Final chapter. Read it. Now.


"Zim has arrived!" Zim yelled bursting through the door of Dib's house. Everyone in the room gasped and went silent. Nobody noticed as GIR came out from behind Zim and left to find food.

Zim started to wonder if this was a bad idea after all, but then someone started clapping. Soon, the whole crowd joined in. Even Dib was a little surprised.

"That's a cool costume!" someone yelled.

Dib turned to the direction the voice came from.

"But that's not a costume! He really is an alien!" Dib yelled. He pointed at Zim. "He is an alien!"

Zim smiled innocently.

"You're crazy," someone said to Dib.

Everyone started talking again, and Zim disappeared into the crowd. Dib noticed this and stopped sulking for a few seconds to look around.

He saw a pair of antennae in the crowd and started to follow it.

Meanwhile, GIR was making his way through the crowd in search of the snack table.

"Excuse me, where are the tacos?" GIR asked someone dressed as a purple cat.

"I didn't even know they were serving tacos," the cat answered.

"Okay then. Bye purple cat person." GIR waved, then left.

"Okay... Bye... green... dog thing," the purple cat answered.

While GIR was in search of food, Dib was in search of Zim. He was gaining on a dark, shady figure, which was the owner of the antennae, when the person turned around suddenly.

"Dude, what's wrong with you? Quit following me! Creep," someone dressed as a bumblebee yelled.

"Oh, I thought you were Zim," Dib tried to explain.

"You're crazy," the bumblebee said.

Dib frowned, then left to search for Zim.

Meanwhile, Zim was trying to stay away from Dib. He wouldn't see a black trench coat that often, but when he did, he would blend in with the human worm babies as best he could.

But Dib wasn't Zim's only problem. He couldn't find GIR. He started asking people if they had seen a short green dog. Nobody seemed to know where he was.

Zim was searching for GIR, while GIR was searching for the snack table. He had been repeatedly walking in circles, though he didn't know it. He was near a group of people who were eating burritos. GIR approached them.

"BURRITOS!" GIR yelled.

The group of people just stared. Then slowly, one by one, they walked away, never taking their eyes off the hyper little robot in disguise.

A few feet from where they had been standing was a door. GIR opened it and went inside.

While GIR was getting hungry, Dib was getting frustrated.

"Have you seen Zim?" he asked someone dressed as a cowboy.

"No," he answered.

Dib walked away disappointed.

"Where could Zim be?" Dib wondered aloud. "I need to find Zim and I am going to prove that he is an alien and that I am not crazy!" he yelled aloud. Everyone around him looked at him strangely.

"I just wish I could find him," Dib said quietly to himself.

He turned around and ran into-

"Zim!"

"Dib!" Zim's eyes widened in surprise and fear, though he tried to hide it.

Dib acted fast and grabbed Zim by his antennae. He climbed on top of the snack table.

"Everyone! Listen!" Dib yelled. "I am going to prove once and for all that this 'child' is NOT human!" He shook Zim, who was struggling to escape.

As for GIR, he couldn't see anything, and the door had closed on him. He felt around for a light switch.

GIR felt a bunch of wires and started to tug on it. He was curious and it wouldn't budge, so he started to pull harder. Nothing happened, so he took all the strength he had in his little robot body and pulled as hard as he could.

Zim was still struggling to escape Dib's grasp, but nothing was working.

"So, Zim, if you're not an alien, why does your costume look so real?" Dib asked.

"I had it specially made," Zim growled through his teeth.

"What about the antennae?" He shook him to prove his point. "How do you explain that?"

"Let go of me, you Dib stink!" Zim tried to kick Dib, but he just hopped out of the way while still keeping a tight grip on Zim.

"Well? Are you going to admit it, Zim?" Dib asked.

"Never! You're insane and so is every other filthy human on this planet!" Zim yelled. "And one more thing, Dib! I-"

Zim was suddenly interrupted by the screams of the kids around him. The lights had went out and nobody could see anything. Zim finally managed to kick Dib, who groaned and fell to the floor. (A/N: He was standing on the snack table! XD)

Zim pushed his way through the crowd to the large red "EXIT" sign.

GIR's curiosity had actually saved Zim, because when GIR finally pulled the wires loose from the wall, he had caused a blackout. He heard screaming and left through a door at the back of the closet. He sat down on the sidewalk and started poking an ant that was climbing on an empty potato chips wrapper.

A few seconds later, Zim rushed outside a few yards away from where GIR was sitting.

"GIR! Activate your jet packs and get us out of here!" Zim yelled.

"Yes sir!"

By the time the lights came back on, they were already halfway home.

As for Dib, everyone was glaring at him.

"I wasted my whole Friday night for this?" someone complained.

"But Zim is an alien," Dib said weakly.

Everyone left complaining and mumbling about how horrible Dib's party was.

The last person to leave turned back to glare at Dib, said, "you're crazy", threw an empty can of Poop Cola at Dib's head, then left.

Gaz passed Dib on the way to the kitchen.

"You're cleaning all this up," she said.

"B-but, I'm not crazy! How could this happen? I am NOT crazy!" Dib yelled.

"Yes you are." Gaz kicked him in his soft spot, then went upstairs without another word.


So, how'd you like it? Please tell me!
