Chapter Two - New Student, Old Friend
"Master, what are we doing here so late at night?"
"Quiet, Kir." Miz grabbed her robot in one arm and carefully crept through the vehicle holding port. "Aha! Here it is." Opening the cargo hatch to
her ship, Miz slipped into the cockpit. "Okay, Kir. You can talk now."
"Good, And you can answer my question. What ARE we doing?"
" I'M leaving for Earth to find Zim. I don't know where YOU'RE going, though. You didn't have to come along."
"But I wanted to. I like you."
"Aw, Kir..." Miz smiled. "That's very sweet. I like you too. Okay, let's see here..." Miz overlooked the control panel. "Okay, let's go nice and slow..."
Miz drove her ship out of the station and into space. "A little more...we're almost out of Irken tracking range..."
Kir frowned. "But what if we get caught?"
Miz leaned back in her seat and smiled. "We won't get caught, cuz we're out of their range!" She sat there still for a while before she grew a bit
annoyed. "This thing is too slow. Get ready, Kir! I'm putting her into warp drive!!"
"Oh, hold on masteeeerrrrrrrRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
Several weeks later they arrived on Earth and established a home base.
On Earth
Zim shuddered as he walked into skool on Monday. "What's the point of going to this 'skool' anyway? It's only the same stuff that we learned the
day before!!" Sighing in defeat as the bell rang, Zim took his seat, ignoring the looks he got fom Dib.
The door opened just then, but no one could see who it was. Miss Bitters looked into the hallway and scowled. "Oh, it's you. Well, don't just stand
there, GET IN HERE!! Class, we have a new student..."
Zim cackled under his breath. "Another slimy, dusgusting human to conquer. I wonder what this one will be like..." A shadow appeared on the floor,
and it slowly came closer as a girl appeared...but nout just any girl. Zim took one look at her and his jaw dropped. ",,,Miz?
Yes, it was Miz - in a disguise, of course. She was wearing contacts that made her eyes look like green ovals, and her black wig bobbed neatly
above her shoulders. All in all, Zim thought, she looked kinda...pretty.
Dib took one glance at Miz and jumped onto his deck, pointing and screaming. " It's another alien! Now there are two of them! Soon, ther will be
more coming, I tell you!!!
Everyone stared at Dib calmly, as if they were used to him acting like this, which was nothing shorter than the truth. He groaned. "Look at her! She
has no ears and green skin, just like Zim!!"
"Uh, Zim has a SKIN CONDITION, you moron," one of the classmates reminded Dib.
Dib walked over to Miz, who was standing at the front of the room. "So, what's your explanation?!?!"
Miz smiled sweetly and said, "Never use a sunless tanner."
The class seemed satisfied with her answer and went back to their work. Miss Bitters frowned at Dib. "Dib, go to your seat. Wr're all doomed,
anyhow. Doomed, doomed, doomed..."
Miz was given a seat toward the back of the room. She passed by Zim's desk on the way. He looked at her, confused. Smiling, she pressed a
piece of paper into his hand and walked to her seat.
Zim stared at the crumpled wad for a while and finally decided to read it. It said, "Meet me by the tree later." Zim turned around to look at Miz but
she was involved in her work. He turned around and read the note a few more times before asking, "What does she mean by THAT?!"
