NOTE! This story is still on hold. I just have this chapter floating around and thought, "Ah, why not?"
Also, I have hit a massive obstacle in updating Tolerance.
My mom.
(Roll over and dies)
And I feel really bad because I promised I would, and for a reviewers birthday as well. I will contact her/him later to see if he/she wants a request.
And I can't update ANYTHING AT ALL next week for thanksgiving. I will be in Mexico, at a wedding.
And if giving the choice…
I would still go to Mexico, for a wedding.
HA!
DISCLAIMER: I own none of the original!
"I hate kids." I stated to Gaz. She rolled her eyes at my bad mood.
"Shut up you whiner." She said. She pressed pause on her game and pulled a camera from the bookshelf. I didn't bother stopping her. I was too humiliated.
Tami, the sweet little foreign exchange student was placing braids and ribbons in my hair. She originally wanted to do them on Gaz, but my sister refused. And I just can't say no to chibi eyes.
So like I said, I hate little kids.
"You look so pretty-full!" exclaimed Tami. "Just like a comet fairy!"
I raised an eyebrow. "A what?"
She grinned. "A comet fairy! They come to good little…uh…kids to grant them a wish! But only in their sleep!"
It was a bit funny; she seemed to have forgotten the word 'kid' for a second. But then, maybe she was trying to remember the word 'children', and gave up and said the word 'kid'. Am I thinking too hard about this?
It didn't matter. "Okay Tami, can I take off the braids now?" I asked sweetly.
"You asked that five times! I am not done yet!" She protested. She made a reach for the bells. I had to think fast.
"Uh…Tami? Wouldn't you like to go out? We can do whatever you want, like…"
"…Like seeing Zim?" She asked, sounding hopeful.
I frowned. "No Tami, not like seeing Zim. I told you, he is a bad alien!"
"Is not!" She argued.
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is NOT!"
"IS TOO!"
"NOT!"
"TOO!"
"NOT TIMES FOREVER!"
"TOO TIMES FOREVER AND BACK!"
"There is no such thing!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!
"Is…"
"SHUT UP!" Gaz screamed. "I expected that from Tami, but Dib, you are such a idiot!"
I shrugged apologetically. And Gaz was right; I was the oldest. I should know better. "Okay. I guess it wouldn't hurt to show Tami how evil Zim can be. All we have to do is make sure to keep a good distance away from him." I said.
Tami squealed in delight. She ran off to her temporary room to change or something. Why do girls do that before leaving their house? All guys have to do is get up, and walk out…
"You are not going out like that, are you?" Gaz asked me, pointing at my hair.
I paused. "Um…no."
Today, I couldn't just get up and leave. And these braids are going to be a monster to get out.

Here is a fun fact about Tami. She doesn't know how to braid hair. She ties knots. (Sighs)
Tami was all ready down stairs. She giggled at my hair, which is now sticking up and out in the strangest directions. It will take days for my hair to return to normal.
The Game Slave once again distracted Gaz. Tami could of burned down the house and she would have never had noticed.
I sighed heavily and took Tami by the hand. "Lets go…"
It wasn't a very far walk to Zim's home. But if you had to listen to the random chanting of a child for the whole way, you would have to literally cling to lamppost to keep yourself from hurting the brat… or from jumping in front of a bus. Whatever came first?
And now the gods of chaos is working overtime. Tami is now talking about my name.
"Dib rhymes with fib! And with Kib, sib, nib, limb, did, Dibby, Didib up di do…."
"ENOUGH!" I yell. I pointed across the street. "Look, there is Zim's home. See how it is glowing? That is because all the generators inside." I explained.
Tami looked at me as if I was insane. "Generators don't make a house glow! Holograms do."
I blinked. "Um… Yeah. I guess that's a possibility. But there is no way you can know for sure."
Tami turned pale for a second. "Yeah… nope! No way! Lalalalala…."
What is wrong with this kid? I couldn't help but to think she had some sort of ADD or ADHD.
"Anyway…" I said, with a hint of suspicion. "We… I. I am going inside to take a few photos. You are going to stay here, where it is safe. I'll come out and show you the photos and you can see the PURE EVIL-NESS OF IT ALL!" I shouted dramatically, pointing at the sky. Tami looked up, to see what I was pointing at.
"Oh, a pretty bird! HIII BIIRDYY!!!" She screamed, waving at a crow that was flying overhead.
I had to admit, that was a bit adorable. But this was no time for child's play! I pretended to be annoyed.
"Uh huh… yes. Well, just stay here… DON'T MOVE. I will be right back. STAY!" I walked backwards towards the house to make sure she was staying put. She wasn't moving, but did seemed a bit upset that I was treating her like an untrained puppy.
I felt for a doorknob, still having my back turned, and quickly opened and closed the door. Once inside, I sighed. Okay. Its time to focus…
"WHAT YOUUUUU DOI'N?" Screamed a metallic voice. I screamed in surprise and dropped the camera in hand. The lens made a loud cracking noise when it hit the ground.
I fell to my knees. "Why me? No, really, why me?" I asked the ceiling.
Gir gave me a quick hug and ran off into the living room. I hate that robot.
Zim walked came out of his toilet… god that is so gross. He glares at me. "Dib-Stink, what are you doing here… and with a broken camera?"
I glared back. "For you information, Gir broke it!"
Zim snickered. "Yes, and once more, I AM THE VICTOR! Victory for Zim!" He cheered.
I groaned in annoyance and got up. "I got to go, have fun gloating."
"ZIM IS NOT A GOAT!"
"…Right." I opened the door to get out when Tami ran inside. "Tami! I told you too…"
Tami ignored me and ran up to Zim. She grinned widely. "Hi!" She greeted in a squeaky noise.
Zim looked at her and back at me. "The female earth drone is…"
I rolled my eyes and took her by the arm. "Is what Zim? Annoying you? Get used to that, she does that a lot."
Zim shook his head. "No… She is just… Ugh… Familiar."
I was still dragging Tami to the door. "Unless you've been to Canada, that isn't possible."
Zim looked at me strangely. "Canada is a planet?"
I promptly slammed the door shut.
I hate Zim.
Tami was skipping off without me. I quickly followed after. Already, I could tell that this school year was going to be exhausting.
