-Me- Yeah another chapter. I don't own Invader Zim, but I wish I did.
Setting 1 In the hall at Paige's locker
Paige was at her locker getting her lunch when Amethyst and Shadow walked up to her.
-Amethyst- Hey Paige.
-Paige- Hey Amethyst and Shadow, what's with the baby doll? (She said pointing to the baby doll in Amethyst's front carrier.)
-Amethyst- This is Shadow's and my baby for the project. Her name is Saya. The nurse had one and she gave it to us.
-Paige- That's not fair! Your baby already looks human and you did not have to make an outfit for it.
-Amethyst- Consider yourself lucky Paige, because this vile earth toy is programmed to cry every time I put it down or leave it alone. The school nurse also said it will act like a real baby. She seemed really glad to get rid of it, almost afraid. Haha! Foolish human I am not scared of a stupid doll. But, dealing with this dumb thing during the meeting is not going to be fun.
-Paige- Sounds like it. Anyway, what did you guys do in the nurse's office?
-Shadow- Well I called Kierra and she hacked into a list of allergies website and typed up Amethyst's flour allergy. And, she put that the best cure was to wait till the spots go away on their own and that the stress of the moment can sometimes lead to fainting spells.
-Paige- That was smart.
-Amethyst- Dah… So Paige how was your time with the new human?
-Paige- Oh Amethyst he's wonderful and so cute and…
-Shadow- Well I can tell that this is girl talk. So I'll see you guys later. Just watch out for that guy.
-Paige- Why…
-Shadow- Because he does not smell like a human, he smell like herbs of some kind.
-Shadow- Because he does not smell like a human, he smell like herbs of some kind. (He said and then he left.)
-Paige- Oh that was probably his crescent moon necklace. (She thinks about his necklace.)
-Shadow- Maybe but there was another smell with the rest. Just be careful. (He said and then he left.)
-Amethyst- O.k…
-Paige- Right that was weird. (She said as they began to start walking to the lunchroom.) Anyway he's sweet, nice, funny, cute, and he likes me.
-Amethyst- Cool I just hope you're not rushing into things like you did with Jess.
-Paige- Don't worry Amethyst Jason is nothing like Jess. In fact I think he's afraid of something.
-Amethyst- Really like what?
-Paige- I don't know, it just seems like he's got something to hide.
-Amethyst- Do you think he's an alien?
-Paige- No, not really. He was at your party when we came back to earth. He's the guy who convinced my parents to stay here and not take us all over the world again. He lied that we were at a science fair camp with him. If it hadn't been for Jason then I would have never seen you again. I have never seen my parents so mad or concerned.
-Amethyst- Well if he did all that then he is alright in my book. Now stop worrying and just enjoy tonight. He is coming over right?
-Paige- Yep…
-Amethyst- Then you'll be fine and… (She said as they arrived at their table. Zim and a couple of the other people from the big mission were there already.)
-Zim- Amethyst what happened to you?
-Shadow- (He arrived with his lunch.) Hey guys.
-Zim- Did you have something to do with this? (He said pointing to Amethyst's spots.)
-Shadow- Why do you always assume it's me?
-Zim- Because, somethings just are.
-Shadow- That doesn't even make any sense.
-Zim- So you admit it then.
-Amethyst- Zim, Shadow did nothing, Mr. Elliot got flour all over me and… (Just then the baby doll started crying.)
-Zim- Ahh! IRK! WHAT IS THAT CONTRAPTION! MAKE IT STOP!
-Amethyst- I will try! Saya, no! Bad baby! Your uncle did not mean to be mean to daddy.
-Zim- WHAT!
-Amethyst- You heard me right. It is all a part of our latest earth project. Read for yourself. (She gave Zim the info sheet. Julie read along with Zim.)
-Zim- Ugh- this is the most disgusting earth lesson I have ever heard of!
-Julie- Oh, I don't know about that Zim, sounds kind of like the health project I once assigned to my students.
