I live! Weird, huh? Anywhoooo… Here is some more random story-ish shtuff for you to ponder over.

"Respawn, the best part of gaming!" Janet snapped up to high-five Gaz, who totally ignored her. Moments of silence later, she cleared her throat and skipped off. "Later, dachi!"

"'Dachi?' 'Watashi wa kataze?' What does that mean?" Dib asked.

"It's Japanese. You really don't need to know what it means, baka nii-chan."

Meanwhile, on the other end of the cafeteria…

"What'cha readin', Little Green Man?" Janet had settled herself next to Zim, ignoring the concept of personal space entirely.

"What? Oh, nothing!" Zim quickly snapped a large book shut and promptly sat on it, not to inconspicuously.

"Lemme see!" Janet stated, picking Zim up by his collar and dropping him back onto the bench, hard. "Fascinating… I have this exact same book!" she gasped. "Well, I did…" she chuckled. "…until you oh-so-cleverly borrowed it." Janet shut the book and dropped it flat in Zim's untouched lunch tray, squashing everything, except what was previously assumed to be cornbread. Both stared at the cornbread spectacle for a moment, until Janet asked, "What are you reading that for anyway?"

"Curiosity." Zim shrugged, opening the book once more, his lunch sticking rather diligently to its back cover. Janet leaned in over his shoulder.

"Studying on today's lecture? Or planning to cut off the world's essentials to bring the downfall of our species?"

Back at Dib's table…

"Wow. Zim has the biggest deer-caught-in-headlight look I've ever seen. Miss Janet must've realized that he's an alien invader, come to destroy us all! Now I'll receive the recognition I so rightly deserve!"

"Actually, she'll get the credit. Not that she cares… at all…"

Zim mumbled something to Janet and she laughed. "What do you mean, 'Useless organs'? The Pancreas does a ton of important stuff! It controls metabolism… Helps prevent mood swings and hormonal spasms… Gives off insulin… Oh! The Gallbladder stores bile, so it can be used to help crush and digest larger amounts of food." She popped a handful of tomatoes into her mouth and swallowed. "You are just too cute, kid!"

"I am not a pitiful stink-child! I AM ZIM!"

"Zim, huh?" Janet snatched Zim from his seat and carried him on her shoulders, ignoring his protests. "Zim-chan! Zim-chan! Zim-chan wa ikkemen! Yatta, kawaii shonen! Watashi no Zim-chan!"

"What is this? Put Zim down, human! Put Zim down and stop your noise!" Zim tried to pry himself off of his teacher, only to cling back on when she loosened her grip under him. She laughed loudly.

"That's my Zim!"

Dib laughed. "What the crap?" Shortly after, he took on the same deer-caught-in-headlight look that Zim had moments earlier.

"Yo, dachi!" Janet ran towards Dib and Gaz, Zim, kicking and screaming, under her arm like a football. She whispered to Gaz,"Watashi ni atarashii booifurenndo ga aru you ni anata no baka no kyoudai ni ii nasai. Kare ha kanashikatta."

"Yorokonde!" Gaz replied, shoving Janet away.

"What?" Dib asked.

"She just stated the obvious. Oh, and she doesn't like you anymore. She said that you were replaced, by Zim, as a lousy boyfriend."

"What?"

"Then I told her to quit going so easy on my douche-bag of a brother."

"Hey!"

"I'm just stating the obvious."

Time is passing… CAN YOU FEEL IT?

"Excuse me?"

"Can I help you?" Janet paused her lecture as that red-headed hall-monitor kid peeped through the classroom door.

"Um… yes. Is this yours?" He held up a battered Zita.

"Is she?" Janet looked toward the class. A few heads nodded. "Yes, that would be mine."

"Well," he cleared his throat, "She was found in the girl's bathroom with…" Leaning in, as if to whisper, "This!" he held up a gigantic tube of lipstick. A gasp passed through the class.

"Interesting." Janet circled the lipstick and stared at Zita a few times. Snatching the lipstick, she sniffed it and shook her head. "Cherry flavored. I'm very disappointed in you, girl."

"Um… It's Zita."

"Whatever. Take your seat please, Zit-uh"

"Zita. Zeeeeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Z-I-"

"I said, 'whatever!'" Janet snarled and threw Zita into the nearest vacant seat. "Thank you. Will that be all?" she leaned down to face the hall-monitor kid.

"Um, yes ma'am."

"Then get out of my classroom please!" she shrieked as she kicked him back into his hallway-like domain that was the hallway, loudly shutting the door behind him.

Time is passing… CAN YOU FEEL IT?

"Itterashai, GAZ777!"

"L8R PEKOSAN!"

"You!" Janet snatched Zim from the stairs in front of the skool. "I'm comin' to your house today, 'kay?"

"Um…"

"Great! Which way?"

"I'm not letting you come to my ba-"

"Gaz, where does Zim-chan live?"

"Ask creep here."

"Alright. Yo, creep!"

"My name's Dib and Zim's an alien!"

"I know, bozu! Where does he live?"

"The green house down past Maple in the cul-de-sac."

"Okies! Itterashai!"

Yes, I am aware that this is about half the length of the last chapter, but I'm lazy and this is a good stopping point. Review please and ask questions!
