Dib was very confused by what he saw.
Dib: A tornado? Attacking the city? It doesn't make sense! What would a tornado be doing in this part of the country?
Dib looked closer and was shocked to find an Irken ship at the center of the tornado.
Dim: Zim... He must be controlling it! I should have known.
Zim, and Gir, inside the safety of the ship, laughed at Dib.
Zim: Ha, Dib! You'll never be able to escape my tornado machine! And once I have taken care of you, I'll unleash spooky meteorological doom on the whole planet!
Dib: You'll never get away with this, Zim!
Unfortunately, Dib couldn't think of any way to stop his rival at this point. The best he could do would be to escape until Zim stopped the machine and he could actually stage a counterattack. Dib ran to the Membrane house and towards the 'Membrane Super-Deluxe Shelter' in the backyard. However, it was locked; his dad and Gaz must have gone in when they saw the tornado. Desperate, Dib ran into his house and waited out the tornado in his room. Upon looking down, he noticed the chihuahua, who had continued to follow him for some strange reason.
Dib: What are you doing here? Why don't you go home?
Dib looked out the window.
Dib: Well, I guess you can stay in here for now... But you'll have to leave once things get back to normal!
Dib went over to his bed just as the window had become dislodged from the force of the storm. It hit Dib's head (because it would be hard to miss a target so big), and Dib had been knocked out for a second. When he finally came to, Dib looked out the window. He was amazed to find that his house was inside the tornado itself. Several people he knew flew past. Gaz, who must have not made it into the shelter after all, was playing her game slave, seemingly unconcerned that she was caught in a tornado. Dib had to stifle a giggle as he saw Zim and Gir, who had apparently lost control of the ship, fly past. Finally, he saw his teacher, Ms. Bitters, looking even scarier than usual as she rode on her bike... or was that a broomstick?
After some time in the air, the house began to descend, eventually fallling to the ground with a crash. Dib decided to investigate, and, taking the chihuahua with him, walked outside. What he saw astounded him. For one thing, the surroundings were colorful again; Dib glanced at himself and was happy to see that he was in color, and no longer black and white, or a series of browns, or whatever. In addition, the town that he had landed in was like nothing he had seen before. The tiny houses and plants looked almost like something out of a storybook. In the center of the scene, Dib could see the beginnings of a road as it spiraled out from the town square.
Dib: I don't think we're on Earth anymore...
Dib looked at the dog.
Dib: I guess this means I'll be stuck with you for a while.
