Dib rose an eyebrow and asked," Um how exactly did you get outside Zim?" Zim responded calmly," Robot legs." Dib shook his head and said," You could have used the door?" Zim smirked and said," And miss the look on your face, the mighty Zim would never miss that chance." Dib sighed and continued his show, one of the doors swung open as Professor Membrane walked out.

Looking to his wrist he said," Alright, let's get going you three, time is of the essence, and afterwards we shall engage in a movie since I believe that is what a family does together!" He placed a book down before he walked out, Zim looked at it, it read," Beginners Guide to Family Night" Zim chuckled under his breath and followed them.

Zim was surprised at the speed the man was traveling, passing by three motorcycles and a cop car he quickly slammed the breaks and parked the car, Zim was still clutching his chest trying to make sure his heart (or whatever actually pumps blood through his body, probably his Squeedily-spooch) was still working, Professor Membrane opened the back seat and helped them out.

Zim cringed at the building, he could still remember the horrid poorly made machines that roamed inside, gulping slightly he continued into the building with the others. They picked out a table, Dib sat on the window side near Gaz, so he had to sit on the window side of Professor Membrane. Zim noticed that Professor Membrane didn't seem to eat the food there, although he himself wasn't really eating it either, but what held the human from eating it.

Dib noticed Zim's curios expression and said," Dad usually doesn't eat the food here, something to do with the condense of what's in it, but he will eat it when he needs to, he doesn't really like it here that much, but as long as we are happy with it he is happy to take us." Zim was surprised he answered his question so quickly and didn't even yell at him about being an alien yet, but that was sure to follow at some point.

Professor Membrane said," So son, how long have you and Zim known each other?" Dib responded," Um, since fourth grade or so I think?" Professor Membrane nodded and said," You know I remember my first friend; of course he was the first to go at the sleep over….. No one touches MY science experiment and gets away with trying to steal it…."

Professor Membrane spent the rest of the time at the dinner explaining what happened at the sleep over, Zim had heard most of it, but it was still a very interesting story, Professor Membrane finished," And after that day I knew I was destined to use my science to better the world! Anyway I think it is about time we get back, get a takeout box and meet me by the car!"

Zim stretched his arms since he hadn't moved much in the time spent listening and sitting at the table, he finished off the remainder of pizza and hopped down, Gaz and Dib followed after gathering the take out box and quickly entered the car. Membrane drove just as fast as he did when he was heading there as he did driving back, with a slight twist of the wheel the car spun a few times before parking perfectly into the lot.

Zim shook his head as dizziness rushed to his head, he wobbled as he got out of the car, Dib was similar but he was more used to it so they were able to move easier, it took a whole ten minutes to enter the house and finally reach the couch were they were supposed to watch some movie, if it went on like this he was going to go insane.

The movie started out alright, there was a girl who was playing in a field outside of a school, but about ten minutes in the girl ended up in the school's boiler room, a man with a black mask and two slits to see out of approached her, he chuckled slowly as he reached out and grabbed her by the hair. She screamed and tried to kick him but he just laughed at her attempt, moving forward he positioned her above the opening to the boiler, he released her in and her agonizing screams echoed through the school.

Zim was interested in the movie, Dib seemed a bit concerned at the level of violence and the gory scene with the janitor and the mean bully that got a beat down from him, Gaz smirked as she could tell when something bad would happen to one of the preppy girls who were too stupid to understand what was going on around them.

Professor Membrane was twitching slightly; he was definitely not used to being away from his technology this long and was most likely hoping it would end soon. Zim was outraged as the credits rolled across the screen for the end of the movie, he shouted," What that is not possible, how could that petite girl have launched the killer into the boiler, he was like twice her size, the mighty Zim protests this ending!"

Dib sighed and slapped his head he said," Don't whine, of course he died, it's a horror movie, almost all of them end up either with the killer being caught, killed, or they escape, sure it doesn't make sense, but they're not going to let him win you know?" Zim was still furious and glared at the screen again, Professor Membrane nodded his head.

He said," Yes Zim you are definitely right, her body mass and weight would never have been able to push his body mass the five feet up it would have needed to get into the opening above them, oh if only science had been involved it would have been easier to solve such a problem!" Zim smirked at Dib and said," You see, even the parental unit agrees with the might Zim!"

Dib grumbled as he walked past Zim and walked up the stairs into his room. Zim pulled the blanket that one of them had given him up, and wrapped himself in it; his eyes glistened in the moon light as he gazed out into the open sky. He could not sleep just yet and still was trying to reason with himself all that was running through his head.

A sudden creaking caught his attention as the front door seemed to open slightly, a shadow appeared from behind it, Zim shrunk down as he tried to seem less noticeable, two figures appeared in the door, one had a strange metal device in his hands, he was slapped by the other one as he said," Why would he be here, this isn't even his base, get your tracker fixed!"

The other one rubbed his head and said," Sorry but it did register this house or home or whatever as the location." The other shook his head again as he walked away, the other quickly but quietly shutting the door before running after him. Zim stood from his spot, turning to look outside he could see the figure more clearly in the moonlight.

They were both the same height, the one who had the tracker was wearing a purple winter coat, he had long black hair and green eyes, or so they looked, his outfit was mainly the coat that was very fluffy looking and wrapped his whole body, he had black pants on as well as dark purple shoes, on his back was a backpack.

