Hello again!

I am sorry if I kept you all waiting! Been busy again with more college paperwork and funding issues. Plus, I've been thinking on what to put for this upcoming chapter.

Well, I hope you all will enjoy this trivial chapter, for I shall be doing my best for your entertainment. I do not make money off of this, and that is a very good thing my dear children, for then I would have bought 'Invader Zim' for myself, but alas, I can't. I do not own anyone in 'IZ' but Zora Ozbourne is all mine!

Zim was becoming extremely anxious now. 'Doesn't Dib-stink know that is sister will discover us eventually? Even HE underestimates Gaz-human's powers...'

Dib was all done piecing his special binoculars together (which looked more like two telescopes glued together), beaming with pride at his accomplishment.

"There. It's finished, Zim. Now all that's left is to set the tripod up." Before Zim could muster even a word, he heard a loud clicking sound, like the sound of a cocking gun. He looked slowly at Dib, and Dib slowly gazed at him. Then both boys slowly began to turn around, only to end up staring spot on at Gaz holding her brother's bazooka.

"Zim."

"Dib-stink?"

"You might want to duck."

"Yes, indeed I would."

"DUCK!", both boys shouted as they dropped down to the ground, throwing their hands over their heads as the missile was soon fired by Gaz.

"Fire in the hole.", Gaz simply stated, as she launched the giant gun's missile. Zora covered her eyes, peeping through the fingers to get a small view of the event.

The tree-house exploded , surprisingly destroying only the window and some of the roof and the special binoculars.

Zim and Dib coughed as the smoke slowly cleared away, having some debris from the 'disaster' on their backs.

Outraged, Zim shot up and shouted, pointing a threatening finger at Gaz, "STUPID DIRT-SISTER OF DIB-STINK! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO ANNIHILATE ZIM! THIS, SIR, MEANS WAR!"

Zora couldn't help but giggle at the threat he shot at her best friend. "Wow, he called you 'SIR'. I like him. He's funny." Gaz, however, glared at the ex-invader, not welcomed by his insult.

"Very well, Zim. This will be war, and mark my words, I shall throw you into a never-ending nightmare of darkness and oblivion!"

Alas, it couldn't be helped.

Zora broke down laughing so hard, she fell to the floor in stitches. Gaz turned around and looked down at her, slightly surprised at her 'reaction'.

Zim stood there, mouth hanging wide open and his left eye twitching ever so slightly. He was stumped.

How in the world did she think he was joking? He stuttered in utter confusion, "W-what's so funny? Zim was serious, Zora-human! Why do you mock me?"

Zim felt somewhat more confused and.. hurt. Was she really mocking him? He was actually serious. He really wanted to beat the tart out of Gaz for her surprising ambush.

Zora struggled to get up, giggling ever so. "N-no, haha. I'm not mocking you, Zim. I just thought that was funny and cute the way you reacted. I thought both you and Dib would have been seriously hurt, but wow! Hee hee, I guess that was a surprise!"

Zim blushed again, feeling a little more better, but was still confused. Which reminded him that Dib was with him. He looked down on the ground and saw that Dib was buried in a larger pile of debris, with only his hand waving around, hoping that someone would have noticed him by now.

Without effort, Zim grabbed his wrist and yanked Dib out of the bits of wood and glass. Minor cuts and bruises were visible on Dib's face, but to Dib's surprise, it hurt a LOT.

"OUCH! GAZ, WHY DID YOU GO THROUGH MY STUFF AGAIN?"

Gaz grimaced at her brother. "Well, serves you both right for trying to peep on us, you filthy toms."

Dib face grew slightly pale, and passed out by Zim.

"Dib-stink! Hey! What are doing? This isn't time for sleep, it's time for battle!"

Before Zim knew it, Zora was right next to him looking past his shoulder down at the poor, insignificant human boy. "He lost quite an amount of blood there. Those cuts must have hit some major arteries. We have to take him inside for further treatment."

With the snap of her fingers, Dib disappeared and reappeared his Gaz's room on the floor.

Zim stared wide eyed at the girl before him. "WHA- HOW- WHO- EHH? HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO DO THAT? YOU'RE NOT LIKE ANY HUMAN I EVER MET!"

Zora looked up at the green male and giggled, "Who said I was human? I'm a witch, you silly goose. Besides, I never met a human whose skin is green before. You truly are weird, Zim.. in a very cute way." She grabbed his hand, and again, with the snap of her fingers, teleported into Gaz's room.

Gaz, apparently, was found kicking Dib repetitively on the face and stomach. Zora and Zim stared at her with concern.

Zora was the first to approach her and speak, "Umm, Gaz?"

Gaz continued to grunt as she kept beating Dib to a pulp.

"What is it?"

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to wake this idiot up. It's not working."

"That's because you're making wounds more than you are mending them."

Gaz came to a halt with her assaults, but fiercely gave Dib one final blow to the gut before finally stopping.

"Well, he ain't dead, if that's what you think."

Zim looked down at Dib, his head looking twice it's average size and drool leaking out of his mouth.

"Well, he isn't that lively either. Zora-hu- Zora, can you heal Dib-stink?"

Zora smiled keenly and knelt down, her palms spread on Dib's now-more-broken body. "I think I can manage. Oh, and thank you."

Zim lifted a brow. "For what?"

Zora looked up at him and smiled, "For just calling me 'Zora'. Suits me better than 'Zora-human', don't you think?"

Zim stayed silent and averted his gaze away. Looking out the window towards the burnt tree-house as the witch healed his comrade, he smiled to himself.

'Yes, it seems it does.'

Gaz got up and headed towards the door, only stopped by her best friend's voice.

"Where you headed off to, Gaz?"

"To order some pizza. I'm starving. Lemme know when the idiot is up."

Zim questioned her last response,"Why?"

As she closed the door, she answered, "So I can beat him down and send him to hell again."
