Sha's POV
The moment I woke up that morning I realized something. I was not on the soft carpet anymore. The terrain felt really hard.
Shannon, you're not in Emily's house anymore. I thought as I looked around this unfamilar place.
I noticed the other girls were sprawled out everywhere and each one was asleep. I didn't want them to wake up; they'd freak if they saw we were in a place that seemed like a different world. I kept my mouth shut, like there was duct tape completely covered over it.
But that didn't stop the others from waking up. One by one, their eyes opened. They were practically toys that had been powering up.
"Guys." Annie looked at me. "This isn't Emily's house."
"Oh god!" Rosa said, seeming freaked out.
"Guys, we're in some sort of purple room," Grace said surprisingly calmly.
"I can see the sky." Emily pointed up.
"But since when was the ground...PURPLE?!" Mica asked.
"I think...we're on another planet," Emmy said.
We all seemed to be trying to scream, but it wouldn't come out of our systems.
"You think there's some way to get out of this place?" Michelle looked over at me, like I was the leader of this group. Which I wasn't!
"Okay, we can split up. Into four groups of three," I said, trying to take charge.
"Assignments?" Dani asked.
"Okay...Emmy, Gina, and Mica you'll be in one. Emily, Grace, and Rosa will be in another. Alyssa, Janay, and Michelle are the next group. And...Annie, Dani, and me in the last."
So every group went off in the direction of their choice. Annie, Dani, and I went west.
"I'm sexy and I know it!" Annie and Dani sang together, for fun, as we walked. I giggled at them, but knew Taylor Swift was more my speed, so I hummed "Sparks Fly".
"Galactic conquest is near! Galactic conquest is near!" I heard some voice repeating. It sounded awfully familiar.
"They said that in Invader Zim," Dani said.
"Oh my gosh, they did!" Annie realized.
"Welcome, brave Irken soldiers," we heard a voice greet us...or so we thought. "Welcome to Conventia, the convention hall planet. Please, proceed to the docking ring and take the complimentary teleporters to the planet's surface!"
"We're already ON the surface." Annie rolled her eyes, oblivious to the fact that mine and Dani's mouths hung open.
"Be sure to visit the gift shop for all kinds of cheap, useless stuff!"
"Nah." Annie laughed.
"If you're here for the Great Assigning, please remember where you parked and proceed to the main convention hall."
"So, we're not alone?" Annie asked Dani and me.
"Annie, don't you get it?!" Dani asked.
Then she suddenly had an ephipany. "WE'RE IN INVADER ZIM!"
Grace's POV
I was chilling with Emily and Rosa, looking around this place, when Emily's cell (A/N. YOU GET A CELL PHONE EMILY! xD) rang. She picked up and answered, "Hello?" right away.
"Yeah!...You know where we are?" Silence for a few minutes. "You're kidding right?" More silence. "Okay, I'll tell the others and we'll meet you there." She hung up.
"Guys, Sha, Dani, and Annie know where we are." Emily looked at Rosa and I.
"Don't leave us hanging! Where are we?" Rosa asked.
"Invader Zim."
"WHAT?! NO!" Rosa and I said simultaneously.
"How do you know?" I asked, feeling like I was going to have a heart attack.
"Sha told me the opening lines of 'The Nightmare Begins' were heard by her, Dani, and Annie. We have to go meet them at the main convention hall."
"I can't believe this!" I said, pacing around. "We're in Invader Zim, one of the greatest shows ever."
"Do you think we could be dreaming?" Rosa asked.
"This feels way too real," Emily shook her head.
She had a point. I had had dreams that felt real before, but not like this!
So we started walking and while we were, we bumped into Emmy, Mica, and Gina.
"Did you guys hear?" Emmy asked.
"That we're in Invader Zim?" Emily said to her.
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!"
"Sha told me."
"Oh, she told me too!" Emmy sounded hyper.
"If only Rainbow Dash were here," Gina said dreamily.
"Oh gawd." Mica facepalmed. "She drank DP."
"We should just...go," Rosa said.
"Yes, we should," I agreed.
