Miles from any other signs of life in a cave in Colorado a woman sat, her eyes glowing a soft green. She only looked about 25, but in reality she was much older. She was ancient. She had been here since the birth of the Earth, and would always be here to protect it.
In her mind's eye she could see everyone, everything. If the Earth were in danger, she would fight for it. And anything that could become a threat to Earth had to be eliminated. In her mind, she saw a small town. She could practically smell the corruption through her vision. Her eyes burned with anger. She saw them mistreating animals, Stealing each other's property, and worst of all, polluting the Earth! This had to be fixed. She was going to South Park.

The students laughed and ran around the class. Cartman was standing on a desk, holding Kyle's hat out of his reach. Kyle and Stan were yelling at him while Kenny stood to the side, snickering. A few kids were joining in the effort to completely cover Butters in sticky tape. It was total chaos.
"Shouldn't there be a teacher here?" Kenny asked.
"Maybe he died," Cartman replied, unconcerned. The door suddenly squeaked open. He turned sharply and the desk could no longer hold his weight. It collapsed and he landed among the rubble on the floor. The whole class cracked up, and his face turned red with anger and embarrassment. Kyle picked up his hat and slowly all the kids noticed the stranger at the door. A short woman with black hair was standing there. She had bright green eyes and wore a long blue dress. There was an expression of disbelief on her face, which was quickly replaced with anger.
"You. How did that desk get broken?" She said sharply to Cartman, who was now standing.
"Uh… Kyle did it," Cartman said quickly. "He was… jumping on it. I tried to stop him…" The woman's face grew angrier.
"Do I look like an idiot to you?" Cartman opened his mouth. "Don't answer that. I saw that you were standing on it. Tell me, do you stand on your table at home? No? Then have some respect for things that don't belong to you! And do you make a habit of lying? What makes you think that this is acceptable behavior!" All through this speech her voice was growing steadily louder. Kids were edging towards their desks. Clearly, you didn't want to get on her bad side. She walked to the front of the room, and her eyes briefly glowed with anger.
"You will go to the principal right now and explain why our school now has one less desk. Then you will stay after school and clean up this mess." Cartman glared angrily at her then stormed out of the room.
"All right. My name is Miss Oris. I am your substitute teacher today. I do not tolerate horseplay in my class. If you muck up you will be scrubbing toilets until you graduate. Do I make myself clear?" There was a nervous silence. "Good. Open your math books."

In the cafeteria, Cartman muttered to himself under his breath as they sat down and began to eat.
"Miserable old cow. Stay after school? What if I have an appointment? Not my fault they make crappy desks…" The other three stared at him interestedly. He glared at them. "She is! She's twisted. I'm gonna miss Terrence and Phillip!"
"Actually, I agree. There's something weird about her. Did you see her eyes? It was like they were glowing!" commented Kyle.
"I think you've been eating too much cheap cafeteria food," replied Stan, giving him a weird look.
"No, seriously! Whenever she got really mad it was like this quick flash…" he trailed off when they heard more shouting.
"…A complete waste of Tape, which cost the school money! Do you think money grows on trees? Do you think tape grows on trees? I don't think so!" Miss Oris had obviously noticed that the whole role of tape was wrapped around Butters.
"Personally, I don't want to sit through another 2 periods of that," Stan said. "All in favor of ditching?" Cartman and Kenny quickly agreed, but Kyle bit his lip.
"She'll find out. Didn't you see when Wendy and Bebe were passing notes? She had her back to them, but she still was all like, 'No passing notes in my class, Wendy and Bebe'. It's like she's psychically attuned to what we're doing or something." Cartman, Kenny and Stan cracked up.
"Fine, dude. Stay. I mean, who knows what she's capable of," said Kenny, mock seriously.
"Ok, whatever. I'll come. But when she catches us, I'm so telling her it was your idea," sighed Kyle.

Miss Oris sat alone in the classroom, eating her lunch. She angrily thought about the day's events. They're all nasty little liars. Maybe I'll fix that first. She smiled grimly and began to chant.

