Purple did not open his eyes immediately as he woke up. He was simply enjoying laying
here too much to get out of bed today. Red could wait ten more minutes for breakfast. The room
was quiet, except for the sounds of electrical signals, computers, and breathing close to his head.
Yes, all was peace- ELECTRICAL SIGNALS COMPUTERS BREATHING?!!!
Purple's eyes shot open, a look of complete shock on his face. He did not move, afraid of
what might happen when he did. He tried to recall everything that needed recalling. 'Tallest nooo
not Tallest anymore long trip Red's my friend nonono he's not oh where am I where am I I I I
landed on EARTH!!!'
His mouth dropped open. Earth was nothing to him. Earth was an empty little planet with
stupid little inhabitants. How did he know about Earth? Well of course he knew about it from-
"OH, MY TALLEST MOST TALLEST PURPLE YOU'VE FINALLY COME I KNEW
YOU WOULD COME I REALLY KNEW-" Zim's face was suddenly two inches above
Purple's, and Purple was scared beyond shrieking in horror. Zim continued, "-GIR, didn't I
know? I told you they'd come, did I not?!"
"Erghh. . . nofoo didnuh!" mumbled GIR through a mouthful of pie.
Purple sat up very quickly. "Get out of my face, Zim!"
"Get in your face?"
"Get out of my face!"
"Get in your face?"
"Get out of my face!"
"Get in your-"
"NO! No, Zim. Just, y'know, just calm down. I AM taller than you, and I have
questions!"
"You have answers for me?!"

". . . and that's how the food processor caused the downfall of the entire Lorg-Sploot
civilization!" Zim finished his long, detailed story full of adventure and excitement.
"Um. . . what does that have to do with how I got here?" asked Purple, confused.
"Eh?" questioned Zim.
"I only asked how I got here in your labs. Your UN-TALL labs." He looked around.
"Very un-tall indeed, Zim."
"Well, I, uh-"
"VERY, VERY un-tall!"
Zim blinked. "Of course, my Tallest-" (Purple winced,) "-I will work on increasing my
lab's. . . . TALLNESS!"
"See that you do!"
"Eh. . . right! TALL! Got it! Taallll. . . heh. ANYWAY! After I woke up, I brought you down
here cuz, y'know, you're all TALL and NEAT and stuff!" Zim grinned.
"Eh, good! Goood. Yesss. . . ." Purple looked around. "Well, I'm sure you've got some
food somewhere around here, huh? Like the squishy cupcakes mommy made? Waitaminnit, I
don't have a mommy."
"How sad," remarked Zim.
"Yes, well, IF I'd had a mommy, I'm sure she would have made some seriously SQUISHY
cupcakes."
GIR replied, "Mommy says da girlsies like me cuz I'ma justa LUUVVV machine!!"
"GIR! The time for silence is NOW!" cried Zim. "Do you not seeee that I am talking with one
of my Almighty Tallest?"
Purple cleared his throat. "See, Zim, about that. . ."
