Thanks so much for the reviews!
As a disclaimer, I own nothing. These are JV's characters! I am just a fan!
"Oh great! JUST GREAT! This is just what I needed! Another alien planning on destroying Earth! As if I don't already have to stop you from blasting us all into oblivion every single day! And then they wonder why I'm crazy!" Dib shouted, throwing his hands up into the air in pure frustration.
"YOU?! You think you have it bad?! He is trying to steal away EVERYTHING that I have worked so hard for! All that is important to me! And he then had the nerve to write his evil plans on this heart shaped note!" Zim shouted back without thinking. He had a crazed look in his eye.
"Quit complaining you whiners...he sent me that STUPID POEM!" Gaz quickly snapped...until she realized what exactly Zim had said. And how he said it...weird.
Dib felt bad for his little sister. "Don't worry, Gaz! I'll find out who-"
"NO! ZIM! ZIM SHALL FIND OUT WHO THIS FILTHY LOWLIFE IS! AND WHEN I DO, I SHALL MAKE HIM RUE THE DAY HE EVER LANDED ON THE ALMIGHTY ZIM'S PLANET!" The alien loudly vowed.
Dib rolled his eyes. "As much as it pains me to say it, maybe we should work together on this-"
"HA! Surely you jest! Why would I require your help?!" Zim said with a laugh.
"Gee, I don't know, Zim. You sure do seem to require Gaz's help a lot lately!" Dib retorted back, as if implying something.
Gaz smacked her head. Dib's comment only angered Zim further.
"Just what is it that are you trying to say?!" Zim asked.
"I think you already know what I'm saying..." Dib matter of factly replied.
"LIES! ALL OF IT! I DON'T REQUIRE ANY HELP!" Zim shouted.
Dib shook his head in frustration "You missed the point-"
"Dib?" Gaz called his name in a dark tone of voice.
"Y-yes?" he fearfully responded.
"Go back to class...NOW! Remember what I said about Mysterious Mysteries?" She asked as she pulled out her phone, and hit a red button on the screen.
"Yes?" He asked, feeling even more anxious.
She held up her phone with a delete icon on the screen. "You just lost an episode."
"W-which one?" He reluctantly asked.
"The one hour Demon Special...Keep it up and I'll erase them ALL! Got it?" She demanded.
"Yes! I'm going now! Just don't do anything drastic!" He pleaded as he obediently ran back to the Rage Wrinkles' classroom, slamming the door shut.
Zim turned to face the slightly shorter human girl and smiled. "Excellent work, Gaz human! He was really starting to-"
She immediately looked him in the eyes. "Look, I normally don't do this. Don't let it inflate your ego or something. I'm just going to cut to the chase...I'm...sorry."
Zim had a look of complete and utter shock on his face. His eyes widened in astonishment. "Say what?" He asked in disbelief.
"I'm sorry. I blamed you for writing that Valentine when you clearly didn't." She said as she maintained her usual cold tone of voice. She didn't need him to think she was going soft by apologizing. She was just...way off on this one. She was...wrong.
Zim just looked at her as if she had two heads. There it was...the legendary Gaz Membrane Apology...until yesterday, it was only heard of. If someone traveled back in time to only an hour ago and told him Gaz would have apologized to him, he would have laughed at them before melting their face off. Now, that he experienced it, he tried to fathom what he had just heard. He didn't even know what to say to her. "Eh? Uh...You're welcome?"
Well, it was better than him just standing there in silence, she thought to herself. She turned around to leave when-
"Gaz human!" Zim quickly shouted in an attempt to stop her from going back to class.
She stopped dead in her tracks, her back facing him. "What?" She asked.
"Eh, um...Never mind." He decided it was best to say, shoving what he was actually going to say and ask her to the back of his mind.
"...Whatever." She calmly said as she continued to her class.
Zim just stood there, eyeing her curiously, watching her walk away.
He finally decided it was time to go back to that dreadful classroom before the Rage Wrinkle makes her grand reappearance. He opened the door and walked into the classroom, where he was greeted by a ton of questions from his classmates.
"Did you kiss her?!" Poonchy asked in excitement.
