11/16/01-In honor of THE OFFICIAL INVADER ZIM T-SHIRTS prances around in one of her two new tees until she hits a wall *Ahem* I have decided, in my Zim-high state of insanity, to post another chapter of WtWE. For PICTURES of the NEW OFFICIAL INVADER ZIM T-SHIRTS (can you tell I'm excited?) head on over to Planet Irth, the best little Zim-site on the net! (http://z_questionmark.tripod.com/planetirth/)

Additional notes: Okay, I know I said at the get-go that I would be updating once a week or so. I'm not. I have grown bored with that. I have now decided to update whenever I write a new chapter. I am currently a chapter ahead, but this will keep me writing a lot faster, which is a good thing, ne? Also, it has come to my attention that I apparently wasn't accepting anonymous reviews. I was not aware of this. It has been fixed. On the off chance that there were people who wanted to review but couldn't, it's working again, and thankies in advance. Any reviews you give to me will pleeeeeease Pustulio. Pustulio demands your reviews! Now, tell me the flaws in my house's defenses..... Sorry, got off on a tangent there ^_^. Huge thanks also go out to the people who've reviewed so far! I loveded you guys, I loveded you! Okay, have I bored you to death yet? Do you look like Zim after six straight months of the Doom Song? I'll stop boring you. This chapter is short but I have to admit I'm proud of it. Isn't GIR cute? Bring the pain!

Disclaimer (Don'tcha love these?): Invader Zim belongs to the Almighty Thinnest Jhonen Vasquez, and his army of doom-sporks, and the sentient dust- bunnies at Nickelodeon. Aw, aren't they cute? I do this only out of the deepest respect for the characters and the great, great mind that created them. I mean it. Vasquez, if you're reading...damn you're a genius.

Oh, Dev and Zey, and any other characters NOT from Invader Zim, are mine. If Vasquez wanted to use them he could, but you guys aren't Vasquez, so ask first, please.

Any reviews you give to me will pleeeee-ase Pustulio! Flames will be treated with the same loving care you would expect from Nny, and any survivors will be fed to my pet Velociraptor.

-Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

All I know-

-Chapter Three: GIR-Innocence-

Whee! Lighty bugs! Pretty lights twinkle glow dark to bright, buggies buggies everywhere and not a moose in sight, they're glowing! My tummy glows too, I'm a lighty bug! Hee hee! New-Master let me out to play with the buggies, I Love New-Master, Love her almost as much as...

I'm trying to catch the buggies. I'm going to catch them, see buggies I'm coming! I'm chasing them, all over the green grass, even on the brown grass, I'm chasing them gonna catch them what's that? In the sky in the dark purple and pink and red and green and black and...ships! Not chips, I like chips, sour cream and broccoli chips with dips, the ships are flying still not moving, they're just like the ship that...I can see people in them, if I stretch my eyes out WAAAAAAAAY far, green people with red eyes and purple eyes and brown eyes and all kinds'a eyes but none of them see me, even with all those eyes, why didn't they help?

...I don't like those eyes, I'm going away, don't wanna be around those eyes, bye bye buggies! I'll catch you tomorrow, gonna get food want something to eat, buggies taste good but they're more fun to watch, I love you buggies, food, kitchen, taquitos and spam! Spam spam spam spammy spam, maybe New-Master wants spam, I'm gonna find her, oooooooh, TV! Why's New- Master's Dib-brother on the TV? I like Dib-brother, he's nice, he doesn't visit anymore, why, when he visits he's nice, I remember Dib-brother from before, before Master...before...

I don't like this channel, wanna watch Scary Monkey but he's not on any channel, why? New-Master can tell me, New-Master needs her spam too, time to find New-Master, turn off the TV and go through the rooms, it's dark, I'm gonna sneak up on New-Master, she'll like that! New-Master loves playing games with me I love New-Master, I'm creeping real good, gonna sneak up good she can't hear me, where is she, Noise! New-Master, she's in the bedroom, I'm sneaking up on her she'll never know until I jump up and-

"Done with the lightning bugs?"

How'd she do that? "Aw, I was being a good creeper, how'd you know, I was being so good..."

"You were giggling, GIR." I love it when New-Master smiles, she's so pretty when she smiles, almost as pretty as chocolate covered donuts-fried cyclops, or even cupcakes! What's she doing, packing stuff into her bag, my favorite bag, her pretty black backy-pack that's so nice to hide in, covers my head real good when I play, stuff like shirts and shoes and pants and moose! Mr. Scolex Moose, I grab him and give him a squeeze, he squeaks, happy, Mr. Scolex Moose loves me I love Mr. Scolex Moose-

New-Master's leaving, goin' out the door down the hall to the kitchen? To the down down downstairs, to the lab, Mr. Scolex Moose squeaks again he doesn't like the lab, New-Master's putting more stuff in her bag, metal stuffs, lots of 'em she's going somewhere where's she going? Why's she need that stuffs? "Master, what'cha doin'?"

She looks sad, I don't like it when New-Master's sad, but then she's happy again!

"We're going to see your Master, GIR."

Master?

"YAY!"

Wait...

"Can I wear a hat?"

"...Yes, GIR, you can wear a hat."

"YAY!"

(1) When the World Ends, words and music by Dave Matthews and Glen Ballard, performed by Dave Matthews Band, album Everyday, copyright 2000 Golden Grey Ltd./Universal MCA Publishing. I suggest you all go out and get the album, you won't be disappointed! It's absolutely beautiful and totally unique music. If you've heard 'The Space Between' on the radio (Zim/Dib anyone?) you'll know what I'm talkin' about ^_~.

(2) All quotes taken from 'In the End' by Linkin Park. Album, Hybrid Theory. Unfortunately I don't have the copyright information and such. Please don't sue me. For the most part the lyrics were added AFTER I wrote the chapters. It's almost eerie how closely they fit to the overall theme. Thank goodness for that epiphany, which came at work. It's nice working at a place I can listen to the radio. If you haven't heard this one yet, or 'Crawling', which has also been getting alot of play, you're missing out. It's truly spectacular music, especially if you like it angsty ^_^. Pick up the CD, won't you?
