-Me- Merry Christmas everybody I decided to update on Christmas just so I could give you all a present for being such great fans. Anyway I don't own Invader Zim or any of the songs in this chapter. Enjoy your present.
Setting 1 Back at the Cave
Everyone was still tied up and basically just waiting for their doom.
-Dib- I'm so sorry you guys. This is all my fault I should have listened to you.
-Paige- No Dib we should of listened to you.
-Will- Yeah Dib I mean even though the whole idea of aliens exciting sounds completely stupid we should have believed you anyway, because you're our friend. And hey, beside this is defiantly enough proof for anyone.
-Gretchen- Will's right Dib so if anyone around here deserves bragging right it should be you.
-Dib- Yeah well I really don't feel like bragging. I mean just look at me. I'm nothing, but a half alien FREAK NOW!
-Paige- Well if it makes you feel any better Dib. I don't exactly look like myself either and I have no one to blame but me. (She turned to Will.) Will I'm so sorry I should of listened to you, but instead all I did what just call you names, say you were stupid, insane and...
-Will- Alright sis I get the picture.
-Paige- Yah well I really am sorry Will.
-Dib- Me too Will
-Will- It's alright you guys, but you know Dib I'm really not the person you should be apologizing to.
-Dib- You're right Will. (He turned to Gretchen.)
-Random Music- I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
-Dib- Gretchen I'm so sorry.
-Gretchen- It's alright Dib. I mean you didn't know how evil she really was and...
-Dib- Yah, but that's no excuse for what I did to you. Gretchen I said I hated you and that's not true. Oh Gretchen I'm so sorry I should have believed you, but did I no. Instead I was stupid. And now look at me I've become the very thing I hate the most latterly.
-Gretchen- Its O.k. Dib at least we're back to being friends again.
-Random Music- I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
-Dib- No Gretchen don't you get it I've always thought of you as more than just a friend. In fact since the moment I met you I've always sort of kind of had a big crush on you.
-Gretchen- You have?
-Dib- Yah. (He said blushing.)
-Random Music- I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
-Dib- At first I didn't know what it was, but after you gave me all those meets at Valentine's Day last year my crush grew.
-Gretchen- Really, but I thought you found them annoying.
-Dib- No I was just pretending, because I didn't know how to express my feelings... and... Oh man this is hard I'm surprised that I'm not stumbling over my words like usual. But, Gretchen you really need to know that I think that you're the pretties nicest girl I have ever met inside and out and… I… I… love you Gretchen. (Gretchen and everybody in the room was really shock at what Dib just said and there was an awkward silence.)
-Random Music- Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon let's try
-Gretchen- Oh Dib you have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that, because I love you too.
-Dib- You do?
-Random Music- I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
-Gretchen- Yah I mean you're cute and you seem to always be able to do anything and now I see how much of a hero you truly are.
-Dib- Oh thanks Gretchen. (He said blushing a little.) If I wasn't tied up like this I would give you a big hug and a kiss.
-Gretchen- Me too Dib. (She said blushing too.)
-Random Music- Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
-Zim- Oh please make them stop before I barf.
-Dib- Hey you did the same thing with Crystal.
-Zim- That's was different.
-Will- Aww come on Zim I think it's kind of cute and I always knew you guys would end up together. Wait a go Dib and Gretchen.
-Zim- Yes yes that's all well and good, but need I remind you stupid humans that we are still about to be eaten ALIVE. HOW DO YOU PREPOSE WE GET OUT OF THIS!
-Julie- Like this. (She said as she came down from the same entrance that they came down from. Instantly the spiders started to attack her, but she took out two laser swords and started killing them all.)
-Zim- Julie what are you doing here?
-Julie- Saving you guys' butts dah.
-Zim- Julie look out. (He said as a tone of spider jumped on top of her, but she quickly dodge them.)
-Julie- Alright if that's the way you guys wanna play it then how about I even the odds a little. (She said as she used one of her powers to multiply herself into enough to take down all those spiders.)
-Will- Wow who's that.
-Julie- Sergeant Julie head of the Utopian army at your service. (She said as she just finished defeating the last spider without breaking that much of a sweet.)
-Will- Cool (Then Julie de-multiplied herself and cut everybody down, and they all feel on top of each other.) This not some much.
-Dib- (He was one of the first to get up and he ran over to Gretchen.) Here Gretchen let me help you up. (He did and then she gave him a big hug and a kiss on the lips.)
-Random Music- I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You beautiful soul, yeah.
