The next day...

(lolsettings XDDDD)

Tam woke up, and got out of bed, sleepy as can be.
She walked past Zo-e's room to the bathroom, not noticind her absence.
She washed her face with an irken liquid. ''Ah, better.'' She said, a bit more awake now.
Then she walked back to Zo-e room and peeked inside. ''Zo-e, ya awake yet?''

She saw a lump in the bed (LOLTHATSOUNDSWRONG XDD) but nothing was heard.

Tam walked towards it and poked the lump. ''C'mon Zo-e, ya lazy bastard. We gotta go to school.'' She said, grinning.
Nothing.
She poked again. ''Zo-eeee?''
She took the blanket away and saw nothing. ''What the-?'' She ran downstairs. ''COMEET? ROOX?'' ''ZO-E'S GONE!'' She yelled.

Rox and Comet ran upstairs. "What? Oh my gosh! What happened?!" said Rox.

''Wha-? What's wrong?!'' Comet asked.

''I don't know but Zo-e's gone!'' Tam said

Rox crossed her arms. "Are you joking? Don't joke about something so serious!"

''I'm not!'' Tam said, crossing her arms as well.

Suddenly a beeping noise was heard below. ''Huh...?'' She looked down. ''A transmission!'' She yelled, and ran quickly towards the elevator, closely followed by Comet and Rox. She went towards the communication room.

There she pressed a button and the screen showed Zo-e, tied to a chair just like in the movies. And several members from the resisty were standing either next to her or behind her, looking evilly at Tam.

Zo-e looked at Tam. "We're fucked."

A Vortian stepped forward. "Hello, err... what's her name?" he asked Zo-e.

"Tam, you moron."

"Riight, Tam. I am Lard Nar, leader of the Resisty!"

Zo-e was snickering in the background. "Resisty?! That's the best you can do?! Pfffffft!" she laughed more.

"Okay, okay, yes I get it, alright?"

Tam, who looked shocked at first, couldn't help it. She started laughing too.
''The Resisty?! Oh please!'' She grinned.

''Anyway, WHYDIDYAKIDNAPZO-E?!'' She yelled, pointing at the screen.

"It's simple. If you want her, come and get her. If you don't, she will be killed in 24 hours. Good bye." The communication shut off.

Tam stood there, still pointing at the screen, eyes wide open. Her antennae drooped and she slowly lowered her hand.
''Those bastards...'' She said.

''Okay! That's it! They crossed the line!'' She yelled, glaring at the screen. Comet hid behind Rox.
Tam ran out of the room, upstairs. ''Gettin' serious now.''

''Wait!'' Comet ran after her. ''What if it's a trap?'' He asked.

Tam raised an antenna. Irken way of raising an eyebrow.

''At least don't go by yourself!'' Comet suggested.

''I'm not taking you guys along, way too dangerous. And... stuff...''

"Are you sure you don't need help?" Rox asked. "It seems so much like a trap! And... wait! What if they rob the house while we're gone?" Rox stood next to Comet. "Maybe we should stay here."

''You guys stay here, I'll go by myself.'' Tam said, stubborn as she was.

''No way!'' Comet yelled, crossing his arms.

Tam sighed and realized with every minute that passed, she'd have less time to save Zo-e. ''FINE!'' She finally said. ''I'll go search help, and you guys stay here to guard the house, kay?''

Comet saluted. ''Yes m'am.''

Tam switched her human hologram on and ran outside.

Comet and Rox both turned on their disguises.

"GUARD!" Rox stood up (on 4 legs) straight and they both marched back and forth the room.

Tam ran outside, not really knowing where she was going.
''Help, help, where can I find help?!'' She said quietly to herself.
Then, an idea popped in her head and she ran towards their skool.

She busted though the door of the class, gaining lots of strange looks from everyone.

''Tam, you're la-'' Ms. Bitters started, but got interrupted by Tam.

''YOU!'' She pointed at Zim, walked over to him, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him outside.

Ms. Bitters raised an eyebrow, but didn't really care.

After they'd left, Dib looked at the door suspiciously. Then he raised his hand. ''Ms. Bitters? Can I go to the bathroom?''

Ms. Bitters growled at him.

Dib backed away a little. ''Thanks!'' He quickly said and ran off, not waiting for her response.

