(the camera sweeps over Zim's front yard, into his door, through the living room and kitchen and towards the toilet, rotates 90 degrees downwards and travels directly down the chute and out to the room where the battle took place in the episode "plague of babies". It's cluttered with supplies, including Irken Technology, clothing, and multiple Licky Sticks containers. Zim hurriedly packs his ship , filling a compartment underneath of the seat. Gaz enters the room and plops a backpack on the ground)
Zim: Dib-Sister! How on Earth did you escape the clutches of that hideous Earth teacher?
Gaz: Hello to you too.
Zim: ...Um... so...I... How...?
Gaz: I'm not the prisoner that she wanted, and so she released me. *smirks in a satisfactory and smug fashion, almost as if the thought of Zim's destruction pleases her* She's pretty peeved at you though. She says you're going to die tomorrow at skool.
Zim: ... oh *insert Irken swear here*.
Gaz: What is that, Japanese? Anyway, we should probably get going before she kills you. *begins to walk towards the ship*
Zim: WAIT!
Gaz: *sighs* *turns around* What now?
Zim: I have a present to give you, filthy earth monkey!
Gaz:... A present?
Zim: Yes! a present.
(Zim rushes over to one of the many scattered piles of Irken Technology)
Gaz:... well that's out of character.
(Zim pulls out a small, irken-pink box with a symbol of a female Irken with angel wings and a halo on the top. He then runs happily up to Gaz and holds out the box to Gaz with a childlike happiness. Gaz takes the box and looks at it quizzically.)
Gaz: Zim, this... it looks like one of those boxes that jewelry comes in. What...?
Zim: Open it.
(Gaz opens the box and pulls out a white (or silver?) necklace of the female Irken symbol with a silver chain. She lifts the necklace so that her face can be seen in the background. Her eyes are wide open and shimmering, and her mouth is slightly open in awe. The charm slowly rotates and glitters in the light.)
Gaz: Zim... I ... This is...
(she puts the necklace back in the box and turns to face Zim)
Gaz: This is beautiful, but... why?
Zim: You shall see, filthy human Earth worm. You shall see.
(He takes the necklace from Gaz and fastens the chain around her neck. He then takes out a vanity mirror and holds it up so that the viewer can see her head and shoulders. We can see that she is now... Irken. Her skin is now green, her eyes completely amber-red, nose and ears gone, and her hair replaced by two large, square curls of antennae that are so massive that they frame her face like her hair used to. Gaz gasps and takes the mirror from Zim's hands, staring, shocked at her altered reflection.)
Zim: surprised? I knew you would like it! I - URK!
(Zim is interrupted as Gaz's hand shoots out and grabs his neck, ready to throttle him.)
Zim: Urk- gak- uh- oi- pt- hun- wheeze- ahkhka- thhh- *and other choking noises.*
(Gaz pulls his neck so as to face her now- closed eyes in a threatening manner)
Gaz: *through clenched teeth* what... did you do... to me?
Zim: *smiles* You know, little Gaz human, you are even more attractive to Zim in this state than you are usually.
Gaz: I swear, Zim, if you do not change me back right now, then I will send you into a fiery pit of torture and pain from which there is no awakening that will make you rue the pitiful day that you were born.
Zim: Ooh, I can't wait.
Gaz: Grrr...
Zim: Do not worry, scary Dib-sister. It is only an illusion. see?
(Zim reaches towards her neck and presses the eye on her necklace like a button, and her appearance shimmers back to her human self. She notices her hand has returned to normal, tosses him to the floor, and turns away from him, arms crossed.)
Gaz: Alright, Zim. I'll let you live. For now.
Zim: *smiling deviously from the floor* Zim likes to hear that from his little Gaz-monkey.
Gaz: Don't push it.
(Zim uses his pak's spider like legs to lift himself from the ground and bring himself super close to Gaz's face. Gaz stands, shocked, and Zim smiles deviously with his eyes half-lidded)
Zim: And why shouldn't I?
(Gaz's angry expression returns as she leans forward, reaches up, and grabs one of his antennae. Zim blushes like crazy as his eyes go wide.)
Zim: What are you...?
