I left the lunchroom and started to look for Dib. As much as I didn't want to be around him, I thought that what those kids had done was really cruel and that at least one person should be on his side. I walked around the school and then heard two voices talking outside an empty classroom. Two voices that I recognized. Dib and Zim. I went to the classroom and opened the door a crack, then peeked inside. What I saw freaked me out big time. There was Dib with a huge tank of what looked like water strapped to his back, shooting it at Zim through a tube sticking out of the tank. Zim was dodging as best as he could and attacking Dib with a gadget that shot muffins out at him when he pressed a button on it.
I blinked and thought about my options. 1) I could leave and pretend that I never saw the display. 2) I could run to the principal and tell him what was happening. 3) I could try to stop the battle somehow, though I could get hurt in the process. Or 4) I could do nothing and continue watching the scene. Naturally I opted for the latter.
I observed as an abnormally huge muffin smacked Dib in the face sending him falling to the ground. Zim laughed victoriously and stood over Dib with something that looked like a ray gun clasped in his hand.
"You should have known that you couldn't beat the awesome Zim, you stupid worm baby.. Now it is time to aknowledge your defeat, Dib-Stink. This is the end for you!'
Dib surprisingly didn't look upset. As a matter of fact he grinned.
"This is not over yet Zim. Far from it as a matter of fact."
After saying this, he grabbed the alien by his legs and yanked them hard. Zim fell to the ground with a startled gasp, his ray gun flying out of his hand and landing a short distance away from him. Now Dib scrambled up and hovered over him.
"It is you who will now suffer Zim."
He started squirting the alien unmercifully with water, getting him completely drenched. The extra-terrestrial's skin was now steaming and he was cursing violently. Suddenly he pressed a button on a watch, that didn't look like a normal watch, on his wrist and an unearthly-looking suit appeared on him.
"Aha! You cannot possibly harm Zim with water now. This suit is completely water-resistant. Your going to have to do better than that, Dib-Monkey."
"Curse you Zim. Curse you!"
It was obvious that he was in a bind. I figured that he hadn't thought of a better plan than soaking the alien with water. Or at least that's what I thought until he pulled out something from the pocket of his jacket. It was a small weird looking device.
"I was expecting you to try to protect yourself in this way, so I thought of this. Acid can eat through anything. And coincedentally that's just what I thought to bring. It is time for you to meet your doom Zim."
That said, he pressed a button on the device and what I assumed was acid shot out from a hole in it and sprayed Zim, forming holes in his suit were it hit him. Zim cried out in agony, falling to the floor and rolling around in pain. I silently cheered Dib on, glad that he had thought of something so cool. Dib looked victorious, and Zim stood up, glaring furiously at his enemy.
"As much as it pains me to admit defeat, I see that I cannot win against you. You may have won this time, Dib-Stink, but next time it is I who will be victorious!"
Having said that he raced to the door that I was behind and shoved it open. I went flying to the ground and he ran passed me, steaming with anger. I groaned in pain and sat up, glaring at where the alien had ran off. I then stood up and saw that Dib was staring at me in surprise.
"You were watching us?"
"Uh...kind of."
"Then you know Zim is an alien, right?"
He was staring at me with an excited and hopeful expression.
I nodded.
"That goes without saying. I mean the green skin is kind of a dead give away."
He practically whooped with joy when I said that.
"Finally! A person who believes me! Another being who can see through that poorly designed disguise and spot that alien for who he is really is! I'm so happy I could hug you!"
And that's just what he did. Shockingly I wasn't disgusted like I probably should have been. I mean, even though I know that Zim is an alien, the boy is a bit obssesed, branding him as a loony in my book. But still...I think he needs someone to be on his side. It didn't seem like anyone even liked him, and I really did feel bad for him. Which is why I didn't stop him when he hugged me, or pull away, which wasn't neccesary to do anyway, because he caught himself almost immediately and pulled away.
"Uh...eh heh...sorry about that."
I grinned, waving away his apology.
"It's fine. You know we should probably be getting to class. Lunch has been over for awhile now."
"Crap, your right! Mirs Bitters will have our heads for being late, probably literally, let's go."
And so I walked to class with the boy that I had wanted to avoid for so long, but who I kind of wanted to get to know better now.
