oh my gawd, someone decided to read chapter two! this surpises me so. that last chapter sucked so bad...
I hate Nikia.
The name itself is too evil.
Nikia Nikia Nikia.
Her sister wasn't as bad as her.
I hate them both. Stupid Rochelle, she saved Nikia from the grave!
They both are nearly unstopable, but they don't know me.
They can't match my strength, and Nikia will die trying.
___
Dib looked deep into Nikia's eyes, he loved being alone with her.
He loved her all over, from her beautiful green eyes to her red brown hair. She got even more beautiful in the past five years.
There's so much I want to say Dib thought. but I'd sound like a fool.
"Dib?"
"what is it Nikia?"
"what's happened in the past five years over here?"
"not much" Dib answered
"what about...Zim?"
"huh" Dib seemed baffled to hear the name.
"Zim? the Irken trying to take over the world"
Dib laughed,"get this, he's still trying to take over the world"
Nikia laughed,"that's hilarious"
Dib loved it when Nikia smiled, her smile was so unique, so beautiful...
"anything else about paranormal investigation?"
"um..." Dib paused for a moment,"I quit the swollen eyeballs"
"what?" Nikia was shocked
"I couldn't do it anymore. I thought of you every time" Dib relived the painful memories,"and...I just couldn't take it"
Nikia felt shock, but she didn't say anything, what was there for her to say? Dib was trying to be sincere but...this wasn't the Dib she knew. The Dib she knew wouldn't live under the alien ruling, no matter what.
"I know I sound like a quitter-"
"damn right you sound like a quitter" Nikia cut Dib off,"but I guess I can live with it..."
there was a moment of silence.
"what was your mother like?" Nikia asked
"I never really got to meet her"
"do you ever wonder what she was like?"
"only when I'm not thinking about you" Dib said.
"that's sweet" Nikia said, then she looked at her watch,"aw, geeze, I promised Max I'd be home ten minutes ago"
"oh, I guess I'll see you later then" Dib said
"yeah, I'll call you" Nikia said good bye to Dib, and then left.
Dib really wondered about Nikia...did she still like him?
Dib walked into the kitchen where Gaz and her friend were playing cards.
"hey" Dib said, he grabbed a soda and opened it,"who's your friend"
Gaz rolled her eyes,"this is Rita, you've met her before"
Rita smiled shyly,"hi"
Dib looked at Rita, she had brown hair and blue eyes. Her eyes themselves were very pretty, they seemed to sparkle in a way Dib couldn't put a finger on, her hair was bouncy and shiny, it made her very beautiful. She was wearing a red shirt with blue jeans and she had a silver star necklace on. Her boots were long and black with a silver button at the top. She was very pretty.
snap out of it! Dib told himself, she's fifteen and you like Nikia.
"hi" Dib returned the greeting and tried not to sound mushy.
Dib returned his attention to something else,"hey, I'm starved, what'd Dad say we're having supper?"
"he's not coming home for supper" Gaz answered
"oh really?" Dib said sarcasticly
Gaz rolled her eyes again,"he said we could have pizza or chinese"
"pizza sounds good" Dib said,"what do you guys want on it?"
"sausage" Gaz said
"pepperoni and green peppers" Rita said
Dib looked at Rita,"you like pepperoni with green peppers too?"
"yeah" Rita said
"cool" Dib smiled at Rita. He shook his head,"I'll go pick one up for us" Dib offered, he grabbed the keys to his car and walked outside
Gaz looked at Rita,"does my brother like you?"
Rita shrugged,"I don't know"
___
Dib tapped his pencil against the table, why couldn't he get this problem?
"Hey Dib" Gaz called
"what?" Dib didn't even look up
"drive me to the mall, I'm meeting some friends there" Gaz demanded
"take the bus" Dib said,"I'm busy"
Gaz looked at Dib's paper,"math huh?" she smirked,"there's this girl at my school who got caught cheating on a math test. She got in a LOT of trouble for that..."
Dib glared at Gaz,"shut up, that's not threatening"
"all right then" Gaz grabbed the phone,"I'll just call up dad and let him know then"
"fine" Dib threw his pencil down,"I'll drive you to the stupid mall!"
Gaz put down the phone,"great let's go" Gaz said impatiently
Dib grabbed his car keys and walked outside with Gaz following.
Dib got in and started up the black car.
Why did I have to cheat on that stupid math test? Dib asked himself, Gaz is gonna blackmail me until I'm in college!
He tried to focus on the road on the way to the mall, but it was hard.
