Chappie Three

Emily's POV
Those guards had nearly caught up to us and we were all freaking out, running as fast as our legs could carry us.
But it wasn't easy at all.
"THEY'RE GAINING ON US!" Rosa yelled.
We ran faster.
"This is the fastest I've ever run in my whole life," Janay shouted.
I could've sworn if I were watching myself do this, I would hear freaky music. This was Invader Zim after all.
They were catching up to us still.
"Guys, look." Grace pointed to an escape pod.
"Let's bust out of this place," Annie said, determined.
We all crowded into the escape pod.
"So, who's going to be flying it?" I asked.
We all exchanged looks.
"Rock, paper, scissors," Mica said plainly.
We played until it came down to Gina and Emmy. They put out their hands first.
Gina's hand was in the shape of scissors, and Emmy's was in a rock.
"EMMY'S DOING IT!" I said happily.
Emmy nervously sat down in the controller's seat.
"How is it the guards haven't found us?!" Sha asked.
"They have," Dani said, looking out the window. "They're coming right for the pod."
"EMMY! LAUNCH IT!" Annie commanded.
Emmy pressed that launch button so hard, I could've sworn she broke it.
We screamed in happiness and fear as the pod shot up and up and up...until it stopped.
A look of panic crossed Emmy's face. "How do you fly this thing?!"
"The controls are in front of you, Em. Just fly it that way," I said.
"I-I don't know how to though!"
It wasn't the first time I'd seen Emmy so worried.
"Wait...look, it's an autopilot button." I was relieved.
Emmy smacked THAT button and a woman's voice said, "Where would you like to travel?"
A holographic screen popped up and there were choices of planets.
One of them read "Secret Planet".
"That's probably Earth," Dani observed.
"Yeah, I'm guessing," Emmy seemed calm again as she touched the planet with her finger.
"Setting a course for: Secret Planet. This may take up to twenty-four hours to finish," the voice said, causing us all to collectively groan.
For the whole twenty-four hours we sang songs, some of us singing solos, and soon, after more than twenty-four hours, the voice announced the course was set and we blasted off.
"I'm bored!" Annie complained.
"This could take six months!" I remembered the first episode, earning another collective groan from us.
"What would we do for six whole months?" Gina asked curiously, looking at Alyssa.
Emmy smirked. "I'm gonna sing the doom song now!"
"Ohhh no," Grace said. Emmy started singing "Doom" over and over again and we all lay back, thinking what could we do for the six months, and enduring Emmy's torturous song! "Doom, doom, doo, doo, doom, doo, doom, doom, doom!..."

Emmy's POV
I really don't see what their problem is! I only sang "The Doom Song" for one whole day and then I realized I was not a stupid robot like GIR (I love him anyway), so I couldn't sing "doom" over and over until we reached Earth.
"I am so hungry," I said randomly.
"For what?" I heard the voice say. I was surprised.
"Ummm...WAFFLES!" I said as hyper as GIR.
A robotic hand held out a plate of steaming hot plate of waffles with butter and syrup. I grabbed the thing, getting the sticky syrup all over me, but I found myself eating the waffles with my hands.
The other girls were laughing, commenting I ate messier than GIR did.
"Anything else?" the voice asked.
"Yeah!" Gina shouted. "A DP!" She made the "e-e" face.
The robotic hand gave her a DP.
The next six months were anything but horrible. I would mostly call it a luxury. A beautiful luxury. We even got to take showers and since we were in space, we floated.
"You have arrived at your destination. Thank you for flying with us." The voice crackled on, and, once done with its announcement, off. We had been sleeping. Then we peered out of the window and saw...Earth.

Gina's POV
It was amazing. Truly amazing. We were all close to being in Invader Zim. It was a huge dream come true for everyone (mostly).
Emmy was jumping for joy with Sha and Grace, because they got to meet their favorite characters.
Then I realized the pod was going to crash...and my excited feelings evaporated just like that.
"GUYS, WE ARE GOING TO CRASH!" I shouted, sipping my DP accidentally and choking as it went down the wrong pipe.
Before we could do anything, there was a huge "THUD!" and we all stopped floating, falling to the floor one at a time.
Annie threw open the door of the pod, leaped out, and started kissing the ground. "HOME SWEET HOME!" she yelled excitedly.
"Annie, we're not home," Dani reminded her.
"I knooooowwww!" Annie laughed.
"Could we make a house out of this thing?" Sha asked. "Maybe we could move next door to Zim."
"We'd have to annihilate that house that stands next to Zim's in the series," Mica pointed out.
"And how do we do that?" Emily asked.
"Simple." I smirked. "The pod does everything."
2 minutes later, that building near the empty ally, the house, was gone.
We all started drawing a model of the house. I drew the shape, Emmy added windows, Emily drew the door, etcetera.
"This should be like the first episode," Emmy giggled, yanked the drawing board out of Rosa's hands, and threw it onto the ground. She grabbed Lyss, still giggling, and hid behind the fire hydrant. "Come on guys! Do you want to get caught or what?"
I remembered the first episode and joined Emmy and Alyssa. Emily, Rosa, and Grace followed suit and then, the others did it too.
The house miraculously was built. "This is a miracle," I said as I drank my DP.
Then we heard sirens and alarms. Everyone was staring at us.
"Act natural!" I prompted suddenly. The others caught on as we walked (naturally) into the house, slamming the door behind us.
For some reason then, I my eyelids shutting on me, and I fell to the floor.

