So begins the next chapter of our epic tale! Zim and GIR are following the hobbits...

GIR: Are we there yet?
Frodo: no...
GIR: Are we there yet?
Frodo: no...
GIR: Are we there yet?
Zim: SHUT UP!!!
Merry, Pippin, and Sam: *stares*
Zim: *points to Sam* You! fat lolligagging one! Where are we?
Sam: We just left the Shire, sir
Zim: DO NOT ADDRESS ME AS SIR!!! I AM TAKING PITY ON YOU AND I AM REPAID WITH INSULTS???HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY MY IRON FIST!!!!!!!
Sam: what did i do...?
Frodo: We're heading to Bree to meet up with a friend of ours
Zim: and who might this "friend" be
Pippin: his name's Gandalf. He's a wizard, and he has the most amazing firecrackers in all Middle-Earth!!!
Frodo: *hits Pippin* we're not supposed to tell people that!
Pippin: what...that he has great firecrackers?
Frodo: no! we're supposed to be undercover!!
Pippin: You make it sound like such a big deal that you have the Sauron's ring and the whole of his army is after you and if Sauron gets the ring back then we're all doomed...oops...shouldn't have said that, should I?
GIR: Yay, we're doomed!
Zim: what would anyone want with a frivilous piece of jewelry?
Frodo: Gandalf says that the ring would give Sauron the power to take over Middle-Earth
Sam: this is all very fun but may I remind you the sooner we get a move on the sooner we can find Mr. Gandalf and be over with this whole mess *walks ahead with the rest of the group following*
Merry: Wish we had some tea to go with these biscuits, eh Pippin?
Frodo: *kicks Merry*
Zim: (thinking to himself) According to the short one, this ring can bring doom down upon everything! If I acquire this ring, the destruction of earth would be easy! My newfound power might enable me to even take over the whole Irken Empire *zim has a mental image of himself standing among a burning Conventia, with the Tallest cowering at his feet*

The scene shifts to Dib's house...

Gaz: DIB!!! YOU DRANK ALL THE SODA AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Dib: I was tracking an alien starship on the roof last night. I needed the caffeine for energy.
Gaz: you think you own all the soda...rrrrgh GO OUT AND BUY MORE
Dib: but Mysterious Mysteries is on...
Gaz: *grabs Dib and drop-kicks him out the door* GO BUY MORE SODA!!!!
Dib: ok ok sheesh *gets up off the sidewalks* Gaz needs serious help...i think she's been playing that GS2 too much again *as he walks toward the store he notices Zim's house is right on the way* maybe i'll stop in for a bit of spying *slinks past the lawn gnomes and opens the door, waiting for the sound of the intruder alarms. After a few minutes of silence he goes into the house and down into the labs. He realizes that by some freak occasion Zim is gone and he's deactivated the security alarms* GAZ!!! GAZ!!!!! *runs back to his house* you won't believe it!!!! Zim is gone!! and he was actually stupid enough the leave the security systems off!!!! Where's my camera? Now is the perfect opportunity to expose him!!
Gaz: You didn't get my soda, did you?
