Prologue

When Zim woke up on Monday morning, he expected another meaningless, regular day at Skool. After all, Earth was not exploding and none of the Humans were running around in terror without any clothes on…mostly. Besides, if anyone or anything was going to disrupt the natural order of this planet, it would be Zim.

But when Zim arose from his bed, he did feel a little top heavy. He couldn't figure out why, though, as he busied himself with feeding Gir breakfast. As loyal and optimistic as Gir is, he tended to get a little stir crazy if he didn't get his daily stack of waffles.

But as Zim was pouring syrup onto the waffles, Gir jumping excitedly at his feet, he also noticed that the countertop was suddenly a lot easier to see as well. Gir was also a lot smaller than Zim remembered.

"Gir, do you ever get the feeling that something's wrong?" Zim asked slowly.

"Only when I watch those dumb Twilight movies," Gir simply replied.

Zim paid little to no attention to what Gir said, as he set the plate of waffles on the table and exited the kitchen to think. Gir hastily leapt up into a chair, and chowed down on his breakfast. As his servant ate, Zim walked over to the TV to try and contact the Tallests; he hadn't heard much from them since they accidentally entered the Florpus, so he contacted them whenever he was on the verge of a new plan to conquer Earth. Meanwhile, Ger remained completely oblivious to his master's new height, but only at first.

"Hey, Master? Why're you a basketball hoop now?"

Zim was used to Gir's random quotes and outbursts by now, but this was something he didn't anticipate. He was just about to ask Gir what he meant, but the static on the TV finally cleared away and Tallests Red and Purple were displayed. The two Tallests looked beaten and bruised, and the construction going on behind them was evidence of the Massive undergoing repairs from the damage it received in the Florpus.

"Good morning, Almighty Tallests. I called again to tell you of another plan I shall have soon have fool-proofed to correctly invade Earth," Zim began calmly.

Zim waited for a response from the Tallests longer than he thought, which worried him. He opened his eyes and brought his hand down from his prideful pose, and focused intensely on the Tallests' expressions. Their eyes were full of utter shock.

Zim blinked in confusion, "Is something wrong, My Tallests?"

Red and Purple exchanged quick glances, only to look back at Zim in awe. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Zim was taller. Much taller. Maybe a little less than a foot shorter than them. They couldn't even figure out how Zim didn't notice that his clothes and shoes were obviously too tight, as they had been stretched beyond their limit and torn in multiple places. What remained of Zim's clothes barely covered his more private areas, making him appear decent enough.

"Zim…" Purple began wearily.

"You're…" Red added, also unable to finish his sentence.

"I'm what?! What?! Tell me, tell me, pleeeaaase!" Zim exclaimed in terror.

Red and Purple couldn't hide the truth anymore, so they blurted it out in unison, "You're tall!"

Right so, I'm currently writing two Invader Zim stories at the same time. Is this a good idea? Probably not. But oh, well.

Also, I will soon be working on a third Invader Zim story(again, I know it's not a good idea, but I never seem to learn my lesson) with an M rating that focuses on a Tallest Red and Tallest Purple love triangle. If you're interested, then keep an eye out.

Until the next chapter, I'm TRikiD, bye-bye!
