I know its been a while. This chapter was actually typed months ago. And despite my readers kind words I couldn't work on it. It made me feel all sick. But I reread it and said, "Damn I want to find out what happens!" So maybe you'll get another chapter before Christmas! Am I kidding, Serious? You don't know! Ha. Again, though I'd like to thank everyone who said something nice I love you all!
SCHOOL
Dib blinked slowly as he realized that light had engulfed his entire room. He sat up, leaning on his elbows and glanced at his clock, 7:30. That's what time he usually got up. The bigheaded kid crawled out of bed. He thought carefully as he ate his cereal and as he left the house and walked to school. Suddenly Dib was struck by a thought, "Whoa! Why didn't I think of this sooner? Gaz, I know what I have to do to save mankind! Miz said it herself! I can defeat Zim so if I beat him while he's alone…say at school! I can take her on separately and win!"
Dib laughed manically, "What do you think of that plan, Gaz?" he asked beaming. Glancing around he realized he was alone, "Oh. You're not here…I'm talking to myself again." He glanced around, that couldn't be healthy. Dib shrugged whom else would he talk to if not himself. He was good company and a great listener!
The school was in sight now. Dib almost couldn't handle the irony of a place of education being so full of idiots. He could see kids mulling about procrastinating entering the hall of tortures that they called, "Skool". He saw a green boy scurry inside, Zim. Dib licked his dry lips, how would he do it? Maybe lure Zim out back and hit him over the head with…something. That wouldn't work for the fundamental reason that there was nothing Zim would want that Dib could use as bait.
He shook his head actually destroying Zim would be harder than simply stopping his evil thing he does. Dib entered the classroom and slowly walked to his desk allowing his eyes to fall on Zim. The two stared each other down (again) as he passed. There was something else in Zim's face, a quiet exasperation and agitation, which was odd because none of Zim's emotions are quiet, ever!
Dib slid in to his seat just as the bell rang. Mrs. Bitters' formed from Zim's shadow cast against the wall. She glided over to the front of the class, "Students, as further proof there is a shortage of souls amongst the school board we have been granted the privilege of cramming another child in to this confined space."
She swept to the side leaving a small crimson haired girl trembling. Her eyes were big, "It was horrible…that place…the darkness…" she shook her head and stood up straight, "Eh. Hello. My name is Mizzy." She smiled flashing some pearly white teeth, "I am new here and quite excited to meet you all." Her eyes slid across the room and landed on Dib who was staring wide eyed at her his mouth hanging open. She silently mouthed, "Hey Dib" he blinked away his look of shock and glared. She was smart enough to stick close to Zim. To keep him from screwing up her plan…what ever it was. Well she couldn't be that smartest person in the universe. Her human alter ego was named, "Mizzy"!
Dib looked over at Zim who was just staring coldly at her. He had known she was coming. They had probably plotted it together. A lesser character was swept away probably never to be seen again to make room for this oddly short fifth grader. She smiled as she glided over to her desk.
For some reason Miss Bitters disappeared and left the class unattended. Mizzy glanced around then smiled at the letter M, "Hey do you like video games?"
"Yeah." He said slowly unsure of this new student.
"I thought so…here check this out." She reached into her backpack. Dib held his breathe, would she pull out another of those metal ball things? He cocked an eyebrow.
She whipped her hand out and revealed a medium silver ball with a small button on it. She handed it to him, her eyes narrowed with a smirk of pure evil.
"Go on. Push the button." He took it and without question he yanked from her grasp and pushed the button. It unhinged and opened with a quiet hiss. The ball opened and formed in to four parts a screen, a base, a part with a small joystick, and the four buttons. M began playing it and was in awe of how cool the graphics were. The game was called Invasion and you had to wipe out all life on a planet, report to your leaders, and move on to the next until you have claimed all the planets of the universe of the Orken army. Within twenty minutes the whole class was surrounding the Letter M's desk and watching this game with envious eyes all except three: Mizzy, Zim, and Dib. He sat at his desk his eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"hey!" Zita yelled, "Where'd you get this?" she asked Mizzy. That smug look spread across Mizzy's lips again, "Oh you know…a store. Actually you can get it at any store in the world as of…" she looked at the clock, waited a few seconds for it to change and the bell sounded, "now." The children squealed with joy and raced out the door more desperately than normal to run home and raid their piggy banks.
The sibling aliens left the classroom, Mizzy with a look of smug joy and Zim just plain sullen. She almost pranced out with him seething quietly behind her. Dib put a few books into his backpack and began to leave when Mizzy poked her head in, "I thought I would give you a hint. That game, its not what you think it…"
"Miz!" Zim screeched, "Fallow Zim and do not talk to the earth thing!"
"But I'm helping him stop us!" she chimed back.
"DON'T the earth stink will not be helped anymore!" he screamed reaching into the classroom and grabbing his sister's (A/N I keep calling her his sister but REMINDER no actual families on Irk. Thank you) collar and yanking her after himself.
Dib cocked his eyebrow and mumbled, "I'm going to have to figure out whatever they're up to. What's with the game? Is it more than an intergalactic assault simulator…maybe its…" he walked home mumbling to himself about his theory about Zim and Miz's plan.
