'Dib's thoughts'

"Speaking"

Dib's dream will be in bold print.

Dib sat staring around the classroom this was his last period of the day.

'Just half an hour to go, then I can leave'

Dib started at the clock wishing for his half hour to go faster so he could just leave the school. He had already finished his work and his book on ghosts and other paranormal activity, so now he had nothing to do. Glancing around the classroom seeing that everyone else was still doing there work, so there goes any possibility of talking to someone, he sighed.

'I don't see why everyone else is so slow, why can't they just hurry and up finish their work, then this ENTIRE school year would go faster.'

Laying his head down in defeat Dib decided to try and sleep for the remaining time that was left in his horrible school day.

Dib stood up taking in his new surrounding. He was in a field, a huge green field with flower patches in random spots and a trail in front of him leading to somewhere. Looking behind him and seeing nothing Dib took off running down the path. Smiling slightly he ran faster and faster down the pavement which seemed to go on forever. Suddenly the path took a sharp turn and Dib slowed to a stop before continuing down the path at a more normal speed.

Looking down the path he saw he only had a bit further to go until he reached a small cottage at the end of the trail. Walking down for a bit longer Dib reached the cottage and knocked on the door. A few seconds later a figure appeared at the door and it slowly creaked open.

Dib's eyes widened when he saw who had opened the door, it was Zim! Zim moved aside and motioned for Dib to come into the house, which he did after staring at Zim uncertainly. Zim walked off down a hallway and Dib followed shortly after hearing the door slam once he was a distance away from it.

Zim and Dib were now in a small room which had barely enough room for the crimson couch and old fashion TV it held. Zim sat on the couch and patted the area next to him smiling. Dib taking the hint went over to the soft looking couch and sat down next to Zim, who smiled at leaned his head on Dib's shoulder. The human looking mildly confused just went with instinct and wrapped his arm around the irken who cuddled into the touch.

Zim looked up at Dib and the human leaned down to kiss the irken. Dib's lips almost reached the irken who suddenly shot up off the couch and opened his mouth which let out a high pitched whining sound.

Dib jolted awake by the sound of the bell looked around the classroom to see everyone filing out.

'Yes! It's time to leave'

Eager to leave the human gathered his things quickly and followed everyone out of the class, and then out of the school building. Dib looked around while slowly exiting his middle school. He had been noticing that spring was finally coming around after a long winter. He saw that the trees were taking bloom, and the grass was getting greener. He turned and walked leisurely down the sidewalk that leads to a local park. Staring at his feet and sighing Dib looked around trying to ignore all the people staring at him.

'Everyone else is getting all happy about the nice weather but I just can't be all happy until-'

Dib stopped in his tracks and gasped when he saw what he had been looking for. The first few flowers of spring. Not trampled on, not touched not even by a bee. He glanced around excitedly wondering if anyone else was going to try and take them. Taking his pocket knife out he carefully leaned down and cut the flowers stems at such a place where they would grow back again.

Dib stood up and started to walk away listening more intently to his music that was playing. Humming along Dib was suddenly very happy now having found the first spring flowers AND not getting laughed at for holding them yet. Now with the park in sight Dib started to hum along with the song quietly.

'Zim won't get the significance of these but I-. Wait what am I even thinking Zim wouldn't care he doesn't even like flowers…does he? Well maybe I-'

Dib's thoughts were cut short as he turned a corner and was suddenly propelled backwards. Looking around him Dib noticed that it was Zim, who had been running, that knocked him down. Standing up the human glared at the Irken evilly before turning and realizing he had dropped his flower. Bending over to pick them up Zim started laughing.

"What's so funny Zim?" Dib growled out.

"Nothing other then the fact that you're being all girly and getting flowers for some girl or something." Snorted the irken.

"No I didn't!" Dib shouted while gathering up the last of his flowers and turned to leave.

"Then who did you get them for?"

"You" Dib mumbled and shoved the flowers into Zim's hands and promptly ran away.

Zim stared at Dib blankly with the flowers in hand and started the long walk to his base.
