RUBBER PIGGIES AND MADNESS

Chapter 5

Tan's New Friend


The bell rang and the children of Ms Bitters' class once again took their seats miserably. Tan was looking more miserable than ever as she stared over at Meg's empty desk. She sighed. For some reason she had a strong feeling that Zim had something to do with Meg's disappearance. She eyed Zim suspiciously all day, giving him all kinds of stares, looks, and glares.
The look on Zim's face confused Dib a bit when he too went to throw him a death glare. Zim's face had a look of shock on it from the fact that the NEW girl was giving him death glares that sent shivers down his spine. Had she found out too that he was an alien? Dib probably brainwashed her into believing him, because she was new and didn't know that the other children thought that Dib was a freak because of his alien obsession.

At lunchtime, Tan strolled up to Zim and deliberately collided with him, spilling her lunch all over his clothes. Zim glared at her and shoved her to the right, angrily yelling at the top of his voice at her.
'How dare you human worm-baby touch me with your disgusting human slop!!'
Zim noticed at this point that the girl had an evil smile on her face that reminded him of Dib. Meanwhile, Dib had moved into a better position so that he could see everything that was happening during this commotion.
Just as he got a perfect view, Tan violently swung her clenched fist back and punched Zim in the stomach with all her might. Zim groaned and doubled over in pain. Tan crouched down to his level and whispered something to him, which no one else was able to hear. Then she suddenly stood up and marched out of the Cafeteria.
Dib jumped up and ran after her, calling out for her to stop.
Tan was only just coming to terms with what she had done; she knew that if Meg found out, she would NOT be happy. Tan realised that it was something that she would not normally do, and as she walked along, she heard someone calling out for her to stop. She turned to see who the voice belonged to, and she saw Dib running breathlessly towards her.
'Hey, what's-your-name! Stop for a minute!' Dib called out.
'My name is Tan,' she said hoarsely.
'Okay, Tan. Umm, where was your friend today?' questioned Dib with innocence.
Tan tensed up and turned away. 'Her name is Meg and she's missing.'
'Okay. Sorry,' said Dib. 'But is that what the commotion was about? Do you think that Zim had something to do with Meg's disappearance?'
Tan sighed. 'Yes, I do.'
Dib paused for a moment. 'You DO know that Zim's an alien, right?' he asked, thinking that she would say that he was weird.
Tan looked around to make sure that no one was listening. 'Yes! I know that Zim's an alien.'
Dib suddenly looked surprised that someone else besides him knew that Zim was an alien. 'REALLY?!' he shrieked.
Tan's expression was a little less than impressed. Meg could be in danger, not that she was too worried. After watching every episode of Invader Zim about 6 times over, she knew exactly what Zim was like. Now that two people from this world knew of his true identity, he had an even larger chance of being exposed.
'This is great,' Dib murmured, overwhelmed with happiness. 'Now I have someone else to work with, which means double the chance of exposing Zim!'
The thought made a smile creep it's way across Tan's face. Being a Dib fan, she knew exactly what Dib would say and how he would act to this situation.
'That's really nice, Dib, but my main concern is Meg at the moment,' Tan said, frowning again and folding her arms.
'Hmmm, you're right. Who knows what Zim has done to your friend,' Dib said, deep in thought.
'You do know that I'm not exactly sure that Zim has Meg, right?' asked Tan.
Dib didn't seem to hear her – he was deep in thought of knew ways to expose Zim with his newfound partner in crime . . . .

GirChic: My gears feel like the way they do when they're all rusty, Master. *Frowns, rubbing her metallic tummy*

The Slayer: Well you shouldn't have eaten Mr Pointy. *Looks a bit more than irritated*

GirChic: *Looks a strange greeny-grey colour*

The Slayer: Well why don't you people review this chapter while I take a look at GirChic's gears. *Tugs on some thick black gloves* You don't wanna see that.
Now where'd I put my spanner and screwdriver . . . . . . . .

GirChic: Oooopsies!

The Slayer: Oh nooooooo!!!! Why do you have to eat everything that you see?!?!?!?! Jeez! I need to have a look at your head circuits too! I'll have to borrow someone else's tools . . . . . damn I hate doing that.