-Julie- (She stared at the two of them.) O.k. I won't even ask. (She said as she turned to Zim.) Anyway Zim it's great to see you again and (At this point Gretchen was done kissing Dib and Julie finally got to see how much he had changed.) Ah Dib what happened to you? You look like a...
-Dib- Please Julie don't even remind me.
-Zim- Yes yes enough of this chit chat Dib stink we have to get out of here.
-Julie- You're right for once Zim to my ship.
Setting 2 Julie's ship.
Everybody was in Julie ship. Headed for Zim's new base.
-Julie- O.k. now that we've all been properly introduced. Zim I need you to tell me what's going on, because me and the Wisest only knew enough to know that you guys were in big trouble. That's why she sent me here and why she is off looking for the Tallest. So shoot.
-Zim- Well Silvia is back and she's joined forces with Doom, somehow, along with three arachnids, and they've all got Amethyst, and their gonna us her in a machine to turn all the humans on this disgusting dirt ball of a planet into spiders to destroy us all...
-Will- Which is about 3.9 billion….
-Zim- Thank you stupid human and...
-Will- Hey it was o.k. when I just thought that you were a kid with problems, but now it's just insulting.
-Dib- That make no since.
-Zim- Whatever.
-Julie- Alright you guys calm down. Thanks Zim for the info it seems that things are even worse than we thought, but that's not exactly what I meant. I need you to tell me exactly what you said to Amethyst before she ran away.
-Zim- Huh how did you know about that?
-Julie- Minimoose called me.
-Zim- What Mini moose why would you do that?
-Kierra- I told him to call her.
-Zim- Well I think she was lying, because I didn't say anything to Amethyst.
-Kierra- WHAT YES YOU DID... (Zim covered her mouth.)
-Zim- Kierra shh...
-Julie- Look Zim I know you don't wanna talk about it, but we have to know.
-Zim- Why?
-Julie- So we can know what stage Amethyst is in.
-Zim- What do you mean?
-Julie- Oh man (She said starting to get a little annoyed with having to explain this to Zim. I mean she was already in enough trouble with the Wisest, and now she had to deal with this. Poor Julie.) Look Zim we only know so much about what's going on with Amethyst, because our expert on the Matrixsys' history is still half way around the galaxy, but we're pretty sure that she might have the same virus as our prisoner on Vort.
-Zim- Huh, but he's been that was for years.
-Julie- Exactly now come on Zim tell us.
-Random Music- A strangled smile fell from your face
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn't even know
Now there's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay
-Zim- I can't she's just so sad and it's all my fault and the note and...
-Julie- Look please Zim for Amethyst's sake.
-Random Music- I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes
-Zim- Alright well I guess I told her that she was a mistake, that she couldn't possibly be my daughter, and that I sort of hated her.
-Everybody- What?
-Dib- Oh Zim how could you say that I mean how stupid are you?
-Zim- Hey I'm not the one who's half arachnid around here stupid human, and if you hadn't interfered with my plan...
-Dib- Hey don't go blaming me for this Zim. I may have been stupid, but what you did gives new meaning to the word. (Zim was about to say something else, but then he realized something.)
-Random Music-She said "If we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see"
She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"
-Zim- You're right Dib stink.
-Dib- What did you just say Zim?
-Zim- I SAID YOU'RE RIGHT STUPID HUMAN! (He signed a little hating the fact that he had just attempted that his worst enemy was right, but he was.)
-Random Music- I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I'll keep us together,
-Zim- I should of never said all those mean things to Amethyst. I was just so mad, but that's no excuse for what I did. I guess I was just never cut out for this whole father thing, but I'm not gonna just let her becomes Doom's puppet. I'd rather die than let that happen.
-Random Music- I know you deserve much better But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over
-Zim- She's my daughter and I'll do whatever it takes to save her.
-Random Music- I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes
-Julie- Good, but according to what you just told us Amethyst is probably already in stage three which leaves us with only two options. The first one is way too risky, so I guess we could try using the collar our scientist invented for our Vort prisoner, but it has not been working that well on him and…
-Zim- Hey at least it's worth a try.
-Julie- Right, and what great timing look Zim there's you're new base. (She was about to land the ship but then.)
-Gir- Yeah I like pie. (He said as he jumped on to the controls.)
-Zim- No Gir... (But it was too late Gir already made them crash.)
Setting 3 in the Elevator
They were all in the clear elevator headed for the main computer room.
-Will- Wow this is so cool who would of thought that there was a lab this big underneath your house. Oh man look all this technology. (He said as they ascended down.)
