Invader Zim is own by their respected owners not by me, bla bla bla.

Earth

Dib laid on his roof gazing at the thousands of twinkling stars above, wondering which one Zim was terrorizing that very second. He had been bored out of his mind that month since Zim had left in the summer. He had mostly been working on new plans to capture Zim or expose him to the world as the little alien scumbag that he was. He couldn't wait to try them out when he came back. A sly smile came to his face. Finally the world would know that he wasn't crazy. Then smile faded. But they wouldn't care now would they? He wouldn't have to be the lone savior of the earth if somebody else would just open their eyes and look. No. They were to busy deciding which cloths they would wear, or which person they would torment next. He constantly asked himself why. Why did he want to waste his time saving people that weren't worth saving? People that mocked him, people that didn't care about the fate of their own planet. If only they for once would look at the world around them, and see what he saw. Then they wouldn't call him crazy anymore. Dib sighed. 'Maybe I am crazy?' he thought. It would make sense, he was the only one that saw the world the way it was, or the only one who cared. Maybe the human race had evolved to block out everything that wasn't "normal". And when they did see the unexplained, they would deny it, prosecute it, or even try to destroy it. He had 't had any real friends, only Gaz when she didn't feel like evoking her wrath on him. But what were people anyway? He didn't need anybody. He would make sure that they would remember Dib. "They will all remember..." he said as he dozed off under the blanket of stars.

Back on Irk

Zim tucked Lilly into his bed, and he plopped down beside her. He closed his eyes and listened as GIR crawled next to him. His eyes were so heavy, he knew that he needed to take care of Lilly first. But he couldn't bring himself to pry his eyes back open. He could feel himself sinking into sleep, like he was being pulled into the comfort of his bed. Lilly nestled herself close to him, attracted to his warmth. Zim smiled slightly and stroked her perfectly curled antenna. 'How am I going to take care of you? How did I get myself into this mess first of all.' he thought to himself. GIR crawled up onto his head, reminding him what got him into "this mess". Zim sighed, to tired to push the little robot off, so he let him remained perched on his big green head. Silence soon gave way to GIR's slight snoring and Lilly's light breathing. HE wondered why GIR snored when he didn't really need to breath. Zim smiled weakly, to tired to really show any emotion. Soon he too was pulled into sweet the unconsciousness of sleep through the slight hum of the simulated stars above.

The next eve, Lilly rubbed her tired eyes and opened them slowly. The room was still dark, and a bit lonely. She curled up closer to Zim. As her eyes focused in the darkness, she noticed that a faint light was coming from above. She looked up in wonder at the hullo-simulation of Irk's night sky watching down on her. Her deep blue eyes wide with wonder, she stared at the millions of tiny specks sparkling mysteriously, calling her name. She reached her tiny hands to touch the stars, but they were to far to grasp.

Zim smiled as he watched her, remembering how he used to do the same when he was only a few days old. "There're pretty, yes?" Lilly looked back with a sad look, not being able to touch them. Zim got up and stretched his limbs thinking of the new night's celebrations. "Crap! What the hell am I going to feed you?" Zim's tone quickly changed.

Lilly looked back and smiled. "Food." She said sweetly

Zim looked closer at her. "I'm glad you learning how to speak words other then Zim. Do you know what food you eat." Lilly shrugged. "Great. Well lets see how you react to adult food." Zim walked out of the room, forgetting that GIR was still on his head. Lilly heard Zim yelling after he had accidentally woken the little robot up. GIR happily skipped back into the room and sat on the bed next to Lilly. Zim returned with a bump on his head and food for both of them. He glared at GIR who only smiled back unknowing to what he did wrong. Zim sighed and sat on the other side of Lilly who eagerly awaited this new experience called food. He gave her something that looked like a granola bar and she smiled thankfully. She looked down at the silver wrapped treat then looked back at Zim. "What?" Zim asked and he was about to unwrap his meal. Lilly stared confused, the tried to shove her food in her eye. As she did this she squeaked in pain every time she poked the bar in her eye trying to eat it. Zim shook his head. "No Lilly you put it in you mouth." Lilly seemed astonished at this news. It suddenly all made sense to her so she bit down on the rations that Zim had given her. But it was still wrapped, making it hard to bite off a chunk. "No, no, no. You take that shinny thing off, like this." Zim pulled back his wrapper, showing her as an example. Lilly studied this action carefully and repeated the act perfectly. Then she ate, and gagged. Zim calmly patted her back and helped her swallow the food. She threw the rest of the bar on the floor and hid behind Zim.

