A/N: Hey guys! I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with this story. I think it might switch POVs but it might not. I'm not really sure so leave reviews if you have an opinion. Not sure when this story will continue unless it gets a lot of views or reviews.

I'll try to keep everyone in character. With some acceptances on Dib's part since he doesn't really remember his Paranormal fascination. If I fail then let me know. Also sorry about the screwy tenses no idea if this is past or present tense.


Chapter 1 – Home from the Hospital

I get to go home from the hospital today. Honestly I'm not sure if I want to… The girl that says she's my sister is kind of scary… and the weird green kid is just plain annoying… and I haven't really even seen the guy that claims he's my dad… amnesia sucks…

"Hey! Dib-stink! Pay attention!"

Man he's annoying… "What do you want?" I asked, swatting at the finger that was poking me.

"I said you should feel honored that almighty ZIM has offered to take you back to your shelter unit."

Shelter unit? "Has anyone ever told you that you talk weird?"

"LIES! I'M NORMAL!" He jumped up on his chair and shouted so loud it made my head hurt. Then again everything makes my head hurt.

"Ok, ok… Seriously are you sure we're friends? No offense, but you don't act very friendly." Ok now that face he just made is actually pretty funny. He looked like he seriously didn't understand the question. Is he really that stupid?

He kinda lucked out on not having to come up with a response to that 'cause the doctor came in. He had me do a few more tests to make sure that I was in good enough physical health to check out. Yeah… physical… too bad I can't remember anything still. I guess memories don't count as health. After everything was done I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door, the click of Zim's boots following along behind me.

"Ok so where to now?" Once again he didn't seem to understand my question.

"Huh?"

"You're supposed to lead me to my house aren't you?" I swear he has the attention span of a fly…

"Oh yes, right. It is this way!" He announced, sounding a bit overdramatic.

"No it's this way." My supposed sister Gaz was walking up the sidewalk towards us from the opposite direction Zim pointed.

The green kid stared at her, "What are you doing here?!" Sheesh… the way he said that you'd think he owned the sidewalk.

She glared over at Zim and stated, "I'm here 'cause Dad told me to bring Dib home." I got the feeling that she didn't really want to be here. She must really hate me… I wonder what I did to make her so angry?

Zim glared back at her and grabbed me by the shirt. He turned and started to walk away, choking me in the process. He's pretty strong considering he's shorter than I am. I'll bet he would have dragged me like that for a while if Gaz hadn't walked up and punched him in the gut. I wasn't sure who I'd be better off following but either way I'm still getting dragged away by the back of my shirt.

Gaz let me walk on my own after we were several blocks from the hospital. My neck hurts from being strangled and now my shirt is all stretched out…. O well it's a weird looking shirt anyway. I was told it's my favorite though I'm not sure why I would like it. It's a dull blue with a grey smiley face on it that isn't actually smiling. It looks kind of depressing. Along with the shirt, the nurse had brought me a black trench coat. But that's packed away in my bag. It's really warm out today so there's no point in wearing something that heavy.

"Why aren't you wearing your coat?" Gaz asked, not even looking at me. What..? Can she read minds now?

"It's too warm out. Why should I wear it?"

"Because you always do," she told me flatly.

"Always?" I asked. She just shrugged. Sometimes the stuff I'm hearing about myself seems so strange. It's hard to believe I was actually like this person they all keep describing.

"Hey! Demon-Female!" I turned around hearing that annoying yell behind us. How did he catch up so fast? Not to mention now he had a strange green dog standing next to him. Looking back at Gaz I noticed that she hadn't stopped. I yelled 'sorry' back at Zim, then turned back and kept following her. Even if he is weird that's no reason for me to be completely rude. I mean for all I know he and I were friends before; it's not his fault that I can't remember.

I wonder if he thinks we can't hear the click of his boots on the sidewalk behind us? Gaz turned around to face Zim, she looks angry…

"Why are you following us?"

He walked up next to me and put his arm around me, "I merely wish to spend time with my Best Friend." Of course as he did this I'm standing there unable to breathe because his arm is squeezing too tight. As I'm struggling to breathe Gaz grabs his wrist and twists it back. Zim let go of me.

Once again I free for two seconds before… once again being dragged by my shirt. So I gave up and just let Gaz drag me away, watching Zim glare towards us as he disappeared over the hill.

"What was that about?" I asked Gaz when she dropped me in front of a house with an electric security fence around it.

"What was what?" She could at least look at me… but no she was just walking up to the house. "This is where we live." She pushed open the door cause apparently it was unlocked. I followed her into the house.

"That… between you and Zim?" I'm not sure why I tilted my head as I looked at her. Is that a habit I did often?

"Look… If you want to live I'd suggest you stay away from Zim."

A lightbulb clicked on. "Do you have a crush on Zim?" No sooner had I asked than my lightbulb had been shoved down my throat. I must be right. Why would she act so angry if I were wrong. Well as an older brother I should do my part to help my little sister get to spend time with the guy she has a crush on! Maybe it will get obnoxious Zim to leave me alone.
