I stood at about the same height as Zim, except maybe a couple inches taller. My skin was a pale, sand-like color, and my head was rectangular. On each side of my face, I had four dots that formed a perfect square when connected (freckles), and my eyes were horizontal and oval. The pupils on them were bright blue squares, and had little hairs on my eyelid to make me more girlish. And I had a lot of hair on my head, but each side had ends that curled sharply, that kind of look liked horns, and the color was a flaming orange (even though most call it red).

I had on a blue tee-shirt with sleeves that were very wide and long, and this shirt actually fits! My black PAK stood out form my back, which was no longer humped, with the white version of my ever famous symbol painted on the side. My legs were normal, and I didn't wear tall, black combat boots. Not my style. I had instead shoes that blended in with my dark green pants. I was finally something I wanted to be. A normal, different species.

It was the first day of school, the building that Master Zim (what I have to call him now) had told me was filthy, and full of stinky human child beasts. It sounded kind of scary to me at first, but Scarlet said that I can just kill them off. She knows more obvious things about me than my vulnerable brain will be able to process.

"GIR! Guard the base, and don't explode anything this time! I want this school year to be a lot more informative and non-chaotic than the last one. With Jil around to defend me and chop up the skins and meat-organs into hamburgers, my mission will not fail me! Jil, get your weapons quickly and meet me at the school!"

I was up in the attic, like any typical depressed child on the first day of hell, lying on the bed. I wasn't sleeping in, or even closing my eyes. I had the equipment already tucked inside my PAK weeks ago, I was very excited for this day. What would school be like? Do I get meet other kids that look like me? Who are these 'teachers' that I'd have to mix in my new Blender-Rific 5000?

But most importantly, what was my mission? Master Zim hasn't told me a word of it yet, but I guarantee I have to go and commit murder to someone very special. But who? Whatever it is, I'll probably despise it and willing to send him to hell as Master Zim is. He's always pissed off about this thing. But I've never hear a name, nor description of exactly what it is. I only hear,

"GRUNT! GRUNT! AHHHHH! RAW! RAAAAAW!".

"Time for me to go, Scarlet, check my stuff? Missing anything?" I asked her, raising my arms up, making a 'come' motion with two fingers on each hand, and the laptop jumps out of the 3 departments in the PAK in three folded pieces. It puts itself together and appears in front of me, lightened up and metal arms attached to its sides.

"I've already checked the compartments thirty times!!! How important is this to you?!"

"I dunno....I just feel like this day going to change the way I look at things or something. Maybe this will be the day I'll be able to smile all the time without blood stains on my shirt. I'm watching too many oxyclean commercials, aren't I?"

I walked to school with Scarlet back in my PAK, and saw Master Zim hiding in the dark shadows of the stairs that lead to this hell hole. I walked into it and I notice kids who are staring at me, but they don't notice that they were doing so.

"AH! You've finally arrived! Now, down to business. You have to go to room number #207, the food in the cafeteria is highly dangerous for health, always smile and look innocent, your teacher is Mr.--"

"Get to the point. What the freakn' hell damn god blazes fire balls and red pills is my bullshit mission? I must know!!" I was such an impatient one back then.

"You don't know? I could've sworn I ordered GIR to tell you weeks ago..."

"He ate my chicken sandwich and vomited it into the freezer to see it melt! To see it melt!"

Zim seemed pretty used to GIR's insane actions. "It's very Simple: Kill this child." He gave me a FBI-like file, and inside were packets of notes and a small picture of a little girl. She looked really pale, though. And wore mostly black.

"And do it soon! This is the only reason I kept you alive!"

"AWWW! She's so cute! And cuddly!"

"She? What?! No, that's no girl! That's a boy! A very stupid one indeed! Do in him and bring the remain-ings to me as soon as you've done it! And remember, do it sooooooooon!!! I don't have to wait 5 years to get my arch nemesis killed by the Universe's 2nd Best Killer!"

"2nd Best?"

"Somebody's gonna be number one, and that's me! because I can achieve at anything!"

"You've never hand-killed a single soul! You just touch things and they die for you!"

A noise of a human subway train sounded off all around the building and in the playground.

"Time for school to begin?"

"They're bringing out the guillotine, jackass."

Then a loud toilet flush went off.

"There's the bell!"

~ ROOM #207 ~

I sat in the very back in the classroom, right next to a seat that was guarded up my tall, steel doors and walls, plus German shepherds growled at me as the 'I'm In' light blinks off. Whoever sits there must be a real loner. Either that or a some kind of caged animal.

"Hello," greeted Mr. Elliot, the teacher, "my wonderful class again to another, funirific school year!"

"What does this 'funirific' mean? Sounds some kind of poultry lawyer." I asked myself, and still to this day I don't know the definition!

"I was so happy to hear that since the school budget is dangerously low, we teachers get to teach the same class every year! Isn't that just awesome?!"

The kids mumbled to their friends, and uttered, "Ehhh......"

"Okay, then! It's time for show and tell! Who will be the lucky one to go first? He looked at each of the students, waiting for a perfect victim, "Ah! A new student! We'll start with you!"

"Me?" New Kid said.

"No, you stupid no-name bitch! You, the one with the red hair!"

I came up to the front of the rows of desks full of bored kids. I got confused as to what was I supposed to do. But it ended up being just a dorky game where you come up and talk about sandwiches that you find in your underpants.

