Dumb Little Spacejourney For Two

By: Jaha Canon

This is the last chapter I will be posting for the DLS series. I am fairly certain at this point that I will not be writing a third story for this series. If you would like me to PM you if I -am- suddenly possessed to do so someday in the future, please let me know in a review.

Either way, thanks for following along, reading, reviewing, and being overall awesome.

TallestCora- Yeah, but I think Dib's main focus was to win rather than to actually be right. Come to think of it, that's the opposite of how he does things on Earth. Interesting, huh? :)

Alana-kittychan- Yeah, sorry! But thanks for reading!

Ninja chick- Don't worry, it wasn't at all your fault. I sort of fell out of love with the idea of making a sequel before I got any sort of criticism. I was a little bit put off by your remarks, but I think that was mostly just because of the timing. They probably wouldn't have bothered me at all if they came when I wasn't kind of in an icky mood. :) I'm looking forward to your reviews in the future.

Did you notice that the ending of Spacehouse and Spacejourney (the chapter before this one) both included countdowns? I don't really know why that happened. (haha)

Thanks again for taking your time to read this and sorry that I am not a super good writer. (I tend to believe that a little less than perfection is forgivable in the world of fanfiction, but I suppose not everyone agrees.)

Anyway, here's the epilogue.

----~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"EARTH!" Dib cried affectionately as he stepped back onto his home planet. He inhaled the air deeply and was quickly reminded why he never used to do that before.

"Ugh, this TERRIBLE smelling place again." Zim complained.

"-You- wanted to come back here." Dib reminded him. He then spoke in the most pathetic voice he could muster. "Oh Dib! Please please please let me go with you to Earth!"

Zim crossed his arms and glared at Dib. "I have a mission to finish."

Dib ignored Zim in favor of the ship. "I guess I can come back for this later. I don't imagine it would fit very well in the garage."

Zim pushed a button on his wrist and shot a laser at the ship causing it to blow up.

Dib's arms flailed wildly for a few seconds as he tried to find words.

"That was MINE!" Dib said angrily.

Zim gave Dib an irritated look.

"You could have better ways of dealing with jealousy." Dib remarked cooly. After a little bit of Zim's stubborn silence, he sighed. "See you at skool, Zim."

"Uhh.. yeah, skool." Zim replied.

And then they walked off in their own separate directions.

~~~~~~-----------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~----------------------

Dib entered his house and found Gaz on the couch playing her Game Slave.

"Gaz!" Dib exclaimed as he ran up to his sister.

"Leave me alone, Dib, I'm on a really difficult level."

"Haven't you wondered where I've been all this time?" Dib asked.

"No." She spared a second to look at her brother and noticed his clothes. "What happened to you?"

"Well, it all began when Zim and I were kidnapped and taken to some kind of alien television network reality TV planet..."

"And how did -that- cause you to start dressing like some unfortunate child's dad on vacation?"

"Well, it's a long story and I was going to get to that part."

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it." Gaz said.

Dib looked discouraged.

"Hey, I wonder if I could get the channel with Ten's show to broadcast on our TV." Dib mused, mostly to himself.

"Get rid of any of the channels we have now and you're DEAD, Dib."

---~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-----------------------~~~~~

Zim was relieved that his base was all in one piece when he returned. He entered the house and found Gir watching television.

"Hiya master!" Gir greeted, "I memorized every Full House episode there ever was!" The robot giggled for reasons beyond human or Irken comprehension.

Zim glared at the television and then at Gir.

"Don't like Full House, master?" Gir asked, "How about Star Trek?"

"GIR! Turn that THING off now."

---END----

Full House - Dumb Little Spacehouse for Two

Star Trek - Dumb Little Spacejourney for Two

I actually didn't type those two shows on purpose for that reason. I was simply trying to think of shows that have A LOT of episodes. Later on I realized that the titles kind of relate to the titles of the DLS series.

Thanks for reading, everyone! I was always very happy to hear that people enjoyed what I was writing.

Oh, and just in case you wondered about the random places I got inspiration from for this story----

(of course, hardly anything listed here is exactly replicated...)

TV-

The Office

Who's Line Is It Anyway

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Candid Camera

Sesame Street/Muppets in general

Youtube-

"Literal version" of "Arms Wide Open" - drugged Zim's "I'M FLYING" comment.

"David After Dentist" - pretty much everything else drugged Zim said.

"Charlie the Unicorn"- Dib in the Sesame Street based world (KIND of.)

Other-

Award show scene was inspired from clips of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at the Emmys. (can be found on youtube)

The really bad interview- inspired from clips of interviews at award shows that I've watched on the internet. Those interviewers are... uhh... bad.

(Unfortunately, I really can't remember what I based anything off of for Spacehouse. Except for maybe the last two chapters or so...)
