Okay, I know that by writing this fic I invoke the wrath of EVERY DIB FANGIRL ON THE PLANET, but that's a risk I'm going to have to take. We read this story in English class, and I thought, You know, this wouldn't be that bad if I rewrote it...So no, I don't own this story. It was written by Mr. Tom Godwin, author of The Space Barbarians and Beyond Another Sun. Don't sue. I don't even have enough money for my manga collection.

Now, to understand the whole conflict in this story, you have to open your imagination and assume some things. One, it could be considered somewhat...slashy. Normally I strongly dislike ALL Z/D slash, but the setting is just too perfect in this story. Besides, you don't even have to take it that way. Another thing-this story is set to take place after the rest of my fics, meaning that Zim and Dib are not enemies anymore. More like someone you fight with all the time, but would hate to lose. A brother, if you will. ^^ Okay, now that I've thoroughly scared you all, please continue to the next chapter to begin the story.
