A/N: Sorry I was gone. Here's the next chapter.


Zim was in deep thought as he sat inside his base. After losing Derrick, he had retreated home for the day and began pondering what his next move was in figuring out who Derrick is.

"Blasted hyuman!" he snapped as sat at his computer and looked over a few projects he was working on. "Still, to evade me while being observed is impressive. Nevertheless, I will discover his dwelling! And far quicker than Tak, the Dib-Stink, or Little Gaz! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" he cackled before an alarm went off. "Who dares approach the base of ZIM?!"

"It's Gaz Membrane." the computer answered as a screen lowered, showing a live feed of Gaz standing at the door.

"Why would she be here? Another attempt of her brother's to invade my base, no doubt!" Zim declared.

"Or maybe she found Derrick and came to tell you?" the computer guessed. Zim only growled at the computer before walking towards the elevator, sending him up to his kitchen with his disguise on. He walked to the door and opened it find Gaz standing there, her usual scowl on her face.

"Hello, Little G-" he began, only for Gaz to march in, which included knocking Zim over and painfully stepping on him. Zim laid there in pain for a moment before standing up to readjust his wig while scowling at Gaz, who was now sitting on the couch and playing her game. "I did not give you permission to enter!" he growled.

"Wouldn't of mattered." she said as she continued playing, her eyes never leaving the screen. Zim's eye twitched before a high-pitched squeel came from Gir as he ran inside the room, stopping only when he hit a wall. Zim stared at him before looking back at Gaz, who didn't even bother looking at either of them.

"Should I be expecting your brother to arrive?" Zim asked.

"Probably." she replied as Gir stepped back and looked at Gaz.

"Yaaaay! Big boobed scary lady is here!" he yelled in joy.

'Oh great.' Gaz thought as she played. 'Even Zim's stupid robot is looking at my breasts?'

"Since you're here, have you and the Dib-worm found Derrick?" Zim asked.

"No." Gaz answered as she saved her game, turned it off, and put it away. "My father was too busy filling us in about that stupid test everyone's taking Monday."

"Ah yes. Your parental unit was at skool today." Zim remembered. "What was that about?"

"Something very stupid." she growled. "You'll find out Monday."

"Hmm. So you haven't found the Derrick hyuman, nor will you tell me about the test?" Zim asked.

"That's about it." she shrugged.

"Then why did you come here?!" Zim snapped.

"Because I needed to get away from both my brother and dad!" she snapped back, her eyes open and full of anger. Her eyes closed as she looked ahead at the blank T.V. "It's the only place I could think of to get away." she said before grabbing Gir's hand, stopping him from touching her breasts. "Don't touch those." she warned before throwing him into the kitchen and sighing.

"If you are going to stay here, please refrain from damaging Gir and my base." Zim told her. Her only response was a grunt. "I'll take that as a 'yes'." he said before heading back down through the toilet, leaving her alone in the room. She laid down on the couch and stared at the ceiling, her mind going back to the discussion with her father.

-Flashback-

Gaz, Dib, and Prof. Membrane were sitting at the kitchen table, with the Professor holding up a holographic chart of all his contributions to mankind. Dib was hoping for his dad to hurry so he could try and locate Derrick, while Gaz just listened in boredom.

"In conclusion, my contributions to Science are vital to everyone on Earth!" he declared before looking back at his children.

"Okay, but what does that have to do with this strange test you're having everyone take on Monday?" Dib asked after his dad was finished.

"A fine question, son." Prof. Membrane said as he pointed at the greying hairs on his head. "As you can see, I'm not getting any younger. And all experiments to stop the aging process have ended in failure."

"We know." Gaz answered. "We could hear the explosions."

"Since they all failed, I had to face reality. I will one day pass on, leaving this world devoid of many scientific discoveries." Prof. Membrane continued. "And I have a sneaking suspicion that neither of you seem to care for Science." Gaz only shrugged while Dib tried to counter how he was needed to stop aliens and other things. "Yes yes. All those insane things you do. However, I have found a solution to this problem."

"By making kids take tests?" Dib asked.

"This is no ordinary test." Prof. Membrane mused. "It is an I.Q. Test that I have spent months making. It's purpose is to find the most intelligent students, both male and female, out there."

"So, you're looking for nerds?" Gaz asked with one eye partially opened. "For what?"

"Well, I'll only allow the most intelligent to marry either of you." he said. Both of their eyes flew open at those words.

"MARRY?!" Dib yelled in shock.

"Of course!" their father replied as if it was the most simple thing in the world. "And I'll help the children you bear follow the path of Science!" Prof. Membrane declared dramatically, his hand raised in the air. The two children just stared with wide eyes as he put his hand down and walked towards his lab table. "Well, I've got work to do now."

-Present-

Gaz turned to lie on her side as her face adopted a very rare look of sadness. She didn't really like people. To her, everyone was stupid. How they don't have any objection to a brand of soda called 'POOP' was beyond her. And now she had been told that she was to marry some brainy nerd, just so that her father could have it walk in his shoes. Her child...she shuddered at the thought. To have a child would mean sex, and that was the last thing she wanted to think about after being poisoned and nearly raped. She didn't say it out loud, but she had been terrified that day. The thought of that sick pervert ravaging stayed with her after she sent him to the hospital. Even her dreams had been nothing but nightmares of her being his sex slave. She hugged herself with a sigh before she felt someone standing next to her. She turned to see Gir smiling at her.

"What?" she asked in annoyance. He didn't say anything, but he raised his hands towards her again.

-In the base below-

Zim was checking his experiments until her heard something crash down one of the tubes. He turned to see Gir in pieces, his head giggling a lot.

"Scary lady's super squishy!" he cheered.


A/N: I won't lie. I probably could've done better with this chapter. Just can't seem to get anything good flowing through my brain. Also, I spell 'school' as 'skool' because it's how it was spelled in the series. Those who say I can't spell it right should rewatch the series.
