How DID They Get Acquainted?

Chapter 1: The Bus Ride

Hi there. Yes, it is I, Creator-Daz. I have returned, if only for a little while. I decided to rewrite this AU fic, because some people seemed to really like it, but I couldn't stand how I'd written it the first time. I'm an effin' perfectionist, leave me alone.. xP Anyhow, I don't own Invader Zim or Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I own my character-self, Pur, Lin, and my Dib spin-off. I also own my fan-classmates, my fan-bus driver and my fan-teacher. Chapter one is told partly by Daz, partly by Dib, partly by Zim, and partly by Lin. Go read now.

Daz

I finished packing the last of my clothes in my suitcase. Sighing, I closing the locks, and thought again about how this trip was going to suck majorly. It was a mandatory field trip for all of Ms. Kilah's [pronounced KILL-ah] class. We would also be going with another class, whose teacher was Ms. Bitters. I knew this camping trip was going to be torture, as it was a whole weekend long, and in a forest. It was extraordinarily vexing, because number one, I would to miss a Swollen Eyeballs meeting. Two, I seriously disliked the outdoors since I was an electromaniac, and loved to play with electricity. Three, I was one of the outcasts in the class. The other would be Lin, my sworn enemy.

Lin is a were-wolf, and I am a video-game-loving, mentally unstable, paranormal investigating inventor who can shoot balls of electricity from my fingertips. You do the math. Anyhow, I'm always made fun of by my peers for my.. Odd.. Personality, and I can hardly imagine spending a whole weekend with those imbeciles without killing them, much less another class of them.

"Master, we're gonna miss the bus." Said Pur, my SIR unit and loyal companion, as she poked her head into the room.

"Huh? Wha- oh.. Right, you go get your disguise on, I'll be there in a second."

Turning the travel case on its side, I picked it up and with the disguised Pur by my side, I rolled it along to Skool, where the rest of my classmates had already gathered. We didn't have to wait long before the bus had arrived, and the driver, Mr. Kizmabut [pronounced KIZ-mah-butt], was, as his name implies, scratching his rear as he opened the bus door. I took a seat in the front right-hand side, resulting in everyone moving to the left-hand side. Pur stood up in the seat and hissed angrily at the kids, until I pulled her back down, casting a glare back at Lin, who was also sitting on the right-hand side of the automobile.

The bus then came to a halt in front of another Skool, and opened the doors for Ms. Bitters' class. The kids in that class could automatically tell that Lin and I were on the other side of the bus for a reason. All but two, that is. A boy wearing a unique outfit, including a trench coat, which surprised me, and a green child. I instantly knew something was odd about the green one. I mean, hey, he was GREEN. These two boys sat on the right-hand side, while their classmates crammed in with my classmates on the left-hand side. [It's a big bus, you see. Usually used for transporting sumo wrestlers and such.]

I turned in my seat to get a good look at the green boy. He was wearing a red dress-like thing and had a green dog with him. He glared at me, and I glared right back. Idiot. I figured he might be an alien, and I couldn't let him and Lin get together, or Earth would be doomed to a horribly doom-y death.

Dib

I couldn't believe my rotten luck. I was stuck on a mandatory, weekend-long camping field trip with all of Ms. Bitters' class and some other class. At least Zim was forced into going too. I was on the bus when I noted that there were already two girls sitting on the right-hand side of the bus. Outcasts, I correctly guessed.

I turned in my seat, glaring at Zim, until I noticed something about the girls from the other class. One looked almost a lot like me, and the other had red eyes and what appeared to be fangs. I looked quizzically at the one who looked like me, for she was also glaring at Zim. Maybe she KNEW! Maybe I wasn't the only paranormal investigator in the area..

Then I noted her pet rabbit. Something about this girl wasn't right, as her pet was dark purple and black, and wearing the outfit of the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. Rabbits aren't normally dark purple, just as dogs aren't normally bright green. Was she an alien? She didn't have green skin, but she could be wearing makeup, or using a hologram like that stupid Tak did..

I turned my attention to the other girl. She had light brown skin, and was wearing black overalls over a blood-red turtleneck, and light brown hair. Her fangs glistened in the sunlight streaming through the window beside her, and I could tell she was SOMETHING paranormal. As we pulled into the parking lot of the registration area for the camping grounds and Ms. Bitters got out, I had about a bazillion questions running through my head. Who was the look-a-like girl? Why did she have a purple and black White-Rabbit-dressed pet? Was the other outcast human?

Zim

Stupid, moronic human stink-beasts! Them and their "camping trips"! I glared at the worm-monkeys on the opposite side of the human transportation unit. Then I noticed the other meat-bags on MY side of the bus. Aside from the Dib, there were two others; females. I admit, I was caught slightly off guard when I saw one of them, who looked remarkably like the Dib, glaring at ME! THE ALMIGHTY ZIM!

I glowered at the human, but she didn't stop. I turned away to get Gir off the window so the humans wouldn't get suspicious. It was then I became conscious of the other dirty monster on my side of the bus. She appeared to be different from the rest somehow. She was scowling at the other earth-children, and appeared to not like them.

Maybe she wasn't a human after all.. I sat back down in my seat on the filthy bus, glaring at the Dib, who was seated near the front.  Gir was pressing his face up against the window again, but this time I ignored it. If the brown-female wasn't human, there was a slight possibility that we could join forces. Then we'd take over Earth much faster, and I'd get rid of her and claim this mud-ball for Irk! Yes, that would work fiiine.. Well, hopefully it would turn out better than operation Ultra Peepi..

Lin

I searched through my backpack for my discman, doing my best to ignore Daz's glares. That stupid mortal was always on my case. I mean, what's a werewolf to do when some pesky human is following her every step? Annoying as hell. Her and her stupid little robot…

I gave up the search, remembering the desired equipment was in my suitcase, which was in the luggage compartment on the huge bus. Great. For the first time, I looked up at the others on my side of the bus. Daz, a pale boy who looked kinda like her, and a green kid. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought that the pale boy was Daz's brother, as they looked so much alike.

Then, I almost laughed when I saw that the green child was staring at me, Daz was staring at the green child and the other boy was staring at Daz. It actually looked pretty odd. The bus had just come to a halt, and the mortal children were leaving the bus. After the "normal" ones left, next was the boy, then Daz, then the green one and I was last. I jumped off the steps, taking in the green scenery. One thought crossed my mind as I stared at the dull green trees and shrubbery of the forest: This weekend is gonna suck.

Review or I shall hunt you down and tell my cat to eat your face. D I kid you not.
