I don't own Invader Zim okay? This is topic number one for the challenge called "Holding Hands" I hope you like it. Enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

Just take it, it is right there. Dib thought. Tak was sitting on the ledge looking over at Zim. They had agreed to work together to destroy Zim and his base but Dib was interested in other reasons. Tak had come straight to his house earlier and told him nothing more than she had managed to get back to Earth and to meet him at the park the next day at noon. Zim would be there ready to unleash his latest plan and she needed him there. "You do owe me too." Tak said with an annoyed tone to her voice.

"What do I owe you?" Dib asked incredulously.

"You have my ship." Tak said simply.

"I am fixing it!" Dib yelled back defensively.

"And probably messing it up too..." Tak glared at him as if she could see his memory of him downloading his personality to it and it going crazy. Dib looked away and sighed.

"Okay, I will meet you at the park at noon." Dib said.

"Fine." Tak smiled and headed back to her base.

Damn it Dib, you missed your chance! Make your move! No other girl has made you feel better so why don't you just make your move! Tak won't let you know she likes you unless you do first. Dib headed upstairs to his bedroom and packed his surveillance gear and waited for the glorious hour he would be with Tak again. If they could capture Zim, Tak would see him for what he really was and be willing to date him. He went to sleep that night dreaming of nothing more than Tak.

The next day he woke up and took special care to make sure he looked like the best stake out master that he really was. He had done it on his own when he was spying on Zim hundreds of times before, so why was this one so special? Tak is why you suddenly are so nervous about spying on Zim. The nagging voice in his head told him. He walked out of the house and headed to the park where Tak was standing under an oak tree ready to head to the bushes where Zim was getting ready to unleash his latest plan, evil robotic gophers that would dance their victim into submission. Pitiful from the start, but Tak and Dib knew that this would be easy pickings when it came to foiling him.

"This is the spot we can watch him do his stupid evil." Tak said as she led Dib to bushes where Zim was going to unleash the gophers.

"Is it me, or is Zim just getting sadder?" Dib asked.

"He's always been sad." Tak said laying in the bush next to Dib.

"True." Dib said. This is the perfect chance! Take your hand and put it on hers! You need to show her some basic affection to show you are interested. Dib said as he slowly picked up his hand, shaking with every centimeter that his hand went up. He then moved it closer to hers, still shaking horribly when he felt another hand grab his.

"Don't be so nervous Dib." Tak said. "I like you. A lot. Why else would I have chosen you to help me?"

"I love you Tak." Dib smiled.

"I love you too Dib." Tak said back holding onto his hand.

"BEHOLD MY ROBOTIC GOPHERS! I AM YOUR MASTER AND GO AND DO MY EVIL BIDDING!" Zim yelled as he activated the gophers.

"Want to go get him?" Tak smiled.

"Let's" Dib said as they jumped onto Zim, still holding hands.