"thanks for the ride Dib" Gaz said and got out of the car and met her friends.
"oooohhh" Dib heard one of the girls moan.
Dib recognized Rita.
"I've got a huge stomach ache" Rita said,"I better go home...oh, crud, my bus doesn't get here til five"
"I'll drive you" Dib offered for some reason.
"you would" Rita's eyes lit up,"thanks Dib, that's nice of you" Rita got into Dib's car
"see ya tomorrow" Gaz waved and her friends waved good bye
Dib started up the car,"so where do you live?"
"on third street" Rita told him
Dib couldn't concentrate on the road, all he could think about was how pretty Rita looked...
"which house?" Dib asked
"it's by a white house, you'll see it" Rita told him
Dib kept driving.
"here it is" Rita said
Dib stopped the car and realized something, he had driven to the park
"huh?" Dib sounded confused
"it's down this hill" Rita said
Dib followed her, he didn't see any houses, just a creek.
"why are we here?"
Rita just looked into Dib's eyes,"we're alone now" she said in a tempting voice.
"whaddya ya mean?" Dib said, geeze that was stupid! you know what she means
Rita put her arms on Dib, and leaned torwards him.
I like Nikia I like Nikia I like Nikia...
Dib repeated that in his mind, but it didn't help.
Rita's beautiful eyes drew him in and he kissed her. (A/N: AAAGH! kissy scene!!! what the hell do I think I'm doing? a make out scene? this is so ghastly wrong)
"whoa" Dib shook his head,"did I do that?"
"do what?"
"did I kiss you?"
"yeah"
"aw geeze" Dib hit his head,"Nikia's going to kill me"
Rita leaned torwards Dib and kissed him again,"so?"
Dib pushed Rita away,"no, I'm with Nikia, leave me alone"
Before Rita could respond Dib walked up the hill and drove away.
Dib walked inside, there was a message on the machine
please don't be Nikia, please don't be Nikia, PLEASE don't be Nikia...
Dib pressed the button
"Dib, it's me" Nikia said,"I was just calling to see if you were home, but I guess not, so, um, I'll call later...kay, love ya, bye"
Dib realized something, he did love Nikia, and Rita, he was in trouble...BIG trouble...
___
Nikia looked in the mirror. She definetly had the right outfit for a night alone with Dib.
Short black skirt, strapless dark red shirt, black high heels and silver looped earrings.
Perfect. She would take Dib to a club she knew in her town, and then she would show all the annoying kids from her school that she could be with a guy.
Nikia put on her purple jacket, it was cold out.
She got into her car, slid on her sunglasses and started to drive
___
Dib sat at the kitchen table, stupid french class. It's not like he ever wanted to visit France...
There was a knock on the door. Yes! distraction.
He opened the door and it was none other than Rita.
"Rita?" Dib said, confused.
Rita wrapped her arms around Dib,"hi" she grinned.
"go away" Dib tried to be firm.
"no" Rita leaned in and kissed him.
Dib wanted to pull away, but he couldn't...he just couldn't...
He loved it too much, he returned the kiss to her.
___
Nikia straightened her hair, she was glad she could finally have time with Dib.
She walked torwards Dib's house, when she saw Dib in the window. Kissing a girl.
Nikia didn't know what to do...should she walk away? walk in? slap that girl?
She stormed up the porch and angrily rampaged in.
Dib realized Nikia was there, he pulled away from Rita,"N-nikia?"
"yeah, me" Nikia said, she wanted a little revenge,"remember? your girlfriend?"
"ummm...listen...I can explain..."
"no you can't" Nikia said,"because I don't want an excuse Dib, you were cheating on me and that's the fact" She turned to Rita,"and who the hell do you think you are? Dib is MINE! you think you can just waltz in and start making out with him? he's mine!"
Dib didn't know what to say or think, it's true. He was horrible.
"well" Rita said,"tough luck, looks like you're not good enough"
Nikia walked right out the front door, she didn't care for Rita's smart ass attitude and Dib's excuses.
"NIKIA WAIT!" Dib called.
"no" Nikia said
"c'mon!" Dib called,"let me explain-"
"there's nothing for you to say!"
"but she-I-we-"
"that's right Dib! you and her!" Nikia looked strictly at him,"I should have known I couldn't trust you! damn, ya wait five years for a guy and then he cheats on you!" Nikia got into her car.
"I'm sorry Nikia-"
"you should be" Nikia drove back to her hotel, thinking about Dib the whole way.
