Dib started walking towards home after school, feeling the calm breezy, beautiful wind. It was one of those rare moments where everything in life felt good. They've been rare for Dib ever since ZIM, the green kid who no one but Dib seemed to notice he was in fact an alien.
He took at a packet of gum labeled, 'Cherry Bom Blast'. He kept walking as he ran his hand over the smooth plastic, just waiting to chew a piece of his beloved gum.
"DIB-STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!" Zim yelled in his up-most annoying voice, trying to get the human's attention. He swiftly ran towards Dib, wanting to prove that he was in fact superior.
Dib stopped in his tracks. "What is it spaceboy?" Dib, annoyed as he was by the green ones voice, was actually quite glad Zim had come. He turned around just as Zim stopped infront of him.
"Stupid hyoo-man! Why must your head be so BIG. It's like a hippo." Zim gave a quite proud of him self face.
"My head isn't big." Dib pointed out, as he took a piece of gum out of the packet..
"OF COURSE IT IS, DIB-STI-...hey what's that?" Zim watched as Dib carefully took out a piece of gum, unwrapped it, and plopped it into his mouth.
"It's gum," Dib repied as he chewed his chewy goodness that was gum, "Bubble gum." Pleased as he was, he took another piece out and handed to Zim. He tried not to get in a fight with the alien. Not today.
Zim just gave him a stupid look. "Stupid hyoo-man. I can't eat your FILTHY food. Filthy HYOO-MAN."
"Come on, Zim. Just try. You aren't...chicken are you?" Dib chuckled a bit, feeling absolutely proud of himself.
"ZIM IS NO CHICKEN!" He said to Dib in his most mad voice, then he grabbed the gun, tore the wrapper, and plopped it into his mouth.
Dib grinned and waited for the aliens reply.
Zim slowly started to taste the flavors that seemed to dance around his mouth, like a beautiful ballet, where every flavor danced around, creating this one piece of perfection. Bubble gum. "It's...OK." He rolled his eyes.
"Look at what I can do," Dib told Zim. He blew and created a bubble from the gum. He started to shape it. Zim gave him a confused face as he chewed his own gum. Finally, Dib finished and held up his bubble to Zim. "It's...it's for you, space boy." The bubble was in the shape of a heart.
Zim's eyes widened. Slowly he drew his finger up and poked the bubble. It popped. His eyes widened more. "Oops."
Dib sighed. "Sorry. I just, I just wanted to...er...make you happy for once. Not have to be called crazy, chase you down. It gets to the point that it's worthless." Dib looked down, feeling stupid. "And now I ran out of gum."
Zim looked down, feeling a bit, JUST a tiny bit sorry for the human. Zim's kind LOVED him, he was amazing to them, or so Zim thought. But Dib, all his kind practically hated him, and called him crazy. But Zim wasn't saying that Dib WASN'T crazy. He also had the worst sister ever. "Well..." Zim started, "You can share mine." He gently gave Dib a kiss letting him taste the goodness of the gum.
Then they pulled a part, leaving Zim with half the gum, and Dib with the other half.
"Thanks, Zim." Dib slightly blushed, hoping no one saw that. Not that he cared really.
"Don't push it DIB." Zim gave Dib a slight push and headed towards his base.
"Don't worry! I know you care" Dib laughed a bit, and stood there. With his beloved piece of bubble gum that he had shared with Zim in his mouth.
