FYI: This Story is A ZADR AU of the original Invader Zim TV Series that aired on nickelodeon where Zim is a well-respected and successful invader, who is loved by his leaders, and his people. He has a good disguise and fits in perfectly with the humans, and befriends Dib, and lives a double life while trying to keep his secret under wraps.

Zim is not short in this AU he is average human height. Also, all characters are aged up for obvious reasons. So just think of invader Zim happening in high school instead of grade school. I wanted to write a story with a smart respected Zim and give my readers a feel for what the series would have been like if Zim wasn't defective, and was appreciated for his loyalty, and tireless efforts. I also added a little ZADR twist because who doesn't like ZADR? Also, this is different from my Prince AU series. Zim is just a regular Irken in this story with no royal heritage.

Disclaimers: I do not own Invader Zim

Chapter 37: Parent Teacher Night (Part 3)

It had taken to the very last second for the robo-parents to be ready for the Parent-teacher Night. And while Zim would have loved to watch the process himself a certain person was making that very difficult.

"Is he spying on my house?" Zim asked as he spots Dib hiding in his bushes outside. He was still on the phone with Gaz and Peg when he noticed. "Gee I'm beginning to see why he has no friends, he's down right possessive" Zim said as he shook his head.

"Seriously Dib!" Gaz exclaimed. "I'm calling him right now!"

"No don't." Zim assured her. "It's sweet." He admitted. "Creepy, but sweet."

Peg giggled. "So you find stalking sweet." She laughed. "Wow you guys really are perfect for each other."

"He's just a little paranoid." Zim said.

"A little?" Gaz asked. "Try extremely. I'm telling you now that you better say good bye to your privacy because he will get close and personal."

Zim gave a nervous laugh, honestly he did find the stalking creepy, but the fact that Dib was so possessive was in a way attractive, after all Irkens were also very possessive of their things, and this included their mates. He shook his head at the thought. He couldn't let Dib effect his feelings like this, if this plan was going to work then he had to use the boy's emotions without allowing his own to get involved.

A task that was easier said than done apparently.

"I'm just going to go invite him in." he says as he goes to hang up. "See you guys in a few."

"K Bye." Peg said.

"Whatever." Gaz added.

Zim sighed and hung up, he was about to go yell at Dib outside when his robo-parents appeared.

"Are you ready dear?" The mother decoy asked Zim.

"Yes…" Zim replied hopefully.

"Well then we otta be on our way." The father decoy spoke.

"Yes!" He said, punching the air. The download had worked, everything was as it should be, and for once there would be no comeuppance to partner with Gir's shenanigans.

"We sure are proud of you son." The mother said.

"We sure arrrrre..." The father decoy said, leaning in and patting Zim on the head.

Zim sees the crazy look in his eyes, and gets an odd feeling in his gut. However, before he can question it his mother leads them out the door.

"We are so late!" Mrs. Richards says.

"Very." Mr. Richards agreed as they went to get into the car. "Hey sport why don't you ask your friend in the bushes if he wants a ride?"

Zim snickered as he heard cursing coming from the bushes as he approached. "Careful with your words Dib, my mother is present." He warned Dib as he stood up.

"It's not what it looks like!" Dib suddenly shouted.

"So you're not spying on me like some paranoid weirdo?" Zim asked jokingly.

"Well…" Dib began.

"Just get into the car and I'll make something up." Zim assured him.

Dib nodded nervously, he wanted to argue with Miz about today's strange events, but he also didn't want to get his friend into trouble, so he obeyed for the time being.

"Sorry dad I had Dib hide in the bushes because I didn't ask if he could come over before we left." Miz explained as they entered the car.

"No problem sport, just have him call ahead next time." His dad said as they pulled out of the drive way and started down the road towards the school.

"It's a wonder he recognized him." His mother added. "Usually he throws his shoes first and asked questions later."

"I think you mean fists mother." Miz said.

"No I meant shoes." His mother said.

Dib gives her a weird look, but soon shrugs it off.

Zim bit his lip nervously, perhaps the bots were still a bit too basic for this endeavor after all. Oh well it was too late to back out now, because seconds later they pulled up in front of the school cafeteria and filed out of the car.

"So do they do parent teacher night in Japan?" Dib asked, desperately trying to make small talk.

