DISCLAIMER:I do not own Invader Zim and I do not own Tonka Trucks either.I feel all sad now!

Chapter 3:Dibby and Air.

(Tense change: I was getting tired of writing the word "I" all the time, so I deiced to change it to third person view instead of first person.)

Dib was feeling happy, his father had let him borrow one of his high- tech cameras and he was off to spy on Zim. He turned around and was about to start down his driveway when he noticed a figure running up it. Upon closer inspection he realized it was a girl, as she had long, black hair, though it was hard to distinguish against the murky gray of the houses behind her. As she grew nearer Dib noticed that she had green skin and was smoking a little, just as Zim did whenever he came in contact with water. Dib watched this newcomer cautiously,

"It might be Zim coming to spy on me with some stupid new disguise," He thought, "Of course, it could be that weirdo robot in a power suit or something."

But his thoughts were drowned out by the strange girls high-pitched voice,

"Hiiiiiiiiiiii!" she squealed, "My name is Li-ummm. I mean, Zix."

She inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, she had almost used her real name, but she had caught herself just in time. It would be much more fun being addressed as "Zix" rather than "Lisa".

Dib was confused, who was this girl? Why was she standing in front of his house, under his umbrella, introducing herself to a complete stranger? It occurred to him that he should introduce himself too, even if this girl was one of Zim's kind (He had realized this by now.) he might be able to get her on his side, she might prove to be a valuable source of information in his quest to destroy Zim.

"Erm. My name is D-"

"Oh, I already know what your name is, it's Dib!"

He was startled, how had she known his name? His confusion must have shown on his face, because she gave him a pained look, and continued talking.

"Don't worry, Dibby, your famous were I come from!"

She started to say something more, but was distracted by a noise behind her. She wheeled around and her gaze was greeted by a small blue ferret with a seam running down its head, as if it had been sewed. It was skipping down the driveway singing the Doom Song and slurping a large glass of Cherry Poop.

"Air!" She said as it reached her, "I totally forgot about you! Where have you been?" The ferret stared up at her with large bugged out eyes.

"I got a large glass o' Poop!" It responded, brandishing its cup and dribbling the red liquid down its front, staining the fur of its chest crimson.

"Okayyy." She suddenly seemed to remember Dib's presence,"Oh, Dib, this is my robot-er, I mean, ferret, Air. Air, this is Dib."

The ferret responded with a loud sucking sound as it tried to slurp up the last of the soda through the straw, Dib was reminded strongly of Zim's green dog thing, what was its name again? Dir? Qir? Oh well, it didn't matter anyway. At this he remembered what he had originally set out to do, and he took out the camera that he had been carrying in his pocket.

"Hey, Zix.Listen I kinda have something I was going to do so, uh.I think I'll just be going, Okay?" Zix looked at the camera in his hand, and a wide grin spread across her face.

"Ohhhh, spying on Zim, right? Can I come with you? Please?" She fluttered her eyelashes, obviously trying to look appealing, but her gesture was interfered by Air jumping on her head and screaming,

"I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!" at the top of his lungs.

"Air! Get off my head!" She grabbed the ferret by its waist and proceeded to pry it off of its place on her head.

"Awwww. But I like it up here."

"Rrrrrrr.Gerrof!"

Dib watched them bickering with amusement, then decided that it couldn't hurt to let Zix come, besides, she couldn't do anything, could she?

"Okay, you can come with me. But you have to be quiet when we get there, okay?"

"Really?! I can come?" She said, looking out from between Air's front legs.

"Mmm-Hmm" Dib nodded, then turned around and began to walk in a northerly direction. "C'mon, it's this way." Zix trotted along close behind him, trying to stay under the umbrella and wrestle Air at the same time, she finally gave up and let him ride on her head, where he started to sing the theme from Blazing Saddles in an extremely loud voice, forcing both Dib and Zix to cover their ears or become deaf.

"Can't you shut that thing up?" Dib yelled over the noise,

"I'm working on it!" Zix yelled back as she tried to tape up Air's mouth with a roll of Duct tape she had found in her Irken packpod, soon the Blazing Saddles theme song had been reduced to a muffled

"He wode a brazing shaddle."and the two were able to walk in relative silence for the remainder of the trip.
