Once again, morning had arrived. Each morning brought forth the beginning
of a new day (of course, since that's the definition of morning, isn't it?)
and each day brought forth the evil-ness of his faroff neighbor. But, for
some reason, he figured it might be different today. Some reason he
couldn't figure out. With a yawn, Dib crawled out of his bed and staggered
into the bathroom, his hands rising to rub his droopy amber orbs beneath
his glasses. He quickly took a shower and pulled his clothes on before
cleaning his glasses and heading downstairs. He was somewhat hungry, but
not very much, so of course his breakfast of toast would suffice.
He headed silently into the kitchen and caught barrage of toast that flew at his head, his eyes shifting over towards his sister, Gaz, sitting at the table and munching on half a piece she had left. She hardly acknowledged his existence as she stuffed the last bit into her mouth and picked up her GameSlave to head into the other room.
"Move it, nimrod..."she grumbled to him as she pushed by him, a small sigh escaping Dib as he quickly buttered his toast and began to eat while fixing himself a glass of orange juice. And then it came, the distinguishing sound that separated all the other days from this one. The doorbell. "Get the door! I'm watching 'When Cheerleaders Explode'!" came his sister's voice from the living room. He let out a sigh, finished the last piece and hurried to get the door.
"Yes?" he asked as he opened it, looking up at the pair of people on his doorstep...a rather odd pair.
" Lookit that kid! He's got cool hair! We can use him..." said the first girl, staring back at him with a strangely spooky expression on her face. She was fairly tall, light brown hair with blonde hair reaching down to just past her shoulders while she wore a pair of jeans and a black shirt that said "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me" on it in pink writing.
"...What?" was his only reply as he took a step back from the girl. "She's kind of....um...scary..."he thought to himself, backing up even more as the other person soon caught his attention . She stood there silently...a bit too silent for his liking, while staring back at him with dark brown eyes. She was taller than the first and wore a pair of black pants, a baggy black shirt, and a heavy black coat. And strangely, she wore a pair of red devil horns on the top of her head.
"Yees, yeees...perfection...we must have him...."the girl whispered, staring down at him as well while her tanned cheeks puffed out a bit in a smile. He'd begun to feel like some sort of exhibit.
"...well, I'm gonna...go now, so...um...bye..."he said, backing away a bit more and slowly beginning to close the door.
"Nooo!" said the devil horn girl, pressing her hand against the wooden barrier and grinning at him. "We have things for you...plans, boy...greeeeat plans...YOU'LL LOVE THE PLANS, I TELL YOU!" she exclaimed.
" Yes, yes, you shall love the plans...you shall love them...LOVE THEM GOOD!" the first chimed in, chuckling evilly. "You must be in our town play."
"You live in our town?" Dib asked, looking at them a bit closer.
"No...but...we...um...JUST PAY ATTENTION!"
The demon girl stepped forth and handed him a pamplet, grinning insanely and nodding her head to nothing. "I made that myself on my amazing computer with my rapid typing skills! I type like a maniac!" she told him, clearing her throat for her next little announcement. " Yes, yes, you're perfect! All fuzzy and such!"
"Fuzzy?" he asked as he moved a hand to his hair. It was all happening so fast...he didn't even know who these people were and they were already forcing him into a commitment.
"Mmhm. But first, we must introduce ourselves. I'm Vet and this is Kaci. Say hello, Kaci!" the second girl said as she adjusted her glasses, turning to look at the first.
"Hello..." The girl replied, rubbing her hands together menacingly, "Vet, he's greeeat...he's the one..."
"Will you people just tell me what you're talking about? I'm starting to get confused..."he said to them irritably, his shoulders tensing a little as he stared up at them. Vet simply gave him a strange look before looking back to Kaci for a second or so, nodding somewhat.
She finally cleared her throat and turned her attention back to the impatient boy, smiling softly. "You're going to be our Simba, Dib. And tell your sister and your father about the play as well. They have to be in it. I'll be back tomorrow for your reply. " she said to him before turning and walking away while motioning for Kaci to follow.
Kaci giggled like some sort of insane thing that giggles and petted Dib on the head before turning to follow her friend. "Bye bye, Dib!" She called over her shoulder, "We're going to have -so- much fun."
"But...hey...Wait a mintue! How did you know my name!" Dib called to them, his eyes widening a little before he dropped the pamphlet and began to chase after them. "I want some an.....swers..." Sadly, he was cut short as the two seemed to disappear into a small crowd, the bystanders dispersing after a second or so and leaving no sight of them whatsoever. "...What's going on?"
He headed silently into the kitchen and caught barrage of toast that flew at his head, his eyes shifting over towards his sister, Gaz, sitting at the table and munching on half a piece she had left. She hardly acknowledged his existence as she stuffed the last bit into her mouth and picked up her GameSlave to head into the other room.
