Words: 1-10
1. Introduction
It was high-skool, when Dib was forced to play an instrument, that he found that he was quite good at it especially the guitar. After a while he found that playing the guitar was a good way to get rid of stress and get the attention of a certain green alien. It was strange to Dib how interested Zim became with his newly found talent, or just music in general, he wondered if it was because Zim could not play any instrument himself since he only had three fingers in each hand. Maybe his kind didn't know what music was, but regardless Dib knew Zim was fascinated. But it wasn't until one night at the park when Zim showed up out of nowhere, probably brought in by the melody, that Zim finally asked what Dib was playing.
"What is that?" Zim asked. There was no insult nor a devious thoughts behind his words just wonder.
"it's a song called Ti'll Kingdom Come" Dib simply replied, if Zim was going to talk to him nicely Dib would give the little alien the same courtesy.
"Can Zim listen?" Zim asked looking up at the stars while sitting in the grass rather than looking at Dib.
"Sure" Dib said and continued strumming like he was before while looking up at the starry night sky.
2. Love
It wasn't love. At least it didn't seem to be. They still hated each others guts. At least, he tried to tell himself that. They still fought and screamed. But he knew it was different now. As he laid there, on the barely used mattress in the dark room, looking up at the ceiling he though to himself. Everything was changing between them the hate was being replaced with something else, their passion was driving other things that had nothing to do with their rivalry. But it WASN'T love. He really wanted to believe that….. But even he knew he wouldn't be able to deny it for much longer….not after this. Deciding to stop thinking about it he turned and snuggled to the warm body next to his. Whatever THIS was he could figure it out later.
3. Light
Dib smiled as he saw Zim trying to pull Gir off of a tree trunk and succeeding. Gir still tried to hold onto something though since he wanted to spend more time on his 'walk'. Dib laughed at the scene before him.
"GIR! Let GO!" Zim demanded pulling at the little green dog. Gir had gotten hold of a sign pole now.
"No's!" Gir cried kicking his legs. "I wants to stayyyy~!"
"GIR STOP THIS NONSENSE THIS INSTANT!" Zim hissed through clenched teeth people where starting to stare. "Dib-beast do something!"
Dib chuckled before he whistled and called out "Gir if you let go we can get tacos"
"TACOS!" Gir screeched and let go immediately sending Zim and himself to the ground before getting up and running toward Dib.
Zim grumbled and cursed as he got up and dusted himself off. As Zim caught up to Dib, Gir ran ahead of them and occasionally ran in a circle.
"You could have warned me stupid Earth-creature!" Zim grumbled but then though of something. "As punishment you will now have the honor of caring Zim back to the base!" Zim said in a better mood now as he jumped on his mates back.
Dib sighed but complied anyway as he piggybacked Zim back to their home. As he walked out of the park though he had to wonder how Zim could be so light, yet so strong at the same time, because Gir had amazing strength.
4. Dark
Dib looked at his reflection on the pieces of broken mirror that remained on the frame, almost not believing what he was seeing. His reflection only reminded him how far down he had gone. The dark corners of his mind were wining, he knew it. He was probably already a lost cause at this point. But it didn't mater anymore by this point….they where ALL going to pay for this! Dib then smiled a cruel and sadistic smile.
"I'll make sure they all BURN!"
5. Seeking Solace
Zim slid down on his door all the way down to the floor slowly as he panted. He had just run away but….at the moment he didn't care. He just…he had to come to grips with what he just did… Why would he kiss Dib? Zim didn't know, he just couldn't understand. He needed some time to think. Think about how and where he managed to loose his grip on things.
6. Break Away
As Zim and Dib looked at their town there was no doubt on leaving it. Leaving the town and the horrid memories it had for them. It was time to go somewhere else, some place new, where they could be happier together. Their hands entwined as Zim maneuvered the cloaked voot they where sitting in and flew into the night.
7. Heaven
"….and THAT is what heaven is" Dib finished with a heavy sigh "or at least what most people believe it to be anyway" he completed in a mumble as an after though.
Zim just stared at him with a blank look….
"Please tell me you understood this time Zim" Dib asked almost in a begging tone. Zim had been asking him about 'what is this heaven you humans always speak of?' for a few weeks now. But Dib was reluctant to explain because he KNEW Zim wouldn't understand….and he was right he had just explained it for the 3rd time.
Zim tilted his head at the human before mumbling. "….then where do Irkens go?"
Dib opened his mouth but then closed it, he didn't have and answer, he could only blink at the alien sitting next to him. Zim just look up at the stars deep in thought after a moment accepting saliently that Dib didn't know.
"Zim doesn't need it" Zim said after a minute
"What?" Dib asked confused wondering if he had hear wrong.
"I said I don't need it" Zim said with a smirk and placed a hand on top of Dibs.
"You know what me neither"
8. Innocence
Dib fumed and stomped down the hall and pretty much walked through anything on his way. He even trampled some unlucky bystanders but right now he didn't care he just wanted to get out of this place. Zim on the other hand was beyond confused about the situation but still followed Dib out of the Hi-skool anyway. After sitting in the park for a while and Dib ranting on how angry he was about being insulted by jerks with such small minds, Zim decided to finally ask Dib something very important.
"Dib what is this.." Zim quoted with his fingers thoroughly confused "gayness?"
"S-so you don't…?!" Dib mumbled and stared at Zim dumbly. Zim just kept on
Looking at him confused. " um….haa haa haaa" Dib laughed seeing as Zim had not understood a word he was ranting then.
"Are you laughing at Zim?! Tell Zim what it means!" Zim demanded
Zim might have been a evil alien who came to conquer the earth but sometimes he could be so innocent.
9. Drive
Zim let out a huge breath in relief as he parked his voot cruiser on the roof where it belonged. Dib still a little shaky in the next seat blinked at Zim.
"Dib?" Zim said looking straight ahead
"y-yeah?"
"That is the LAST time I let you drive!" Zim declared snapping his head toward the human.
10. Breathe Again
It had taken months but for the first time Dib felt he could breath again. He strummed his guitar while walking down the middle of the street. He sang Zim's favorite song as he went the agonizing screams and cries made Dib smile more as he continued strumming.
For you I'd wait, Till kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
Say, you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
