A/N: Short, but I hope you like it.
Zim, Gaz, Dib, and Tak were all walking from different parts of the school towards the lunchroom, each one thinking about their encounters with Derrick. Gaz was still pissed off by Derrick's desk licking and lack of being intimidated by her this morning. Tak was grinning at how Derrick brushed off their history teacher. And Dib and Zim were irritated that they were blown up by Derrick's insane move of mixing too many chemicals at once in Science. Dib turned a corner and saw his sister's back before running towards her.
"Hey Gaz." he said as he started walking next to her. She glared at him with her eyes slightly open, making him flinch.
"Now's not a good time to talk to me." she growled before sniffing the air. "Why do you smell like tar?"
"Oh. The new kid." Dib said in irritation. "He, Zim, and I had to be partners in Science class. Nearly blasted us to pieces. Why are you angry at him?"
"I have to sit next to him." she said. "He licks his desk." Dib gave her an 'are you for real?' stare as they kept walking through the hallway.
"So, you're going to doom him?" he asked.
"Yes. And soon." she said as they walked into the lunchroom. It was packed with freshmen to seniors either eating, talking, or whatever on many of the tables set inside. Just the way Gaz hated it. The two of them walked in line and got their lunches before sitting at the table with the fewest kids, which happened to be inhabited by Zim and Tak at each end. None of the other kids wanted Zim to sit near them, and none of them could get near Tak without her either hurting them or forgetting where they were due to her mental implant.
"Hello Dib. Gaz." Tak greeted when they sat next to her. "And how has your day been today?" Gaz didn't respond while Dib glared at Zim. "Dib?"
"Huh?" Oh, sorry." Dib said as he looked at her. "It was the same as usual."
"Not from what I heard." Tak said with a smile. "I heard that you two each had a little run in with our new student." Gaz growled while Dib looked at his food.
"Yeah. Derrick, or Dim, or whatever he calls himself." Dib said as he ate some of his food. "Freaking idiot nearly killed me and Zim."
'If only,' Tak thought as she eyed Zim for a moment before looking at Gaz. "And I heard that he's not afraid of you."
"He's new. He'll learn." Gaz said as she took a bite of her pizza slice.
"Did you meet him?" Dib suddenly asked Tak.
"Not personally, but he has third period with me." Tak said. "I've learned two things about him. One: I don't think he likes being stared at."
"Two?" Dib asked.
"He likes eating detention slips." Tak finished.
"That's...weird." was all Dib could think to say.
"Enough!" Gaz snapped. "I already have to spend first period in the same room as that guy! I don't need to hear about him everywhere else!"
"Did you see that new kid?" a passing girl asked another girl.
"I did! He's so sexy!" giggled the other girl. Gaz's hands clenched before she pulled out her Game Slave 4, hoping her videogame would drown out any other words about Derrick. Sadly, she was proven wrong.
"Hey, mind if I sit here?" The three of them turned to see Derrick standing next to them, a tray of food in his hands.
"You again?" Dib asked in disbelief.
"Hey, it's my lab partner!" Derrick said with a smile before turning to Gaz. "And your the girl that likes to sit all alone in class." Then to Tak. "And you like to stare."
"And you like to eat detention slips, lick desks, and blow shit up." Tak said.
"Guilty!" Derrick laughed before looking at Zim. "Why's your friend sitting all alone?"
"Zim is not our friend!" Dib spat.
"Are you speaking for the whole group?" Derrick asked.
"He's an alien! He's here to destroy us all!" Dib yelled.
"I heard this before in Science." Derrick said. "Can I sit down or not?"
"I don't really care." Tak said with a shrug.
"Good enough for me." Derrick said as he sat down next to them. When he did, they got a good look at his tray.
"Is that the mystery meat?" Dib asked as Derrick poked the grey glob of food on his tray with his spork.
"Yep." Derrick said.
"You're actually going to eat that?" Tak asked.
"Nah. I had a big breakfast. I only got it because some of the other kids said that it moves sometimes." Derrick explained as he turned to Gaz. "Not very talkative, are we?"
"I'm in the middle of my game here, so be quiet." Gaz growled. Derrick smiled before he felt something tugging at his hand. He looked down to see his spork being pulled into his meal. He, Dib, and Tak watched as the spork slowly disappeared into the mystery meat before burping.
"It ate my spork!" Derrick said in disbelief before it jumped on his face. "It likes me. OW! It bit me!" he yelled before pulling it off and throwing it into the air. He rubbed his face as Zim began to howl as steam rose off his head.
"THE MEAT IS ATTACKING ME!" he yelled as he began running around in pain, causing Dib and other kids to laugh. Zim finally got the burning meat off of himself before glaring at Dib. "YOU DARE THROW MEAT AT THE MIGHTY ZIM?!" he yelled while holding the glob in his hand.
"I didn't do anything Zim!" Dib protested. "It was the new kid!"
"Don't pawn blame off on me just because I'm new here!" Derrick said.
"What?! But I just saw you throw your food at him!"
"My lunch is right here in front of me." Dib looked down to see that his lunch tray was now in front of Derrick, while Derrick's empty tray now lay before him. His jaw dropped as Gaz opened one eye to see that Derrick had swapped their trays while Dib was laughing.
'Hmm, not bad. Still gonna destory him later.' she thought.
"FILTHY DIB-MONKEY!" Zim yelled as he threw the food at Dib, hitting him right in the eye.
"OH, YOU ROTTEN ALIEN!" he yelled before he grabbed his own tray and threw it at Zim, who ducked to avoid it.
"HA! YOU MISSED!" Zim yelled in triumph before grabbing another student's tray and throwing it at Dib, only to miss and hit a few other students. Dib retaliated and threw some more food at Zim, hitting more students. This kept up before Derrick grinned, ready to give the last push.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Derrick yelled. The cafeteria then erupted into chaos as food began to fly everywhere, hitting everyone and everything in the lunchroom. Dib and Zim were each other's main targets while everyone else just randomly threw food everywhere. Gaz and Tak, being the smarter ones, hid under the table to avoid being hit with anything.
"THAT! IS! ENOOOOOUGH!" Everyone in the room stopped as they stared at the hulking mass of human that stood in the doorway.
"Oh crap!"
"It's the Principal!"
"What's going on here?!" yelled the Principal as his eyes scanned the room.
"THEY STARTED IT!" practically everyone yelled as they pointed at Zim and Dib.
"Zim is not the culprit! The Dib-Worm started it!" Zim yelled as he frantically pointed at Dib.
"No I didn't! It was the new kid!" Dib yelled as he pointed at...nothing. Derrick wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Wha?"
"Both of you! IN MY OFFICE!" yelled the Principal before turning to Gaz and Tak. "You two as well!" Gaz and Tak stared in shock that they were called as well before they scowled and followed Dib and Zim outside towards the Principal's office. While they walked, they saw Derrick leaning against the wall, completely clean, with a smirk on his face as he waved his hand goodbye. The anger could almost be felt off of each of them as they all shared the same thought.
'He. Will. PAY!'
