Dib's New Neighbors of Doom!

New Neighbors

(Dib is 17, Gaz is 16, and Pepito is 17)

Chapter 1

It was a dark and stormy night over a small city. Thunder boomed over the blackened sky, and lightning flashed relentlessly. The winds even made a strange howling noise as rain pounded on the window panes of a large house; Not just any house in the county.

A man wearing a white lab coat and goggles cackled in typical mad-scientist fashion."Success! Finally, after much trial and horrific error, my latest work is now complete!" Professor Membrane announced proudly as he held up a casserole (or what was supposed to be a casserole. For a scientist, he couldn't cook to save his life).

At the very moment of his announcement, a bolt of lightning had struck, causing a black out in the house. Everything went dark. Within seconds, a loud scream was heard."GREAT! JUST GREAT! THAT STUPID OUTAGE JUST WIPED OUT MY HIGH SCORE!" Gaz furiously screamed from her room. A thunderbolt struck right after her yelling, which seemed more than just a coincidence at this point.

Professor Membrane massaged his temples. "Son! Turn on the generator!"

The sound of his father's booming voice almost made him drop the pair of binoculars he held in his hands. His focus on the house next door was briefly disrupted. "Okay, Dad! In a minute!"

The Professor began growing anxious, not wanting to chance waiting to restore power. He knew how his daughter wouldn't be able to go too long without video games, and she was now seething over the loss of her current high score. There was no time to spare before she flipped out. "NOW, son! The world is depending on you!"

Dib concentrated, zooming in on the abandoned looking house directly across the street from his own. He raised his voice. "I said in a minute, Dad! There's unusual activity going on across the street!"

Professor Membrane let out a frustrated sigh."Son! Put the binoculars down! The last neighbors moved out because you accused them of drinking blood! That and you dropped that garlic bomb in their house!"

Dib rolled his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose as his father blamed him once again for making the neighbors leave. "They're called vampires, Dad! And they killed our last neighbors!" He attempted to clarify. Not that it did any sort of good. His father never believed him. "Huh. Looks like we're getting new neighbors." He mumbled to himself as he watched several moving trucks surround the house in the pouring rain. He saw a car pull up in the driveway. A middle aged woman wearing a flower dress got out, looking gleefully at her new abode."Oh good. At least she seems normal." The paranormal investigator muttered under his breath. He felt relieved...That is, until he noticed the rest of the family.The large headed boy nearly jumped out of his own skin, his body nervously shook as he witnessed the horrors that moved in next door. "OH MY GOD! DAD! GAZ! A FAMILY OF DEMONS JUST MOVED IN ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THAT FAMILY OF VAMPIRES USED TO LIVE!"

Gaz shook her head in disgust, clenching her game controller with inhuman strength. She had grown sick over his previous "paranormal" sightings. "SHUT IT, DIB!"

Professor Membrane put a gloved hand on his head. Another migraine was surely on its way. "My poor insane son." "Daughter, please turn on the generator! And tell your brother to get down here! I made another home made dinner! It's chicken casserole!" He announced, removing the slop from the proton oven.

"Fine." Gaz was already irritated. She stomped down the hallway, opening a panel in the wall and pulling a large lever, restoring power to the entire house. She walked over to her brother's room, promptly kicking the door in and breaking it down.

This startled Dib, causing him to drop his binoculars. "AAAHHH!"

She stood in the doorway, placing her hands on her hips and grimaced. "Dib, it's dinner time. Go eat your stinkin' food."

"Oh no. Don't tell me-"

She ominously lowered her voice. "Dad's making chicken casserole..."

Dib's eyes seemed to shrink, the horror of such an awful dish made him cringe. He was about to vomit. "AGAIN?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Gaz merely scoffed, waving it off with her hand. "Whatever. I'm not eating that."

Dib stopped his brief moment of mid panic, looking at Gaz in confusion. "You're not gonna eat Dad's casserole?"

She looked at him as if he were crazy. "No. Are you?"

There was no way he was eating that for the third time this week. "Everyone might call me crazy but I'm not suicidal."

