The bus was old, to say the least. The yellow color was now fading to a pasty pale, and it shook like crazy while it merrily, or so, made it's way along the street.
Dib was sat at the back of the bus, staring out at the city. New buildings, motels and apartments had sprung up here and there, and there seemed to be less and less woodlands around at all. Where the park once was, now stood a small shop.
He sighed heavily, then felt someone sit down besides him. He turned his head, and sat besides him was Cten.
"Pathetic human scum stole my seat." She muttered, not waiting for Dib to ask her why she was sat here. He glanced forward, and sure enough Torque, now bigger muscle wise was now sat besides Zim, who looked pretty annoyed.
"Oh." Dib replied, looking down at the ground.
"...what's wrong with you today, Dib? You haven't done your daily speech about finding me and Zim out for being alien slime." Cten was looking at Dib, a slight worried look on her face. Dib glanced at her, then back at the oh so interesting ground.
"I don't feel like it." He replied. Cten smiled slightly,
"Oh well that's good. It does get a bit repetitive. Me and Zim know the whole thing by heart now." Cten leaned back, bringing her foot up onto the seat as well, and adjusted her blue bracelet that hung around it.
"I'll bet." Dib replied, feeling a warmness spread across his face, since it just dawned on him a girl, alien or not, was now sitting besides him and something told him he had always sat by himself.
"So you have your project done for English yet?" Cten dropped her foot and looked at him again, grinning at the gold earring that hung from his left ear.
"Uhh... what is it again?" Dib's mind was a blank, and he quickly put his hand up to cover his ear ring. Damn Gaz forcing him to getting one. Course, his Dad never noticed.
"Creative literacy, remember? You rambled on all day about writing about me and Zim, hoping people would point out the things you observed, and thus reveal us as aliens." She paused to giggle slightly, "Then Zim punched you in the guts."
Dib blinked and looked at Zim, who was now turned in his seat and glaring at Dib. Dib returned the glare, but Zim didn't move. Cten then glanced at Zim, smirked and turned to Dib.
"He doesn't like me interacting with the enemy." Cten replied, then, to the surprise of Dib and Zim, she brushed some of his jet black hair out of his bespectacled eyes, "But I like ya." She said quietly.
"Dyah..." Dib could only say in response, then Cten looked somewhat surprised.
"Dib, you're leaking by your nose again." She observed, Dib put his hand to his nose to find blood dripping down.
"Dah!" Dib yipped slightly, and pulled a tissue from his utility belt that slung around him, and put the tissue to his nose.
"That's been happening a lot lately..." Cten said, more to herself then Dib. Then the bus came to a halt, sending most students tumbling from their seats. Zim was pretty much crushed by Torque as it happened.
"All right you little brats, get off! Next stop is the Elementary." The crabby bus driver screamed back at the students. The Hi Skool students got to their feet, collected their bags and scrambled off, in fear the bus might explode any minute. Dib waved to Gaz, but Gaz paid him no heed as usual.

"Hmm.. Zim... Zim... Zim..." Zim was stood at a board that had the names of students, and which pile of papers on a desk near by to take, for the papers would explain their time table for the new semester. Some classes had been change, but English remained the same. He had some difficulty finding his name, oddly enough.
Cten then arrived and stood besides him, and began searching for her name.
"Oh so you decided to give me the pleasure of your company..?" Zim asked, glancing at Cten before returning for the search for his name.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Cten asked, not bothering to look at him.
"You sat with Dib. That's what I mean." Zim snapped back.
"Oh come off it Zim. Torque took my seat while I was looking through my bag for my watch, and it was the only seat left." Cten replied, slightly annoyed at how Zim believed he owned her.
"We can't risk you interacting with the enemy at all Cten. If it happens again, remain standing somewhere far from the jerk." Zim replied, finally finding his name and grabbing the right time table.
"Get over it already Zim..." Cten replied, "He isn't as bad as you say he is, at least not to me."
"That's a TRICK! Don't you see? He's trying to befriend YOU, then he'll be open to all of our secrets, our plans, our ways of life! Do you WANT to jeopardize our mission or something!?" Zim had now turned to her, and was yelling at the top of his would-be lungs.
"I'd never do THAT! You know that you... you... Bronks beartha!" Cten snapped back, and Zim looked very taken back. This was obviously a very rude insult to an Irk. Zim just glared at her, and stormed past her, calling back as he did.
"Fine! Befriend the enemy and see if I care! I'll kill you both then!" and with that, Zim was gone.
Guilt slammed into Cten like a death ray. Now she felt bad, Zim was her best friend on this planet, and here she just insulted him. A frown crossed her face, because Zim was being a bit over-protective of her. She was her own Irk, and she was capable of taking care of herself!
"Uh... Cten?"
Cten snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of her name, she turned and found Dib standing near the table.
"...yeah?" she asked, smiling slightly at the tissues stuffed in his nose.
"Sorry about that." Dib replied, "I know how important Zim is to you `n all that."
"Not your fault Dib... it's mine for not.. uh, I mean... course it's your fault!" Cten snapped out of almost giving Dib some information. Dib frowned slightly,
"Oh yeah, blame the human!" Dib replied angrily.
"Of course I do!" Cten found her name, grabbed her paper and stormed away from him.
Dib stood there for a while, now why didn't he feel accomplished what with annoying the enemy? Somehow he felt sorry for Cten's predicament, but somehow also glad the alien was alone.
"...confound the alien mind mixing!" Dib screeched, franticly searching for his name. He knew he'd be alone this entire year, even at lunch time. Gaz was in her last year of Elementary, so he'd be left to his lone self this entire year of Hi Skool. It wasn't going to be pretty, he knew that.

Short chapter, yes I know. Sorry! Anyway, here's another image, from the first chapter. Dib REALLY likes the color red. ^_^