"Okay, Jil, you should know what to do! You have to at least something to show off!"

"Uhh....OH!" I took out of my PAK one of my favorite toys, "I bought this really cool dagger that senses unknown enemies by the smell of their blood! Watch!"

There was no such a dagger, numskull! I actually took out a mini-sword (not even close to a dagger) and stabbed a random girl who sat in the front. She didn't seem to feel the pain, though. She kept looking into space for some reason...

"Ummm...." the teacher gulped, frightened of my skill, "Very unique! Gaz, would you like to go up next?"

Gaz growled from her cage, "Grrrrrr!" and even shook the thing a bit. "Impressive!" I mumbled, back on to my desk and leaning upon the chair idly.

"Come on! Just this once! You won't to come out for the rest of the year, I promise."

"Grrrrr!!!!"

Mr. Elliot sighed, "I'll give you the 50 dollars back."

The doors opened, and the one next to me stood the same height as me, wore a black dress and had a pale face with black squinted-like eyes. I wouldn't even guess how she can see through with her eyes like that, and then sometimes change into normal eyeballs. Very strange indeed.

"AUGGGH!" Gaz grudged, holding up a famliy portrait, "This is a picture of my family, with me, dad, and that stupid brother, Dib! See! He's the one looking all Agent-Smith like, he's always craa-zzy!"

I stood up on my desk, and leaned forward to get a closer look. It was him! Dib was the one I was supposed to kill for Master Zim! The one I've always been so questionable and curious about. And she is his sister!! Dib must've been the only to know that Zim was an alien, and tried to prove to Earth that that was true! No wonder that file was so large and heavy. But there was something about his face that made me my eyes pop open, and fall into a trance of happiness and mystery...

~ RECESS ~

"So...kill him already!" Zim found me at the playground, and told me the plan, "He's right over there, sitting on the fence!"

I wasn't quite sure if I could kill him now, it was just something about the look of his huge face which made me wonder about him more. "Ummmm...before I kill him, can I get to know him first? He might be suspecting that I'm a Irken working for you, and he might catch me before I can get him. You know, for the mission's sake?" I lied, a very clever lie, indeed.

Zim got annoyed, about to throw me over to the fence, but because of my special skills, he probably didn't want me gone just yet, "Fine! As long it's worth the wait!"

I didn't want to know that I have fallen in love with this guy, because he if did, he'll probably abandoned me off the planet, or do horrible things to my brain. I walked up to Dib, and he turned around to see me, starring at him. I was hoping Zim wasn't watching.

"Hi! My names Jil, and I came from....uh, Switzerland! Yep, good old Switzerland! Your Dib, right?"

Dib quickly presented himself and all of his ideas to me, this stranger of his. "You think I'm a little weird, do you? You know, with all the alien probes and invasions? Because I'm right! And I'm gonna prove everyone on this Earth wrong!! Once I save them from the most superior alien empire in the Universe, they'll cheer on for me, and might even give me a Nobel peace prize or something! And then I'll ride a moose!!"

His crazy personality and obsession with the paranormal made me gaze at him more, as if he were an angel from the heavens or something.

"I believe you," I said honestly, for I knew this babble he was speaking of is real, "and I bet you're gonna kick those alien asses!!"

"Wait a minute," Dib paused, already suspecting something on me, when I loved him the more! "Are you some kind of killer or invader or something?"

"Yeah...." I shouldn't of said that, damn!

I was afraid he had heard about me already, but it wasn't the fact that he was excited to meet another alien, he was disappointed. Maybe even angry at me. "Oh, great! Just great! You're one of those Irkens, aren't you?!"

"No I'm not! I'm just an orphan girl.....uh...whose been surviving all these years on my own by hunting for squirrels!! Yeah, that's right, squirrels! I'm no Irken! Sure, I've seen all kinds of alien invasions on this planet, but I'm not one of them!!"

"You're lying! You liar! Every new kid I've met for the past year have either been Irkens, humans with magical powers, assassins, or other creatures that come here to either get vengeance on Zim or start to date me!!"

I didn't know that all of this would come out of his mouth, I felt sad, but he only got the more irked by my presence. "I'm only 12 and I had over 5 million dates with monsters and gothic girls, and they've all gone wrong!! I'm sick of this madness! I'm no lover!!! I'm just a boy who wants to bring Zim over to the autopsy table!! ARGGHH!!! And now, I met new kid number 5 million and one! AND ONE!!!!"

Great, five minutes with the kid I've fallen deeply in love with, and he gets mad at me! I was determined Dib will change my life from a rotting apple to a beautiful fresh Macintosh, and I'm not leaving him!!!

"Dib," Hopefully talking to him about it would work, and I sat next to him up on the fence. "to tell you the truth, I live with this Zim guy, but I'm totally against his species. I like-like you, Dib, and I'll always be right on your side! I'm a professional assassin, and I guarantee this relationship won't screw up. I promise you..."

I gave him a warm hug, though he still mad at me. Once he gets to know me, he'll fall under the trance I'm living in now, and being together forever will bring true happiness to both our souls. And whoever those 5 million girlfriends are, I'm gonna rip their organs out, MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

"See ya later, Dib...." And then the relationship started, just like that. Without Master Zim knowing, of course.