Zim winced at the obvious, and desperate grab for conversation, a rift had formed between them already. He had to fix this before the mission was ruined entirely. "Uh well no, there's open house where you meet the teachers with your parents, but other than that most other meetings are for disciplinary purposes."

Dib smiled, Miz was doing it again, that thing where he talked like he was a lot older then he really was.

'He's smiling.' Zim thought. 'Good, I must have done something right.'

Dib notices how relieved he looks. 'So he knows we're at odds.' He thought. 'And I know we are, but neither of us is saying anything? What's that all about?' He was about to ask just that when Gaz walked up along with Peg and her parents.

"There you guys are." Peg said. "Miz these are my parents."

"Awe Mr. and Mrs. Frank." Miz said offering them a hand. "It's great to finally meet you."

Peg's parents shake his hand and smile. "Yes we've heard a lot about you." Mrs. Frank assured him.

"All good I hope." Mr. Richards laughed. "I kid, my name is Alan, and this is my wife Carrie." He said as they shook hands.

"Who does your hair?" Mrs. Richards asked Mrs. Frank.

"Oh Joss over at the beauty salon over on Maple." She answered. "Do you like it? I was afraid it was done too dark."

"No it's perfect." Miz mother assured her.

Zim sighed in relief, all was going smoothly. He looked to Dib to see an angry look on his face. He then notices that someone is absent. "Where's your dad?" He asked.

A screen suddenly floats up towards them with a standby message on it.

"Where do you think?" Dib scoffed. "Why am I surprised? To think I thought things would actually be different!" he groaned as they moved as a group into the cafeteria.

There were several teachers and parents already in attendance, and Zim looked around curiously.

Ethan, or Lizard Boy as he was often called was showing off his lizard-like tongue to a kid named Flan while Gaz's science teacher Mr. Nickolas looked at a floating monitor that was accompanying Dib and Gaz. "Children?" He asked confused.

Suddenly Prof. Membrane showed up on the screen. "Awe there it goes, finally I managed to make this old piece of junk work. You know I haven't used this since the last time I had to show up to a school function. Which was back when they were still in Diapers." Prof. Membrane went on, he was obviously talking to someone who was sitting with him, just off screen.

Zim snickered, and Dib turned red with embarrassment.

"Dad!" Gaz growled. "We can see and hear you!"

"Oh right." Prof. Membrane cleared his throat. "Sorry." He added.

"You're Must Prof. Membrane?" Mr. Nickolas said.

"INDEED!" Prof. Membrane replied. "I am! You must be the science teacher Gaz has told me so much about!"

"He's hilarious." Gaz remarked, obviously lying.

"You know…" Mr. Nickolas rubbed his chin. "For some reason, you seem very…FAMILIAR…" He admitted softly. He looked from Dib to the monitor. "I can see where Dib gets his looks from." He joked, before looking down and noticing a small puddle of punch. "Well you two have a good time." Mr. Nickolas said. "I've got to go find a mop…again" He walked off, leaving them to ponder this as another teacher, Mr. Elliot, approached them.

"Hey kids, so this is your dad? I never knew he was a floating head!" Mr. Elliot remarked, holding onto his drink with one hand.

"No, he's not." Dib said. "My dad's just really busy and he couldn't be here in person. He's transmitting live from his lab across town!"

Mr. Elliot smiled understandingly. "Hey, my dad was like that too, you know I understand. It's nice to meet you, professor. I'm Mr. Elliot, huh, your daughter Gaz's homeroom teacher, I'm glad to finally meet you!"

Gaz rolled her eyes, groaning.

"I'm sorry but I'm very busy right now." Prof. Membrane said. He had begun working with some beakers on his desk. "We're testing some highly unstable chemicals." He said, putting a test tube down. Then he turned his head and his goggles visibly widened. "NOOO! You have the mixture all wrong!" He screamed.

"Oh boy." Gaz mumbled.

KA-BOOOOM!

A mushroom cloud shot up in the window behind Mr. Elliot far on the other side of town. Sirens screamed along with people as the monitor screen shows static for a few moments before a "Biohazard" symbol appeared with the words "Please Stand By".

"…that's a BAD thing, right?" Mr. Elliot asked.

"…pretty bad." Dib admitted.

"Oops my bad." Mr. Elliot admitted before running off.

