"There's nothing we can do, man. Zim's gonna do it, no doubt."

''Who said there's nothing we can do...?'' Tam said stubbornly.

"What, are we gonna be the cure for stubbornness?" Zo-e said.

''No, but we can make sure he gets his payback, without killing him...'' She said, though unsure how.

"How the hell do we do that? I don't thin-" she was interrupted by a light bulb over her head.

Even the oblivious Tam saw the light bulb this time. She grinned.

".... are you thinking what I'm thinking?" said Zo-e, turning to Tam.

''.........I never think...''

Zo-e facepalmed.

''But anyway, whatcha thinkin?''

"We go warn Dib that there's going to be a full-blown out Irken war, and then when only Zim shows up, Dib'll be confused, Zim'll try to go on with the plan, but Dib will be fully armed so Zim won't be able to kill him, but at least hurt him for revenge. Get it?"

''Got it.'' Tam said, and nodded.

"Alright we start on that tomo- WHERE THE FRICK IS COMET AND ROX?! I CAN'T TAKE IT!"

Tam chuckled at Zo-e's sudden burst, though she should be getting used to it by now.
''I'll go look for 'em.'' She went off to search in the house.

Zo-e went upstairs to find Comet and Rox in a room. Rox was putting something on Comet's face?

"Rox, sweetie, what are you doing?" Zo-e said.

"Oh, hi Zo-e," said Rox nervously. "Umm... getting rid of rust on Comet's face?"

Comet turned around and had messy makeup all over his face. "I LOOK 10 YEARS YOUNGER!"

Tam came into the room, saw Comet and bursted out in laughter.

Zo-e just twitched an eye. "Rox! He's a boy! You don't want him to turn ga-"

Rox interrupted. "But I needed to test on something! And we don't have dolls!"

Comet just stuck his tongue out. ''And we were bored!''

Tam just... kept on laughing.

Zo-e wasn't laughing. "Rox, don't ever do this! You want a subject to put makeup on, get in your disguise, go down to the toy shop and buy a doll!"

Comet tilted his head and looked confused.

Zo-e bent down to Comet. "Sweetheart, boys don't use makeup. Don't ever, EVER use makeup ever in your life, okay?"

Comet nodded. ''Okay!''

Tam's laughing slowly faded out and she looked at Comet. ''Looks pretty, though.'' She chuckled. ''But agreed with Zo-e, no more make-up, kay?''

"Tam, watch Rox. I'm gonna go get this make-up off of Comet's face," Zo-e said, picking up Comet.

Tam laughed. ''Sure.'' She picked up Rox and smiled at her.

Rox put her hand on Tam's face. "Your face feels like a cupcake."
