During gym class, [[Zim]] and [[Dib (Invader Zim)|Dib]] are pitted against each other in a game of "bludgeonball"(similar to dodgeball except used with mechs about the size of an adult and cannons that fire "bludgeonballs"), in which both are defeated.Zim flies backwards after being hit with a "bludgeonball" and one of his contact lenses falls off, revealing his normal, red Irken eye.He explains it as pink eye and the class believes him. Dib is ordered to go to the guidance counselor of the 'Skool' after accusing Zim for being an alien yet again.

The guidance counselor, Mr. Dwicky, listens to Dib's explanation of Zim being an alien, and says he believes him, apparently having believed in aliens for years. Dib is inspired by another person who agrees with him, and asks Dwicky to help expose Zim. However, Mr. Dwicky is lying and is only trying to figure out what Dib's problem is (though he has probably proved it; Dib's problem is that no one will believe or even listen to him).

Later, Dib shows the counselor an alien schematic for a transmitter he found from Zim's computer. Dwicky suggests that they could pretend to be aliens to expose Zim. The two proceed to contact Zim. Zim is told by the two that they are aliens who have crash-landed in a forest nearby on [[Earth]], and will trade weapons for repair tools. However, Zim has to go to the forest undisguised.

That night, Dib and Mr. Dwicky wait with a video camera, and the counselor asks what Dib's problem really is. Dib realizes that Dwicky doesn't believe him at all. Afterward, Zim quickly arrives, and Dwicky is shocked by Zim, as Zim is shocked that Dib is there. Dib attempts to explain, but then two actual aliens arrive, conveniently with weapons. Dwicky decides to go with them, but forgets that he has the camera on the ship with him.

Alas, alas. Dwicky is gone, Zim now has a stockpile of weapons, and still is not sure what Dib is doing here. Dib is again defeated.

==Trivia/Goofs==
* When Mr. Dwicky explains how his foot got stuck in his escalator, his leg is mangled. However, in the scenes before and after, it's fine.
