Fun fact: I got this idea from listening to a Song called My Evil plan to save the world. It's prophetic no it's not pathetic! I can't believe I made it up myself! Also the last two felt kind Fillery especially the last one. This is me getting back on track

The exciting morning portion of their day was over and things were actually calming down. Tak had an unofficial human friend in her psychology class. Tenn got to get those robots under control or at least Mimi. Honestly if Mimi could get Gir to stay with her all the time, like she seemed to be able to do, then the school was in relatively safe hands from Gir. She contemplated talking to Tak about leaving him at home but she had a thought about the kind of damage he could cause there. It was better to have him where they could see him.

Skoodge had discovered that humans like picking on chubby small people. But they all had one class together and it was with the most horrible teacher in the school… Ms. Bitters class. Needless to say Tak wasn't pleased to see Zim in the same class as her. Tenn and Skoodge could keep them in relative peace Mimi was fairly behaved though not exactly the best considering she was found in a junk pile but Gir was a lost cause they could only hope to distract him from an insane rampage.

Zim and Tak silently hated each other emphasized by the fact they sat on opposite sides of the room. Tak by pure coincidence sat behind Dib, she didn't mind sitting near an actually smart human but it would be a problem if he realized that her entire fake family were aliens.

The old evil crone manifested behind her desk and a feel of dread filled the air "Silence!" she demanded getting even Gir's attention "I will speak and you will be quiet and then I go away from you all." Tak nodded to herself solemnly 'Good for you. Good for you.'

Skoodge, who was in the back middle seat, was doing the same motion 'sounds reasonable.' Ms. Bitters sat down in her throne like chair. "Now class the universe is just doom, doom, doom, doom," she just started repeating the word doom and Zim was think hard about what the teacher was saying and was quietly inspired by her words 'She's saying what we all are thinking. She is a truly wise human.' Zim thought. Gir, amazingly, was also having thoughts 'Hello? Echo! My name is Gir take me to your tacos!'

Dib had his eyes set on the green boy and wondered why no one was saying anything about it "Am I the only one that see's the alien sitting in class?" Skoodge and Tenn and Mimi tensed up while Tak simply let out a low irritated groan. The other class mates all started looking around the room trying to find what he was looking for. "There!" He pointed to Zim "Right there! That's no kid that's an alien! An Alien! One of the monsters I've been talking about. He's here to conquer earth." Tak thought that was Tenn thought that was quite the accusation. They were there to conquer something but it wasn't this world. They had bigger fish to fry.

"Not this again." One kid moaned

"You're crazy." Another accused.

Skoodge spoke up in defense for his friend "Yeah he crazy all right."

Zim took this chance as well "He's always saying stuff, I remember this one time-"

"Hey you two just got here!" Dib interrupted angrily "Listen, I know what I'm talking about and there it is sitting right there." The other students, despite how dense they were, were actually starting to be swayed by Dib. "Yes finally actual proof that everything I've been saying is actually right!" He spoke hopefully and started to choke up "Proof that I'm- that I'm-"

"Crazy!" Tak quickly said.

"Now that makes sense." A girl behind her agreed.

"Man, we almost believed him." The aliens and Dib all began to stare each other down (except for Gir that was seeing dancing weenies in the room)

"Weenies! Weenies!" he screamed spastically then began humming to himself. Mimi looked at the crazy robot next to her with worry and concern.

"I'm a little scared to know what goes on in that mind of yours."

Tak roamed the halls grumbling something under her breath. That Dib may be more of a nuisance than she first anticipated and she had another class with him and Zim. Lots of students were heading to the cafeteria and that's where she was heading as well. She did have growling Squeedily spooch for a while and was pleased to finally get to eat. It was also a time to discuss the day with the rest of them and come up with a game plan. They weren't going to just simply live on earth peacefully they had plans, or at least a goal, to destroy the Tallest. This planet was the best base of operations for fugitives considering the empire doesn't know of its existence.

