*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *

Mali: *rolls eyes. Goes back to reading Phantom of the Opera* Poor Erik... ERIK!

Jenny: *shakes head slowly*

Mali: Erik died... WHY?

Jenny: I don't know. Never read it

Mali: He was a great man...

Jenny: Here we go again!

Mali: Did terrible things, but great

Jen: Was that a 'Harry Potter' quote?

Mali: Yes...

Jen: Cool

Dib: *raises eye brow*

Mali: Hello, staring bigheaded person who loves aliens

Dib: MY HEAD'S NOT BIG! *glares* And I HAVE to like aliens! THE WORLD DEPENDS ON IT!!!!

Jen: Cool

Mali: It does? Prove it. *Smug grin*

Dib: Yes.... yes it does. Go talk to Zim! THEN tell me he's not a psycho alien bent on destroying mankind

Jen: He would tell us that?

Mali: *walks up to Zim* Hello. I'm Mali, and I'm sanitized for your protection.

Zim: *O_o;* huh?

Mali: I'm germ free!

Zim: ...

Mali: ...

Jen: *Still at desk. Her and Dib are watching Mali and Zim* Awww.... They look so cute together!

Dib: Huh? WHAT?!

Mali: Well, I know something you don't know Zim....

Jen: *listening* this should be interesting

Mali: *whispers something to Zim*

Dib: what did she say?

Jen: Heck if I know.

Zim: O_O Really?

Jen: What's she doing?

Dib: I.... don't know.

Mali: *Nods*

Zim: *burst out laughing, not his maniac one, but more like a child's*

Mali: *^_^*

Dib: That's creepy

Jen: Maybe I should go over there and make sure Mali isn't saying anything she shouldn't...........About me

Mali: *notices Jenny coming* Hey!

Jen: *walks up to Mali* Hello..... What'cha talkin' bout?

Mali: Stufffffffff...

Zim: hmhmhm

Jen: Whaaaaaaaat? Are you talkin' about me?

Mali: No.

Jen: Good

Mali: We're talking about the abnormally large head of Dib. It's an inordinate size!

Jen: *looks back at Dib* *Dib raises an eyebrow at them* I don't think it's that big.

*Dib looks surprised*

Mali: Are you kidding? It's humongous! *Sings a song* Dib, Dib, had a very big head... (Thank you Mouko!)

Jen: *looks embarrassed* would you stop that?

Mali: Whhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy????

Jen: Because... It's not very nice!

Mali: So?

Jen: Well it's probably not the best way to start in at a new skool either! We have to fit in, remember?

Zim: *raises eyebrow*

Mali: I already do. I don't need friends. I'll be that whiney girl in the corner with the green kid!

Jen: uhhh....you do that. And I'll be the strange dark girl who likes the paranormal and supernatural

Zim: We've already got one of them.

Mali: *chokes in laughter*

Jen: *rolls her eyes*

Mali and Zim: *laughter*

Jen: Oh come on! Dib can't be THAT bad......Can he?

Mali: Yeah he can...

Jen: How would YOU know?! We just got here!!

Mali: I'm special.

Jen: That's true

Mali: And special people get to hug "aliens"

Zim: WHAT?! I mean..... WHAT aliens-- GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEE!!!!

Mali: *Hugs Zim*

Zim: *screams and squirms*

Jen: I'll just let you two be now......

Mali: ^.^

Jen: *backs away from the screaming boy and insane friend, then runs back to the desk behind Dib*

Dib: That... was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen

Jen: .........yeah...

Dib: Soooo... You don't think my head is big?

Jen: I've seen bigger

Mali: *Has Zim on a leash with Zim chewing on it*

Jen: WHAT THE HELL!!!

Dib: What's she doing!!!

Mali: ^.^

Jen: Actually, that's kinda normal for her......

Everybody: * O.o;*

Dib: You're kidding..... Or I'm dreaming..... One or the other......

Mali: Neither... little pop tart.

