Eh, can I skip a few days into the future?
My editor says I shouldn't. (A/N: the editor is me!)
But I will anyways.
So, maybe three days later, I was a lot better. I was staying over at Dib's. You don't even want to know how many times my mom tried to call me.
"G'morning," I said with a grin as I stretched my arms and legs.
"Hey," Dib said. His hair was a mess and I knew mine was too.
Dib went into the kitchen and came back with a cookie.
"For breakfast?" I asked.
"What? Did you want one?"
"No, I'm good," I said as he nommed his cookie. Nom.
"We have Frosted Flakes," he said.
"I get morning sickness," I said. "All the time." (A/N: I have morning sickness every morning so I can't eat breakfast.)
"Oh," Dib said, sitting down next to me. I twiddled my thumbs.
"Is something wrong?" he asked after awhile.
"N-not at all," I said, leaning on his shoulder. (A/N: if you read my other stories, you could probably tell that Dib's shoulder must be comfortable)
He looked at me and I sat back up.
"Any plans for today?" I asked.
"No," Dib said. "It's nice out though. Would you like to go somewhere?"
I thought for awhile.
"How about the park?" I asked. Dib smiled.
"M'kay." He said. "Do you want to go with Zim and Katie?"
"Hmm…no. Just us," I said. "As long as that's okay with you. Then we could see a movie. I have…," I counted some money from my pocket. "Forty three dollars."
"I'll pay for the movie," Dib said. I smiled.
"What do you want to see?" I asked.
"Oh, I heard Grown Ups is out. Why don't we go see that?" (A/N: That's not even showing anymore :1)
"Okay!" I said with a smile. Dib left to get ready and I went to the bathroom to do my hair, get dressed, and brush my teeth and stuff. I was wearing short shorts, sneakers, and a tank top.
I happily skipped out like a little kid on their first day of kindergarten.
"You look happy," Dib said with a smile.
"I am," I said, putting my hands behind my back eagerly.
We walked out the door and I got in his…Mercedes. It was a nice car.
Finally, we ended up at the park and we sat down on a bench.
"What's Mississippi like?" Dib asked after we were there for a bit.
"Boring," I said. "I don't like it."
"How long are you staying here?" he asked.
"Until I'm ready to go back to Mississippi with my mom…who has anger management issues…and always talks about how much she hates my dad…you don't mind me staying awhile…do you?"
"No, it's perfectly fine," Dib said with a smile.
"Thanks," I said, then looked around.
"I love this city," I said happily. "It brings back memories."
"This city's not the same when you're not here," Dib said.
It started to sprinkle.
"Should I sign up for hi skool since I might be out here awhile?" I asked, looking at my nails. Dib nodded and I looked over to my left to see a familiar face.
It was Zita from elementary skool.
"HEY ZITA!" I called. She came over.
"W-who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Candy," I said. "Don't you remember me?"
"No." she said and walked away.
"Candy," Dib said. "No one else is going to remember you. Remember, you cross-dressed as a guy."
"Oh yeah, so no one would figure out that I was a convict…wait…if I have records of being imprisoned…how come I work at Wendy's?"
"You work at Wendy's? I thought you hated work!"
"I do," I said. "But with my dad out of the picture, I had to help my mom out."
"What position did you work?"
"I was a waitress," I said. "I always got big tips though."
"Maybe it's because they think you're cute." Dib said, poking my nose a little.
"Y-you think so?" I asked. "I'm not cute."
"I think you are," Dib said.
Rain began to pour from the sky. I began to get goosebumps because, well I was in shorts and a tank top!
"W-why don't we go to the movies now?" Dib asked.
"Sounds good," I said. We went into his car and turned on the heater.
"Do you have your license yet?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said. "I got it last month."
I began to shiver like crazy and Dib handed me his trench coat.
"Thanks," I said as we stopped at the movies. We got two tickets to Grown Ups and went inside to get popcorn and sodas. We got one big bucket of popcorn and smothered it in extra butter and salt. We went into the theatre and sat towards the middle.
After the movie, we went to the arcade section. I played stacker, Dig Dug, Pacman, Bust a Move, and the crane. Then, we left and went into Dib's Mercedes.
"I had fun," I said with a smile.
"Me too," Dib said. "And well…there's something…I-I've been wanting to tell you since we were kids."
"What is it?" I asked, cocking my head.
"I…I love…" he looked me in the eyes and hesitated. "I love…THIS CAR!"
He rubbed his hand on the dashboard.
"Isn't it great?" he asked nervously.
"Yeah," I said, confused. "I like it a lot."
"It's cool," he said.
"..And you've wanted to tell me since we were kids?"
"Um…yeah," he said. I didn't quite understand that but okay.
We went back to the house and Gaz was there playing a video game as usual. I sat on the couch next to Dib and turned on the TV.
"Y'know what I don't understand?" Dib asked. I looked at him.
"What?" I asked.
"I don't understand how you could have a thousand channels and nothing good on TV."
"I know, right?" I asked. He looked outside.
"Hmm…do you want to go out for Chinese food?" he asked.
"That sounds good!" I said. He grabbed his car keys and we went back into his Mercedes. I realized I was still wearing Dib's trench coat and he hadn't asked for it back yet.
We parked the car and walked into Panda Express. I got chow mien noodles and veggies. (I'm trying to lose weight) And Dib got stir-fry.
We sat down at a table.
