Chapter 5: Who needs comfort?

10 years had passed on earth. Zim stayed with Dib, as he tried to get better. He also started going to collage with Dib-stink. Zim had kept his pathetic disguise, with those blue contacts and black wig over all these years. Dib-worm, had beg Zim to get new clothes for him. So he doesn't be consciously being reminded of him being a defect. He was happy, with his new life. He kind of missed having his minions around through. Dib-stink was kind and sweet to him after he found out about his mission. It was pathetic at first but he got use to it. Of course, he was paranoid at any time Dib-worm will call the FBI or his Swollen Eyeball Network.

"Dib-worm, I don't understand this earthling's history. And why it is only like a century ago?" Zim asked, from his temporary room. Dib walked in and gave Zim a look like are you kidding me.

"Well Zim, Humans have shorter life spans than Irken's. And we can grow unlike Irken's." He replied, smiling as he sat on Zim's bed.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry my bad," Zim mumbled, and went back on the computer again. It was quiet for several minutes until Dib got fed up.

"Hey Zim, do you remember that day we got detention by Mrs. Bitters and we didn't even do anything?" he asked Zim, who was working on his history protect.

"Oh yeah, I remember that. it was pretty funny." Zim whispered… ugh he will never get this project done, and it due at three tomorrow.

*rumble, rumble*

Zim's computer was shaking. Scratch that the whole city was rumbling. Zim and Dib hit the floor and covered their backs of their necks. After a while, Zim's room was horrible. His computer screen fell over on the floor along with the fragile stuff. His window was cracked and Zim knew it wasn't an earthquake but so did Dib. In was going on for ten minutes.

"Zim...was that what I think it was?" Dib asked, he had freshly open cuts from the glass around the room. His eyes were big and wide.

"Yes, Dib I think it maybe also what you think another Invader has come to earth." Zim whispered, as he started to cry onto the floor. Dib had only seen him cry twice, once was the accident and the other was shrinking his home and ship. "Why everybody must hurt Zim?" he screamed. Dib, believe it or not felt really sorry for Zim.

"Zim," Dib had reach and grabbing the Irken and pulling him in to his body. "Nobody is going to hurt you, well not me or Gaz," he whispered.

"Dib, *Sigh* I will help you defeat this Irken and protect the earth." He whispered and he looked up at Dib's shocked face.

*Ding, Dong*

"I got it, DIB it's for you." Gaz yelled up to the room.

"I will be right back Zim, unless you want to come with me." Dib started to get up and Zim followed, as they proceeded down the hallway and down the stairs.

"No, it can't be; it's impossible…" Zim gasped, and his eyes widened. The standing in the living room was a navy blue and had purple eyes.

"… Tak" Dib whispered.
