A pair of eyelids slowly open, revealing brown orbs. Dib membrane sat up, holding his head. Rubbing at his eyes, he glanced at the clock.

"Wow, it's 12:00 already?" Dib slid out of bed, the sheets pooling around his waist. Standing up, he walked to his closet and pulled out a plain blue shirt. Slipping it over his head, he began to move towards the door. Walking down the stairs, he waited for an insult to be thrown at him. Hearing nothing, he stuck his head into the kitchen.

"Huh, no Gaz... Wonder where she went... Ah, who am I kidding, she can take care of herself. I really need to stop talking to myself." Dib walked to the cabinets and pulled a bowl and spoon out. He retrieved the cereal and milk, and ate his cereal in peace. Still feeling a bit hungry, he poured another bowl. When he could still feel the hunger biting at him, he thought to himself, 'What's wrong? Why have I been feeling so empty lately? Huh. I'm actually thinking quietly for once.' He dismissed it as growth hormones after a moment of thinking. Retreating to his room, he decided to try out a different outfit. Reaching to the very back of his closet, he pulled a trunk out of its dark and mysterious depths.

When he opened the chest, he was happy to see that the clothes he had bought, but never worn, were the same size as the ones he wore now. The first thing he pulled out, was a trench coat. The coat's sleeved were covered in buckles, a pair of knee-high boots came next. The boots had three zippers that would allow adjustment for a smaller size. He pulled out a short next. The shirt was for one of his favored bands, my chemical romance.

Changing out of his current state of dress, he pulled on his normal pants, pulled on the shirt and coat, before spending 5 minutes lacing up the boots. Before he left the house, he admired himself in the mirror. Stepping out of the house, he began walking down the street towards his skool. People were giving him weird looks, well, wierder than normal. He paid them no attention, as usual.

When he arrives at the skool, he just walked right to his teacher's classroom. Ms. Bitters immediately pounced.

"So Dib, I see you've finally decided to grace us with your presence. What is your excuse this time? Vampires, aliens (the class snickers), yeti, sasqua-" Ms. Bitters was cut off by dib.

"Actually, I slept in." The look on all of their faces was very satisfying. They were very shocked. All of his excuses before had been blaming something supernatural, but this was a bit too normal, even by their standards.

"If you'll excuse me, i need to sit down" Dib moved towards his desk, before flopping down of the seat. Ms. Bitters growled, but continued her speech about how they were all doomed. And for the rest of skool, that was that.
