1 Chapter two: More Like a Friend Than a Sitter

"Tell me about the fire." Dib said as Teresa set her backpack on the bed.

"Well I don't remember much." Teresa admitted taking off her trench coat to reveal a shoulder balade with a nymph tatooed on it. "Just that I was on fire, then it all went black, then I was relieved to find myself alive on the sidewalk. Sleepy Sweets was burned to the ground."

"Oh."

"Tell me a little about yourself." Teresa said after a long silence.

"Well my life is deticated to parinormal studies. One day I'll be a famous Parinormal Investigator and Zim's guts will be strewn acr…"

"Who's Zim?" Teresa interrupted.

"Zim's an alien who goes to my skool. He wants to take over the world but I stop him at every turn."

"You believe in aliens?" Teresa asked. "Wow, I'm starting to think I've somehow became a Mary-Sue since I took this job."

"Aliens, Bigfoot, nosveratouse, I believe in a lot."

"Do you watch "Mysterious Mysteries"? It's my fav show of all time."

"Yes!" Dib nearly jumped with joy. "There isn't an eppisode I havn't missed.

"Same here." Teresa ran her tongering over her teeth thoughtfully. "Did you see the one on Chickenfoot? I mean can you get any lamer?"

"I know. I was the one who proved he was a fake you know." Dib bosted.

"I saw the one with you, Gaz, Zim and this other lady on it. That was no lady. I mean even though they bleeped the face that was obviously a robot body. What was Zim thinking saying that walkie-talkie was his medication anyway? I can't believe he actually swallowed it. And those actors… man… did they stink!"

"I know everything about Zim. I can easily prove he is an alien to anyone. Hardly anybody actually wants to belevive that there is aliens though, they just want to believe we're the surperior species and that nothing else exists."

"Well as much as I'd love to sit and talk about one of my favorite subjects all night, dinner is not gonna make itself."
