Fortune Cookie Says: Man who smiles often must floss often

Classroom Cheer

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Stressed
"I don't see why I have to guide you…you're supposed to be intelligent and yet you can't read a schedule," Dib complained as Purple followed him.

"Don't you shut up?" Purple finally snapped.

Purple had never known how long a hallway could really be. Dib had been going on about how the universe had to have something intelligent out there. Purple gritted his teeth and twitched as he grinned. Dib took no notice of the alien's thin patience. He ran a hand through his long scythe hair and sighed. He had grown to be almost as Tall as his father, he was still missing a few inches. Dib had chosen to remain with glasses, said they gave him a better image. Purple rolled his eyes as the human droned on. Dib turned a corner and his trench quickly made a swishing sound. Purple glared at his surroundings.

"Where am I?" Purple questioned.

Dib stopped looked at the schedule and then the room numbers. He grinned and pointed out a word.

"Biology?" Purple questioned.

"You have mostly science classes," Dib pointed out.

"I don't like science," Purple groaned.

"You complain too much," Dib sighed as he threw open a door.

Purple growled and then stepped into the class. His eyes widened in shock and he froze in the doorway. Dib shut the door and grinned. He followed Purple's gaze and landed on the TV, they were watching a video on cell reproduction. Purple could feel himself getting nauseous; he didn't want to see what went on inside these humans. The video was paused and Dib cleared his throat.

"Mrs. Wiki, this is the new guy," Dib introduced and quickly stepped back.

Purple turned to the left and saw an empty desk. He blinked in confusion and turned to raise a questioning eyebrow at Dib. Purple screamed as he came face to face with the teacher. The first thing he noticed was that she was tall, had blank flat hair, and gray colored eyes. Her skin was pale and she was smirking. Purple took a step back in order to regain his space.

"Well, well, well, at least Dib didn't try to bring us alien," Mrs. Wiki joked with a soft laugh. "Did he?"

Purple tensed and quickly shook his head.

"Welcome to Biology, I am the mad scientist known as Mrs. Wiki and these are my pupils," Mrs. Wiki introduced as she smiled. Purple wondered if this woman was insane.

"Uh, hi?"

"Not very bright are you?" Mrs. Wiki questioned.

"Freak," a student grumbled.

Mrs. Wiki raised an eyebrow and wondered who the student was talking about. She grinned and clapped her hands in front of her.

"And what are you?" Mrs. Wiki questioned.

"Irken," Purple grumbled before he realized his mistake.

Mrs. Wiki narrowed her eyes and glared at Purple. She then placed her hands on her hips and began to laugh. Purple relaxed a bit and uncomfortably chuckled.

"Okay, now that you're no longer amusing…take a seat," Mrs. Wiki brushed him off.

Purple sighed and then gasped. The teacher had just thrown a textbook at him. He gave her a scathing smile before he turned around. Purple quickly took a seat in the back and relaxed.

'This isn't too bad,' Purple thought.

"Today we discuss Human biology," Mrs. Wiki happily said as everyone groaned.

Purple blinked unaware of the danger.

Gaz grumbled as she clenched the schedule in her hand. Her brother had been enthusiastic about guiding the 'new' kids. She hadn't been. Gaz unscrunched the schedule and glared at the first classes. Her and Red had every class together.

'Every…class,' Gaz growled.

Gaz turned down another hall not caring if Red was behind her. She squinted her eyes tight and growled again. Gaz came to a stop at a thin metal door. She kicked the door and it flew open. Red winced as the door slammed into the wall. She marched inside and to the teacher. Her eyes remained squinted as she continued to glare at him. She watched as the teacher slowly began to smirk.

"You're late," the teacher darkly replied.

"New student Mr. Rancor," Gaz grumbled with her own smirk.

His green eyes narrowed and he quickly let his gaze slither to Red. He quirked a black eyebrow up in question. The corners of his mouth slightly rose a bit. Mr. Rancor turned around and smiled at the class. Red swore that the man's face was going to split from being too false.

"Introduce yourself now so I have something to write on your grave in case of any accidents," Mr. Rancor softly said with a grin.

Gaz rolled her eyes and walked into the crowd to find her seat. She figured that Red should be able to handle an introduction. She took her seat and slightly opened her eyes to watch him.

"I'm Red," Red simply replied with a shrug.

"Hey!" A random kid shouted. "Why do you have such a stupid name?"

Gaz held back her snicker as she watched Red's reaction. His face went still before his holograph skin began to flush in anger. His crimson eyes glared at the student as his fist clenched.