Meanwhile Zim watched the explosion with big round eyes. He loved explosions, there was just something about them that made his Spooch beat rapidly and his blood boil with excitement.

Suddenly Mrs. Bitters, and Dark Booty approach them, it is then that Zim notices that a large group of parents and their kids have joined them by the window. Most of them were looking out at the explosion like he was.

"Miz, Dib, Girls how are you?" Dark Booty asked.

"Great." Peg answered for them.

"I didn't know janitors went to Parent Teacher Night." Miz remarked with a mischievous grin.

"Well with how often you four end up in detention I might as well." Dark Booty joked.

"Yes I wanted to ask about that." Mrs. Frank said. "My daughter is not getting in trouble for being late is she?"

"No she asked to join the class to study and do homework." Dark Booty assured her. "That is what they all are there for."

"It helps me focus to not have any distractions." Peg added.

"Oh well that's a relief." Mr. Frank said.

"Yes I'm Mr. Suggs by the way." Dark Booty said.

Zim stiffened a laugh, unfortunately it was loud enough for Dark Booty to hear. He gives him a knowing smile as Mrs. Bitters finally spoke.

"Of course I have no issues with this lot here." She assured their parents. "However as for the rest of you!" Her eyes narrowed at the rest of the parents around them along with their kids.

They shook in obvious fear at her presence, as well as her tone.

"Your children are worthless!" She spat. Causing Zim to look at her with wide eyes in surprise. "When you were my students, I said you'd amount to nothing. And I was right, you're nothing!"

"Yeah well, you're still teaching the same dead-end job you had 30 years-" One Parent spoke up.

Mrs. Bitters growled and suddenly…

KA-BONK!

A light fixture suddenly swings lose and knocks the parent who spoke out against her out cold.

Ms. Bitters grinned evilly. The school was on HER side.

"Are we sure she's human?" Zim asked as she walked away.

"I did think she was a vampire at one time." Dib admitted.

They both looked at Dark Booty as if hoping he would silence their fears. However Dark Booty just shook his head. "That is a little above your paygrade."

"Wait what?" Dib asked, but Miz interrupted by saying.

"We're getting paid for this?"

"Since when?" Gaz asked.

"Can we get back to the fact that Dark Booty basically admitted that Mrs. Bitters isn't human!" Dib declared.

"And that's my que to go." Dark Booty said, and dashed off.

"Hey Where's my money!" Gaz yelled after him, to which she got no response.

"Let's just get some punch." Peg said as she led the group over to the punch table.

The group migrated over to the punch table and began to chat idly.

Dib forced himself to brush off the news he had just received. Mrs. Bitters may not be human, and Dark Booty may owe him a big check, but right now he had a bigger fish to fry. His eyes fell on Miz he was pouring himself some punch as his parents went to go mingle elsewhere. 'Just tell him out right.' He told himself. 'Ask him for the truth.'

"Miz..." he began only to be stood up as His friend says.

"Hold that thought." And runs across the room to his parents.

"Seriously!" Dib shouted. "I thought we were past this MIZ!"

Zim did his best to ignore him as he joined his parents, he had to insure that they didn't do anything…well anything GIR would do.

At the moment the parent decoys were talking to the Slunchy family. Billy Slunchy was obviously disgruntled, arms folded, frowning angrily.

"So, what's going' on?" Zim asked, trying to "blend in".

"My mom won't stop TALKING about me." Billy said. "This isn't even my Parent teacher night! It's Mongo's. It's really embarrassing."

"At least she's not showing the pictures." His big brother Mongo said hopefully.

"Oh, and you've just gotta see these pictures!" Their mom suddenly said. "Now here's Billy crying' when he was kicked off the soccer team for crying' too much!"

Of course Poor Billy started crying.

"Grass stains sure are tough to get out of those soccer uniforms!" Mrs. Richards said.

Her husband nodded "Sports aren't everything. I'm sure your boy will find... something he's good at."

Zim put a hand to his chin, smiling. So far so good! He might get out of this yet and appear "normal"!

Now if he could just figure out the Dib thing he would be golden.

"That's true." Mr. Slunchy nodded. "Hey, why not try one of these cookies! My wife made them!" He said, holding up a plate covered with chocolate chip cookies.

