Hey there! Sorry I haven't posted on this for a while, our computer was gone for a week getting fixed. I nearly went
crazy! now here is chapter 3!

chapter 3- Horrible, horrible creatures!

"Are you sure you'll be okay here by yourself?" Jen asked the next morning as she put on her wig. "I can miss one day of skool."

"I'll be fine!" The Irken Dib replied for about the hundredth time. He was sitting at the peninsula countertop eating scrambled eggs and toast. Jen could still hardly believe this was real. "Besides, I have Cat and Gir here."

"That's kinda what I was afraid of." Jen murmured to herself, looking worriedly at the two little robots sitting on either side of Dib and shoving eggs in their mouths.

"Besides, I'll need someone to get my homework for me. If you miss then neither of us will know what's going on," he told her. Jen still didn't look convinced. He sighed at her lack of confidence in him. "I'll be fine."

"If you're sure..." Jen let the sentence dangle, hoping he would change his mind. She would be a nervous wreck all day.

"I am. Now go!" Dib insisted. He tried to keep his face stern as he pointed one green finger toward the living room, but a bit of a grin broke through.

"Geeze! I can take a hint!" Jen exclaimed throwing her arms in the air. "I'm obviously not wanted here!" She stomped off to the kitchen door in mock anger. "I'm leaving now! Bye!"

"Bye!" Dib and the two S.I.R.s called back. As soon as they heard the door shut Cat and Gir jumped off their stools and ran into the living room, screaming happily.

Dib watched them go then turned back to his plate, trying to decide what he would do on his day off. Of course, the first thing that came to his mind was going down to the lab and trying to find a way to become human again. But that wouldn't work. He didn't know how to use half of the stuff down there.

"Maybe I'll go for a walk. Just to relax a little." He said to himself, temporarily forgetting his current condition. He looked down at his plate and caught a glimpse of his hand out the corner of his eye. "Or maybe I'll stay here...in the house... away from any windows..."

Dib jumped down from the stool and walked slowly into the living room. Cat and Gir were sitting side-by-side on the couch. The TV was on and set to 'Blue's Clues'. They were both screaming at the TV, pointing out a blue paw print. When Steve didn't find it right away, Cat got mad and ran up to the screen. He began pounding on he paw print with his fist, his eyes turned red and he screamed in annoyance. Gir started throwing bits of popcorn at the TV from a bowl on the coffee table.

"IT'S RIGHT THERE! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cat screamed. He fell over backward and narrowly missed the coffee table. He then just sat there, staring angrily at the man on the screen.

"Oh! Here it is!" Steve said. Cat's eyes returned to purple and he and Gir smiled.

"Yaayyyyyyyyyy!" They cried.

"Hey, is there anything else on?" Dib asked as he sat down on the couch. Cat returned to his spot in the middle. Gir picked up the black remote and click the change button. The next channel showed a sick looking monkey. Gir gasped happily.

"Anything else?" Dib asked. Gir wilted a little, but switched it again, a little reluctant to miss his favorite show. The channel switched from 'The Scary Monkey' to 'Rolie Polie Olie'.

"Next." Dib said quickly. A big purple dinosaur filled the screen. "Oh no!" Dib moaned. His brown Irken eyes growing with terror.

"YESSSSSSS!" Cat and Gir replied. Gir opened his head and dropped the remote inside. "BARNEY IS A DINOSAUR..." Cat and Gir sang along.

Dib was about to get up and run out of the house and down the street screaming, thinking an autopsy was the better choice, but the two S.I.R.s jumped on his lap, making escape impossible. Dib looked over the back of the couch at Jen's desktop computer, wishing to get on the internet, listen to Jen's CDs and DROWN OUT THAT
DEMON DINOSAUR!

He sighed. "This is gonna be a long day…"

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The bell, marking the beginning of another doom filled skool day, rang. Jen sat in her desk behind Zim's.

Or, where Zim was supposed to be. She looked from her cousin's empty desk, to Dib's empty desk on the other side of Miss. Bitters' class room.

Half hour into the morning and Zim hadn't shown up yet. Jen was getting scared. Visions of an Irken Dib trapped in a corner of her living room and Zim holding him prisoner there with a device of some sort in hand kept flashing through her mind.

Jen gasped. What if that had been Zim's plan all along? As soon as she was gone and Dib was alone, Zim would go in and finish him off. If that was true, Jen and Dib had fallen right into Zim's trap.

She was about to get up and fake a bad headache, when Zim walked in the door.

"I...AM HERE!" Zim proclaimed. "Terribly sorry I'm late, I had important business to attend to!" He explained loudly to Miss. Bitters. "Important HUMAN business."

