Remember how I said I wouldn't post this chapter until I had chapter 8 written? Well I'm working on chapter 10! And it only took me 2 days! Am I great or what? :3

What what what! I only got 4 reviews for chapter 6? Did I jinx myself when I said I would have around 70 after only 3 updates? Or did you all just abandon me? :'(

Thank you to Invader Cakez, kaitamis, SecretlyTTfanTT, and Tear Drops 1221. You four were the only ones who reviewed chapter 6, and for that I thank you with a special gift... As author of this story I bestow upon you...a CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLE! (if you are allergic to chocolate, I give you a taco) :P

Chapter 6 – Out of Hand

(Dib's POV)

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING THROUGH HIS ALIEN GREEN MIND?

I mean its normal for Zim to scream like that, but normally its at something someone says.

"Zim! Stop talking to yourself in my class or I will call your parents and tell them to love you less!" Ms. Bitters yells at the alien.

The bell rings and everybody dashes to escape any further doom, even if it means going to the cafeteria.

I was bent over putting my book in my backpack when I heard someone stop in front of my desk. I look up and see Torque standing over me. I quickly straighten up in my chair and look at him.

"Can I help you?" I ask him.

"Yeah, how about you join me for lunch, one on one?" he asks me, looking smug like I couldn't refuse.

I stand up from my desk, picking up my bag. "No thanks." I say before walking around him. Sadly I don't get more than a few steps before my elbow is grabbed.

"Did you just turn me down?" Torque asks angrily.

"Umm, yeah. I kinda did, now let me go." I say trying to take my arm back.

Torque's grip tightens and I grimace in pain. "Nobody turns me down." He says quietly and venomously.

The pain is so great that I gasp and almost fall to my knees. "Oww! Let me go!" I whimper as I try to pull his grip off of my poor elbow.

"Let the Earth-female go." A familiar voice demands angrily.

I turn my head and see Zim a few feet away from us. How long has he been standing there?

"Why should I? Its not like you can do anything." Torque challenges.

While distracted by Zim, Torque's grip on my elbow lightened. Using all the force I had within my body, I push my elbow backwards into his gut. He releases my arm to clutch his stomach, which gives me an opportunity to get away.

When Torque straightens, he looks murderous. "Oh, you are going to regret that, princess." He practically growls at me.

I drop my bag and kick it away, before taking a defensive stance. I am not going to be pushed around by Torque, not in this body. This is my new start, and I'll be damned if I get beat up on the first day of skool by a boy.

Torque comes barreling at me but before I can move, a green body puts himself between me and the other human. Spider legs come out of his weird backpack and Zim rises above the ground.

Zim may not have grown much since he got to Earth, but he towers over my now girly body. Add that to his spider legs and his "don't take shit from anyone" attitude, and you would be considered stupid to mess with him.

Torque blanches at the sight of Zim's PAK legs.

"You will leave the Earth-female alone. Do we understand each other?" Zim threatens.

Torque pales dramatically and passes out. Zim lowers himself to the ground and retracts his PAK legs.

"Are you ok?" he asks me.

I pick up my bag and readjust my headband. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks." I say smiling at Zim.

Zim's face goes blue when I smile at him. "So, d-do you wanna e-eat the Earth food with m-me?" he stutters as he looks at the floor.

"Wait, are you asking me to eat lunch with you?" I ask him, tilting my head to the right.

He nods and I swear his face goes a darker blue. Its kinda funny how nervous he is, if he knew who I really was he would yell something about my head and run away.

If you get close to Zim, you could keep him from taking over the Earth. My paranormal male self says.

No! I gave that up months ago, now I'm Dibra. And Dibra doesn't want to be involved with the paranormal. I tell my stupid male self.

You wouldn't have to fight him, just be his friend and distract him from taking over the world. No fighting, no paranormal activity involved. My maleness reasons.

It does have a point. I could befriend Zim and keep him distracted, I wouldn't have to fight.

"I normally eat lunch with my sister," I say. Zim's face immediately falls in disappointment. "but, I'm sure she wouldn't mind eating alone for one day." I say kindly with a smile.

Zim brightens up at once. "Perfect!" he shouts. "You shall eat the disgusting Earth food with Zim!"

I giggle, he is pretty cute when he shouts at nothing. Annoying, but cute.

Wait, what am I saying? He's an alien for crying out loud! I can't think he's cute, this must be the work of girl hormones. I think to myself.

Zim and I exit the classroom, leaving Torque passed out on the floor.

"Why did you stand up for me?" I ask Zim as we walk down the hall.

He tilts his head to the left and looks at me. "Did you wish to remain with the gorilla-bully?" he asks me confused.

"No, no, no!" I say quickly. "It's just, you never stood up for Dib, so why me?"

"You are nothing like the Dib-smell. The Dib was never this cute, and didn't make Zim feel emotions…I mean…I AM ZIM! I can do what I want!" he shouts into the air.

"You think I'm cute?" I ask, truly surprised. I can feel my face go red.

Zim turns a deep shade of blue and I giggle.

"Do not laugh at Zim." he yells at me.

"I'm sorry, its just…well…you're so cute when you blush!" I giggle. "And I find it really sweet that you think I'm cute."

We arrive at the cafeteria doors. I really don't want to go in, what will everyone think of Dibra? Will they all hate me, just like they hated Dib?

"Light bulb!" I shout. Zim looks at me like I'm crazy, I probably look crazy blurting out a random word. "Hey, do you want to go eat outside? I'd rather not face the masses, and I brought my own lunch so I don't need to wait in line." I explain to Zim.

He nods and grabs my hand, pulling me towards the exit and out of the doors.

So what did you think? Pretty good, right?

Should probably mention that I don't like Torque...I think he makes the perfect bully/rapist. And I can say with full honesty he will appear again, mainly because I don't like him and want him to suffer a horrible doom!

I shall never let Jhonen Vasquez out of my closet! Not until he gives me the rights to Invader Zim 3:)

Chapter 7 will be posted either later today or tomorrow morning...possibly around 1am if my dad leaves the computer on. I don't sleep very well...

Review! I love reviews and so does my rabid moo cow, Moo Moo. And for every review I don't recieve, Moo Moo is one step closer to turning ME into hamburgers! Please don't let me be turned into a hamburger! I don't taste good when paired with ketchup and mustard!
