Chapter One- Friend And Foe"Look out!" came a yell. Still frozen to the spot, a body rushed into Madison and pushed her and her mysterious savior out of the way of the on coming car.
"Ack!" she wheezed.
Looking up into the chest that was clothed in a stripped shirt.
"Pardon me, miss but are you alright?" came a huff of the person who still reside a top of her.
Wiggling out, she stood up- dusting herself off. "Yes I'm fine." She breathed relived everything was still intact.
Looking down to help her hero off the ground. But he disappeared. She was disappointed, not even getting a chance to say thank you.
"Sigh…Well I think I should go home, who knows who else might try and plow me into the pavement next time I try to cross the road" She joked.
-Later Back At Home-
"Dad?" she asked timidly.
"Yes, honey?" he looked up from his book.
Madison's father was an over the average height for a man his age. He had long chestnut hair tied in a ponytail he wore sliver framed glasses, behind them were rich brown eyes. He wore a grey tee shirt with regular blue jeans.
"Dad, I don't think the people here drive very safely." She said with concern in her voice.
"Now what makes you think that Maddie?" he said using the nickname he dubbed her with.
"Well, promise you won't get mad" she inquired then whispered "I even looked both ways."
"Madison, don't be sill-" cutting her father off. "Promise?" she asked, this time more firmly.
"Yes dear I promise I won't get mad." He vowed, placing his hand over his heart.
"Okay… Ialmostgotranoverbyacrazyfastdriver." She blurted out quiet fast.
"You what?" he yelled, jumping up.
"Daaaaad!" She whined. "You promised!"
Calming down he sat back down, as Madison's Mother came running in, hysterical with tears. Picking her daughter up, and nearly crushing her in bone crushing hug, crying and rambling on about "Oh my baby! How could anyone be so inconsiderate!" you could almost hear over all the hysterics, faint yells from the young Madison.
"Honey! Calm down! She's all right! Your crushing Maddie!" Her husband attempting to calm his sobbing wife.
She suddenly stopped and placed the dizzy Madison on the floor. Madison's mother was a sweet lady (not the sobbing/rambling woman you have just finished meeting). She had short (up to her ear lobes short) orange hair. She wasn't as tall as her husband but you could say a regular height. She wore a golden star around her neck (a valentines gift from her lover). She had bright green eyes. Mrs. Right wore black jeans with a cherry red tank top.
"I'm sorry sweetie, but I heard everything from the other room and my worry for you overwhelmed my better judgment and went super mom on you." She apologized.
"Huff…th-that's…huff…alright mom… besides, you didn't break anything." Maddie breathed.
"Honey, but how did you avoid the speeding car? I always thought whenever you even played car games you were a statue. Right?" she asked confused.
Her husband snickered. "What's so amusing?"
"You said 'Right' that our last name! Yee hehehehe!" he giggled.
"Dad, that isn't funny." Madison said bluntly.
"Well I thought-"
"Shush! I want to hear this!" Mrs. Right hissed. He just scowled but said nothing.
"Well mom, I was saved by a boy, by what I could tell not that much taller then me." Madison explained.
"So who would this mysterious boy be?" Mr. Right questioned.
As Maddie approached the skool excited thoughts swirled in her brain. "My first day at my new skool! Boy I can't wait! Maybe this time I'll make a friend or friends! We could eat lunch-"
Madison's thoughts were rudely interrupted by a ball colliding into her head.
She didn't move, just turned her (rubbing her head with her hand) head to see who threw it. She saw a blonde girl wearing a blue dress. With two other girls behind her.
"Hey! That wasn't very nice!" Madison yelled across to the blonde girl.
"Heh, well if a new kid loser like yourself, is probably to stupid to get out of the way of my ball!" She sneered. The girls behind her laughed and they departed into the red brick building.
"Look I'm making friends already…" Maddie drawled sarcastically.
