Author's Note: Ha ha! Chapter two abounds. "huggles Dib" I wasn't certain where I was going to go with the second chapter. I decided we should have a look into the mind of Zim…

This should be interesting. Oo

Disclaimer: GAH! I want to own it. I really, REALLY do! It's genius! It's brilliant! But unfortunately… to the surprise of my poor deprived brain…. I do NOT own Invader Zim, Dib, or sadly… "tear" G.I.R. "huggles G.I.R. and cries"

Oh the in-irkeness! How was it that this DIB CREATURE must always hound him so? Dib was indeed the bane of Zim's mission. Dib was the knife in his squidillyspooch. The very shiny, triple barreled, living mass disintegrator in his face. And today he was at it again.

The need to go to Skool was by no means a need for Zim. He was not required to be there by either Irken or human law (which he considered himself by no means subject to) However, the insight he gathered into the human culture was rather helpful in his mission to conquer Earth. Except of course…the hamster incident.

Zim shuddered an Irken shudder and turned his attention to his current adversary. Dib was waiting outside with a new contraption, undoubtedly filled with water. He had no immediate fear of the water itself because he had that morning bathed in paste, the only problem with his paste solution was that after a while it wore off.

The human children were dwindling now. Soon there was the possibility that Dib would enter Skool with his water power weapon. Zim would rather avoid that if possible. The Bitters creature had a habit of hanging around to ensure as much misery on her underling students and would throw a fit if she witnessed a battle in the halls of her domain. Zim personally hadn't been a target to her wrath often but it was something he was trying to avoid. Not that he feared the Bitters creature. That was out of the question.

Dib was taunting him now.

"Come on out Zim!" he yelled. "I can see you! I am your…uh Zimmy Doom ….uh Creater Person! Face me if you dare!"

Zim snorted. "Dare? Dibstink. I am the mighty ZIM! I fear NO LIFE FORM!"

Zim's Invader instincts shifted into gear as he stepped out into the Earth planet's sun. His sense of everything heightened, kind of like Spider Man, except not. Because ZIM!... was not a man crossed with a spider. Stupid and improbable though it was, Zim had seen the human comic books, and though not impressed (G.I.R. was a different story and now had littered the house with the earthstink graphic novels) had tried to take over Earth with a genetically altered super hero… thing. It had malfunctioned and tried to eat Zim with bacon and eggs.

A spray of H2O immediately came flying in Zim's direction. He rolled out of the way and continued to dodge as the Dib creature laughed in manic glee. Zim sprinted for the jungle gym contraption that occupied the human children during the time called recess and before Skool commenced and climbed up onto it. Dib was hot on his heels and released another spray of water in Zim's direction.

This time the liquid hit the metallic fortress near to Zim and splashed his clothing. He growled an obscenity in Irken and climbed higher. When he had reached the top of the highest slide he scanned the ground for the Dib creature.

This was going to be another annoying sun cycle.

Author's Note: Ah. Zim. I have such great affection for his character. I know this chapter was really short. The next one will be longer. Kin will enter the picture next chapter. I think I am going to cycle through perspectives. Including G.I.R. He will get to tell us things his way in chapter 4. Muwahaha! Action and adventure await minions! Read on! Read ON!
