A/N: Hello again and thank you for reading my story! I'm sorry, but today is a short filler chapter in which I am going to explain some things. Thank you, whoever it is that gave me that anonymous review about my story, I made me very happy that you gave me your opinion, and I know now that there are some things I should clarify about my story. Also thank you Animogx for adding my story to your favorite list and your story alert. It makes it all very worthwhile. I have a lot of fun just writing it, and it makes me so happy that people like my story.
Thing number 1:
this story is meant for humor, and there is only one character I am serious about keeping in character, and that's Auron. I like Auron's personality, but he is very hard to characterize. Zim and Dib are OOC, but I'm trying to keep a little bit of their personalities intact.
For instance, over the years, Dib has quit caring that people don't believe him and as long as he knows that Zim is on Earth, Dib will keep fighting him, even if the focus shifts away from the Earth, and onto a girl in class.
Zim still has his cocky plans and still intends to take over the Earth, but when Rue shows up, his first priority changes to "get the girl, then take over the Earth."
Basically Rue has had a hard life, and she is prone to mood shifts, she can be rather selfish, violent toward Zan whenever Zan does something stupid, self-conscious when meeting new people, and has low self-esteem. But she is loyal to the death for a friend, cares deeply for the few she has, and is dedicated to her scattered race of the Hiaden, and is determined to be the best ruler she can be. Another thing. Rue is me. I base her on myself, all the way down to her appearance. The personality is mine too. All of the above except for the alien race part applies to me. One day I can be as serious as a heart attack, and the next, I can be happy as a lark. Note I said days, and not minutes.
Zan is optimistic, happy, and carefree, always in touch with her inner kid. Rue was once like her, but her personality changed, and not a day goes by that Zan doesn't feel empathy for her sister. Many can truthfully say that Zan is a hyperactive, overexitable, childlike, knuckle-headed kid that does stupid things.
Mr. Shoop is seriously made after a teacher I had. Eighth grade, History class. But his name obviously wasn't Mr. Shoop. I named him after the hilarious "Shoop da Whoop" thing all over YouTube. It seemed to suit him.
Ok, thing number 2:
Here's the fun part. Did you notice I put references to anime and stuff in my story too? I'm a major otaku. ("anime fan" in Japanese) I like comedy anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is my favorite so far, and I like suspense anime like Death Note. I'm quite a good gamer too. I prefer RPGs and adventure games like Zelda and Mario, and Final Fantasy. (Duh. I put Auron in here!) I put music references in too, and I like the bands Flyleaf and Tokio Hotel, the latter being my favorite. I listen to hard rock and emo rock, depending on what mood I'm in, to help control my anger or sadness. So look out for whatever references I make, ok?
Once again, Thank you for reading my story so much, my fans! :)
