This chapter is dedicated to Paymon for the great compliment on the chapter
before the last. Sorry, but fanfiction hasn't been sending me the reviews
people send, and I only noticed the review after I posted the new chapter.
I also want to thank everyone else who has reviewed so far.
Paymon, Amethyst Soul, Paranormal Dib, Sorceress Myst, Evie Glacier,
Red Destiny, KittyLover6, Kippixieon, The Pointy Haired Jerk,
and even Chloe the Homicidal Maniac for
two reasons-I feel bad that she wasted her time trying to make me feel bad,
and number two-if she had been the only reviewer to the chapter, that would
still count, and the next chapter would still go up!





Zim stared at the message like it was a death sentance that had arrived in
the mail. Silef leaned over to read the message, and started choking. Zim
crumpled the letter in his hand, and his eye started twitching. Silef
started pounding her head on her desk until one of her fake eyes fell out.
Before anyone could see her, Zim noticed, and pushed her out over the edge
of her seat.

Silef saw the green eye on the floor next to her, and slapped it back over
her real eye, hoping no one saw her. Gaz did. She had been watching since
she threw the airplane at Zim. Gaz started laughing to herself.

"I don't want to hurt you, Zim," she said to herself as Ms. Bitters yapped
away in front of her. "In fact, I'll help you...if Earth is going to be
taken over, I'd rather be part ruler than a slave."

Gaz made another paper airplane, and threw it over at Silef. It hit her right
in the middle of her fake eye, causing it to pop out again. Before opening
the airplane, she put the eye back in, and looked at Gaz with a 'Stop-doing-
that!' look.

Silef unfolded the paper, and read the message to herself. 'Silef, you seem
like one of the cool people. You seem like me. Even if you are an alien.
I want to walk home with you. I have something to talk to you about...if
the weather stays okay. If it rains, just stay the heck away from me. That
goes for Zim, too. Of course, if you have the sense to ASK for what you need,
I might give it to you...just keep your brother away from me when it rains,
at least. I don't trust him.'

Dib finally woke up, now. He shook his head, sat up, and crawled back into
his seat, looking at the two aliens that planned to take over the Earth.
How could no one notice how different they were? Did he really have to make
the chart again? No, even then the dumb kids hadn't listened. His sister
hadn't even believed him. He shot Silef a glare, and Silef, feeling half
sorry for herself, and half angry, gave him a quick innocent look; before
twisting her face into a sneer, and growling.

"Dib!" Ms. Bitters interrupted. "For God sakes, sit down!"

"I just sat down," Dib said confused.

"Then faint again!"

"I'd...rather not..."

"Then go sit outside!"

Gaz, Silef, and Zim snickered as Dib left the room, shouting "I DON'T GET
YOU!" at Ms. Bitters, and slammed the door.

As the rest of the day drawled by, Gaz and Silef kept chucking paper
airplanes at her. Gaz, for some reason, always aimed for Silef's eye. So
after Silef's eye had been popped out twelve more times, Zim finally got
sick of it, grabbed the next paper airplane out of the air before Silef
could get her hands on it, and tore it to shreds. He made an excuse to go
to the bathroom, but only went in the hallway so he could sprinkle the paper
bits all over Dib's head.

"I'll get you, and your sister, alien scum," Dib whispered.

"Never," Zim said. "But please, DO hold your breath!" Zim pointed to a piece
of paper in Dib's hair. "Oh, Dib, you have some kind of larva growing out
of your head."

"What?!" Dib stood up, and started running his hands through his hair
vigorously, trying to get the "larva" out of his hair. "Get it off!"

Zim started laughing at the look of Dib's hair spiking out in all directions.
"Oops, I made a mistake, Dib. Sorry, it was only paper! But really, keep
your hair like that. Tree branch hair makes you look like a nerd...I mean,
you are a nerd, but bush hair suits you perfectly!"

A scream that could be heard throughout school blasted from Zim's classroom.

"School's over! Now get out of my class, and get on with your miserable, and
pathetic lives! DIE, STUDENTS, DIE!!!"

Gaz stepped out of the classroom playing her Game Slave. Without even looking
at Dib, she sneered, and walked by him. "Brush your hair Dib. I don't want
people thinking I'm related to a moron...wait, I am."

Zim pointed at Dib, and howled with laughter.

