Author's Note: Hello Fellow Irkens. Welcome to the third and final installment in my INVADER ZIM EPIC. I must remind you that if you have not read "I'll Always Be Yours" and "Between Now and Then", please do so before reading this. I must also press upon you that Red/Erin fluffy-stuff has seeped into the story line. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS TO HEART PEOPLE! (I love the PaR shipping as much as the next person). Also, be aware that the RATING may change from "T" to "M" because of romance stuff in a MUCH LATER chapter. I do not own Invader Zim. If I did, I would hang out with the Tallest all day. YA!
Disclaimer: As Always, Please Be Respectful and NO FLAMING LASERS! Thank You!

One Year Later...

Milo sat in front of the television with GIR. It was their favorite past time. Milo was now a year old and he looked very much like his dad, more than he had when he'd been born. Milo was dressed in a very fashionable out fit. A purple hoodie w/ a dark red t-shirt over it, the t-shirt was so long, it hung just above Milo's knees. He wore black pants, black boots on his feet and black gloves on his hands. His parents wanted him to blend in as much as possible. But Milo's disguise was...much like his dad's. A black toupee and contacts. Though, Milo's contacts were a light blue. Milo only wore his disguise when he was outside the base, it was a rule. Another rule was that Milo was not allowed to go anywhere without GIR. In fact, Zim had handed GIR down to Milo. GIR was now Milo's SIR Unit.
"Alright sweety, mommy and daddy should be back in the afternoon", Erin replied smiling and kissing her son's cheek.
"Okay", Milo exclaimed.
"Don't talk to the humans and don't let anyone into the base. Oh and don't let GIR near the containment field. He keeps thinking it's a taco", Zim said.
"Okay", Milo stated.
Erin and Zim were almost out the door with their skool bags when Erin turned back around.
"Remember call the Tallest if there's an emergency. I left my cell number, Dib's cell number and the Tallest's transmission code on the fridge. There's snacks in the fridge if you get hungry", She replied.
"Erin, he'll be fine", Zim reassured her, "You do this every morning. We're going to be late".
Milo watched as his parents left. The house was rather quiet. Milo turned back to the TV after a few moments. There was a commercial for Acne Blast on.
"Okay GIR. Dad's left me in charge", Milo exclaimed getting up.
"Let's make biscits!" GIR remarked happily getting up, "LET'S MAKE BISCITS!"
"I have a better idea", Milo said, he put on his "human disguise", "Let's explore. Mom and dad didn't say I couldn't explore".
GIR did a ninja flip in the air and got into his dog disguise. Milo put GIR's collar on him and took his leash. Milo opened up the front door, leading GIR outside, Milo closed the door behind him.
"Come on GIR", Milo replied happily and started walking down the front walk way.

About fifteen minutes later, Milo and GIR were walking down the sidewalk. People stared at them as they passed them but they didn't think any thing of it. Milo just smiled at the humans. He didn't understand why his dad hated them. They seemed nice. GIR ran in circles around Milo as they continued walking.
"Ooooo", GIR cooed seeing a billboard for tacos, "TACOS!"
"You want a taco, GIR?" Milo asked.
"I need tacos or my head will explode", GIR explained.
Milo took GIR to the place that sold tacos and burritos and stuff like that. Milo wasn't good with these things and accidentally walked through the drive threw.
"What can I do you for little dude?" The kid at the drive-up window asked.
"One taco and two taqitos please", Miloe replied.
The kid at the window handed Milo a brown bag a moment later. Milo lifted up his t-shirt and stuck his hand inside his sweatshirt pocket. He gave the kid some money. Milo handed GIR the brown bag as they left the Taco place. GIR was chomping on his tacos as they went further into the city. Milo saw a store and went into it. It was actually a CD/DVD/Comic book store. Nick was also shopping there, since he was promoted and got a fancy pay check.
"Hey, no dogs allowed", the guy at the counter replied pointing at GIR.
"But he can flush a toilet", Milo pointed out.
"Oh..okay then", the guy said.
Milo and GIR walked around, looking at everything. Nick looked up as Milo passed him.
"How does that dog keep finding me?" Nick asked.
"He found an old yogart cup once", Milo stated.
"Why do you look familiar?" Nick asked looking at Milo.
"I'm a poorly disguised Irken child. I was made by a human female who is actually half alien and an Irken invader who was sent here to destroy the Earth. But my dad made peace with a human male named Dib. Everyone thinks he's crazy cuz he likes paranormal stuff. Anway, my dad doesn't want to destroy the Earth anymore. This is my dog GIR. We don't know what the 'G' stands for though", Milo explained.
Nick just blinked, "Uh...okay..".
The thing was, Milo had a habit of talking...talking too much. He got it from his dad. But it wasn't like anyone would actually believe him. Everyone just believed that Zim had a skin condition, that meant no ears or nose. The same went for Milo.

