Here we go with a new chapter!


A few minutes later, as Zim was sitting down on the couch, Gaz was looking over the labels of a regular bag of chips, and the bag of chips that the alien had given her. "Hmmmm... mmmmmm..."

"What is it? WHAT IS IT?" Zim said in concern. "Is it bad? JUST GIVE THE NEWS!"

"First of all, ow, Zim, lower your voice a notch." Gaz groaned as she rubbed her ears.

"NEVER!" Zim called out as Gaz looked over to the alien.

"Second of all, these chips are quite the same, and yet... they're different in terms of ingredients." Gaz said as Zim raised an eyebrow.

"Ingredients?" Zim asked.

Gaz gave a nod. "Yeah, look. Most of the ingredients in these bags of chips are the same, salt, potatoes, vegetable oil, all of that. The only difference is that there seems to be one extra ingredient in your version of chips..."

"What's that?" The Irken asked.

"Zim, what exactly is 'Florofleen'?" Gaz raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Zim's eyes lit up as he gasped, "You never heard of the greatest ingredient in the galaxy! Florofleen is the only thing that can make food taste really good! For without the taste of Florofleen, you have no purpose... no life... not even a trinkle of delight..."

Gaz could only scoff as she opened the bag of Irken chips. "Hmph. I'll be the judge of that."

"Uh, Gaz-creature, I don't know if Florofleen has the same effect as..." Zim started to say before Gaz pulled out a chip and started chewing on it. "Oh boy..."

The purple haired Goth girl started chewing on the chip as she savored the taste of it... before her eyes widened in shock as her amber eyes began to shine in delight as something started to go on in her mind...


Gaz was happily swinging on a swing in the playground as Irken chips began to rain in the sky. Gaz found herself happily laughing and giggling in delight as she jumped out of the swing and into a pool of chips as she was swimming in the chippiness.


Gaz smiled immediately as she grabbed another chip and started eating it. "Mmmmm... mmmmmm! MMMMMMMM!"

Zim looked confused and surprised as Gaz immediately downed the whole bag of chips as she threw them aside and gave a smile and a sigh of happiness. "Er, I can easily diagnose that you have an affinity to Florofleen."

"Florofleen chips... they taste like... heaven in your mouth..." Gaz gave an uncharacteristic happy smile as she laid her head down on the Irken's legs, cuddling up. "Zim, you need to take me to the planet where Florofleen is produced... I need more of this..."

Zim gave a laugh as he said, "Well, if you like the chips with FLorofleen, wait until you taste the pizza with Florofleen."

Gaz immediately snapped out of it for a brief moment as she gave a laugh. "Please, Zim. The best pizza in the world is Bloaty's. There's no way someone can make pizza good with Florofleen. I'll give you the chips, I'll never want to eat Earth chips again, but Bloaty's pizza is for me!"

Zim paused as he looked up at the sky and shrugged. "Well, okay. If you don't want pizza with Florofleen in it, I guess we won't have it. We'd have to go out into space anyway to Foodcourtia, and... er, I'm not sure if that would be a good idea to go back there, because I know somebody there who's... not too happy to see me right now... and... hmmm... but no matter! ZIM IS BACK AND READY TO CONQUER EARTH! And with you by my side, Gaz-creature, we can-"

"How good would you say the pizza in Foodcourtia is? Say, better than Bloaty's?" Gaz raised an eyebrow.

"Er, well... I wouldn't exactly tell you, since I haven't tried any of this... bloating pizza, but I can assure you, it's better tasting!" Zim smirked. "Now, about my first plan for world conque-"

"We're going."

Zim blinked as Gaz got up from his lap as the alien looked confused. "Eh? Going where?"

"To Foodcourtia, of course! You said they serve the best pizza, and I want to judge for myself!" Gaz said as she started to look at the alien, whose eyes widened in surprise.

Zim stared at the purple haired human in surprise... before laughing at her face. Gaz frowned a little as her teeth gritted before saying, "I'm not joking, Zim. Take me to Foodcourtia."

Zim slowly stopped laughing as he noted the serious look on Gaz's face. "Suppose I refuse your offer?"

The purple haired girl responded by grabbing a table and tossing it at the TV, breaking it in two. GIR, who was standing nearby, gasped in horror as he started to cry. "THE TV! NO! WHY! WHY!"

Zim, on the other hand, yelped a little as he tugged on his collar nervously. "You make a compelling argument, Gaz-creature."

"Darn right I do." Gaz gave a smirk.


"Er... are you really sure you should go to Foodcourtia with me right now? Suppose your... relatives notice you're not here... it's a few days trip to Foodcourtia and back." Zim pointed out.

"Sheesh, it's fine. Besides, I need to get away from the school anyway... and besides, the only person who would really notice is Dib, and really, would what he say matter in the slightest?" Gaz asked.

The alien paused as he thought about it. "I suppose you bring up a point..."

"Then chop chop, Zim. Foodcourtia time! GO!" Gaz said as she settled down as Gir plopped down on her lap and fell asleep on it. The girl then pulled out her Game Slave and turned it on. "Let me know when we're there."

Zim paused as he looked towards his friend/partner, but gave a sigh as he turned the key to the spaceship as the ship began to blast off into the sky, and right into space. The green skinned alien couldn't help but give a sigh as he started to get slightly worried. When he stepped back into Foodcourtia... would anyone notice he's there? On top of that... what if Sizz-Lorr spotted him? His mission would never get accomplished if he was in Foodcourtia any longer than he had to be.

But Zim took a deep breath as he started to guide his ship to send him to their destination as he sighed. "Maybe if I'm lucky, he won't even know I was here..."


And with that, Zim and Gaz are about to head out for their first space adventure together... but what obstacles will they have to face? Find out next time!
