It was early in the morning when we finally trooped out into the dump.

"Alright class, today we're going to get a tour from mister Lancey." my teacher droned. For the rest of the morning, we blundered around listening to boring mister Lancey talk about the three R's. (Reduce Reuse Recycle)

But then something caught my eye.

It was small, about half my hight, and silver, with big dead eyes and a small antenna on the top of its bowl-shaped head.

"Omigosh!" i whispered.

It looked just like Gir when he was offline!

I decided to go look at it, so I quietly slipped away from the group.

Big mistake.

As i went closer, it looked more like Gir than ever. I felt the excitement grow within me.

I went right up to it, and touched it's face...

There was a bright flash of white light!

For a second I was in blackness, my hand still pressed against the Gir-thingys mouth, then i was on a street.

I looked around... And i screamed. Everything had a black outline! Everything! I was afraid, afraid to look down. But i did.

My whole body was outlined. I looked at my hands, and screamed again. I ONLY HAD FOUR FINGERS! (well, actually if you count the thumb as not being a finger, i would have three, but whatever, i had four fingers.)

I screamed and screamed and screamed.

People looked at me. One ugly woman pointed at me and said: "Look! It's a crazy screamin' girl!"

I was having a nervous brake-down. To make matters worse, i heard a honk and a screech.

"HEY! STOP BLOCKING THE ROAD!" yelled someone in a red van.

I screamed and ran onto the sidewalk.

I could not believe it. I had somehow come through a rip, between worlds! Then i saw something. The Gir-thingy was still on the road! And just then, a huge truck came roaring around the corner!

And for some reason... I ran back onto the street and grabbed the little metal statue.

Then it spoke, in a dazed way, like it had just woken up.

"Where...Am I?" it asked. Red lights flickered in it's eyes, then became solid and still. It jumped up.

"Sir reporting for Duty." it rumbled, saluting me.

I stood there, in the same position for about 30 seconds, then screamed some more.

0000000000000000000000000000

It was nearing nightfall, and I had finally calmed down enough to tell the SIR unit about myself and where I came from.

But instead of attacking me for not being irken, it said that I reactivated it, and I should be It's master.

"This is so predictable." i sighed, lying down on the sidewalk.

"What am i going to do?"

It was then I thought of It.

Skool. It was easy, just pretend to be a new student, get into skool and stay there until i could come up with a plan.

Since I had to disguise the SIR unit, and I had no technology whatsoever, I just thought i'd tell them I built it. It was a very 'advanced' universe I thought.

And so, I walked around and asked for directions.

And the next morning, I was at the skool.

"Weird, I don't feel tired at all! Maybe since I'm in a cartoon, I don't need much sleep!" I said, interestedly.
