Needless to say it was strange for everyone in skool to find Zim and Dib talking about things as though they had always been friends. At the moment they were both laughing at the town's way of spelling "School" with a "K" instead of "CH" like everywhere else. "…I mean, come on, if it had been anyone else, they'd have thought this was a goldmine to start in as well without even making it to the capital." Zim was pointing out just how dumb an invader could be by basing their knowledge off of one area's culture and knowledge.
"Yeah, hehe, I guess that's why it was so easy to stop Tak?"
"HA, we got lucky, Tak is actually far superior to Zim in the ways of the warrior, while I, THE ALMIGHTY ZIM…" everyone was still too used to his ego every once in a while to care about it, same with his habit of talking in third person, "am superior to her in the ways of science." Dib nodded in understanding.
"What about her… cat?"
"Hmm? Oh, Mimi, that thing… Gir wasn't meant to be much more than my loyal companion anyway. The tallest messed him up though so I've been having to regularly repair him. I don't mind it so much though." Zim shrugged.
"How'd they mess him up?"
"Well when I pretended to be an invader, I had to hide Gir and the only way I could think of was to temporarily disable him and place him in a trash canister. Imagine my surprise when at the second invasion plan, the tallest take him out of the trash, after they had put some garbage into him…" Zim rolled his eyes. "And that's when I figured it was time to make my escape. Thankfully, Gir, ever the quick thinker, played along long enough for us to get here… I really need to figure out what possessed him to do the 'Doom Song' for six months though… I blame the tallest…"
"Doom Song? Do I want to know?" Dib chuckled.
"Oh, it's just Gir singing 'Doom' repeatedly for an obsessive amount of time." Zim grimaced as they entered the classroom. "He's not so bad usually, but six months of that and I had half a mind to repair him right there, even without the proper space or equipment."
"I'm impressed." Dib admitted.
"Oh, hey, wanna come down to the lab later after class? I can teach you more about…" Zim looked around and grimaced. "My skin condition."
"Really? That'd be cool!"
"Then it's a plan." Both Irken and Human shook hands again. That was when the entire class screamed in fear and backed away from the two. They weren't acting normal!
