(we need to establish zim's sexual preferences. I can't tell with all this background stuff with N-Dib)
"From American? God... this guy is pretty naive for a high school proffesor." Taifu mumbled to herself, and rose her gaze again. "So... what are your preferences?"
"My... er... preferences?" Zim asked, confused. He watched from the corner of his eye as Gir gnawed on one of the plates. He chuckled nervously, prying it away from his little robot, who whimpered and reached for it. Zim held it over his head, away from Gir's reach. Taifu couldn't help but smirk. She actually found him a bit... comical.
"Taifu-"
"Well, I mean, it's important! I mean, I have to know whether he'll be staring at little girls or little boys!" Taifu interupted, crossing her arms over her chest. She stared at her new teacher.
Kinki shook her head. "Never mind Taifu. She's sexist."
"Then she is homosexual?" Zim gaped - he hadn't met any homosexuals other than Keef. Well... he always questioned a bit about his leaders, as there had been several times he had called and his violet leader was jumping from the other's lap, but....
"No, I'm asexual, thanks to my father." Taifu grumbled, then looked at her teacher again. "Well?"

(I'm fine with Zim being Bi. GAHAH Nightmares can through you off Eh?)
Zim still looked a bit confused. "It's really none of your business." Zim snapped. "But if you must know I don't really care about gender. If I love someone then I love them." 'Not that Zim will ever love anyone.' He thought crossing his arms.

"Oh... hm.... Well, at least he's honest...." Taifu blinked, shying away, lowering her gaze to her tea. She blushed, suddenly feeling very stupid for asking. It was, after all, his own business... but still... curiosity.... It was true that she didn't mind gay men as much, since she didn't have to fear them like she would a straight one. Though, the disdain was still there.
"Your roomate is headed up to your dorm, Taifu."
"What? No!" Taifu screamed, bolting upright, nearly spilling her tea. She dashed to a corner of the room, gathering her jacket and a couple of other items she had brought. "Sorry Kinki, sorry Zim-san, but I am NOT going to let her throw her crap all around MY stuff!" She slung her backpack over her shoulder, and opened the door. "Nice meeting you, Zim-san! Thanks Kinki!" she shouted over her shoulder as she raced off.
Zim stared after her, a bit miffed. "What is with her?"
"Do not fear Taifu - she will come to trust you in time." Kinki said, calmly watching as Zim grew even more perplexed. She smiled, placing her fingers together. "Can I get you anything more suitable, Zim-san?" she asked, gesturing to his tea with her index fingers.
Dib gaped at the big halls, repeating '497' over and over within his mind, dragging his luggage behind him. Everything was large, and he could see the school grouns from the big glass windows lining the walls. He finally found the door, and smirked, reaching for the handle, but before he could turn it, was tackled, the only thing visible to him a blur of orange.

"Gah!" Dib shouted out in surprise. What was with the random run ins lately? He looked up at the person who had just tackled him and froze.
XX
Zim nodded at Kinki a little unsure. "okay."
Kinki stood up and entered the kitchen talking loud enough for Zim to hear her. "As i said before I am psychic so of course i know your an alien." Zim stiffened looking scared for a moment. "I would also like to apologize for my actions with Taifu. She was getting ready to mess up the time stream."
Kinki walked back in to the room carrying a try of sweet rice balls. She handed on to Zim. "Yes most people normally add salt instead of sugar but i tend to have a sweet tooth and I know you do as well." She grinned.
"your odd." Zim spoke quietly grabbing a rice ball and nibbling on it Gir forgotten for the moment.
"As are you Zim-san." kinki smiled. "Remember Zim-san if you ever need anything come to me. I hate coming to others." She nodded and Zim felt like this was the time for him to go. "By the way," Kinki interjected as he stood up. "You will soon run in to a few people that you might find 'familiar'." Zim gave a confused stare as he left her house.
"What a weird human."

'What is up with all the cute girls?' Dib thought desperately to himself as he stared up into frustrated dark eyes, knowing his cheeks were bright red. Taifu blinked, and her brows furrowed. "What?" she asked sharply.
"Um...." he mumbled, scrambling up.
"Look, your room is the left side, got it? I find one speck of your stuff on my side, and you'll be sleeping in the cafeteria!" she said harshly, and strode into the room, brushing her skirt down. He followed hesitantly, gazing at her side nervously. The girl's suitcases were flung about, puking out, clothes waded in corners, posters already mounted along the wall. It was a mess i progress. Not that he minded, as long as it stayed on her side. "So, you're not going to dress the room in pink, are you?" she asked.
"Um... no." he mumbled, running a hand through his hair, eyes wide as saucers as realization sunk in - he was sharing a room! With a girl! 'This can't be happening, this can't be happening-' But he knew it was, as he watched her tack up yet another poster abover her bed.
Zim walked through the garden, Gir at his side. It was quite relaxing, really, smelling the fresh air, the colors of the flowers captivating, the wind tussling his antennas beneath his wig. He wathced as a figure came forward, a girl only a little older than the two he had previously encountered. She looked... vaguely familiar.
He gazed as she stopped, resting her back against a cherry-blossom tree, eyes closing. He felt a slight thump in his chest, as if he had found someone... like him. Stranded on this grey planet. But he shook the feeling, continuing to walk by as Gir jumped from flower to flower, smelling each.

(Are we still gonna have Zim fall for the girl Dib and then freak out embarrassed when he finds out the truth?)
Dib leaned back in his bed and stretched. It was very comfortable he had to admit. If only he did have to wear the stupid uniform. The skirt was entirely to short lucky his dad had made him shave his legs before coming. Normal girls did after all.He sigh once more and his roommate, who was listening to a more high-tech version of an I-pod glared at him.
Taifu turned her music off and growled. "Why don't you just go do something instead of moing around here! It's very distracting you know."
"Sorry." Dib responded in as girlly a voice as hew could manage. "So what do you do around here for entertainment?"
"We study." Taifu growled not liking this American girl right on the spot. "And sometimes we go to the garden." She pointed out the window and Dib gasped. The garden, or what little he could see of it, was beautiful.

