Hello readers of my story. I know I updated yesterday, but I didn't want to wait any longer. I have nothing else to do.
So this is where the story picks up dramatically. It is also the longest chapter I have written so far.
Disclaimer - I do not own Invader Zim, if I did every episode would have a random ostrich running through it.
Chapter 2 – What Happened To Me?
(Dib's POV)
Cold water hits my face and I jolt awake. Upon sitting up, I am grabbed by my collar and come really close to Gaz's angry face.
"Who the hell are you and why are you wearing my dorky brother's clothes?" she demands as she tightens her grip on me.
"G-Gaz, i-its m-m-me." I stutter as I try to pull back for some face space. "I-its D-D-Dib!"
She throws me to the ground and I stand up. I turn my gaze to the mirror and scream again. In the mirror is not the image I have grown accustomed to seeing, even if it is really fuzzy. From what I can tell with my now blurry vision, in the mirror is a girl with jet black hair that frames her face. Her eyes are somewhat hidden by thick glasses, but you can still see her amber irises.
She is wearing my clothes, but the jeans and trench coat are to big, and the shirt is way to small for her breasts. My guess is she is a B cup, like Gaz. But, what would I know, I'm only a guy who's never had a girlfriend.
"You're my lame older brother?" Gaz asks me skeptically. "Yeah right, sister. Firstly my brother is a boy, not a girl. And secondly, in no way would my brother be hot if he was a girl."
"But, I am Dib." I protest as I hold my hand up to the glass. The image in the mirror moves with me and I scream again.
"Shut up!" my sister growls. "God, you sound like a damn cheerleader who discovered a brown hair on her empty blonde head. If you really are my stupid brother, tell me something only Dib would know." She demands with her hands on her hips.
"Like what?" I ask her, turning away from my shocking appearance.
"Tell me Dib's favorite pastime." She challenges.
"Investigating the paranormal and preventing Zim from taking over the world." I say instantly in a monotone voice.
Gaz crosses her arms and squints at me. "That was to easy, any dumb monkey could have told me that."
I shrug and look at my hand, which now has nails on it! I have fucking nails!
"What curse did Dib give me, that made me destroy his haunted gummy bear collection?" Gaz demands.
I shudder at the memory of that horrible experience. "I used a spell point to give you the Sense of the Shadow Hog, which made it so you could only eat hot dogs."
"Why did I save Dib's ass from Zim?" she asks me, her arms still crossed.
"Which time?" I counter.
"Zim's space station." She replies smirking.
"Simple. It was your turn to pick where family night was, but dad wouldn't go to Bloaty's Pizza Hog unless I was there with both of you. You also saved me from being turned inside out. Zim came after us, but he was freaked out by the Bloaty Bots." I snicker behind a long finger-nailed, slender, girly hand.
Gaz uncrosses her arms and actually looks shocked for once. "You are Dib…nobody knows about that except for me, him, and Zim."
"Told ya." I say smugly as I hike my pants back up.
"What the hell happened to you? You're a girl for fucks sake!" she screams at me.
I hold up my hands in defeat. "I don't know! I just woke up, got dressed, and came in here where I saw my blurry reflection." I explain.
"You forgot the part where you screamed and passed out." My sister snickers. I growl at her and flip my long black hair out of my face. "Ok, what did you do last night?" Gaz asks me when she finally stopped laughing.
I scratch my head and think. "Nothing. I came home from skool, did homework, made dinner, and slept on the roof. Strange thing is, I woke up in my room and not on the roof." I tell her.
"Anything happen while you were on the roof?" she asks me.
I shake my head. "No…well I did wish on a shooting star, but that's nothing." I tell her as I straighten my shirt.
"What exactly did you wish?" Gaz asks me, curiosity laced throughout her voice. I think this is the longest we have ever talked without her telling me to shut up or she'll kick my ass.
"Umm…I think I wished that I could start over and that everything was different." I tell her.
"Well there you go. "She tells me like I'm stupid. "You wished to be different, so you were turned into a girl."
"Yeah, a girl who can't fucking see!" I exclaim as I wave a hand in front of my face, but I can't see it. I can only see the color.
Gaz reaches for my glasses. "Here you retard." She says taking them off. Suddenly I can see everything with such intense detail that I never got with them on as a boy.
"You look a lot cuter without them." Gaz comments as she hands them back to me.
I look over in the mirror. She was right! Instead of a blurry vision I can see everything. My hair reaches the middle of my back and has layers, my bangs are long and keep falling in my eyes, speaking of eyes…my eyes are still an amber color, and I look really cute. I smile at my reflection and wow…just wow…if I was a boy and some girl looked like this, I would totally date her.
"So what am I going to do? How long am I going to be like this?" I ask Gaz, who shrugs her shoulders.
"I don't know, but you need some new clothes. Those aren't going to work for your new girly body, Dib." She points out as my pants fall down. I quickly pull them back up, blushing furiously.
"Sorry, Gaz." I apologize.
"Whatever, Dibra. Let's just get you some damn clothes, so I can go to the fucking hell-hole we call a skool and meet up with my friends." She says walking out of the bathroom.
I follow after her. "What did you call me?" I ask as we walk down the second floor stairs and onto the main floor.
"Dibra. Like Debra, but with Dib." She tells me, giving me a "duh!" look.
She turns to the door leading to my dad's labs, which he uses when he's forced to take vacation days.
"Yes, but why?" I ask as I follow her into the basement lab.
Gaz sighs and looks at me with her squinted eyes. Her attitude clearly said "Shut the fuck up or I kill you."
"I called you Dibra, because you are now a damn girl. Girls aren't called Dib, that's a boy's name." she tells me. Her tone warns me against asking anymore questions, so I just nod and keep my mouth shut.
Gaz looks around a couple of the machines before stopping in front of a circular pod with a computer attached to it. "Get in." Gaz orders as she points to the pod. She glares at me, daring me to argue or ask why. I keep my mouth shut and walk over to the doors, which slide open automatically.
I get in the pod and turn around just as the doors close behind me. I can't see through what had appeared to be clear glass when I saw it before walking in. I start to feel like I'm trapped…and I had every right to.
The pod is filled with a blinding white light and I lift a hand up to shield my eyes. As suddenly as it had come, the light was gone and the doors opened once more.
Yep, it happened. Dib is a chick.
Dudeguy - You are a spoiler, you spoiled it for others. Oh well, I'm sure the summary spoiled it as well. You are forgiven :)
No idea when I'll post the next chapter, maybe in a couple days. I already have it typed out, but I like staying ahead.
Please review, those who don't review shall be forced into penguin infested waters and will be eaten by my flightless birds of DOOM!