Dib hit his head off of his desk and felt nauseous.
Zim looked in confusion. "NO! OF COURSE NOT! WHY WOULD I EVER WANT TO KISS THAT PURPLE HAIRED HUMAN?!"
"Well, it's just that you guys were under Mistletoe, so you kind of have to." Poonchy replied.
"WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!" Zim screamed in horror.
"Well duh! Every normal human knows that you have to kiss someone when you're caught under it! It's tradition!" He replied.
"You mean the plant growing from the ceiling?!" Zim asked.
"Yeah... Anybody knows that!" He laughed.
"But I don't kiss humans! Especially her! She would tear my amazing limbs off or something!"
"You never kissed a girl!? Geez! You think you were dropped off from another planet or something! You're so NOT NORMAL!" Poonchy chuckled. The rest of the class followed suit. Except for poor Dib. He was completely mortified.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER, ZIM!" Dib screamed over to the alien.
Zim sat there with a look of shock across his face. First his mission was being threatened and now the humans are growing suspicious of him. It was horrible! Just horrible! This day couldn't get any worse!
Suddenly, the door flung open. Ms. Bitters entered, followed by the small timid kid Gaz had inadvertently saved from a bully, and a...new student?!
"TODD! GO TAKE YOUR SEAT IN THE BACK OF THE CLASS SO WE CAN IGNORE YOU SOME MORE!" The demented teacher barked out an order.
"SQUEE!" The small dark haired kid let out a noise of fear, and ran back to his seat. Dib grimaced at the miserable teacher as he watched the fear filled kid.
"Zim...I see you're still alive, somehow." Ms. Bitters commented, which made the alien scowl.
"Class, we have a new student. He's being transferred to our class after his teacher mysteriously imploded."
Dib immediately raised his hand. I'm onto you, alien! He thought to himself...
"What is it, you horrible child? Don't you know that not everything's about you?" The crone reluctantly asked.
"Yeah, um, HOW DO TEACHERS JUST 'MYSTERIOUSLY IMPLODE!?' IT'S UNNATURAL! IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE WORK OF ZIM! HE WAS ALONE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND 29 SECONDS AND-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH! QUIET BEFORE I SEND YOU TO CLEAN UP HIS ORGANS!" She yelled at the large headed boy.
Dib shrunk back in his seat and folded his arms in pure annoyance, not wanting to go clean up a pile of organs off the floor. He needed to be here to keep an eye on Zim, who was now glaring at him.
Ms. Bitters turned her attention to the student standing aside of her. "Go ahead. Tell them your name." The crone announced. "And take off your hat! You know you're not supposed to wear them in Skool!"
The new boy with the ash grey skin, all black clothing, weird necklace, and shifty reddish-brown eyes slowly removed his hat...only to reveal... a flattened black Mohawk!...that and two horns on the top of his head.
Dib let out one long horrified gasp as his mouth hung open. He pointed to the odd looking kid...
Zim stared at the new kid in suspicion.
"Hola, mis amigos. My name is Pepito Diablo. I am 17 years old. My mother and father just moved back into this horrible area about three months ago...You have nothing, absolutely nothing to fear from me. Just ignore my presence and let us just say, there shall be no...'mishaps'." He said in a Spanish accent. He wore a devilish smile. He had an evil, crazed look in his eyes that could possibly even rival Gaz's infamous death stare. Simply put...HE WAS SCARY AS HELL!
Nobody else in the class noticed anything unusual about this kid, except for his Mohawk. They basically all ignored him.
Ms. Bitters quickly pushed a button on her desk, causing Sara's desk to turn upside down and dump her in a hole that opened up in the floor. Sara screamed until she was heard no more. The hole closed back up again. "She's being transferred to the underground classrooms... Pepito, take your horrible new seat." The crone announced.
And sure enough, the devil boy took his new seat in the front of the class...directly between Zim and Dib's desks. The two looked at the new kid, and both exchanged a look.
"Today's horrible lesson is about decaying flesh, and-"
The new kid raised his hand.
"Yes, Pepito?" The crone asked.