So we were walking and Emmy was acting hyper and Gina was high and everyone was trying to calm them down.
I wouldn't have this any other way.
Rosa's POV
We were halfway to the convention hall, when we bumped into Alyssa, Janay, and Michelle.
"You guys, what's going on?" Alyssa asked. "Where are we?!" Then she ran to me and hugged me. "ROSA!"
I hugged her back. "Hi Lyssa."
"Okay, Lyss, we're in Invader Zim," Grace said. Michelle and Janay didn't hear.
"WE ARE?!" Alyssa started jumping around. "GIR!"
"Nuh uh, I'M getting GIR!" Emmy argued. "Haha, just kidding."
Alyssa fretted for a second. Then she started jumping around again. "STUFF!"
We all chuckled.
Janay looked at Emily. "Where are we?"
"Invader Zim," I answered for Emily.
"And we have to meet Sha, Dani, and Annie at the main convention hall."
"Why Invader Zim?" Janay asked. "Why not South Park?"
Michelle sighed. "Janay, we don't have time for this. We're stuck here and we have to deal."
"I'd rather sing," Janay laughed.
"I know, and I'd rather fight along Mysterion."
Janay and Michelle started talking about more nonsense and we continued walking.
And walking.
And walking.
Dani's POV
Sha, Annie, and I waited a long time for the others to come to the main convention hall.
Where we were all hiding.
Specifically, we were all hiding in the bushes in front of the hall. The last thing we wanted was for the Irkens to spot us and do horrible things to us.
"Galactic conquest is near!" was said over and over by that red robot and I was honestly starting to get annoyed. I only heard it twice in the first episode; nothing more.
"Where are they?" Sha asked. "The Great Assigning is about to start and I am not gonna miss Zim and his sandwich."
Annie and I stifled a laugh.
As if on cue, Emily, Rosa, Grace, Emmy, Mica, Gina, Alyssa, Janay, and Michelle ran to the front of the convention hall. They seemed to be searching for us. I peeked from where I was and saw zero Irkens in front of the hall. They must have all gone in. So I emerged from the leaves and grabbed Michelle by the hand.
"Dani!" Michelle exclaimed.
"Guys, we have to shut up," I said to her and the others.
"Why?" Janay asked.
"The Irkens could hear us," I said matter-of-factly as Sha and Annie stepped out of the bushes.
"We have to sneak in then!" Emily said evilly.
"They'll see us for sure, and know we're humans," Annie pointed out.
"Or will they?" Emmy asked.
"I get it." Sha caught on. "This is the beginning of the series. So they don't know what humans are. And we can convince those gullible Irkens, we're disguised!"
"Nice!" I smiled. "This will totally work."
As we walked in, we each grabbed a purple balloon and stood, in the crowd, genuinely interested.
Alyssa's POV
" Now, wiggle your antennae in salute, because here they are! Your all-knowing, all-powerful leaders, the Almighty Tallest!" the announcer introduced. Everyone wiggled their antennae, but our group had to clap slowly without making noise. And it was hard to do that because I wanted to jump up and down and clap loud!
We watched as the Almighty Tallest appeared, thanks to LASERS! I LIKE LASERS! We all cheered and I finally got to jump up and down. Emmy had to calm me down.
"Thank you! Thank you!" the Purple one said.
And then I heard them talking about lasers. LASERS!
And a laser beam hit Purple in the eye and he fell over and screamed in pain and we all cheered (I USE "AND" A LOT!).
" Welcome mighty Irken soldiers! You are the finest examples of military training the Irken army has to offer! Good for you. Standing behind us, however, are the soldiers we've chosen for roles in one of the most crucial parts of Operation Impending Doom II!" Red said.
I yawned as the hologram went from a blank screen to a map.
"You in the audience just get to sit and watch."
" You should have tried harder!" Purple agreed.
Why would I wanna be a stupid invader anyway?!
"These superior ones-" Red started
"-Not quite as superior as us of course!" Purple cut in.
"Pffff... Duh! These less superior than us but still quite superior soldiers will each be assigned to an enemy planet!"