The spooky sister got out her cellphone and began dialing a number. "Trust me. I've got this taken care of. Give me two minutes..."

Dib quickly picked up the binoculars he dropped. He handed them over to his sister. "Wait, Gaz!"

Gaz merely squinted, not very interested."What?"

The fearful expression was plastered on his face once more. His voice sounded pleading. "The neighbors! Gaz, they're demons or something! Take a look! You gotta believe me!"

Noting his worried demeanor, Gaz decided to humor him. She stared out the window at the house. All she noticed was a few moving trucks, nothing out of the ordinary. No people. It was just quiet.

She shrugged her shoulders and began to head out."Whatever."

Dib remained insistent about his claim. He wished she could witness the monsters he saw. It wasn't just some baseless claim. "Wait! They're demons! Really! I was right about Zim! You can't deny that!"

By now, Gaz felt this was another taxing paranormal drill. A false alarm. It didn't help that her brother cried wolf too many times. "Yeah, you also said the garbage man was a Yeti. I'll believe it when I see it."

Dib, however, tried to maintain his credibility as a paranormal investigator. "But he really is a Yeti! Nobody is that hairy!"

Suddenly, the two of them heard a crashing sound, followed by crazed laughter and their Dad yelling at somebody...Dib and Gaz turned the corner and entered the kitchen...only to find Gir in his dog disguise, swallowing the god awful casserole and laughing happily.

GIR was squealing and giggling, digging into his new meal."CHICKEN! I'M GONNA EAT YOU!"

"Bad dog!" The Professor scolded. But it was too late. The horrible dish was gone. And now that it was, GIR ran out of the hole he blasted in the kitchen on his hind legs.

"Dad! That wasn't a dog! That was Zim's robot!" Dib tried to explain.

"Can we order pizza?" Gaz asked, changing the subject as she got out her cell.

"Sure honey. That was the third time that green dog stole food from us. Hungry little fellow! Ho ho!" The Professor laughed, shrugging it off.

That fast, Gaz had called up Bloaty's pizza and placed an order. She loved their pizza so much she had them on speed dial...Well, that and Gir's number if she found her Dad made anything horrible to eat.

Dib just smacked his head. Well, on the bright side, at least he didn't have to eat that casserole. The downside; his neighbors were obviously demons.

Gaz, Dib and Professor Membrane sat at the kitchen table, waiting for their pizza to arrive. The storm seemed to die down after a while. After a long and grueling wait, the doorbell finally rang.

"Daughter, can you get the door please?" Professor Membrane asked Gaz.

The goth girl's stomach growled something terrible. She was beyond hungry at this point. "Fine. He's gonna pay for being this late!" Gaz grumbled, starting to walk away and getting ready to inflict punishment on the delivery guy.

"That's wonderful, honey!" Professor Membrane happily told her, clapping his hands in support of her.

"Uh, Dad? Didn't you hear what she just said?" Dib asked, confused as to why dooming the pizza person would be considered "wonderful".

"No. Not really. Some of that hot casserole got electrocuted and splattered in my ear." He replied, rubbing his sore left ear.

Dib was about to respond when...

DING DONG!

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming!" Gaz shouted, as she stomped her way over to the door. She flung the door open in a crazed, angry manner...Except it wasn't the pizza guy...

"Hola." He greeted the girl in a deep voice.

For a moment, the two of them stared at one another, surprised with what they saw.

To Gaz, she witnessed a guy about her age, maybe a little older, a little taller than herself. He was dressed in all black; black long sleeved shirt, black jeans, and black boots. He had a black messy mohawk that lay flat to his head, and pointy ears!He had ash grey skin, a complexion that made him look like death. Two different colored eyes stared at her, one crimson eye, one copper colored eye. Most notably, he had two decent sized horns on his head.

To the guy, he was surprised to see an angry goth girl about his own age. She had deep purple hair that was styled like snake jaws. She had dark, thick eyelashes and a pallor skin. She was wearing a scary scowl and squinting her eyes...that is, until she opened them to get a better look at him, revealing a nice amber color. She's pretty...He thought to himself.