"It's all so-"
"Pretty?" Taifu asked, a slight smile coming over her features. She couldn't help but smirk when talking about the garden - nobody could. An irritated expression took over her face, and she kicked off a shoe, which knocked him in the head. "Well, don't jsut stand there drooling. Go look, you tard. God, I swear...." She again turned up the volume on her Music-Slave 5, pulling up a book, one leg hanging over the other as she continued to ignore Dib.
Dib smirked, and left the room, closing the door carefully behind him. It was like living with his sister - only in much closer proximity.
Miyaki hummed as the wind tassled her hair, then kicked off the tree, strutting through the garden, watching as butterflies danced in the breeze. She made her way toward the small building in the back, a question buzzing in the back of her head. One question that had been bugging her since the end of the previous year. Her knuckles tapped gently upon the knobby wood door.

"Come in Miyaki." Kinki shouted from inside. "I'm a bit tied up at the moment."
Miyaki sighed and entered the building.
XX
Zim held his breath as the girl walked by his hiding place. once she was out of sight he shook his head. Rolling his eyes and sighing he continued to explore the garden unaware of the new presence that was slowly approaching.
(Dib)

Dib breathed heavily, tasting the air. Out here, unobserved, he didn't have to try so hard. He could even, perhaps, indulge in one of his greatest pasttimes - talking to himself. "What's with her, anyway? I don't even know her name! I can't believe this is happening to me. Maybe I'll run away - yeah, that's it. And I'll use a sudonym. Yeah... and I'll study to be a para-" he stopped dead in his words as he watched a green form round the corner. He felt sweat trickle down the side of his face, and he quickly clawed at his hair, trying to flatten it, nervous that his disguise, perhaps, wasn't good enough.
No... no... this wasn't happening!
"Ah!" Dib yelped as lavender contacts noticed him.
"Hm?" Zim asked, then squinted. "Ah! You! Dib's relative!" He stroked his chin, not quite knowing what else to say. "Are you looking for that mind-reading student as well?" Dib stared, his glasses slightly askew, shocked. "Or are you lost?" Zim's expression became an ammused smirk as Dib looked around, realizing that he, in fact, had no idea where he was going.
Miyaki closed the door behind her, eyes downcast. "Hey." she mumbled, taking a seat in one of the plush chairs, fidgeting as it absorbed her. "Uh, Iota, I need to-"
"Iota graduated last year."
"Oh... right... Kinki, wasn't it?" Miyaki pressed her fingers together. "I... um... need to know... how much longer... I'll be here."

"Well.." Dib was unsure of what to do. This was ZIM! What was Zim doing here? At least the invader hadn't recognized him. "Um I kinda am...I've never be here before you know."
Zim nodded. "Well perhaps I should show you around then?" He flinched at his own suggestion. What was he saying. "i am a teacher after all."

Dib's jaw dropped. "Teacher!? You're a- I mean... uh... thank... you?" he mumbled sheepishly, lowering his outburst to a more subtle female voice. Zim snickered a bit - this was more amusing than the 'anime' he had seen in his teacher dorm. Dib reluctantly followed his teacher's gesture, walking beside the Irken.
"So-" Dib filnched, bracing himself for any strange ramblings he was about to hear. "What do you like to do for entertainment, pupil?"
"Huh? Oh... uh... study...?" he chuckled nervously as the odd glance he received. He couldn't just say 'paranormal research', else he would be a bit too obvious. And he had to hold out until he could at least escape the garden which, while beautiful, was a bit of a maze, without the ugly hedges.
"That's boring." Zim muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Well, that's not all I do!" Dib burst, covering his mouth. He repeated his phrase a bit more softly, a blush overcoming his features. This was getting more and more difficult. He could already feel the sickening irritation bubbling in the pits of his stomach.
Miyaki waited patiently for the answer to her question, eyes drooping low. She was frequently getting tired... a bit of a curse for internalizing her most important organ. "I can't stand this anymore...." she mumbled weakly, resting her head. This organ, made of machine, craved for recharging- hours that not all the coffee in the world could make up for, despite her best attempts.

Kinki finally emerged form the kitchen smiling at Miyaki. "Oh 'Miyaki' tired again I see." She laughed a bit as Miyaki glared. "You wont be here much longer I promise you that." Kinki set down a large cup of coffee in front of Miyaki. "Maybe less then the rest of this year." Kinki hummed as Miyaki gulped down her drink. "I just can't wait to see all the drama in person XD"

Miyaki gazed down at her cup, allowing the remaining steam to bask her features, a frown overtaking her features. "I... I mean... not like that... I mean... my...." Her eyes adverted, and Kinki sighed.
"I know, but I had hoped that my answer would have encouraged you not to ask. It is dangerous to ask how long you will live."
"Kinki... I can feel myself malfuctioning."
Kinki sat across from Miyaki, a sigh caught in the air. "Miyaki... do not fear... it will not be... too soon." Miyaki allowed herself to rest her head on the table, breathing heavily. "If you would only take the time to rest...."
"I can't...." Miyaki groaned, "It would be... so...."
"Barbaric?" Miyaki pursed her lip, pulling her hair. "Rest, Miyaki. Rest. And forgive, for it shall benefit your longevity to do so." Kinki offered a gentle, understanding smile as Miyaki forced herself to sit up.

(modified about Miyaki's PAK. Decided it'd be best to keep the reader from knowing her true identity until later.)
