Next chapter, I don't own Invader Zim, blah-dee-blah-dee-blah. Just read.

Bobby cowered behind the cockpit of the cruiser, his arms covering his head, screaming as everything around him was all rushing noise and light. And just when he thought he could bear it no longer, it stopped. He froze. All was silent.

He slowly peered from behind the back of the seat of the cockpit at the windshield. He could see nothing through the window but green and purple lights flashing in a thick curtain of smoke. He bit his lip, waiting for something to happen.

"Foreign Space Craft Operator. Come out of your ship with your appendages up. You are being detained for questioning, " a booming voice came from outside.

Bobby paused for a minute, wondering if maybe coming here was a bad idea. He couldn't stop trembling as he climbed over the back of his seat and turned the Open Windshield Key on the dashboard. The windshield rose, letting all the thick smoke into the cruiser. He coughed, fanning the vapors as they cleared away. He took in his surroundings, hesitating to stand up and climb out.

He was in an enormous open chamber. All along the walls of this great chamber, about five stories up from where the cruiser sat were long, rectangular glass windows. Bobby could sort of make out vague images of people, rather little people, with large heads and green skin, all looking down at him in the big empty chamber. He raised his hands in a show of surrender.

"So, you really are an Irken…Step out of the ship and proceed to the reception area behind you, " came the voice again.

Keeping his hands raised, he stood and stepped down from the ship into the open. Suddenly he could hear gasps and little cries of the people behind the windows above him. He froze, looking up. Did he do something wrong? Was he under arrest? He suddenly wished he were back home in his nice, quiet little farmhouse. He slowly walked around the cruiser and saw a great electronic doorway open before him.

A crowd of the green people, all in red and purple uniforms, stood before him. His heart beat wildly as he stood before them. Despite his fears, he was thrilled. He'd never seen so many green faces before, and all just like his very own! He smiled his sheepish, zipper-like grin and waved feebly.