"Hi?" Gaz finally responded, confused as to why he was there.

"Oh, eh, I am new to this neighborhood. I just stopped by because I noticed that the storm must have dropped one of your cameras in my yard." He replied, holding out one of Dib's paranormal cameras.

Gaz held her hand out to take it.

"Uh, thanks...but it was just my brother's dumb camera anyways." She explained.

"My name is Pepito. I just moved across the street with mi familia...what might your name be?" He asked, feeling a little more confident that she wasn't at all afraid of him. He couldn't help but to smile at her, revealing he also had pointed teeth. Not that she minded in the slightest...

"Gaz. Gaz Membrane." She told him, smiling slightly.

"It's nice to meet you." He told her as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"You too." She quietly said as she raised an eyebrow and stared at him.

"GAZ! THAT'S ONE OF THE DEMONS I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT!" Dib shouted in a panic, suddenly appearing right behind her as he looked at the scary kid.

"Quiet, Dib." Gaz ordered, getting annoyed with him already.

"Actually, I am not a demon. You see, I'm the Antichrist." Pepito explained proudly, forming a fireball in his hand to prove it.

"So you ADMIT it?!" Dib asked, not being able to process that he wouldn't even attempt to lie or hide his identity.

"Sí. The horns kind of give it away..." He said, shrugging his shoulders.

"OH NO! THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT! GET AWAY FROM HIM GAZ! HE'S HERE TO BRING THE END OF THE WORLD!" Dib screamed, pulling his younger sister away from him. "I have to get evidence!" He yelled, taking the camera from his sister's hand and snapping a picture of Pepito...who didn't even care.

Suddenly, Professor Membrane entered the room. "Son! You'd better not be-"

"DAD! HELP! OUR NEW NEIGHBOR IS THE ANTICHRIST!" Dib screamed in a panic, pointing to Pepito...who just shrugged once more.

The Professor stared at the boy's unusual appearance for a moment, completely oblivious to the fact that he had horns and demon eyes. Numerous neighbors had come and gone (thanks to Dib), and he wanted to remain friendly with the new neighbors this time. "Dib!" The Professor scolded. He then turned to face the boy. "Sorry. My son is temporarily insane."

"I AM NOT!" Dib argued, throwing his hands in the air.

"It's not a problem." Pepito said, smiling.

"DAD! HE HAS POINTY TEETH, AND DEMON EYES AND HORNS!" The paranormal investigator frantically screamed, pointing out the obvious to his scientist father.

"QUIET SON! You're being very rude to our new neighbor!" Membrane said, scolding Dib. He then turned his attention to the demonic kid. " I'm sorry. I didn't even catch your name-"

"My name is Pepito Diablo." The Antichrist explained.

"It's nice to meet you, Pepito. I'm Professor Membrane, and I see you've already met my daughter..." The Professor said, gesturing to Gaz.

"Sí." He said, not taking his eyes off of her as he continued to smile at her.

Gaz caught herself blushing, a rare pinkish color appearing on her normally pale face.Dib noticed his sister blushing, also catching on to the little shy glances between the two. OH NO! This is SO NOT happening! He thought to himself. It appeared his little sister had her first crush...on the boy next door...who just so happened to be the Antichrist!

"Pepito, would you like to come in? We were just waiting for our pizza to arrive. You're welcome to stay and have dinner with us." Professor Membrane politely offered...which practically gave Dib a heart attack.

"Uh, thank you, but I actually have to head back home. My mother is preparing dinner, and I have to finish the final level of my game." Pepito told him.

"You're a gamer?" Gaz asked, as her eyes lit up with actual interest for a change.

"Sí. I love video games. I take it you do as well?" He responded, growing more interested in her by the minute as he sensed her soul.

"Hell yeah. Video games are my life." The purple haired girl answered, smiling at him.

"Come, son, let's go back into the kitchen." Professor Membrane said, trying to make Dib come with him.

