My fist struck the alarm clock multiple times before my fingers found the off button. After the epic battle, I laid my head back down and was half asleep when the door opened and someone walked in. At first, I thought it was Gir or Mini Moose since Mini Moose had dragged Gir out earlier. But, when the figure cleared their throat I knew it wasn't either of them.
"Jinx, you need to get up to assist the almighty Zim." Zim said while poking me. I picked my head up and looked at him. It was the first time since I got here that Zim didn't yell out his name or be dramatic about anything. Zim just looked down at me with his crimson eyes.
"Alright Zim, I'm getting up." I mumbled as I sat up and yawned. We stared at each other for a minute before I pointed out that in order for me to get ready, he had to leave. Zim just nodded and walked out.
After a shower and getting dressed, I grabbed my messenger bag and walked downstairs. Zim was trying to get some contacts in when I walked into the kitchen.
"Zim? You need some help?" I asked as I walked over and picked up the other contact. Zim shook his head as he attempted still. Zim stopped for a moment when he noticed that I was looking at him with an expecting look on my face.
"Zim doesn't need help from ANYONE!" He said, going back to the way he was yesterday, and going back to his attempting. I sighed and grabbed the contact from him.
"It never hurts to ask for help, Zim." I said as I pointed to a chair for him to sit on. He walked over and sat while I applied the blue contacts. "See? Not so hard when you get some help." I said as he stood up and picked a shaggy black wig from the table.
"Well, Zim doesn't help from you to get ready besides that." He said as he started walking around the oddly colored living room, muttering something about converse.
"Is he always like that?" I asked Gir while watching Zim hunt for his shoes. Gir nodded with a taco hanging out his mouth.
"Master has been like this forever." Gir answered when he partially swallowed. "He's never been any different." He continued to explain while swallowing the rest.
"I see, so did he always look like that?" I asked while looking at the two little robots.
"Squeak." Mini Moose said as he nudged a photo of Gir and Zim in disguise towards me.
"Wow." I said while trying not to laugh at Zim's dress like outfit and Elvis wig. "He has changed." I observed as I looked at the Zim in the living room, who had found his converse and was now trying to get them on. The fourteen year old Zim wore a pink and black stripped shirt, black skinny jeans, and black converse. The skinny jeans were defiantly better than the spandex looking pants in the picture. (It's my story and I want to make Zim a little more mature sounding so shut up about it!!!)
"Are you ready to go Jinx?" Zim asked as he stood up from winning his epic shoe battle. I nodded and began to follow when Mini Moose stopped me.
"I saved you some tacos for lunch. Master always complains about the food at skool." Gir said as he handed me a Krazy Taco bag and Mini Moose pushed me out the door.
"Thanks guys!" I yelled as they shut the door and put the bag in my bag. Zim was waiting for me on the sidewalk when I reached the end of the yard and we began walking to skool.
"So any warnings about things I need to watch out for?" I asked as we walked.
"Ah, you asked the MIGHTY ZIM for advice? Well, don't eat the food, watch out in gym, and beware of the stinking Dib-human." Zim said the last part while breaking a random pencil.
"Who's Dib-human?" I asked as we turned a corner to be greeted by a boy who was taller than both of us. He wore a blue shirt with a grey, neutral smiley, black skinny jeans, black boots, and a trench coat. On his face were glasses and his hair formed a point of some sort.
"That's the Dib-human." Zim said as he grabbed my arm and tried to drag us past Dib-human.
"What?! You've got a hostage!? Don't worry! I'll save you from this alien scum!" Dib-human yelled as he grabbed me and pulled me towards him. I hissed and bit his arm on impulse.
"OW! What was that for!? I was saving you!" He yelped and held his arm. I ran behind Zim.
"You okay Jinx?" Zim asked as he looked at me.
"NO! He grabbed royalty! HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE ME LIKE THAT, PEASANT SCUM!" I yelled as I stood behind Zim. The Dib-human just looked at me.