Mica's POV
My eyes snapped open and they flew over to the clock. 12:00 AM. Where were the others?
I saw Dani standing before me. "What do you want?" I teased. We were fake "rivals".
"Everyone is outside. Zim is here." Dani said, her eyes sparkling.
"NO WAY!"
We ran outside and saw that abnormal purple house that belonged to no other than Zim.
Zim, who was hiding behind the same fire hydrant we had hid behind. He grabbed his little dog by a leash and dragged him inside the house. The door was slammed as Zim's "parents" greeted him. Zim and GIR were gone.
Emmy and Sha's hearts sank, but Em reminded them about starting skool the next day, and how Zim would come. This got us excited and upset (upset about starting skool, of course).
CUT TO THE NEXT DAY
"KMATTAR!" Alyssa shouted. She was staring at a boy, her age, who was pretty cute. Lyssa ran up to him and hugged him.
"Lyssie! You ended up in Invader Zim too?" The supposed "Kmattar" asked.
"Yah!" Alyssa continued hugging him.
"Are you going to skool?"
"Yah!" Lyssa said again.
"I'll walk with you," He and Lyssa started walking ahead. According to Emmy, his real name was Kenneth Mattar and they knew each other through Facebook. They were also boyfriend and girlfriend and hadn't talked in a long time. They had finally reunited just now, so I figured they deserved some alone time! I would want that with Craig.
Soon, we made it to the skool and we were busting through the doors shortly.

Janay's POV
We ran almost as fast as we did from those guards, to the office in the "Skool." Yup, that's right. Skool. It was actually spelt that way instead of "School"! This world was crazy and obviously messed up.
We struggled to push open the heavy door to the office and we all had to work together to open it. Once we got inside, a few of us collasped onto the floor.
"Can I help you?"
We looked and saw a silhouette of a man holding a beaver. The way the question was asked, it seemed evil and our mouths dropped open.
"That's just the principal," Kmattar said, comforting Alyssa.
"Are you girls new here?" The principal of the "skool" said.
"Uhm...yes," Grace said.
"We would like to be put in Ms. Bitters' class please!" Sha said out of the blue.
"Nonononono," some of us mouthed.
"Okay," the principal said, then laughed maniacally.
"Annie, are you as freaked out as I am?" Dani asked, grabbing onto Annie.
"Um, yeah?" Annie said as if it was obvious.
"What class are you in?" Alyssa asked Kmattar as the evil principal led us down the hall.
"Well, I'm in Mrs. Reed's class," Kmattar said. "And I should be getting there now."
Lyss hugged Kmattar one last time before we walked into the classroom.
"NEW STUDENTS?!" Ms. Bitters said. She was on the phone when we saw her. Then she looked at us and said, "Ugh, they're here." She slammed the phone down on the receiver.
"Class, we have twelve new students." She introduced us one by one. "Now say what you need to say and never speak ever again."
We performed our formal introductions and then looked around, realizing we had nowhere to sit.
Ms. Bitters pushed down a button on her desk and twelve people throughout the classroom fell out of their desks.
"Where they they go?" I inquired a bit timidly.
"To the underground classroom. NOW SIT!"
Emmy grabbed a seat next to a girl with purple hair, Sha took a seat next to where Zim would probably end up sitting, Grace sat near a kid with glasses and scythe-like hair, and the rest of us took back seats.

Michelle's POV
I had become less concentrated on all the horrible things and had started talking with Lyssa, one of my best friends.
We were talking about Kmattar and my boyfriend, Victor. It was getting so sweet and we were talking about kissing and such.
Then we saw Zim. He stood at the front of the room with Ms. Bitters.
"Class, I would like to introduce the newest, hopeless appendage to the student body. His name is... Zim. Zim, if you have something to say, say it now, because after this moment, I don't wanna hear another sound from you!" Ms. Bitters said to our class and then Zim.
"Hello, friends. I am a perfectly normal human worm baby," Zim said, causing Sha, Emmy, and Grace to burst out laughing and Zim giving them a look basically wondering, "Why are you laughing?"
Honestly, I was curious too.
Everyone else looked uninterested. Except for the guy with the glasses. Dib. His mouth was hanging open. A girl who I talked to earlier, named Sara, was picking her nose now. It was absolutely gross and changed my opinion of her, sort of. I turned
"You have nothing, absolutely nothing to fear from me. Just pay no attention to me and we'll get along just fine." Zim finished. Sha looked like she had hearts in her eyes.
"Take your seat now, Zim," Ms. Bitters ordered.
So, Zim walked to a seat in between Sha and a boy named Brian. Sha whispered, "Hi." to Zim, but he ignored her. However, he glanced at her with the tiniest bit of interest.
"Today's lecture is about outer space... and how it will eventually implode in on itself!"
"Bor-ing!" Emily whispered to me. I nodded and agreed.
We saw Zim stand in front of Emmy, me, Emily, and the others, except for Sha and Grace on his desk.
"Yes, Zim?" Ms. Bitters asked.
"In the event of, say, a full scale alien invasion, how prepared do you think this planet's defenses would be? Tell me!"
"As I was saying, the universe is just doomed. Doom, doom, doooooom!"
A bug crawled across Ms. Bitters' face. We winced. It was as annoying as Emmy's doom song.
I knew the rest of the skool day was going to be a long day...