Jen: *puts her head down on the desk and puts her arms over her head. * Yep...That's Mali *laughs a little*

Mali: *Laughs* *Notices Zim chewing away* STOP IT! *Gets a newspaper*

Dib: *starts laughing his head off watching Zim*

Jen: MALI!! Put ......the paper....down

Mali: *pouty* FINE!

Jen: Good girl. Here's a cookie

Mali: No. Wait. What kind?

Jen: Chocolate chip. *Pulls a cookie out of the pocket of her black jacket*

Mali: Okay! *Eats half of cookie and gives other half to Zim*

Zim: *sniffs it, shrugs, and eats it*

Mali: Good boy...

Dib: Wow. Zim's being treated like a dog..... Didn't think I'd see that till he was in a lab

Mali: Dib, stop with the dog jokes.

Dib: *scowls* Why? People always joke about my head!!! Why can't I make a couple jokes about Zim acting like a dog?!?!

Mali: Because that particular joke is used in many cartoons. "This is my Lab! *Bark* and this is my Laboratory!" Haven't you seen Spongebob?

Dib: No....I watch Mysterious Mysteries!

Mali: You... need a life...

Jen: cool. I wanna watch that. And he doesn't look dead to me!

Mali: The cultist wasn't dead.

Jen: *shivers* Don't even mention that. Dib's not a cultist! Are you? *Looks at Dib. He shakes his head*

Mali: How would YOU know? You only just came here?

Jen: He just said so

Mali: *Rolls eyes* Of COURSE he said it. A REAL cultist would deny it.

Jen: *Looks at Dib, looks at Mali, looks back at Dib, looks back at Mali, looks at Dib, looks at Zim and almost bursts out laughing as he chews the leash a little more, looks at Mali, Stops and studies Dib.*

Jen: That girl looked creepy. *Smiles* He doesn't look creepy.

Mali: So? I know that one isn't a cultist...*points at Zim*

Jen: Duh! He's an alien!

Zim: *looks up quickly.* huh?

Mali: No he isn't. He's sick.

Zim: Yes. Sick. Terribly sick.

Dib: he's been green since he moved here

Mali: He's got... CANCER! Radiation makes him green..

Jen: *sighs and throws her hands in the air* Alright! Whatever! You believe what you want.

Mali: Actually, I made that up off the top of my head...He didn't tell me that.

Jen: *sighs again*

Mali: *Pets Zim and purrs*

Jen: *muttering* Mali.... you're purring again

Mali: Oops! Sorry.

Dib: *Throughly confused*

Zim: *continues to chew the leash*

Jen: *nods head toward Zim and Dib* igsay on the catandpyronay

Dib: Was that pig Latin?

Mali: Fine! *Mutters about no "fun" at all*

Jen: *ignores Dib's question* Well, then again, if you want the cultist and her friends to find you

Mali: Okay! I'll stop it.*Mali looks sad*

Jen: I thought you'd see it that way. Besides, I don't like it either! *eye twitches once*

Mali: Whoever wrote that song "It's Raining Men" was wrong. It never rains men!

Jen: Riiiiiiiiiiiight

Dib and Zim: O_o

Dib: Does she always do this?

Jen: Yep! At least it keeps things interesting!

Zim: *goes back to chewing the leash off*

Jen: *looks down at Zim* having fun?

Zim: *growls*

Jen: okay. Sorry *looks at Mali* I thought you didn't like dogs.

Mali: I do! I like the Chihuahuas and Pit Bulls!

Jen:hmmmmm..... I'll stick with the cats.

Mali: You can't put a leash on cats!

Jen: True. But I once heard of this cat who went back into a BURNING BUILDING to save her kittens.... I wish I were in a burning building.

Dib: *gives her a strange look*

*Bell rings for recess*

Mali: Ooh!

Jen: RECESS!!!!! YAY! *Skips away in an un-naturally good mood*

Mali: * Slinks away into shadows*

Dib: *walks out*

Zim: *FINALLY chews off leash and leaves*

*Jenny. Now outside, looks to make sure no ones looking then quickly moves around to the side of the skool away from the playground*

Jen: Finally!

*Mali meets her*

Jen: hey

Mali: Hi...Cat form might be better for me...