"Thanks, Ted!" Mr. Richards said, taking a bite of the cookie…. And then he grabbed his stomach with a look of pain on his face.

Mrs. Richards's eyes went wide. "Oh no. Honey, is it-"

"Yup!" Mr. Richards confirmed nodding. "Diarrhea!"

DA-DUM!

A sea of parents and students look in the direction of Zim and his parents.

Zim felt a chill rise in him. "Uh oh." He admitted out loud.

"Now look who's embarrassed." Mongo laughed.

"Oh god no!" Zim could see the disaster happening before it even unfolded, he had to do something now! He pressed a button on his watch which sent the principal in action.

Principal Prickled walks over to Mrs. Bitters and Dark Booty as casually as ever, the communicator within his new eyes had send a message straight to his brain only seconds ago. His task was to distract them by any means necessary!

"Awe yes I'm glade your both here." He said to them. "I was wondering if I could steal you away to my office for just a moment."

"Of course." Dark Booty said as he and Mrs. Bitters followed him out.

Meanwhile Mrs. Richards was laughing a high pitch laugh. "I have just the thing for that!" She said to her husband.

Miz goes ghostly white as he sees Dib is now walking towards them, everything seems to go in slow motion from there. He knows he has to make a scene, if Dib, Peg, or Gaz saw what was about to go down it would all be over!

Miz is everything okay?" Dib asked.

"I think there is someone at my car!" Miz suddenly exclaimed pointing outside the window. Of course he had remembered that he had parked right in front of the window in the parking lot.

"You think it's Zim?" Dib asked.

"Let's find out!" Miz declared snatching him by the arm.

Dib decides to go along for the ride, while the girls roll their eyes and stomp after them.

"Yes let's go confront the possible thief slash alien who maybe rifling through your car!" Gaz said sarcastically.

"Isn't it obvious?" Peg scoffed. "Miz's parents are about to do something embarrassing and he doesn't want us to see."

"Well in that case…" Gaz stopped only for Peg to grab her by the arm. "Oh come on!"

"NO!" Gaz cried as her girlfriend dragged her out of the room and into the parking lot. "He acts so perfect, I want to see chaos!"

Meanwhile as Zim distracts his fellow Swollen Eyeball agents said chaos ensues!

Mrs. Richards lifts a cup of punch and splashed it in her husband's face.

"Refreshing!" Mr. Richards declared, but had he been built less advanced he probably would have short circuited.

Mrs. Richards turned to a shocked Mrs. Slunchy. "Who does your hair?" She asked, and began poking Ms. Slunchy in the head.

"Ow, ow, ow! My head!" The poor lady screamed.

By now the crowd had formed directly around them all. Thankfully for Zim there is no camera security system in the cafeteria thanks to the low school budget. And all spy bugs on the premises are constantly watch Dib, who is now no longer in the room. And as an added bonus Peg's parents had noticed their departure and decided to follow.

"Ma'am I think you should leave." Mr. Slunchy said.

"Don't tell ME what to do, young man! You go to your room!" She demanded, picking up the punch and dropping it on his head before she began running around the room poking several other people.

In the meantime, Zim is leading the group of children to his car, the group gasped as they see that the door is open and the lights are on.

"Oh my god!" Peg shouted as they got closer, stuff from inside the car was slung all over the ground. "Someone actually broke in!"

Miz concealed a smile as he sees Keef's dark silhouette run pass them, turns out the dirt child could still be useful, and he stayed out of sight just as ordered!

"We have to call the police!" Gaz suggested.

"And tell them what?" Zim asked. "That an alien looted the car?"

"Wait why would he break in?" Gaz asked. "I mean are we sure it was Zim?"

"Keef!" Dib suddenly said as he picked up a piece of red hair from the seat cushion.

Zim growled, apparently the child was not stealthy enough.

"We should go tell the Principal." Peg suggested.

"Yes, he'll call the police."

"This COULDN'T get any worse." Zim was about to say.

"Peg?"

The kids turned to see Peg's parents rushing towards them.

"Oh my goodness." Mrs. Frank said noticing the ransack car. "What happened?"

"Someone broke into Miz's car." Peg said.

"We think it was Keef." Dib added.

"Quickly we'll go report this to the principal." Mr. Frank said.

