Title: Zim's Blueberry Inflation*
Scene opens in Zim's underground lab. Zim is hunched over a cluttered workbench, tinkering with a strange-looking gadget. GIR, his erratic robot sidekick, is watching a cooking show on a small TV screen, where a chef is enthusiastically talking about innovative desserts.*
GIR* Ooooh… Desserts! I wanna eat blueberries and become big like a spaceship!
Zim* (not looking up) Silence, GIR! Your blathering disrupts my genius. Behold, my latest invention!
Zim holds up a small, ominous-looking device with flickering lights and tubes filled with a mysterious blue liquid.*
Zim* This is the Inflato-Ray 3000! One zap with this, and any Earth creature will puff up like a balloon, rendering them completely useless. I shall start my tests with something simple…
Zim looks around, spots a bowl of blueberries near GIR, and gets a wicked idea.*
Zim* Ah, perfect! I shall use these Earth fruits as my first test subjects!
Zim zaps the blueberries with the Inflato-Ray. They instantly swell up, growing to the size of beach balls and looking rather plump and glossy.*
GIR* (clapping his hands) Yay, big blueberries! Can I eat one, can I?
Zim* No, GIR! We must observe—
Before Zim can finish his sentence, GIR grabs an inflated blueberry and accidentally squishes it, causing it to explode in a burst of juice and splattering both of them.*
Zim* GIR! You Clumsy bucket of bolts! Now look what you— Wait a minute, what's happening?
Zim notices his hand, which is coated in blueberry juice, start to swell slightly. Panicking, he runs to a mirror, and watches as his entire body begins to inflate.*
Zim* No, no, no! This wasn't supposed to happen to me! GIR, help!
GIR* (giggling as he bounces around) Zim is a blueberry! Zim is a blueberry!
As Zim continues to inflate, he floats off the ground, becoming rounder by the second.*
Zim* This isn't funny, GIR! Get the Deflato-Manual! Hurry!
GIR dashes around crazily, knocking over equipment and generally not being helpful. Meanwhile, Dib, Zim's arch-nemesis, peers through the window. Spotting the floating Zim, he can't believe his eyes.*
Dib* (pointing and laughing) What in the world? Zim's turned himself into a blueberry! I have to get this on video!
Dib starts recording while Zim floats, helplessly inflated, trying to command GIR, who is distracted by more blueberries.*
Zim* GIR, stop eating and help meee!
Dib continues to laugh and record from outside. Finally, GIR presses a random button on the lab wall, which accidentally activates a deflation process. Slowly, Zim starts to shrink back to his normal shape.*
Zim* (relieved but embarrassed) Finally! GIR, remind me to recalibrate the Inflato-Ray to only affect humans!
GIR* Okey-dokey, master! Can I still eat the blueberries?
Zim* (sighing) Yes, GIR, you can eat them.
Scene ends with GIR happily munching on normal-sized blueberries while Zim plots to fix his invention, unaware that Dib now has hilarious evidence of his latest failure.*