Elsewhere Dib was trying to come up with a plan but was stuck on why the people that claimed to be the alien's family would defend a creature that was clearly not human like them. He could guess that he brain-washed them but even brain washing wouldn't erase the fact he didn't look human. "Maybe because the rest of them are aliens too." Gaz's voice spoke up from behind him. She effectively scared him but she was always scary… and how did she know what he was thinking?

Dib pushed the suggestion away quickly "No way, they seem completely normal Gaz."

"Not everyone could be as dumb as Zim, Dib." She pointed out calmly playing her game "I had a class with three of them earlier and two of them were magnetic. I think you could throw some robots into the mix. I don't really care but I should point out that even you aren't dumb enough to truly believe they're human." She said taking one eye off her game "There is more than one alien here, you said so yourself, use your brain." Then she walked off before he had a chance to argue. They were all weird but he pushed those thoughts aside for some reason. They seemed to put an imaginary wall between themselves and everyone else. Was there a reason for it? It didn't seem like the ordinary new kid shyness thing it just seemed like they were detached. Zim declared out right to not liking people. If they really were like Zim he would have to make sure.

The four Irkens and two SIR's stood in a group almost looking lost while holding their trays with questionable food. There were tons of tables but they seemed to all be taken "What bout that one?" Gir suggested quickly pointing at the table with only Gaz and Dib at the far end of the cafeteria.

Zim grimaced "No! You speak nonsense Gir! The Dib been labeled the enemy, we do not associate with vermin like him." They spied an empty table only two tables away from the Membranes but it was far enough. With the noise level here he would have to be at least one table closer to eavesdrop. They weaved through the humans with barely enough room to even make it. 'There are seats! Why don't they use them?' Skoodge thought irritatingly. Dib's eyes caught the Kri's moving to the empty seat and his curiosity peaked.

As they sat The Irkens looked down at the food in question. It smelled horrible to them no sign of sugar or salt or even good grease. This food seemed too sterile for them they all silently wondered the same thing: couldn't they add at least enough grease? An Irkens idea of a healthy meal would be anything less than that for others. The healthy Irken diet consisted of mostly high levels of grease, salt and sugar. Not just human levels of it either the level of unhealthy on the human level would be this from weakest to "healthiest": Snack, unhealthy, really unhealthy, this will need a fortune of dentist visits, this will shorten your life and DAMN!

Tak, Tenn and the others picked the greasiest thing they could find: A school peperoni pizza. You think a pizza from anywhere is bad a school pizza the moment you pick it up you just see a fountain of grease falling off (AN: this is true at my school at least.) Skoodge took a slow uneasy bite as the others watched. He shrugged simply "It isn't the best thing I've tasted but it edible." The rest of them took bites Zim was the only one that showed displeasure. In fact he screamed and with him flailing everywhere it was hard to tell but it looked like smoke was coming from his mouth.

Tenn looked down at the pizza in wonder of what could have caused it. It was fine for them. Zim uneasily pulled himself up and many other people were staring at them due to Zim's strange burning mouth. Zim cleared his throat and yelled out loudly and clearly "I'm normal!" it was good enough for them because they all went back to whatever it was everyone was doing.

Dib glared at him "How am I the only one that realizes he's an alien?"

"I notice, I just don't care." Gaz commented while she played her game

Dib went on his rant as if he didn't hear her "I'm mean come on! Come on!" he turned to a kid that was walking by him "Come on!" The kid speed walked far away from him. He saw them talking but couldn't quite make it out. He had to get closer somehow. He sunk under the table and moved closer pushing past people's legs as he crawled under their seats.

"Hey watch it freak!" one kid yelled at him he crawled and hid under the table of the aliens and listened closely.

"Do you have a protein allergy Zim?" he heard Tenn ask from above. Irkens like humans have allergies but not exactly the same kinds.

"Really?" Tak wondered out loud and grabbed a pepperoni off the pizza and casually tossed it at his head. Zim screamed bloody murder as it began to smoke on his head. He quickly grabbed the meat and threw it off. Dib heard Tak let out an amused laugh "I guess he does… sucks for him." Dib took out a small notepad out of his pocket and wrote it down. "Anyways back to business." Tak continued. "We have come to Earth and barely blended in with the humans at the school. Now is on to the next stage of planning." Dib was surprised that they all really were aliens but listened even closer.

