Okay, just a little thing here before I go to the anonymous reviews. I was thinking, y'know, maybe... er...
Alright, I'll just get out with it. I'm weird (I know, "No duh," but I'm not finished yet) and I like to plan out some of the events of my stories by listening to songs on the radio and on my MP3 and imagining the characters singing them. Soo, I came up with the idea of Zim and Gaz singing a duet for the ritual the villagers have planned.
So, how about this: You vote. Just say yes or no, you know I wouldn't care if it was anonymous or not. If you say yes, tell me an idea for the song. I already know what I want to do, but if someone were to come up with a better idea, then there we go! I'll wait until I have at least 5 votes to write the next chapter.
Until then, let's enjoy some review replies and a nice flashback!

On the first day of Christmas,
I said to a reviewer:

Best. Song. Ever.
YouShouldProbablyKnowAlready: Omg. I didn't realize that. People reading this. This awesome and insane person and his/her friend realized that both Gaz AND Dib are now both TOTALLY INSANE. You know what, you get ten cookies and a waffle for your awesomeness! You ALSO get a hug from your favorite character 'cause they have to do anything I tell them to! Mwuahahahahaaaa!
A lot can happen in a thousand years, and sometimes a flashback is a good way to go. This is one of those times.
Zim followed Dib into the forest, wondering why they were there.
"Hey!" he said loudly.
"What?" The paranormal investigator, if you could call him that, replied.
"Why are we here?"
"Just gonna try something!"
"What?"
"You'll see!"
They came to a very small clearing and Dib stopepd and turned around. Suddenly, he found a rock and threw it at Zim's head. It hit him, and although it didn't hurt, he growled.
"WHAT THE-"
"You freaking SUCK, Zim! Ha! You could never take over the Earth!" Zim felt himself start to glow, as he did when he got mad.
"What the HELL is WRONG WITH YOU? OTHER THAN BEING HUMAN, OF COURSE!"
"Well it's WAAY better than being... whatever the heck YOU'RE supposed to be!"
Zim began to glow brighter. They continued this back-and-forth argument for a while, and Zim's glow grew brighter with every insult, until his skin was almost blinding. Dib's eyes hurt, but he kept on. Soon, he went too far.
"You're weak, Zim! Always have been. Always will be." DIb's words echoed in Zim's head, along with all of the rest of his insults. The loudest of them, was the word weak.
Suddenly, something inside him took over. He clutched his head and crouched on the ground. He gave an involuntary and ferocious roar, like a lion.
Everything blurred. First his vision, then his thoughts, until he might as well have been unconscious. When he came to, his clothes were ripped, and his gloves, which were prototypes for an invention of Dib's, were almost burnt to a crisp, partially revealing his alien-like claws. He looked around, not noticing that his invader's uniform was fixing itself, and realized that all the trees within his sight had no more leaves, the nearest ones barely had trunks.
He looked in front of him and saw that Dib had some sort of bubble around him, protecting him from the blast, though he still got dragged back a few yards.
"Whoa," he said, standing up and retracting the shield. He took out a notebook and a pen and wrote a few things down.
"What was all that crap?" Zim said angrily.
"Nothing, really. Just testing to see how powerful your anger can REALLY make you. Wow, you should have seen the explosion! And that crazy look in your eyes! I'm probably gonna have nightmares!" he said joyfully.
Zim was about to yell at him for using him like that, when he heard something that made his antennae prick up under his hair.
Without waiting for Dib, he sped off in the direction of what he heard. It was a familiar voice. He looked above the trees and saw smoke rising in the distance.
He skidded to a stop and stared, wide-eyed, at a sight he thought he would never see, in all his days.
Not even since he was now immortal.