Inside of Ms. Bitters classroom Zim and Dib argued. Just another typical morning and behind Dib's desk was Tak drawing on a piece of paper (you don't want to know what she was drawing).
Ms. Bitters appeared behind her desk at the front of the room.
"Take your seats now children!" she growled.
Dib returned to his desk while Zim made a triumphant face.
"Today's lesson will be about the-"
She was interrupted by the alarm of a new child. She picked up the phone and said "Oh great another one?"
The door to the classroom creaked open as Madison's head peeked through and stepped into the classroom wearing her black messenger bag around her left shoulder. She walked up to Ms. Bitters handing her a piece of yellow paper.
"Class this is Madison Right. Madison if you have something to say, say it now or face my wrath if I ever hear your voice again!" she hissed. And returned to her desk.
"Ahem. My name is Madison. Some people call me Maddie. None of you are to address me by Maddie-"
"Okay… MADDIE!" Zita yelled out.
"That wasn't very nice, girl with the purple hair." Madison scowled at Zita, how stuck her tongue back at Madison.
"That's enough. You need a place to sit. You!" she pointed at Mary. "Down to the underground classroom!"
With a shriek and the return of the desk Madison walked up the aisle with the eyes of her classmates borrowing into her skull. She passed Dib who gave her a sympathetic look, then passed Tak who held out a piece of paper to her. Confused Madison took it anyways and sat down. She opened it, the note read.
Don't worry about Zita she just horrible human scum. I'll be your friend if you promise an alliance with me.
- Tak
Madison looked over to Tak, who raised her eyebrow is question. Madison nodded. And a smile spread across Tak's face. Madison heard a sigh come from behind her. She turned to see only a book raised and bong fingers holding onto the book. She shrugged and turned back around.
Zim looked over in suspicion giving Tak the evil eye. Tak just scoffed and returned to her drawing.
When the lunch bell rang, Madison was more then relieved, the lesson was turning her mind into baby zombie food (A/N: Adult Zombies don't need their food mushed).
She walked out of the classroom and out to the hallway, where stopped by Zim.
"Umm… Hello." She said kind of nervous.
"What kind of alliance do you human-stink have with Tak?"
"She just wanted to be my friend. Now I'm hungry. Excuse me." Not liking his tone and expression of the green child, she walked passed him. Zim just scowled and yelled "you will not play the head games with me worm child! I AM ZIM!"
She didn't look back. She walked into the cafeteria, looking for a place to sit she spotted a empty table and sat down. Opening her brow paper bag lunch. A boy her age was standing opposite Madison.
She looked up and said, "Can I help you?"
"Hello, can I sit here?" The boy asked.
"Err… Sure." She shrugged and reached into her bag searching for the chicken sandwich.
"Good choice"
"Excuse me?" Madison inquired.
"Choosing the Cafeteria food is basically a death sentence." He joked.
"By the way I'm Johnny C. You can call me Nny." He said.
Johnny was pretty skinny; he had chocolate brown eyes, messy raven black hair on top of his head. He wore a blue plaid button shirt and normal blue jeans.
"I sit behind you in class." (A/N: Now imagine an innocent Nny, isn't that cute? Dressed in plaid ) Taking a bite of his own sandwich.
"Bleghh! Cough! Cough! Delicious, delicious! I'm normal!" A frantic scream came from a table not to far from Madison and Nny.
"I don't suggest getting caught in the affairs of Tak, Dib, and Zim. Nothing but trouble and annoyance could come out of it. Possibly even insanity." Johnny said with a face to match his statement.
"But Tak seems nice, she wants to be my friend." Madison said perplexed being friends with someone could be so bad.
"Trust me, those guys are baaaaad news." Johnny warned.
"Whatever you say." Madison shrugged and reached into her bag for the apple.
After lunch was recess. Madison was a bit nervous afraid she might get nailed in the head with another ball or something far more painful.
She walked cautiously, until stopped by Tak.
"Hello new friend, I saw you sitting with the Johnny child at lunch. Why didn't you sit with me? Your friend…" Tak said dangerously.
