AFTER THE FLORPUS

Extras!

I have no plans of actually finishing this, but I found an old notebook with some notes so here's my extra ideas for a "season 2" of sorts:

Prolog or something:

In the after man of everything, Dib must deal with hard truths and, most importantly himself (ooooooohh)

Dib is excited to go find Zim but finds Tak took her spaceship back with her and won't let him use it anymore. Because Zim is all gone and stuff, Dib is Dib-pressed, refusing to come out of his room, even to shower, just like the beginning of Enter the Florpus. Going back to school, he isolates himself, even from Gretchen, his girlfriend now. Yeah. Until he meets a young lad named Squee while walking home from school one day.

Dib becomes concerned over Squee's homelife because of how scared Squee is to go home and eventually Membrane adopts him. He becomes Dib's little brother and is annoying sometimes but always sweet.

As soon as things start to look up for everyone a bit, some bullies at school start a fight with Dib which reminds Dib of Zim and he has flashbacks. But he also remembers his good times with Zim and has conflicted feelings. Does he consider Zim a friend or bully? Why would he miss his bully? What's wrong with him?

Membrane assures Dib this is normal and he also misses his parents sometimes despite everything. Squee even misses his parents. Stockholm syndrome knows these guys well.

"Finding Zim"

Membrane has his reservations but ultimately decides to help Dib build a ship to get him to space so he can go find Zim. It has plenty of fuel but it's not unlimited so he makes Dib promise to be conservative with the fuel and turn back around when he has half a tank. Dib promises to be careful and Membane bids him good luck, and he blasts off.

GIR is freaking out because now both Dib and Zim are gone, but Squee quickly befriends the robot as a pet and spends all his time with him.

Dib stumbles over different obstacles, but in the end, he does find Zim. He hugs him <3

Mission: Break Alliegance:

Zim is shocked by the hug and honestly disgusted to be honest ew germs. Zim says he's out on the lam because Tak tattled on him that he lead them into the Florpus hole. They somehow survived but now they angy as hell.

Now Dib has to encourage Dib to break his allegiance to the Tallest and run back to Earth, or even take the Tallest down so he can be their leader. Zim likes this idea. Skoodge also pops into the picture and gives them the idea of staging an Earth attack but actually attacking their snacks. Or something. I'm not sure what I meant. Either way it works.

However, Zim betrays Dib because his first decree is to lock Dib up for being a human. Dib is the most betrayed person ever, and vows to get revenge. He finds away out of the cell and picks a fight with Zim.

Banished, by Carelessness, to the Rings of Saturn

Getting caught up in a fight with Zim, Dib runs out of fuel, ending up on the rings of Saturn. Not knowing what else to do, he calls his dad. Membrane lightly scolds Dib for being careless, but does everything he can to help him. The call is cut short as a large piece of debris breaks his arm and his Membracelet. Dib is in great pain and upset that he's lost everything, his friend, his girlfriend, his ship, everything.

Gaz, bored because Paper Piggy-O: The Thousand Year Swine hasn't come out yet and needs something to do in the story, contacts Tak and persuades her to go get her brother (with the intent of later using this to manipulate Dib to buy her more games and cereal.)

Tak, being bitchy about it, picks up Dib technically but throws him back into a cell with Dib. Skoodge is in the cell too, Skoodge is a loyal friend.

All the Irkens, being mindless drones, are not happy about all the leader destroying stuff going on. Even Tak is ansty without someone to serve until she realizes she IS the leader now.

Dib starts to regret this decision to help take down the Tallest, seeing this effects a whole race. Also, his arm still REALLY hurts.

We somehow segway into a flashback where we learn more about Tallest Miyuki. There's ideas on how to possibly revive her given an Irken is essentially their Pak, but nothing has worked yet.

She is akin to Rose Quartz from Steven Universe in a lot of ways. She was gentle, merciful, and clever. The Irkens were like her children. Yet she's racist towards other races of beings actually learns more about them. Towards humans she feels bad for them because they're too stupid. Her attitude towards them influences how the "First Irkens" view humans.

In her view, no Irken is defective, only unique, much different from Red and Purple Tallest and even the Tallest before her. This because in the past she observed how "defective" Irkens can have special advantages in battle, somewhere faster, stronger, taller, more clever, or even had better eyesight. If anything, she encouraged diversity in her species. Red and Purple, as invaders and twins, wanted to see more sameness, undoing Miyuki's social progress when they became leaders.

Back to story, Zim and Dib find Miyuki's Pak and gives it to Skoodge in trade for getting his arm and Membracelet fixed. He can now contact a hologram of his dad, who the Irkens deem must be their Tallest because he's just so tall!

There's a flash back of Mariah and Rae (my ocs) as well as they spy on Membrane, suspicious of him because he never shows his face. They witness him cloning Gaz with a toddler Dib hanging by his side. This reminds them of Miyuki and they start to truly love humans.

Wheelchair leader (bro why did I write it this way??) confronts Booty who tells him how powerful the Membrane family is. He doesn't let him have excuses but because he is loyal, he gives him one more mission. However, Nessie doesn't get the same mercy, and he's vanquished or his betrayal.

Booty's mission is to discover the leader of the Irken race and capture them and forces them to re-open the Florpus and release it's energy so no one can doubt the existence of the paranormal anymore. Real Science has some catching up to do, Eyeball will take over Membrane labs!

Booty sets out to fufill his mission but also get revenge on Dib, thus he goes to the Membrane residence, where Gaz ties him up. For the hell of it. Gaz tells him everything she knows because she doesn't think he can do shit. However, she doesn't know of the events that occured through the last few episodes.

She let's him go on the promise he doesn't hurt her family. Well, actually, she makes him promise to smack Dib for her, a few times (he ate her cereal, he deserves it.)
