Chapter 1 - The trip

Most of the time, things are pretty normal on Earth. Just average every day things going on…and on…and on… Zim thought about this for a while, and a smile broke out on his lips…











“Not for long,” he thought. “Things will be going quite differently when I conquer this world!”











Suddenly, the coach ran over a bump. Zim’s stomach lurched. He threw his gloved hand to his mouth and swallowed the antacid in his throat. He was tiring of this miserable 6 hour earth journey and it’s inferior vehicles. If he had known what camping was when the admission slips had been handed out on Friday, he would never have handed his back. First he found out he was to bring a “tent”, which took him all of Saturday to find, pay for and figure out how to set it up. Then he had to gather together earth clothing for the trip, and actually wear them. It was bordering on the lines of impossible to bear.











The coach lurched again. This time he knew he would hurl. He managed to stop the coach driver on the side of the road and run behind a tree just in time. He was shaking when he was done. He felt empty and cold, and close to tears.











“Being an Invader is hard…” He thought, as he drew himself up to full height.











He would have to live with it, if he wanted to complete his mission. As he emerged from behind the tree, he noticed the Dib-human pressing his face up against the window, sniggering at him. Zim scowled back and trampled through the muddy bushes back to the coach.











When he got back on the hideous earth joke of engineering (as he now thought of it) , all the miserable earth children were staring at him. Suddenly, a girl called Zita cried out:











“Hey! Look everyone, Zim’s back…from puking himself!”











The rest of the children began to laugh, while Dib threw Zim a mocking smirk. Zim peered down In misery and embarrassment at his feet . He glared at all the children , then t Dib, then Zita. She would be the next grovelling human worm-baby he would destroy- after the Dib-stink. He then silently took his seat and thought:











“All in a matter of time…all in a matter of time…”











And with that thought in his head, and a smile spread wide across his face, he fell asleep…