"I'm not from here and will eventually destroy you all," Red angrily mumbled.

"What type of freak has that name…Red…how dumb," another kid added as the class began to laugh.

Red's eyebrow was twitching and he slammed his eyes shut. He kept repeating to himself that he was not Tallest of this planet. Never, he had never been ridiculed in anyway. No one ever dared to treat him ill. His eyes snapped open at the last comment and he darkly smirked at the student. A few of the students went silent, but whispers were heard.

"That was very nice, now take a seat," Mr. Rancor grumbled as he pointed to the seat next to Gaz.

Red held his head up, walked over to the table, and sat down. He could hear the whispers, he wondered if Gaz heard them too. His eyes strayed to her and she kept silent and still.

'She must ignore them,' Red mused.

"Today we will be working on our stories," Mr. Rancor began.

"Stories?" Red questioned, unfortunately it was voiced too loud.

"You can write…can't you?" Mr. Rancor questioned.

"I think I can," Red mocked.

"You must write a story, be it fictional or non-fiction. I will not accept poetry because I want an actual story something that is more than a page," Mr. Rancor continued. "You may collaborate with other students and do a co-project, but be warned there are guidelines."

Gaz rested her head against her palm as Mr. Rancor passed out the guidelines. She hated having to write anything. Her skills were good, but she preferred to game to anything. The guidelines reached her and she glared at them. All that was on the page was a due date and rules stating something about nothing obscene. Gaz looked at Red from the corner of her eye and saw him glaring at the paper.

'This is going to be fun,' Gaz dryly thought.

A scream pierced the air and all the students looked out the window in the door. A student with dark tinted violet hair ran down the halls screaming. Gaz pushed the students out of the way and stepped outside the classroom. Dib ran pass her screaming at Purple. The science teacher quickly followed them carrying a model of the human body. Red smacked himself in the face and Gaz shook her head in disbelief. A camera in the corner of the hall shifted and Gaz raised her eyes to it; she knew he was watching it all.

Mekura laughed as he sat in his office watching the monitors. Everything was just too convenient to be true. Leaning forward, he closed his crimson eyes and sighed. When Zim first arrived on the planet he was thrilled, but that was squashed when he discovered that the Irken was exiled. So he sat, patiently waiting for the time that something right would happen. His eyes strayed to the picture on his desk and he smirked at it, it was smirk full of pride and impending victory. She had been the one to mess up his plans for victory.

"Even in death you still try to best me…not this time my dearly departed partner…this time you will fail and your daughter will help me," Mekura whispered with a chuckle.

He picked up the picture and smiled at the woman. Her long violet hair was curled at her shoulders. Her honey eyes shined with happiness as she hugged her two children. Mekura stuck the picture in his desk and sighed, soon he would have his revenge.

'You can't stop me this time Ivi,' Mekura thought with a smile.

It was time for gym and she could still spot the cameras, she figured he was watching them. Her amber eyes turned to Red and Purple and she closed her eyes. His hate for Irkens ran deeper than her hate for everything. She spotted Zim and saw him stretching a bit. She figured it would be another day of tennis. Gaz rolled her eyes and began to walk to the courts. She didn't care because she never bothered to try the sport. It was useless to try something that you had no interest in. Gaz shook her head and sat underneath the bleachers in the shade away from the teachers. She closed her eyes and thought about her project for Mr. Rancor.

"You were afraid of a model?" Red questioned Purple with a disbelieving look.

"It was all squishy and naked," Purple defended.

"But it was fake," Red replied.

"Humans are disgusting," Purple grumbled as he blinked and looked away.

Red nodded in agreement and watched as the humans gathered on the courts. It was interesting the way they seemed to follow these adults. Red and Purple gathered on the outside of the courts and watched as the game began.

"My Tallest," Zim greeted as he stepped up beside them.

"What's the point to this game?" Red questioned as he watched a ball bounce out of bounds.

Zim watched the game before he replied, "It is a game they play for fun."

"Fun?" Purple questioned.

"Yes my Tallest, they try to hit the ball so the other person misses and loses," Zim finished.

"What happens to the loser?" Red questioned with little interest.

"Nothing really," Zim answered.

"That's stupid," Purple grumbled.

Red watched the game and heard a clicking noise. He looked around in confusion before he looked to Purple. He was too busy watching the game to notice anything. Red's eyes moved to the stands and he noticed a camera on a light post, it was small but it was still there. Red's eyes narrowed and he heard another click.
