Zim sat on the old couch, trying to think of a plan so Dib would leave them alone and Gaz would be his. He rubbed his chin, deep in thought. "Hmmmmmmmmm…..Maybe I should ask The Tallests, it has been a while since I last gave them an update," Zim said to himself.

He pulled a small black remote from under the sofa and pressed the red button. At once the T.V. screen fizzed and blurred till it was in focus in the Tallests' Red tallest was eating donuts while, the Purple tallest was eating pizza. They were sitting on a couch too. Empty bags, and boxes littered the floor with bits of food.

The tallest Red's eyes widened when he saw Zim on the screen. He choked on a powdered donut and Purple gasped, the cheese on his pizza fell to the floor.

"Zim!" they both said at once in complete shock. Zim smiled, happy to know that his tallests still remembered him. Zim jumped up from the couch and saluted to the screen. "Yes my Tallests, it is I, the almighty ZIM!" he said in his loud voice.

The Tallests just gapped at the screen in front of them.

Zim was alive?!

After a couple minutes of awkward silence, The Tallest Red spoke up, "We…we thought you were dead Zim… from that last incident that blew up half of your house!"

Zim smiled, revealing a whole zippered mouth. He waved off Red's words.

"No need to worry over me my Tallests, I am alive and well. The plan for Impending Doom 2 is still in progress, and I am very close of taking over this horrible planet. I also have a human girl working for me now," Zim said proudly.

The two Tallests looked at each other wide eyed.

Zim got his own human slave? Impossible!

They both slowly turned their heads back to Zim. "That's…good, Zim…I think" said the Purple Tallest.

"Yes…yes it is," Zim said proudly.

The Tallests just stared at Zim. Zim eyed his Tallests, then decided to proceed.

"It is very good because her name is Gaz, she is the sibling of the Dib-pork, WHO HAS BEEN FOILING MY PLANS!" Zim screamed angrily. He threw his fists into the air. His eyes were squeezed shut and his zipper teeth were clenched together tightly in an outraged state. When silence filled the air, Zim opened one magenta colored eye and looked over at his Tallests. Zim lowered his arms and looked at the two Tallests on the screen, still staring at him.

To them there was something about Zim that seemed…different, but what? Maybe it was the screen... the screen is making Zim look weird... kind of like those goofy mirrors in carnivals that make you look fat, or small, or…tall. Yeah. it had to be the screen...

Purples mouth opened and closed, but nothing came out. Red spoke again. "Well…uh… that's good Zim. Uh... keep up the good work... and keep us noted if all goes... well... ok?" asked the Red Tallest.

Zim nodded. "Yes, I will, my Tallests. I promise you, I WILL COMPLETE MY MISSION!" screamed Zim, flailing his arms in dramatic gestures. The Tallests didnt say anything. They were still stunned to see Zim was still alive. Zim smiled. "Invader ZIM! Signing off," Zim said. He picked up the remote from his couch and pushed a button.

The Tallests blnked when the screen went black. The Tallests stared at the screen for a couple minutes. Their eyes wide in horror. Gradually, Purple snapped out of his state of shock and turned to Red. "Did you see...?" He asked, his voice faltering. Red slly nodded, gradually turning his head to Purple. "Zim...he's alive...and..." his voice faltered as well as his head turned back to the black screen. Purple turned back to the screen as well. "He's...grown. He's...tall..." The two Tallests were quiet for a minute.

Suddenly, the two Tallests burst out laughing. Red wiped the liquid coming out of his eyes. "Ah, that was a good one," he said as he picked up his bag of powdered donuts and stuffed his hand into it. Purple laughed in agreement. He lifted his cheeseless pizza and took a bite. "Yeah. I almost thought he would actually be taller then us," he said. The two burst out laughing again. Bits of pizza and powdered donut spewed onto a slave Irken and the screen tv.
