Summary: An Invader Zim drabble, part of a collection of unusual pairings. Keef makes a (very) new friend!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

"Hey, Zim? It's me, your best friend Keef! I'm out of the hospital again!" The boy craned his neck, as if he could somehow see over the purple men's room door of Zim's house. "I thought we could see a puppet show! Do you wanna see a puppet show, Zim? Huh? Do ya—OW!"

Keef turned around, his clothes smoking, to see that the gnomes on Keef's lawn were suddenly standing behind him! He held up his hand in greeting. "Well, hi there! What are you guys doin'? You're not really supposed to move around like that YOW!"

A moment of burning, blasting and beating followed, after which Keef was thrown out of Zim's yard and onto the sidewalk. He landed right in front of a pair of black shoes.

"And THIS is Keef! He's a little boy who's Zim's bestest friend! Which is pretty funny because Zim really hates him! HA!"

Keef looked up and climbed to his feet. Standing before him was a short girl with dark skin, wearing a red hoodie that didn't quite hide all of her messy brown hair. She was looking at him with her head cocked to one side and her mouth opened wide, revealing that she was missing several teeth.

He spent just a moment taking this in before grabbing her hand and shaking it vigorously. "HI! I've never seen you around here before! I'm Keef! Except you already seem to know that so whatever."

"Yeah, I'm new!" she said, shaking his hand back with just as much enthusiasm. "But I already know EVERYTHING that's happened around here EVER! THAT'S ONLY A LITTLE CREEPY, RIGHT?!"

"Yeah!" Keef agreed, his head bobbing up and down. "I like knowing stuff, too!"

"UH-HUH! That's because you like EVERYTHING, even though your life is horrible! AHAHA! THAT'S SAD WHY AM I LAUGHING?!" She began to laugh harder, which eventually gave way to a fit of coughing.

Keef frowned, giving the girl an odd look, but as she had noted he was Keef and thus could only feel put-out for a moment or two. "Hey, I have two tickets for a puppet show, but my bestest friend Zim can't come out to play right now. Do you wanna come?"

"I LOVE PUPPET SHOWS!" the girl screamed, so loudly that Keef recoiled and covered his ears.

"Great! Let's go, buddy!"

He grabbed her hand, smiled even more widely than usual and the two went racing down Zim's cul-de-sac.
