Zim was coloring in his picture of Earth bursting into flames when a note hit him in the head.

"Who dares throw paper at the almighty ZIIIIIIM?" Zim yelled.

"I did." Tak replied.

"Oh....uh, ok." Zim muttered and looked at the note. It was folded in football fashion and written in the Irken language.

Zim:

What the freak is Courtney doing here? You know I cannot stand her. Did the Tallest send her? Oh this is perfect. I am going to behead her Zim. I really am. Don't write back, I don't think I could deal with the whole..."I like Courtney" denial thing from you.

Tak

Zim smiled. He starting giggling actually. Several of his classmates actually stared at him in amusement. But Zim was giggling like a small school child. He stopped very suddenly however, when Dib started goggling at him. He didn't want to get Dib's attention off of Courtney.

"OW!" Zim, once again was hit with a note. That was once again, written in the Irken language.

Zimmy,

Dib invited me to his house to look at some paranormal notes. This is great! All is going according to plan! Dib doesn't know I'm staying with you. So...I wonder how that'll go.

Courtney

'Great! I can have some time to myself!' Zim thought.

'Wow! Wait till Gaz finds out! A girl is coming to my house! And seeing my paranormal notes! Wow! That's like...awesome.' Dib thought. 'Wait! I need to calm down I can't act like this in front of her. She'll think I'm a dork.'

Dib turned around and stared lovingly at Courtney. Courtney didn't catch it. Zim did. It disgusted it him.

"Filthy stink-beasts and their human emotions." Zim muttered. "Ugh...disgusting."

Tak was also staring at the affectionate look Dib was giving Courtney. 'Oh, that's gross.' She thought. 'Zim looks disgusted also. At least I'm not alone.'

"Doom...that's what the world is filled with." Mrs. Bitters snapped. The bell rung, filling the skool children with hopes for a happier rest of the day. "Go NOW!" Mrs. Bitters ordered, hovering behind her desk.

The children poured out of the classroom. All that was left was Zim, Tak, Dib, and Courtney. Courtney slung her booksack on her shoulder. As soon as she did so, she was grabbed by the wrist and dragged out the classroom door by Dib.

"C'mon Courtney, we've gotta go meet Gaz, my sister." He said excitedly.

Tak and Dib walked out of the classroom together.

"What are you doing back Tak? I thought you were gone." Zim asked.

"I wanted to stay here among the worm babies. They're not so bad y'know." Tak replied. "What's Courtney doing here? I am going to kill her Zim, if she says one word to me."

"Relax, the Tallest sent her. I requested more manpower and the Tallest sent me her." Zim replied. "She doesn't like you much either remember?" He asked.

***Flash Back***

(Wavy lines and Flash Back Music)

A younger Tak and Courtney are sitting together in PreSmeetSkool. Innocently coloring pictures of the planets they are going to conquer when they get older. Zim is behind them throwing paper balls at Skoodge. Courtney needs a red crayon and borrows one from Zim's box.

"HEEEY! WHO DARES TAKES THE MIGHTY ZIM'S CRAYON?!?" Zim raged.

"I did Zimmy." Courtney said innocently.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" Zim yelled blushing.

Tak and Skoodge snickered. "Courtney and Zimmy sitting in a tree."

"I don't like that thing!" Zim yelled. "And don't call me that!!"

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Tak and Skoodge sung together.

Courtney blushed furiously. "You said you wouldn't tell!" Courtney screeched at Tak. She took Tak's drawing and ripped it in half.

"HEEY! THAT WAS MY PLANET!" Tak screamed, torn between crying and yelling. She took Courtney's drawing, balled it up and threw it in the trash bin.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Courtney screeched, and with that she lunged at Tak, pulling one of her curly antennas. Tak gets a crayon and stabs Courtney with it. Zim and Skoodge are seen on the outside watching amazed.

***End Flashback***

(Wavy lines and Flashback Music)

"Ah yes, that brings back good memories." Zim said.

"I should have wrung her scrawny little neck for ripping up my picture....ZIMMY." Tak said acidly, and went in the direction of her base.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!" Zim yelled after her.

Gir: Whats wrong Raven?

Me: I got my braces tightened.

Gir: Oooooh neat. Can I explode?

Me: Whatever

(Gir Explodes)

Zim: What happened?

Me: Gir exploded.

Zim: Ooooh, hey why'd you do the flashback thing? I hated PreSmeechSkool. It sucked.

Me: I thought it was cuuuuuuuuuute! (Ruffles Zim's antennas) ZIMMY...

Zim: Don't CALL ME THAT!!!!