"I hate him" Nikia said and layed down on her bed. She decided to start packing, she was going to leave soon.
She stuffed her suitcase and then found a note from Max
Hey, went to the movies, be home soon.
Great Nikia thought. Now I have to wait even longer.
She packed a few more things when suddenly she realized there was a black book in her bag.
It was a black leather covered book, with a fancy design on the cover. She opened it.
Dear diary,
Nikia suddenly realized this must be the diary she gave Rochelle for her birthday that year.
Dear diary, ya know how people say that mothers always think their daughters are beautiful? Mine is an exception.
I invited Rosemary, Kina, Treson and Viyol over for my birthday. We just kinda hung out, had some pizza and drank soda.
After they all left my mom musta said 5000 times that they're all 'leaving a bad mark on me'. Geeze, all that crap over Kina's nose ring was ridiculous!
She still probably doesn't know i got my nose pierced five months ago. I wonder if I'll ever tell her.
Nikia couldn't believe it! Her sister had gotten her nose pierced? she had never known that.
Nikia flipped to the back of the book, she read Rochelle's last entry.
Dear diary,
today you wouldn't believe what happened! I was at the club with Shana and Alexis and we were hangin out and having a few drinks when guess who runs by? Nick, duh!!
I was so totally happy, I left Alexis and Shana and then went out back with Nick by this beautiful lake they have. We just sat there holding hands and not saying much.
When suddenly he looks at me and says,'Elle, I really like you a whole lot'
I said,'I do too'
and then he looks at me, straight in the eyes and says,'I feel something more than just love or passion for you, I feel like if you told me I could fly I would jump off a cliff'
and I'm thinkin, woah! this guy seriously likes me! and of course, I can't think of what to say, so I just don't say anything.
'Rochelle' he only calls me that when he's being really serious,'I love you, will you marry me?' then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out these two small boxes and opens them both.
I look at the HUGE diamond ring with a gold band in his left hand, and the ruby ring with a silver band in the other. I felt like he was going to marry me twice.
I wanted to say no, that I was way too young, when I looked at him and realized that he truly loves me and I truly love him. I looked at his eyes. damn his eyes are so cute.
I didn't realize it, but I was crying, it was the first time I had cried in a while. I just looked at him, tears in my eyes, and said,'yes'
He smiled at me, I love his smile, then he said,'which ring do you want?'
I slipped on the ruby ring, and never in my whole life have I ever wanted to kiss him so much. So I did.
Nikia's jaw dropped, her sister had been engaged! Nikia turned the page, yes! another entry.
dear diary,
Nick just called, he said that we'd have the wedding in Honululu. Did I ever tell him I've always wanted to go to Hawaii? I don't think so.
I'm SO happy! I'm going to get eloped!!!! I wonder who'll be my bridesmaid? maybe Kina, or Alexis, or Shana, or Rosemary, or Nikia...
They all should be bridesmaids, maybe Jenny could be our flower girl. I remember she was that little girl I met in the orphanage, she was so sweet.
Geeze, what am I thinking? Nick wants some of his relatives in our wedding too!
Yesterday when I was talking to mom I was dying to tell her about me and Nick, but I knew she'd blow her top. I can't believe I'm getting married and not tellin my mom.
I think I'll get lilac bouquets, with lilies pansies, and those one big white flowers. I'm SO excited!!!!!! I'm going to get my dress fitted tomorrow, I just cannot wait.
I love Nick. He just called again, we're going to have it on October 23rd. Nine days. He said,'I can't wait very long, I love you too much to wait a few months' I would have kissed him if we hadn't been on the phone.
Nikia looked at the entry again, why had she never heard of Nick? Why didn't Rochelle tell her she was getting married? Would she really have been a bridesmaid if Rochelle hadn't...
The date at the top of the page read October 14th. Rochelle had been murdered on the 16th. a week before her wedding. Her secret wedding, Nikia just wished she could have one last chance to talk to Rochelle. Just one last chance...
___
Dib looked down to the ground.
I'm an idiot. I cheated on Nikia. I'm an idiot.
It had cost him the love of his life in five seconds.
All he was now was an idiot. An idiot.
Rita wrapped her arms around him, as if nothing had happened. As if she was the only girl in Dib's life.
Dib pushed her away,"who do you think you are?" Dib asked fiercely.
"Rita" She answered in a sweet voice, she leaned forward to kiss him again.
Dib pushed her away again,"no" he told her strongly.
