Chapter 5- Plan 'B'

"Here's the plan." Jen began. She, Dib and Gaz were sitting down in a part of her lab, around a circle
metal table. "Tomarow I'll ask Zim for the cure--"
"Yeah! Like that'll work!" Dib scoffed.
"Why can't we just skip that and go strait to Plan 'B'?" Gaz asked.
"Oh Com' on! We've gotta give him a chance! Besides, I'm not nearly as good at changing DNA as
Zim is. There's a huge chance that this wont even work!" Jen explained.
"I've got a better Plan 'A'." Gaz informed them. "I go up to Zim, ask for the cure, and when he doesn't
give it to me I knock his lights out!" She snarled at the table top and made two tight fists as if getting ready to punch
Zim right there. Jen and Dib stared at her for a moment with worried looks.
"Uhh.....maybe we should stick with the first plan." Jen said slowly. Gaz looked up and glared at her, Jen
pretended that she didn't see it. "okay, if Zim says no--"
"WHEN Zim says no...." Dib put in.
"Yeah, when Zim says no, we turn the tables on him!" A smile crossed Jen's face and she turned to Gaz.
"Gaz, you know what to do!"
Gaz continued looking at the table but a flicker of a smile was there. "Stab Zim with the pen. Yeah, I got
it." Dib chuckled a little.
"Good! Remember to make it look like an acident. Zim's not stupid, we don't want him to get suspicious."
Jen warned. Gaz nodded.
"Hey! What do I do in this!?" Dib asked, not wanting to be left out.
"I'll need your help in makeing the pen." Jen replied. Then she turned to Gaz again. "Gaz, we'll need some
of your blood."
Gaz finaly looked up from the table. "Mine?! Why mine?"
"Do you see any other humans in here?" Jen asked sarcasticly, she was still a little mad at Gaz for asuming
that she had changed Dib. And Jen was sick of the glares Gaz kept throwing her.
"Fine." Gaz said. "But after that I get to play your new 'Shrek' game until I've beat all of the mystery players."
"Okay." Jen said with a sigh. "Good luck with the Ginger Bread Man."
"Oh, I think I can handle him."
"Okay! Can we get started now? No offence Jen, but I'm sick of being Irken! i'm suposed to study aliens!
Not be them!" Dib exclaimed. Jen and Gaz smiled.
Zim was in for a BIG surprise!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jen surveyed the playground, searching for Zim. The other kids ran and screamed happily all around her
but her cousin was no where to be seen.
"Where is he?" Jen whispered impatiently. She scaned the playground again. This time she spoted Gaz
who was just sitting down a few yards from the jungle-gym on the other side of the playground. Gaz spread out a few
papers on the black top and two pens. Jen watched her pick up the normal black pen and begin drawing pictures
of pigs and charecters from Game Slave games. The other pen beside her contained a strange shimmering purple
liquid.
Just then Zim walked out the doors of the skool. Jen and Gaz watched him walk over to an out door table,
sit down and began writeing in a yellow note book.
The two girls looked at eachother and nodded once. Then Gaz returned to her drawing of a pig, which wasn't
looking to well because she had other things on her mind at the time. Jen took a deep breath then began walking to
Zim's table. She tried to look casual but she felt like everyone was watching her, even though they weren't.
"Zim? Can I talk to you?" Jen asked when she was standing on the other side of the table.
"Not now, JEN! I have much more important things to deal with right now without talking to YOU." Zim
answered without even looking up.
"This is important!" Jen replied. Zim looked up at her.
"Oh realy?" He asked skepticly. "And what-- may I ask-- is more important than RULEING THE EARTH?!?!"
a few surounding people turned to look at him a moment then continued playing. Jen lowered her voice.
"It's about Dib!" She hissed. Zim smiled evily and his eyes filled with interest.
"Ahh.... and how IS my little creation doing?" Jen glared at him, annoyed.
"Can we talk about this somewhere else?" Jen looked over her shoulder at Gaz, who was watching them.
Then she turned back to Zim. "Come on!"
"Well, I supo-- Hey!" Zim cried as Jen grabed his wrist and began pulling him tward the jungle-gym. Zim
grabed his note book just before it was out of reach. "Let go of me!" he exclaimed as he twisted his wrist free from her
grasp.
"Come on Zimmy!" Jen comanded, still walking. Zim followed only out of curiosity about Dib.
Gaz continued drawing as Jen and Zim drew closer to her post. As soon as they had passed she looked
up again and watched the two Irkens climb to the top of the mess of poles. She droped the normal pen and her hand
closed around the other one.