"Yes," Mimi spoke up robotically "Phase three, Search the planet for any and all possible uses and be prepared for the coming madness."

"Yay!" Gir cheered

"It's gonna be freakin' awesome! It's like being in a war movie!" Mimi squealed with excitement, her voice normal again. They really are out to destroy the world. 'I have to stop them!' Dib thought as he jumped up- or at least tried because his head smacked the bottom of the table hard. All of the aliens looked under the table to see what happened.

"Dib!" Zim cried out with his words laced with venom. Tak grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him out.

She brought his face to eye level "How much did you hear?" She demanded angrily shaking him.

"I heard enough." Dib answered simply "I know your aliens and I'll get everyone to see the truth. Soon the world will know."

Tak's expression softened at his comment, which was the opposite of what he was expecting, the others did as well. Tak simply let go of him and sat back down. "Well good luck with that." Skoodge said simply as he sat back down with everyone else.

"Just don't get in our way Dib-filth!" Zim spat. They finished off everything they could possibly eat so they all gave the rest of the food to Mimi and Gir. Mimi ate normally while Gir just smashed his head into the food and eat that way.

Tak rested her arms on the table folding them on top of each other with a look of thought "Get lost, Dib." Tak growled "You're in my thinking space." Dib gave up for now but he did have a plan to stop them. He's been preparing for this day all his life… Yeah he's really obsessed with the paranormal and he has no life.

The day was uneventful for the rest of the time at school. Tak had met up with Gaz and got along surprisingly well although Tak preferred reading over gaming. Zim and Dib gave constant looks at each other all day as if trying to burn a hole into each other's head. Tenn and Skoodge, being the two most reasonable people in their so called family, got along with each other humanly fast. Gir and Mimi naturally had fun messing with people, or in Mimi's case just sat back and watched the show. She helped keep Gir under control as much as possible and that wasn't much to tell the truth. Mimi, despite others opinions, thinks Gir is the funniest thing in the universe. Admittedly he's insanely stupid but he's funny. Mimi had an interesting conversation with the insane bot at one point "Why do people shut their eyes when they sneeze? Do their eyes fall out?" he asked

Mimi simply shrugged "That would defiantly be one theory or it could just be an involuntary muscle reaction that happens when they sneeze."

"I's gonna tape my eyes open when I sneeze and find out." Mimi didn't have the heart to tell him he was a robot and therefore not be able to sneeze so she humored him.

"Okay, say you do and your eye do fall out would you still want to do it?" Gir didn't have an answer for that. Things were fairly normal but with Gir, not completely normal.

Then finally came the moment when School let out. They only made it to the school steps outside when they heard the voice of one persistent big headed human "Maybe your disguises have fooled everybody else but I'll get them to see the truth."

"No one will believe you." Zim glared and then turned back around to leave

"The great thing about humans Dib is: most of them don't notice much. You may see us as some unstoppable alien threat and, frankly, you might be right. Though all they see is a bunch of colorful strange new kids and nothing more. You're just wasting both our and your time with this." Tak explained with no note of hostility just simply pointing out harsh facts. They all started to leave when Dib slid down the railing to get in front of them. Dib was wearing out even Tenn and Skoodges patience with this.

"They'll believe if I show one of you to them without your disguise." Dib countered

"How do you expect to do that?" Mimi asked daringly. Dib simply pulled out kinda pretty looking black handcuff looking thing.

Cautiously they all took a half step back looking at it with a combination of fascination and curiosity "Ooh, it's pretty, what is it?" Zim asked.

"Alien specter cuffs, guaranteed to render any alien unconscious." He explained with a proud grin on his face. Zim asked another really good question.

"How do you know if it works if you've never even seen a really alien before?" The question that came next nobody liked.

"I'm gonna find out right now!" Then he lunged at them. Tak instinctively slugged him in the face while still in midair.

