ch 2: part1: Crazy-Lady's animosity

Disclaimer: The ALMIGHTY Invader Zim show-thing belongs to the ALMIGHTY Jhonen Vasquez, who currently is bound and gagged in my basement. I'm just kidding... he's actually in my closet.

(A/N: In the beginning of this chapter, we see a more malevolent side to Brandy. Reason being is that there's plot development and I hate making Brandy look like perfect, because she's not. Well, on with the violence...)

" I'm glad you came here Today, Brandy, because I need some help" Dib was talking over his bites of cafeteria food, while Brandy munched on a ham sandwich she brought from home. "With stopping Zim from taking over the world?" Dib nodded at the brunette's question. "It took me a month of spying, but I finally found out Zim's plan: He has built battle stealth mechs and is going to unleash them to destroy the town tonight-"

"Unless we stop him" Brandy finished her boyfriend's sentence for him. There was silence, then Brandy said "I'm going to get some milk, okay?" As she left to wait in line, Torque Smacky approached Dib, threatening in manner. "So, she's your girlfriend, freak?" Torque o-so-politely(note the sarcasm) asked Dib. "Yes. We met over the summer."

"How'd ya met her?"

"We got stranded on a desert island with our friends"

"Whatever. Getting straight to the point, she's too good for you. She might be a punk, but even freaks like that are too good for you" Suddenly Torque felt a malevolent presence behind him, who kicked him to the floor. "Hello. Torque Smacky, I presume?" Torque looked up to see the combat-booted brunette glaring down at him with her piercing blue-green eyes. "Let me get one thing straight Torque- only I can decide who's good enough for me and who's not. That's my decision, not anyone else's." By then everyone in the cafeteria stopped what they were doing(eating, picking on others, etc.) and paid attention to what was happening in the back seats. Never before have they seen such a display of aggression done unto a jock. Anyone wearing a letter jacket at this time shivered as the insane brunette grabbed Torque by the throat. "People like you make me sick. You talk about how weak and 'girly' the people you pick on are, yet right now a girl holds your life in her hands" she grabbed the open yet untouched milk carton. "The problem is that you drink too much soda. The acid in it slowly eats away at your bones, making them weak" Brandy repositioned her hand that gripped his throat to his chin and put pressure on a nerve to make his mouth open. "Here, this should help" slowly, she poured the milk into Torque's mouth. The beneficial liquid emptied into his stomach like a poorly draining sink. Brandy refused to let the choking jock go, until.. "Stop! Brandy, you're taking this too far!" ...Dib intervened. His at-the-moment malicious girlfriend smiled. "Okay. If that's what you want..." She lets Torque go, but as he's gagging, she continues her terrifying lecture. "That's how I've never broken a bone in my life. I'll give you time to think about it..." suddenly, a portal opens next to her "when I send you to the dimension of pure itching!" And that's just what she does. From then on Everyone who picked on Dib, and was planning to pick on Brandy, made a mental note not to bother either of them out of fear of invoking the insane brunette's animosity.

Part 2: meet the parietals

By the time Skool was out, Brandy was back to normal. Or, at least as normal as she can get. Dib was still too afraid to speak to her, until she convinced him that she'll try to control herself from now on (See? Brandy's not perfect: she's got psychopathic tendencies). "So," The insane brunette went on after everything was cleared up, "Wanna come over to my house? We're still moving in, but I want you to meet my parents" Dib's eyes widened with fear at this. "Don't worry. I'm sure They'll like you" Dib hesitated. "Well.. Okay." the ever-famous squeal of delight issued from his girlfriend's mouth as she wrapped her arms around him. "You'll love them, I promise"

It turned out that Brandy didn't live far from Dib's house, just a block or two(cough two cough) away. Her house was a light tan-ish in color, with leaf green trimming. Unlike the other houses, it wasn't aligned with the road, facing a forty-five degree angle. Dib asked Brandy why that was so. " When our house was laid here, I think about a month ago, my dad asked the workers to lay it at this angle. The reason is that the angle catches enough heat during the winter, and repels it during the summer" the brunette answered Dib's confused look with "My dad's an engineer. He does stuff like this all the time" As they walked into Brandy's new abode, Dib new from the start that her family was out of the ordinary. Perhaps it was the hand-welded metal sculptures on the walls that gave it away, or the china cabinet that held odd and strange objects from who knows where. What gave it away most was Brandy's parents, sitting at the dining room table talking over what looked like either a very late lunch or a very early dinner. Brandy's mother was a short, middle-aged woman with wavy brown hair just like Brandy's, that was pulled back in a loose ponytail. Her eyes were green, like a sprouting seed in the dead of winter, and her gaze as kind as the spring sun in the morning. Brandy's father was exactly the same age as his wife. He had blue eyes, as blue as the ocean, and scraggly black hair, the reason why his co-workers back home nicknamed him 'Einstein'. He carried a warm smile as he saw his youngest daughter enter the room. "Brandy! You're finally home! How was your day at school?"

"No different than back home, Dad. Mom?"

"Nothing much. I finished my painting. It's still in the den if you want to check it out" Brandy nudged Dib forward. "Mom, Dad, I want you to meet Dib, you remember what I told you about him?" her father nodded as he observed their guest. "Yes, the boy you met at the airport." He reached out his hand to Dib. "Hi, my name is Kenny." Dib took Kenny's hand "It's nice to meet you." Brandy's mother held out her hand. "Hello. Dib. I'm Tina"

"Nice to meet you, Tina"

"Hey, Mom, where's Tiffany?"

"She's out with her new friends. She's always like that, leaving soon after she gets home..." As Tina shook her head sadly, Brandy snatched Dib's hand. "Come on. I want to show you something" they made their way to a decent-sized room where Dib's eyes widened in amazement. There he saw the most beautiful painting he has ever seen. It was of a couple standing on the edge of a cliff, gazing into the canyon below, holding hands. "My mom's a homemaker, but in her spare time she paints. Sometimes people buy her paintings or they get sold at auctions." Dib saw the pride in Brandy's face at her mother's accomplishments "Unfortunately for me, I didn't inherit my mom's gift with oil paint. The only painting medium I'm good with is watercolors..." There was a long pause, then Brandy sighed, "Well, should we be on our way then?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah..."Dib tore his eyes away from Tina's masterpiece to follow Brandy to the door. But in the hallway... "Brandy! Were are you? It's us!" ...Jennifer, Allison, and Heather made an unexpected appearance.

(A/N: ooooh! what will happen now that Brandy's friends are here? CHAOS! that's what I say! C-H-A-O-SSSSSSSSS!)
