Author Notes: I don't own Invader Zim, or its Characters. One more thing, if you don't even LIKE ZAGR why do you bother reading it? To try and put those who have tried so hard down? If you have nothing good to say don't bother because your words go in one ear and out the other.

Maran Zelde: As I stated most characters I do always end up OOC. Gaz's motives will eventually appear throughout the story, as will Zim's. For the "cool" appearances of the two, I thought adding a little anime styled look would be appreciated (and the idea of them getting good looking is just a positive, you want I should make them ugly?). If it suits you Zim's height is 5' 6".

Goddess-of-da-Cheeseburgers: TheZim in this fic has all five fingers, I know it's OOC but I can't help itand this story is AUheh. The city blackout was just a dramatic scene, no real hidden agenda (or am I just throwing you off heheh).

CH 2 – Welcome To Irk (Motives Revealed)

We will arrive at Irk in 3 minutes

"Thank you computer"

Zim turned the ship to auto pilot and undid his seatbelt. He would be home soon, and he'd have to stay at the Irken Academy and finish the rest of his courses. He sighed deeply and placed a gloved hand to his mouth thinking.

"I know I finished my courses, why would the Tallests want me to come back? It makes no sense..."

He continued his mindless drawl; Gaz was comfortably lying in the back of his voot. She listened to him, but her mind was elsewhere.

"As soon as we land" she mumbled quietly, "I'll have to change, search around. I hope I find what I'm looking for"

The ship slowed somewhat and began entering Irk's atmosphere. It landed softly and Zim opened the door only to be greeted by a former classmate.

"Greetings Zeke!" Zim saluted to his friend, Zeke saluted back and smiled widely.

"Zim it's been a long time. What brings you back to Irk?" he asked while taking hold of Zim's bags.

"I got called back for some brainless reason. Such as the fact I did not finish my Academy courses" Zim sighed and began to think again. He glanced at Zeke and noticed he had almost the same features as himself, only the slight difference in clothing and eye color.

"What are you looking at?" Zeke poked Zim in his chest, "You look at me like you're interested in me. Did you become attracted to males while you were gone?"

Zim looked away and grunted, "No I was just noticing how...growth spurts affected us."

"Ah yes, being away from Irk allowed us to grow the normal way. Something about the planet keeps us small, but lately everyone has been growing. Even the ones that live here." He gestured to a few other Irkens who seemed to have indeed grown. "I think the Mighty Tallests won't be the tallest anymore" he grinned and shook Zim's hand, "Here where I leave you. Good luck with those courses!" he saluted then walked off, and Zim entered the building.

Meanwhile a figure had crept out of Zim's voot, somehow managing to avoid being grabbed by Zeke.

"That was close" Gaz looked around, it was clear so she began fumbling with the belt. "I'll just set this thing to female, it might be safer to stick close to Zim." She turned the dial and clicked it in place.

Suddenly her outer appearance began to ripple, her clothing changed into the Irken uniform, her skin became light green and her eyes turned into a deep violet color. When the transformation was complete you could hardly tell she was ever a human.

"Perfect, now where did that Zim go...?" She caught him entering the building and followed briskly, while making her clothing loose so she looked like a male Irken. She continued to fix herself only to accidentally run into him causing both to fall. She rubbed her head and felt a strong hand grasp her arm and pull her up to her feet. Looking up she felt heat rise in her face at the closeness of Zim, close enough to see her in his big red eyes.

"Watch where you're going" Zim spoke ruthlessly at her, at a second glance he squinted his eyes to get a better look at Gaz. "You look familiar, what's your name?"

"I'm Ga...Ga..." Gaz looked down and away. She needed a name. One that was boyish as well. She looked at her watch on her wrist that was labled GLITZ.

"I'm Glitz!" she crossed her arms and smiled broadly, "Invader Glitz!"

Zim snorted, "Interesting name Glitz, I'm Zim."

Gaz nodded and looked around, "So where do I sign...in?"

Zim nodded toward a desk. He walked with her and they both signed in their names. They received a card to open their sleeping quarters with.

"I guess we'll be bunking as roommates Glitz" Zim brought his hand down on Gaz's shoulder and laughed.

Gaz shrugged his hand off and rubbed her shoulder, "Guess so...you got quite a grip Zim"

"Yeah well I was stationed at Earth and since I had nothing better to do I wasted my time with weight lifting" Zim gave a few bags to Glitz, "Give me a hand will you Glitz, this will make things easier on me"

Gaz was held down with 3 bags that seemed as if Zim had packed a few planets in them.

"Dammit Zim what do you have in here...BRICKS?" she gasped out and tried to lift them up.

"Just a few things, quit being such a girl" Zim hoisted 6 bags over his shoulder with ease and began walking, while Gaz huffed to try and keep up with him.

When they finally got to their room Zim took over the bunk closest to the doorway and began unpacking.

"Where's your bag?" He asked Gaz

She sat on the other bunk and did her best guy Irkenimpression, "I uh have no need for bags. I'm perfectly fine without them" she gave him a reassuring smile.

Zim smiled back, "You smile a lot for an Irken. Were you ever stationed at Earth?"

Gaz gulped, "Uh no but I have...been there once and picked up the habits"

Zim shrugged, satisfied. He took his uniform and placed it near his bed.

"We'll have a busy day tomorrow with our courses, so I'm gonna crash" he took off his maroon shirt revealing himself from the waist up.

Gaz coughed and stared, "What the hell are you doing!!??"

Zim looked at her, "It's hot... You act like you've never seen a male from the waist up before, haven't you?"

"I have yeah!" she turned in her cot and covered her face with a pillow, annoyed that she's seen a side of him she never thought she'd see. She listened as Zim rustled in his bed and began sleeping.

"Ugh God, I can't believe I have to pretend I'm IrkenAND a guy at the same time. This whole ordeal better be worth it." She sighed and began drifting to sleep.

End. Thanks for the reviews everybody, I'll be expecting more!
