'I'm back!' I announced loudly, pushing my way through the door as I stepped foot inside Zim's base, holding a white plastic bag in one hand while closing the door behind me with the other. 'I got the ingredients Gir wanted.' Looking around, I noticed the house was empty and silent with only my presence filling up the area. Stepping over into the kitchen, I gently placed the bag of ingredients down on the table as I called out. 'Zim? Gir?' Just as I was about to turn back around to the direction of the living room, the sound of something screeching could be heard from underground, travelling closer and closer to the surface as Gir poked his screaming head out of the toilet, his big blue eyes staring at me with glee as he hopped onto the floor.

'YOU GET MY SPRINKLES?' Gir asked as he jumped up onto the table, scouring through the bag like a raccoon.

'Yes, Gir, and everything else you asked for.' I replied, watching him grab the container of sprinkles as he began to pour them into his mouth. 'Gir, do you know where Zim is?'

Gir stopped as he turned his head to look at me, his lips decorated in colourful sprinkles. 'HE'S EXPERIMENTING! SHHH!' It didn't take long before the little robot put all his attention back on the sprinkles as he continued to devour them. Looking over to where the toilet was, I hovered my head above it as I gazed down where hollow elevator was.

'Zim! Are you down there?' I called out, hearing my echo travel down.

'YES, HUMAN. I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE!' Zim responded loudly, his voice transcending up from his base. Hearing his response, I just shrugged and walked back over into the living room where the couch was, sitting down on it as I grabbed the T.V remote and turned it on.

Meanwhile in Zim's lab, he was in the middle of an experiment involving a containment chamber, body switching machine and an unopened smeet-tube that he stole from the Irken smeetery facility. He had planned on testing something out with an unborn smeet; to see if he could transfer the body of an already living host into that of a smeet with a pak before charging the pak to life. Grabbing the tube from his workbench, he walked over to the chamber and cracked the tube in half, forcing a tiny non-living smeet to fall right out and onto the floor, surrounded in a small puddle of green liquid. The infant lay still on the ground as Zim carefully attached a pak onto it's back, cautious not to damage the little Irken as he connected the two together. Once the pak was fully on, Zim closed the chamber door and made his way over to the body-switching machine that was already connected to the chamber and Zim's computer. Typing in the required functions, Zim put in the code as he allowed the computer to search for a nearby host. Once the target was found, the machine let out a loud beeping sound before a could of smoke filled up the containment chamber, making it completely opaque from the outside. As Zim watched from a distance, he payed close attention to the loading screen being displayed on the computer as it travelled closer and closer to its end.

Sitting upstairs on the couch, my mind had submerged itself on the T.V as the sound of the news program blocked out the distant noises coming from Gir, who was sitting alongside me crunching on a bag of un-popped popcorn kernels. I was about to turn up the volume with the remote when suddenly I was pulled from my thoughts, feeling a sudden wave of dizziness take over me as I struggled to catch my breath. My hands felt numb and my vision went blurry, and before I could process what was going on, my body fell limp as I slipped into a state of unconsciousness, tumbling onto the floor as I lay there motionless. Gir hadn't really noticed, he was too busy shoving popcorn kernels into his mouth as he continued to watch T.V.
