Tapan: my first public Invader Zim slash! I'm so proud D

Torna: oh boy…

Tapan: This storyline was inspired by both a fic by Bonnie1 (I should make that a favorite) and my brother constantly telling me I'm very Dib-like.

Torna: hmm, you are if you think about it. You talk to the point where people think your crazy, you tend to scream when you don't think people are listening, you have a huge head

Tapan: (feels head) I do not! And for the record, Gaz's head is the same size as Dib's, his hair just makes it look bigger.

Torna: mmmm….no… he just has a big head.

Tapan: siiiigh. Anywho, on to the story!

Disclaimer: I no own Invader Zim and unless I magically turn into a short skinny guy named Jhonen Vasquez, I'm never going to. And this is why I'm writing fanfics!

Zim and Dib stood outside the High Skool, staring each other down. In Zim's hand was a small, black device, a smirk on his green face. Dib just stood there, confused.

"Okay." The human adjusted his glasses slightly before looking back up at the irken. "Explain this to me again."

Zim sighed and shook his head slightly. "Listen closely, stink-beast. For it is the last time I'll explain it." He waved the device around in the air, making squeaking noises as his arm moved. "I'm going to teleport you into ANOTHER DIMENTION! That way, you cannot get in the way of me anymore."

"Okay, that's the part that I don't get." Dib adjusted his book bag slightly. "Your leaders told you six months ago that your mission was a lie. Tak told you that around six YEARS ago, and just last night, your leaders told you to stop calling them. So why continue?"

The not so little irken sighed loudly as if Dib were the stupidest person in the world. "You just don't get it." Zim pressed a few buttons on the little device. "Now be gone with you!" a beam shot out, barely missing Dib's foot.

"Hey!" he jumped at he saw the irken running toward him, the machine pointed at him.

And so he ran with Zim on his tail.

"Leave me alone, you psycho!"

"Not until you gone from this world, Dib-stink!" the remote-like instrument shot anther beam, this time hitting a parked car. The car disappeared without a trace.

Still running, Dib could see Gaz walking ahead, absorbed in her game.

"Gaz! Help me!" he ran up to his sister. She only gave a grunt in respond.

"Looking to be saved by little Gaz? PATHEDIC!" Zim leapt at Dib, successfully talking him to the ground.

Gaz turned around and cocked an eyebrow at the two. "Couldn't you two do that somewhere else? Kids play around here and I don't think their parents want them watching to guys go at it."

"Not…funny." The boy struggled with the alien until the beam shot them both then fell to the side.

Gaz could see Zim's eye get wide before he and her brother completely disappeared, leaving the small machine behind.

Meanwhile, at that exact same spot in another dimension:

"I hear Mr. Bitters is moving up to the high skool."

"Bitters? I thought he was dead!"

"Well you thought wrong, didn't you, Deb-human?" the irken female tugged playfully at the human's coat, smiling.

She snorted and continued to walk. She paused when she heard screaming. "Hey, Tam. Do you hear that?" the screaming got louder still.

Tam looked up just in time to see two people fall from the sky, directly on her girlfriend. And seeing this, she did what any other insane irken would do.

She laughed.

"Ooh, the pain!" a male version of her lover sat up, rubbing his head. "What'd we land on?"

"The ground. This is all your fault!" A male version of herself brought his head out of the gravel and glared at the human.

"My fault? If it wasn't for your stupid attempt to get rid of me, we wouldn't"

"Hey, this is all lovely but would you two mind getting off me? I would like to pop my spine back in place." They both looked down at the girl they landed on.

Processing what she said, Dib quickly stood up. Zim, on the other hand, sat on her chest, staring down at her.

"Zim! Get off her!" the boy took the male irken by the arm and pulled him off her.

Tam walked over to the hole, looking in cautiously. "Are you okay?"

"It hurts." Deb moved slightly, a loud crack echoed in the street.

"Do you need help?"

"No, I think I got it." She stood up and gingerly climbed out.

"She looks like you, Dib." Zim poked Dib's arm slightly

"Thank you captain obvious."

"Who is this 'captain obvious'? I am ZIM!"

Dib shook his head.

"Are you two done now?" the two boys turned to Tam, who stood in front of them, arms crossed. "Because I would really like to know where you two came from and why you look like the stink beast behind me and why you look like me in some fashion."

Deb glared at the back of Tam's head before walking up next to her.

Dib rubbed the back of his head, chuckling nervously. "It's kind of hard to explain."

"No it isn't, human beast of smell. We simple were zapped into this dimension due to my AMAZING invention."

"So where's the invention?"

"Back in our dimension." With an after thought, Dib added, "with my sister."

Deb's eye twitched. If his sister was like her brother, then there's no way they're getting back.

"Well, I guess you'll need a place to stay while it all gets figured out." Tam looked over at Deb, smiling. "Isn't that right?"

Deb eyed the irken. "Why don't I like the sound of that?"

"I say you take the boys to your place until it all gets figured out."

"What! Why me? You live alone!"

"No I don't!"

"GIR doesn't count. He doesn't take up any room!"

"He takes up plenty of room! And besides, the human will get into my lab!"

"I'm sure he's seen it all before."

The two boys stood there, while the girls' fought, blank expressions on their faces.

"Hey!" the girls turned to Dib, glaring slightly. "What if Zim, goes to the base and I go home with you?"

Deb stood up straight and thought about it. "That might work."

" But it wouldn't be nice to separate you two."

Zim cocked an eyebrow at Tam. "Eh?"

"Yeah, that works!" Deb cupped her hand around the female invader's mouth before she could respond to Zim. "Off we go!" with that; she walked away, leaving the other three to follow

"Gim! I'm home!" Deb stepped inside the house, leaving the door open to allow in her male counterpart. "You'll never guess what happened today."

Dib heard a familiar, yet more masculine, grunt from the couch. He looked over to see a boy with short magenta hair sitting in front of the TV, squinted eyes on his game as Deb continued to talk. "I was walking home, when a boy version of me and Tam fell from the sky and landed on me."

Gim glared at his sister. "And you didn't die?" Deb just stared at him as he turned back to his game. "I'm guessing that's him behind me."

"Yeah." Her voice was flat.

Dib cautiously moved around the couch to see Gim. The younger boy looked up at Dib. "He looks just like you." One of his squinted eyes opened to look at his older sister. "I told you you're a tomboy as well as a dyke. With a giant head."

"My head's not big!" Deb yelled before storming upstairs.

Dib still stood right next to the couch, his eye twitching at the familiarity of the conversation, before following his female counterpart upstairs. Without knocking, he walked into the room to see her sitting on the computer, the swollen eyeball symbol on the screen. "I'm going to figure out a way to get you two home."

"Dark Bootie here."

"Hey!" Dib pointed at the computer screen. "Dark Bootie is exactly the same!"

"Really?" Deb looked back at the screen. "That's weird."

"Who's that with you, Silk Moth?"

"That's kind of why I called you."

Tapan: eh, it's short, but that's okay. The next chapter'll be longer! i'm also not entirely happy with the set up... R&R please!
