And with this little drabble I end this story. :'( But thanks to everyone who read and reviews, and look at the bottom of this story for a sneak-peek of something else. Hee-hee-hee.

Bonus Story: Frank-Dib-Stein's Monster

Dib was working in his lab late one night, dressed in a buttoned-up lab coat, hair wild from the static electricity that crackled from the eldritch machines working all around him. He rubbed his gloved hands together, a maniacal grin on his face, staring down at the metal table before him where something lay silently, a white sheet set carefully over it to hide it from sight.

"Yes...yes, finally, it is complete," Dib cackled, eyes alight with mad joy as he lay his hands down upon the sheet as if touching a holy relic. "Using the plans from Zim's own technology against him, I have found a way to construct the perfect weapon to defeat him! Soon, nothing will be able to keep me from stopping him and saving all of mankind!"

He threw back his head and laughed insanely, hair scythe bobbing as a blast of lightning lit the room from the small basement window, sending flashing shadows to dance upon the wall. Dib dashed over to one of the machines and threw a lever, and instantly every piece of equipment began to glow and crack, as electrical energy poured through them and into his creation under the sheet.

"Yes...yes..."

There was a sudden blast that almost knocked Dib to the ground---the sheet was thrown part-way off, and the face of his creation was visible. The dead black eyes and chest screen suddenly lit up, searching, and the creature's arms shot up into the air.

"Yes! It's alive! IT'S ALIVE! MWA-HA-HA-HA---well, actually it's a robot, so I guess it's not alive...but it's close enough! CLOSE ENOUGH! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Dib turned back to his creation, eyes wide with anticipation at the eerie sight...his robot, from the slab, began to rise...

...Then suddenly, to Dib's surprise---

"I DO DA MASH! OOH! I DO DA MONSTER MASH! DA MONSTER MASH! OOH! IT WAS A GRAVEYARD SMASH! I DO DA MASH! OOH! IT CAUGHT ON IN A FLASH! I DO DA MASH! OOH! I DO DA MONSTER MASH!"

The robot---almost a perfect copy of Zim's screaming insane little servant-thing---jumped up on the table and began to dance around wildly, screaming insanely. Dib's face fell.

"Apparently I still have some bugs to work out," he mumbled, shaking his head and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Keef, you can't honestly believe in that. I don't even believe in that. Me! The insane believe-in-everything Dib!"

"But it's true! I'll stay there tonight and prove it to you!"

Keef jumped up and down excitedly, pointing, as Gaz stared with wide eyes at the large shadowy shape rising from between the pumpkins...
