Disclaimer: The version of 'Crazy' that I used belongs to the 'KidneyThieves'.
A/N: Yes, yes, the rating on this was miss placed. I actually did up the rating from 'G' to 'PG' on adding the third chapter. My hope was to slowly up the rating and have no one notice. Ah well, crap happens. So now it's 'PG-13' cause well, chapter 5 is gonna need it.
And apparently my Word program is on crack, I apologize for the messy way it was before.

Gaz sat outside in the park with sunglasses on and GameSlave in hand. Her head didn't hurt so much any more since Zim gave her his 'remedy' so everything was good for now.
Dib hadn't said a word to her all morning. He hadn't even said 'goodbye' when she left the house.
Ah freedom.
A shadow fell over her and she looked up pausing her game.
"What do you want?" Gaz asked.
"To talk." Ami said. She sat on the bench next to Gaz. "Dib is really worried about you."
"My brother has nothing to worry about." Gaz said not looking at Ami. "Zim wouldn't hurt me."
"How do you know? He might use you to get to Dib."
Gaz gave a short laugh. "Ami, you're Dibs' girlfriend right?"
Ami sat silently for a moment. "I suppose. I mean we really haven't talked about that."
Gaz lifted her sunglasses off from over here eyes and gave Ami a look. "Oh come on. He talks about you enough. You two talk on the computer every night. You hang around him no matter what anyone says. You mean to tell me you two haven't so much as held hands?"
"Well, we. I mean." Ami stuttered.
Gaz sighed. "My point is that Zim could just use you instead. But he won't because Zim is no danger to anyone."
"How can you be so sure?"
Gaz suppressed a smile. "I just know Ami." She sat up. "Just to change the subject are you two coming to my play tonight? Or did Dib forget all about that?"
"No, we're going. I forgot though, what's it called?"
"It's an original. Mak wrote it. It's called 'Cyberwolves'."
"Is there anything I can say to get you stay away from Zim?"
Gaz sighed again. "Sorry Ami, but no."
"He's not hurting you is he? He's not making you do things?"
"You're starting to get annoying. Did you know that?"
Ami stood up. "Well I tried." She walked away.
Gaz leaned back again.
"She's really nosy isn't she?" Zim said.
Gaz put a hand up to the little transmitter in her ear. "Yeah. But they are coming to the play."
"So I heard."
Somewhere in the background she heard Gir singing. "Ieeeee waaant can-dy! Dun dun dun de dun dun! Ieeee want candieeee!"
"Gir! Stop singing! You're tone deaf!" She heard Zim scream.
Gaz took out the transmitter.
She finally arrived at the car and got in. Gir immediately crawled in her lap and purred.
Zim glared at the little SIR. "I have to work on his singing voice."
Gaz smiled. "Let's go, I have to be at the theater at five." She gave him a look he had come to associate with her devious side. "But I'm sure we have some time to do something else too."
Zim gripped the wheel tightly as he started to pull out of the lot. "I'm sure we will."

Dib and Ami filed into the Little Theater with the rest of the crowd. They found some seats in the fourth row and settled in.
"Look what just dragged itself in." Dib said glaring across the theater.
Zim looked around a bit and sat down on the front row.
"Just relax Dib." Ami said. "We'll get them after the play."
Suddenly a girl dressed in cyber punk came out on stage in front of the curtains. The room fell silent when a light fell on her.
"Years into the future." The girl said. "Systems are a part of the mind. Gangs roam the Internet. Viruses send the recipient into insanity. And Cyberwolves are a pack of hackers that are the hardest to find or beat." The light turned off and she walked off stage.
The play went on for two hours. The crowd was riveted by the violet haired lead ladies' performance with her fellow actors.
"Jacob was a good hacker. But not good enough." Gaz said towards the end. Everyone on stage looked at her unbelieving as she walked off.
She had just revealed that she had been a mysterious hacker by the name of 'Crush'. The final twist in a play about deceit.