Zim pushed Tam off. "You inferior human! WHY MUST YOU GRAB ZIM?!"

Dib appeared suddenly and jumped into the circle.

''What the- Get out of here!'' Tam said, pointing away from them.

''No way!'' Dib yelled.

Tam slapped her forehead. ''Gah, dammit.... Okay fine, I need your help!'' She said, hating to admit it.
''Zo-e's been kidnapped by the resisty and I could use some help to get her back!''

''The Resisty....? Now waitaminute, WHY WOULD I HELP YOUUU?!?!'' Zim yelled. (sorrydoingonezimlineifyadunmind XD; )
''So you two ARE aliens!!'' Dib yelled, pointing at Tam.

''Shut up! You guys either help me or I'll... I'll...'' s*** She thought. She hadn't even come up with a plan to convince them.
''I'll... Use my giant death laser thingy to blow this planet up!!'' She said, crossing her arms to make it seem more convincing.

Both Zim and Dib raised an eyebrow. ''You don't have a death laser do you?'' Dib said.
''Just help me all right!'' Tam yelled, getting impatient.

"Wait... are you speaking of Zo-e, the Tallest?" Zim said.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT?! I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!" yelled Dib. (soIdidoneDiblinesohawe'reevennao) "And what sort of giant death laser thingy?! HUH? HUH? HUH? HUH? HUH? ................ HUH?"

''Ugh...'' Tam groaned. ''Listen, CAREFULLY! Zo-e has been captured by The Resisty.'' She turned to Dib. ''Some... sort of... rebellion group against irkens.''
''We have...'' She looked on her watch. ''23 And a half hours to save her befo-''

''Now hold it!'' Zim yelled, interrupting her. ''We?! Give me one reason I'd help you!'' He narrowed an eye.

''You don't want to help me save Zo-e? Fine, I'll just tell the Tallests how loyal you really are.''
Zim twitched. ''Dont you dare!'' ''Oh I'll dare!'' Tam yelled back at him.

Dib just stood there, staring at the both of them in confusion.

''Fine...'' Zim finally said, glaring.

''I'm coming too!'' Dib yelled.
''What? No!'' Tam glared at him. ''No visitors!''
''Let me come along or I'll tell the entire story to the school!'' Dib said, shaking his fist.

''FINE BOTH OF YOU COME ALONG BUT HURRY DAMMIT!'' Tam grabbed both of them by the wrist and ran off.

Back on the Resisty's ship...

Zo-e was blindfolded, but she somehow was playing with a ball behind her back flawlessly.

"How do you do that?" asked a deep voice, coming from a guard next to her.

"Years of experience," she said, bouncing it high, and catching it. "Hey, since I'm like, totally helpless and everything, can't I like, get out?"

"I'd love to," the guard said, "But you know, Lard Nar is a bit stubborn, if you know what I mean?"

"I get ya," she said.

Lard Nar walked through the door. "What are you doing making conversation with the prisoner?" he said rudely.

"She's nice, the least I could do is actually not make her totally miserable," the guard said.

"Whatever." Lard Nar went back out of the room.

Zo-e made donkey noises and the guard and her both laughed.

Earth...

The three of them arrived at Tam and Zo-e's base, which looked alot more earthly than Zim's.
''This is your base?'' Dib asked. ''At least it's better than Zim's.'' He said, sticking out his tongue at Zim.

''Wait here.'' Tam said, and ran inside the house. She yelled a quick ''higottagobye!'' to Comet and Rox and ran upstairs.
She switched her hologram off, jumped into their voot cruiser, pushed a button to open the roof, flew it outside and landed next to Zim and Dib. Then she opened the door and both of them jumped inside, pushing eachother away while doing so.

''And off we go!'' She said, and flew it away from earth.

Nearing the Resisty ship...

(yeyIizonlynamingsettings)

(youlazybastardyou )

''Okay, so I don't know if it's a trap or not... But if it is.... Don't try to die. >w>'' Tam said casually.
Dib widened his eyes. ''Wait, what?''
''Hey, you wanted to come along!''

"You are both ridiculous! I shall be the one to rescue her, and have the Tallests acknowledge INVADER ZIM as a soldier!" yelled Zim, smugly.
