I managed to get to chapter 2! Yay! Ok, its not much, I'm not much of a writer. Your lucky to get this much out of me!

Any who, hope you like this chapter.

Dib walked into his house to find his sister on the couch playing video games. His father, who's almost never home, was tinkering around with some gizmo of his creation.

"Hello…eh, son!" said his father, Professor Membrane between slight electric shocks from the gizmo, "Have you decided to study real science yet?"

Dib just looked at him, slightly annoyed, before replying, "No, dad…"

Membrane just shook his head disappointedly. "My poor insane son."

Dib let out a sigh before going into the bathroom and taking out the medical supplies. He took what he needed and went into his room. His dark room was lit only by his computer screens, which cast a dull blue-grey light. On the computer screens was Zim's base, showing only a couple key locations on the various screens. He watched as Zim was wrapping his wounds as he was doing the same. Zim was talking to himself, as he often did, but Dib couldn't tell what he was rambling on about, he wasn't a lip-reader after all.

"What are you plotting now, Zim?" said Dib to no one in particular, something he also did often enough…

Form downstairs you could hear Gaz yelling, "Go away!" and Prof. Membrane talking about his poor insane child…

"I'm not crazy!" shouted Dib, and he got that blank/annoyed face he was infamous for. He turned his attention back to the monitors to a now insanely laughing Zim. 'Looks like I'll have to infiltrate his base again…' he thought, 'But I'll do it later…I'm not really in the mood right now…' and with that he set his glasses on the bed-side table and went to bed, Zim still laughing his head off on the computer screen.

The next day Dib woke up early, even though it was a Saturday. He sat up in his bed for quite a while, deep in thought. He watched the computer images of Zim's base, though he was not to be found in any of them. It made min wonder why he had kept up the fight so long…none of the people on this planet appreciated what he's done, or even know about it.

'Maybe I should give up the fight, for a little while at least…' he thought, 'I need a break…maybe I'll travel somewhere over the summer…far away…' for the first time in years, he opened his bedroom blinds. Light flooded the small room, showing the true color of the walls long forgotten…And now Dib remembered why he never opened his blinds. The walls were coated in a girly, sickly pink. His room was originally intended for Gaz, but she hated the color with a passion and took control of Dib's original room. 'But I think I'll paint over these walls before I leave…'

He got up and put his glasses on and went downstairs to the kitchen. He went in and started to prepare his breakfast, still in thought about the whole 'To save the Earth' or 'not to save the Earth, that is the question' thing. Gaz was already up and at the table, eating a bowl of Chocky Pocks, a cereal with chocolate puff thingies, marshmallows, and chocolate chips. She did even acknowledge her brother as he sat down with his own bowl of Chocky Pocks.

"So,eh…has dad gone of to work already?" asked Dib, trying to break the awkward silence.

"Neh….." Gaz just grunted. She wasn't much of a talker, plus she didn't like her brother all that much…

Dib just looked down at his cereal. His father was almost never around, and when he was, he mostly ignored his kids. 'Maybe I really should give up the fight, then I could go study real science then dad might not ignore us anymore…' the thought crossed his mind many a time. He shook the thought from his mind. He needed to sneak into Zim's base first and find out what he's up to. Dib finished his breakfast and prepared to infiltrate the alien's base once again.

Zim was busy going through file upon file in whatever database he could find.

"There must be something here, there has to! I need that information!" Gir just looked at him with those stupid, idiotic eyes. HE then proceeded to sing one of the many 'do' songs. "Gir, BE QUIET!" I'm trying to find the information for inter-plane travel…"

"I like tacos." Zim just raised an invisible eyebrow, and continued his search.

'There must be something…Anything!' Zim then heard something. "Eh?" he perked up his antenna so he could better hear what was moving around. There was something or some one inside the room besides gir and himself.

"I know your there Dib, come out and I won't experiment on your brain." He looked around the room with his large, glinting red eyes to give him some clue as the where Dib was. He then thought of how he could expose the Dib. "Gir! Toquitoes!"

Gir squealed happily and started bouncing of the walls and jetting around the room, hitting some of the wiring, knocking a no longer hidden Dib into view.

"Wow! That worked out better than expected!" Said Zim, smiling as his own genius.

"Damn you Zim!" said Dib after he landed on the floor. He didn't want his brain experimented on, nor did he want to leave without finding anything out. Doncha' just hate these kinds of situation? "Your not gonna away with…with whatever you think your gonna get away with…"

Zim just laughed at Dib. "Stoopid human. You can't measure up to my genius. There's not way you'll possibly figure out my plan to build a devise that can send things to different planes of the universe."

"Your going to build a devise that can send things to different planes of the universe?" said a shocked Dib.

"Eh?" How'd YOU find out?" Said Zim almost equally shocked.

"You just told me…" said Dib matter-o'-factly.

