Buh. I think I made the class too fluffy. :c Oh well. Bear with me.

Stupid symbols!! Go away!

...also, the last chapter was too short.

So, have another.

"Ready, Rim?"

"Yes, my Tallest..."

Standing in the teleporter with Kri at his side, his small bag that was his "Condensed Universe" invention holding all his stuff, Rim believed he was ready for anything.

...Sort of.

"Alright, Rim. We won't be contacting you on the other side. Good luck, soldier."

"Thank you, my Tallest," he murmured before a flash of light overtook his senses and his home vanished before him.

"Class!" Ms Bitters hissed and everyone looked up from their own hushed ignoring of her. "According to... the school board... There is to be a Student Exchange where all disgusting students of a class is to change places with a different useless class from a school across the country. Useless... You'll all die!"

Ignoring her, the whole class had started cheering.

"Except for Dib..."

He looked up, shocked, from his thoughts of possible other paranormal investigators across the country.

"What!?"

"No school would accept you. Which means... The next teacher will be stuck with you. Hah... hah hah..." Slithering out of the room, the class stared after her, disturbed by her laughing.

Ms Bitters didn't laugh...

And yet, she had, and they all dismissed it, too excited to be bothered by one of Ms Bitters' odd doings.

Dib, however, slumped in his chair and crossed his arms angrily, glaring at his desk. He cast a glare at Zim and—

He blinked in surprise and sat up when he saw Zim's desk was empty and found himself wondering if he'd even noticed the green kid come in.

"Where's Zim?" he mumbled and Zita groaned along with everyone else.

"Here he goes again," Zita groaned and, instead of testing them, Dib just slumped, crossed his arms, glared at his desk, and brooded.

Rim blinked his eyes a few times against the bright new base, stepping out and rubbing his eyes, feeling distorted. He'd always preferred traveling than teleporters, but he had to admit this way was faster.

"This is pathetic," Kri said flatly, and Rim didn't argue. The lab was relatively small, the huge computer in front of him being a little less updated than his own, and the wires on the roof being open and bare. He saw out-dated lifts to his right, probably to the "base" that helped hide Zim (no, them,) from the inhabitants of this planet.

"Weak," Rim muttered crossly, walking to the computer and putting his hands on the keyboard, looking up. "Computer."

"Yes?" the Computer replied, sounded bored. Rim blinked.

"That's no way to address an Invader," he reprimanded and the Computer yawned; if physically possible, he would have picked his nose. Rim bristled. "Eject personality disk."

"Comin' right up." Doing as he was told, his personality disk slid out and Rim wrenched it from the holder, shutting down the entire base.

"What fool hooks up his Computer to his entire base power core?" he said crossly, putting his own disk in and pushing It shut. A loud whirring was heard and the lights flickered on. "Computer?"

"Here, Sir," a new voice said.

"Bring up personality window."

"Yes, sir." A window popped up on the screen and Rim leaned over the large keyboard, pushing the name marked "Sess".

"Sess?"

"Hello, Rim," a feminine voice replied, sounded very soft. "How was your travels?"

"Good, Sess," he said, sighing at the familiar voice. "Please reprogram the entire base here. Fix the power core to be hooked up to my Haser, and fix yourself, too." He slipped his bag off his shoulders and pulled the zipper open, reaching in and sliding a glowing white ball out. It floated inches above his hand and mechanical arms reached down from the base, taking it from him.

"Yes, sir," Sess replied calmly and it vanished into the circuitry above. "Would you like to explore your new home?"

"House, Sess," he corrected. "This wretched place won't be my home. I have a home on Xarox, remember?"

"Yes, of course," she said, a smile in her voice.

"Your motherly programming always calms me down," he sighed and she laughed a bit. He went to the lifts and Kri, after scanning the place, followed. They went up to the base above and cast an odd look around the kitchen they appeared in.

"Are we... in a toilet?" Kri asked suddenly and Rim looked down. He lifted his foot out of the bowl and water dripped off him, making him give a disgusted face.

"Ew," he said, stepping out with Kri right behind him. "What kind of idiot..."

"Zim," Kri replied, rolling his eyes. Rim muttered crossly and, after summoning Sess to fix it, went into the living room.

"...At least there isn't chocolate dripping from the walls," Rim mumbled, walking to the couch and dropping onto it. "Kri, when does that... education thing on Earth start?"

"8am every morning, Sir. Today, the Skool that Zim was attending is holding an "Exchange", much like Irk's own. One class in exchange for another across the country."

"So, my appearing won't be suspicious..."

"Not at all, Sir," Kri said, a little smirk in place. Rim had one of his own.

"Perfect..."
