AN: My apologies if this was OOC in some (or most) parts. Of course, I'm not the one who has to read this, so I'll just make you all SUFFER! Muahahahahahahaha! *cough* Oke, and I think I'll do one more chapter after this one. Two at the most.
Chapter 4:
"Hey, Earth-Monkey, could you slow down?" Zim asked Dib, half out of breath from trying to catch up with him.
"Monkey!" Gir shouted gleefully. "Where'za monkey?!"
"Right in front of us, Gir. Heh heh," Zim responded, smiling smugly.
"Yay, Monkey Dib!" Gir shouted again. [AN: I was definitely OD-ing on Oingo Boingo at this point. That happens to me sometimes.]
Once again, Dib ignored these monkey comments. "But I don't wanna waste any time! You never know where the ghosts might be." They reached the third floor, and Dib pointed to the first door he saw. "Let's try that one."

"Uh...Dalva? You can get up now," Jhonen said impatiently.
"Shh! I'm meditating," Dalva replied. She was sitting in the cemetery on the ground, perfectly still with her eyes closed for a few minuets before the interruption.
"Yeeeah, we see that. Now let's go, we're wasting time," Nny insisted.
Dalva sighed. "Fine. I think it's been about 45 minutes since we left anyway. We should head back."
"Jeez, and I thought *I* had weird quirks," Jhonen muttered as they walked back to the open window.

Zim watched as Dib scurried around the room into which they had gone. "Er, Dib...I don't think you're gonna find any of these 'ghosts' here."
"Nonsense!" Dib replied. "There's bound to be a..." He was interrupted by a ghostly, somewhat annoying voice, making a sort of "Zooooooooo!" sound.
"Wow!" exclaimed Dib. "I think it's...!"
"I is Da Spooky Noodle Ghost!" Spooky Noodle Ghost announced. Dib picked up his ectoplasmic photography camera and gave it quite a workout. The Noodle continued. "Someone took me cantaloupe! Whyyy?! I NEEDS me cantaloupe!"
"Gir! Gir, are you getting any information from this?" Zim asked.
Gir ignored Zim. "Da Noodle!" he squealed. "I know where the cantaloupe is!" Gir opened up his head and pulled out Spooky Noodle Ghost's ex-head.
Noodle Ghost snatched it back. "Many pink trees to you, Cinnamon Stick!" he told Gir.
Dib stopped his picture-taking frenzy and put the camera down. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Peas!" Gir responded to Noodle Ghost.
"Or broccoli?" questioned the Noodle-thing.
"No, the dogs!" Gir added. [AN: *sings* Whe-en the dogs do find her, got time time to wait for tomorrooooooooooooooooow! To find it, to find it, to find it... Yeah, like you didn't expect that.]
"It seems this Spooky Noodle Ghost and Gir speak the same, uh, dialect...thingy," Zim observed.
"Yes, dogs indeed," the Noodle replied to Gir.
"Yup. Byeee!" Gir said, waving. The ghost disappeared.
Zim and Dib stared at nothing in particular. Gir turned and gave them an idiotic smile, accompanied by a cooing noise. "Uh...yeah," Zim said. "Let's go back to meet the others. It's been about an hour."
~Things we've learned from this chapter~
If you read my fic "Respect", you'll recall that Happy Noodle Boy said "antelope" at the end of his speech. Well, I heard him wrong. He actually said "cantaloupe". The herd of antelope that showed up was purely coincidental. Either that or they too misunderstood him. Also, you might remember that HNB died, and a dog took off with his head. Gir was that dog. It seems he was the only one who really heard what the Noodle said. You'll also note that I can't write a good story with an actual plot to save my life :^)