"Sorry don't feel like testing it out!" She yelled quickly running over his form pushing Zim to the ground in the process. They all ran as fast as they could with Dib tailing them. They didn't even know if it worked but you wouldn't want to find out if you were them either. They pushed other people down as they ran to get out of the school yard. Needless to say not many were pleased with being a victim of hit and run.

"Split up!" Skoodge told them. Dib could only catch one of them and it would be harder if they weren't grouped up. Tenn and Skoodge split left, Mimi (half dragging Gir) went straight and Zim and Tak went right. Dib only stopped for a moment then went after Tak and Zim. They were heading to a stone wall that marked the school grounds. It was just low enough to get over They picked up the speed. Tak pushed someone over and used them like a spring board to jump over the wall. Zim just flat out hurtled over it. Getting over slowed him down a little. Zim looked over his shoulder as he ran to see Dib climbing over. He was farther behind by the time he got over too but not enough.

"Leave me alone! I just want to go home and be all normal!" Zim screamed. Tak and Zim half weaved and pushed people out of their way. Tak was running beside the sidewalk and almost got hit by a car. She jumped just before it hit her and ran on top of the car and started to jump from car to car. Zim jumped through the open window of an opened car door. Tak would have time later to admire the idiots questionable acrobatic skills. Tak noticed a guy with a bunch of stuff in his hands and jumped off a car and made a flying kick to his back. He doubled over in pain his stuff lying everywhere. And just like expected gave them even more distance from Dib.

They ran across the road into an alley. It had tons of junk in it Zim did a running jump to a clothes line that went the length of alley and zip lined across leaving Tak in the dust 'Show off.' Tak grumbled to herself as she copied the movement

Mimi and Gir were looking around an electronics store "Gir, come on were supposed to be running for our lives remember!" Mimi whined urgently while Gir was watching a show on the wall of TV's.

"Do we have to go now? I wanted to watch the Scary Monkey show." Gir whined sadly.

Mimi shook her head dis approvingly "Gir we can wa- huh?" Mimi started as something caught her eye on one of the TV's. They were showing some sort of nature documentary on one of the TV's. They were showing a panther fighting an alligator. "Coool." She sat on the floor next to Gir and watched the other TV.

"I love this show." Gir said happily

"I love nature." Mimi said in the same tone as Gir.

(-)

Skoodge and Tenn were in town now and thought they actually lost Dib. "Move it! Get lost! Out of my way!" a familiar British voice screamed from the other side of the street. They Saw Tak and Zim forcing through all the people in their way heading in the same direction Tenn and Skoodge were going, to their base. Tak and Zim split up with Zim turning the corner and Tak crossing over on to the next street. Again Dib stopped trying to figure out which to go after when he spotted the two alien spectators. They both had the sneaking suspicion they should run. And it was confirmed the moment he ran after them.

They let out a surprised scream and went off to running again. Let me tell you, for a fat guy Skoodge can run fast. "How obsessed is he?" Skoodge asked out loud.

"I wouldn't say 'obsessed'… more like determined!" Tenn answered as they both ran

"Well it's annoying!"

"Agreed!"

Mimi pointed at the TV screen laughing out loud "Take that, Moose! That'll teach ya not to mess with wolves!"

Dib lost the other two but found Zim again. Zim ran out into a busy street with Dib in hot pursuit. Zim climbed on the top of a car that almost hit him just like Tak. He jumped from it to an ice cream truck but barely made it. He hung on the roof of the truck his legs kicking wildly at the air as he tried to pull himself up. He could hear Dib's eager laughter and quickly pulled himself on. He noticed Dib climbing up as well and jumped on to a moving school bus. Just then Tak came around the corner and saw what was happening. She carefully blended into the crowd of spectators watching with awe. Dib jumped on the moving bus Zim was on.

