Jimmy Neutron, Boy RoadKill
Chapter One: Arrival


"I'm home!" chirped a cheerful voice.

"What took you so long, Gir?" Zim scolded as he marched into the hall.

"I was getting cupcakes!!" Gir held up the package of bakey treats, one of which was glowing a bright green.

"Ugh!" Zim spat. "Gir, where did you buy those... things?!"

"At the Magik Sprinkle."

"Well don't go there again. I think that one of your cupcakes is moldy."

"Huh?" Gir opened the package and examined the fluorescent dessert. "Oh, yay! I got the fuzzies!!"

Zim turned purple and threatened to heave. "F...fuzzies? You EAT mold?!"

Gir shrugged. "So? It's yummy."

At that moment, the doorbell rang. Outside, a voice could be heard screaming. "Open up, Zim! You can't hide from me forever!!"

Zim growled. "Dib. Again. Oh, I guess I'll have to chase him off..." Zim hummed happily and pressed a button to launch the defense command on the
lawn gnomes.

Nothing happened.

Zim shook the remote repetedly. "What's wrong with this stupid thing?" He checked the bettery pack. "Wha--- empty?! But... I just changed the electric
modules pack this morning!!"

Gir burped in response.

Zim sighed. "Fine. No big deal. I guess I'd feel better if I took him down WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS!!!" Zim slipped into his disguise and headed out
the door. Having nothing to do, Gir followed.

"Well..." Dib smirked as Zim walked out the door, "It's about time."

"Today, we end this, *Dib*," Zim snarled.

Dib smiled evily in reply. "Good... I've been awaiting this day for a while."

"Cut the small tlak, human. *Now* we get serious."

Zim ran forward and tackled Dib into the street. Furious, Dib brought his back to prepare delivery of a serious blow, but was stopped by a gloved hand.
He sneered and slammed his other hand into Zim's face, falling onto his back. Zim reeled back from the strike and lurched forward to knock his
adversary further into the concrete.

Dib felt his skull being pressed into the road. The pain was unnerving; how was he going to get out of this one?

Suddenly the pressure on his abdomen was lifted, and Dib slowly opened one eye. Gaz was standing above him, holding Zim in the air by his collar.
"Okay Dib, I've had enough of your stupid games. You can play with Zim later, but right now, I WANT MY SODA!!!" She glared at her brother.

Dib stood up and frowned. "But Gaz! This is the fate of the world we're talking about here! Are you going to let *him* take it over?!"

Gaz looked at Zim and snickered. "Sure," she replied sarcastically.

At that moment, Gir squeaked his head in. "Hi, Master! I unwrapped my cupcake." He held up the glowing cake and opened his mouth to take a bite.

"Gir, NO!" Zim said. But before he got the words out of his mouth, Gir had already bitten into the cupcake.

A bright neon green glow emerged from where the cupcake was bitten into, and the four vanished into the vortex.



The next thing Gaz could recall, she landed hard on her rear end.

"What the--- where the hell are we?" She looked around and saw Zim, Dib, and Gir appear out of thin air and fall to the ground.

"I... don't.... know..." Gir said and reached for his cupcake. "Where's my cupcake?!"

"I have it," Zim held up the glowing green dessert in a plastic bubble. "I'm keeping it in here. We'll need this to get home."

Dib scoffed. "So just let him eat it, and we'll get out of here."

"Not so fast, *Dib*," Zim scolded. "There are several other dimensions that we could arrive in. Remember Rocket Beach?"

Dib shuddered. "Unfortunately, yes..."

"Exactly. If we let Gir eat this carelessly, we could end up there again--- or worse!!!" Zim screamed. "That's why I want to analyze the cupcake to see
where we'll end up next."

Din sighed. "I hate to admit it, but that's a good theory."

"Of course it's good!" Zim boasted. "I came up with it!"

"Whatever." Dib took a good look at his new environment. "Where are we, anyway?"

"I don't know..." Zim said slowly. "Everything is all... 3-dimentionalized."

Gaz said nothing, but froze when she turned around. Standing in front of her was a short kid with a big head. He had blue eyes, dumb clothes, and his
hair looked like it came from an ice-cream machine.

She screamed, one of the rare moments she was scared.

Gir, who was bored out of his mind, screamed along with her.

"What is it?!" Zim and Dib screamed as they turned around. They, too, cried out in fear. The boy spoke.

"Hi. I'm Jimmy Neutron!"
