Chapter 7: The Door With Frosted Glass

It was a new day at skool, and Marshall wasn't around or even in skool today.

"He's probably too chicken to show up today." Zim said boastfully.

"Or he might've caught a cold." Bumpkin said, as he rested on Alice's lap. Zim turned to glare at the rabbit then he grabbed him by the ears.
"Ruin my moment and you'll be soup, rabbit boy."

Bumpkin made a guinea pig whimper noise then Alice grabbed the white rabbit doll.
"Zim be nice. Bumpkin is just stating some of the other options as to why Marshall isn't here, isn't that right, boy?" Alice asked as she stroked under Bumpkin's chin making him smile and his ears perking.


At the hotel that Marshall was staying, he gazed at the window then looked at his light reflection. He blushed and wrapped his arms around his body.
"Soon, my dearest... Soon we will be together..."

He chuckled then laughed loudly.
"Oh, how I love her! Just thinking of her makes me go wild! This wonderful feeling! Is this what it feels like to love? It's so warm! So hot!"

Suddenly he removed his shirt, exposing his very pale light green skin then he placed his hands on his hips.

"When can we meet her...?"

"Yeah, I wanna see her!"

"Me too!"

"Don't hog her, you meanie!"

"Relax children. We will all get to meet her. Besides... She isn't going anywhere until she gets her heart back." Marshall said as he held Alice's heart and lightly kissed it.


After skool, Alice told Zim and Dib to take Bumpkin home because of her club activities, but it turned out that today was the club's day off.

Well that was a waste... Guess I should head back...

"Ecila..." A voice called her backwards name then Alice stopped and turned to the direction where the voice was calling her.

"Who's there...?" Alice called then she heard giggling and chuckling noises.

"Come, Ecila..."

"Come and play with us..."

"We have... What you want..."

"We have... What you're looking for..."

Alice gasped then she started following the noises. She ran until she heard the voices coming from an old alley way. She walked then she saw a door. It was clear and made of glass and it was covered with a fog. Alice slowly reached for the door but when she touched the door knob she shivered and withdrew.

"It's so cold... Like the door's been frozen..."

"Hurry, Ecila."

"Hurry and play with us."

"Come on."

"Don't be scared."

The voices kept giggling and laughing then Alice grabbed the door knob again and turned it, opening the door. When she got inside, the door shut behind her.