They went on to explain all the stupid things these invaders would do. Blah, blah, blah. The Invader Zim obsessed people, like Emmy, Sha, Annie, and Dani, were intently listening, mouthing every word the Tallest said, like they knew it by heart.
Invader Larb got assigned to some planet with a comfortable couch. That was boring. I wouldn't wanna lay down on some couch! Then Invader Skoodge got assigned to a boring planet with slaughtering rat people!
"Get out of the way! Move it, move it! Get out of my way! Move! You're in my way!" I felt someone push me and Sha. Sha started staring ahead. The very person who had pushed her, was Zim, her obsessive crush!
"Thus concludes the great assigning!" After about a million assignments.
Zim continued shouting.
"Help yourselves to some nachos, and we'll see you at the equipping station."
" Yes, gorge yourselves, you mooches!" Purple said. They seemed to agree on EVERYTHING!
"No, no, no! Wait!" Zim yelled.
"That voice!" Red said in surprise.
Zim crawled onto the pod. Sha stared in awe.
We were staring at an alien. AN ALIEN! OOOO!
Annie's POV
"No!" Red yelled.
"It can't be!" Purple stared at that little Irken that we all loved (except Sha loved him way more).
"ZIM!" The Tallest yelled together.
"Sorry I'm late, my Tallest. I couldn't find my invitation. You're lucky I made it at all."
"You weren't invited at all."
"But he should've been!" Sha disagreed under her breath.
I giggled.
"Weren't you banished to Foodcourtia? Shouldn't you be...frying something?" Purple asked Zim.
"Oh, I quit when I found out about this."
"About the Great Assigning?" Janay whispered to Michelle. Michelle nodded.
"You quit being banished?" Purple asked, like he couldn't believe it. But I could!
"The assigning is over, Zim," Red said to Zim.
"But you can't have an invasion without me! I was in Operation Impending Doom I! Don't you remember?"
"Oh yes, we remember," Purple said, his face looking like he was in thought. I remembered watching that first episode, Zim was destroying Irk, the entire city. No wonder the Tallest hated Zim!
"I put the fires out!" Zim protested.
"You made them worse!" Red, clearly annoyed, told him.
"Worse...or better?"
I noticed Sha was pushing her way through the crowd, probably to converse with Zim. Ah...no big deal.
WAIT! What was I thinking?!
"EMILY!" I whisper-yelled to her. "SHA IS GOING TO THE STAGE!"
"Oh god!" Emily said.
"We have to go after her," Emmy said.
We all started running and pushing every Irken out of our path.
If Sha interrupted this, it could ruin the entire show.
Unfortunately for us, we were too late. Sha was at the edge of the stage...and everyone noticed her. They even saw us running toward the stage. My feet slid as I struggled to make them stop, like brakes in a car.
"Who...are you?" Red stared at the blonde-haired girl in her blue graphic tee and navy blue jeans.
"I'm Shannon, you can call me Sha, and it is such an honor to meet you My Tallest!" Sha bowed.
"Awww, she's bowing down to us!" Purple said, feeling flattered.
"Well, what are you?" Red asked warily.
"I'm an Irken like you guys," Sha lied. "So are my friends." She waved her hand out at us for empathsis.
"But," Sha continued. "we are in a disguise right now."
"And why is that?" Red questioned.
"We're blending in with a new secret planet we discovered. Isn't that right guys?"
Ad libs of "Sure", "Yeah", "Mhm", "Totally", and "Whatevs" came up. I was one of the many that said, "Sure."
"Secret planet?...I don't believe you, you traitors! SEIZE THEM GUARDS!" Red ordered.
"Oh my fricking god!" Alyssa yelled, whilst Zim stared at us girls.
"Good going Sha, you've upset the balance of the show!" Janay said.
"SHUT UP JANAY!" Grace rolled her eyes as the guards started coming over to us.
"There's no time for arguing you guys! Sha was just doing something cool!" Emmy, taking the position of peacemaker, told us.
"There's only one thing we have to do you guys," Sha said.
"And what is that, Sha?" I asked.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
