Chapter 3

House For Rent

Kalli was out of the Membrane's house before anyone was even up. Kalli didn't want Dib's dad to find her there, and she especially didn't want to get caught by Dib's sister. Kalli listened to Dib's stories about her, and unfortunatley beleived them. She explored downtown until 10:00 before she began to look for a house. She was walking down the street that one of the cheaper houses was on when she passed the strangest looking house she had ever seen. It was kinda lopsided with a flag that said "I love Earth" on it.

'What a weirdo...' she thought as she kept walking to the house next door, which was the cheapest house in the packet. Kalli wondered why but her train of thought ran into a wall when a voice called out to her.

"Are you here to look at the house?" Kalli looked in the direction of the voice to find a lady in a red Jacket.

"Um, yeah..." Kalli mumbled

"Great, well My name's Girty. I hope you like it, it's got one bedroom, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a Dining room." Girty gave Kalli a warm smile.

"Does it have a living room?" Kalli asked. Girty's smile dropped like a fly.

"Well, it does, but it's what brought the house's value down." Kalli raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong with it?" she was really curious as to why Girty didn't like the living room.

"Him..." Girty said as she opened the door revealing a man watching TV with a large cable connected to his head. "He doesn't move or talk. He just sits there."

"Wow... Well, besides him, I like it." Kalli said, she really needed this house. That caught Girty off-guard, but soon enough, Kalli signed the paperwork, and got the key.

"If you ever need any real estate help, call me." she gave Kalli a card and drove off. Once Girty was gone, Kalli looked at the strange house next door. Her suspicions were confirmed, the cables were coming from that house.

'I'll do something about it tomorrow...' Kalli walked inside unaware that she was being watched from the attic of the odd house.

A/n: Well, there it was, I'm sorry it was so short, I'm really busy with school and everything... She was desperate for the house I guess. But what will she do to fix the little problem with the neighbor? I guess you'll just have to wait. Good Bye people
