*disclaimer* I don't own Invader Zim or FFX, I just own Rue and Zan, Auron is from Final Fantasy X so of course I don't own him, but this is MY fanfic so he is Rue and Zan's adopted father. ;P (THIS IS NOT A CROSSOVER) Lots of POVs and also, Mr. Shoop is based on a hilarious teacher I once had, just so you know! XD (if you don't know who Auron is, go look it up.)

Zim's POV

I was sitting in my base, hacking the Irken Military Database, when I ran across an article on the supposedly extinct race of the Hiaden, cousin to us Irken. At first I thought nothing of it, until I found that the Tallest had actually made the effort to send one to eradicate me. Me? Being killed by a survivor of an extinct race? Ridiculous! But in reality, there was much more to it than I thought...

When I arrived at High Skool the next day, there was a new student, and I knew instantly that it was no human, but indeed a member of the half-Human, half Irken race, the Hiaden. And, it was a girl. She was attractive, even by Irken standards, except for the fact that she was average human size. She had long, flowing deep, blood red hair parted to cover the left one of the eyes that matched her hair. The girl wore a jet black T-shirt that partially revealed her shoulders, a deep red belt, a short-but-not-too-short black skirt, and long red-and-black striped socks with classic black Converses. Wow. I also noted that she had made no attempt to hide her antennae, that her skin was pale and ever-so-slightly green tinted, and the Hiaden trademark X's on her right cheek were visible. I wondered how Dib would react when I wasn't pondering why my face felt hot, why I couldn't stop staring, or why I was drooling...

Dib's POV

I just sat there amazed. This new girl was so hot! Well, that and we haven't had a new student in the three years since Tak. Our teacher, Mr. Shoop, joked around about random things and seemed to forget we had a new student. She was sitting on a stool, drawing in a sketchbook, in the front of the classroom. He eventually got to the introductions, though. Although Shoop said that she had many "rare genetic defects," and that her antennae were "Hyper-sensitive nerve endings" produced due to corrupt genes, I knew it from the start that it was a lie. I knew she was an Alien but much, much different from Zim or Tak. Her name was Rue. I loved that name. She was pretty, and I knew from her tentative glances and blushes when I caught her eye, that she found me attractive. Yes! But from the way Zim was looking at her and drooling, I knew that I had to do my best so that I could win her over before Zim did... That was the day me and Zim, after three years, quit fighting over Earth, and started fighting over her.

Rue's POV

I waited at the front of the room, drawing a cute guy in the class who wore glasses and had a little scythe-like hair thingy in his emo hair. I think the teacher said his name was Dib. I think he knew I was watching him, as he caught my eye and smiled a couple times, making me blush. My teacher, Mr. Shoop, interrogated me and asked many pointless questions like: "Orientation?"

"Straight."

"Okay, status!"

"Single."

"What's your interests?!"

"Paranormal investigations, science, outer space, drawing and sketching, horror, tragic, and suspense literature, among other things."

During said interrogation, my antennae twitched to the side and I thought, Oh, God. I heard running footsteps approaching the classroom door that could only mean one thing. My obnoxious twin sister, Zan.

CRASH!!

"Hi Rue! I just got my classes switched so I can be with you all day!! Isn't that great?!"

Zan had short black hair with purple streaks, her antennae undisguised, like mine. She wore a long-sleeved black shirt with a purple skull on the front that fully revealed her shoulders, and black-and-purple Tripps (baggy goth pants with chains on them). She can be very annoying.

*sigh* "Hello Zan."

"Aww! What's wrong, emo kid? Did I interrupt your drawing?!"

*emo sigh* "Zan.... and yes, you interrupted my drawing."

I mostly spoke with a monotone voice, but when Zan was in the picture, it was hard not to get irritated. Zan then attempted to peek over my shoulder and I pushed her away several times. But to my dismay, she saw what I was drawing.

*gasp!* "Oh... he's cute!"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You like him, don't you??"

Zan put on that mischievous grin as I blushed feverishly and denied that I was drawing anyone as Dib, the cute guy I was indeed drawing, looked at me in amazement, his face red, too.
