I finally have a new story. Aren't you all glad? It has been quite a while since I did anything but add on to "Choose Dib's Fate." I hope you all like it.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the plot.

(Dib is in his room, lying on his bed, as Professor Membrane walks in.)

Dib: (Groans)

PM: What's wrong son?

Dib: (Sits up immediately) Nothing dad, I'm fine.

PM: You don't look fine. I think you should stay home from skool today.

Dib: That's okay dad, I can go to skool.

PM: No, no, if you're sick you'll have to stay home.

Dib: But, but, but-

PM: No more buts. I won't have you infecting the other children.

(Professor Membrane leaves, as Gaz enters.)

Gaz: I was listening. I guess I'll finally be walking to skool alone today.

Dib: He doesn't understand. I NEED to go to skool. If I'm not there, Zim could do all sorts of evil, and there would be nobody to stop him.

Gaz: Do you really expect Zim to conquer the planet in a single day?

Dib: It's possible. And, even if he doesn't conquer the planet, it would certainly give him a head start.

Gaz: You worry too much. If I had the opportunity to stay home from skool, I would.

Dib: You're not trying to save the earth.

Gaz: You are wasting your time. Zim is hopeless, why can't you see that?

Dib: We don't really know what he is capable of.

(Gaz sighs and leaves the room, leaving Dib alone.)

Dib: I CAN'T stay home. I have my obligations to humanity!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to be so short, my computer erased it and when I rewrote it I couldn't remember everything I had before. I am pretty sure the other chapters will be longer. I hope you guys liked the beginning. Thanks for reading, and PLEASE review. =)