"In the event of a mass demon army coming to destroy society as you know it, how well are the humans prepared to defend themselves from something like that?" He deliberately asked, a smirk appearing on his face.
"Well, we're all doomed of course!...But that's when the Universe eventually implodes on itself." She promptly answered.
"Okay, does anybody see the DEMON sitting in class?!" Dib finally asked. He felt a hint of Deja vu.
All the other students look around back and forth, confused. "Where?"
"Right there!" Dib said as he pointed at Pepito, who was sitting to the right of him.
"Oh, I see him, alright, Dib monkey!" Zim angrily responded, glaring at the demon to his left side.
"That's no kid! That's a demon! One of the monsters I've been talking about! He's here to bring the End of the World!" Dib screamed.
"Not this again! You're crazy!" Zita yelled. She was already getting a headache from all the screaming.
"What about his horrible horns on his head?! And his shifty demon eyes?!" Dib desperately asked.
Pepito began to grow angry, and an orange ball of energy began to form in his hand. "You fool! They-"
"God Dib! You think that because someone looks different you can call them a demon?!" Another kid shouted.
"YEAH! I guess Zim's a demon too!" Brian shouted.
"I'M NORMAL!" Zim shouted as he raised both his hands in the air.
"NO! ZIM IS AN ALIEN! AND THE NEW KID IS OBVIOUSLY A DEMON!" Dib tried to explain.
By this time, everyone had begun to ignore him.
"Back to the lesson: decaying flesh and the bacteria that makes it slowly rot..." The crone continued. Not that Zim or Dib were even listening.
Dib growled in frustration and slammed his fists off of the desk. The demon boy just stared at him. It gave him the chills. Unlike Zim, he was blatantly sitting in class without even a simple disguise...and he had no fear about it. He knew the rest of the kids were probably too dumb to notice. He was smiling. He almost looked proud of himself. Stupid demons...Dib thought to himself.
Zim stared down his new competition. He knew all too well who this was...it was the same boy who had given Gaz that horrible Valentine, the very one that said about crushing humanity. Zim chuckled at the kid and his attempt to 'fit in'. Well played demon boy...but you are no match against the Mighty Zim! Though he must be eliminated as soon as possible...He thought to himself.
Dib continued to think to himself...Wait a minute! The Valentine! It said something about being an Evil Prince or something!...It sounded familiar...OH NO! IT CAN'T BE! SWEET MERCIFUL BIGFOOT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!...The Prince of Evil is a name for...THE ANTICHRIST! Which means this isn't just any peon demon...It's THE demon! HE'S SATAN'S SON!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Why do you keep screaming 'nooooo!'?" Pepito asked, a smirk appearing on his face.
"OH NO! YOU CAN READ MY THOUGHTS, TOO?!" Dib asked in a panic.
"No, you just keep screaming 'nooooo!' out loud. It's annoying." The demon boy answered.
"Oh man! I am really going crazy!" Dib yelled, not being able to differentiate his thoughts from his voice.
"You're just realizing this now, Dibstink?" Zim asked.
Wow! First an alien comes to Earth to destroy everyone and nobody notices except me! And now, the Anti-christ himself has risen to destroy the world, and nobody notices but me...except one other person...Zim! The large headed boy thought to himself. Poor Dib was already having an awful day...
Soon enough, the bell rang.
"Lunchtime!" The teacher hissed.
A crowd of students from all of the classes quickly flooded the hallways to get to the cafeteria. All except a few...
"And Zim! Remember what I said about becoming a lunch lady if you don't bring back your math book? Get it back by tomorrow or you will pay!...a fine! And give the other one back to Gaz!" The crone snapped to the alien as he and Dib followed Pepito out of the door way.
For those of you that don't know, Pepito is the Anti-christ from Jhonen's comic book "Squee"! I always kind of wanted to see how everyone would react to having the devil boy in the High Skool with them! Especially, Dib, Gaz and Zim. I wanted to make his appearance similar to how Zim made his first appearance on Earth. Todd Casil (AKA Squee) is the timid kid in Zim and Dib's class. He is ironically Pepito's friend. Anyways, let me know what you guys think so I can continue to make more chapters.