"But I don't wanna!" Dib pouted like a child, dragging his feet and watching Gaz like a hawk.

"Son! Can't you see your sister's actually being social to someone?" The Professor pulled Dib aside and whispered to him.

"Yeah, to SATAN'S SON!" Dib yelled, trying to make a point.

"I admit, he might have an unusual... style, but it's not my job to get involved with the boy's fashion matters. He's the first person that lasted longer than a minute talking to her!" Membrane explained. "See? She hasn't even torn one of his limbs off yet! This shows promise!" He said, motioning to Gaz and Pepito, who appeared to be getting along. At least his limbs were intact... The Professor was becoming filled with hope for his antisocial daughter.

"But he's evil! EVIL!" Dib shouted, trying to turn around and go after the boy.Professor Membrane stopped him, and dragged him into the kitchen, away from the demonic kid.

Within a few minutes, Gaz came into the kitchen, carrying a large pizza and smiling!

Dib panicked. "GAZ! ARE YOU OKAY?" He asked his sister."I'm fine." She told him, sounding a little less pissed off than usual.

"So, honey, the new neighbor seems nice." Professor Membrane began, attempting to start a conversation with his daughter about the boy.

"Yeah. He is actually. He's coming over tomorrow to play some video games with me." Gaz informed her Dad as she took a slice of pizza out of the box and put it on a paper plate.

"Oh, that's wonderful, daughter! I'm glad to see you're making friends!" The Professor happily told her.

"Wait. The Antichrist is coming over to play video games?! Tomorrow!" Dib screamed, nearly choking on his Poop Cola.

"His name is Pepito. And yeah." Gaz angrily said as she stuffed her face with pizza.

"But Dad! Tomorrow's Saturday! You're gonna be at work ALL day! You're just going to leave them home alone all by themselves?!" Dib asked in surprise.

"Ho ho! Of course not! That's where you come in, son!" The Professor said, patting Dib on the back.

"WHAT?!" Dib and Gaz simultaneously yelled."Honey, Dib's going to have to supervise your date." The Professor told the two of them.

"NO WAY! A Mysterious Mysteries marathon is on tomorrow! That and I have to stop Zim from trying to destroy us all!" The paranormal investigator shouted.

"IT'S NOT A DATE!" Gaz shouted defensively. "We're just gonna hang out and play some video games! And I'm 16, I don't need a stupid babysitter!"

"Honey, the babysitter's for Pepito, not you." Professor Membrane told her.

"I'm not a babysitter!" Dib argued. "If anything, I'll be the paranormal investigator who investigates his evil demon schemes and stuff!"

"Speaking of evil schemes, try not to doom anyone while I'm gone, daughter." The Professor reminded Gaz.

"Whatever." She replied.

"Don't I have a say in any of this?!" Dib shouted.

"It's settled kids. Dib, you're just going to have to supervise them. I'll give you $50. And Gaz, I'll give you $50 so you can buy that new game you wanted." The Professor told them, getting out his wallet and handing money out to the two of them.

Dib and Gaz exchanged an annoyed glance, and accepted the fast cash."Great. You better not bug us, Dib." Gaz growled, giving him a warning in advance."Just as long as he doesn't try to end the world or start making out with you or something." Dib muttered in disgust.

"IT'S NOT A DATE!" Gaz yelled in an uproar, now blushing. "This is just two people competing with one another. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Ah, my little girl's growing up!" Membrane responded as he patted her on the head.

The two of them weren't at all happy with this ultimatum, however, Gaz didn't bother to complain anymore. She really wanted that new game, and she actually wanted to hang out with her new neighbor.

Dib also had plans of his own...he was supposed to stop Zim from destroying the world tomorrow, just like he did practically everyday. The alien had something sinister planned and he knew it. That and Dib knew he needed to send that photo of the Antichrist to the Swollen Eyeball for paranormal evidence. Oh, boy was he gonna be famous from that photo!

One thing was for certain in their future without having to shake a magic 8 ball...tomorrow was going to be chaotic!
