Dib took the medication out of Professor Membrane's hands, sighing. If this would make his dad happy, and maybe just a little more accepting of Dib's "insanity", he'd take it. It probably wouldn't do anything, anyway. Even Dib knew that people could take sugar pills, and the person would have symptoms as though they'd taken a pill they thought they had taken. It's all in the mind. So, with that in mind, he'd just convince himself nothing would happen. And nothing would.
Dr. Membrane had already busied himself with something else, a book entitled "How to Make Your Child Not Insane No More For Dummies". Dib went to the kitchen and grabbed a stool from beneath the kitchen sink. He hopped on it and reached for a glass. He grabbed one and came back down, putting the stool away. He turned on the sink, and filled up a glass with the water.
He put the white pill on the back of his tongue and thought again how this would not effect him. There was nothing to be cured, in the first place, anyway! He shrugged and took a long gulp of water, swallowing it. The weird feeling of it sliding down his throat was a little uncomfortable, but that was it.
Again, he shrugged and decided to go to bed. It wasn't like he had anything to do tonight, anyways. He could feel Dr. Membrane staring at him in the corner of his eye, as if the insanity would spring out of him like a demon in an exorcism.
As we went to his room, he could hear Gaz playing her game in her room. At least she had something to do tonight. Whatever, he thought - he had some stuff on Zim he could convince this kid tomorrow. He thought he was a near a breaking point. The kid had finally agreed that there was SOME, if any, possibility Zim was unnatural. It was the fact Zim had no ears that finally got him.
Dib just knew tomorrow would be better.
He could feel it.
After changing into pajamas, getting into bed, taking off his glasses, and finally pulling up his covers to his neck, he thought about how this was the end. The end of being unsuccessful with this stupid Zim thing.
Now, if only he knew exactly what it was the end of.
There would be a lot more ending than Dib really thought.