"Awwwww, baby don't like her food. I'LL MAKE HER TACOS" GIR screamed.

"No, GIR. She just doesn't know how to swallow yet. She's very strange. Most Irken babies can survive on their own from day one. And she can't even swallow her own food." Zim got up from his sleeping unit and picked up the bar. "You need to eat Lilly, your survival depends on it. Now bite and chew." Zim commanded sternly as her held the bar to her face. And she obeyed. This time with success. She snatched the bar away and ate it greedily. She found out that this food made that empty feeling in her insides go away. Zim sighed and went to make her a uniform. Seeing that she was a special Irken he would make her a uniform with different colors. He etched the sizes and style that the outfit should be into the computer. The computer spout out the exact commands of a neatly pressed blue and purple Irken Invader Uniform. He smiled proudly and went to put it on Lilly. He found her on the floor chewing the wrapper. He took the wrapper out of her mouth and wrestled the uniform on her. She looked back angrily at Zim, these clothes she found very uncomfortable and they restricted her movements. Zim ,on the other hand, felt a warm glow inside. Lilly already looked like a young lady in her uniform, ready to start destroying the unsuspecting humans of earth. She was not impressed. She started pulling her dress off. "Lilly! You have to keep you uniform on. You can't walk around naked."

"But I walk around naked." GIR said confused.

Zim sighed and picked Lilly up off the ground. "Come on. Lets go. I don't want to miss anything this Nioxina. I think you'll like it Lilly." Lilly still mad about her uniform, looked at Zim with that cute pouty look that little kids give you. "Your acting like a stubborn earth child." Zim snapped.

Lilly's eyes popped open with curiosity. "Earth?"

Zim realized his mistake. He ignored her, and walked out the door to the new nights celebrations.

Later that night

Zim and Lilly watched the lights below from the observation deck . Shadows danced around the warm fires and the smell of meat hung in the air. They had such a great night. Everyone loved her, some girls wanted to play with her. Lilly learned all new experiences, such as music, and dancing. She was sad to see that Zim always just watched from the sides and never joined the fun like GIR did. She was amazed at all these new encounters and feelings, but they all flooder her at once. She was to afraid to stray from Zim's side for to long. Soon she grew tired. Zim saw this and took her to one of the observation decks. There they sat for the rest of the night. She munched happily on the slab of dead animal flesh she was given.

Zim smiled at her and looked up. Lilly followed his example, as she always did. A piece of meat fell out of her mouth as she stared up at the sky. They were even more beautiful then the stars at home. She stood up and walked to the railing, climbing on it to reach the shinny specks. She stretched out her tiny little fingers as far as they would go. Zim looked down where she was sitting before, only to see the remains of the half eaten meat. He looked around for her, nearly jumping out of his skin when he found her hanging from the railing. Zim rushed over to her as she slipped off the railing. Zim dove and snatched her by her boot nearly falling off himself. She looked down at the dark streets hundreds of feet below, swaying gently side to side. Zim felt her boot slipping off her foot, he panicked and threw her behind him, leaving him a free arm to pull himself back onto the balcony. Lilly tumbled not to far from the railing. She picker her self up and started to cry. A horrible death glare came from Zim, he walked over to Lilly and looked down at her angrily. She didn't seem to notice, she kept on crying in her hands. "What? What's the matter?" Zim asked impatiently.

She wiped her tears away and looked up to the sky again. "Why?"

"Eh?"

She looked at Zim with watery eyes. "Why so far?" She pointed up.

"Lilly, you can't touch them, there billions of miles away. Even if they were closer, you still can touch them. There huge balls of fiery gas and molten lava. You would burn up if you got within a few miles of one's surface." Zim said as he picked her up. Lilly looked at him confused. Zim tried to think of an example, when he saw the sun starting to rise. "Our sun is a star. Each star is like our sun, only they look different because those ones are so far away."

"Not fair." Lilly said sadly.

Zim sighed. "There still pretty to look at. They said that primitive earth monkeys used the stars to guide them home from sea."

Lilly perked up, "Earth?"

"Forget it, Lets find GIR and go home."

Wow, that ending sucked. Man I'm tired. Well I hoped you like it, there wasn't much point to this chapter I know but I thought it was cute so tough.
