The cold winter wind stung Dib's face as he walked along the side walk. He didn't exactly know where he was headed, but kept going untill he reached a diner. He looked through the diner window expecting to see happy couple holding hands, sharing a milkshake. Instead, he saw Zim? Zim noticed him also, and signaled him to come sit with him.
"What the hell are you doing?" Dib asked. "You don't eat human food."
"Of course I don't," Zim scoffed and pointed to Gir scarfing down a burrito. "But he does." Dib chuckled.
"I liek burriitoz!!" Gir squealed. Both the alien and the human laughed and this statement.
"Want me to get you something, Human?"
"Erm, No thanks." Zim looked at Dib with intriguing curiosity. Why was he so moppy today?
"Dib," Zim said. "You look more depressed than usual, stinky human. Tell Zim why?"
"Why would you care Zim? No one ever does. It has also been that way ever since elementary skool. Now we are in highskool."
"I care," This astonished Dib, no one ever cared for Dib. Not even his own father would care enough to ask him how his day was never the less if he was feeling alright when he was sick.
"No you don't."
"If I didn't care about you Dib-monkey would I invite you in the diner and offer you earth food?" Dib was perplexed at the alien's generosity.
"Uhh..."
"Now tell Zim. He has been waiting for you explaination."
"I've been thinking about my life and it sucks and my mom."
"Wanna come to my place? We can chat." Zim said. Dib smiled for the first time in years.
"Yes."
