The title for this isn't too great but I couldn't think of anything else. The story is in Dibs Pov almost entirely.
Its also the first story with chapters Ive Posted. ;D YAY!! Any way This story takes place a couple years before the show so It's basically an alternate universe. I think this was a great story idea and I hope someone else likes it. Ill post chapter two as soon as I wright it ;D. Till then Please enjoy.

Chapter One:
Dreams and the Fair

"Dib, wake up!" I heard my sister shout from the hall. "Dad said he was taking us to the fair today and I am not going to be late because of you!"

I opened my bleary eyes slowly and groaned. How could I have forgotten about that. Gaz loved the fair. I could never understand why though. She hates people, and crowds, and cheerfulness in general.

"Alright I'm up." I mumbled to her. She responded by squinting her eyes and walking away.

As soon as she was gone I just rolled over in my bed and tried to remember my dream.

It had been a great one! Better than all the others anyway. Once again there was an alien trying to destroy the earth. Only this time I had finally succeeded in stopping his evil plans.

I smiled and unwillingly got out of bed. My councilor would love to hear about that dream. Yes, ever since mom died, dad has insisted that I see a councilor once a week. She's not really so bad, and she really enjoys hearing about my dreams. Since mom's death they've always been about aliens.

I got dressed quickly; Blue shirt ,black pants and boots, and my black trench coat; then headed down stairs. Awaiting me were my dad, who was making toast, and my sister, who was glaring at me for being late.

"Son your looking in good spirits today." My dad said looking over as i sat down at the table. he was probably smiling but you could never tell for sure.

"I beat the alien." I grabbed a piece of toast from dad and started munching on it.

"My poor insane son." Dad sighed. I didn't care, I never do. What would be the point?

We sat in silence for a few moments. Gaz waiting impatiently for dad and I to finish eating.

"Your councilor called." Dad said breaking the silence. I looked up at him waiting for the news.

"And?"

"She apologizes but she said she can't make it for your appointment this week."

'Of course.' I thought. 'The one time I have something good to say.'

Dad and i continued eating our toast in silence and as soon as we finished Gaz rushed us out the door. She just had to be there when it opened. This particular fair only showed up in this town for one week every five years. A little extreme in my opinion but ah well. Today was Monday and it was just opening. It wouldn't close until Saturday night.

The trip to the fair was a little anti-climactic. I ended up falling asleep. i was just about to stop the alien when Gaz woke me up.

"Awe, come on Gaz," i sighed. "I think i was going to see him this time." Yes, I admit it, I've never actually seen the alien in my dreams. He's always just a colored blur. But I can't get the colors out of my head. Green, pink, red, and black.

"You and your weird dreams." Gaz shook her head jumping out of the car and walking away. i followed. no use trying to go back to sleep now.

Once we were inside the fair grounds I was handed a twenty dollar bill.

"Go on son," Dad looked at me waving me off. "You go have fun. I'll call you on your video communicator when we decide to have lunch." Dad had gutted my digital watch prior to this trip and turned it in to a one way communicator. He could call me but I couldn't call him. I sighed and walked off. Maybe I could find a cool ride or something.

I can't say I didn't have fun at the fair. I was actually having the time of my life. No dad calling me insane, and no sister yelling at me. I was getting ready to get in line for another ride when my watch started beeping.

Dads face appeared on my watch/communicator's screen. "Dib, your sister and I have decided it's time for lunch." it was probably more Gaz deciding she was hungry than anything else. "Meet us at the food stand next to the feris wheel." The message cut off.

"Well no use arguing now." I said as I began making my way over to my family. i stuck my hand in my pocket to see how much money I had left. Only two dollars. "Well maybe Gaz would share something with me." I highly doubted that. But I still had to meet them. I guess I'll say I'm just not hungry.