Jen sank down in her chair and rolled her eyes. And Zim wondered how Dib had figured him out?

"Zim, no one cares. Now sit down!" Miss. Bitters barked. When he had done this, she turned to the class. "Now turn to page 10,514. We will be discussing ancient Egyptian torture devices." She began reading the chapter out load and drawing extremely detailed diagrams on the chalk board.

"Why were you late, Zimmy?" Jen hissed in a whisper, leaning over her desk till she was right by the side of his head.

"I had things to do, Jen." He whispered back, putting annoyed emphasis on her name and not looking at her.

"What kind of things?" She demanded.

"Nothing that concerns you." He shot back.

"Really?" Jen replied in a skeptical tone. She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. Zim turned around to face her.

"Look, if you're worried about your precious human, I didn't do anything to him." Zim hissed getting annoyed with her. Jen glared back at him.

"I'm not worried about my 'precious human'." She whispered, getting mad. She leaned over her desk and lowered her voice again and growled, "He's not exactly human anymore, now is he?"

To Jen's surprise Zim began laughing.

Every head in the class room turned to look at Zim. He was laughing like a maniac. Jen was suddenly much more worried about Dib's safety. And Zim's sanity.

"ZIM! Do you find something funny about man eating scarabs?" Miss. Bitters demanded, glaring at him from behind her tiny glasses. But Zim wouldn't stop laughing.

"Miss. Bitters!" The girl who sat behind Jen raised her hand.

"Yes Zita?"

"Zim's scaring me, may I run out of the room screaming?" Zita asked.

"Yes you may." Miss. Bitters answered. Zita got up and ran out the door screaming hysterically. Zim continued laughing.

After Zita's screams faded off down the hall, the freaky teacher turned back to her class.

"Anyone else?"

Jen raised her hand along with Melvin, Sarah and three others. "Go ahead." Miss. Bitters nodded, motioning to the door.

Jen ran. She ran out of the class room and down the hall as fast as she could. She narrowly missed a collision with Gaz as she ran out the main door of the skool. She didn't even slow down when she stepped in a patch of slushy snow. She hardly felt the burning.

She was too afraid of what she would find at home.

Back on the front step of the skool, Gaz stood by the door, watching her run.

"DIB? DIB!" Jen screamed, terrified, as she ran in the front door. She was now sure she was going to find him dead. It didn't help that the only sound that greeted her was a faint buzz from the TV which had been set on soft mute. Jen ran past the TV and began searching the house for Dib. Every so often she'd call out his name but every time she
was answered by silence.

She was about to run upstairs, but as she ran through the kitchen she spotted two black antennae sticking up over the black marble of the peninsula counter top. Jen was up three steps before her brain processed that info.

"Dib!" She exclaimed. She spun around and jumped down the steps. She extended her spider legs out of her Pak to push herself up onto the counter instead of taking the slow way around. Jen crouched on the counter and looked down to find Dib sitting on the floor, hugging his knees. "Dib? Are you okay?" She asked.

Dib didn't seem to notice her presence. His brown eyes kept staring strait ahead and his whole body was trembling.

"Dib? Are you okay?" Jen repeated, now more frightened. Nothing. "Did Zim do something to you?" She demanded, her eyes narrowing to two slits of white with blue from her contacts. But Dib shook his head and Jen's eyes flew back open in surprise.

"Then what's wrong? Why are you so scared?"

"St-st-strange...HORRIBLE creatures!" Dib replied shakily, still staring straight at the wall across from him.

"R-r-red, yellow, gr-green and..." He shuttered. "The purple one! The horrible purple one!"

"Purple one?" Jen gasped. "And Red?" The Almighty Tallest couldn't have been there. Could have they?

"And yellow! And green!" Dib repeated. "Doing...the same things...over and over and over and over! And then...pictures! Picture come out of their stomachs!" Jen stared down at him as if he had gone crazy. Then, suddenly, it dawned on her what he was talking about.

Jen burst out laughing.

Dib finally looked up at her, as if SHE had gone crazy. "What?" He asked.

"I'm sorry!" Jen apologized between peels of laughter. "You just looked so funny!" Then after she stopped laughing and jumped down from the counter. "Don't worry, hopefully you won't have to watch 'Teletubbies' or anything like that any time soon." She held out a hand and helped Dib to his feet. "Now com'on. We've got some computers to hack into!"

This chapter really could have been shorter. The only important thing that happened was Jen nearly running into Gaz. Foreshadowing. The rest was mostly just for comedy. Also, I despise my ending notes for most of these chapters. They're entertaining to read again, but not sure why I had to be so crazy sounding all the time.
