I know I said I wasn't going to do the songs, but I had to do something with this chapter. Songfic to "Fanfare/Don't Dream It, Be It" with some lyrics altered to fit the Zimness of the scenario. Yeah. I don't really do songfics...oh, and pardon the shameless plug, but Circus Freak 92- I AM GIR has an IZ parody of the Rocky Horror songs, so it all balances out on FFN...

DISCLAIMER: I don't own this song.


Dib opened his eyes first, followed by Gaz, then Tak, and lastly, Gir. Not one of them was aware of their surroundings (or attire), and they swept across the stage with the grace and naïveté of dolls.

Zim hopped up on stage, wrapping his boa around Tak's slender physique. He put his head on her shoulder and sang,

"What ever happened to Invader Tenn?

That delicate satin-draped frame..."

He slid his boa down the length of her body, following suit with his own and resting his knees just above the top of her boot.

"As I clung to her thigh, how I started to cry

'Cuz I wanted to Invade just the same..."

He bounded over to Gaz, who stood statuesquely and welcomed his touch.

"Give yourself over to absolute pleasure...

With a quick sweep of his hand across her collarbone, Zim pirouetted over to Dib.

"BURN in the FIRES of sins of the flesh!"

He placed both hands on Dib's shoulders and narrowed his ruby eyes seductively, gazing into the amber eyes of the degenerate human.

"Erotic nightmares beyond any measure

And sensual daydreams to treasure forever..."

Zim threw Dib forth into the arms of his sister, who landed backwards against Tak, who in turn fell into Gir's outstretched arms.

"Can't you just see it. AHAHA!

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it..."

The zombified "Invaders" chanted hypnotically:

"Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it

Don't dream it, be it..."

Somewhere off-stage, Agent Darkbootie caught on to the catchy tune:

"GAH! We've got to get out of this trap

Before this decadence saps our wills

I've got to be strong and try to hang on

Or else my mind, may well snap

And my life would be lived for the thrills - "

He kicked off his blanket uncontrollably, revealing that he, too, was dressed in Irken gear!

"Don't dream it, be it," Zim sang.

"It's beyond me," Dib sang. "Help me, Daddy..."

"Irk bless Jhonen Vasquez," Gaz concluded.

"Hold it right there, Zim."

Zim looked up, in a rather jaded state, in the direction the command had come from. All of a sudden, Dib, Gaz, Tak, and Gir snapped out of their trances.

"We have something to tell you," Purple said.