A bit startled Madison replied "Well because I like to eat my lunch in peace. I was afraid that Zim would waltz over and begin an argument if you were around. He's not that bright. Really Irritating…" She trailed off.
"Well ok then see you later new friend Madison" Tak said brightly and walked away.
Bang! Bang! Thwap! Bang! Thwap, BANG!
"AH!" Taking quick cover behind a wall Madison was brawled with dozens of dodge balls! She huffed and puffed looking a bit thrashed. She held her breath and looked around the corner and saw where the dodge balls were being thrown by the boy in the trench coat and the green kid also. They were both have a heated dodge ball game.
"Hey! Watch where you're throwing these things!" Picking one up off the ground and throwing it at Zim, which missed. She growled but even though her attempts have failed to get their attention she was ignored.
"Hmph…" She sat under a blossoming cherry blossom tree.
"Oh how pretty." She remarked looking up into the tree. Thinking to herself "didn't think any Skools would have something so nice."
Johnny walked over and sat in front of Madison, "here you can copy from my note book. Ms. Bitters never changes up her lessons. But adds one to all of her lessons once in a while." Nny explained, handing her his notebook.
"That's kind of dull. But thanks Nny. I'll get it back to you as soon as possible." She said smiling.
"Your welcome, oh I almost forgot to tell you. I'm the person who saved you from that on coming car." He said simply.
"Are you serious?" He nodded. "Oh my god thank you so much!" she jumped up and gave him and quick hug then sat back down.
"I don't know how I could ever repay you!" she said breathlessly.
"Well I know one way you could."
"Anything!"
"You could be my friend and we could walk home after school." He offered then smiled.
Madison smiled and said "I'd be honored to walk home with my new friend." She said happily.
"Madison! Tell me one of the four definitions for Doom!" Ms. Bitters yelled to the red headed girl.
"Oh Ms. Bitters, I ZIM! Know the real meaning of the word doom!" He proclaimed and stepped atop of his desk. " It means I will be the one to devastate-" He was cut off by Madison saying without looking up from her doodling "Destiny which cannot be escaped; destruction, ruin or death." She finished. Not taking notice to the way her teacher asked her for her attention.
"Excellent." Ms. Bitters hissed and returned to drawing a diagram of the earth exploding on the chalkboard.
"Zim stood there dumbstruck, and exclaimed to the teacher "Ms. Bitters! That is not the meaning of the word doom! It means me destroy-"
"Silence!" Ms. Bitters said angrily not turning around to say this to Zim face to face.
Zim grumbled and sat down, he shot a glare at Madison; she was still doodling away, oblivious to his glare.
Skool ended, and Madison along with the other children excited the building.
Zim walked up to Madison and said, "That was my question to answer." He glared at her. Madison was still not really caring what he had to say, but acknowledged him anyways. "What are you talking about? She asked me directly."
"You speak lies! Lies!" He screamed. Swiping at the air with his hands.
"Ignore him, he's just jealous Earth won this battle… He's an alien you know." Dib said not to far away.
"I see, well, umm what's your name?" Madison directing her question to Dib.
"It's Dib, professional Paranormal Investigator!" He pronounced proudly.
"Well Dib nice to meet you, but me and Nny better get going for-" She was interrupted by Zim saying "I'm a normal human worm baby the Dib stick is wrong he's crazy and has a big head!" Zim said angrily. "MY HEAD'S NOT BIG!" Dib Yelled.
"Come on Madison, I rather not get in the middle of this." Johnny whispered into her ear.
"Lets go," she whispered back.
Before you knew it he two were arguing and walking at the same time.
-10 Minutes Later-
"Well this is my house." Madison said with a smile.
"My house is down the street." Johnny pointed. "I'll meet you at your house tomorrow morning so we can walk to school together." He said with smirk.
"Ok Nny! See you tomorrow morning!" waving as walked into her household.
