Chapter 2: May
"I'm Dib" Dib turned to see the girl who asked his name.
She had blonde-ish brown-ish hair that started big by her head, then came thinner and thinner to her neck, had spiky ends, and some of it swooped slightly over her right eye. Her eyes were like Zim's contacts, but instead of blue, they were brown. She had a short-sleeved purple shirt with a long-sleeved white under-shirt. She also wore dark wash jeans and white shoes, and was about 5'5.
"Wow" thought Dib, " a kid who is actually…..normal!"
The girl continued "I'm May."
"Nice to meet you, May!" Dib looked up at her. "You're pretty tall for a kid your age, y'know?"
May laughed a bit. "Like I haven't heard that before."
Dib laughed. "Yeah."
Dib and May stood silent for a few seconds until finally May spoke.
"So, should we get going?"
Dib snapped out of it. "Oh yeah!" Lead the way!"
May started to walk toward the exit. Dib followed her, until he turned around to look at where the other kids were.
No Zim.
May stopped and noticed Dib had stopped. "You coming?"
Dib started walking toward May. "Yeah."
May was leading the way to her house with Dib close behind. They walked up to a regular looking two-story house with a white fence. In the front yard was an older boy, about 5'7, with short brown hair with sideburns and a short beard, wearing a white sweaty t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops. He was listening to music and mowing the lawn.
Dib tugged on May's hand to get her attention, pointing to the boy. "Is that-
May cut him off. "-my brother?"
"Yeah, is he?"
"Yeah. I have a very unique sibling."
"Tell me about it."
May smiled at Dib. She opened her mouth to speak when…
"DIB!"
Dib looked ahead, furious. "Zim! Where were you!?"
May looked ahead and gasped at what was arguing with Dib. He had green skin with black hair, and wore a pink uniform with thin black stripes and sleeves. He also wore black gloves, boots, and pants, and had a polka-dot pack on has back. Next to him was a very tall metal man with black hair, a black suit and black tie with wheels for feet. He was also slightly short-circuiting.
May was so stunned she fell on her back.
Zim, completely ignoring May, laughed at Dib's question. "Silly Dib! I just left before you did, with my wonderful study subject of course!" Zim smiled, and gestured to the robot.
The robot waved and spoke in a deep voice. " Hello lady and big head Mary."
Dib was furious. "MY HEAD'S NOT BIG! AND you would never team up with a-" He paused and looked confused. "Wait, my name isn't Mary."
May was finally able to use one arm to hold herself up, and use the other to point at Zim. "W-w-w-w-wh-WHAT ARE YOU!?"
Dib turned to May. "I'll tell you what he is! He's an alien trying to-!" He suddenly saw it.
She knew Zim wasn't human.
Dib's eyes widened at May. "You….." He smiled. "You believe me!?"
May was about to speak when Zim interrupted her for the second time. "Of course she doesn't! I'm perfectly normal!"
May got up. "NO YOU'RE NOT! YOU'RE AN ALIEN!"
Dib jumped for joy. "YES! SOMEONE BELIEVES ME!
Zim smiled. "Not for long, Dib!
Dib, seeing May was in danger, grabbed her hand and ran off in the direction of his house.
"GIR!" yelled Zim.
GIR jumped out of the metal man suit smiling."Yeeesssss?"
"Capture the two, and bring them to Zim!"
GIR stood silently.
Zim frowned. "You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?"
"Na-uh!"
Zim thought and thought until, "If you capture the Dib and his new-" He shuddered. "-friend, I'll give you those, tacos you love so much!"
GIR gasped and spun his head around and saw Dib and May running. His eyes glared and turned red as he flew off after them.
Zim raised his fists in triumph "YES GIR! OBEY YOUR MASTER! FOR I AM ZIIIIIM!"
GIR flew off in the distance after Dib and May.
"FOOOOOOOR THHHHHHHEE TAAAAAACOOOOOOOSSS!"
The boy in the front yard took out his earplugs and looked at Zim.
"'Sup?"
Zim raised an invisible eyebrow in confusion.
The boy shrugged, put his earplugs back in, and kept mowing completely unaware of what had just happened.
