A few weeks started going by, then months, and before anybody knew it, Halloween was right around the corner. Dib was not too excited about it this year, and has decided to stay away from his dad's equipment, just in case. Gaz, who decided to actually participate this year, went to a thrift store and got lord-knows-what from it. Zim, well, deciding to stay away from Dib this time, starts planning on taking over Earth again, this time on Halloween.
Finally, the fated day arrived. Dib, who decided not to dress up, called upstairs,
"Gaz! Are you ready yet?" A stuffed animal that was thrown downstairs answered as a 'no'. Dodging the stuffed animal, Dib made sure that he had his bag with him this time. He checked again, and yes, all of his alien equipment was in there. Something told him that Zim was planning something this Halloween, and he wanted to be prepared.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" cried Gaz from upstairs. The stuffed animal flew back upstairs as Gaz came downstairs. Needless to say, Dib was shocked. Gaz was dressed as a gothic bride with a scythe. Her dress consisted of a black and dark purple corset with a short black skirt and dark purple streamers dangling out of the corset and down the skirt. She wore a black crown with a purple gem and a black spider-web veil hanging down from the crown. Her scythe had a black handle with purple glitter all over it. The blade itself had purple ribbons criss-crossing around it and ended with a bow at the end of the blade. Gaz was beautiful, but more hauntingly sort of way. "Well, are we going or not?" asked Gaz. Dib got out of his shock and nodded. So, the teens got the rest of their stuff together and left, avoiding Mrs. Membrane completely for once. Thank God.
At school, Gaz wasn't the only one who dressed up. Numbers of sexy nurses and Transformer robots crowded Hi-Skool hallways. Plus a few other home-made ones really made the hallways diverse. The most surprising thing that Dib saw though (surprising, not shocking) was Zim, without his disguise. Zim saw Dib and Gaz and decided to head over to them. When he did, he smiled at them and said,
"Happy Halloween!" Gaz nodded in 'hello' while Dib just glared. Zim ignored Dib's glare and said to Gaz, "Nice costume. Better than most of the others here, really." Gaz nodded and actually started to smile a bit, which Dib didn't like at all. So, he decided to try to expose him.
"God, Zim, your costume is really realistic. But I have to ask, where are your ears?" Zim looked over at Dib, smirked, and answered casually, "My ears are underneath the bald cap I'm wearing. Duh." Frowning, Dib tried again. "Those antennas of yours sure do look real." As he said this, he looked around for support from his fellow students, but he obviously didn't really know better. The students around the three ignored him completely, and Zim only smirked and shook his head slowly, as if saying, You are such an idiot. Taking this as the perfect oppurtunity, a jock (dressed as a cheerleader) ran behind Dib and gave him one of the biggest wedgies in the whole day.
All of the other students laughed. Zim smirked, then turned to Gaz and gave her something. When he did, he whispered something into her ear and left. Dib was recovering from his wedgie, so Gaz quickly hid whatever-it-was that Zim gave her into her bag and pretended nothing had happened.
