This chappy is a little confusing. Zim and Gaz (Who are a policeman and an Irken) Are playing a practical joke on Dib. It's going a little far, just cuz I love dramatizing. Also, when you are done with this story, you must all go read stories by QOTSAfreak. Amazing author, seriously.

Zim followed close behind Gaz and Dib. They were both walking funny. After a few moments, he realized they were both attempting to imitate him. HA! The human skeletal system was unable to replicate his walk. He had studied it extensively.

But it was still most amusing to watch them strutting along. Dib trying to be him, Gaz trying to be Irken. Why exactly Gaz had asked Dib if he was Zim, Zim didn't know. Even more confusing was why Dib had said yes. And now they were heading back to the base. He hoped they didn't go into the labs without him…

He could hear what they were saying, the result of an audio link between the two PAKs. He listened with intrest as Gaz fabricated an amazing story of her own.

"Good. We need to prepare the coming invasion."

"… Invasion?"

"Don't play stupid Zim. We've been working this out for months. The armada is coming."

"Ah, of course. The armada. When is it estimated to arrive?"

"Zim, are you alright? The armada is coming tonite, Zim. We've been through all of this. The soldiers won't be noticed tonite, because of the holiday." Gaz took Dib's hands, her voice raising. She sounded truly joyful. "They are already here, Zim! They are all over, beginning the task! As we speak, the Earth monkeys are being extinguished! The Massive will come over the horizon in an hour. And then, the ships of the armada. The Earth people will never have a chance."

"They'll never have a chance. But… is there any way the Armada can be sabotaged? The Earthenoids are smarter than they look."

"Impossible. You said it yourself. The only one who even realized you were an alien was… what was it's name? Bib."

"Dib."

"Yes. And he is wrapped up in your web of deceit. After that glorious thing you pulled off about the Tallest. They were offended that you would even consider the idea that they would turn their back on their greatest soldier."

A pang of sadness rang through Zim's heart. Gaz was an amazing storyteller. He himself almost believed that the armada was coming. Almost.

"Of course they wouldn't. After all, I am ZIM!"

"The only part is it's sister. She knows you are Irken, too. After that stunt you pulled with the crashing ship."

"She had to know. It was unavoidable."

"Ah, well. You have desposed of them, correct?"

"Correct." Internally, Dib screamed. Zim wasn't here. He was out looking for them. How had he been so stupid? He had to save Gaz. If Zim hadn't found her already. His green makeup covered the white color of his face. (He's Frankenstein. Did I mention that?)

"Then nothing left to do but wait. Wait for the glorious conquest of this dirt-ball. Let's go to the roof. We'll watch for the hull of the Massive coming over the horizon, the flank ships delivering their shots short behind. The beauty never gets old, does it?"

"It never does." Replied Dib. Then he bolted.

Dib had two objectives at this point. Number one, get out of Zim's house. Two, find Gaz. This was not as simple as it sounds. Because he had to ditch Tix. Then he would probably have to fight Zim, to get Gaz away from him. Then he had to stop the armada from coming. Stopping the Armada, which had conquered hundreds of worlds, was going to be a task.

(Zim's POV)

Dib ran, leaving Gaz in the main room. Before he had made it to the door, I moved away from the window, moving out to the street. I had no doubt that Dib would come straight to me. I had, after all, a pretty convincing costume. Just as I predicted, Dib came crashing out of the front door, leaving it to slam closed behind him. He ran through the gap in the gate, and straight to me.

"You gotta help me!" He screeched. "There's an invasion coming!"

"Invasion?" I asked. "Son, you're crazy."

"I mean, uh, I can't find my sister."

"You mean Gaz?"

"How did you know?" He grabbed onto my shirt. "Do you know where she is?!?"

"Yes." I smiled evilly. Dib backed off, scared out of his mind. "The invasion is here, Dib! HERE!"

insert maniacal laughter

"ZIM!" Dib's eyes narrowed. He had figured out it was me. I figured maybe it was time to end the prank. At least, I thought so a split second before Dib lost it.

(Dib's POV)

I have nothing to lose. Absolutely nothing. I had made a stupid mistake. I had fallen for a ruse. And now it all was coming out. The Earth was doomed. I was doomed. And this bastard had killed my sister.

"The invasion is here, Dib! HERE!"

I ran into him, pushed him to the ground. If I couldn't save Earth, I was at least taking down this Irken. He wasn't expecting an attack, and I pinned his arms easily.I held his arms down with my knees.And I started taking shots.

One for my sister. One for my dad. And one for evryone else on Earth. This could take a while. And I had all the time in the world. After the first couple punches, his nose started to bleed. It was green. Filthy alien scum.

(Gaz's POV)

This was a bad idea. We never should have done this. I ran down the sidewalk. Dib was on top of Zim, beating the crap out of him.

"Dib, stop it!"

Yeah, like that was gonna work. Dib rounded on me. Zim groaned. There was blood all over his face.

"Why? Why should I stop? My planet, my sister, is dead, because of this bastard."

"No! Listen. It was a prank. A Halloween prank! I'm Gaz! I was going as an Irken for Halloween!"

"Prove it. You've got green skin. You've got one of their PAKs. You've got purple eyes. You've got antennae." I reached up into my hair and pulled off the wire antennae. I threw them at Dib. They bent as they hit the ground.

"I can't change my eyes, or skin, because I dyed them. It'll wash out in about a day."

"I know what only you'll know. What's the secret code for unlimited lives in super kicky fighter?"

"Up up down down Left right left right A B B A start. Now will you get off Zim? God, I think you broke his nose."

Dib got up, still looking suspiciously at me. I didn't care. I knelt down next to Zim. He was out cold, blood running down his face. I ran into the house, where Gir was watching us from the window. I looked around the kitchen for a minute until I found a towel. I ran back outside. I'm starting to get really worried about all this blood.