"I think I saw him leave the cafeteria with Mrs. Bitters." Miz said looking around.

"Then we'll try his office." Mrs. Frank said. "Miz go get your parents and meet us there."

Zim obeyed without hesitation, and Dib debated on whether or not he should follow him.

"Dib let's go!" Gaz said as she dialed their dad's cell. "I'm still getting a busy tone!" She growled in frustration.

Dib stomps his foot, but obeys. However none of them look towards the window of the cafeteria, for if they had they would have seen the nightmare that Zim had just walked into.

Mrs. Richards had gone back to Mrs. Slunchy and began poking her again meanwhile Mr. Richards was charging into the wall over and over again, the constant impact was leaving a mark in the wall, as well as damaging the Android Tech creating sparks around him.

"'Hey, is your dad feeling well?" Mr. Elliot asked Zim. It would appear that he doesn't notice the sparks, not that it will matter in a few seconds.

Zim nervously smiled. "Yes, he's perfectly fine…" He insisted, waving his hand dismissively.

PA-WHOOP!

His "dad" arm just pop off.

Zim did the first thing that came to mind and lied. "Nothing to worry about! My dad lost his arm in the, uh, the war!" He grinned nervously as his "dad" got on his knees.

"That was my squeezing' arm. They took my squeezing arm! Why my squeezing arm?!" He howled.

"Quit poking' my mom's head!" Mongo Slunchy shouted, waving his fist in the air as the mother decoy CONTINUED to poke Mrs. Slunchy. Zim dragged his "dad" over to his "mom", gulping nervously.

"Look, mom, we really have to go! Please. Now, please!" He begged.

"Honey, you're upset!" She realized.

"Yes! And I want to go home!" Zim shouted.

"I know what'll cheer you up." The mother decoy said cheerfully. And then she and the father began to RIVERDANCE!

Zim was sweating buckets now. He realized that eventually Dib would come looking for him, and see this whole scene. He had to think of something and fast! And that's when an idea popped into his head, he had seen enough of GIR's stupid shows to realize what must have happened. While he had been busy on the phone upstairs GIR must have changed the channel in the LAB.

Which explained the Robo-parents behavior, they were corrupted with Gir's tech, so they were doing what Gir would do in this situation, copy what they saw on TV. Luckily Zim knew what show to copy in order to get his parents to leave.

"Mom, dad. I think I've broken my spine! My spine!" He complained, pointing at his spine as he bent over.

"Aw, honey. I think it's time we took you home!" The mother decoy said gently, lifting him up into a cradling position. Which was rather awkward because he was far too big for such an act. Zim smiled triumphant… Then he looked down and saw the parent decoys had turned their feet into jet packs and were taking him home by going out the window. "Oh foo." He mumbled just before they flew out the window, breaking the glass.

"OMG!" Mongo Slunchy shouted.

"Seriously?" Zim growled as they flew through the air. "Put me down!" he demanded.

The Robo-Parents paid him no mind.

"Oh come on I already have one Gir I do not need another-" He stopped as it suddenly hit him, this was GIR'S programing which meant there was a way to control this! "SIRS Take me back now!" Zim ordered.

The Robo-parents eyes went red.

"Yes Master." Mrs. Richards said, and they zoomed back into the cafeteria faster than he could blink.

Everyone simply stared at him in awe as they landed before them.

"Sir go get your arm!" Zim pointed to Mr. Richards and then to his discarded arm on the floor.

Mr. Richards obeyed, and everyone continued to watch them too stunned to speak.

Zim turned to the then and decided that it was time to use a mind wipe, to tie up the rest of the loose ends. "Everything is alright everyone." He said.

The crowd gasped as his eyes changed to a swirling blue color as they did the first time.

"You will remember none of what happened tonight, my parents left this event early because my Dad became ill." He said. "And they will go home now by Taxi!" he said, remembering that Dib and the others were probably calling the police, and it was now a crime scene. "Now go about your evening everything is normal." He insisted in a clear voice.

For a moment the crowd looks dazed.

Finally they turn away from him and carried on with their evening, as his parents exited the cafeteria to haul a cab.

Zim gave a sigh of relief before heading over to the double doors leading deeper into the school. "Irk that was exhausting." He admitted as he slid down a locker to take a breather.

"Miz?"

Zim looked up to see that Dib was moving towards him.

