Dib's Cuz Comes to Town!
Chapter 2: The Title of This Chapter Has Nothing to do With the Actual Story
"What's so wrong with him?" Kat asked Dib while she did her homework(a/n: Do the kids at skool even get homework?). "He's just an alien."
"No!" Dib said, thoroughly exasperated. "He's an alien bent on taking over the world! Have nothing to do with him!"
Kat stuck her tongue out at him. He sighed and went back to drawing. Kat blinked and inched closer to him. "Whatcha doin'?" she asked, gazing at the drawing.
Dib sighed again. "If you must know, I'm working on a plan to get rid of Zim."
"Why?"
"We've been over this! Zim wants to take over the world, and I must stop him!"
"Why?"
"Kat, are you doing your annoying Mindy impression?"
"Why?"
"AARRRRRGH!"
Meanwhile, at Zim's fortress…
"WHEEEEEEEEE!" Gir shrieked, running around the house wildly. He finally came to a stop when he crashed into the TV. He lied on the ground for a few seconds, then got up and giggled insanely. "Ooooooh, the Angry Monkey Show!" he said in awe as he observed the TV screen. He immediately went over to the couch, plopped down, and stared at the TV intently.
"…I love this show…"
Suddenly the phone rang. "YAAAAYYY! RINGRING!" Gir shouted, commencing his house run once again.
Zim came up from the lab. "GIR!"
Gir screeched to a stop. "Yes, Master!"
"When did we get a telephone?"
Gir shrugged. "I dunno."
Zim scowled and went to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hiiiiiii!" a voice on the other line said, sounding strangely like Gir.
Zim raised one eyebrow. "Who is this?" he asked suspiciously.
"Kat! You know, Dib's cousin?"
"What do you want, filthy Earth creature?" Zim growled.
"…I dunno. To talk, cause Dib wont talk about anything but destroying you, and it's booooring!" She began rambling on about nothing in particular, the way all blondes do when holding a phone.
Zim promptly hung up. Or at least he tried to, but Gir grabbed the phone and put it up to his ear.
"Hellooooo? Hiiiiii! Byyyyye!" Gir then hung up the phone. "That was fun!"
The next day…
Kat lay asleep on her desk. Mrs. Bitters was talking about how chickens spread disease in the Dark Ages. Finally, the recess bell rang.
Kat woke up with a jolt. "AAAAAHH! EVIL COOKIE! DIIIIIIEEE!" she screamed.
"KAT!" Dib smacked her in the back of the head. "Snap out of it! Today we defeat Zim!" He grinned evilly.
Outside, Zim was once again being beaned with dodgeballs. He decided to get a clue and sit over in the shadows while he schemed of another plan to overtake Earth.
Hmmmm…So Ultra-Peepi didn't work, Zim thought. What can I do?
Dib picked up a water balloon filled with soapy water.(a/n: ah, it's about time Dib figured it out…wait.)"Zim!" he beckoned. "Catch!"
"Hmm?" Zim said, just before the water balloon exploded against him. He watched the water drip down the front of him. "Dib, when will you learn—Aah! AAH! AAAAAHH!" The soap washed off the paste and Zim's skin began to sizzle.
As he screamed and writhed in agony, Kat decided to turn away from the dodgeball game long enough to notice his pain. She gasped, pulled a sponge out of her all-purpose pocket, and ran over to shove Dib into the brick wall.
"OW!" Dib cried out as his face slammed against the wall. He fell to the ground, temporarily out for the count.
Dib down, Kat turned to the squirming Irken and sopped up the evil liquid.
Zim stopped screaming and opened his eyes. He looked at the concerned girl in awe. "You..you saved me?"
Kat nodded.
"But…why?"
Dib jumped up, blood streaming from his nose. "Yes, Kat! Why? Why did you betray me and the entire human race?!"
Kat shrugged. "Zim was in trouble. I helped him."
The bell rang to go in. The kids ran to get back in skool.
Dib turned to Kat. "I can't believe you and I are related." He gave her one last hate-filled look, then continued on to the classroom.
Kat stood there, confused. "He's just an alien," she muttered.
After skool…
Gir sat on the couch, watching the Angry Monkey Show. Zim sat there too, but his thoughts were not on the scary-looking primate.
He stewed and stewed again, pondering the morning's events.
Finally, he picked up the phone.
Meanwhile, at Dib's house…
Kat also sat, watching the Angry Monkey Show.
"Isn't there anything else on?" she wondered aloud, flipping through the channels. Incidentally, there wasn't.
Dib sat on the other end of the couch with Gaz. He was so mad he couldn't even think of a plan to defeat Zim.
"Dib, would you back off?" Gaz complained. "You're getting in my light. And you're seriously creeping me out by sitting this close to me."
Dib didn't reply.
Suddenly the phone rang. Kat answered, "Hello?"
"…Hi," Zim hesitantly replied.
"Oh, hi!" Kat exclaimed. "What'd you call about?"
Zim drummed his fingers nervously. "Your name's Kat, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, Kat, I was wondering…"
"Yeah?"
"Is that 'friend' spot still open?"
Ooh! Suspense! Zim actually making a true friend with an Earth stink-beast? Veeeery interesting. Even I'm not sure what's gonna happen! And I am NOT a Dib-basher(I actually find him cute ^_~), but I AM on Zim's side. As it says on my bio, I'm SO sorry this came out so late, but my dad was upgrading the computer and whatnot. I'll have the next chapter out soon, and I mean it this time! So, fellow IZ fans, ja matta ne and I'll c u l8r!
