Skool was cancelled for the next two weeks while the vast majority of the students recuperated. Dib took advantage of this impromptu vacation to investigate a canyon about three miles from his home for reported signs of the paranormal. Zim, on the other hand, still had to retrieve his data disk, and set out to do so.

"GIR! Let's go!" he called out to his SIR unit as he fixed his wig. Gir came flying into the room, undisguised.

"Put on your disguise, Gir! We're going out in BROAD DAYLIGHT, as the Earth-saying goes!"

"Yes, Master!" Gir left to put on his dog suit.

"And remember," Zim added, "Don't touch ANYTHING!"

Elsewhere, Dib was waiting in some bushes with a camera. "I heard rumors of a chupacabra living here. I have to see it for myself." He focused his camera as he waited, then refocused it again out of boredom. Not even a goat turned up.

"It'll come out at nightfall," he reassured himself. "And when it does, I'll be ready for it."

Back at Dib's house, Zim was trying to pry open Dib's bedroom window, to no avail. "Gir! Open this thing!"

"But what will Dib's scary sister say?" Gir asked.

"I am ZIM! I do not FEAR that FEMALE!"

"Oh really?" Gaz strode up behind the duo, holding a bag of garbage. Zim turned around and recoiled.

"I am looking for your stupid brother," Zim declared.

"He's not home."

"Tell me where he is!"

"What of it?"

"I have specific BUSINESS with the Dib."

"Fine." She told Zim where he could find her brother. "And stay out of my house."

That afternoon, Dib was still waiting in the bushes for the chupacabra. He yawned and stretched his legs. "I have to wait until it gets dark. But if I don't head home now, I won't get back until midnight." He continued to debate with himself as the sky turned a darker shade of orange. Finally, he decided to get out of the bushes and go home.

As soon as he stepped out, he was halted by a familiar voice. "Not so fast, DIB-WORM!"
