Two weeks passed. Dib packed one rainbow-swirled test tube into a small briefcase before heading off to skool. Gaz had come down with an upset stomach and decided to stay home puking and playing video games, so Dib had to walk to skool alone…
As he walked down the sidewalk, he noticed a dead squirrel lying next to the curb. He studied the roadkill and then glanced at his briefcase. "If it works on plants… will it work on animals?"
He opened up his briefcase, took out the test tube, and gently uncorked it. "I can spare a drop." With that, he poured about half a milliliter of solution onto the carcass. The squirrel slowly twitched, opened its eyes, and scuttled across the sidewalk and up a tree.
"Holy mother of Mothra," Dib exclaimed, recorking the tube. "I've created a resurrecting serum!" He replaced the tube in the briefcase and started running to skool. "But I can't tell anyone! Not yet, anyway!"
When he finally arrived at skool, he noticed that Zim wasn't there. He looked around the room to see everyone else's projects. Most of them were just dioramas of the solar system made out of cardboard or potted plants, and Dib felt that he'd won – at least, out of everyone in the class. He set up his display and sat back, reading a paranormal research magazine. It took a long time for anyone to notice that he was even there, but as soon as one boy saw the rainbow-swirled tube, the whole class flocked to Dib's desk in awe.
"Oooo!"
"Pretty colors!"
"It's like a rainbow!"
All the kids in his class stared at the tube like mindless zombies as Dib sat and smiled smugly. At least, until Zim strode into the classroom.
"Fellow Earth students!" he called out. "I have a science project UNLIKE ANY OTHER!" He wheeled in a metal cart shrouded by a pink blanket. Everyone ditched Dib and gathered around Zim and his mystery project.
"I bet he has some alien war device under there!" Dib jumped out of his seat and ran over to Zim. "Stand back, everyone! It's a trap!"
"You LIE!" Zim fired back in defense. "This is my NORMAL Earth-boy science project!"
Ms. Bitters looked over at the mob. "All right, Zim, let's see it."
"BEHOLD!" Zim tore the blanket off his cart.
