^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

It was Saturday, the night before Lake Compounce. But something was wrong in
Anastasia's home...

Anastasia and her father were in a fight. A serious one. Because of their
differences, an argument between these two were very hard to stop.

**flashback**
"Stop being so selfish!"

"_I'M being selfish? Young Lady who do you think you are!?"

"All I want to know is what I did wrong! I did nothing wrong!!!"

"Stop yelling, Anastasia, I mean it."

"Yelling!? I'm not yelling! NOW I'M YELLING!!!!!"

"THATS IT! I've had it up to hear with you and your attitude! GET OUT!"
**end flashback**

Anastasia cried has she ran down the street. "What did I even do??" Anastasia need to find a
place to go, it was raining heavy, and she was scared, and slipped in a puddle of water,
Anastasia was soaking wet, and her hair was plasterd on her face, looking stringy, tears flowing from her lavender eyes. This wasn't the
first time this had happened, inface, one time she had to sleep in an alley for two nights.
Her father was a headcase, he never hit Anastasia, but she was afriad that one day he might.

Anastasia remebered where Dib lived, she only had two friends. Dib, and Zim. "Zim wouldn't
understand, let alone care.." Anastasia said to herself.

It was late, around 10:00 pm, Dib was in bed, trying to sleep. All of a sudden, he heard a taping
at his window. "Whhaa.." Dib tiredly turned his head around to see a sillouette of a girl at his window.

"WHAA?!"

Dib fell out of his bed in shock, but managed to go to the window. As Dib opened the window, Anastasia
fell limp into a heep of wetness into Dib's arms.

Meanwhile, Zim was in his lab, thinking. "You know...maybe this Birthday..Lake...thingie is a bad idea.."

Zim was pissed at himself. "_ME?_ An Irken Invader having a REAL friendship with a HUMAN? CURSE THEM!"

"Whats so different about this human girl than the others?"

....."KETCHUP"!!

..

"Shutup Gir."

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"Anastasia??"

"Whaa..?"

"Wow...I mean...are you okay?"

"I feel like exploding...but I'm okay."

"What happened??"

Anastasia told her story to Dib, but didn't tell it all. No way would Anastasia tell the whole story.

"He threw you out?"

"Yeah, I know, its sucks big time, but I'll get over it."

Anastasia was now wraped in a towl and siting on Dib's bed, Dib besides her. Her hair was still messy, wet, and stringy, and
still half-way in her face. The purple and black strands mixed together, some overlaping her eyes; which were glassy.
Dib could tell that she wasn't giving him the whole truth, but he figured he had better mind his own
buisness. He was concernced though.

"You can stay here aslong as you need..You can stay in my sister's room, and tomarrow I'll take you home.."

"It isn't too much trouble?"

"Of course not!" Dib said smiling. "Um...you might want to change though.." Dib blushed.
Anastasia blushed aswell. She was in a bare of white jean shorts and a grey tank, both plasterd
to her body. Anastasia instintively covered herslef with the towel.

A long uneasy silence passed between them.

"Well...*ahem* I'll go tell Gaz." Dib threw her a long HUGE T-shirt that had a face on it, like
his shirt.

"Thanks Dib."

Gaz at first was hesitant. But When Anastasia came out, her hair now fully dry and back to its
cool self, Gaz's eyes widen and became as cute as they are when she sees pizza.

"AWESOME HAIR!"

Anastasia smiled. "Thanks.."

"Do you think you can do that to mine??"

"Sure!"

Gaz lead Anastasia to her room and closed the door behinde her.

Dib just sweatdroped, wondering how on earth he could be related to Gaz.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr..."....

"You call me?"

"No Gir..No."

"Ooookaaaaaay..."

Zim was so frustrated. "Thats it...if this _Anastasia_ girl is going to be this much trouble, she
must be terminated..."

.."But could I really do that..?"

Zim narrowed his eyes. "I must..."