The other guy was wearing a similar jacket but it was a dark crimson red, his eyes were a yellow color, he had white hair that went over one of his eyes, he was wearing a medallion over his neck, he also had a backpack. Zim couldn't place it at first, but he could swear he had seen them somewhere, they just seemed so familiar.

Slowly he walked out of the house, trying to stay hidden he moved along the edge of the snow until he was about ten to fifteen feet away, he heard the one wearing red say," Why didn't we just ask Gir or whatever where he was, it definitely would have saved us time trying to locate him ourselves, I mean we were there right?"

Zim was even more surprised, he thought," Wait did they say Gir?" The other one said," but Red how would we have found him even if we asked, it isn't like he was with Zim?" Zim instantly rose from the ground he was crouched behind, he said while saluting quickly," My Tallest what are you doing here?" Red and Purple jumped in surprise at his sudden appearance.

Red cleared his throat and said," Oh yes, um well it seems that we were kind of sent through a teleporter and ended up on this planet about a month ago… So we decided to go and look for you, after we were able to build a tracker device from pieces you Gir gave us we were able to track you here….. Wait what are you doing here?"

Zim was a bit surprised he asked," Why were you looking for me?" Red scratched his head and said," Well since you are the only actual invader here that we know, it would be easier to get back to the Massive with the help of someone who at least knows about Irken technology." Zim scratched his chin, he asked," But why did you not send a signal to the Massive to come and get you?"

Red gritted his teeth and said," Damn it all Zim, can you help us or not?" Zim was taken back a bit by the sudden hostile act, he quickly responded," Well I suppose, but it will take a few days, you will have to stay at my house for the remainder of this weekend." Purple asked curiously," Um what is this weekend?" Zim was heading back to the house and said," It is the time of the week where I don't have to go to the dreaded Skool, and Skool is where I have been learning of the pig humans, head back to my base and wait for me, I will be back tomorrow."

Red and Purple still had much to ask but decided against wasting more time than they had since the night was becoming colder, Zim pulled at the door to see that it was locked, a sudden chill rushed his back as he shook from the cold, climbing up the house he found the window he had used to climb out earlier was still open, reentering the house he scurried down the stairs and made it back to the couch he was sleeping on.

The night went by quickly and he was awoken rather abruptly as someone shoved him off of the couch, rubbing his now bruised head he glared up to see Gaz smirking down at him, she said," Oops sorry about that." She sat down and flipped the TV on, Zim sighed and pushed himself up, and he noticed that Dib was in the kitchen, smirking to himself he slowly crawled across the room.

Behind him now making sure no sound was made as he tapped his shoulder, Dib jumped a foot before glaring back at Zim, he shouted," don't do that, I hate it when Gaz does that and I will beat you with an umbrella if you do it again!" Zim smirked and said," Pease, your inferior weapon threat does not scare Zim, he has seen thousands of these umbrellas and they do not pose a threat to Zim."

A shock of pain rang through Zim's head as he backed away rubbing his forehead were a mark was visible, holding up the umbrella again, Dib says," Not going to hurt you huh?" Zim growled as he tackled Dib to the ground, he shouts," How dare you hit the superior skull of Zim!" Dib shoved him off and said," How dare you invade our planet!"

Zim shouted back," How dare you look at me with such an immense head!" Dib growled and said," It's not large!" "If both of you don't stop it right now I will personally ring you both by the necks and make you wish you were at each other's mercy!" Dib and Zim quickly backed away and quieted down, Gaz held her glare another minute before turning back to the television.

Professor Membrane barged in and said," Alright everyone who is ready to start hanging decoration and putting up the tree for Christmas." Zim asked," Uh that is the third time Zim has herd the parental unit say Christmas like that, is it a bother… will squids eat our heads!" Zim recoiled from a thought about the horrible robotic squid he had created.

Dib said," Yah it has something to-" Professor Membrane shouted," Christmas is when that fat jolly man comes around, it isn't Christmas I don't like, it is Santa, but Santa is always mixed with Christmas therefore I need to be angry at Santa in every way, that fat man tricked me once, but no longer, I will have my revenge you can all count on that!" He glared off into the distance, Dib waving a hand in his face trying to get his attention.

Zim said," So he does this every year?" Dib hopped down after his futile effort and said," No not really only when Santa is brought up or Christmas some times." Zim noticed it again, how Dib was answering his questions right away instead of trying to rid the Earth of him, shaking his head he remembered the events of last night and remembered what he had to do.

Rushing to the door he shouted," Zim must check on Gir, I will return later since I have already survived one day, it will not kill him a second." Rushing out before any question he quickly made his way back to his home, the snow slowing him down do to it being everywhere in sight, sighing as he finally dragged himself to the door he managed to shove his way in and close it behind him, sliding to the floor exhausted from the storm and snow.

There were three figures now in front of him, or at least on the couch nearby, Gir was smiling back and forth between Purple and then to Red, Red who noticed Zim quickly shot up and rushed over he said," Finally Zim, this thing has been nothing but talking to us since we got here, it is pure torture how can you possible stand listening to him?"

Zim shrugged and merely said," I do my best, for I am Zim!" Red shook his head quickly and said," Alright then Zim, like we told you yesterday we need your help to get the Massive back." Zim turned slowly after beginning to walk away, he asked," What do you mean get the Massive back?" The two rubbed the back of their heads, Purple said," It was kind of….. Overtaken." Zim's eyes were wide open, this was way trickier then he first thought.
