Writing this fanfiction, so called "insert title here" (heh), one of the readers have once told me that Zim, in my writing, is acting too violent then usual. SO! I dedicate this one to such viewers like her. THANK YOU! I love you.

[ c h a p t e r - f o u r ]

It was another fine day. Monday. Everybody loves Monday! Why....it's when schools start! Mr. Sunshine was laughing as usual, while our favorite neighborhood's friendly little alien, Zim, comes skipping out from his cute little tacky house of his.

"Good morning, little birds! How is your morning? Why, hello, Mr. Sun! Keep up the good work for us today. It's Monday!"

Today, Zim was feeling very happy. He's always happy, but today was special. He was wearing his very new clothing he just made by hand. It was pink with cute little laces and ribbons laced in at the edges.

"Have a great day, Master!" His loyal companion, GIR, came out after him as he waved his paw sweetly. Touched, Zim made himself up to GIR, patted his green doggy-head and kissed his cheek good bye. As he continued his way to school, everybody looked up and waved over to the precious green Irken Invader, and started to sing along. For some reason, everybody knew the lyrics to the song that they never sang. It was like being in a Disney movie.

"Since it's such a fine day today, perhaps I should pick some flowers for my dear class mates! Oh, yes, yes!"

Stepping off from his usual trail, Zim skipped into a meadow full of pink tulips, roses, and many many pretty flowers.

"Hmmm....oh, this one looks just gorgeous! Perhaps I should pick this one for my bestest best friend, Dib."

Bending over, his fingers wrapped around the flower as he picked it, then....

"OH MY GOSHIES! I JUST KILLED A FLOWER! A LIVING FLOWER!!!!!"

Realizing his foolish violent act, Zim started to tremble in shock, shame, and fear. A red liquid started to trickle from the flower, painting Zim in red, his new pink clothing getting stained.

"...what have I done....?! No....no....NOOOOOO!!!!"

The blood soaked scream of the invader seemed to echo through the darkness forever......

f i n

(Okay. Now I can get back on my normal story. Yay? .....I kinda liked that happy-kinda feeling in the story above, though....)

Everybody's looking. Staring. Glaring. Laughing.....

"...no. Do they know?"

Zim lowered his eyes as he continued to walk to Skool the next morning. After that night, it felt as if everybody, every living thing was staring at him, scolding him about the acceptation of Dib's friendship. As if they are the spies of Irkens, glaring at the fact that Zim has "betrayed" them.

But of course, no one's taking any mind of him. It was just him. All in his little paranoid mind. He kept looking down to the ground as he continued to walk, trying to avoid eye contact as stopped, feeling a sense that someone was watching him. He slowly turned around, slightly feeling the sweat starting to form on his skin. Warily, he glanced down to the side walk, then gasped aloud, seeing a small Chihuahua dog looking up at him with his huge maddening eyes.

"...noooo!!!"

He quickly made himself turn back around, starting to dash away from this dog, crying out something insanely. He huffed, jumping over fences, knocking down trash cans and rushing through the shadows, he stopped, noticing he came to a dead end. He looked about with wild eyes, every shadows looking like an accusing aliens, every sound sounding like their screams and laughter.

"No! No! You don't understand!!...I...I am ZIM!"

He almost jumped up in fright as something black came jumping up at him, landing in front of the nervously sweating green figure.

"What are you doing, Zim?"

When Zim opened his tightly shut eyes, his face stiffened at the sight of Dib. Without realizing himself, he quickly dashed over to the back of Dib, as if he was a shield of some sort and glanced around. As he sighed in relief, he looked to Dib, then quickly pushed him away, and started to walk off with unpleasant look.

"Ahh...hey, wait up, Zim!" Dib yelled over, catching up with his green class mate. "...'frieeend'..."

Zim twitched at the sound of that and paused his walk, directly glaring at Dib. Did anyone else hear Dib call him "friend"?

Checking that all was clear from foreign ears, he looked away from Dib and pointed his lightly shaking finger at him. He opened his mouth, trying to find a word to shout out at Dib, but nothing came up.

"....so...," Dib made a face, not sure what was wrong with him, but he knew the word 'friend' annoyed Zim very much. He smiled lightly at that note, continuing to walk with Zim again.

"I was thinking, Zim...would you like to come over to my house after school?"

"WHAT!?"

Zim looked up at Dib with bulged out eyes, his side of his mouth pulled over to the left with his teeth gleaming under the lips. As he looked at Dib in such way, his whole body seemed as if it'll just jump up and attack Dib, but then he started to throw himself out into the opening and started laughing, as if Dib just said the greatest joke in the world, or killed himself.

"Ahh, Dib," he said, lightly fanning himself after the stomach-aching laugh. "...of course! Nonsense! Why would I go visit any of you unworthy human's little....nest? You and your...'cute' little ideas."

Zim just smiled, confidently walking now as Dib just stood there, blinking then glared over to the green guy and ran up in front of him.

"You are COMING to my house, Zim. And we're gonna have a great time at my house...," he seemed to spit those words out through his clenched teeth, yet he seemed to be smiling evilly.

"MOVE OUT THE WAY, HUMAN! I don't have to listen to your stupi-....YIKYAA!"

As Dib was yelling, a speck of his spit seemed to jump into Zim's red eyes. The water of the spit lightly started to sizzle through his eye balls, as Zim scratched them.

Dib laughed out aloud this time, placing his hands over his stomach. He adored how Zim pitifully panicked just by a small drop of his spit. HIS spit. Ohh...the power! Before Zim can even yell back at Dib, he took the chance and opened his mouth again.

"Oh, I dunno, Zimmy Zim Zoo. It's your choice if you wanna come or not, but then again...you don't want me to tell anyone that we're friends now, do ya? Huh? Huh? ...huh?"

"...NO! No, you mustn't!"

The black haired child grinned like maniac as he moved away before the half blinded alien can jump onto him. Zim seemed to crash into the ground as he missed Dib, then slowly pushed himself back up, then glared up at Dib in silence. Back at school, the warning bell rang over the school ground, as the glass windows cracked and scattered by the rusty noise. It seemed as if the bell was kinda broken today, as the kids who were already inside and around the school were injured, as they fell to the ground and moaned in pain.

"C'mon, Zim. We don't want to be late for classsssssss...! Hee!"

Dib held up a hand to Zim, who just hissed and ignored, but he simply smiled, running up to a door, opening it for Zim. Zim just growled under his breath, then marched inside with Dib starting back at him. A little kid, thinking Dib will hang around and keep the door open for her, too, came skipping up the stairs. But before Dib can take notice of her, he stepped inside, closing the door as she was caught between the door, screeching.