-Paige- Oh great my brother is acting like a little kid at a toy store.
-Will- Hey you would act the same way if we were at some kind of spider convention.
-Paige- Uw don't even talk to me about spiders any more Will. I don't wanna study those disgusting things not after what Jess did to me. In fact I hate my hair like this. (She said then she took out some hair ponytail things and put her hair back up again but she still put the flower amethyst gave her in her hair.) There now maybe stupid Jess won't have a crush on me while I'm kicking his butt and getting my revenge.
-Will- Now that's the sister I know and love. (He said as they all finally got to the right room.)
-Julie- (She and Zim were the first ones to enter the room.) Don't worry you all will have your chance for revenge, but first we need the right equipment that is why we have to call our leaders the Tallest and...
-Will- Wait a minute you're leaders are just taller than everybody else?
-Dib- I know it made me question their logic too.
-Zim- Silence stupid humans never ever question our leaders.
-Julie- Exactly now Zim tell me what password to type in. (She said now sitting at the controls.)
-Zim- Yeah about that I've been cut off from the Tallest since I'm on a Reconition Mission and...
-Julie- What of all the stupid Irkens why...
-Zim- Hey why don't you just contact the Wisest.
-Julie- Because she's with the Tallest and... wait a minute isn't Skoodge still at your house?
-Zim- Yah, but what does...
-Julie- He can transfer us to the Tallest dah.
-Zim- Oh right glad I thought of it.
-Julie- But I, oh whatever just contact him already. (Zim went to work on contacting Skoodge.)
Setting 4 Zim's Base.
Skoodge was still having a huge party at Zim's house. He was on the stage with a mike in his hands and a band behind him.
-Skoodge- SAY PARTY PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE SAY "YAH"!
-The People- YAH!
-Skoodge- DO THE MACARENA!
-The People- (Everybody did the Macarena.) HEY MACARENA!
-The Alert System- ATTENTION INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM ZIM! (The computer said and everybody just thought it was part of the fun so they said.)
-People- YAH!
-Skoodge- Oh shoot... (He said putting his hand over the microphone what was he going to do? Zim would kill him if he found out the truth. Skoodge was about to freak then he got an idea.) AH ATTENTION EVERYONE FIRE!
-The People- YEAH FIRE! (They said thinking he was joking, and then one of the band members pushed him into the crowd and they began to crowd surf him.)
-Skoodge- NO REALLY THERE'S A FIRE EVERYBODY OUT!
-The People- (They all realized that he was telling the truth so they dropped him and ran out the door.) AHH! (And of course poor Skoodge got trampled.)
-Skoodge- Thank you all for coming (He said as he got up as best he could and closed the door. Then he took off his disguise and pushed a button on the wall that made the TV behind the picture come up to reveal the gang.) Ah hey Zim what's up there was no party here.
-Zim- Ah I didn't say anything about a party.
-Skoodge- Oh right good, because there wasn't.
-Julie- Ah Invader Skoodge why do you look as if you have just been trampled over by nearly a hundred people?
-Skoodge- Ah no reason but ah...
-Random party guess- (Just then a random party guest just woke up and said.) Ah dude great costume and wonderful party…
-Skoodge- (He started trying to push the guy out the door.) Shh you have to leave... (He said as he pushed him out the door completely then ran back to Zim and the others.) Ahh I have no idea what that human was doing in the base Zim, but...AHH ZIM THERE ARE TWO ARACHINIDS BEHIND YOU AHH! (He stared running around in circles having just seen Dib and Paige.)
-Julie- No Skoodge it's alright... (She said trying to calm him down, but he would not listen)
-Paige- Do we really look that bad?
-Will- (He looked at his sister and Dib.) Oh man you guys may not wanna look in the mirror beside you.
-Dib and Paige- Why? (They said as they looked in the mirror and saw that they had six legs and now completely look like they did in my drawing.) Ahh!
-Will- I told you guys not to look.
-Paige- Oh man we have six legs and an abdomen Ahh!
-Dib- This is so wrong. Stupid Victoria this is like my worst nightmare come true.
-Skoodge- (He was still running around in circles.) AHH!
-Julie- (She could not take this anymore so she yelled as load as she could.) O.K. THAT'S ENOUGH INVADER SKOODGE TRANFER US TO THE TALLEST RIGHT NOW!
-Skoodge- Ah yes ma'am. (He said even more freaked out about Julie's voice then Dib and Paige. Then he began to transfer them to the Tallest.)
