Shadow dark: It would be cool if it come back on with new episodes on Fox, or WB.

That would be SO cool!

Lawyers: Our client does not own Invader Zim, and if she did, Invader Zim wouldn't be canceled...it would probably be on a different channel cause Nick sucks. And if no other TV channel would show it, she would probably find some other way to continue the series...Either way, SHE DOESN'T OWN INVADER ZIM!!

Chapter 4

This chapter was thought up and inspired by Keeper of Memory Pepperochu (yay for you!!)

Zim walked into his small room in the ship to find Red...well, he wasn't exactly sure what Red was doing. So he asked," What are you doing?"

Red had a coat hung up on the bunk bed post. Bells were attached to the pockets.

" Practicing," he muttered without looking at Zim. He reached into the pocket and pulled out a wallet without the bells making a sound. He grinned and said," I think I'll move onto the rest of the crew."

" Stealing from the crew? That'll get you thrown of this ship before you can say 'pickpocket'." Zim stated flatly.

" I'll give everything back!" Red said like a two year old.

" Just don't come crying to me when someone decides they want to blow a hole through your head for taking what's theirs." Zim said.

" As I once read in some alien book,'A man who saunters about the capital with pockets on the outside of his coat deserves no pity.'" Red said.

" Of course, but this is your fellow crew you're talking about!" Zim said in annoyance.

" Being a con-artist is like being a painter. Don't deny me of my paints!" Red said dramatically.

Zim groaned and rolled his eyes. At that moment, Purple walked into the room. They were all room mates, there was even an extra bed. Purple muttered," Shit! You two are like two little kids...hmm."

" Well, if I can't steal from the rest of the crew, then I'll just steal from you. I need to practice, after all." Red said.

"Steal from me?" Purple asked and his eye twitched." Ooooh no! Zim, yeah, Tenn, yeah, but not me!"

" I wouldn't dream of stealing from you Purple," Red said." If I did, then you would stop at nothing until I was dead! And we don't want that, now would we?"

" Hmmmm," Zim thought to himself.

"Not another word out of you!" Red said and began practicing again. Zim pouted then laid down on the bed and stared off into space. He felt a small vibration from the bed, and it was even stronger when he held his hand against the wall.

The ship suddenly jerked to the side and Zim fell of the bed. Red and Purple tried to hold in their laughter, but failed miserably. Zim rolled his eyes at the two and finally asked," What was that?"

" Beats me," Purple said with a shrug.

The ship jerked again and an announcement blared on the speakers," All crew go to sector A7!"

" Lead the way Zim!" Red said as he pushed his short friend out the door.

" Why would you think I knew the way?" Zim asked.

" You don't know the way?" Purple asked in disbelief.

" Yeah I know the way, but that's not the point!" Zim muttered exasperated as he walked down the hallway.

After many twists and turns, they walked into the control room. It had a large window that looked out at space and closest to the windows were the aliens steering the ship. The rest of the crew was slowly collecting into the room and it was becoming a little crowded. Red cackled evilly and rubbed his hands together.

"No pick pocketing," Zim scolded.

" Awwww," Red pouted.

Suddenly a meteor smashed into the ship. It broke into smaller pieces upon contact and fell by them. It took half the crew completely by surprise that everyone screamed or fell over. Just as they were recovering from the first blow, a second meteor came and crashed into them.

" We're heading through an asteroid field!!" Red screamed overdramatically.

" Or a meteor shower," Purple pointed out.

Red shrugged and waved it off," Same difference."

Another meteor crashed into the ship. Zim pulled on his antenna and cried out," My ship! Getting...dented...Curse you asteroids!!"

"Your ship??" Purple asked.

" My ship, Tak's ship, the crew's ship. Must you make a big deal out of this?" Zim asked. Purple just rolled his eyes.

" Okay everyone! Get in order!" Tak said loud enough for everyone to hear. She started pointing to different aliens and giving them orders.

A smaller meteor smashed into the ship again.

Zim groaned and said," This is going to take SO long to fix!"

" I thought you liked your work?" Red asked.

" I do, but I'd rather be improving the ship, not fixing meteor dents and whatever else can go wrong!" Zim exclaimed.

Another meteor hit the ship at the wrong angle and sent it spinning through space. Everyone screamed as they were thrown to one side of the ship and landed in a heap on the side of the wall. They couldn't even hold a hand out in front of their face because the pressure from the ship spinning was to powerful. Another asteroid it the ship and stopped it from spinning, causing everyone to fall to the ground.

" I'm gonna be sick!" Red announced as he cupped his hands over his mouth and ran off to where he hoped the bathrooms were.

Zim stumbled across the room and fell over in his dizzy state. His skin was slightly aqua colored, indicating that he was also feeling sick.

Purple just shook his head, then said in amusement," I don't know, it was kind of fun." a few other irkens fell over like Zim with aqua colored faces. Purple looked around and asked," No, not fun?" he laughed." Well then, sucks to be you."

" Okay...okay.." Tak mumbled slightly dazed to herself." Mimi! Are we almost out of the asteroid field!?"

A holographic form of the black cat appeared next to Tak and said in a female robotic voice," Not yet Captain."

" Holographic too?" Purple asked Zim in amazement. Zim nodded sickly.

Tak growled loudly, then cried out to the aliens driving the ship," You better not hit another meteor!!" it seemed more like a threat then an order.

The aliens nodded nervously and kept an eye out for the oncoming asteroids. The ship swerved and curved around the hundreds of flying rocks. Everyone was thrown about every which way. Red stumbled back into the room and couldn't help but laugh whenever someone flew through the air or fell over. His eyes went wide and he looked like a little kid on Christmas when he saw that many aliens were distracted and wouldn't even notice an inexperienced pickpocket stealing from them.

He walked around the room and carefully slid his hands into random crewmate's pockets. He took whatever object was there and stuffed it into his own pocket. With each thing he stole, he became even more giddy. Before he even knew it, he was giggling like a maniac.

" Red?"

Red snapped out of his crazed stealing daze and whipped around to see a rather aqua looking Zim. Red twiddled his fingers and gave Zim an innocent look. Zim stumbled and fell over when the ship turned again, but Red stayed upright.

" What are you doing?" Zim asked.

" Nothing," Red replied innocently.

" Nothing, or something?" Zim asked.

Reds eye twitched and he grumbled as he emptied his pockets. The objects clattered to the floor and soon became lost in the crowd of aliens. Zim sighed and shook his head, then fell over again when someone curved the ship around another meteor.

" Did you find a bathroom?" Purple asked Red.

" Uhhh...nnno," Red said slowly, then turned to the rest of the crew and yelled," Hey! Nobody go into that closet!"

" We've made it!" The drivers cheered." We're out of the asteroid field, there are no more meteors!"

The ship shook from another impact.

" Except for that last one," one of the drivers replied sheepishly.

Tak growled in annoyance and said to the drivers," That's coming out of your paycheck!"

The pilots groaned and Red snickered.

" There's a planet close by that we land on and fix the damage to the ship. Once that's done, we can be on our way." Tak announced." It's coming up, prepare the ship for landing! Everyone else can return to their work. I'll allow you all to take a short break once we're there, so you get a chance to look around. But don't get into trouble!"

Red whistled innocently and walked off in a random direction.

End chapter 4...I think...I can't think of anything else to say so thanks for your reviews, and a special thanks to Keeper of Memory Pepperochu, who gave me the idea for this chapter!! WOOH! Review!
