Strange Happenings

Part One: Fragments of Doom

There was space all around; an infinite void of nothingness, except for one small object. The object had tentacles and floated through the void of space containing two occupants. One was seething with hatred. The other was lying inert in a pile.

"I'll get you Zim," the seething one swore, "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do!"

The inert one just sat there motionless, mainly because it was inert.

"MiMi!" yelled the seething one.

The inert one sprang to life.

"Yes, my master!" it replied.

"Plot a course back to Earth," the seething one said, her purple eyes gleaming, "I've got an idea…of doom!"

The seething one started to laugh a hideous laugh accompanied by MiMi.

The skool bell rang, as usual.

Everyone took his or her seat in Ms. Bitters' classroom, waiting for their heads to be filled with despair. Today would be mildly different, though.

"What! Again!" the dark teacher screamed into her telephone. She them slammed the phone down, causing it to burst into flames.

"Class," Ms. Bitters announced, "To celebrate overcrowding in schools yet again, we have a new student. His name is Karo."

A boy dressed entirely in grey walked into the classroom. He had silver hair and piercing, silver eyes.

"Now, Karo," Ms. Bitters said, "If you have something to say, say it now, for after this, I never want to hear a peep out of you again!"

"Wow you're angry…" Karo muttered, then he turned towards the class and said, "Hello, my name is Karo. My favorite color is grey."

"Wow," Ms. Bitters replied, "That was pointless. Now let's see," Ms. Bitters pointed at one child near the front, "The Letter M, I dislike you. You will be sent to the underground classroom so Karo will have a place to sit."

A hole appeared underneath The Letter M's desk and he fell down. Karo took his seat.

"Now then," Ms. Bitters said, "Our lesson today is about how much bigger Dib's head is going to get. Dib, come up here!"

The rest of the class period was sort of boring. Karo took notes on people and soon learned that Dib believed the one named Zim to be an alien, but everyone else believed he was crazy. Zim had green skin and acted weird. Suddenly, the lunch bell rang and all the kids filed their way out to lunch.

"Maybe this will be better," thought Karo, "A new beginning, as long as they don't find out…"

Meanwhile, at Zim's house, a little robot was watching a television. He was watching a show with people chanting and doing strange rituals involving cheese. Suddenly, the robot's eyes went from turquoise to crimson red.

"Yes, my new masters," he said, "I will obey your will!"

Suddenly, the robot's eyes went back to their normal color and the robot ran around singing a song about a squirrel until he fell asleep and dreamt about pigs.
