Canvas, Blank and Waiting
Dib stopped by the art room in room 102 after school. He watched as the art club students were paining something on their canvases.
Dib saw a lot of amazing pictures. From still life portraits to abstract. Anything was possible in the art room as long as the students freed their mind. Then suddenly, Dib saw an unoccupied blank canvas, waiting for someone to paint on it. He thought of something to paint on it even if he wasn't in the art club. He slowly and hesitantly walked to the canvas and picked up a brush and dabbed it on a green and then mixed the color with white to make a light-colored green. He then dabbed the paint and made a brush stroke. He wasn't quite the artist, believe it or not, but, that's okay.
After a few minutes he backed away, looking at his masterpiece. It was a green sky and a crimson sea, similar to his poem. The painting had two people in it. One looked somewhat like him and one looked like Zim. How is that possible? He wasn't thinking of Zim at the time, or he was not trying to. The teacher and the rest of the students walked to Dib's creation and clapped an appreciation.
"Dib? How would you like to be in the art club?" Ms. Ambient, the head of the art class, asked.
"Uh. I don't know. I'll think about it. I'll get back to you once I made up my mind, Ms. Ambient."
"Oh, it's okay, Dib. Take all the time you need. I'll patiently wait for your answer. But, for now, we'll store your artwork in a safe place."
Dib then turned and walked away from the room.
'Perhaps, I should join the art club. It might take my mind off of Zim and Tak. Just for a little while.' he thought as he walked out of the school.
Dib. . . Why Are You the Object of My Distraction?
Zim was just resting in his house. It was the usual house he had lived in for five years. He had the same old lab and the same old SIR unit accompany him.
Zim was just doing his old same routine in his lab. Not like he was going to destroy the Earth anymore. Now that, that's just getting old for his liking. He paused his work as he stopped and thought of Dib's poem earlier in English class.
"What does Dib human mean by the whole thing? That poem. . . does it remind him of someone. . . meaningful to him?" Zim sighed. "Whatever waste of my time thinking about it."
The boy then went back to his work.
Ah, what was he working on, you ask? Well, he was working on a new program for GIR, his SIR unit, This program, he is making sure will not fail for the sake of what is Irken good to him, he is sure this will not fail. Then a distraction came along Zim's head. That distraction consisted of Dib and his poem.
Bzzzt
He accidentally electrocuted himself.
"SHIT!" he cursed out loud as he looked at one of his claws. "Dib, curse you and your distractions! You have foiled Zim this time." he sneered.
He sighed. There was no use in him to yell, he's not going to hear him anyways. He decided to step out of his work and maybe call Tak.
