I Do not own Invader Zim
I think it is a great show and I mean it no disrespect
Truth be told I am actually slightly embarrassed about posting this up.
This is one of my earlier plot bunnies that I made when I was still in my rabid fan girl stage for this show.
I got the idea of writing this after a event at a camp I went to. The group I was assigned had a guy that looked just like someone I knew from back home. I was weird for the first week.
I also had other doppelganger related ideas in my head when writing this.
"When you see your doppelganger, it is a omen that you will die"
"Somewhere out there in the world, there is someone that looks exactly like you, yet is unrelated to you. the chances of meeting them in your lifetime is less than 1%"
I also based these stories on some fan theories, mainly but not limited to:
"Dib is a clone"
Then I had a wacky idea of my own which I included into this story:
"Professor Membrane was embarrassed by what a failure Dib is and plans to replace him. That's why the Professor is never home!"

NO ROMANCE!
It's a normal day in Anywhere, USA (or wherever urban city area that the show takes place in) for Invader Zim cast. The Skool gets a transfer student by the name Ale V. Rancher. Ale comes from a family that runs an herb shop and has moved here for better business. Alv decides to sit next to Dib. Dib can't help but notice that Ale keeps staring at him. At lunch Ale confronts Dib and asks if he's heard of this theory where every person has another person that looks exactly like them but the chances of them meeting is less than 1%. Ale explains that there is a person in the place where he just came from that looks, sounds, and walks exactly like him. Dib is surprised by this and they become friends.
Ale loves history as much as he loves herbs and plants. Ale also studies the paranormal but looks into finding smaller things based on urban legends and myths such as rare lesser known creatures such as (mostly) parasites and plant species. Ale has his own thing he's trying to expose just like Dib is trying to expose Zim. Ale has given his enemy the name of Coatl 'Coal' Tlacotl, means Serpent of the Earth in Aztec. Coal is a rare type of heart worm that is an intelligent parasite that jumps from person to person, feeding off of their body and controls it. It is actually called the Aztec Devil Worm. They were worshipped back in the days before Columbus discovered the Americas. When the Conquistadors came, the people hid every trace of these creatures so the foreigners wouldn't gain their power. Coal has jumped from person to person till he ended up in the city Ale was previously staying in. Ale had found out about this and is determined to put a stop to Coal's eating habit. Unfortunately, Ale's latest attempt to stop him turned out pretty badly. Ale had serious life threatening wound in his chest and Coal was left exposed without a host.
They go back to Dib's house. Dib spends time in his room mentally taking in what he learned today. Through the story, Dib learns if he doesn't get his act together and study science like his dad, he will be recycled. He goes to Brainzyville to find out more about his twin. Eventually, Bid catches on that he is being stalked. Later in the story, he will find out about who Dib is and what he himself is.
Later, Ale and Dib accidently smashes some of Gazlene's security toys and have to find new parts so they won't have to feel her wrath later. Unfortunately, they have to go out of town to Professor Membrane's Robotics and Other Tech. Convention that so happens to be in Brainzyville for a lot of these things. Ale, Gaz, and Dib ride the train there. Since the entrance fee is expensive despite children getting in free. Dib goes in with a stolen scientist's ID that Ale had snatched and uses the excuse of having dwarfism to explain his height. Ale goes in as a prototype android suit that Dib had made. While inside, Gary 'Gretel' Walter is showing off his mecha to a crowd of scientists and bumps another person's prototype over but Ale catches it before it hits the ground.
In this one Dib already knows that he is a clone of Professor Membrane but his twin does not. Membrane made two clones from the start and had them raised in different environments. Dib was raised in a bad side of the city while Bid lived comfortably in the better side. Membrane spent more time with Bid since he shared the same passion for science while Dib grew up neglected and rarely ever saw Membrane. Membrane took great effort into making sure that neither son knew about each other. Alexander finds out a horrible demise waiting for Dib. The day Dib ends elementary school, his father plans to 'recycle' him and put Gaz up for foster care. After hearing this, Gaz more than willingly lends a hand every now and then. For this story, the twin's name is Bid, Dib's name spelled backwards.
I'm not as embarrassed of posting this next one up

As Dib has his obsession to expose the paranormal to the world and prove his worth.
Elsewhere in a different state and city, someone of the same appearance as Dib is dealing with his own obsession. Bid B. Vain is a brilliant mind (robotics and etc.) just like his father (Doctor Artery Vain), loved by everyone, and on his way to success, except for one thing.
A child ninja attending the same school as his (same class) is the only thing that nags him to the very bone. That young ninja's name is Aka but everyone call him Red. Ever since the day Bid caught sight of Aka running vertically up walls, an unstoppable obsession with the human anatomy and genetic field was born. As far as he knows about human biology, it should be impossible for a human to stick to the side of a wall like Spiderman. He constantly makes robots and genetically engineered creatures to test the physical limits and strengths of Aka. He after different mishaps and clashes with Aka, Bid is still amazed at what the human body is really capable of. However everything comes to a sudden halt when Aka is transferred out of town. Bid is furious about his test subject leaving him.
I've read a lot of fan fiction and in my opinion, I don't like any ships that are made for this show. If you do choose to adopt this story, NO ROMANCE! I admit, I am a shipper myself but Invader Zim for me is just one of those stories that isn't ment to be shipped at all! There is a time and place for things to be shipped but this is not one of them!
Please don't flame me for my opinions.
