Chapter 33
It was probably about 2am when Lan decided she wanted to go walking. Not being able to sleep after the following events the previous day, she changed her striped shirt to a plain white tank top and threw her trench coat on. Quietly, not wanting to wake up anyone, she slipped out the front door and down the elevator to the first floor.
The receptionist was gone, probably to get some coffee or something. She glanced at the small T.V. to her left in the sitting room, and a meteroligist guy repeated something like "Rain rain rain is to come! Whoo, boy is it going to be rainy this morning!" Shrugging, she took a black umbrella from the rack by the front doors and walked outside to the humid night.
------------------
Purple beamed himself down to earth in a dark alley. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he hid himself in the shadows. Activating an immediate disguise switch on his arm pad, a small light beamed from it and a mini-hologram screen appeared infront of him with two buttons on it. One said "Male" and the other said "Female."
"Please select gender," a computer-like voice said from the program. Purple poked the button that said "Male." Then, tons of colored buttons appeared on the screen. "Now, select eye color." He poked the purple button. "Select hair color." Poking the black button, the screen changed to the big, grining corporate Irken sign. "Thank you for using Immedisguise! Please wait while we run a disguise for this planet's leading race!"
After waiting a couple minutes, the screen disappeared and he was engulfed in a large cloud of grey smoke. In just a matter of seconds, the smoke blew away and Purple stood there in his new disguise. "Whoo! I wonder what I look like!?!" He pressed a button on his other arm, and a full length mirror sprung out of his pak infront of him.
He stared at his reflection---a tall, pale male with intense purple eyes and short, black hair. His clothes were baggy blue jeans and a regular black button up shirt. Wincing at his reflection, he shuddered. "Man, these.....what did Zim call them? "Huy-mins" are uuuugly.....Oh well, atleast I'm still tall......"
A dirty hobo poked his head out from behind a nearby trash can. "Yo, got sum change bub?" he croaked. Purple slowly backed up. "Uhh......no. Now go away before you.........get me dirty or something!" The hobo ran off crying, wailing about wanting some change while Purple started walking towards the street. "Man, this place is wierd....."
----------------------
Lan gripped her necklace tightly in her right hand while walking by the busy street. Cars zoomed by as she walked on the almost deserted sidewalk. It was almost funny----there were TONS of cars in the street, but there was hardly any people walking on the sidewalk.
Her thoughts drifted to other things, though. One was of that kid, Dib. "Poor guy........." she thought. "He's all alone, and at such a young age! That alien I saw, I wonder what her story is. Hmm......Dib reminds me of myself in my teens. So mature and out-of-place, already shed out of that High skool mentality waiting for the next stage of life. I hope he doesn't turn out like me............"
Shrugging her shoulders, she slowly let go of her necklace. The eye of horus dangled from her neck as if it were alive. She stopped as a single drop of rain landed on her shoulder. Looking down at the sidewalk, raindrops suddenly started hitting it with a small "PLAT" sound, until the whole thing was covered in water.
Opening her umbrella with a lazy sigh, the rain started to come down faster wetting her in the slow attempt at sheltering herself with the umbrella. Clenching her trench coat tighter, her gaze drifted to a strange man running out of an alley one block down screaming in pain.
She stared at his burning skin, and then at his face. She gasped and almost dropped her umbrella at what she saw. Her eyes started to water in joy as she started running towards him. She stopped when she realized "...........It's not Tano..........." she said with a disappointed wimper. Wiping her eyes, she decided to walk up to him anyway to see what his problem was......
--------------
Purple stopped as soon as he saw something fall from the sky onto the ground infront of him. It was a clear liquid, and it came from the gasous clouds above him. Suddenly, more of them started to fall infront of him. Puzzled, he started until something burned his shoulder. One of the falling liquid burned him! "This..........isn't good," he mumbled.
Then, 3 more hit him, burning his sensitive skin. Then 4 more, 8 more, tons more started hitting him! Squeeling in pain, he tried to find shelter from the burning liquid, but found none. "RED! OPEN THE MASSIVE! HURRY!" he yelled, not getting a transmission or anything back. The liquid was falling down in large amounts now, and it hurt so bad he ran out of the alley to the sidewalk trying to get it all off.
"What IS this stuff!?! OOOOH, it huuuuuuuuuuurts!" he screamed, smoke rising from his skin now. He closed his eyes, waiting to see if Red would reply, when all of a sudden he felt something tap his shoulder.
Holding back tears of pain, he whipped around to see a small human standing behind him. She wore some type of glass infront of her almond eyes which were filled with concern, and her black hair was clinging to her face from being exposed to the liquid. She held something over her head that sheltered her from the burning substance, and she looked so small in that black coat.
"Hello? Are you ok?" she asked with a voice as sincere as her eyes. He couldn't help but smile, even though he was in pain. "Umm.....yes, you see I'm uhh.....allergic to this....this........." he pointed to the drops and she giggled a bit. "You're allergic to rain? Well, you're a strange one. Here, you need this more than me." She handed him the umbrella and he copied her by holding it above his head.
"Thanks, this helps alot. Boy, that rain is terrible. Whoo," he said. She laughed some more, and he stared at her wondering what was so funny about the situation. "Heheh, I guess so. Here, dry yourself off, you're still burning!" she said, taking off her trenchcoat, handing it to him. "Gee, thanks I guess......" he said, drying himself off. He wondered how she stood there, nearly naked in the "rain" and didn't get burned? After all, all she had on was a shirt and skirt, plus some type of boots. Shrugging it off, he handed it back to her.
"Well, hey I'm going to get some coffee, uhh.......would you like to come with me?" she asked. He didn't know what "coffee" was, but he supposed so, since there he had nothing to do until Red decided to check his transmission inbox. "Sure, I suppose I'll acompany you. After all, I have nothing else to do but stand here in this...........rain."
When she smiled at him, it gave him a funny feeling down in his organs. A warm, loving feeling. Straightening her glasses, she started walking infront of him. "That's........great. C'mon, I know this little joint not to far away, it has tons of snacks too!" He returned her smile, following her to this "coffee shop." "Hmm..........." he thought. "This isn't such a bad place............."

A/N: Awwww, such a cute chapter! Atleast I think so. Well, I can't be long so R&R please and hope you enjoy the story so far. Bai!
