Donny walked up the path to the strange green house, the kids that'd been there on Halloween were standing at the gate watching. He turned the knob and was quite surprised when the door opened with ease. He walked in and closed the door behind him. He walked around inside the living room., deciding where would be a good place to 'set up camp' for the night. He made his way to the couch and sat down. It was quite comfy. He lay down, his hand brushing a button under if. The couch lurched and tossed him down a hole in the floor. He landed none too gracefully on the cold linoleum ground of Zim's base. His eyes widened in pure awe of the alien technology.

Donny began to wonder the lower levels of the house, trying to see all he could. He had made it into the second level of the base before the house decided that the small creature wasn't Gir.

"INTRUDER ALERT!" it screeched, metallic tentacles wrapping around Donny's arms and legs, suspending him in the air. A cage fell from the ceiling and the tentacles dropped him into it.

"Let me go! ARGH!" he said as he was dropped in the cage. An elevator pad appeared in the hole the formed under him; it began to lower down deeper into the base before dumping him in the prison-ward. He whimpered, his face paling as he viewed all the torture devises. There were skeletons of children in other cages and in some of the devises; no doubt the bones of other kids stupid enough to have wandered into the house.

Donny pulled his legs up to his chest, sobbing into his knees. He was going to die. He knew it. Zim wasn't a nice alien like Dib said. Well, Dib had never actually said Zim was nice, he just said he loved him. But how could anyone that was nice love someone not nice. He sniffed. After a while, he cried himself into a light sleep.

Donny stirred, sitting up. He looked at his watch; damn, it was too dark to see the time, though it looked to be about 2 am, give or take. He yawned, stretching his back, he'd only been out about two hours. He was searching through his bag, when out of the corner of his eye he saw two glowing turquoise orbs. His fear returned; could those orbs be the spirits of dead kids! He tried his best to see them more clearly.

"H-hello…?"

"WELL HI THERE MISTER FIRE HEAD!" It squealed happily, more orbs glowing on it. It was a robot, "I done sawed you sleepin' Mr. Fire head an I done think 'Dar'w! How cute! Another little peoples done come see da Mastah and dat big-headed boy who don't have such big a head no mores and…and stuff.' I LIKE CORN!" he stuck his tongue out, elevator music drifting out of it…somehow. Donny blinked, Dib, of course.

"Um, excuse me, Mr. Robot thing…"

"Gir reporting for duty." He said seriously, all the blue orbs turning red.

"Um, yes, could you get Dib for me? Please?" the orbs turned blue again.

"Da big-headed boy! I like him! He makes cup cakes with me and he makes Master happy. Master was never happy before. Always sad. He kicked me allot. He no kick me no more. Now Master LOVE me!" Gir hugged himself.

"Could you go get Dib then?"

"Okee-dokee!" it ran off. Donny sighed, he was doomed.

About 20 minutes later, Gir came back dragging Dib behind him.

"Gir! I know there were kids in here, you know I don't like it in this place and- Donny! What's going on!" he grabbed a key off the wall and unlocked the cage. Donny crawled out, brushing himself off.

"Thanks Dib. Gir's, um, cute." Dib spotted the bag and his expression turned sad.

"Donny, I told you you couldn't spend the night!"

"I know, Dib, I'm sorry. But I had to! Everyone would think I was chicken if I didn't! And they'd make fun of me more than they already do now!" Dib sighed.

"Fine, you can stay, but you'll have to stay in Gir's room and you can't let Zim see you! He'll throw you back in here for keeps!" Donny gulped. Gir clamped on to Donny's leg.

"Yay! Me and da fiery-guy gonna be bestest friends!" Donny picked up the little robot as Dib led him to the elevator.

"I'm sorry Gir woke you Dib."

"Don't worry, he didn't, Zim's in his lab plotting world domination and I was in our room writing and listening to music; we never go to bed by our self." Donny's eyes widened again.

"Zim really is going to take over the planet!" Dib nodded sadly.

"Don't worry, he's a complete idio-" the whole base shook as a giant earth-quake struck it. They fell to the floor.

"Oh, crud, do you guys get allot of earth-quakes down here?"

"No, that's just it, we never get any." Dib gulped, "It's Zim, he's taking over now."

Keri: XD; yeah…I'm gonna need to go to bed soon.