-Tak- I remember that project. You paired me with the worst Irken ever, even worse than this headache. (She said pointing to Zim.)
-Zim- Hey, I would not work with you even if you were the last person on earth.
-Tak- At least we can agree on that- besides it was a stupid assignment.
-Julie- You're just saying that because you failed.
-Tak- I did not fail.
-Julie- I think I have the the paper still in my files somewhere. Should I show it to everyone?
-Tak- No wait please I…
-Saya- Wahh!
-Zim- Oh florp there it goes again!
-Amethyst- Saya- please.
-Rachel- Don't worry, Amethyst. I think I know what the problem is. It wants Zim to hold it.
-Zim- Me! Why?
-Rachel- Because you it's "uncle" all babies love family affection. (She said taking Saya away from Amethyst) Now hold it.
-Zim- Hey it stopped. Thank goodness. And… (It barffed on Zim.) Ahh!
-Shadow- Did you know it was going to do that?
-Rachel- Yep nobody messes with my brother. (She said hugging Shadow.)
-Tak- Hahah I like this kid.
-Zim- Julie, help!
-Julie- Alright I will see what I can do. (She grabbed the toy.) There there little one. Shh. (She started to sing.) You're alright you're ok. I'll never ever leave your side. I will fight I will stay with you. (She cradled it back and forth.) Aw there you see nothing to fear. Hmm well I think it fell asleep. At least that is what it sounds like. Here Zim clean your shirt. (She said, handing him a moist towel.)
-Zim- Thank you Julie. How did you get it to listen to you? (He said as he cleaned his shirt.)
-Julie- Practice, lots of smeets did not want to take their naps, but I would not have it. Sleep is good for growing infants.
-Zim- Julie don't compare that thing to one of our kind. Earth infants are horrifying. Amethyst, how long does this project last?
-Amethyst- Two days. Julie can I have Saya back?
-Julie- Right I guess she does need her mother. Can I hold her a bit longer though?
-Amethyst- Sure I guess it would not hurt for you to hold her till we have to go.
-Zim- Just keep it away from me.
-Skoodge- (Skoodge ran up to the table.) Guys, the Tallest want to see us now.
-Zim- Finally! We can leave this stupid earth skool early.
-Skoodge- Um Zim, you do realize we already could right?
-Zim- Silence Skoodge!
-Skoodge- Did I miss something? What's with the toy?
-Tak- I'll explain on the way.
-Julie- Alright Saya time to go back to mommy. Yes and you will not cry while we are at the meeting no you will not. (She puts her in Amethyst's carrier.)
-Amethyst- You are really good with her.
-Julie- Thanks. She is kind of cute.
-Amethyst- See you later Paige and good luck tonight.
-Paige- Yah you too.
-Will- Well they sure left in a hurry wonder what that big meeting was all about and… Dib are you still trying to fix that stupid machine?
-Dib-It's not stupid Will. I spent half of my allowance on it and I'm not spending another half to get another one.
-Will- Whatever.
-Jason- Hey Paige. (He said arriving at the table with his lunch and water battle. He sat next to Paige.)
-Paige- Jason where have you been?
-Jason- Just talking to my mom about tonight.
-Paige- Everyone this is my partner for the Skool Husband, Wife, and flour child project Jason.
-Will- Well at least that explains the flour sack. Nice seeing you again Jason.
-Jason- Thanks… You too Will. Hey Dib, you still trying to fix that tracker?
-Dib- Yep…
-Jason- Again, I'm really sorry.
-Dib- Don't worry about it Jason. I'm almost done fixing it.
-Jason- Oh you are? (He said very nervous as he took a drink from his water bottle.)
-Paige- So anyway Jason is coming over tonight for our sleepover.
-Will- Cool the more the merrier I always say and since our other friends couldn't make it…
-Jason- Excuse me I don't mean to intrude, but I just have one question. Can I bring my own drink to the sleepover? You see I have this condition where I can only drink this blinded stuff that my mom makes me.
