"Thanks Zim... If anyone asks I beat you into doing this for me." Gaz looked at the green boy infront of her as she was preparing to leave.

"I already forged doctor's documents from the 'beating'" Zim smiled in a joking manner."Do you need help finding your way out?"

"Nope. That's one of the things that makes me scary, I always know how to enter and leave. You know if you ever need help with any of your 'evil' plans to take over Earth I'd be happy to help."

"Really? Not that I have any plans, but you'd really sell out your own planet?" Zim asked a little surprised.

"yeah... you lived here long enough to know Earth sucks." She shrugged."maybe we can go to the arcade again sometime, I'll pay." Gaz offered walking out the room.

'What a woman..' Zim thought as she dissapeared. Now we all heard Gaz just say "Earth sucks" and"you're fun at arcade games." But Zim heard "I love you, Zim with every fiber of my being, and will wait on you hand and foot as your sex slave. We shall rule Earth and play many games together to symbolize our union. I shall bear you many, many smeets as proof of the hot, hot love we shall make."

For the next hour Zim danced around the base singing "what a man what a mighty strong man"? O.o I did not write that but oh well, He was singing and dancing in circles around the tallests till finally Red knocked him out with a tofu-meatloaf.

"I think we need to put zim on medication, like ridilan or something." He said looking at his partner.

"YAY, HAPPY SKITTLES!" Gir screamed before exploding with pills.

Dib was all set, he had a bed mad on the couch, popcorn, 3 bowls of different assorted candy, pizza, ice cream, and a 2 litter of diet-poop. He had a boyish figure he needed to matain. There was a looney tunes marathon on and not even Gaz was going to chase him out. As long as she didn't ask what he was watching. At the mention of the scary teen, he heard the front door unlock and he quickly changed the channel to mysterious mysteries.

"Hey, Gaz... Just watching TV." Dib said non-chalantly.

"Oh... what episode is it tonight, big-foot or why bugs bunny does drag so much?" She smirked as Dib sighed and changed the channel back. "Dib, I want you to meet someone..." Gaz called out the door for Spike, bringing the reptilian creature to her side.

"Oh my God... it's Yoshi! Do you have Mario and Luigi outside too?" Dib started to laugh before a small hand smacked him upside his large head.

"Yoshi was cute... Spike is a fearsome predator created by science, unleashing her wrath on those who played God while flaunting her existance in front of those who fear her. Aren't you, baby?" Gaz cooed to the lizard-dinosaur-pet thing. Spike held her head high, proud of what her mistress thought of her.

"Yeah... I'm not even going to ask how you got her here when the TV just announced she was put dow..." The doorbell interuppted Dib from his mindless rumbling as the door-cam showed the professor at the door.

"Gaz, hide Spike,I'll let Dad in." Dib said trying to act calm when in his mind he was saying "crapcrapcrapcrapcrapitycrap-crap on a crap cracker!" He barely got the door open when the professor invited himself in.

Dib has not talked to his father in two years. He already knew what he want to do with his life since he was a toddler. Yet his father wanted him to be a carbon copy of himelf, and he took any differences as a sign of insanity. Years of neglect and mental abuse took their toll, and when Dib turn 18 he moved out. And though Gaz brought him a lifetime or fear, he was releived when she moved in with him. She had it worse than he did. He got more attention for being a son, while she broke her neck to get noticed. He'll never forget the look in her eyes when their father forgot her 16th birthday earlier that year. It hurt him as well.

"Daughter. The experiment has been put down today." Gaz surpressed her smile knowing Zim's plan worked. "You can stop this foolishness now." Pro. Membrane said sternly.

"Let's see, you made me take job I didn't want, used my pet for a genetic experiment, replaced ME, your daughter, then killed Spike for your stupidess. I think I can be foolish for a little bit longer." She spat crossing her arms.

"You are bringing disgrace to the family name...You're just going thorugh a phase, Daughter."

"Disgrace? What's disgracful is you don't know your children's name, and you only focused on Dib to be a scientist. Why did you not try with me?"

"Science is a respectful career, no place for littles girls.!" He lectured waving his finger.

"And what is my place? Making dinner and waiting for you to come home, waiting for weeks? Venom laced her words as tears formed in her eyes. Her father raised his hand and she shut her eyes bracing for the impact and when it didn't come she looked to see Dib holding back his father's fist

"Not in my house... and remember, I can plead insanity." Dib threatened his father looking him in the eye.

"*sigh* I anticipated this.." Dib closed his eyes ready for a tranq-dart, only to have papers thrusted upon him. "Sign those and send them to my office when you're done. Now excuse me, I'm on the verge of a cure for burnt toast!" He said leaving his offspring in the wake of another childhood trauma.

"What is it?" Gaz asked her brother trying to hide tears.

"Adoption papers... If I sign I have complete custody over you." Dib looked down not wanting to see the hurt expression on his sister's face

"Are you... are you going to sign?"

"Only if you want me to."

"I don't care, do what you want. But I'm not going back again." She said trying to gather herself.

"Hey, How about we'll deal with these in the morning and tonight we go into a comatose state in front of the TV. I'll even let you choose what to watch..." Dib coaxed his sister trying to lighten the tension.

"Killer Klowns from Outerspace?" She looked up hopefully.

"Those horrible clowns... alright." Dib agreed though he grimaced on the inside.

Gaz quickly jumped in the shower, and was later joined by Spike thinking her mistress needed help and attacked the lufa-sponge. She picked out the most comfortable pajamas and jumped on the couch and was jumped on by Spike,leaving Dib on the floor. She and her pet fell asleep halfway into killer klowns with Spike hugging the rubber piggy Gir gave her. Dib looked at the scene. His sister looked so content. The image flashed in his mind of her waiting at home with dinner set out tugged at him. This might be the only thing their father did right. Dib signed the papers and vowed his baby sister would never be waiting alone again.
