"Zim, stand up straight." Came a sweet nice voice behind Zim.
Zim groaned and stood up straight for the girl who stood behind him. She smiled and patted his back.
"There, now you look handsome." The girl came up to Zim's side to look at him. He didn't look at the girl, just stared at the floor bored out of his mind. The girl was much younger than Zim, who always put her hair up in pig tails, high on the side of her head. She looked like a doll, which annoyed Zim.
"What do you want?" Zim asked, trying to be a bit more nice than normal.
"I'm coming to help you. It's almost lunch time. Besides, I think a hump is forming on your back." The girl said with a giggle in her words.
Zim groaned, resting his hand on the table as he propped up his head. "I could care less, Liz."
"Hey Zim...why are you so...depressed all the time?" The girl who is now known as Liz said.
"My life sucks. Enough said." Zim answer automatically.
"Do you have a lovey friend?" Liz asked.
"A whaty what?" Zim cocked his head at her, staring at her as if she was stupid.
"Ya know...A girlfriend, or a boyfriend if that's how you swing." Liz said casually.
"I don't swing anything. My life will always suck, always have. Just leave me alone...and DON'T try and make me smile!" Zim said with annoyance. After high school, the green male had never smiled. The girl smiled, leaning closer to Zim as he scooted away. Her hands grew closer to his sides.
"Come on, Zim! Zim...You are gonna smile just once for me!" She said, tickling his sides.
"Get off!" Zim pushed her away, and she only laughed. "Get to work." The annoyed alien boy grumbled.

It was a nice day out so Dib didn't need a jacket or anything but he did have a shoulder bag he had to carry around. It held his wallet, apartment key and other random stuff the human carried with him. He didn't have a cell phone though, which isn't too surprising since Dib still had no friends; just annoying work employees.
Dib always went to the same cafe for his lunch break. It was a quiet, run downed looking establishment but that was what Dib loved most about it, and their coffee was to die for! That with a piece of cheesecake and Dib was set.
Dib had become a bit of a coffee addict since he got hired as a receptionist; one for the morning and one for lunch. It was funny because Dib never drank the substance on weekends. Coffee kept the human awake for work and that was about it. The taste was nice as well.
The black haired male strolled his way up to the cafe and pulled the door, but this time, the door didn't open. Confused, Dib looked into the shop to see that the windows were covered with thick, white sheets from the inside.
Dib swallowed hard at the sight. "Did they...close down?" he asked in hopes that they didn't. Then he glanced at the sheet of tapped paper on the window. It read of renovations and a notice that they will re-open in about 2 weeks. It was a short while but it was a tiny shop.
Dib sighed at his luck. Now he had no awesome lunch break to look forward to anymore and that was pretty much his whole day's amount of enjoyment; Coffee, cheesecake and peaceful alone time.
Dib looked around for a new, temporary place to spend his lunch at when he spotted a McMeaty's sign in the distance.
'I haven't been there in a while, and I heard that they started making coffee. I wonder if it's any good.' Dib mused and decided that he might as well check the place out; it wouldn't kill him, right?
