Chapter 1: Pranks

Dib stood outside his bedroom, a drink in hand, staring blankly at the obvious prank done to his door. The door was slightly ajar with a bucket of something on top of the door. He knew it was Zim's doing since Gaz didn't do pranks like these. Speaking of Zim he spotted some movement inside his room, obviously waiting for him to fall for his trap.

The now teen shook his head as he came up with his own plan for Zim to fall for his own prank. "I can't wait to get this super cool gift for Zim. I hope nothing gets it wet or else it'll be ruined, now to just open my door-" Dib said before the door slammed open.

"Give Zi-" Zim was cut off by the bucket falling over his head causing the alien to scream out as water drenched the floor and the alien.

Dib just chuckled as he stepped over the burning alien and entered his room, closing it behind him.


Zim was fuming after his plan backfired to prank the Dib. It bruised his ego to think Dib-stink managed to cause his plan to backfire on himself. He has researched these battle tactics called 'pranks' after watching other hoomans do them while recording themselves. Yes, it wasn't like his battles with Dib, these pranks were to humiliate the big-headed hooman.

He slammed open his front door, closing it behind him as he got rid of his disguise as the tv was still showing that dumb monkey show Gir liked so much after all this time. "Was mastah singing in the rain?" Gir asked as Zim eagerly dried himself off.

"No, Zim wasn't singing in no disgusting Urth rain! My plan for humiliating the Dib-beast backfired! So now I have to come up with another one to see Dib-stinks face." Zim replied as he went down to his lab.


The next day at school Dib could tell Zim had something planned for him, he could tell from the grins Zim gave him every time he looked over at the alien. 'What could Zim have done this time?' He thought to himself as he tapped his pencil on his desk.

His question was answered during lunch when Dib was sitting with his tray, a fork at the ready to eat his meal. He barely touched it when it exploded in his face, laughter immediately responded as Dib wiped his face in disgust.

"You have been humiliated by the Almighty ZIM!" Zim laughed as he came over, laughing maniacally Dib kept cleaning his face off.

"Zim." Dib growled before Zim put one of his clawed hands to the teen's mouth.

"You cannot be angry due to the prank rules! Victory for Zim!" Zim declared before running off as Dib let out a sigh.

"Dumb alien." He muttered before a small smile on his features.
