A/N: I realize that I have been neglecting this fic and I am ashamed. First it was studying for finials, then graduation, then everything else piled up after that. I'm sorry holds up sign with 'please hit me now' on it But I have returned with this chapter. I will be gone from Thursday to Sunday, and Monday I'll finish painting my friend's wall (I painted a cartoon version of him and stuff). But after all that I will bestow upon you another chapter by Friday the 30th.

Ch23: We can dance if we want to…

2:00 a.m. - Dib's house

Dib was talking in his sleep "…a baby?….mufungmfm….no thanks I ate…" A door slammed making the entire house shake and waking up Dib. "What? WHAT!" instinct told him that it was Gaz making all that noise. "Gaz, why in the world are you awake! It's 2:05 in the morning!…gasp" Having just remembered about the game slave incident, Dib quickly got dressed and ran out the door after Gaz. Outside nobody was there. "Where is she!" he thought. It was dead quiet. Dead…"oh God!" Dib ran as fast as he could to Maz's house.

2:13 a.m. - on a public bus

"Hey! You have to pay the fair to ride!" Screamed the bus driver. The person's face was covered by the oversized sombrero on their head and a monkey on top of that. "Hey! Hey you! You have to pay bus fair!" The person lifted their head and revealed their face. "Holy!…what happened to you?"

"Keep your mouth shut and drive!" The eerie green person answered.

"Yes…" The Bus driver turned around and drove, not opening her mouth at all.

'I look like a fool…the only reason I'm wearing this…thing… is so they don't see my green skin. Things would be so much easier if I…sigh forget it' They thought.

2:15 a.m. - Maz's house

Dib knocked on the door so hard he nearly made a dent in it. Lep answered.

"Can I help you?"

"Dr. Lep, I need to see Maz ASAP!"

"It's nearly 2:15 in the morning! Whatever it is you can wait"

"But…!"

"No buts, goodnight" He shut the door.

Dib ran around the house trying to find another way in. Curtains blew from an open window on the second floor. 'Please let that be her room' He thought. A conveniently located trellis caught his eye and he started to climb it. It took him a while to get to the top (especially since he fell a couple of times.) He jumped in the pitch black room and turned on the lamp. A groaning Maz was still in bed.

"uhhh….what?….who?…" She woke up. "oh, hi Dib…" It took her a couple of seconds to realize what she just saw. "WHAT! Dib what the heck are you doing in my room! It's…it's…looks at clock…It's 2:25 in the morning!"

"Hehe…I can explain. You see Gaz, she…"Dib started to explain but out of nowhere lighting flashed and at Maz's window was standing a pretty wigged out Gaz. Dib took a big gulp.

"You too! What the heck is with you guys? It's 2:25 in the morning! Have you gone mad? And how do you know where my house is?" Maz raved as she pointed at Gaz who clearly was pissed..

"We'll see who has gone mad after I'm through with you." Gaz hissed.

"What?" Was the utter confused response from Maz.

"Run Maz run!" Dib screamed as Gaz lunged at Maz.

Sometime later- The bus stop

The short sombrero wearing, monkey wielding character came off the bus.

"That thing is filthier than planet Dirt and planet Blorch put together. By the Tallests I swear, as soon as I find him…uh, which way is his base?"

They scanned the city for anything useful. Something felt familiar about it though they had clearly never been there before. Still they couldn't help but have the feeling that… "Great! I must be going in circles" they walked on hoping they found their destination soon.

? - Maz's room.

"Stop it!" Was Maz as Gaz head locked her. Every time Dib tried to help Gaz would fling him to the other side of the room. Maz wiggled her way free.

"I'm not done with you yet!" Lightning struck again.

"Eep!" Maz ran to the opposite side of the room. At that moment a very tired Zeke came in.

"No Lep, she's not dead!" He shouted down the hallway." Not even realizing other people were there. He left without another word.

"Listen, I'm sorry I touched your game! runs to the other side of the room But I'll buy you a new GS. One that hasn't even come out yet!" Maz offered helping Dib up.

"I'm listening"

"The GS3 is supposed to come out in two months but I can get you one within two weeks."

"Ok, you have two weeks…." Gaz walked out of the room.

Cries of "Holy Irk" and "Who the heck are you" Were heard from downstairs. Maz turned to Dib.

"YOUR SISTER IS CRAZY!"

"I know…Say Maz, let me tell you some things you shouldn't do around her…" And so Dib gave helpful advice on how to avoid Gaz's wrath.

Much later at Zim's Base…

"Woo! Dance, Dance!" Purple Cheered as Red stuffed Doughnuts in his mouth.

Gir, dressed as a cumquat, and Mini moose, dressed as a block of cheese, were dancing with delight. Zim on the other hand was as miserable as a guy who's girlfriend left him for his best friend on his birthday.

"Zim! You're not Dancing enough!" Red threatened. Zim grumbled something an danced with more enthusiasm. The Tallests laughed at him some more.

"SIINNG!" Purple squealed.

"But my Tallests!"

"Don't question your almighty leaders! Now sing." Red ordered.

Zim grumbled and started singing and dancing. "Ham, haaaam,….uh…I am ham…no I am ZIM….ham…with…uh…juuuuice. Yes! Juicy Ziiiim ham!…ham, ham…Meeeeeat!" He sang this as Gir danced around him and mini moose floated about his head adding a squeak to his song ever so often.

Woot! Next chapter we find out who exactly this surprise person is, but I want to involve you guys. I already have decided who it's gonna be but I wanna know what you guys think. You have two options > Tak or Skoodge. Everybody review and say who you think it is. And for those who didn't know what a lattice is Google it. It's one of those fence things on walls and stuff.
