Summary
Zim finds out his mission is fake and is forced to stay on earth for the rest of his life. Dib eventually finds out about this and notices that Red and Purple, The Tallest of irk, want to kill Zim, which could lead earth in danger, so he gets involved. The two enemies must work together and team up to escape this threat, eventually learning they're not so different and there's more than meets the eye to each other. Yes this story contains ZaDr but Zim is 13 irken years old in this because I said so. I don't care if Jhonen says Zim is 160, if he can ship Zim with Gaz, I can ship Zim with Dib if I want. If you don't like the ship, that's completely valid, you do you but please don't read if you're only gonna spread hate.
