Disclaimer: I don't own IZ or it's characters. All other made up
characters, 'cept Lan, are open for anyone to use. Lan is a character from
my own IZ world, if I ever get to writing it out. Oh yeah, I don't own The
Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet either, that's copyright to Shakespear.
Author's note: Thank you all sooo much for reviewing my work. Well, okay 4 of you, but still, y'all have boosted my self-confidence way up! ^_^ HelgaGP, I had to make Dib Zim's enemy, so Tybalt seemed like the good choice. Gir needed to be a spontaneous character and had to be Zim's friend thingy. I know that they die, but so do Gaz and Zim in the end. Thank you for reviewing again! I will list the characters again for easy reading reference.
Author's Note #2: Just so you can tell what the characters look like, I will describe Naven, Lan, and Janet. I will describe the others as they appear. Lan is a female Irken, who is about 3 inches taller than Zim, has purple eyes, and two antennas that look like they have a little leaf on the end of each of them. Naven is a male Irken, who is about 5 inches taller than Zim (poor Zim; being so short), has orange eyes, and an antenna. Janet is a human (obviously female), who is about 5'6", is a brunette, has green eyes, and, for some reason, feels motherlyish towards Dib.
Author's Note #3: One more thing… is it just me or are all of us reading this play? I'm reading it in English right now also!

[All exit except The Tallest and Lan]
Tallest Red- Who started it this time? Lan, tell me, where were you when it all began?
Lan- Here were the servants of your adversary and yours, close fighting before I did approach. I drew to part them. In the instant came the bigheaded Dib *chuckles* with his sword prepared, which, as he breathed defiance to my ears, he swung about his head and cut the winds, who, nothing hurt withal, hissed him in scorn. While we were interchanging thrusts and blows, came more and more, and fought part on part, till that Bitters human worm-dirt… thing came, who parted either part.
Tallest Purple- O, where is Zim? Saw you him today? Right glad… I mean disappointed I am that he was not at this fray.
Tallest Red- *dully* You're rhyming again.
1.5 Tallest Purple- I was? Damn it!
Lan- Madame, er, sir. Sorry it slipped; you guys are wearing dresses. *Gets evil glare* He he he. Um, anyways, *bows deeply* Almighty Tallest Purple, an hour before the Earth's worshiped sun peered forth form the East, a troubled mind drove me to walk abroad; where, underneath the grove of sycamore that westward rooteth from this city side, so early did I see your short invader. Towards him I made, but he was aware of me and stole into the covert of the wood. I, measuring his affections by my own, which then most sought where most might not be found.
Tallest Red- Huh?
Lan- *bluntly* He wanted to be alone.
Tallest Red- Ohhh.
Lan- Being one to many by my weary self, pursued my humor not pursuing his, and gladly shunned who gladly fled from me.
Tallest Red- Many a morning hath he there been seen, with tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew, adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs; but all so soon as the all-cheering sun should in the farthest East begin to draw the shady curtains from dawn's bed, away from the light steals home the heavy-hearted Zim, and private in his lab pens himself, shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, and makes himself an artificial night. Black and pompous must this humor prove unless good counsel may the cause remove.
Tallest Purple- And you thought I had issues with rhyming!
Lan- My noble Tallest, do you know the cause?
Tallest Red- I neither know it nor care about it.
[Enter Zim.]
Lan- See, where he comes. So please step aside, I'll know his grievance, or be much denied.
[Exit Tallest Red and Tallest Purple.]
Lan- Morning Zim.
Zim- Is this blasted day still so young?
Lan- It just turned nine.
Zim- Ay me! Sad hours seem long. Was that the tallest that just left?
Lan- Yes. What sadness lengthens Zim's hours?
Zim- Not being able to figure out that which torments me.
Lan- Taks still tossing meat in your face?
Zim- Yes. Why are these human affections so damn difficult to figure out?
Lan- But Zim, Tak isn't a hum-.
Zim- No, no. Don't try to talk me out of it. I know that you want to take over this assignment.
Lan- *Dripping in sarcasm* Oh yeah, I soo want this "top secret" mission. *Normal* Alas that love, so gentle in his view, should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
Zim- Alas that love, whose view is muffled still, should without eyes see pathways to his doomèd will! Where shall we dine for lunch? O my! What battle was here? No, don't tell me, for I have heard it all. That cursèd Dib always causes problems to stop my invasion! *Lan rolls her eyes* Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, of nothing first created! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
Lan- You're ranting.
Zim- No I'm not! A madness most discreet! Farewell Lan.
Lan- Wait! I will go along. And if you leave me so, you do me wrong.
Zim- Okay, see ya. *Walks off*
Lan- Don't leave me behind! Zim wait! ZIM! *Runs after Zim*
[Exit all]
