Tapan: once again, I apologize for the slow slow update, and to make up for lost time, here's a new chapter!...oh and Torna and Jho.

Torna: we spent the last two months in a burlap bag.

Jhkitty: yeah, was that really nessesary.

Tapan: nope! But not to worry, it's over now!

Jhkitty:...god I hate you...

Disclaimer: Jhonen owns Invader Zim. Do I look like Jhonen? Okay, I made my point clear, I think!

Warning: Slash! ZADR, rape and bondage. Don't like it? Why are you reading this? Flame if you wish


The crimson eyed invader was positioned stretched, bound and nude in room of violent purple. Dib watched through a sheet of glass, unable to get to Zim.

Zim's head was bowed as the bind slowly worked their way around his body, looking like metallic violet vines as they tightened their hold on the lithe form. He let out a small gasp and cry as the binds threatened to snap his bones.

"zim!"the human started banging on the glass, trying to break it in order to help the irken.

Zim looked up at the paranormalist, crystal tears flowing down his cheek and off his face, shattering to millions of pieces as they hit the ground. Scarlet eyes locked on to amber in panic as the binds grew tighter.

Zim痴 eyes widened and he let out a howl, arching and shifting in an attempt to get free. His chest started to heave as he relaxed.

Dib put a palm to the window. "Zim! Hold on! I"ll get you out!" the human took a few steps back and threw his body into the pane, only to find it being like hitting steel. His eyes widened as he did it again.

"it's no use, Dib."

A wire moved away from Zim and moved before the irken, dancing like a snake threateningly.

"he's not worth it."

Dib could only watch as the wire shot into Zim's chest, stabbing through his back and in the process, his PAK. Zipper teeth clenched shut before opening to allow forest green blood to explode out. Red eyes shot open wide once more, only to go dull seconds later.

"ZIM!" he pounded his fists against the glass as his eyes started to tear over. He slid to the floor in a sobbing ball as the room turned dark.


"Dib!" the boy woke with a start as he felt a stick jabbing into his side. He looked up at Sizz-lorr, sleep and confusion clouding in his eyes.

The fry cook cocked an eye and pulled the stick away. "did you really sleep out here the entire night?"

The human swallowed then nodded, the dream still vivid in his mind.

Sizz-lorr snorted and moved to the front of the restaurant. "go get ready for work or whatever you aliens do."

Slowly, Dib pushed himself to his feet and stretched, a little sore from sleeping on the floor. Letting out a slight groan, he walked into the back and nearly tripped over Gashloog in the process.

The emerald eyed irken blinked up at Dib and smiled a little. "hello, Dib."

The human forced a smile and patted Gashloog on the head like a child as he walked around him to get cleaned up.


"this is probably the SLOWEST day in the history of Foodcourtia!" Gashloog stood at the counter and popped a small vortdog into his mouth, chewing as he offered one to Dib, who declined.

Suddenly, Zim burst from the bathroom and slammed the door shut, leaning against it just in time for a loud wet explosion. He panted and looked up at his fellow workers blankly. He cleared his throat a little before speaking. "you…don't want to go in there.・o:p>

"Zim!" all three of the employees flinched at Sizz-lorr's deep bellow from the back.

Zim's eyes widened a little as he glanced around, as if he was looking for a place to hide.

"you should go, Zim."Gashloog痴 monotone voice broke through the air. "it'll just be worse if you don't."

The taller irken glared and opened his mouth to speak, only to be cut off by the frylord again.

"ZIM! GET BACK HERE NOW!"

Zim jumped and let out a whimper, before heading into the back, trembling.

"you see.・Dib gestured to the door his enemy just walked through. "That's what I知 talking about."

" I know, I know. He's not the same egotistical little runaway he used to be." Gashloog looked away, grabbing another minivortdog. "but people change."


Two hours later, the restaurant was still slow, only getting a few customers.

Dib sighed and pressed a few buttons on the cash register, looking up at the large yellow blob. "is that all?"

The blob nodded with a large smile. "uuuuhyup." He looked down at Dib, curious. "you're new here, aren't you?"

Dib nodded and looked up at the blob.

The large creature's smile widened. " thought so. My name's Eric. I come here a lot."

Dib offered a small smile back "I'm Dib."

"nice to meet you!" Eric then turned away and headed to his booth to wait for his food.

The tray rushed by next to Dib and placed itself in the booth right before Gahloog walked up to the front counter again. "how many people is that now?"

"so far today, we've only had three people come in."

"hmm." The two watched as Eric ate what he ordered in one gulp, then walked back out, leaving them alone in the front again.

Dib sighed and leaned on the counter, his head snapping up as a scream sounded from the back. "there it is again!"

Gashloog looked up, eyes wide. "there's what?"

"don't play dumb. I know you here Zim screaming." He looked toward the back, eyes narrowing. "and I'll going to find out what's wrong."

"no! You can't" Gashloog ran up to the door, putting his body in front of it in an attempt to keep the human from going in back.

Dib simply pushed passed.

The irken turned and watched nervously as the paranormalist headed toward the back. "Dib! You can't go!"

"can, and I am!"

Gashloog's spider legs emerged from his PAK as he bounded forward, blocking the hallway in an intimidating fashion.

Dib was unfazed. He grabbed a hold of the metal appendage and pulled Gashloog off to the side and continued to go down the hall and to the room he heard the screams from.

Gashloog pushed himself off the ground and turned just in time to see the human open the door.

Dib's eyes widened at the sight before him, not expecting it at all. Zim laid on what looked to be a bed, tied tightly. His bare skin was covered in deep gashes, thin chest heaving. Sizz-lorr held onto his hips in a punishing grip, his member buried in the smaller irken's entrance.

The frylord looked up at Dib, glaring at the human as he pulled out and adjusted himself. After he finished that, he walked up and pushed the human out harshly, snarling. "l'll deal with you later."

Dib's world collapsed at the sight of the two, and it didn't reposition himself until the door slid closed behind the frylord. "wait! No!" he slammed his fists into the door, adrenaline pulsing through his viens. "get off of him!"

Somehow, the door opened once again, allowing a insanely angry Dib enter. He glared hatefully at the frycook and jumped at him, punching and clawing at any part he could reach.

Sizz-lorr scowled and easily threw him back, a spider leg shooting out and stabbing into the human's shoulder, causing Dib to cry out in pain.

Violent purple eyes board into raging amber as the bigger creature snarled. "i don't want to kill you, Dib, but if you continue this I may have to. If you leave and forget about this, then we can continue with our lives."

Dib responded by spitting in Sizz-lorr's face, the saliva landing near the frylord's eye with a sizzle.

The larger irken grunted and wiped it off his face before slamming a hand into the side of Dib's head harshly, knocking the boy out.


Tapan: ah, I feel better now! Another chapter done and stuff. Well, that's all for now, (usual ending speech) okay, see ya later!