"What?" He asked as he titled his head.
"I AM JINX! PRINCESS OF VAMPTOPIA! And the assistant of Zim! You just grabbed me, peasant!" I yelled, sounding somewhat like Zim, who looked like he was going to laugh.
"What's Vamptopia?" Dib-human asked as he stared blankly at us.
"I see why you don't like him, this peasant scum doesn't have a clue." I said as I turned to looked at Zim and continued walking. Zim giggled and pointed at the clueless Dib-human.
"Oh Jinx, I think this assistantship will work out great." He said while still giggling as we approached the building that read SKOOL. Zim lead me inside and to the classroom. I looked around at all the odd children in there, they stared back at me. Zim had walked over to the desk where an old looking teacher sat to tell her a new student was here. She nodded, looked at me, and stood up.
"Class, this is our new student Jinx." She said as she stood next to me. "If you have anything to say, say it now because I don't want to hear a peep out of you for the rest of the year." She said while looking down at me. I nodded and looked at the class.
"Hello fellow peers, I'm Jinx. If you make me mad, I will kill you. Otherwise, nice to meet you!" I said with a smile as some of the kids looked at me with scared looks. I looked back at the teacher, who's name tag read Ms. Bitters.
Ms. Bitters pointed to a random kid behind Dib and yelled, "You! You're going to the underground classroom!" And the child was thrown into a pit with the seat left empty. I went over and sat behind Dib, who gave me a confused look when I passed by and took my seat.
"Now class, open your text books to page 364 and start memorizing all the words in italics!" Ms. Bitters demanded as she sat down and started repeating doom over and over. I opened my text book and began reading when a note fell onto my desk.
Are you really an alien? The note asked, I looked up to see Dib trying not to act suspicious.
I'm not an alien, I'm a vampire. I wrote back and aimed right at his head. It hit, Dib grabbed his head to get the note and rub the spot that was my target. A moment later, the note was back on my desk.
But you're not from Earth, so you must be an alien. Dib seemed to be the argumentative type, so I decided to save him the effort.
Your ideas of aliens and my ideas of aliens are very different Dib. I replied and flung at his head again. After he scribbled his answer and rubbed his head, the note was returned to me again.
How so? I'd like to see what you think. Dib's smug answer made me irritated. 'Easy Jinx, he's just a little peasant scum bag. He needs to be educated by his superior.' I reminded myself so I didn't kill him.
Well dear peasant scum, an alien is an outsider. They don't belong or fit in with the society they've joined. Your idea of an alien is someone with green skin who flies a spaceship and uses their finger to make a call. And just so you know, I use phones. I wrote back, feeling smug because I had put the peasant in his place. A few minutes later, the note landed in my text book with a reply.
But you're still an outsider to our society, therefore, you are an alien. The note said. 'Damn, the peasant scum is more intelligent than I thought.' I had to have a sarcastic and smug comeback before my pride was ruined.
I'm no alien, I'm a vampire. Get it right peasant scum. But Zim told me all about your pestering, so don't even waste your time. You can't prove anything while I'm around. So go back to watching Mysterious Mysteries and thinking you saw Big Foot in your garage. I wrote back.
How did you know all that!? We only met this morning! Dib's writing was shaky, as if he was scared. This made me smile evilly.
You see peasant scum, I know a lot. Just know who you're going to war with. I answered smugly with a smirk on my face. Suddenly, the bell rang. Classes were over for lunch and the kids poured out of the room to go get the food that would probably kill them in years to come.
"We'll see about that. I'm ready for anything." Dib said as he stood up and looked at me, determination in his eyes. I just looked at him and watched him leave. At the doorway, Zim stood impatiently waiting for me. I grabbed my bag and walked to the lunchroom with Zim.
'Well, well peasant scum. You've seemed to gain a small spec of respect from me for taking the challenge. We shall see.'
