Chapter 3

Everything had blacked out.
"Am I dead…?" Dib asked woozily.
"Are you what...? Dead? Just a little bit." Someonegiggled.That voice again. The one he had last heard. "Uhm… You just uh… were sleepwalking and ran into a pole… Err…"
"Oh… Wait a minute! Zim!" Dib bolted up and opened his eyes. In front of him was… An alien? No… It was just a human. A human girl, that lookedjust about Dib's age.
"Who's Zim…?" She asked quietly.
"Obviously not you…" He mumbled. His head still hurt. Had he really ran into a pole in his sleep? There was no ship… And no sign of a crash. He didn't even have his camera… Maybe he had been asleep.
The girl was silent for a moment. Dib noticed that there was a small, midnight-black cat with… Blue eyes? He'd never heard of a black cat with blue eyes before.
"What's your name?"The girlasked quietly.
"That's kind of a strange question to ask right now… Dib. What's yours?" He asked, mainly just to be polite.
"Mine? Zeg… It's… Not really a normal name… I know…" She said quietly.
"Weird? It's not weird." Dib shook his head.
"Oh… Uhm… I have to go… Okay?" Zeg said, helping him up.
"Uh… Thanks. That's okay…" Dib said. Why was she so quiet? Was she trying to hide something? It was to late to ask. She had already picked the cat up and ran off. Dib shook his head. This had been one weird night.
