I looked around the table, and took a quick head count. "Nope, still missing a few," I muttered. I went back into the kitchen and grabbed a plate of snacks. You know, crackers, cheese, pepperoni, the usual. I lugged a huge, 20-gallon container of applesauce out, and stuck it on my chair.

"Whazzat for?" Red asked. No, he demanded.

"Trust me, you don't wanna know."(A/N: Confused? read my story, Zim gets high. Then you'll probably be even more confused, but do it anyway! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!) That was Dib. He always answers stuff like that. Stuff that any idiot should know. Anyway...

KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK! "ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, I'M COMIN!" I shouted. People on this planet are so impatient. I flung open the door. A semi-short Irken was standing there, his arm resting on his S.I.R.'s head. "Yo, Mephisto! I see you brought Jesse. Ya, both gonna play?" Mephisto pushed passed me, and Jesse hugged my shins before following his master.

"Na," he replied. "Only I'm gonna play. Jesse is keeping my coffee warm. You're computer can't brew coffee for beans."

"Oh, like your's does any better? Yeah, that's what I thought. Take a chair. I'm still waitin' fer people." (A/N: Mephisto is me friend Connor, and Jesse is my friend Jesse. A guy Jesse that is.)

just as I turned around to get more cheese from the kitchen, Gir had already inhaled it all, I heard another knock on the door.

I run to it, and yank it open. Standing there are: a 15 year old girl with brown hair, a denim trenchcoat, and red shirt with the words, "I'm not stupid, I'm advanced," on it, a girl with a black trenchcoat, brown hair with red highlights, black ripped shorts, and a purple shirt, a girl with a brown leather trenchcoat, black shirt and pants, dirty blonde hair, and two tone eyes, another girl, this one 18 yrs old, with blonde hair, and oval glasses, and lastly, an insane, physchopathic, and just downright scary looking girl?.

"hi Aliet, Kat, Shibby, KidK, and Shadow of Night! Didja come ta play poker?"
"Yes!" "Yup!" "You bet" "No con uno doubt-o!" "Why else would I be here?" "I don't know, Shadow, can I call you Shadow? Maybe to play that game of Pictionary scheduled for next week? Anyway, lemme get you all seats." I put Aliet next to Purple and Shadow next to Red. KidK went on the side of Zim where Gir wasn't, and Kat went between me and Mephisto. I looked around the table one last time. I was still expecting people, but lckily they haven't arrived yet. "I'll be right back," I told the pokerees.

I skipped out on to the sidewalk, and down to the local 24-7 mart. I needed Shirley Temple drink...stuff, and a couple hundred Cherry Doom and Chocolate-Bubble Gum brainfreezies. Then, who should I run into an I walked into the Brainfreezy-mart, then good 'ol Jhonen, my personal tallest, (since I am taller than the tallest anyway. Boy, that was hard for them to swallow. Hee hee!)

"Hiiiiiiya Jhonen," I screeched hyperly. He looked at me, and raised an eyebrow. "Doyawannacomeovertomyplaceandplaypokerwithsomeofyourcreationsandotherinsanepeople?" I asked in one breath. "The prize is a 78 Corvette, almost brand new."

"Um, ok." He looked dazed. I grabbed my stuff, loaded it magically into one bag, grabbed Jhonen by the wrist, and pulled him into my house, all in about ten seconds. "You sit here." I pushed him into the seat next to mine, and just as I was about to sit down, I heard the dreaded sound.

KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK...


That's all for now folks! Sorry, but for the sake of my (in)sanity I can only take 6 or seven more people. First six or seven to sign up with a description of themselves get to play poker with Me, and Jhonen and the rest of the gang. Disclaimer: I own nothing! NOTHING! Not even the black, flame painted '78 Corvette which I so ardently desire. Anyway, this is Invader ZaiFae signing off.
And remember swimming is not a sport, it is a way to keep from drowning.
