Later that night, much later in fact, Zim, still in his human costume, found himself standing outside of Gaz's bedroom window throwing tiny pebbles at the pane.

"Gaz!" he tried whispering. "Gaz are you awake?" He threw more pebbles and more pebbles but with no results. Then impatiently he grabbed a stone the size of his hand and slung into the window. The crashing sound of breaking glass rang throughout the neighborhood alarming several dogs and caused many porch lights to come on. Quickly the little green alien looked for somewhere to run and hide and chose to scramble underneath a bush that had red smelly flowers and long sharp thorns. Finally he saw a sleepy Gaz come to her now broken window and looked outside.

"Who's there!" she demanded while she yawned.

'This isn't going at all like I planned!' he fearfully admitted to himself and like a scared rabbit he quietly hid in the rose bush waiting for a chance to escape. By now Gaz was fully awake and feeling quite angry at this whole ordeal.

"Listen, you've got to the count of three to come out and identify yourself before I call the police. One, two, three…"

"It is I, Zim!" the alien quickly pretended to be bold and brave as he tried to stand up and crawl out only to be attacked by the bush's sharp thorns. He began to valiantly fight back by pulling and tugging on its branches.

"Ow! Ouch! Ow! Oh that stings!" she could hear him cry as he made his way into the light. She stood there at the window with her hands on her hips.

"I must speak with you on an important matter," he explained in a proud voice.

Gaz paused for a moment not even sure why she was even bothering to give this loser a second thought. Then again anything that would irritate Dib was worth considering. "This better be good Zim! Come to the door, I'll let you in."
