I do not own Invader Zim okay? I know it's been a little while since I updated this one and in the meantime most of my update efforts have been other places but I will get to it eventually. Anyway I am sure you didn't come to hear me complain about writer's block and other fandoms musing so enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

"Buckle up ladies. I highly suggest this as this is going to be a rather bumpy ride. I think I am the only person who attempted this on a car." Dib said as he pressed the button causing the sedan to rumble and two wings sprouted out from under the car and to the side and then small jet boosters came out of them.

"What in the name of the heavens above is this?" Tenn asked looking out the window. Tak looked as well and saw the improvements to what she thought was just a typical newer car a parent who thought things could make up for being there when their children came of age to drive.

"Just a few improvements I made in case I needed to case something fast, get over the forests and the city, just anything. There's some benefits to being Professor Membrane's son." Dib laughed as they headed up over the traffic and out of town. "Just let me know where you want me to drop you off. "

"But what if they follow us?" Tenn asked concerned.

"Well I have some things here to help fight aliens. I guess I can see if they work." Dib said proudly as he pulled a pair of handcuffs from the center consul. Tak looked at the city as they flew. "Tak, Tenn I can't keep this up for long! I only have limited antimatter in those engines! And my dad's going to want to hear about this!"

"About the aliens?" Tenn gulped.

"Nah, he wouldn't believe in them if one of them walked up to him without a disguise and said 'Here I am, an alien extraterritorial not human.' Because trust me, that man can be the master of denial when I showed him pictures I had." Dib said. "But this whole thing was experimental and he was proud when I wanted to work with him to put it on.

"So he lets his son be a test monkey for something that could be very dangerous?" Tak said as they flew over the patch of woods that was the hideout. She could clearly see the shape of the ship. Well that is something that we are going to have to work on. Humans have air travel and a whole website where you can see satellite detail of an area. That is a bad bad bad bad bad weakness. Someone would see us that way. "Seems kind of irresponsible of a parent?"

"You think that's bad, you should try what he did to Gaz when I accidently cursed her with pig mouth…." Dib said as Tak noticed a clearing a few miles from the base.

"HERE!" Tak yelled, causing Dib to jump and the he circled the car around a few times into the field with a pathway to a country road and a barn nearby giving a good plausible deniability if Dib asked too many questions or was trying to be too gentlemanly. Just say that barn was part of the scary dad's property and that she and Tenn would be safe from there and he could go home. Dib landed and turned off the car. He got to undo his seatbelt as Tak undid hers and dove out of the car.

"I was going to get the door for you. And you sure you want me to drop you two off here?" He noticed the barn.

"Nah, it's fine, right Tenn?" Tak asked as she got out of the car nodding, following Tak's lead. "You see that barn belongs to our very protective father. He trusts us on our own but he sees us with someone with a penis, he will shoot them on site. I like you too much to make you eat a blast of his gun."

"Okay I guess. See you Monday at school then!" Dib waved. "Of course I will call you or will your dad find some way to kill me thought he phone?" He teased.

I am sure us Irkens could do that…. Tak thought. "Oh he's fine with me talking with boys, even hanging out at school events because he thinks they are supervised and nothing could happen there…." At this she laughed.

"He's weird…" Tenn added. "Are you sure this can get though the field?"

Dib smiled. "Of course." With another press of a button, it raised off the ground and the tires became more of an off road style. "Once again, another Membrane Labs prototype developed by Dib Membrane with some help of his father's equipment. Made to seem like I am into normal things he'd approve of and said when it is perfected my name will be on the patents. But I had thought of their usage in paranormal investigation as well. See you guys later. Nice meeting you Tenn!" Dib waved as he drove off. Tak and Tenn waved until she was certain that they were out of sight of him and they headed back to the base with their purchases.

"Well that was fun." Tenn said. "You got a nice homecoming dress for yourself and you know Dib really cares about you."

"I saw the base from overhead." Tak said as she stepped over a log heading into the clearing.

"No way, I mean we concealed it! I know because when we walk out to leave it looks like a house! Like a normal human house!" Tenn pleaded.

"But I saw it from above. Humans have satellites and websites that they might be able to see that!" Tak yelled, causing some birds to fly off and she covered her mouth and looked around.

"Nice…." Tenn said. "Well let's go on." She said as they walked into the base to find Red and Purple standing at the door.

"Well well ladies. I have viewed what you found and want to go over your excellent information I found in a random bunk inspection." Red said as he put his claws on their shoulders and led them inside. Tak looked to Tenn and both looked at each other nervously.

Skoodge ran up to Zim who had landed a few blocks from the mall panting. "I think they got away." He panted as he met up to Zim.

