Chapter 1: Summer Break

Emma P.O.V.

"So then I rammed his head right through the wall!" A girl with short red hair said.

The girl was Sam a new friend I had made about a week after I came here. Her long bangs covered her right eye and she wore a blue and black plaid shirt with a black tank top and dirty jeans.

I laughed with her and her older sister Kim who had short brown hair and glasses wearing a black t-shirt and jeans.

Sam had been telling us about what she did to a jerk at her old school that called her short. Kinda reminded me of someone else I knew.

As soon as we caught our breath I heard a small clank of a lunch tray hitting the table next to me and Zim sat down.

We were all in high school now or as this world calls it "Hi Skool". It was mine and Sam's second year and Kim and Zim's last year. Well really last day. It was our last skool lunch together. We all knew it but we weren't sad. I guess that's a plus of living with Zim.

"So Emma are you gonna come with us this year?" Kim asked.

Zim looked at me confused since he hadn't been with us when we talked about it. I was going with the girls for a weekend at their summer cottage. I was sad Zim couldn't go but they only had room for one friend plus it is on a lake and even if he wore paste he might still be uncomfortable.

"Yeah! Zim you're okay with me going with them to their lake house over this weekend right?" I asked.

"Sure. I have something I've been meaning to do and I feel like it would be best if you weren't around." Zim said smiling.

"What kind of stuff?" I asked.

"You'll see." Zim replied smirking.

Zim had been acting a little weird lately like there was something on his mind that he wanted to tell me but also didn't. I hadn't figured it out yet.

The bell rang and we all headed to our last couple of classes. We got out at three grabbed our things and met up in the band room.

Sam was the only one of us that took band because Kim and I took choir and Zim took art but we met up there because it usually took her a while to grab her stuff.

We chatted with a few of the other hyper kids in the room and left the school some of them for the last time. Sam and Kim got on their bus and me and Zim started to walk home.

"So you're sure it's okay if I go?" I asked one more time.

Zim nodded putting his arm around me. I smiled and rested my head on Zim's shoulder as we kept walking.

We heard a movement in the bushes and saw a small glimpse of a certain black coat. We rolled our eyes and I picked up a small rock from the pavement and chucked into the bush.

"Ow!" Dib poked out of the bushes rubbing his throbbing giant head.

"Why do you have to keep spying on us Dib-worm?" Zim groaned.

Yep Dib was still stalking us. He hadn't been able to find out much other than I was living with Zim and that we were a couple. But that was kind of obvious. We had destroyed his cameras and he hasn't been able to get anymore in since. I'm really glad he hasn't found out that I wasn't from this world. He would probably try find a way to send me back.

The two of us shot him a couple glares and continued on our way.

We got home and Gir ran up to greet us. I cuddled him a little and dropped my backpack on the floor. Gir had really grown to like me and I can actually get him to listen to me every once in a while.

We sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. we watched whatever was on for a few hours and ordered a pizza for dinner.

By eight Gir was asleep in the empty pizza box on the floor and I was in my room packing for the weekend. I heard someone knock on my door and Zim came in.

"Hey Emma?" he asked. I stopped trying to stuff my clothes into my bag and looked over at him. "I just wanted to say my goodbyes. Zim may not be awake when you leave." He said hugging me.

I hugged him back and kissed his cheek.

"I'm just going for the weekend Zim. Not forever." I smiled.

"Zim knows that but Zim will miss you." Zim whispered not letting go of me.

Zim went to bed and I finished packing took a shower and went to bed myself.

Zim P.O.V.

I couldn't sleep not until I was done.

I sat awake in my room staring at the ceiling and waited. I laid on my bed for hours staying perfectly still.

The only light was from the dim red glow of my alarm clock. I knew I needed to wait but it was far too quiet for my taste. I picked up the small music player and my headphones that Emma bought me last year and played some of my songs.

Being with Emma had made me a bit of a music lover. I usually listened to music from Emma's world. Her laptop still somehow showed websites from her world. I had gotten the songs that way.

I picked the first song at random and it happened to be a Skillet song. This band always reminded me of Emma since it was her favorite. The song was called Rise and it was one of my favorites and one of Emma's too. I guess beautiful minds think alike.

Later I crept out of my room and snuck past Gir who was still asleep inside the pizza box.

I slowly opened the door to Emma's room with a small creak. Emma was curled up in the pile of warm blankets resting on top of her.

I pulled a small syringe out of my Pak and gently pulled her arm out of the pile of blankets. I hesitated and slowly poked the needle into her skin.

She winced in pain but did not wake. I felt bad not telling her but I wanted to keep it a surprise.

But what if she didn't like it? That's stupid! Of course she would be okay with it but there was still a chance…

I pulled out the needle and stared at the ruby red liquid inside. I put a small Band-Aid on Emma's arm and began to leave the room. I was almost out when I slipped on one of her shirts that was lying on the ground. I hit the ground with a thud and I heard Emma began to stir. I quickly slid out of the room before she woke up and went back to bed.

Now comes the hard part.

AN: Yeah first chapter and I already gave you a cliffhanger. I'm a tricky bitch. I will try to make the other chapters longer so wish me luck on that. Now I gotta go before I'm late for my own B-day party! I'M OUT!
