Chapter 5: A Day around Town

"Now then, because you are too tall for the voot runner, I shall walk you around the filthy planet. This will give you a look at the pathetic natives whom populates this filthy rock!"

Red was finding it very hard not to laugh at Purple. Purple was very annoyed at this. "Can't we change my disguise? I look horrible!" Was one of the many protests he had given during the elevator trip.

"NO! That disguise will be perfect! No one will think to question who you are, except…" His eyes narrowed significantly "…DIB." He said the name with the quality of, say, acid burning through metal.

"Yeah, about this Dib-person. Why haven't you gotten rid of him? Why are you still dealing with him?"

"Because all attempts of eradicating the pitiful earth-worm baby have always been thwarted, anything I try fails miserably." Zim said miserably.

"Maybe cause you're stupid." Purple said under his breath. Red began to crack up. Zim was not happy.

"SILENCE! DO NOT QUESTION YOUR MASTER, THE ALMIGHTY ZIIIIIIM!"

Red and Purple were unable to say anything to that.

"GIR! We are leaving now, WATCH THE HOUSE FOR THE HORRIBLE DIB KID!"

After they finally departed the base, hampered only by a slight separation issue from GIR, they began to see the sights, so to speak. First stop, Dib's house. The Enemy.

"This is the pitiful human whom always has to thwart my attempts at WORLD DOMINATION! I go to skool with him, which I will show you soon."

"Okay, and why do we need to know this?"

"So, my slave, you can avoid him and help me DESTROY him." Zim went into lunatic mode on this, "You cannot escape my wrath Dib. You shall perish along with everyone else… Vengeance shall be MINE!"

Purple looked at the horribly insane Irken near him. "Ah, Zim? Why are you talking to yourself? It's kind weird to look at."

Zim spun around, with an innocent look on his face. "What are you talking about? I wasn't talking to myself."

Purple placed his hand in his face and sighed. He had it all, now he was serving the very one he hated most. "WE CONTINUE!" Zim shouted, scaring some cats in the process.

Next stop was the skool. "This is where the earthanoids come to learn. It is sad; the system is inferior compared with our method. I have enrolled you here to attend skool with me. You start tomorrow! Here you will see the Dib-filth attempting to identify me as an alien. But everyone assumes he's crazy! CRAZY!"

As the tour continued, it went past the mall ("Where they buy pathetic item with there so called 'money'), the taco food place (A staple among the earthanoids, and a personal favorite with GIR), and other such places. Along the way they encountered many of the citizens doing the things they normally do. And it confused Red and Purple. They didn't have a chance, however, to discuss it until they got home and Zim went off to check on his nuclear blob of death.

"My god, I can't tell who's stupider, Zim or the inhabitants!" Red said in surprise.

Purple readily agreed to that. "Yeah, I mean, did you see those people getting into a fight over a copper circle? What was with that?"

But before they could continue further, Zim hailed them. "RED! PURPLE! Come here! It is time to make our first report to Tallest Green!"

"Oh no…" "Here we go again…"

Green was fast asleep in his luxurious penthouse suite aboard The Massive when the call came in. "My Tallest, I hate to wake you, but you have a call from Earth."

"Hmmmerrrr? Wuzzat? Lemme lone…"

The lone technician really hated to do this, I mean; you just don't bother The Almighty Tallest. "S-sir? My Tallest? Please, you have a transmission coming through."

"Zzzz, I love you cold, unfeeling, metal arm…"

"Sir! Wake up! You have a call!"

Finally, a response. A sudden burst of motion caught the lone technician by surprise and he could then say that Almighty Tallest Green and quite the arm span. Of course, he was also sleeping near the edge of the bed, not in the center. "Whaaaaaat is it?" Green moaned.

"Irk, I am most sorry sir, but you have a transmission coming in…"

Green didn't make any motion, not even to turn his head, which was face first in the covers, to look at the technician. "Tell them I'm busy."

"Ah, but sir, it's from earth."

Green looked at him. "Really? From whom…? Zim? Red? Purple?"

"Zim, my Tallest. The transmission is from Zim."

Green let the technician go. "Very well, transfer the call to my suite and get me some nachos. Extra cheese."

Green got up from his immense bed and rubbed his green eyes. God, how he loved being Tallest, it was easier than you would think. Yes, there were decisions to be made, but on the whole, he just lounged around and made sure things went as they were supposed to do. No sooner than he had gotten our of the bed, the screen in his room came on and he was face to, eh, face with Zim, Red, and Purple. "Ah, Zim! So good to hear from you. How is everything?"

Zim managed a bow. "My Tallest, sir, I wish to report on the progress I am making."

Green smiled. "Go on."

"Well, My Tallest, I have given Red and Purple ingenious disguises to help them blend in with the earthanoids. These disguises were put to the test as I showed them around the place. No one noticed them. I have enrolled them in skool and they shall attend classes with me."

Green put up a hand to silence him. "Hold on, aren't the earth-worm babies as tall as you, Zim?"

"Why, yes, My Tallest, yes they are."

"I see. Well, then won't someone notice when they arrive in class with you?"

Red and Purple went wide eyed. "YES! That's what we've been saying to him!" Purple cried out. "But he won't listen."

"With good reason, slave." Zim responded. "The earth-worm babies will not know any different. They shall assume you are taller than they are. The only one who will say different is Dib." (Again, he said the name with the quality of acid on metal)

Green smiled. "Good. Report to me tomorrow after school."

Zim gave a grand salute. "Yes, sir, My Tallest." The screen clicked off, and his nachos were delivered.

Green took them off the tray, and looked at them despondently. He looked at the servant who delivered him. "Next time, give more cheese."
