Ok, this is going out 3 reviews early especially for Invader-Katz. You rock dude. Ok, so here is the next chappy, I promise this one will be longer.

Chapter 2: The Transmission "Both of them had the same thing going through their head as their faces blushed to a dark red. "This is awkward"."
They stared at each other for a few more seconds before Cat broke the awkward silence. "Ummmm, can you get off of me?" "Uhh. Sure" Dib replied. He got himself on his feet and extended a hand to help the 7-year-old girl up. As her hand touched his, he suddenly never wanted to let go. He wanted to keep her hand in his forever. Until the world's end. She looked into his eyes with an expression of amazement and wonder. As if she felt the same way too. As she pulled on his hand, he saw her china blue eyes and her lips getting closer to-

"DIB WAKE UP!" a sudden voice from nowhere screamed. The moment around him dissolved at once and his feelings turned to surprise. He yelled and jolted from his position, and 12-year-old Dib sprang from his bed and nearly fell out of his window. A hand grabbed his arm and yanked him back on to his bed. "I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SODA WAS YOURS!" Dib opened his eyes bracing himself for Gaz's gaze of death. But instead was face to face with, not his sister, but his best friend Cat. Cat looked just like she did 4 and a-half years ago on the evening when they first met. Her china blue eyes were still blue, Her hair was the same length but the red color of her hair now resembled that of a rose in bloom, and her gaze was still the thing Dib always dreamed of. But why was he able to see her features so clearly now, when in the 4 years they've been partners in paranormal investigation, was he able to see her face like he did on that night? "Dib what are you- oh by the way, the score of me saving your life is now Cat: 14 Dib: 13. But anyway, we HAVE to get back on the roof Dib!" Cat hastily told Dib. Then Dib realized why he could see her like that. Her brown newsboy hat, the one she never took off unless she had REALLY big news, was off her head. Dib's eyes widened. If she had been on the roof, she had been listening to his satellite transmitter. And if she had big news, there was only one conclusion…

She had heard them…

The two paranormal investigators raced up the stairs of the Membrane home and on to the roof where a satellite connected to a laptop with headphones was making beeping sounds. Dib dived for the headphones and yanked the cord so that the sound could flow from the speakers in the laptop. This was it; this was the proof they needed. Cat was surly recording this on the laptop and now they were about to be the first people ever to hear a transmission from another world. Cat's face suddenly turned to anger. "Dib what are you doing? Don't you remember that the speakers on my laptop are busted?" she rushed forward to plug the headphones back in. They both put one ear on a separate speaker, desperately hoping that there was still someone there talking. But all they heard was "Curly fries". "NOOOOOO!" Dib yelled to the world. Their one and only chance to prove to the world that there was intelligent life on other planets, to prove that they were right, to prove they weren't crazy like everyone thought they were, was gone. Cat suddenly slapped Dib. "Cut it out." Cat said. "We only just missed the live broadcast, I used the D.S.A.R.P to record it." Dib's face changed from anguish to joy faster then a traffic light.

Cat was always tinkering with gadgets and devices. She knew how things worked so well that she had invented some things herself. Like the floating-video phone. Her father, Professor Taylor, kept saying to Dib's dad: "If she just gave up on the whole "craziness" she just might become the youngest Scientific Gadget Engineer." But Cat hated having to come up with useless inventions that everyone else found entertaining. She was forced to invent the first ever episode of "The Scary Monkey Show" by using a monkey with a stall-chip in its brain. After she filmed the first episode, all people had to do was keep showing the same episode and people never knew the difference. But she loved to use her inventing skills for her and Dib's paranormal research. This just happened to be a Deep Space Audio-Recording Program. "Let's hear it!" Dib said eagerly as he put the headphones back on his head. Only to have Cat yank them off 3 seconds later. "I'm downloading the broadcast to my computer. The whole thing won't be ready for a while. " Dib's face fell a little. "But" She continued, "We can listen to the last minute of it. Maybe the words "Curly Fries" will make since this time." Cat sat down next to Dib, plugged in an extender pack, put two headphone cords into the extender and they put the headphones over their heads. Cat clicked the "Play" button and a voice began to fill their minds.

"We will send you to a planet, soooo secret." Begin an annoying yet powerful voice "No one has ever heard of it" Dib glanced at Cat. Vice versa.

"Right" said another more annoying yet equally powerful voice "And those who have heard of it. Dare not speak its name."

"What's its name?" said the third voice that suddenly pounded on their ears. But this voice was different. It wasn't powerful, but who ever said it, was odiously an egomaniac. Dib could tell by the proud ness in whatever-this-thing-was voice. But after this, Cat took off her earphones and felt a wave of confusion wash over her. Even Dib could feel it. He could see by the sweat on her face that something about this voice frightened her. "Cat?" he said to her. She turned to him. Her face, this time, wasn't full of wonder and amazement, but mix of confusion and strain. As if she was trying to remember something. Or someone. "I've heard that voice somewhere before." She quivered. Her voice frighten with fear. Dib hadn't seen her like this since her father wanted her to go to the hospital for a job interview for the tech repair crew. Cat hated hospitals for some reason. Dib never figured out why and when ever he asked her she'd always say, "They keep blood in refrigerators. Isn't' that enough to make anyone feel sick?" Dib's attention turned back to the recording when the annoyingly powerful person said something about lasers.

"The universe will be ours for the taking" it said, "It's only a mater of time before all the races of the universe serve the Irken Empire. I'll have a serving of curly fries."

"They're coming!" Dib said to Cat. Cat stared at him with worry. Then, as if she knew that her duty to earth was beginning, she put on her newsboy hat and followed Dib to the Membrane's kitchen- Via- drainpipe. Only to almost land in a water filled sink. Instead, Cat hung on to the pipe and carefully got on to the counter. Where Cat, who took a proud pose, announced, "They're coming! And we've got proof!" Only to remember that both Mr. Membrane and her father were out at the lab tonight. She looked at Dib, who had just climbed out of the sink-dripping wet. "Now what?" Dib asked his paranormal partner. "I guess we go back up and wait for it to be downloaded to the disk. Then we'll send it to the Swollen Eyeball Net." They clamored back on the roof, expecting the disk to be out and fully downloaded.

But as Cat looked at the screen, a mask of sheerer horror was plastered on her face. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed. "What?" Dib asked, "What's wrong?" he asked as he took a look at the monitor. The screen had a warning notice on it that said, "Downloaded file to disk" He couldn't figure out why Cat was flipping out. Then he saw it. The disk drive was open. And the disk was gone. Both of them stood there in shock for a good ten minutes until the monitor suddenly flashed and there attention was pulled toward it. The screen flashed from normal, to an odd sign with odd shapes and symbols floating behind it. The sign looked like an alien. Cat stepped back about a foot. Then a count down appeared on the screen. "RUN AWAY!" Both of the kids yelled as they ran from the self-destructing laptop. Just as they were about 5 feet from it, it burst into a million pieces. After the smoke cleared, all that was left was the satellite dish and a big scorch mark where the laptop had been. Dib look at Cat. Her eyes were big and fearfully. She turned to him and in a hushed voice said "Something tells me that we're going in way over our heads"

And that's the 2nd chappy! I told you the other chappys would be longer and better! Please read, review, and stay tuned!
