CryingChild: AlrightySitey! I got some spare time, and some soy rolls, so I'll do the next chapter now. Yes I said soy rolls, what? Stop staring at me like that! Stop it!! Mom, the people from ff.net are staring at me again!
CryingChild's Mom: What's ff.net?
CryingChild: Um... nothing. (My parents don't know about my ff.net account... long story. Actually, it's just because I don't want them finding out about my JtHM comics, they'd make me throw them out!!! Noooooo! (If you haven't guessed by now, soy rolls have a LOT of sugar in them!!! And, as you can tell by the layout of the Author's notes, I've been reading too many of The Slayer's fics, they are all good I command you all to read them now!!!! Why are you not reading them now??? Do not dare defy my whims!!!!))Also read Ztarlight's fics, for this is her chapter and they are also veddy veddy good!
RIR: You're just saying that 'cuz she wrote that Chanukka fic, aren't you?
CryingChild: Well... partly ^_^ But dey is still goooood.:c)

Ztarlight (or Ztar) looked around the room with awe. Zim had already retreated to his 'normal human basement' to do 'perfectly normal not at all doom-related things' and she was taking in every tiny detail of her surroundings. The tiny SIR unit sat ignored, enraptured by the almost motionless monkey that filled the screen. To be sure, Ztar loved GIR at least as much as the next IZ fan, but she had basked in his hyper glow all afternoon, and now that Zim was home... she shuddered with happiness.
She paced around the room, restlessly, pausing at specific objects. There, there was the couch Zim had watched the movie from 'Germs' on. And there was the empty bookcase that Zim crashed into in 'Rise of the Zitboy'. And *there*, in the kitchen was the toilet that led into Zim's lab. Ztar rested her elbows on the toilet's rim, and looked down into it. She *could* go down. She could flush herself down into Zim's lab, while he was in it, revealing to him that she knew he was an alien, *without* him knowing that she ment him no harm. She could also bang herself in the head with rocks. No, for the time being, she'd play dumb. It was so much more fun that way anyway. He was just so *kyute* when he tried to blend in! As she was about to turn around, she heard Zim's voice behind her.
"What are you doing?" he asked suspiciously. /Oh, okay,/ she thought, /C'mon Ztar, think of something, say anything./ "Checking for leeches." she said. /Well, that *would* fall under 'anything', I suppose./ "Ah yes," Zim said, "I am well aware of this 'leeches', I have had a great deal of experiance with it. Oh, the leeches stories I could tell you, my oh my." He then threw back his head and laughed. Ztar laughed with him. Zim paused, and cleared his throat. "Yes, well, I now have to leave and do very human things that have nothing at all to do with world conquest. So you have to leave." "Okay..." Ztar said, dejectedly, then her eyes lit up. "I have to do very human things too, I'll come with you!" Zim looked around nervously. "Well, erm, I'm taking a different route than you are." "What route are you taking?" Ztar persited. "A different one than yours." said Zim. "Perfect!" said Ztar, "That's the same one I'm taking!"
-----Later, several blocks away-----
"I told you, no!" Zim shouted. His head was turned to face Ztar, and he didn't see the kid in front of him, and the two collided. Which was a shame because, naturally, the person he collided with was... "Dib." Zim spat. "Zim." Dib replied with equal malice in his voice. Then he noticed the strange girl behind him, who was grinning madly. "Another 'bestest friend' Zim?" he asked, condesendingly. He turned to the grinning girl, whose face was now reddning with supressed laughter. "Don't trust him!" he said, "He'll take out your eyes and make squirrels attack you!" This threw Ztar into a coughing fit. She doubled over, half choking on her own laughter. Dib frowned "Why does everyone do that when I talk to them?" he asked of no one. As Ztar struggled to compose herself, Zim glared at Dib. "What busness is it of *yours* who she is, *Dib*?" he asked. "It just so happens that.. um..." "Ztarlight." Ztar whispered in his ea- into the side of his head. "That Ztarlight here is.. um..." "Your cousin." Ztar whispered. "My cousin. WHAT???" Zim cried. "WHAT???" Dib cried. "What?" Ztar asked, innocently.
"Look I don't know what he told you" Dib said, glaring at Zim, "But don't listen to him! He's an aliiiiien! I mean, he's *green* for crying out loud!!" "I know." Ztar said calmly. Dib and Zim both gaped at her. "What??" They exclaimed at once, then glared at each other as they relized they had said something in unison. "Sure," Ztar continued, "He's an alien, I'm a leprucan, and he's-" she pointed to someone walking by, "-the Creature from the Black Lagoon." Dib glared at her. Zim, who had never heard sarcasam before (A/N: Hi Irken Insane!!!) ran in terror from the 'Creature'. Ztar frowned at Zim's retreating figure, then turned to Dib. "Look what you did!" she said angrily. "Me?!?" Dib cried. Ztar turned and stormed off. Dib stared at the spot she had just occupied. "Maybe I just don't understand girls." He said.
------A few MORE blocks away-----
Zim leaned against a building, panting. "Those... leprucans.. won't... get... me" he gasped. He turned and saw Ztar approaching him. (A/N: He was running a mile a minute, she was walking at a comfertable pace, and I'm so insecure I feel the need to point out my own plotholes:c) "Stay away from me, Earth monster!" he cried. Ztar giggled a little. "I was only being sarcastic." she said, "SURELY as a normal human worm baby you knew that and you were only joking." Zim blinked, "Oh, yes, I knew it all along. Hee hee, it was only a" he raised his hands and made finger quotations with them. " 'joke' a normal human joke, I am quite familar with this... 'sarcasam' But just for fun, tell me what it is again?" Ztar snickered, then grinned. "Sure, I'll tell you what it means for fun. In fact, there's lots of stuff I can tell you for fun." Zim grinned, and threw his head back in manical laughter. Ztar joined in, her laughter lasting long after Zim's had ended. /This strange hu-...cyborg may prove useful,/ he thought, /I'll have to keep her around for a while.../ And as if reading his mind, Ztar grinned wider than she ever had before.
