"Dib! Get out of bed now!! It's almost time for school!!"

Dib woke up with a start and rubbed his head. He had cut the side of his face climbing back up the tree. It had been a long night.

He pulled himself out of his bed, got dressed and stumbled down the stairs.

When Dib went outside Gaz was already down the street. "Hey Gaz! Wait up!" He yelled after his sister.

She stopped and he caught up with her. "What happened to your face?" Gaz asked without taking her eyes off of her GS4.

Dib hesitated, but than he realized it didn't matter what he told her, she wouldn't care.

"I snuck out of the house and when I came back I cut my face on the tree outside my window."

"Oh."

After he had gotten home from Zim's base the night before, he had spent the best of two hours in front of the mirror thinking. He didn't know what to think. He was torn between, disappointment in himself, horror at what he had done, and... relief that the burden of the world wasn't on his shoulders anymore.

-------------------------

Zim almost skipped as his walked to high skool. Visions of the humans' soon-to-come doom flashed in his mind. He had placed a germ bomb in the skool cafeteria earlier that morning. It had gone off an hour ago contaminating the horrible stink children's skool food.

"I almost feel sorry for them" thought Zim. "Wait a minute.. no I don't!"

"MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" laughed Zim out loud.

Across the street a man in a lawn chair lowered an eyebrow.

-------------------------

*RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGG*

The bell rang at the end of Health and Nutrition. Dib grabbed his books and headed towards the Cafeteria.

"Move it loser." someone said behind Dib rudely and pushed him down. Dib's glasses flew off his head.

Half-blind Dib stumbled to the locker his glasses had landed near. After feeling around the floor he found them and placed them on his head.

The locker door swung open and whacked Dib on the nose.

"Oh sorry Dib... I didn't see your over-sized head." Dib looked up.

"Zim."

"I wanted to thank you human stink, because of you I will soon claim the world as mine." Zim said coldly.

Dib narrowed his eyes and went to the cafeteria with his head down. He knew Zim was right but he didn't want to think about it.

Dib sat at the same table he always did. The one farthest back with only one other person, Gaz.

Dib hadn't bothered to bring a lunch, he wasn't hungry.

He watched as the rest of the children got in line and bought lunches. They were diving right into their own destruction.

Dib had a sudden urge to jump up on the table and tell everyone that Zim had poisoned the food.

But there were a few things wrong with that plan.

First off he'd get in trouble. Second, no one would believe him. And thirdly they deserved it.

The last thought sickened him.

As the students got their lunches and sat down with them Dib kept thinking, No! Don't eat them! It will poison you!

But he just sat there and did nothing.

-------------------------

Zim sat down at the first table he saw and glanced around at the students greedily stuffing their faces. He smiled a smile that would reach ear to ear, that is if he had ears.

He imagined how wonderful the rest of the day would be. By the end of the skool day the children would all be sick. They would spread the sickness to their teachers and friends who hadn't gotten skool lunch and than later to their parents and siblings. Than their siblings would spread it to their friends and so on and so on. Than Zim imagined the transmission he would send to the Almighty Tallest. They would be trilled about his success and soon the Irken armada would come and take over the planet. The world would belong to Irk and Zim would be praised as one of the greatest invaders of all time!!

Zim began laughing under his breath and unable to contain himself he laughed out loud. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHHAHAHA-"

The entire cafeteria stopped talking and stared at Zim.

"HAHAHA.." Zim glanced around and stopped laughing, "Ahem." He folded his hands on the table.

The students began talking again.

-------------------------

Dib's next class was Gym. Dib sat on the bleachers wearing his blue and yellow PE uniform. He watched the others playing basketball, any minute now and they'd be dropping like flies.

"Uh, Teacher? I don't feel very good..." said a small boy with his arms folded in front of his stomach.

"Nonsense, Sean! You look fine." said Mr. Been the PE teacher who turned Sean around and pushed his forward.

"No really I.." Sean fainted.

Before Mr. Been could do anything the rest of the PE class started to hold their stomachs and fall over.

In panic Mr. Been looked all around the room in search of someone, anyone, who wasn't sick who could help him. His eyes fell on Dib.

"Derk! I'm-"

"My name is Dib." Dib said without changing his expression.

"Whatever, you have to go and get the nurse and bring her here."

"Alright,"

Dib walked out of the gym and walked down the hallway. He knew getting the nurse was hopeless. He was sure she was already busy with everyone else. As Dib walked he glanced into the windows of the classrooms. Every single one was the same. A class full of sick students and a panicking teacher.

Dib wondered why Zim hadn't bothered to contaminate the teachers' food, but than he realized that they'd be sick too soon enough.

When Dib finally go to the Nurse's office the first person he saw was Gaz. "Gaz? Are you sick too?" Dib asked her.

"No, my teacher sent me. I was the only one in class that wasn't sick." She replied. Than he remembered that Gaz hadn't eaten anything that day either.

A sign on the nurse's office door said 'Please wait, the nurse is busy'. Gaz and Dib both took a seat in the hallway next to two other children.

They could heard screams and groans coming from everywhere in the skool. "Pfft, whiners..." muttered Gaz under her breath.

Five minutes later Gaz was playing her GS4 and Dib was nervously pulling on a string from his coat, both were still waiting for the nurse. Someone came walking down the hallway.

The person was walking slowly with a huge grin on his face. At first Dib couldn't tell who is was but-

"Zim?"

But before Zim could reply the nurse came out of the office looking extremely worn out. "Are you children sick too?"

"No, our teachers send us. Everyone in our classes are sick." Dib explained.

The Nurse looked at the children with annoyance. "Tell me something I don't know, the entire school is sick! You are probably the only students that aren't. You must be immune or something-"

"Of course not!" interrupted Zim nervously. "I am A PERFECTLY NORMAL child!!! I am just like all others humans! heh heh heh..."

The Nurse gave Zim a weird look. "Anyway, if you kids aren't sick leave before you get it, skool is over."