"Uh...Zim," Silef said, "it's really not THAT funny." She ran down the
hallway to meet up with Gaz, and jumped in front of her. "GAZZY!"

Gaz stopped dead in surprise, and threw her Game Slave over her shoulder. It
took her about ten seconds, after twitching, to realize it was only Silef.
"If you ever do that again, I swear, I will..."

"Calm down, Gaz, it's just me! If anything, I should be the one who's
freaked out of YOU! Two aliens, two people who know who, and what we are!
What do you expect me to be? Calm? Yeah! Right!"

Gaz picked up her Game Slave, and with great effort, put it away. "I get
what you mean. Just don't touch my Game Slave again."

Gaz and Silef turned behind them, when they heard Zim screaming at the top
of his lungs, and saw him running down the hallway with Dib after him. He
jumped behind Silef, grabbing her shoulders to use her as a shield against
Dib. Dib did the same thing for Gaz. They both started pushing the two girls
so they could be safe from each other.

"Oh yeah, really nice," Silef said, as Zim veered her off to the left. "Using
your sister as a shield."

"Don't worry," Gaz said. "I've been waiting to do this." Gaz balled her hand
into a fist, and slammed Dib hard in the face over her shoulder.

Dib staggered backwards. "I think I'm going to...lay down..." He fell to the
floor with a thud.

"Good one." Silef and Gaz stepped outside, but didn't get very far. Zim
jumped in front of them, and screamed loudly in Silef's ear. "You're just
going to leave me here alone? Dib'll kill me when he comes to without you
with me!"

Silef rolled her eyes. "How is that different from any other day?" She pushed
Zim out of the way, and walked away from the school with Gaz. "Later, loser."
They walked to the sidewalk before one of them even said anything. "So, what
did you want to say?"

"I don't care that you're an alien," Gaz said, looking up at the sky, and
making sure it showed no sign of rain. She lowered her eyes, which were
actually open for a change. "Actually, to make things better, I totally hate
my brother. If the Earth is going to be taken over, I'd rather help, than
be pounded to a pulp...no, that's what I DO to people."

"So, what exactly is your point?"

"I want to help!" Gaz's eyes opened even wider, and she grabbed Silef by her
shirt collar, shaking her. "I...want...to...help...you...take...over...the...
world! World will be mine...ours! Besides that, Dib will be so angry at me."

"Okay," Silef said. "I'll have to talk to Zim about this...sure, he's a
terribly annoying little brat, but I can't just INVITE someone to come and
rule the world." Silef paused, and looked up at the sky. "They'd hate me up
there."

By now, they were in front of Zim's house. Silef was surprised he wasn't
home yet, since he had been so crazy about getting home quickly, and safely.

"Come inside," Silef said. "When Zim gets home we can talk to him about this.
I tell you, he's not going to believe you. He practically fainted when you
sent him that paper airplane. I mean," Silef raised her voice, "what kind of
moron believes that a human wants to help it take over a planet?!"

Gaz paused, trying to think of the best way to say this without being to
rude. "Um...you, do, Silef."

Silef was still for a moment, before she continued yapping away. "I didn't
say that. Just forget I said that. That never happened. Now do not touch
anything, and I will be right back, or my little android thing will hate me."
She started to walk over to the lab entrance. "Don't touch anything! If Zim
gets home, hide somewhere!"

Silef left for Zim's lab, where Gir was getting Gir2 hooked on "The Scary
Monkey Show", eating a mountain of cupcakes. Gaz stood by the window, to see
if Zim was about to come inside. So far, no one was coming. Had Dib gotten
Zim? Gaz stepped back from the window. "Um...Silef?" She turned around, and
tried to find out which way she had gone, when she heard the doorknob twist.

Gaz tripped over her own feet, and started scrambling around the house to
find a place to hide. After an episode of crashing into walls, Gaz just
closed her eyes, and ran around the house, seeing if she could just run into
a closet.

The next thing Gaz knew, she was in front of a cupcake mountain, with the
TV blasting from a few feet away. Gaz ran past the mountain, and saw Silef
tearing Gir2 away from the TV.

"Gaz!" Silef said, dropping Gir2. She had heard panting. "How did you get
down here?"

"Closed...eyes...ran..." Gaz regained her sanity, and panted. "He's...home."
