*Scene: the playground after school. Dib can be seen stalking Zim away from the school. They aren't to far away yet. Invader ZaiFae is sitting on a bench listening to her Dido CD. Suddenly... *

"I didn't hear you leave. I wonder how am I still here. I don't want to move a thing. It might change my memory."

Dib pauses at this strange and mournful tune. (Dido isn't in Zimworld. Sniff.) He peeks around the corner of the skool building. He sees the alien ZaiFae. She looks up at him and smiles, gestures for him to come over. He trusts her more that Zim for some reason.

" Oh, I am what I am, I do what I want, but I can't hide. And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me. I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be, until you're resting here with me."

She kneels in front of him. He looks into her eyes, glistening with Irken tears. He looks back, and the music of the song, coming from nowhere, swirls around them. Zim secretly watches in awe from the bushes.

"I don't want to call my friends, they might wake me from this dream. And I can't leave this place, risk forgetting all that's been. Oh I am what I am, I do what I want, but I can't hide. And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me. And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be, until you're resting here with me."

She reaches down, and takes his hands in hers. The tears are now streaming down her face.

"Oh I am what I am, I do what I want, but I can't hide. And I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breath until you're resting here with me. And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be, until you're resting here with me."

The song finishes, and ZaiFae whispers, "I love you Dib."

Dib blinks, trying to hold back tears. He can't believe this, or what he is about to say. "I...I love you to, ZaiFae." She gasps, and pulls him into a close and loving embrace. A faint thud can be heard, from Zim hitting the ground in one of his rare faints.

Then, the pair hears faint music coming from the nearby woods. They go to investigate, hands tightly clasped...



Okay folks, my first songfic. Whaddya think? R&R, and no flames. Actually, if you flame, I will sic Raptor Red's pack of Utahraptors on you. So there.
