A/N Geez, sorry it's been forever, but I kindof... forgot... to announce my haitus(to those who care -_-') but, finals were up and with the rest of school and stuff...ah, who cares! I was gone and now I'm back! Review please, I hope I haven't gotten rusty...Enjoy! Oh, and thanks to Daisy's Dead Rose for supporting this!
I swore, then and there, that the occurrence the first half of the day would not affect my mission. It was lunchtime and Dib invited me to sit next to me all alone at a table in the corner.
"Usually I sit here alone, but you haven't seen my 'crazy' side yet," he said, using air quotes.
"Your what?"
"Nothing," he said quickly. "Hey, I saw you look at Zim during attendance. Do you know him? If not, I could warn you about him." Dib glared at Zim across the cafeteria, poking the 'food' Dib warned me not to eat.
"Yeah, I know him," I said. "Although, when I knew him, he was much more…" I searched for the right word.
"Excitable? Annoying? Crazy?"
"Yes, and destructive. A destructive little—"
He cut me off, "Alien?"
"You know?" I covered my mouth before I could blurt out any more information. It was too late.
"You know?" He jumped up onto the table, knocking over the grey sludge, barley missing me with it. "I'm not alone!" He shouted across the cafeteria, attracting the attention of the other students. He froze in the middle of his victory dance and turned his head towards me, eyes accusing and angry. He hopped down and stood on the seat. He harshly poked me in the chest accusingly. "Who hired you? Was it Gaz?"
"No. I don't even know this 'Gaz' you speak of," I said, rubbing the spot he poked.
"Then what? Were you a guinea pig in a radiation experiment? How many times where you dropped on your head as a baby?" My antenna picked up footsteps behind me. I looked back to see Zim angrily stomping in our direction, rolling up his sleeves.
I turned back to Dib, he was staring at Zim, wearing the same angry grimace. "What do you want, Zim? I'm in the middle of something."
"Zim has no business with you, stink worm. I wish to talk alone with the new filth."
"And what if I don't let you, Zim? What'll you do, spit venomous fluids at me? I was talking to her first!" Zim growled and jumped at Dib, slamming him down onto the stained tile floor. They wrestled, clawing, hitting and cursing at each other.
Ignoring them, I got up and walked to an empty table on the other side of the room.
"Hey, new chick." I looked up to see a tall purple-haired girl standing at the end of the table, hands on hips. "You're in my seat."
"It doesn't have your name on it."
She cracked her knuckles and a crowd started to form around her. "Get…out…of…my…SEAT!" She sent a fist my way and I stopped it with my hand before it could make contact with my face. With a growl, she recoiled and swung again. This time, I caught it, and didn't let go. There were murmurs in the crowd as I stood up to face my opponent.
"I was here first." On that note, I twisted her arm into an un-natural position until she followed, grunting in pain. I whispered in her ear, "I suggest you find your own seat…and never mess with me again, got it?" I released her hand and she weaved through the crowd, brimming with rage.
"Wow…," one boy said, amazed. "No one has ever beaten Gaz in a fight before!"
The crowd slowly receded as I sat back down, eyeing down their filthy faces. That unrealistically large-headed boy was the only on e left standing in front of me. He was covered in bruises and scratches from his fight with Zim.
"You beat up my sister?" A look of disappointment and fear flickered on and off his face. "How?"
"I was defending myself against her hot-headed stupidity." I looked him in his filthy brown eyes. "Her rage made her weaker than me." Simple. True. "What happened to Zim?"
As if on queue, Zim tackled Dib out of thin air. "Zim isn't finished with you yet, Dib-stink!" Ignoring them, I was out of the cafeteria just before the bell rung.
Around eleven o'clock at night, I was in the middle of working on a doomsday weapon when I was interrupted by the doorbell. I sighed and put down my tools, heading upstairs. "Computer, lock down all entrances to and from the lab…DOOPH!" I groaned and rubbed my head after smashing it full speed into the locked hatch. "After I get out!" The hatch opened quickly and closed behind Giga and I as we made our way to the door, our holographic disguises forming into view.
"Ziff!"
"Yes, Dib?" Giga wound in and around my feet.
"Um…"
"How did you find my house?" Giga hopped out of the house and sat next to Dib, examining him.
"Um…I…uh…" He slapped himself. "I was actually looking for Zim. He ran out here and I figured he was hiding -"
"No, Dib." Giga padded back into the house.
"Oh, ok…are you busy-"
"Yes." I slammed the door in his face and rushed back to my lab. There is no way in hell this boy is going to see my base, or what was lurking inside it.
A/N Ok, once again, hope I haven't gotten rusty, and this chapter is too short for my liking, only 900-some words. :I
