The rest of the weekend past, Dib and Zim not speaking to eachother. After that strange…occurrence that happened in the house, it wasn't really a talking-time. Plus, Dib was too busy, deep in thought about that dream and what he needs to tell.

Monday! The day every child hates; the day school begins again. Dib was actually excited about Monday coming! It meant that he could get out of the house, atleast, he hoped. Tir stood outside, whistling and tapping her foot on the ground. Tir looked over and stared at Dib, who was staring outside the window. It was 6:39 AM and Dib still had time to get home and take a shower, like he needed one! He's been using the one at Zim's house, but everyone is now suspecting why Zim has a shower. Oh well. He just stared, his wide eyes making Tir smile and want to cling to him. BUT, ALAS, she could not, because her mission was to get Dib and Zim together.

Dib's puppy-dog-like-look didn't last long after he realized it wasn't working. Dib turned around and pouted, folding his arms and looking at the ground. Zim glanced over at him, but then staring back at his experiment after his squiggly spooch started twisting and turning. That always happened when Zim looked at Dib, or when Dib passed by him, or when Dib did ANYTHING. Things have gotten weird after that incident of the lips-locking-thing. Zim shook his head and growled, staring at a glass container. Suddenly, something popped into Zim's mind and his eyes widened.

"Gir!" Zim yelled and ran out of the kitchen (Where he was.) and ran over to the window. He stared out to see Gir and Tir playing a game of cards. Tir looked over and waved, a smile on her face. Zim growled and banged on the window and screamed. "Gir! Come inside! You don't have your disguise on!" Zim yelled and pointed at Gir's NAKED BODEH. Gir looked down and screamed, holding his head. "I'M NAKED!" Gir screamed, making Tir hold her ears. Tir stared at Gir then Gir stopped screaming and smiled at Tir. "We're playing STRIP POKERRR!" Gir said and stuck his tongue out. Tir blinked and tipped her head to the side in confusion. "What's that?" Tir asked and Gir stood up and lifted up one of the cards and ripped it in half. "THAT'S what it is." Gir said and smiled. Tir's eyes widened and started to rip all off the cards, and so did Gir. Tir liked Strip Poker. (The readers now laugh. … Kinda. )

Zim shook his head and walked into the kitchen again, starting to work on whatever he is. Probably…Toast or something. Dib looked up from the floor and then at Zim.

"Zim, we need to get to school." Dib said and stared at Zim. Zim looked over at Dib and glared. "I need no school, human earth monkey. Zim is smarter than all you…Pork…Filled jelly beans." Zim said and nodded. Dib just rolled his eyes and let out a long sigh. Zim might not need school, but Dib sure does. Dib got up and brushed himself off, looking at the door one more time. Dib lightly tapped on it, to get Tir's attention. This actually did! Tir got up and walked over to the window, smiling.

"What?" Tir asked, and looked at Dib. He looked at her then glared, pointing his…finger at her. "Let me out! I have to go to school to get a decent job and stuff! Plus, my family MUST be worried by now, I mean, even if they are people who hardly know I exist, they must know that I've been gone for a while! They care!" Dib yelled and frowned. Tir just stared at him then a smile appeared on her face. "Of course they do! Just like I care about your relationship with Zim." Tir said and nodded. Just then Gaz walked down the sidewalk. She had her game in her hand and she was frantically pushing buttons. Tir blinked and stared at Gaz then looked at Dib. Tir looked at Gaz again and smiled.

"You, Dib's sister! Come here!" Tir yelled. Gaz stopped in front of the house's fence and looked up from her game. She stared at Tir and then at Dib, who had his face planted against the glass. Gaz shivered and looked at her game again. "I don't know that freak." Gaz mumbled and walked away. Tir looked at Dib and frowned. "You know, I feel sorry for you. I mean, your sister rejecting you…" Tir said and looked at Dib, who felt lower about himself just then. His own sister? Dear gosh, this child must be really really weird. Dib slumped down and folded his arms.

Tir yawned, her eyes closing and not opening up for about 10 seconds. She opened her eyes and looked around, feeling very tired still. In the kitchen, Zim yawned as well. He was getting tired too. Dib just sat there, thinking over his life. Suddenly something crashed in the kitchen and a thump! could be heard. Dib gasped and got up, running into the kitchen. Dib saw Zim lying on the ground, drool coming from his mouth. Dib blinked and walked over to him, poking his head. "Z-Zim?" Dib stuttered and stared. Dib then heard another thump! and ran over to where he heard it. It was near the door, so Dib looked out the window and saw Tir leaning against the door, her eyes wide open and drool coming from her mouth. Dib's eyes widened and he saw something wrong here.

What on earth could have happened?

On planet Irk, Tallest Red and Tallest Purple were sitting in their throne-things. But barely because of all the laughing they were doing. An Irken looked from behind his chair at the control desk and stared at Tallest Purple then at Tallest Red.

"My tallest, Tir and Zim have been shut off." The Irken said and nodded as the readers heart break. OH NO.

"Oh, yes, they were getting boring so we just shut them off. Why didn't we ever do that before?" Purple said and looked at Red, who took a moment to think.

Red laughed and grabbed some popcorn. "Because, Zim was amusing for a while! Right?" Red said and looked at Purple, to make sure he agreed with his answer. And he did!

So they danced and stuff. Plus, they had great snacks. A SNACK FIT FOR A KING!

Dib walked over to Zim and looked at him. Ok, Dib had to think now… And as he always does, he thinks outloud.

"So, if I see what's wrong with Zim and save him, then earth is in danger! But if I don't save him, something could be wrong with him- no! Why should I save him? If I save him that means I'm just giving up earth! I should leave him here and-" Dib looked at the Irken's small body. Dib then looked at Tir, who was leaning up against the door. Dib sighed and sat down, resting his large head on his hands.

"I could save Tir, and save Zim by accident. Yeah…" Dib mumbled and looked at Zim then Tir. Dib nodded and got up, knowing what to do.

What is he gonna do? NO ONE KNOWS!
