Disclaimer: I don't
own any of the Invader ZIM characters. Skitt and Zoe and the plotline of this
story are mine. The song belongs to Eifell 65 and is their song 'Another Race,'
or however you spell that band's name. Read, now! Reeeead!

it's another
race from outer space.
it's another race away, away.

Dib stepped outside
Skool and watched as ZIM and Skitt departed, Skitt with her pet parrot on her
head. From the way he had heard it talking, he knew that was her helper of some
kind, like that dog he had seen when he took that picture of ZIM that one time.
He thought as he
began his walk home with Gaz.
It seemed
impossible that another alien could be here. He had a hard enough time trying
to stop ZIM, let alone another Invader. Especially one that was clearly more
intelligent; Dib could sense it in the way Skitt talked.
-
they seem to
walk on air,
and they act pretty strange.
It hadn't been that
short of a time since ZIM had come. Even with the obviousness of ZIM's disguise
and the odd manner in which he acted, no one gave the green 'kid' a second
thought.
-
they live around
us,
but you can't recognize them
Dib stopped on the
sidewalk across the street from his house. It was just as strange as ZIM's
house. That was where Skitt lived? No wonder Melvin wasn't in Skool today, as
that exact site was where he had lived with his family. This house was similar
to one down the block, but the overgrown grass and the creepy red Venus
flytraps made it odder. The huge roof…that was fairly creepy in itself.
Something must be up there…but what? Dib sighed, disgusted. How could his own
race not see the blatant alien-ness of Skitt and ZIM?!
-
we can't
communicate.
with their one way brain.
no matter how you try,
you just can't understand them.
Dib stood outside
for a long while. He stared at Skitt's house, and he took out the black
notebook again. He stared at the word 'Sir.' That must stand for something…
'Slave Inforcement R-…' No, enforcement was spelled with an 'e.'
He shut the
notebook with mounting frustration. He needed to know more about these aliens
before he could save all of Earth. Their ways were very strange. Dib had
concluded from his overhearing of the 'Great Assigning' that their species had
their place in society depending on how tall they are. He thought for a moment.
What else did he know about them? They were called 'Irkens.' Their leaders were
the 'Almighty Tallest.' There wasn't much else he knew that would be of help.

Snapping his
fingers, Dib figured out a way he could study the two 'Irkens.' He would devote
some of his free time to surveying them, maybe even sneaking inside their
houses. He wondered if he should bring a camera, but decided against it. He
didn't want to go through the 'making his brain not smart no more' fiasco
again. It was dangerous, yes, but mankind
depended on his success!
-
and they think
they got it made,
Dib grew spiteful.
"The two 'Irkens.' They think they're so smart," Dib said to himself. "Just
because they have all that alien technology they think that they can take over
Earth. I'll show them!!"
-
they're right,
they're wrong.
Skitt. The newly
arrived Invader out for the place of 'Tyrant of Earth.' Or in this case,
tyrant-ess. She didn't think herself better than Dib; she knew it.
Dib felt queasiness in his stomach, signaling his nervousness to fight the
calm, confident Invader. He knew had read the mentality of the female right,
for she clearly was more equipped to conquer than ZIM
The boy's thoughts
then switched to ones of ZIM. That alien believed himself to be very
superior, when in actually Dib could stop him quite easily… or so it seemed in
Dib's head. ZIM was a bungler of an Invader.
-
and they try to
use our words
but it's a lie.
An Invader's job
was to blend in, obviously. Dib had heard one of the 'Almighty Tallests' say
something similar during the 'Great Assigning.' Even though the two Invaders
threatened the whole of Earth, Dib wouldn't give up, of course not! If you know
anything about Dib, you already knew that!
"No matter what,
the Invaders will be exposed!" Dib yelled to the empty street.