(Gaz forcefully yanks on his antenne)
Zim:*on the ground* YYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!
Gaz: And THAT is why you don't mess with me.
Zim: *with tears in his eyes* WHY would you DO that?
Gaz: Next time, I won't be so forgiving when you annoy me.
Zim: FORGIVING? How would YOU feel if Zim harmed the most sensitive part of YOUR body? HUH?
Gaz: I wouldn't feel anything, because you would be dead before you even touch me.
Zim: Says you!
Gaz: You don't want to challenge me, Zim. The last person to do that is at this moment curled up in a little ball in the corner of his bedroom, whimpering to himself.
(cut to Iggins curled up in a little ball in the corner of his bedroom, whimpering to himself and blogging on a laptop. Cut back to Zim's base.)
Zim: Yeah, right. Zim does not believe that the puny little Dib-sister could ever dream to defeat a mighty Irken soldier such as myself.
Gaz: Ya know, Zim, you should really stop underestimating me. Though it may surprise you, I'm tougher than I look.
Zim: Yes, yes... listen, why don't we get going? I mean, the Dib-stink may not know where exactly he is going, but he has had a large head-start on his travel to Irk.
Gaz: ...Yeah, alright.
Zim: Gir! Minimoose! I require your presence in the repair bay. Come down IMMEDIATELY!
(The camera moves to the entrance for a tunnel, where Gir shoots out with his rocket feet wearing a sombrero and holding a suitcase with a toy pig strapped to it and Minimoose floats down behind him.)
Gir: I'm ready to go to Mexico!
Minimoose: *squeek!*
Zim: No, Gir, we are not going to Mexico. We are traveling to Irk to warn the tallest of the Dib-Stink's plans.
Gir: Then I'm ready to go to SPACE MEXICO!
Zim: *facepalms*
Gaz: Is he always this stupid?
Zim: WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK, PUNY EARTH HUMAN!
Gaz: I think he's almost as stupid as you are.
Zim:... YOU'RE LYING!
Minimoose: *Squeek!*
Gaz: Whatever. Let's just go already.
Zim: Oh, alright, fine. COMPUTER!
Computer: *sigh* What now?
Zim: Ready the ship for launch. We are about to begin our perilous journey to warn our leaders of the incoming Human threat.
Gir: YAY! ROAD TRIP!
Zim: Come on, Gir. Let us board the Voot cruiser.
Gir: O-kee-do-kee!
(Gir flies over to the Voot Cruiser and crashes inside, giggling insanely. Gaz picks up her backpack and shoulders it, stepping into the ship just after Minimoose floats in and settles down on the right side of the ship. Zim starts to step in, when Skoodge bursts into the room, looking panicked and alert.)
Skoodge: ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Gaz: Who's that weirdo?
Zim: Skoodge? Are you STILL living in my basement?
Skoodge: Yes.
(Insert awkward silence here)
Skoodge: Anyway, I have an emergency!
Zim: The bathroom's down the hall.
Skoodge: IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF AN EMERGENCY!
Zim: Whoa, jeez, calm down. Now, tell Zim what the problem is.
Skoodge: It's... its... *sigh* it's Tenn. She's in trouble. I saw a news article on the Intergax saying that the Invader on Meekrob had been captured, and was most likely either being examined or... or...
(Skoodge starts crying and slowly crumbles to the floor. Zim awkwardly leans forward and pats him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him but not really knowing how.)
Gaz: Crybaby.
(Zim shoots Gaz a glare, then goes back to comforting Skoodge. He eventually gathers himself together and stops crying, save for the occasional sniffle.)
Skoodge: I... I read that... last week... and...and kind of lost it. I was... brought back to my senses... when I heard that... that you were leaving... f-for Irk. Meekrob's on the way, so I... I thought that... mabie... we could save her. Please, Zim... you're my best friend... I've helped you... s-so much... please... just this one small favor... for me.
Zim: Well... I, uh... Guess we could at least try to save her...
Skoodge: (gets up and hugs Zim) Thank you.
Zim: Yeah, well... What are friends for?... Okay, that's enough. (Zim breaks the hug, but then smiles at Skoodge.) Besides, It's only one measly Human. How much trouble can he cause while we're gone?
