A/N: Dib has always been lonley and never experienced real love from anyone, even his own family. But when a dark, depressed new girl comes to school, will she show him true love? Or will she let her past get the best of her?

The pencil tip drew scribbily lines in one particular area of the desk as Dib twiddled with the eraser. He rested his head on his left hand as his lids slowly drooped closed. In a few weeks was valentines day and no one had even paid attention to him. Even Gaz, who was atleast seven years younger than him, had a boyfriend who treated her like a princess. It seemed love was blooming all around just to tease him. All except Zim, who fortunatley didnt believe in human affection. Lost in thought, Dib didnt even notice Zim who was planning another failure at blowing the school up.

The bell finally rang, which sent Zim out of his "so called" brilliant plan and Dib out of his day dreaming. As Dib walked out of the class to head home, he was rudly greeted by a foot to the knee. Painfully, he fell to the ground and held his leg close to his chest.

"HA! Dib filfth. Your stupidity should atleast know that you will never succeed in defeating my genious. MY GENIOUS!" Zim announced as he fled to the front door. "GENIOUS!" Zim screamed before exiting out of the door and running to his base.

"Stupid green slug." Dib said to himself as he got up slowly due to his injury. Heading home was was quiet. Dogs barked occasionally but all was calm. The door opened quietly as he entered his home. No one was home to bother him, so he did what he always did. Gathering his equipment, he prepared to spy on Zim. On his walk down the street to Zim's base, he noticed a difference in the town. There was a moving truck a street down from his house. A few people along with it. There was a grown woman and a small girl around his age. Mother and daughter he presumed. He was distravted by the girl. Her mere precense seemed to intruige him. To bewitch him. Without even knowing it, he had forgotten his self-made mission and took the time to stare at this young girl. She had long black hair and her eyes were as brown as the richest soil known to man. Her clothes consisted of all black and a few dark tints of purple. He was amazed by her apperance and sat behind the bushes were he hid. She was unpacking things along with her mother as Dib noticed that he was inching closer to get a better veiw of her, but was stopped when he knelt to far and fell out of the bush and onto the street infront of him. He landed with a loud thud and the noise that came along with the effort of trying to catch his own fall, but failed. This caught the attention of the girl and her mother. Dib got up quickly and found that his eyes were locked with the girls. He stayed there for a few seconds before realizing how embarassing this was. It seemed like forever before he got up and dissapeared.

Dib layed in bed that night thinking about the way she stared at him. He felt like such an idiot for thinking he could ever be with a girl like that. Her dark brown eyes peirced his light ones and his heart skipped a few beats. He felt like such an idiot for making that impression a first. Punishing himself mentally, he rolled over and fell asleep. That night, he dreamt of being trapped in a glass box and she was on the outside looking in. Being trapped in a box that showed himself, but could never tell his true feelings.

Dib awoke with a splitting headache that morning. It was saturday and he had no plans. That is, untill there was a rumble in the earth and a laugh could be heard in the distance. Dammit Zim He thought as he got up and slipped his feet through his boots. Racing to the door, he found Zim on his ship heading torwards the library. Dib immediatley ran out and chased after him on foot. Once he reached the library, He found Zim talking to the librarian with books in his arms. The books were war books about explosives and war techniques and how Hitler took over the German empire. Dib Became angry with the librarians obvious stupidity and stormed in their direction.

"Are you Stupid or something?" Dib said as He walked and stood next to Zim, bumping into him.

"Well hello little boy. What can I do for you today?" She said as she smiled in his direction. Dib smaked his face and looked at Zim with anger. He smaked the books out of the aliens hands and pushed him down. Zim got up and began his shouting.

"INCOLENT FOOL BOY! Im simply doing alittle studying for the war in school." Zim said in an innocent voice that was directed towards the librarian.

"But, were in the french revolution. Not even in Hitler's time now." Dib said annoyed.

"O.K, That will be $10.89." The librarian announced. Dib just stood there with anger on his facial expression.

"This is stupid." He said walking out and leaving that alien to do whatever it was he was doing. On his way out, He bumped into someone. "Im sorry. I wasnt paying attention." He said looking up to find big brown eyes looking into his. He stammered back and became dumbfounded at the sight of her. It was the girl. The girl he had made a complete foll of infront of.

"No, Im sorry. I should've been paying attention. How stupid of me." She said with such innocence. He nodded his head as the words hit him in the face. She looked down and walked past him. His expression changed as concern filled him. She didnt even look at him.

The rest of the day was boring. Dib did nothing but eat and sleep for the remainder of saturday and all of sunday. He waited for Monday to come, but it took forever. Finally, night came and sleep was upon the town. He wondered what she was doing. He wondered why she looked so sad. So dark and depressed.

Monday was finally upon the people and the day was bright with happy faces. Skool was starting out slowly and boring as usual. Dib sat at his desk as Ms. Bitters handed out last weeks test.

"You all did horribly. You are all failures. I dont even know why I bother teaching a clas full of rocks." She spat as she sat at her desk. A knock came from the class door as. "Who is it. UGH I dont even care. Come in."

"Hello class, here is a new student." The attendance lady said as she escorted a new student into the class. Dib looked up to realize who it was.