Jen: Go ahead! I need to be around some fire! *Her hand is palm up in front of her, a flame appears inside*

Mali: *transforms into cat at the same moment Dib and Zim coming walking around the side of the Skool* Aww... craaaaaaaaappppppp...We've been spotted

Dib: MY HEAD ISN'T BIG YOU STINKIN ALIEN!

Zim: Yes it is, stinkbeast!

Jen: That's better. *Sees Dib and Zim* Shit *flame disappears quickly, her hand isn't even charred*

*Mali runs into shadows*

Jen: *now on her own as Mali transforms in private, stands up and smiles nervously at the boys* uhh..... Hi....guys.... Uh... Happy 'Fire Holding and Metamorphosis Day'!

Dib: That cat looks awfully familiar

Jen: There're ALOT of black cats in the world!

Mali: *purrs and rubs Zim's leg*

Dib: *Gasps*

Mali: *Hisses* Translation: YOU IDIOT!

Dib: Ow .O

Jen: I mean..... CALI!! MY CAT!! Get off Dib's head! My cat's name is Cali.....yeah..... sounds like Mali, but it's Cali...get it?

Mali: *thinks* Short for California... *jumps on Zim's head and falls asleep in his wig*

Zim: *annoyed*

Jen: Awww! Isn't that cute!

Dib: Owwwww.....

Jen: *looks at Dib* Ouch! Maybe you should go to the nurse. *Sees Dib's glasses are scratched. Grins* I'll help you.

Dib: No! I can do it! You'll set me on fire or something! *He runs into a pole*

Jen: *Nods* I'll help you

Mali: *wakes up and hisses* Translation: Don't take him, I reduced his head area and circumference *Pays WAY too much attention to Math*

Jen: *glares* Translation: You're mean!

Mali: *telepathically* (So what if I'm mean?)

Jenny: *telepathically* (leave him alone! You don't even know him!)

Mali: (Hey... Zim's hair is lice free unlike your friend...)

Jen: (Dib doesn't have lice!)

Mali: (Yes he does. They jumped on me.)

Jen: (then stay away from me!)

Mali: (When I went on Zim, they all died.)

Mali: (So? I like foreign exchange students)

Jen: (AND HE THINKS HE'S A DOG!!! hehehe..... Cat's and dogs don't go well together)

Jen: *out loud* grrrrrrrrrrrrr *Dib looks at her nervously*

Mali: (Rrrrr? You're thinking like a dog now!)

Jen: (Oh shut up! I'm NOT a dog person! And I'm NOT going to set Dib's head on fire!!!)

Mali: (Why not?)

Jen: (Zim's on the other hand.... WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPING ON IT!!)

Mali: (He has no hair. I was sleeping on a wig.)

Jen: (SEE? He's an alien!)

Mali: (I like bald men. And no, he's not an alien.)

Jen: (yes he his!)

Mali: (He's not an alien because he's bald. I read a story about a girl whose hair fell out.)

Jen: (bald.... green...no ears.... no nose... big eyes....)

Jen: *growls slightly at Mali telepathically*

Mali: (You need to watch where you're going!)

Jen: (You need to get off Zim's head! he don't seem to like it much!)

Zim: *sits down scowling*

Mali: (FINE! Once you let go of your lovebird's hand.)

Mali: (Heh.)

Jen: (He's nearly blind! ...He needs my help...)

Mali: (Fine. I'll help him!\)

Jen: (What?! Mali, what are you doing?!?)

Mali: *runs off behind the Skool, transforms to hybrid, puts on a cape and picks up Dib*

Jen: *out loud* What the heck!!?? MALI!!! PUT HIM DOWN!!!

Mali: (I'm rescuing him now.)

Jen: *slaps her forehead* way too much Phantom of the opera......

Mali: (No. Dib is more of a Raoul, Zim's the Phantom)

Jen: *growls* Put Dib down NOW!!! If you don't I swear I'll go Pyr---*cuts herself off quickly*

Mali: *Puts Dib down at the first aid area* *out loud* You shouldn't cut yourself. *under cloak transforms to Human*