"LIES!" shouted Zim. "hmm…" Zim rubbed his chin thinking. "Guess I'll just have to wipe your brain clean…" Zim narrowed his eyes and cackled.

"I think I'm just gonna go now…" said Dib as he started to head for the exit, but was cut off when Zim blocked his way.

"Oh, you won't get off that easily, Dib-human…" snickered Zim. Dib was actually starting to tremble a little. This is the first time ever that he was actually afraid of Zim. Normally he'd just laugh at Zim and he'd get all pissed off, which gave Dib the opportunity to get away. This time was different, he didn't know why, but he had lost his cool. He did his best to force a smile and choke a chuckle. Zim grunted one of his patented 'eh?'s

"Your such an idiot. There's no way in hell you can wipe my brain. Do you even know where it is?" said Dib, trying to relax a little bit.

"Its in that Ginormous head of yours!" shouted Zim, reaching into his pod and pulling out a stun-gun zapper like thingy. His spider legs shot out, rising him above Dib.

"My head's not big!" shouted Dib, starting to get frustrated.

"Yes, and that's probably where that information I need is hiding." Said Zim in a low tone.

"Your not going to succeed! Your going to screw up, just like always!" Dib dodged out of the way of an oncoming Zim. "And I'll laugh at you! Face it, Zim! Things are never going to change!" shouted Dib, still trying to not get zapped or captured. "And I'm sick of it! I'm sick of all of it! Sick of you! Sick of skool! Sick of the entire stupid world! I can't take it anymore!" And so, Dib started rambling on and on about how much he hated it all. Zim stopped his pursuit to listen to hi enemy start to crack.

'I can't have him flipping out like this so soon…not until I have him gone!' thought Zim, even though the sight in front of him was quite amusing.

"I'm going away for the summer! FAR away! Away from you! And if I never see you again it would be too soon!" Dib had no idea why he was acting like he was. Maybe Zim had put another bug of some sort in his food again and was controlling his actions.

"It appears as if we have a mutual understanding…" hissed Zim, just loud enough to capture Dib's attention and get him to stop rambling.

"Huh?" Dib managed to say.

"You're sick of protecting this FFFFFFILTHY planet, and I'm sick of you always destroying my plans." Continued Zim.

"But you seem to destroy your own plans…" said Dib.

"SILENC!" shouted Zim down at Dib. "Do not question my intellect."

"But I didn't…" Dib was beginning to think the earth might be safe on its own…Zim seemed to me more insane and oblivious than normal…'what an idiot…' he thought. "Zim, just shut up and think about what you say sometimes. It would better suit your situation…" said Dib flatly and got another 'eh?' out of Zim. "I'm leaving now…I just don't care anymore…" he said as he walked past Zim.

Zim debated whether or not to grab at that scythe-like loch of hair on Dib's head, but he figured it might not be in his best judgment. (wow! He thought before he acted! That's new…) And just as Dib had predicted it, Zim let Dib just walk out of the base, unscathed.

Zim let his spider legs recoil into his pod, and he headed for a small room with a chair, and one lit computer screen. He sat in the chair, and did some thinking, like Dib had suggested.

"How come I always let him walk out of here alive? I'm an Invader! All those who come into my base should be killed on the spot…why not him...why not him…" Zim had never thought about it before, it had never occurred to him to do so. "Well, with him gone, I won't have to worry about it anymore." So he continued to search for the information he needed, pausing only to think of what he was truly doing.

Dib just walked home, angry and frustrated. He went inside his home and sat next to Gaz on the couch, who didn't even bother to look over. All she did was sneer and ask only this, just to piss him off.

"Have a fight with your obsession?"

"God Dammit, Gaz, why do you always have to ask that whenever I came home from his house?" retorted Din, then decided to add, "I'm not like that anyway…"

"Like what? Gay?" snickered Gaz. Dib shot her an evil look. "Besides, I didn't ask if he was you lover , I just asked about your obsession." She didn't care about her brother's problem's, 'specially when she was gammin'!

Dib had absolutely nothing to say to what his sister said. He just grumbled and went up to his room. When he got there, he promptly closed the blinds. He liked his small dark room only luminated by the computer screens. "Damn, why does everyone think I'm gay?" He sat on his bed with that annoyed look on his face. Then he thought about it…'maybe I am…I mean, I've never had a girlfriend…and I've always been secluded from everyone else…But that doesn't mean anything…'

"It doesn't mean anything!" he shouted out. Then he realized what he did and felt like an idiot. He closed his eyes and fell back onto his bed and stared up at the ceiling, watching the lights form the computer screens dance upon the walls.

"Why is my life so difficult to understand…" he whispered to himself. He watched the lights flash on the ceiling and without even noticing, he fell asleep.

Yay! Another chapter done! C'mon people, comment! I need as much help as I can get! I have no clue what to do next, give meh advice, and suggestions, and I'll try to weave them in somehow…Thanx for readin'!
