Not only was your emotional well being falling apart, but so was the actual school itself. The gripping reality of it hit you when your desk snapped right in half like a twig when Dib leaned on it while talking to you. Almost immediately after you were required to get a replacement from the back to your dismay. Thankfully, the mini fridge would prove useful for the time being.

Later that day however Ms. Bitters offered an opportunity for things to improve after Dib's desk fell apart in her talk about how society would one day collapse on itself. "Well, children, as you know, the desk budget for this year has run out. But the skoolboard has given a chance to lessen your misery." And in a matter of seconds, a video was playing. Oh boy.

"Word up, kids! This is Poop Dawg, the Poop Cola gangsta clown with a little fund-raiser! Do you wanna go magnet with the monies?" The camera then panned to a bunch of children who looked way too happy to be in the set they were in. "Then jack this box of Poop Cola candy! It's the great taste of Poop Cola, wrapped in a layer of chocolate badness! Every bar you sell earns money for your skool! But what's in it for you? Prizes, prizes, prazizes!"

The prizes part peaked your interest however as maybe some of the stuff you needed. "Sell a hundred bars, and you'll win Adhesive Medical Strips! Sell a thousand, you'll win a crash helmet! Sell ten thousand, you'll win an electro scooter! At five hundred thousand, you'll get a hovercraft, plus the helmet, plus a box of Adhesive Medical Strips." Zim looked absolutely uninterested as he explained that the prizes wouldn't work efficiently as they should, and you could tell he was serious. You saw and worked with all the stuff he had and they were no joke.

"But if you all think you's all somet'in with the top sellies, and..with..." Poop Dawg's demeanor changed almost immediately as his posture slumped and his head drooped. "I can't do this." You felt incredibly bad for him but almost immediately after it cut to another take and he was back on his feet. "The top prize is something your brain won't believe! It's so amazing, it's a secret." This suddenly peaked Zim's interest as he marched to the front of the class and started screaming at the screen. Ms. Bitters was quick to punish him however as she slivered over with her teeth baring.

  "Ms. Bitters, why don't they take the money they spent on candy and prizes and use it to buy desks?" Dib questioned looking a little perplexed by the video he just saw. "That answer wasn't in the video." She simply said leaving no more questions to be asked. Later that day as everyone left the building, each student got a few boxes to sell before heading out to go door to door eventually. "Hey Y/N, do you want to sell some of these with me? You and I combined can defeat Zim!" At first you thought about opting out but more or less maybe since the two of you would be focused on selling stuff and walking you'd have more quality time. "Y-yeah! That sounds nice." You replied happily.

"Great! I'll pick you up!" As you saw him walk back to his house, you could feel a tiny tingle in your chest as you stood there a bit starring. Though as soon your mother rolled down the window you were snapped out of it. "Coming hun?" She asked smirking jabbing you with her shoulder. You felt your cheeks get hot as you got in the front seat embarrassed. "Hey. No need to be embarrassed. It was cute." She simply said ruffling your hair before putting the car in drive and heading home.

The very next day you were able to sleep in which felt truly amazing. Nothing was going wrong this weekend. You were just doing normal kid stuff, with a friend. "Like it should be." You thought to yourself as you straightened out your outfit for the day. As you grabbed your boxes from the kitchen table, you could feel your stomach churn. Whether it was from nerves or just excitement was beyond you. However, you managed to pull through and get out the door to find Dib. "Great news! I already sold a box at my Dad's Lab! We'll beat Zim for sure! Did you sell any last night?" You smiled and showed him the empty box that you were now using for the cash.

"I sold about 20 bars from the diner! Antonio bought the most though. What a nice man he is." You replied smiling. "Good start!" He stated before the two of you headed out to sell more. As the day went on, You and Dib had a pretty decent time talking and selling candy bars. For your sake he did most of the talking as door to door activities terrified you. The two of you caught up to the other children soon enough in the bigger neighborhoods and that's where the two of you found Zim. "Follow my lead." He simply said before walking by Zim with you following along. "Hey Zim! I sold a whole box at my dad's lab! Beat that!" You hadn't talked to Zim since the incident on the "trading" planet so things proved to be very awkward with you two. "So, you're trying to beat me to the prize, is that it? Just more proof of its strategic value."

"The only reason I'm selling this dirt in a wrapper is to watch you fail at something else, Zim!" As you and Dib began to part ways, he then immediately thought of something. He then proceeded to smack the bottom of Zim's box, which sent most of his bars flying out, then squirted his juice box before walking off. As Dib's back was turned, you quickly put your box down to help Zim pick up the candy bars. "I'm so sorry." You apologized putting them back in his box before heading off. "Good luck Zim!" And after that the two of you began to sell more bars until your stamina couldn't take anymore.

Dib was determined however to continue his selling, but you were easily pleased with the amount of work you had put in and decided to go home and relax.

  The very next morning school was very interesting to say the least. Zim had expected his prize would be the superior one, but much to his dismay it was simply nothing and he had been played for a fool by the system.

Yup. Just another average day in your screwed up town.