Rita lowered her eyes,"I thought you loved me"
"no" Dib tried to make himself believe,"no, I didn't, we never happened, you're just Gaz's friend, nothing happened between us"
"yes something did" Rita said,"I loved you and you loved me, Nikia came between us"
"NO! you came between me and Nikia, get out, get out of my life, out of my love, out of my freedom, out of-" Dib cut off when Rita held something above his head. Something long, sharp and deadly.
"you loved me, I know you did"
"R-rita" Dib stuttered,"put down the knife"
"I thought maybe a new disguise would help me get your love"
"disguise? what are you talking about?"
"Don't be stupid" Rita said,"I'm Rosette and you know it"
Rosette...no... "no...you can't be, she died...five years ago..." Dib trailed off.
"I didn't die, I made everyone believe I died, so I could start my revenge"
"revenge?"
"Nikia left this town exactly five years ago in one hour. She has only sixty minutes to live and she doesn't know it"
"NO!!" Dib screamed
"yes" Rita/Rosette said evilly,"and now you're mine Dib, all mine"
Dib noticed a watch hanging from Rosette's pocket.
"I can't believe you still care about her, good bye Dib" Rita neared the knife torwards Dib's throat
Dib grabbed the watch with a sudden impulse he rewinded the clocks time five hours and pressed the time set button. He closed his eyes.
Rosette slammed the knife down.
O.o ... wow, what an amazing chapter!!! it sucks!!!!
anyways, gee...what do I have to say. oh yeah, I should be doing my homework. I really should.
I hate Nikia.
The name itself is too evil.
Nikia Nikia Nikia.
Her sister wasn't as bad as her.
I hate them both. Stupid Rochelle, she saved Nikia from the grave!
They both are nearly unstopable, but they don't know me.
They can't match my strength, and Nikia will die trying.

Nikia laughed,"that's hilarious"
Dib loved it when Nikia smiled, her smile was so unique, so beautiful...
"anything else about paranormal investigation?"
"um..." Dib paused for a moment,"I quit the swollen eyeballs"
"what?" Nikia was shocked
"I couldn't do it anymore. I thought of you every time" Dib relived the painful memories,"and...I just couldn't take it"
Nikia felt shock, but she didn't say anything, what was there for her to say? Dib was trying to be sincere but...this wasn't the Dib she knew. The Dib she knew wouldn't live under the alien ruling, no matter what.

snap out of it! Dib told himself, she's fifteen and you like Nikia.
"hi" Dib returned the greeting and tried not to sound mushy.
Dib returned his attention to something else,"hey, I'm starved, what'd Dad say we're having supper?"
"he's not coming home for supper" Gaz answered
"oh really?" Dib said sarcasticly
Gaz rolled her eyes again,"he said we could have pizza or chinese"
"pizza sounds good" Dib said,"what do you guys want on it?"
"sausage" Gaz said
"pepperoni and green peppers" Rita said

Rita wrapped her arms around him, as if nothing had happened. As if she was the only girl in Dib's life.
Dib pushed her away,"who do you think you are?" Dib asked fiercely.
"Rita" She answered in a sweet voice, she leaned forward to kiss him again.
Dib pushed her away again,"no" he told her strongly.
Rita lowered her eyes,"I thought you loved me"
"no" Dib tried to make himself believe,"no, I didn't, we never happened, you're just Gaz's friend, nothing happened between us"
"yes something did" Rita said,"I loved you and you loved me, Nikia came between us"
"NO! you came between me and Nikia, get out, get out of my life, out of my love, out of my freedom, out of-" Dib cut off when Rita held something above his head. Something long, sharp and deadly.
"you loved me, I know you did"
"R-rita" Dib stuttered,"put down the knife"
"I thought maybe a new disguise would help me get your love"
"disguise? what are you talking about?"
"Don't be stupid" Rita said,"I'm Rosette and you know it"
Rosette...no... "no...you can't be, she died...five years ago..." Dib trailed off.
"I didn't die, I made everyone believe I died, so I could start my revenge"
"revenge?"
"Nikia left this town exactly five years ago in one hour. She has only sixty minutes to live and she doesn't know it"
"NO!!" Dib screamed
"yes" Rita/Rosette said evilly,"and now you're mine Dib, all mine"
Dib noticed a watch hanging from Rosette's pocket.
"I can't believe you still care about her, good bye Dib" Rita neared the knife torwards Dib's throat
Dib grabbed the watch with a sudden impulse he rewinded the clocks time five hours and pressed the time set button. He closed his eyes.
Rosette slammed the knife down.
