GIR back inside. She hugged him and linked arms with me. We skipped out the door with Janay.
During lunch, Keef came around and passed out invitations. I whacked him with mine, which I accepted. It wasn't a BIG DEAL ANYWAY! I'd been over Zim's plenty of times! Everyone else took one too!
After skool, I was on the couch with my friends, except for Sha and Emmy. Sha was with Zim, sitting on the top of the couch and the door opened, with Emmy and GIR carrying a bag of party stuff together. Zim and Sha stared at them. Scared, Emmy struggled to hide it and they attempted to put the bag on the table. It didn't work; the bag tipped over.
"What are you doing, guys?" I could hear Zim ask suspiciously.
"Nothing," Emmy and GIR said together.
"Nothing...or something?" Sha looked them both in the eyes.
"Oh, I can't take it, you're too smart for me." GIR removed his costume off, partly and I could see from the room I was in. I noticed it was like a little hood for him. "Keef is planning a surprise party for after skool. He gonna bring all the kids because he loves you!" He pounded the floor. "That boy loves you so much!" He stopped and was happy again. "Emmy and I are makin' the cake!" They skipped off happily.
"He's bringing all the children to our secret lair?! Do you realize what this means?" Zim asked.
Emmy was holding GIR's hands, helping him stir a bowl of cake batter. "Yes," GIR said. "Wait a minute...no."
I chuckled with Janay and Emily and Michelle.
"It means our mission is in jeopardy!"
" Aw, man!" GIR said. He and Emmy hummed in a WEIRD harmony as they stirred.
" Something must be done about this Keef! If he succeeds the whole population of Earth will show up on our doorstep!" Zim said.
"Aww, Zim, it might not happen..." Sha reassured him.
He was unconvinced. I LIKE COOKIES!

Annie's POV
GIR and Emmy were still making the cake and were now singing "The Doom Song" again. Zim and Sha were in the base and the rest of us were still on the couch. NO HOMEWORK!
Grace was telling us about what Dib was really like; sweet and normal. Sha would say otherwise; he was crazy, but he wasn't. He was...right. These were Grace's words, not mine.
We could see Keef running towards Zim's house and opening the door. "Hey Zim! I'm home!"
We all headed into the kitchen and looked at Zim. He was in disguise and holding a present, a fake smile plastered onto his face.
"For me? Oh, you are my bestest friend! Thank you, Zim!" Keef grabbed the gift and next thing we all knew, Keef's eyes were being yanked out by two mechanical arms. They replaced them with new eyes...one's with red pupils.
"Keef?" Zim asked.
"Yes?" Keef was hypnotized.
"Who's your best friend?"
"That would be Zim. Today, he got me-"
"Silence! When I snap my fingers, the next living thing you see you will believe to be your best friend."
"I like Zim."
"Who doesn't?" Sha whispered to me.
"Meeee," I joked.
"I know you do... but pay attention!" Zim continued. He raised himself to the ceiling, out of Keef's view. We all ducked lower. Zim's fingers gave off a small snap. Keef was out of hypnotic state. "What happened?" He went back into the state again and saw a squirrel. It looked like Zim to him.
"Zim? How'd you get out there!? Hey, wait up! I have a surprise for you!" Keef ran out of the house. Zim's legs from his Pak were almost going to break, and he fell to the ground.
"You okay, Zim?" Sha asked.
"Sure, Sha-human. But I think I learned something...such as that Keef-hyooman is a stalker and if I had to choose a real FRIEND it would be you. I can't believe I just said that. I need to go to bed." He walked off to flush himself down the toilet to his base.
We had to carry Sha home eventually
