Dib

Note: This is a big parody of the book 'North', now a movie. But course, they ruined the book with the film. But, so people no get confused, I'll go by the movie.

Dib was sure he was having a coronary. There was no doubt about that. He had this feeling many times before, but never this alarming and painful. When did this happen? When he was sat down to dinner with his father and sister. Course, who could tell the way the dinner was going?
His father, world famous and very popular dramatic talking Professor Membrane was talking about cold fusion and how it would be used to conduct medial scientific thingies; and his lovely, not, sister Gaz was more interested in playing her GameSlave then listening to her Father babbling on.
So, Dib was sat at a table where beeping, whizzing game sounds were louder then that of the droning of his ever talkative Father.
He wasn't appreciated. He knew that. He had always been different to everyone in the world, even including his own family. He had top marks in school, but that didn't seem to matter at all to his Father, the only thing that mattered to his Father was that Dib keep out of his lab all together, which was hard for Dib to do since he had such an interest in the paranormal, he just had to use his Father's equipment.
He tried being a good brother for his sister Gaz, but all that was in vain. She didn't care what he did, only if he didn't interrupt her precious GameSlave or take her pizza or soda. Heck, he could drop dead and not one of them would notice.
But it seemed like he was going to drop dead now. Now clinging to his shirt, his breathing was getting worse. He swore his life flashed before his eyes before he fell out of his chair and landed on the floor with a THUNK.
~*~
But he wasn't having a coronary. Just another weird event taking place in Dib's life. Course, his Father and sister didn't even notice he was passed out, they had cleared the dishes and had left him on the ground like he had always been a fixture there.
So, Dib went to his special spot. You know, that one place where it's so very important to one of us, yet it seemed so boring and idiotic to anyone else? Well, Dib had one of these places. And it wasn't in a cubby house, like some children. Or a theatre, or even a big leather chair in a store.
It was the planetarium that was on the outskirts of town. Yes, a planetarium. One special seat in the middle rows in the very centre of the place was Dib's special spot. His Mother had taken him there a few times before she vanished, and from then on the place always seemed to be special for Dib.
Pathetic isn't it? And that's where I found him that day I decided to see what humans had found in their constellations.
"OooOOooo! Pretty!" GIR, my idiotic SIR declared as the lasers began flashing about. He was so easily amused, and yet so was Tallest Red who seemed to think lasers were so fascinating.
"GIR! Quiet! I need to see what these pathetic stink-beasts represent the galaxy." I snapped at him, hitting him over the head with a pamphlet someone had passed me.
"…Zim?" Dib's voice seemed to have sprung from nowhere, I quickly turned and saw him, a few rows away from me. Why hadn't I seen him there before? Oh yeah, GIR had been singing about stars when we entered, my attention must have been diverted.
"Dib…" I snarled slightly, "What are YOU doing here?" I spat at him, turning in my chair to face him. I expected to see a sneer on his face, but instead, he looked pretty calm and collected. Not the usual paranoid little jerk I'd always known since I landed on Earth.
"Breathing, what are you doing here?" he replied, kicking his feet up onto the chair in front of him and resting his overly sized head on the back of his seat.
"That's none of your business, you stinky Pete!" I retort, and kicked GIR away who had began whimpering at a big blast which represented to so called 'Big Bang'.
"Huh, fine. Whatever." Dib said, sounding somewhat bored around me. How dare he!
"How dare you be bored around the great ZIM, you duffy.. thing!" I pointed my gloved finger at him, trying to stir him up. But nothing seemed to be working at all.
"Hey Zim, can I ask you something?" I raised my would be eyebrow at him,
"Depends on the question."
"Have you ever felt unwanted?" Dib looked at me through his uncanny huge glasses. I chortled.
"Unwanted? Me? The wondrous ZIM? Hah! You fool yourself for asking such a question to a divine being of greatness!" I replied modestly, but of course, I couldn't let him know about how quick the Tallest had banished me a while back. I didn't know they'd get so uppity about almost destroying their city.
"Oh." Dib replied, and looked back up at the ceiling. But now I was intrigued by his questioning and hopped from my chair up one, now closer to the boy.
"Why do you ask?" I asked, leaning forward a bit. He stared at me blankly.
"Zim, you're the last person I want to tell my feelings to." Dib said.
"Fine. Talk to… GIR!" I grabbed GIR by the ears and held him out to Dib, "Talk to GIR then! I won't listen, neither will he!"
"Hi Dib!" GIR declared happily, and waved at the boy.
I could tell by the look on his face he wanted to talk, so why not talk to an stupid robot?
"GIR… my family just doesn't appreciate me. I do good in school, I try to be a good brother and what do I get? Nothing! I'm praised by other parents, 'Dib always gets A's!', 'Dib's room is always clean!' Dib Dib Dib Dib Dib! But does my own Father or sister notice this? No! They're so wrapped up in their own little worlds they don't even notice I exist! I passed out on the carpet yesterday and they did nothing! What do you think of THAT?" Dib now had his hands on the chair staring directly at GIR, who blinked.
"I like cupcakes!" GIR declared happily. I then tossed GIR over my shoulder, he squealed as he did and landed somewhere, not that I care.
"So, your family don't care eh?" I grinned evilly at him,
"You said you wouldn't listen!" Dib cried in surprised alarm.
"I lied. But from I see, they just don't care about you. So why should you stay with them? Why not just choose another mission and be transported to another troop and continue living there, AWAY from me. COME GIR! We have much to do!" I grabbed GIR by the collar once I had found him, and left the Planetarium.
Little did I know what kind of impact I had left on the big headed boy known as Dib.
To be continued!
Ending Note: Yes, I know this is short, but it's just the opening! Bwa-ha- ha-haaaaa!