-Zim- Oh and Skoodge if I find out that your really did throw a party while I was gone you are so dead.
-Skoodge- O.k., but don't worry Zim I didn't and... Oh would you look at that you're connected enjoy talking to the Tallest, and I gotta go bye. (He said as he ran off to go clean. The screen transferred to the Tallest and the Wisest on the Massive.)
-Julie- (She and Zim saluted) My Tallest and my Wisest we have identified the Voltinia thief as Silvia she along with three arachnids plan to us Amethyst in a machine to destroy all of the Utopian and Irkens of the universe.
-Tallest Red- Oh great as if things weren't bad enough already. Zim how could you of possibly messed up this bad?
-Zim- Well my Tallest I…
-Tallest Purple- Why are you surprised I mean it is Zim after all and...
-The Wisest- Well if you ask me Purple I don't think it was all Zim's fault. I mean I told you guys not to send them on a stupid fake mission, but did you listen NO! And thanks to that I had to look all over Carnival just to find you two at the top of the fairs wheel eating cotton candy and...
-Tallest Purple- Hey it was cherry and I like cherry.
-Wisest- So ah sometime I feel like I'm surrounded by morons and...
-Julie- Ah my Wisest I don't mean to interrupt, but I think Amethyst may already be in stage three of the virus. So we really do need weapon D25 and about six copies of the weapons from the first Arachnid battle.
-Wisest- Huh do you really think it is that serious Julie?
-Julie- Yes my Wisest I'm afraid it is.
-Wisest- Fine then we'll send the weapons to your teleport machine. Now listen up Julie you are in charge of this mission failure is not an option. We will be there as soon as we can, but it may take a while, because we're stuck in a meteor shower of all things.
-Julie- Don't worry my Wisest I won't let you down. Well this is Sergeant Julie.
-Zim- And Invader Zim.
-Both- Signing off. (Julie pushed the button and then she went over to the teleported machine.)
-Julie- Alright humans you heard the Wisest failure is not an option here are your weapons. (She said as she passed everyone a gun.) If you shoot them at the spiders they will turn back into humans and...
-Dib- Ah excuse me Julie, but could these guns be used to turn me and Paige back to normal, because I really don't wanna be stuck like this forever.
-Julie- Ah no sorry Dib, but unfortunately they aren't powerful enough for that and here humans you guys will need these. (She said passing Will, Gaz, and Gretchen some weird alien bracelets.)
-Will- Ah why?
-Julie- Well do you wanna turn into a giant spider?
-Will- Ah no thank you.
-Julie- Right then quit asking stupid question and DO AS I TELL YOU! (She said, getting very annoyed with all she had to deal with today, as Will, Gretchen, and Gaz quickly put on their bracelets.) O.k. you can use these guns against the arachnids and Silvia if you come into contact with them. (She said as she passed them some more guns.) Now I'm not going to sugar code this you guys the fate of your planet and the entire universe rest with us.
-Will- But, no pressure right. Oh man who am I kidding of course there's pressure. (He said as he began to us his inhaler man was he freaked.) You guys I don't think I can do this. I mean I'm not used to fighting real live aliens like you Dib and...
-Paige- Don't worry Will you're gonna be fine and just think you'll get the chance to kick Zack's butt.
-Will- Oh yeah I forgot about that. Cool let's go kick some alien butt.
-Dib- Now there's something I never thought I'd hear him say. (He turned to Gretchen.) Gretchen are you sure you wanna do this?
-Gretchen- Oh Dib it's like I told you before you're not getting rid of me that easily. I'm in this with you for good.
-Dib- Yah, but I... (Gretchen wanted Dib to stop worrying about her so she gave him a big kiss on the chick and he went all goo goo eyed.) O.k. let's go.
-Julie- Right here we go on foot, because somebody's stupid robot...
-Zim- Hey we don't have time to start pointing figures. Amethyst needs or help.
-Paige- Exactly now let's go. (They all headed for the elevator and probably the biggest battle of their lives. Will they succeed find out in the next chapter. Mahaha!)
-Me- Hey guys I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I for one really liked it, because Dib and Gretchen are together now and there was a lot of great humor. At first this chapter was going to be a lot longer, but I shortened it because it's Christmas and I did not want you guys to have to read the sad part that was going to be at the end. No you'll just have to wait till the next chapter to read that part. Anyway send me plenty of reviews, the four people I sent messages to your Christmas present are up on my deviantart page, and until next time I leave you all with these very true words ZIM WILL LIVE FOREVER!