Fifteen minutes later....
Milo, GIR and Nick were sipping Icey's. They were sitting outside an Ice Cream shop.
"And that's how my car broke down", Nick replied.
"Wow. My dad hates it when the cruiser breaks down", Milo said slurrping on his icey.
GIR had taken the cover off of his, he sat back and tilted the entire thing up, letting the chocolate and bubble gum contents fall into his mouth. Gaz appeared a moment later, taking the remaining chair at the table.
"What's the he doing here?" Gaz asked Nick, she thumbed at Milo.
"You know him?" Nick asked.
"His mother pays me twenty bucks to watch him on Friday Nights", Gaz explained.
"How do you know Nick?" Milo asked.
"He's a gamer, just like me. He's good but not good like me", Gaz said.
"Gaz is very good at destroying vampire piggies", Milo stated, making Gaz give him a very rare smile.
"I likes pigs!" GIR exclaimed happily.
"Aren't you supposed to be at skool?" Nick asked looking at Gaz.
"My idiot brother and the idiot alien destroyed the science wing using a buncer burner and a torch", Gaz said.
- -
Nick, GIR, Milo and Gaz went back to the Hi-Skool. Every fire truck in the city was there, along with the ambulence and the police. The entire skool was standing out on the front lawn. Zim, Dib and Erin slipped out of the crowd of students. Nobody didn't even notice them. Dib spotted his sister.
"Gaz...wait, what's Milo, GIR...and who's that?" Dib asked.
"I'm Nick", Nick said.
"FILTHY human", Zim exclaimed approaching Nick and pointing at him.
"Zim, don't cause a scene", Erin said putting her hands on Zim's shoulders.
Milo looked up at them, "Gaz said you destroyed the skool".
"That would be Zim's fault", Dib muttered.
"How was I suppoed to know it was too hot?" Zim asked glaring at Dib.
"I TOLD YOU IT WAS TOO HOT!" Dib exclaimed.
Those two started arguing. Erin and Gaz just rolled their eyes.
"Milo, your supposed to be at home", Erin said turning to her son.
"GIR wanted some tacos. And then we met Nick", Milo explained.
Erin smiled at him and then looked at Nick, "Uh...thanks for watching him".
"No problem. The little dude is cool", Nick said and then walked off whistling "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers.

Milo stood in front of a screen, the Tallest were on it. They were eating pop corn.
"It was great. But my mom says I'm not allowed out of the house unless I have a parental guardian with me", Milo explained, having explained his entire day to the Tallest.
"Your mom is pretty smart. She's right", Red said, as Purple nodded in agreement.
"It could be dangerous", Purple added, stuffing his mouth full popcorn.
"Yeah, I guess", Milo replied, he then got a happy look on his face, "But guess what? My mom and dad are taking Dib and his sister to a light show this Friday and I need a sitter. My mom wants to know if you guys wouldn't mind".
Red and Purple exchanged glances.
"Couldn't she just ask us?" Purple asked.
"She and my dad are wrestling. I don't know how long their gonna take but they've been pretty busy for the past twenty minutes", Milo exclaimed.
Red had just put some pop corn into his mouth and started choking on it. Some of the kernals had gone down the wrong pipe as Milo spoke.
"That's..that's more then I really needed to know, Milo", Red said, coughing slightly.
"Sorry. So, what did you guys do today?" Milo asked, changing the subject.
"We...uh...did..stuff", Purple replied.
"You didn't do anything, did you?" Milo asked, smiling.
"We did to!", Purple exclaimed, "I just can't remember".
"Pur, your arguing with a one year old", Red pointed out, laughing slightly.
"I'll have my mom call you guys back", Milo said.
He shut off the screen and went to find his parents.
