Zim and Tenn thought they had searched every jail cell but they could not find Dib.
"Maybe they ate him." Zim said half to himself.
Tenn shook her head. "Maybe we should just leave him."
Zim considered this but decided no. It was best they find him so he could help. He continued to search when suddenly the ground gave way beneath him, sending Zim tumbling into darkness. Suddenly his arm was caught on something. He looked up to see that Tenn had gotten ahold of him.
"Hang on!"
Zim squirmed. "I'm trying to!" He reached out with his other hand and with Tenn's help, climbed out of the hole.
Tenn glanced into the darkness below. "Well that was a close one. This stupid planet is so old and useless, it's collapsing under it's own weight."
Zim brushed the dust off of his clothes. "Er..thanks for..ya know, saving my butt back there."
Tenn smiled. "My pleasure." She took a step closer and gave a tender kiss on Zim's head. "Come on, let's go find that human!" She walked off.
Zim stood there frozen. What exactly just happened? He shrugged and followed Tenn.
"Found him!" Tenn emerged from a hallway with Dib behind her.
"Thank goodness you guys are okay." Dib said. "I heard a guard saying that the Massive II was just outside the jail. Lets go!"
Zim and Tenn followed Dib outside and there it was. The finest piece of Irken machinery there was ever made. Tenn and Dib stood in awe.
"Come on you two!" Zim yelled, running towards the ship. "We have work to do!"
Tenn and Dib looked at each other and ran after him.

Once inside, Tenn slipped away while Zim and Dib tried to figure out how to pilot this thing.
Tenn opened up her PAK and sent a transmission to the Tallest.
"Hello Invader Tenn!" Tallest Purple spoke up.
Tenn smiled. "Hello my Tallest, I just wanted to call and warn you that Zim is on his way."
Tallest Red nodded. "We are prepared for his attack, thanks to you."
Tenn beamed at his praise.
"When will he get here?" Tallest Purple wanted to know.
"Should be about 5 hours."
The Tallest nodded and cut the transmission.

"TENN! GET IN HERE!" Zim yelled from the other room.
"Coming!" Tenn put away her transmitter and tried to ignore the feeling of guilt that had washed over her.
