Chapter 1

        A New Beginning

             It was bright and sunny. The first day of High Skool was starting. It's been one year since the incident with Tip and her friends. 

             Rays of light from the sun shine on Tip's silver hair through the window. Dib sits in the seat behind her in the last row. 

              Tip didn't really enjoy High Skool because all her friends weren't always with her. Each class had one or none of her friends. Clem wasn't in any of her classes.

               Tip sighed. Dib looked at her glistening silver hair. It amazed him. He thought it was beautiful yet horrible because it reminded him of everything that happened. Tip wasn't fond of it though because it reminded her as well. She tried to dye it, but the next day the silver would be back. Every time she cut it her hair would grow back the same length in minutes. She couldn't change it. 

                 "Thank god Mrs. Bitters is gone forever!" Dib muttered to himself

           Tip laughed quietly in her seat. Dib blushed and smiled. He didn't think she would hear him nor did he think she would laugh! 

            The bell rang and it was time for next class. This time Zim was in her class. She sat next to him in the second row. 

             Zim was playing with his pencil as always. "Shouldn't he be concentrating on this stuff if he wants to rule the world or whatever?" Tip thought to herself.

             Tip wrote something on a piece of paper then crumbled it into a ball and chucked it at Zim's head. 

              Zim dropped his pencil into his lap when the paper hit him in the side of his head. He opened the paper.

                   "Good thing Dib isn't in any of your classes so far right?" The paper said.

           Zim chuckled and started to scribble something on the paper. He tossed the paper ball to Tip.

                   "His big head would distract me from learning this human filth!" The paper said when Tip unravelled it.

            Tip started to laugh. She wrote something and threw it back.

                    "So playing with your pencil is learning? ;)" The paper said with a smiley face

                    "I'M LEARNING!! ;)" Zim, who was meaning to yell in his note, wrote the smiley as well thinking it was what humans always write.

              Back and forth the paper ball flew behind the teacher's back. Zim made a joke and Tip laughed. Zim smiled. Then he started to think about what Dib said to him. 

               "Then may the best man win!"

       Zim also thought about how they agreed to fight for Tip a year later so that way everything that has happened could clear up first. The fighting would begin on the first day of High Skool. Today.

        Zim and Tip stopped smiling when the teacher turned around. Tip hid the paper ball in her lap. When the teacher turned back around, Zim and Tip smiled at each other. 

         It was time for science class now. Zim walked in to find Tip sitting in a chair by herself at the middle table. 

                 "Zim you sit next to Tip," The teacher said

         Zim blushed. Of course he sat next to her in History, but he would have to sit really close to her in science.

          Tip smiled and waved. This made him blush more. He sat in the chair next to her. The smell of her hair was pleasant and surprisingly made him calm. He stopped blushing and smiled softly. 

            Tip put on goggles and a lab coat. She reminded Zim of Dib every time he looked at her. Zim choked "To think the thing that I loved could remind me of someone I hate so much! " he thought. Tip tied back her unusually long hair into a pony tail like she always used to do. Her hair accidentally brushed across Zim's face as she was swinging it around.

              Zim stopped thinking about how she reminded him of Dib and calmed at the smell and softness of her hair. He put on the goggles and lab coat. Tip laughed at him.

                  "What?" Zim asked, his hands on his hips.

                  "You look like Dib!" Tip laughed

               Zim started to throw a fit. Apparently this science garb made everybody look like Dib. Tip stopped laughing when she looked at the perfectly white coat. It reminded her of Yukio and Seiko. 

           Zim saw her frown and started to speak.

                   "Uhm...how much of this should I put in here again?" Zim asked confusedly

                   "Oh haha not that one this one!" Tip said cheerfully

            Tip leaned over across Zim to get a test tube filled with green liquid. Zim could smell her hair even more now. Her head was brushing against his chest. He thought about the time when she fell asleep on him. 

             When Zim was distracted by his day dream he started to pour the yellow liquid that was in his hand into the beaker. 

                   "Huh?" Tip looked "I SAID NOT THAT ONE!"

             BOOM!! The beaker blew up and there was what looked like white foam all over Zim and Tip. Tip had an annoyed look on her face, but it quickly turned into a smile.

