Chapter 2

Fresh in the morning Dib got dressed and prepared himself for his big day. Nothing bothered him on this day and his mind was blank from everything. As he got himself to the front door two voices stopped him from leaving.

"Dib human we need to ask you something." Zim stood there fully disguised next to Gaz who had her arms crossed.

Curious but in a hurry he listened to what they had to say. Still on the back of his mind Dib still wanted to know why Gaz spends most of her time talking with Zim. It was a very bizarre thing to see Gaz his sister spending time with another living being. Many thoughts crossed his mind of what was happening between them but it was dismissed when he asked Gaz about it and she only punched him in the face.

"What is it guys, I'm a little busy at the moment." Zim walked down the stairs and called Gir.

"Gir get your disguise on we are going back to our base to get some things." With a squeal the little robot ran to his master's side wearing his infamous dog costume.

Perplexed Dib just stood there as Gaz came down the stairs and got in Dib's face.

"Go with Zim after you get Zita an engagement ring and help him back with the stuff he needs. By the way you better get her a brutal ring for putting up with your nonsense all these years." Once again to Dib's perplexity Gaz knew what he was doing again.

"I will Gaz you know I love her and I just want her to be happy." Talking about love repulsed Gaz to no end.

"Yeah yeah whatever just make it quick and get the fuck out of her this mushy talk is getting me sick." So Dib left along side with Zim Gir on his side and walked down the street.

Never in a million years would Dib have thought that he will be walking down a sidewalk with his once hated nemesis. A thought that has been getting less and less farfetched to him as the days in close quarters with this disgraced Invader. Many things have changed over the time with Zim Dib has gotten to like his conversations with him about the universe. Rather apparently we are in a multiverse and this universe will eventually come to an end and repeat itself over and over again. Therefore any mistakes you have made in your past you will repeat over and over again. Kind of a depressing thought but a captivating theory none the less. Zim took a liking to Dib's chats about the Swollen Eyeball group it gave Zim amusement, but he helped Dib get pictures of different alien species to show to the leader of the S.E a man known as Agent Dark Booty. Without any surprise to his own Dib was promoted as a higher agent and given respect among his fellow agents.

"So Zim what do you need from your house anything cool?" Gir just ran in front of them making squeaking noises with his feet from his outfit.

Zim looked down and grinned a bit.

"Well its nothing that cool just a space distortion device." Knowing that this would get the attention he desired Zim turned to Dib to see his face.

Dib's eyebrows lifted like he was about to say "fascinating" ala Spock but he just stopped in his tracks.

"What the hell does that do?" Dib said intrigued by the information before him.

"You know how the interior of my home is strangely larger than it should be."

"Yeah but I never thought of it."

"Well the device creates a portable dimension in an area that as an individual can store things with infinite amount of space to work with. I would like to install it in your attic if that is ok with you."

"Of course you can I would like to see how it works though."

They continued to walk in silence to the mall that has recently been finished after the whole "moose incident".

"Gir, wait outside you can't come in here stay by the door." Zim pointed at a bench by the front doors.

"MEOW!" Gir said still not getting that he is supposed to be a dog.

Gir sat down on the bench and began to lick his none existent privates.

Zim had something on his mind that of all things in this planet this confused him the most…marriage. A term that is completely unknown to him. Courtship and vowing to stay with a mate is very strange to him. He just thought that it was a custom that is just accepted by humans but he wanted to know what the deal was. When they reached the diamond store he asked Dib.

"Dib human what is this whole marriage thing that Gaz talks about, that you and your mate Zita plan to put in action?" Dib with the news of this question simply smiled.

"It is a commitment to stay faithful and show how much you love someone." Zim still couldn't grasp it but he just shrugged anyway.

Finally Dib found the perfect ring it was a platinum band with a black onyx stone with a small diamond on top. Sublime it was made for her he had to give it to her right now but he needed a perfect spot. Then it hit him what better place than in front of Zim's home I mean it was where the circle of Dib's hatred for Zim will finally break and what better to do in that moment then to propose. There were better places sure but this was the only place that fit the situation. Cancelling so many dates and meet ups to go spy on Zim and most of the time it turned out to be a huge waste of time. Well what better way for him to say he was sorry than to go there.

After he left with the ring Dib got his cell phone and dialed Zita's number. Conversationally he kept it short mainly he just told her to get to Zim's house he has a surprise. It was a surprise but not what she is thinking it was. Sometime later Dib found himself in front of Zim's creepy looking house waiting for his best friend and soon to be fiancé to show up. Zim himself was still inside his house disconnecting the device to bring it to Dib's house. With the device Zim is also going to demolish his house and live permanently at Dib's house. Suddenly Zita pulled up with her car and got out Gir ran up to her and started humping her leg.

"I'M DOING MY DOGGY DANCE ON YOUR LEG ZITA." The little robot screamed Zita just began to laugh.

"Hey Gir, what up?" Zita patted his head which stopped his mad thrusts.

"My master is in our base he will be out faster than you can say 1101011001." Not knowing what he was talking about Zita just smiled and walked to Dib and embraced him.

Gir who was still tied to a tree began to run around it until the rope ran out fell down got back up and began to run about in the other direction. Both Zita and Dib began to giggle to witness this event.

"So baby what's the surprise you got for me is it that new zombie game for my computer?" Dib smiled and pulled away from her still clasping her hands.

"No honey it's something even better."

"Come on dude what is better than a MMO zombie game."

"Well the reason I told ya to come here is to apologize for all the time I wasted here and not spending it with you."

"It's ok Dib at the time you were spying on Zim he was trying to conquer the planet at the time.

"No excuse Z most of the time he just sat there for hours at his computer screen or eating waffles that Gir made him. Now when I say most of the time it was almost all of the time."

A voice interrupted Dib in his well prepared speech that he was repeating at almost an annoying rate on the way to Zim house.

"Yeah he is telling the truth Zita human he did just hang around my base. This one time he dressed up as a squirrel and tried to perch on a tree and videotape us. Remember that Gir the lawn gnomes attacked him it was very amusing." Zim stood there with his hands full of a small sphere like object presumably the device that Zim talked about.

Guilt filled Zita as she laughed at this but also felt sorry for Dib.

"Anyways Z I brought you here to talk about how I will never abandon you again. To show that Zim and I have become friends I guess… what would you call it Zim."

Zim shrugged.

"First of all Dib human I don't know what the word friend is but if you mean if I tolerate your company then you can say yes I do. A lot have changed since I have been in your house. Speaking of which I guess that Gir and I will take our leave I will see you at the house." Zim walked over to Gir to untie him.

Confused by this and trying to figure out what the hell Dib is getting on about. Not that that is new sometimes Dib just goes off and just blithers about nothing.

"Baby what are ya talking about?"

"What I am trying to say is that…" Dib got down on his knees. Zita's heart started beating in a frenzy she knew what is going to happen.

"Oh my god Dib." Tears started to form in her eyes.

"I would want to make you happy to make you safe to make you mine forever." Dib reached in his trench coat pocket and pulled out her ring and opened the box.

Tears were now streaming down her face as she covered her mouth with her hands to keep from crying.

"Zita Burnheart will you do me the honor to become my wife."

"YES, OH GOD YES DIB I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!" They embraced as Dib placed the ring on her finger.

Without any warning a huge force just lifted them all off their feet and threw them in the air. They landed a few feet away from the hole that used to be Zim's base. Both Dib and Zita got up and looked in horror to see for their own eyes. A large device stood where Zim's house was and a ship hovered over it.

"IT'S TAK!" Zim screamed.

Dib knew who he was talking about and it only meant doom for everyone.