Sneaking out hadn't been that hard. If you followed a hall no one used there was a back door that someone usually forgot to lock. Once they were out the school they headed for Stark's Pond.
"Still worried about Miss Oris?" Stan said, smiling when he saw Kyle's frown.
"There really is something weird about her. How did she know about that note?" He said anxiously.
"She probably just heard them making all the noise passing it. Seriously, dude, you need to chill. She doesn't have psychic powers and she'll never find out you ditched," Stan said comfortingly.
"Yeah. I guess. It's a stupid idea, isn't it?" he laughed. "I can't believe I nearly wasted a day like this worrying about her. Thanks Stan,"
"No problem." He replied, and threw the snowball he had been concealing behind his back in Kyle's face.
Until 3:00 they had an all out snowball war. Stan and Kyle won when they threw themselves at Kenny and Cartman's fort and buried them.

When Stan got home he went up to his room and got started on his homework. After about five minutes, though, his mom called him down.
"Yeah, what is it…" He froze, halfway down the stairs when he saw Miss Oris standing by his front door.
"Miss Oris tells me that she didn't see you for your last two lessons, Stan," Mrs. Marsh said quietly and calmly. Stan knew she was about to explode with anger. "Were you at school, Stan?"
"No, I ditched and went to Stark's Pond," he said in a rush, before he had time to think of an excuse. His eyes widened with shock. He tried to say something, anything to get himself out of trouble, but instead he said, "Kenny, Cartman, Kyle and I had a snowball fight until 3," Miss Oris' eyes had a smug, satisfied look. His parents and Miss Oris talked quietly for a minute while Stan tried to comprehend what had just happened. He kept thinking Kyle was right.
Miss Oris left and his mom and dad yelled at him for about two hours solid. Then he went to bed. What's going on? He thought, and fell asleep.
hr>
The next day they all met in front of the bus stop, as usual.
"Last night she came to my house and told my mom and dad I ditched. You were right, Kyle. She knows stuff." Said Stan, as soon as he arrived.
"We know. She came to our houses too," said Kenny.
"But the weirdest part was…" Stan continued.
"We couldn't lie," said Kenny.
"Kyle, you were right. She can do things. Today we should watch her closely, see if we can see her eyes glow, like you said. Any other ideas, Kyle?" He paused. "Kyle?"
"The Jew had a breakdown," Cartman smirked briefly.
"He never gets in trouble," Said Kenny, with a slightly humored tone.
"Kyle? Hello? It's not the end of the world. If you didn't ditch at least once during primary school you would have been like, a freak. Don't worry, your parents will get over it," Stan said in a calm voice.
"I'm… grounded," Croaked Kyle. Cartman rolled his eyes.
"So am I. Every kid has been grounded at least once. Its normal!"
"Not for me!" Kyle looked Stan in the eye. "I'm supposed to be the good kid. I don't do bad things. I shouldn't have left school,"
"God, Kyle, stop being such a fag," Cartman said as the bus pulled up. They got on and sat silently all the way.