"Blast!" Zim said as he fired around a laser blaster, causing some of the people nearly to have their hair singed.

"Come on, let's go back to the base." Skoodge said as Zim screamed and ranted as they headed back to the base.

"Fine." Zim said. "I will let the Tallest know about what happened to them. We are likely going to have to likely save them later."

"I know we can do it." Skoodge said hopefully.

Dib had drove home and put his car in the garage and noted what had happened that day for how it worked. It was part of what he had to do for his dad so he could use his labs and make his own tools and upgrades to his car. Shame I didn't get to test my alien fighting tools. I mean that was what had to be following us. Had to be. No one is that green. At least that I know and while if I tell Dad that then I would be dismissed as ignoring a medical condition and he'd want me to find them and bring them in. While I would love to catch an alien for Dad to look at to finally see the DNA. As he typed the data he had gathered from the trip. "And I have to email my dad a scientific report about the improvements I made. Yes, I used his stuff and his technology and stuff and it would be part of his labs when he goes to sell it to the public but I want to just spend time with him." He noted as he scanned over the area he had flown to try and see the distance he flew and drove and do the math. He then looked over the clearing he had seen something with Gretchen a few weeks ago. "Wait…." He said as he looked at the clearing. "What the hell is that?" He said as he zoomed in as far as the map would let him. "It's blurry as hell but I don't think that is anything of this Earth…." He then captured the screenshot of it and then printed it and ran into Gaz's room. "GAZ!" He said kicking down her door as she was playing her game.

She jumped and turned to him, face growing red with rage. "AWWWWWWWWW FUCK!" She yelled as she threw her headset at him. "If there is one thing I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN IN YOUR 18 YEARS ON THIS PATHETIC PLANET IS TO STAY OUT OF MY ROOM!" She yelled as she ran over and grabbed him around his neck and threw him down on her bed and yelled "SECURITY!"

"Wait! Wait! Gaz! What do you think of this picture!" She grabbed the picture in his hand and looked at it. "Just what the hell am I looking at? Can't you get Tak to look at this? She should be more interested in this that I am. She sat with you and watched that freaking Mysterious Mysteries show with you. Or Gretchen. She has been drooling all over you since the 5th grade."

"You're the closest one here!" Dib pleaded. "This was the clearing that Gretchen and I were stargazing in and we think there was two aliens who came and knocked us out and there is a weird looking thing there."

"When was this satellite image?" Gaz asked, having learned at this point to at least humor her brother when he was getting deeply involved with a paranormal discovery. It helped to keep her from being the unwilling subject of curses, ghosts, and any other paranormal phenomenon since she helped him discuss ideas.

"It says it was taken a week ago." Dib read.

"Well it should still be there if it is a permeant structure. But stay out of my room. Seriously." She growled. "I just died and got publicly humiliated because of your little stunt there. This is a new game and I have an image to maintain to keep my followers going and keep paying for my shit. Now get out." Dib took this as his hint and headed out. He knew he had to call Tak later and yeah, he was a good friend of Gretchen and she should at least be informed of what is going on with what happened. He had sworn her to secrecy which she said and had kept. But yeah it would be nice to include Gretchen in this discovery Dib thought as he looked up for the floor, the concussion of Gaz slamming her door shut knocking him down. He sighed and headed back to his room to send Gretchen a message. Hey Gretchen. Remember when we were knocked out at that clearing? Well I found this when looking over the satellite map of the area for a project I am working with my dad on. I don't remember it being there when we were, do you? This scan is from last week so it's recent. What are your thoughts? I am sure you want to know what is happening and my search for the truth would not be complete without what you think. You are a great person to bounce ideas off of anyway, better than Gaz who I know does it only bedgrudenly. Can't wait to hear back. Dib. He typed and sent the email, curious as to see what she would draw from that conclusion. "And now to write the most boring technical report about fleeing a stalker and attacker of two young ladies instead of what I think they were. Then again if they were aliens coming after Tak and Tenn, then I wouldn't be lying and if they were. But just why would they of all the billions of people on Earth and millions in the city. Was it me?" Dib questioned as he sent his report of the car's flight to his dad. As soon as the reply was sent, he got a message. Dib opened it hoping for some praise from his father. "'Thank you for emailing Professor Membrane. I will review what you have sent and reply when I am not busy with SCIENCE FOR ALL MANKIND!'" Dib sighed. "Freaking automated reply."

So how was that? Good? Bad? Long? Short? Let me know in a review. Yeah I know I don't update like I do my others. I am still working on this! Hopefully here in a few weeks I will have more time as work will be up for the season. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