Dib successfully trapped Zim. Zim backed up slowly and almost slipped off the bus. 'Dib is smart, relentless, and ruthless… he's the most respectable human yet.' Tak thought to herself. As the bus turned a corner they couldn't hold on and got flung off. Zim fell over the high metal fence and Tak and Dib immediately heard barking and Zim's screaming. 'Yeesh… that doesn't sound good.' Tak grimaced. Dib climbed up and balanced on the fence waiting to see Zim come out… if he came out. Zim crawled out of a hole in the gate looking like he survived a fight with a dog (and he did) and he quickly pushed Dib over the gate and then the screaming came again.

A communicator arm reached over Zim's shoulder from his PAK "Gir! Come in Gir!" Tak couldn't believe she didn't think of that sooner and did the same only calling for Mimi. A holographic view of Mimi came up and for some reason she was wearing a sombrero and Mexican music could be heard in the background. "Mimi?" Tak asked dumbfounded "N-never mind, Mimi come quickly I'm in trouble!" She quickly changed the subject.

"Roger!" Mimi answered robotically. Almost instantly a cloud of dust came rising up and traveling toward them at an amazing speed. Gir Hovered in front of his master "Get me out of here! Now Gir! Now!"

"Okie- dokie!" and quickly forced a confused Zim onto his back and flew off with Zim screaming. Mimi ran in a black streak up to her master dutifully saluting.

"Get me out of here but don't fly!" She thought it looked to unpleasant like that.

Mimi shrugged "Works for me, I can't fly. Hold on!" She smiled as Tak grabbed tightly on her shoulders and in the split of a second went speeding off. To Tak it was a little less than holding onto the wings of a flying plane. Tak struggled to bring her legs in to wrap the around Mimi so she wouldn't go flying off easily. The world around was a complete and total blur then as quickly as it started, it stopped. Mimi stopped on a dime in front of the house and Tak face planted to the ground and slid to the front door where Skoodge and Tenn were waiting. Tak groaned in pain as she picked herself up. Irkens are hardy little things aren't they? Her back made cracking sounds as she stood up straight. "Good work Mimi… I guess…" she moaned as she held her aching head.

They heard some screaming from the distance and quickly getting louder "Duck and cover!" Tenn screamed as they all barely dodged the Gir and Zim rocket. The two smacked straight into the door and landed painfully on the porch step. At least Mimi could stop that's more than what could be said for Gir. Mimi ran over to him "Dear Tallest are you okay!"

"Do not worry Zim is-" Zim started to say before Mimi ran right past him and helped Gir up.

"You need to be more careful Gir."

"You!" a voice called out from the smoke of Zim's jets as it cleared it revealed the human bobble head Dib! He must have followed the smoke trail.

"Quickly! Get inside." Tenn said and the rushed into the house and slammed the door behind them. They turned off their disguises. Mimi and Gir's clothing vanished with their disguises. Tak was very smart with the clothing and designed it to appear and disappear with their disguises. With a heavy sigh Tak collapsed on the couch and could clearly hear Dib pounding on the door ranting about something.

"You can't hide any longer! I know where you live now. You can't hide forever and if you can then I'll wait forever!"

'Dear lord that means he'll never leave!' Mimi cried silently in her mind.

"Your friend's at the window!" Gir said looking at Dib looking in still talking.

"I've been preparing for this all my life!" Skoodge simply pushed a button on the wall and a guard Gnome fired a laser from its eyes and vaporized the cuffs. "…Okay… I'm gonna go home and… prepare some more!" There were so many ways the day could have been worse so it was sort of a good day. Still Tak had a massive headache part from the stress and part because of the cable. Damn older model!

Zim ordered the computer to take him down to the labs to the Making-stuff-room. Tak lay down on the couch thinking about taking a nap. Mimi and Gir went to watching TV. According to Mimi there was a movie called "March of the exploding men" Every time a human exploded the two could be heard laughing.

Skoodge went down as well said something about putting in all the information obtained today. "I'm going to get something to eat." Tenn called "Want anything? The food at school was awful and hardly any of it was edible."

"Ugh… No Tenn." Tak answered "… maybe some Plooka!"

Zim down below was working on no doubt something of questionable stability. Zim hummed to himself in thought as he looked at a screen of Earths solar system. His eyes focused on mars "Maybe…"
