All was well in the land of Ooo. The pastures were green, and all the princesses were safe. Finn and Jake were actually rather bored at the moment. They kept trying to best each other at video games, but it got old soon enough. "Hey, man, don't you wish some evil guy would come through a portal from another dimension?" Finn asked. "Nah…" Jake said, half-asleep. "Ah, you're no fun. I'm going to check outside." And Finn did check outside, and to his surprise (or not-surprise) there was in fact, a portal going to who-knows-where. Finn was somewhat disappointed that the bad guy didn't come to him, but he got through it with a stern "Whatever." He quickly rushed inside to grab his backpack and his prized sword, and off he went through the portal.

"GIR! Get me the transverse hydrometer thingamajig!" "Yes, my master." But GIR's dutifulness quickly faded, and he handed Zim a piggy. Zim pressed his palm to his face and got it himself. "There, GIR, the dimensional vortexthingy is complete. Now we just want for things to come to us! Oh yeah, I'm a genius!" Zim did a squeaky victory dance, failing to notice the figure that had already emerged. Therefore, it was quite a shock when the figure said, "Hey! Am I in an alien world or something?" Zim panicked, he had never expected any other humans to come through. "I HAVE A SKIN CONDITION! AND PINKEYE!" "Woah, chill man. It's cool if you're an alien, as long as you're not evil or anything." "Well, I can assure you I'm not trying to eliminate mankind." "Cool, man." "Hey, what's with your hat?" "It's awesome, and the source of my purity and power!" "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FOOL!" "Where?" "You, filthy HYUMAN! GIR! STEAL HIS 'AWESOME' HAT! IT WILL SURELY AID IN OUR CONQUEST!" "YES, MY LORD." Surprisingly, GIR obeyed, and tore the hat off a shocked Finn, revealing a mop of messy blonde hair. "No! I'll die! You don't understand!" Finn yelled, feeling his hair for the first time in many years. "What I understand is that-" "I FEEL THE CORRUPTION ALREADY!" "What I under-" "THE CORRUPTION!" "What-" "CORRUPTION!" "Eh, whatever. Computer, get him out of here." Zim put on the white hat, and the computer promptly tossed Finn and his belongings on the front porch. It was quite a sight to the neighbors. Finn was a sniveling mess, but after an hour or so he became furious and attempted to chop the door down with his sword, to no avail. The house had reinforced itself.

Just then, a kid with funny hair dressed in a ninja outfit walked by and saw a much taller kid, perhaps the same age, banging on Zim's door. "Hey, uh, what happened?" "My hat… was stolen." Finn said gravely.
