Hello...this is my first multi-chapter Invader Zim story... I can already tell you that it probably sucks really bad, but I'm going to post it anyways.

I can honestly say that the chapters will be short, possibly no more than 500 words, for awhile. I have school, chores, and another story I'm currently working on. Of course you've all heard this excuse before.

Disclaimer - *opens a letter* Dear author, we are happy to inform you that you do NOT own Invader Zim
*pulls out a lighter and burns letter* Burn! Burn this horrid letter of truthness! *evil author laugh as paper burns and sheds a single tear*

Prologue

(Dib's POV)

I am sitting on top of my roof, just looking at the stars.

"Why does my life have to be so crappy all of the time?" I ask the stars. They sparkle at me as if to tell me that its going to be better.

"Nobody believes me about the aliens, even when the proof is right in front of them. My little sister is the mega-queen of scary. And everyone at school beats me up and calls me a freak." I say fingering a large bruise on my cheek.

I plop down onto my back and just stare at space. This is why I really wanted to become a paranormal investigator, to explore what space may have sent us on our little planet. My mother and I used to talk about space all the time before she died. She was going to take me to see every galaxy known to man and alien.

"And what really sucks, is the fact mom isn't here anymore. She would have believed me, she wouldn't have said I was crazy or try to beat me up. Mom would have told me to keep going and to never give up even when things looked bleak." I say with determination as I sit up, holding a fist up to my head.

I sigh and plop back down on the roof tiles. "I miss you, mom. I know you're happy though, you're probably exploring the galaxies as I speak. Learning everything there is to know about the endless contents it contains." I tell my mother's spirit. I'm sure she left part of herself here to watch over me.

"You also would be disappointed in me if you were here." I tell her. "I mean I used to be so sure of myself. But now, I'm a worthless nobody. I'm the insane emo kid that cuts himself in the boys bathroom." I sigh and play with the bloody bandages on my left wrist.

I sit back up and pull my laptop over onto my lap. Opening it up, it instantly shows my screensaver which was a picture of me and my mom, Sarafina Membrane. I was only four when it was taken, but I was stilling wearing my signature trench coat and hair scythe.

Some things just never change. I think as I smile to myself.

I pull up the alarm program and set it for 7 o'clock in the morning. I don't think I have the strength to crawl into my room. I just want to stay out and lay under the stars forever, sadly I can't since school starts back up tomorrow.

I sigh. "Goodbye summer, hello hell-hole." I say to nobody. Talking to myself doesn't exactly help my case of not being crazy, now does it?

I close my laptop and lay it to the side, so that its in reach when the alarm goes off. I then take off my trench coat and fold it up, placing it under my head like a pillow. The last thing I see is a shooting star zooming across the dark night sky.

Remembering my mother's words, I close my eyes. "I wish that everything was different and I could just start over fresh." I wish out loud.

I let out a big yawn and settle down on my trench coat pillow, kicking off my shoes as I fidget against the roof tiles.

The last thing I can remember was a voice that sounded like my mother, but must have been the wind. "As you wish, Dib. As you wish."

So yeah, that was the first chapter of my Invader Zim chapter. I hope that you will review it and tell me what you think.

Flamers will be thrown to my mutent ninja monkeys who will torture you with 8 hours of interpretive dancing on their new movie, The Banana Princess