-Will- Sure I guess so what is the stuff?
-Jason- Well it's…
-Gretchen- (She was walking up to the table with her tray in her hands and Keef was following her.)
-Keef- Come on Gretchen please?
-Gretchen- I'm sorry Keef, but I don't think I can go.
-Keef- But, it will be tons of fun and I was going to invite everybody and…
-Dib- Gretchen, Keef what's going on?
-Gretchen- Keef wants to know if we want to come with him to Los Vegas to see a Magic Show. (She said showing everybody the flier Keef had given her earlier.)
-Will- Sounds interesting, but you do realize that the magic in magic shows is completely fake right?
-Keef- Huh how can you say that Will? Magic is everywhere? WEEE!
-Will- O.k…
-Dib- So Keef how is it that you are getting to go anyway?
-Keef- Well my sister won the trip in a sweepstake. She wanted to go alone with her boyfriend Cody, but my mom and dad are going out of town tomorrow and they did not want to leave me home alone. So they made Lizzy bring me and Meef along. But, since Meef is going to be staying at his partner's house tomorrow he can't come. So I get to go and there are some extra tickets. So I figured you guys would love to come. My buddy Dib and Will and… Wait where's Zim and Amethyst?
-Paige- They have family issues to deal with and won't be back for a while.
-Keef- Oh I hope everything is alright. So do you guys want to come?
-Paige- I don't know Keef. I have a project with Jason and I…
-Keef- He can come too if he wants. I always love making new friends.
-Jason- No thanks I don't want to go back to Las Vegas ever again. And if you're smart you won't go there. (angry)
-Keef- But, I ah…
-Paige- Jason, are you alright?
-Jason- Yah I'm fine I have to go. I'll see you tonight Paige. (He left in a rush.)
-Keef- Well what was that all about?
-Paige- I don't know…
-Dib- There…
-Keef- So you'll come then?
-Dib- What no sorry Keef. I don't have time to go to Las Vegas just to see a magic show. I just got my tracker fixed and… (The tracker began to go off in the Vampire radar and witch section and it was pointing at where Jason was last sitting.) How odd.
Setting 2 Dib's House
Dib was packing his overnight bag and Thistle was watching him without his dog disguise on.
-Dib- Well I think that's everything. Hmm… my tracker said that there was a vampire or a witch in the lunchroom. I wonder who it could be… maybe… No I it has to be still broken I mean unless. (He was about to say something when he noticed that Thistle jumped into his overnight bag. Aww he wanted to come along.) No Thistle bad dragon. I'm sorry, but you can't come with me to Will's house. (Thistle looked at Dib with the cutest little stair ever. How could he possibly resist those cute dragon eyes?) Now don't give me that look. Jason is coming too and he does not know the truth. I can't risk losing you. Your parents trusted me with you and I'm not going to let them down. And beside I would hate it if anything bad happened to you. (Thistle flew up to Dib and hugged and licked him.) Thanks and don't worry I'll be fine. I'll see you tomorrow Thistle. (He grabbed his bag and left. Thistle ran up to the window and watched as Dib went next door.)
-Dib- Hey guys.
-Gretchen- (She ran up and hugged Dib.) Dib what took you so long?
-Dib- Sorry about that, but I had a hard time finding all my movies and Thistle wanted to come, but I told him no and he was so sad and… (Jason arrived with his overnight bag and Thistle saw him coming in. He could smell that there was something wrong with Jason.)
-Jason- Hey guys.
-Paige- Jason you're here. Well what are you waiting for, come on in Jason.
-Jason- Thanks. (He walked in and Thistle looked at him then at the tracker that was still going off in the vampire/ witch section. So Thistle turned on his disguise and grabbed the tracker in his mouth. He did not know if Jason was evil or not, but he knew that he was not human. And he was going to protect his friends.)
-Me- Well that is it for this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it and until next time ZIM WILL LIVE FOREVER!