                   "Pfft...Ahahahaha!!" Tip laughed as she started to wipe off the foam

                   "Heh heh," Zim chuckled "I thought she was going to KILL me!" Zim thought to himself

                   "Zim wake up! Both of you go to the shower rooms to get cleaned up!" The teacher yelled

              Zim walked with Tip down the hallway. Both of them went into separate rooms. Tip was taking a nice shower while Zim was aggressively rubbing his body with a towel to avoid getting burned by the water. 

               By time Zim got out it was already time for the next class. For Zim it was Algebra. Tip went to Literature. When Zim walked into class he saw Dib in the first seat. Both of them put scowls on their faces, but they didn't yell. Zim sat in the first seat in the last row.

               In the middle of class Zim raised his hand.

                    "Yes Zim?" The teacher asked

                    "Yes I would like to use the bathroom," Zim said folding his hands on his desk

                    "Take the pass,"

                 Zim expected the pass to be some type of thing that would blow him up if he tried to leave Skool grounds, but it was actually just a piece of paper. He took it and proceeded to go to the boy's bathroom. His started to throw fits and curse in Irken.

                 The bathroom door opened.

                     "Zim! I know you're in here!" Dib yelled

                     "Duh! I asked to go here didn't I stupid Clujea?" Zim said calling Dib something in Irken

                     "Clujea? I don't know nor care. It's been one year now do you know what that means?" Dib asked

                 Zim walked out of a bathroom stall.

                     "Yes. It's time to see who is worthy enough to win over the Time Girl, Tip," Zim said

                     "Well then I look forward to see what you plan to do to win her. It will probably be a failed attempt just like all your other plans!" Dib gloated

                     "Foolish human! As you may not know I managed to get her to laugh. It is obvious she finds me comedic!" Zim gloated back

                     "Haha yeah? Guess what? I made her laugh too!"

                  Both of them gave each other a death glare.

                     "Haha good luck trying to get Tip's love! By time you come up with a worthy plan she'll already be obeying my commands!" Zim laughed

                     "If you think thats what lovers do you'll never get her love!" Dib smiled and walked out the door.

                  Zim left when class was over. It was now gym.

                  Tip walked out of the girls locker room in short gym shorts and a white shirt with running sneakers. Her hair was in a high ponytail.

                   Dib and Zim walked out with basketball shorts and a white t-shirt. 

                      "Our first activity is Dodge Ball!" The coach yelled and started to describe how the game works "I will uh...now pick two captains!" The coach started to look around "You! Uh spiky haired kid! And you green guy! You two are the captains! Start picking your teams! Spike kid first!" The coach said talking about Dib and Zim

                      "Tip!" Dib said with a smile

                   Tip smiled and gave a highfive to Dib when she walked up to him. Zim scowled.

                      "You!" Zim said pointing aggressively at a tall boy with brown shaggy hair

                      "I got a name! It's Bil!" The tall kid said

                      "Yes yes whatever!" Zim said

                      "Alright...you!" Dib said pointing at a shy girl with black hair and blue eyes

                    The girl walked up to him in silence with her head down. Both boys picked people back and forth until there was nobody left.

                      "I'm gonna crush you ZIM!" Dib said making a fist

                      "FOOLISH EARTH BOY! YOU WILL FALL IN THE HANDS OF ZIIIMMM!!!" Zim yelled

                      Both boys gave a death glare to each other before walking away to their sides of the gym.

                       The whistle blew and everybody started to throw red balls at each other. Zim used most of his teammates as human shields while Dib's team worked together. Though everyone was decent at the game the only person who was extremely good was Tip. 

                       Tip was always good at basically everything she did. She could sing, draw, dance, play sports, fix and build anything. She was genetically engineered to be perfect after all. There was nothing she couldn't do and if there was nobody could figure out what it could possibly be.

                        Tip was throwing balls at lightning speed getting lots of players on Zim's team out. The only ones standing were Zim and Bil on Zim's team and Tip and that shy girl on Dib's.

                         The shy girl did nothing much in the game, but stand there. Nobody even noticed her so nobody threw balls at her. Tip threw a ball at Bil. Bil was too slow to dodge Tip's throws so he got hit in the knee. Tip was about to throw another at the now worried Zim, but something happened.