"I didn't do my homework because I was playing the game sphere all night with my cousin," said Bebe, then clapped her hands over her mouth with a look of fear in her eyes. Miss Oris' face grew angry. Stan watched her eyes closely. Then, just like Kyle said, for a split second they glowed green. He inhaled sharply and Miss Oris looked at him. He quickly looked down at his homework, which happened to be only half finished.
He tried to get Kyle's attention, but he was too depressed to notice anything. He was probably oblivious to this whole truth thing.
At lunch Stan tried to convince Kyle it was all going to be ok, but he wasn't listening. Stan was so frustrated. Kyle was the only one of them smart enough to figure out what was going on. Cartman was too stupid to worry, but Kenny seemed slightly worried.
"I really saw her eyes glow green. It was really creepy," He told Kenny.
"Uh huh."
"You don't believe me, do you?" Said Stan, narrowing his eyes.
"No." Kenny looked shocked. "I mean… well… It's just not possible. Eyes don't glow,"
"I really saw it. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to say, cos' it's a lie!"
"I believe you believe you saw something," Kenny said carefully. "But it's probably your imagination. You heard what Kyle said yesterday, you felt too guilty to lie last night, and now you're making something supernatural out of nothing,"
"Then what did Kyle see yesterday?" he demanded angrily. Kenny shrugged, and continued his lunch.
hr>
After school they had detention. Kyle looked like he was on the verge of tears the entire time. Half the class was still in. Apparently none of them could lie either. Stan sat there for an hour, just thinking about what was going on. When he was allowed to leave he still didn't know what to do. He'd have to get Kyle back to normal.
hr>
That night Stan was very quiet. He did all his homework and went to bed when he was told. Then he waited until his parents fell asleep and climbed out his window onto a ladder he had put there earlier. Stealthily, he crept over to Kyle's house.
There was lattice right outside Kyle's window. He climbed up it and tapped on his window. After a few seconds Kyle opened the window and looked at Stan, panicked.
"What are you doing here?" he hissed.
"You're acting really weird. Seriously, Your mom and dad will get over it. Your detention's over. You've done your time. And I need your help. Can I come in? I think your lattice is breaking," Stan whispered.
"No! They'll catch you, and I'll get in trouble."
"I'm not getting off your lattice until you let me in." Stan said stubbornly. Kyle looked conflicted.
"Okay," He whispered nervously.
"Kyle, what's really wrong?"
"It's just. Okay, I'm sorry. Miss Oris came to my house first and she made me say it was your idea. And that's not all. We can't lie. I'm scared I'll tell everyone my secrets," He looked like he was going to cry again.
"It's not your fault. And what do you have to hide?" Asked Stan.
"I still sleep with a teddy bear. I like the Backstreet Boy's music. I covered that school wall in paint. I was carrying a tin of paint and I tripped," Stan was silently killing himself with laughter. Kyle face turned red with embarrassment. Then he smiled evilly.
"What's your deepest, darkest secret?"
"I raised 5 kittens under my bed for 4 months because they were strays and they would have died," Kyle snickered quietly. "I couldn't just leave them to die!" Once they had gotten over laughing at each other they moved on to more serious conversation.
"We should ask Cartman his darkest secret," proposed Kyle, smiling evilly.
"Definitely. And Kenny." Replied Stan.
"And Butters."
"And Miss Oris,"
"Actually, that's a good idea. We could find out what she's doing, and how she's doing it," said Kyle thoughtfully.
"I saw her eyes glow. I reckon she knows we're on to her," They talked for a while longer, then Stan climbed back down the lattice and went home.
hr>
The next day Cartman wasn't at the bus stop. Stan and Kyle walked up to Kenny with identical evil grins.
"What's your darkest secret?" They asked in unison.
"Sheep scare the crap out of me," Stan fell over backwards laughing. Kyle frowned.
"Why?" he asked.
"Once when I was on a farm when I was little I saw a sheep wearing lipstick, and I said to my mom, 'hey mom, why's that sheep wearing lipstick?' but then all these people started screaming and it turned out it was blood, cos' it had mauled 3 other sheep." Kyle also cracked up. Kenny looked angry. The bus arrived and they got on.
"Where's fat ass?" asked Kyle.
"Dunno," replied Stan. They looked at Kenny. He glared at them angrily. Stan laughed.
hr>
Cartman arrived halfway through the first lesson. He was out of breath.
"Why are you late?" Miss Oris demanded angrily.
"My mom was yelling at me because I fed the girl down the street's goldfish to her dog," he looked surprised at what he had said.
"You will make up the time you missed after school," She said coldly.
"What?"
"Do you have a problem with my rules?"
"Yes! I mean…"
Cartman was getting himself in to more and more trouble. Kyle grinned evilly and enjoyed Cartman's punishment. Stan smiled at him, and then began to doodle in his book with a bored look on his face. After Miss Oris got sick of yelling, which took a while, and they started their lessons. During History she yelled so much she made Butters cry when he admitted he wasn't listening.
"That twisted bitch!" Stan muttered under his breath. He didn't like Butters much, but what kind of teacher treated a kid like that?
"If you have comments about me, Stan, I would prefer you said them to my face!" She began to yell. Her eyes flashed green. How does she hear us? He thought. When she finished yelling at him and gave him a detention, he gave Kyle a look that clearly said She's-evil-and-we-need-to-make-a-plan.
"If you continue to break the rules and rebel against me, I will be forced to suspend you," She said without turning around.