The audience stood up and applauded as the curtains went down.
Dib stayed seated but Ami stood up.
People started to file out but someone came out on stage. "Hello! Wait! There's more!" He said into the microphone. "If you'll all please remain seated our leading actress Gaz has elected to perform solo for you. Please."
The audience sat down murmuring.
The curtain rose and Gaz stood alone in the middle of the stage. She had changed out of her Cyberpunk outfit and now wore her usual black pants and black shirt with a purple over shirt. The only difference that Dib could see was her necklace. It wasn't her skull it was a silver orb.
Music started up. "Crazy. I'm crazy for feelen so lonely."
He had never really heard Gaz sing before.
"I'm crazy. Crazy for feelen so blue." The music started to swell. "I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted. And some day, you'd leave for somebody new."
The music had a long paused then turned sort of techno and her singing became more stressed. "Worry! Why do I let myself worry?" She started to walk forward. "Wonderin, what in the world should I do? Crazy. For thinken that my love could hold you."
Dib could have sworn she was looking at Zim who was still there watching her. "I'm crazy, for thinking that my love could hold you! I'm crazy for tryin and crazy and for cryin, and I'm crazy for loven you. I'm crazy for trying, and crazy for cryin, and I'm crazy for loven you." She continued in a muted voice. "I'm crazy for tryin, and crazy for cryn, and I'm crazy for loven you."
Suddenly the silver orb around her neck glowed. Dib winced as what sounded like feedback pierced his mind.
Gaz still stood there watching her audience. She lifted the microphone again. "Obey." She said. "The mighty Zim is your master. Obey."
Dib shook his head and grabbed Amis' arm dragging her out of their row. The people they passed didn't seem to notice them.
He pulled her out of the theater and the feedback sound vanished.
She shook her head but looked dazed. "Obey?" She asked.
"Snap out of it!" He shook her.
"What? Dib? What happened? Where Am I?"
"They're using mind control! I'll bet anything that's how Zim got Gaz on his side." He turned back to her. "You stay here. I don't think I'm affected but you are."
She nodded. "Be careful."
He ran back in and covered his ears against the feedback sound. He ran to the stage and climbed up.
"Obey Zim, he is your master." Gaz was still speaking.
He ran and tackled her pulling the microphone from her hand.
"What? Dib!" Gaz cried.
"Don't listen! Wake up! Zim is not your master!" He yelled.
Zim climbed up on stage. "Stupid Human!" He tried to take the microphone from Dib.
The audience started to come out of it.
"Don't listen!" Dib yelled.
Zim finally got the microphone. "Yes listen! I am Zim! I am your master!"
Dib got up and rushed Gaz tearing her necklace off. He threw it down and crushed it under his foot. A small explosion left his foot numb from the shock wave.
Now the audience was fully out of the trance. The stood up and clapped since their last memory was of Gaz finishing her song. No matter that a green kid and a kid with a big head had suddenly appeared there.
"Gaz! Zim's just using you! He has you under some kind of mind control!" Dib said trying his damndest to get Gaz back on his side.
"Are you insane? He tried that a few years ago, it won't work!" She pushed him away. "Figures it wouldn't work on you too." She motioned to the backstage crew that was coming out of the trance as well.
They lowered the curtain.
The audience started to file out.
"That's it! I'm contacting the armada!" Zim shrieked. "Forget infiltration and control! We're taking this planet by force!" He stormed off stage.
"Way to go Dib." Gaz said. "You just sparked the war for Earth." She turned and left him on the stage.
"Ah, crap!" He went around the side of the curtain and leapt off the stage.
This was bad.
A/N: Yes, yes, the rating on this was miss placed. I actually did up the rating from 'G' to 'PG' on adding the third chapter. My hope was to slowly up the rating and have no one notice. Ah well, crap happens. So now it's 'PG-13' cause well, chapter 5 is gonna need it.