                             "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" The shy girl ran forward and threw the ball at Zim. The ball lit up in flames and hit Zim straight in the face.

                          Everyone was amazed including Tip. The shy girl stood still then walked into the girl's locker room.

                              "Spike kid's team won! Class dismissed!" The coach yelled

                        Zim got up and was the last to exit the gym. "How did she do that? She's just human!" Zim thought to himself.

                        Tip was also thinking about the shy girl. She went to go talk to her, but the girl was already gone.

                         It was lunch now. This was the only time where Tip could see all her friends in one place during Skool. 

                              "Clem! Why couldn't you take college prep like the rest of us dude??" Tip whined

                              "And get double the work? No way! I'll be smart and stick to general!" Clem said with a smile

                               "Actually college prep class lessons are more fun than general ones. You get to do more fun activities than class work," Dib added

                               "WHHAAA??" Clem asked with her jaw to the ground

                               "And though you do get a lot of homework you don't get it everyday. Only once a week," Zim said

                               "WHHAAA??" 

                               "Yep!" Dib said pointing his fork to her

                               "AAAAWWWWW!!! NOW I WISH I DID DO COLLEGE PREP!!!! UGH! THIS SUCKS!" Clem whined loud

                            Everyone laughed, but Clem wasn't in a laughing mood. All of them ate their lunch while holding many conversations like the rest of the people in the room. Zim ate nothing. Sometimes Dib and Zim would have little quarrels while Tip and Clem just laughed at them. 

                                 "Why hello sister and sister's cute friend!" Clem's brother Dan said sitting down at their table

                                 "HOW CAN YOU BE HERE??" Clem asked

                                 "I walked out of my cafeteria to come here!" Dan said hugging Clem "Come on Sis! Don't you wanna see your big bro?" Dan pouted

                                 "NO! GO AWAY!" Clem yelled through gritted teeth.

                                 "Aww! Maybe your friend here will enjoy my company!" Dan put his arm around Tip's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Would you like me to stay with you?" 

                              Tip blushed. Zim and Dib got angry at the new guy.

                                  "Off! Bug!" Tip said pushing his head away with one finger.

                                  "Aww no fair!" Dan whined

                               Zim and Dib both laughed at Dan when he got rejected. Dan noticed this and got pissed. 

                                  "Tip! Don't be so sour now! You haven't even given me a chance!" Dan said

                                  "How old are you?" Tip asked Dan

                                  "18," Dan responded 

                                  "I'm 2,456 years old. You're too young for me little boy!" Tip said

                              Everyone laughed at him now. Dan gave up for now. All of them talked until lunch was over. Clem went to one of her academic classes while everyone else went to their activity class. Dan left early back to his cafeteria so nobody would see he was gone.

                              Dib and Tip had computer class as an activity while Zim had Wood shop. 

                                   "Alright Class!" The tech teacher said "We are going to learn how to find and get rid of a bug in a code!"

                                   "Easy enough!" Both Tip and Dib shrugged

                                   "Hey class!" The wood shop teacher said "We are going to build a bird house!"

                                   "A wha?" Zim asked

                               Tip and Dib were partners. Dib was writing equations and codes on a white board while Tip was typing on the computer. 

                                In wood shop, Zim was just sitting there while his partner did all the work. Tip and Dib were the first ones to find and get rid of the bug. They did it in 2 minutes! Zim and his partner where the last ones to complete the bird house. It took them the whole class period.

                                The first day of High Skool was now over. Tip and Zim walked home together. Dib and Clem walked the opposite way home. 

                                     "So how was your first day?" Tip asked Zim with a smirk

                                     "Well I almost got in trouble for throwing a paper ball, I blew up the science room, I got hit in the face by a stuuupid ball in gym, I fought with the Dib monkey countless times...stupid Dib! I was bored out of my mind in my other classes and I found out that your friend had a brother. The humans didn't suspect that I was an alien no matter how many times Dib pointed it out so all was well. You?" Zim asked

                                     "Haha well same except I won the dodge ball game, I didn't fight with anyone, I got flirt attacked by Clem's brother, I found and got rid of a computer bug in 2 minutes, and my science partner blew up the room and caused white foam to spill all over me, but besides that the day was alright!" Tip said

                                  Both of them laughed and walked home. Today was a good day for both of them.