"What happened?" Dib asked kneeling down beside him. "You okay?"

"Oh yeah just, my dad is sick so my mom had to take him home. You haven't called the police yet have you?"

Dib shook his head. "Principal Prickled wanted to wait for you." He said.

Zim nodded. "I think it's safe to say we won't be pressing charges."

"Are you sure?" Dib asked.

Zim nodded as Dib helped him up to his feet.

"Look Miz I get it if you want to dump me?" Dib said.

"Dump you?" Zim asked.

"Keef he…" Dib started.

"I told you Dib I don't care what he does." Zim assured him as he started to walk towards the principal's office.

"What about your girlfriend!" Dib suddenly blurted out.

"What?" Miz asked. "Girlfriend?"

Dib cursed under his breath. He hadn't meant to blurt it out that way, but he did, and he wasn't backing out from it now. "You've been avoiding me all day, looking up things about romance and said you'd have to cancel plans for tonight so I assumed…" He trailed off as Miz giggled slightly.

"You thought I had a girlfriend." He asked laughing.

"Just forget it." Dib mumbled and walked began to walk away. He would not be laughed at again, not after his first crush had done the same.

Zim rolled his eyes, he supposed it was now or never, so instead of giving it much thought he just grabbed Dib by the hand and pulled him towards him.

"Miz let me-" Dib froze as Miz's lips met his.

It took him a moment to process what was happening. MIZ was kissing him! And while it felt like eternity it only last for a second.

And to Zim's surprise it was as disgusting as he thought it would be, heck he even felt a spark! He smile as he pulled away. "You're so stupid sometimes."

"But you...plans...canceled." Dib stuttered.

"Those plans were with you." Zim explained.

"Me?" Dib asked.

"I was going to ask you out on a proper date, but then we had this." Miz exclaimed.

"And the novels?" Dib asked.

"You didn't seem to like my flirting style." Zim admitted.

"So you looked in cheesy romance novels." Dib asked.

"Don't judge me!" Zim shouted.

"So this whole time you've been a jerk you were just flirting?" Dib asked.

"Yeah…" Zim admitted nervously. "So are we…you know…" He asked.

"Cool?" Dib said.

"Yeah cool." Zim agreed.

"Well I know I am." Dib said trying not to laugh. "But you are a jerk." he said giving his shoulder a firm punch

Miz laughed. "I guess I deserve that." He said as they made their way to the principal's office. "I just wanted to do it right, you know ask you out in a romantic way, not kiss you in a dirty hallway."

Dib laughed. "Sounds romantic to me." He said. "Unsanitary? Yes, but romantic all the same."

"So…?" Zim asked looking like a deer in the headlights.

"How about a movie." Dib suggested.

"Only if you're buying." Miz mused.

"How about I buy the tickets and you get the popcorn?" Dib offered.

Zim smiled. "Deal." He said as he took Dib's hand in his, before opening the door for him.

"So I guess we're dating now." Dib said sheepishly.

"Well it's about time!" Peg said as they entered. "By the way they spotted Keef down the road, the police are hot on his tail."

"Where are your parents?" Dark Booty asked, no Doubt he was still present from when the principal had stolen him away before.

Mrs. Bitters was also present.

"My dad sick, my mom thinks he had food poisoning from something he ate, their on their way home." Miz explained. "I told them I'd stay behind, we're probably not pressing charges, but we'll keep the car here just in case."

"Alright." Principal Prickled said as he got off the phone. "I told the police you won't be pressing charges and how to reach your parents if they need anything."

"Do you need us to take you home?" Mrs. Frank asked them.

Miz nodded. "Yes thank you."

"We'll take a ride too." Gaz confirmed.

"Excellent." Principal Prickled said. "I'll go end the event in the cafeteria, with a criminal lose nearby I think it would be safe if they all went home."

"Agreed." Mrs. Bitters said.

"I'll go lock up." Dark Booty offered before following her out.

Miz sighed in relief as Mrs. Frank went to lead them out, everything was right again and no one was the wiser.

Or so he thought.

However if he had looked outside Principal Prickled window he would have seen two large purple eyes following his every move.

The owner of those eyes smiled, a zipper teeth smile. "I've got you now Zim." She mused with a snicker as she disappeared into the shadows!