"You know what?" I asked, picking up some noodles with my chopsticks.
"What?" he asked.
"I haven't been to a good restaurant since we were kids." I said.
"Neither have I."
I took a bite of my noodles and started to giggle.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Remember that night I slept over at your house when I was dressed as a boy?" I asked with a laugh.
"Yeah, I remember." He said. He began to laugh too. "And then we kissed."
"Yeah," I said. "Those were good times."
We finished our food and went back into his car.
I looked at the clock. It was six already? I turned on the radio and reclined my seat.
We came back to the house and sat on the couch. My cell phone started to ring.
"Aren't you going to answer it?" Dib asked.
"No," I said looking at the caller ID. "It's my mom."
"Oh," he said.
I yawned. I had a long day.
Then there was a knock on the door so Dib answered it. There stood Zim and Katie-Marie.
Snarl.
I still walked over to greet them.
"Hello," I said politely. Zim smiled and hugged me and Kate smiled but didn't say a word.
"Oh, I almost forgot you guys were coming." Dib said.
Katie laughed.
"How could you forget, Dib-human?" Zim asked as they walked in.
We all sat on the couch. I sat between Dib and Zim and Kate sat next to Zim.
"Guess what?" Zim said. "The richest guy in skool, Richard, is having a party. There's gonna be a DJ and everything."
"Oh. When is it?" Dib asked.
"Two days," Katie said. "He says he wants A LOT of people to come."
"Can Candy come?" Dib asked looking at me. "Because if she doesn't go then I won't either."
"Anyone can go." Zim said. "But does Candy even want to go?"
"HEX YEAH I DO!" I screamed. (Like "heck yeah")
"Okay then," Dib said. He handed me a hundred dollar bill.
"W-what's this for?"
"An outfit. You've gotta wear something good."
"Yeah," Zim said. "And Richard loves girls."
I gave him a strange look and Dib put an (Protective) arm around me.
"I can't wait." Katie said. "But the only thing that I don't like is that he flirts with EVERYONE."
I laughed.
"Desperate." I said. "I'm not much to compliment though."
"That's not true." Zim said. "But anyway, we brought a cookie recipe."
"What kind?" Dib asked.
"Chocolate chip. What else would we have brought?"
"A-are you guys staying the night?" Dib asked.
"Oh yeah." Katie said. "Our stuff is in my car."
"Okay. Just get it out when you need it." Dib said. I realized that his arm was still around me.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" I asked. "LET'S MAKE COOKEHZ!"
We all went to the kitchen. I got out all the ingredients we needed for the cookies.
"I like cookies!" I sang. Zim put an arm on my shoulder.
"I know you do." He said then he turned to Katie and drew imaginary circles by the side of his head as if to say I had gone cookoo.
"Ha-ha-ha…" I said, rolling a big pile of unbaked cookie dough.
"W-what are you doing?" Zim asked. I tossed the dough towards him but accidentally missed and hit Katie-Marie.
"OMG I am SOOO sorry!" I said. She gave me an evil smirk, picked up the dough and tried to throw it at me but hit Dib. He grabbed a bag of chocolate chips and started to throw them at everyone and I grabbed an egg and threw it at him, making him laugh.
This lasted until midnight. And at that time, we finally put some successful, un-thrown cookie dough in the oven.
"That was fun." Katie laughed as we all sat on the couch. "I think I want to put on my pj's though. My clothes are filthy!"
"Okay." Dib said. Katie went to her car and pulled her and Zim's stuff out. She came back into the house and took out some pajamas. They were blue with a star pattern on them.
"Well, I guess we're putting on our pajamas then." Dib said, walking to his room. "I'll be out in a bit."
Kate happily went into the bathroom to put her pajamas on. I grabbed a pair that Dib had gotten me that were green and had a picture of a teddy bear on the butt. (XD)
I took my shirt halfway off then glanced at Zim.
"Why are you still here?" I asked. "And quit staring at my belly button!"
He went into the other bathroom and I finished putting on my pajamas. Zim is so weird.
After everyone came out, we took the cookies out of the oven. Then we had to go into the living room and wait for them to cool.
We popped in a movie…hmm…
I wonder what it could be…it was Vampires Suck.
We nommed our yummy cookies during the movie and during the middle, I fell asleep.
I woke up sitting on Dib's lap. And Dib was asleep.
That was strange…I didn't remember falling asleep there.
Ah, well. I could smell breakfast being made so I assumed Kate and Zim were up. Zim was always an early bird…ah, um…Irken…
"It's ready!" Kate sang, waking up Dib.
"C'mon Dib! We have to go to skool!"
He jolted up.
"Oh." He said, standing and stretching. "Hey."
We walked into the kitchen.
"Skool starts in an hour." Zim said as we sat down.
"I need something to wear." I said. Dib looked at Gaz who walked in and grabbed a piece of bacon.
"Gaz," he said. "Could Candy wear one of your dresses today?"
Gaz sighed.
"Fine." She said apathetically, walking away.
After we ate, got dressed, got ready and stuff, we went into Dib's car.
When we arrived at skool, we went to the office and I bought PE clothes, got my schedule, and left.
"Woah!" Dib said, looking at my schedule.
"What?" I asked.
"You have five out of seven classes with me, three with Zim, and four with Katie-Marie." He said.
"First I have…English. Who has English with me?"
"All three of us." Dib said as we headed to class.