"Soon." Gaz whispered to herself.
jen and Zim reached the top of the jungle-gym where there was a small platform thing. Jen checked on all
sides before sitting down in front of Zim, near the edge so Gaz would have a clear view of them.
"Dib is fine." jen said as soon as she was seated. Zim's eyes grew with surprise.
"You mean he ENJOYS being Irken?!" Zim cried in disapointment.
"No," Jen answered. "he seems to have gotten used to it a little, but--"
"So he has given up! He admits that I am the greater species!" Zim exclaimed victoriously.
"No! he hasn't given up!" Jen cried, defending her friend. Then a new thought crossed her mind. "Greater
species? What are you talking about? Thanks to you you're the SAME species!"
"Oh, well." Zim shruged, not fazed. "I'm still greater than Dib could ever even dream of being!"
Jen sighed. "Look, Zim, I get the point! You know what you're doing! You're great! You're wonderful! All
hail the all-powerful Zim!" Jen exclaimed sarcasticly. "Now will you just give us the cure?" Zim just smiled smugly at
her.
"Umm..... I don't think so. Now, if you will excuse me, I've got a planet to conquer. Which is more than I can
say for you." Zim said, and with that he began down the wall of bars.
jen glared down at him for a moment over the edge of the jungle-gym top. Then she looked at Gaz, who was
already watching her and waiting. Jen stuck her hand in the air above her head and waved down at Gaz, the signal
to go ahead with plan 'B'.
The corner of Gaz's mouth pulled into a small smile and she waved back. Then she quickly gathered up her papers
and tucked them under one arm. She stuck the normal pen behind her ear and held the other one tightly in the other hand.
If she had set this up right she should colide with Zim and be able to make it look like an acident.
Gaz glanced up at Jen once more then began walking strait ahead. Zim walked strait tward the skool, not
expecting a thing. Gaz grasp the pen tighter so it wouldn't slip out of her hand, which was starting to get sweaty from holding
it for so long. She held it up a little higher, aiming for his shoulder.
"BAM!"
"AHHHHH!" Zim let out a cry of pain. he looked down at his right shoulder, a drop of blood had soaked into
the sleave of his uniform. "You little beast! You will pay for that!!" he screamed looking at Gaz hatefully. She looked back at
him blankly.
"It was an acident." She replied calmly. He glared at her then turned and ran back to his table, as if she
would try to stab him again.
Gaz watched him run and a smile crossed her face.
"Cool!" jen said walking up behind Gaz. "If that works right then he should come crawling back to us
sometime tomarow morning for the cure!"
Gaz looked over at Zim, now writing in the note book again. Then she turned back to Jen and an actual
smile showed up for a moment. "I can't wait."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Inferior human stink-beasts!" Zim muttered. He was standing in the bathroom in the skool, infront of a
mirror trying to put a band-aid over the punchture from Gaz's pen. He was getting fusterated that he couldn't work
a simple human invention. "That little Gaz will pay for this! No human injures an Irken Invader and gets away with it!"
Zim glared at his own reflection then returned to the band-aid. "There! Success!" He cried, finaly getting
the little tan-colored patch to cover the hole. He then bagan walking back to Miss. Bitters classroom.
The other children were just taking there seats after recess when Zim walked in. He smerked at Dib's
empty desk. Then he turned to find Jen watching him from her seat.
"What?" He growled, annoyed with her from there previous conversation. He glared at her and she glared
back without saying a word. But as soon as Zim was sitting Jen's glared turned to a sly grin.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Zim couldn't sleep. Something was wrong. He wasn't sure what, but something just felt....different.
He layed there in the darkness, floating in and out of sleep, trying to convince himself that it was just his
imagination. He kept telling himself that the feeling should stop because Invaders shouldn't use their imaginations!
But no mater what he told himself the feeling wouldn't stop.
Zim tryed to sleep and egnor the wierd sensation spreading slowly through the outside of his body, like it
were in his skin. It was a strangely warm feeling, almost a tingle, dully like when your foot falls asleep. It was comforting.
But just as Zim was finaly nodding off the feeling seemed to soak into him, to the very center of him. It now
felt like it was in every cell. Now he felt like he was going to be sick!
He sat up quickly in his bed, but the quick motion made him dizzy. His room seemed to spin, making the
feeling worse. He fell back on his pillow and groaned in pain. He had never felt so sick!
Then it was gone.
Zim sat up again and looked around. Everything seemed the same, yet different. He threw off his sheets
and examinded his arms and legs quickly. The light from his window cast everything in a blue light, but other than
that blueness everything seemed fine.
Satisfied, Zim layed back down and snuggled under his warm covers again, shrugging the wierdness of
before off. Soon he was fast asleep.
