The Return of the Hideous New Girl
Chapter One: The Carnival
"...And as for the survivors, it wasn't long before the rabid squirrels found them. Doomed from the very beginning...DOOMED!"
Another day of skool with Ms. Bitters' "lesson of doom". The classroom kids were all either droning over the voice of the snake woman with drool slowly dripping from the the sides of thier half opened mouths, or wishing against all hope that maybe a freak meteor will crash into the skool and end this slow torture. Or, maybe the bell will ring.
"And THAT children, is why camping is just another reason why all relaxing activitys are not meant for the ones cursed to begin with...like all of you!" Ms. Bitters finally completed her daily three hour lecture. The whole classroom cheered and threw papers in the air like confetti. Then to add more enjoyment, the skool bell finally let out its ring of freedom.
"HOLD IT!!" The snake woman snarled out. Everybody froze in place. "I'm forced to tell you before you go, that there is going to be some kind of "carnival" at the city park on Sunday. The skool is being "kind", and letting any child in this class go for half price." She pulled out some flyers out from her desk, and began to pass them out. "Show the people this paper, and they will let you in with the half-off thing."
There was some low talking and whispering about this, most excited about it already.
"There, I did that, NOW GET OUT OF HERE! Have a "nice" weekend." M. Bitters said with no hint of "nice" in her voice.
The room cleared out in seconds, some kids walking over one another to get the heck out of there. With the last of them now running through the hallway, the last one to exit the classroom was the Irkin invader in disguise. Zim stared oddly at the paper he was handed. He's never heard of this "carnival" before.
"Hmmm...What kind of "HUMAN" thing is this??" He asked out loud as he walked down and out of the skool building. He continued to gaze at the paper, not really looking at where he was going. Suddenly, he tripped over something, or rather somebody's foot. He fell flat on his face on the sidewalk. He quickly looked up to see none other then Dib laughing back at him.
"You should watch where your going, ZIM." He said in a joking manner. Zim growled as he got back up. He still had the carnival paper in his hand, now crumbled up cause his hand was made into a fist at the boy.
"How DARE you trip me!" He hissed right in his face.
"It was easy." Dib said. "You have that paper in your face." He pointed at Zim's folded fist. The alien uncrumbled it and looked at the paper again. "So...are you going to that?"
Zim lifted his head at Dib with one of his looks. "Why would I, ZIM, go to this...this...THING you HUMANS call...a caaannee..."
"CARNIVAL." Dib said with folded arms. "It's a thing humans go to to have FUN."
Zim cocked his head to the side. "Umph...I have better things to do then watch abunch of YOUR kind running around, having "fun"." He continued right by Dib with a sour face. "Rogue and I are very busy at the moment anyway."
" Where WAS Rogue today anyway, Zim?" Dib asked as Zim walked farther away from him. The alien stopped and turned right around.
"NONE OF YOUR FILTHY BUSINESS, DIB-MONKEY!!" He shouted, then walked off.
~.At Zim's base.~
"Hand me that tube, Gir.. no, THAT one.GIR! Be careful with th-"
*BOOM*
The smoke cleared with Rogue and a suddenly psyched up SIR unit covered in black. The explosion wasn't harmful to them, but it was to anything else that was in its wake. Rogue coughed up a puff of smoke from her lungs and viewed the damage over. The tube, which Gir got for her, was now nothing more then a pile of burned glass near her feet. The little robot just squealed.
".Well, THAT wasn't it." The female Irken said flatly, dusting the rest of her off. "Computer, check off the chemical known as "Nitro Glycerin" as "not it", please."
The computer, which was now barely working, beeped up a checklist of different Earth chemicals and checked THAT one off.
"Could we dooooo that again?? PLEEZZZ!?" Gir asked with wide eyes. Rogue didn't even answer that. She shook the rest of the black off and thought to herself, 'Zim isn't gonna like this one.'
Just as she thought that, a familiar sound came up from the upper base/home area. "Spoke too soon." She said with a sign.
She first could hear Zim's tired footsteps, but then heard them quicken as he reached the toilet to the lab. No doubt, he could see smoke coming from the bowl. The male Irkin ran out from the elevater when he got down, to see the damage to the lab, and Rogue and Gir just standing there.
"...WHAT HAPPENED!?" Zim asked, his eyes almost as big as Dib's head.
"KA-BOOOOMY!" Gir cheered out. Rogue shook her head.
"Gir sort of dropped a exploding Earth chemical..." Rogue explained. "And needless to say, THAT wasn't the one we're looking for."
For a while now, Zim and Rogue have been looking for a possible Earth subtrance or chemicals that could increase the grown in thier kind. They figured that if they were going to be on Earth of a good time, they should LOOK older, taller like any other growing human would look. It would come in handy when they start going to junior high skool. But so far, its been a no-go.
"I think both you and Gir should call it a day for now..." Zim said, still lookiing at the mess.
"...Sorry about that..." Rogue said. Gir went up the elevater, getting out of the aliens' way as they began to clean up.
~Two Hours later...~
The lab was finally cleaned and fixed up just as Rogue and Zim felt like collapsing. They both headed up to the upper level known as the house. Zim, wiped out, sat at the table in the kitchen, while Rogue went to the fridge first to grab a Cherry Poop. She sat next to Zim and drank it right down within two to three swallows. Crushing the can with one claw, she threw it over her shoulder, it landing right in the trash basket. The two both let out a sigh.
Just then, Rogue's eye caught something hanging out of Zim's pocket. "Hey...what's that thing?"
Zim looked down. He forgot that he stunk that carnival paper there when he was done talking to that Dib creature. He took it out and showed it to Rogue. She looked at it the same manner as did Zim before.
"Car-ni-val? What's that??" She asked.
"The Dib worm said it's something humans go to just to have "FUN"." Zim said. "It's nothing to us."
"I wonder what kind of "fun" he meant?" Rogue said, still eyeing the paper. Zim's eyes perked a little to that thought. He grabed the paper right out of Rogue's fingers.
"Dib didn't say what KIND of FUN the humans have!" The gears in his head started to turn. "What if it's a secret meeting of the Earth kind, or a type of infomation exchange!" His eyes turned sharp and focsed. "Maybe we SHOULD go to this CAR-NI-VAL..."
"You DO have a point..." Rogue said, getting what Zim was saying. "Dib could have lied, right?"
"He IS a DIB." Zim said with a low hiss to his voice. "That's it then. We're going to this CAR-NI-VAL on Sunday!"
"CARNIVAAAAL!!!" Gir suddenly popped up from behind them, screaming and running around on the top of the table. "CARNIVAL!! CARNIVAL!! CARNIVAL!!!"
"GIR!!" The two shouted. They tried to get him off the table.
~Meanwhile...~
At the barren city limits, a single figure stood staring at the human city ahead. The sun, now setting behind the standing figure, casted a creepy shadow in front of it's being. A small gimmer of light flashed from the left side of the figure's head, a metal implant of sorts. A grin formed across it's shadowed face.
"This time, Zim...I WON'T lose!"
TBC............
*RogueStar*: This fic is number 2 of my tie-ins before the sequel of "Project Rogue". I had this one thought up before, I just had to get it started. Plus, I had some holes to fill in here and there. Yes, the figure at the end of chapter one here is Tak. I've been wanting to use her in one of these, but she'll be seen even more in the sequel! Well, I gotta go, so please R&R this! Later!
