A/N: This was inspired by the song pulled in a new direction from the addams family musical so i hope you like it. this is DaOCr.
I sat in my musical theatre class with zim and dib. All three of us were there for only there for one reason and one reason only. To get the credit needed to graduate. Our teacher announced that our next assignment was to pick a song from a musical that related to us and sing it the following week. I scribbled it down so i wouldn't forget but my mind wasn't really on the stupid assignment.
I had just learned that me and Zim were actually defects and were never really invaders. I walked home that afternoon alone since zim had to stay after skool for detention. I bumbed into dib on the way home. "watch where your going!" She said from the ground. She was so depressed that at the moment she didn't bother getting up. He saw that so he helped her up. "Something wrong?" "What do you care? You hate me and my brother." "Yeah, but you look really upset. so what's wrong?"
I wanted to tell him but couldn't. I couldn't trust him. "It's nothing." she said and tried to walk away but he grabbed her arm. "Please tell me." I looked in his eyes and saw he was genuinely concerned. "Alright." I told him everything. by the time i was finished i had started crying. He pulled me close to him and hugged me. "I'm sorry. It'll be alright." i nodded. I had never seen him actually care for me or my brother but here he was comforting me as if we'd been friends forever.
I felt a weird feeling in my squeedily spooch. What was this feeling? It wasn't hatred, or loathing or anything I ever felt before. "Thanks." i said. "No problem." He replied giving me a smile. I couldn't help but smile back at him. I walked away but couldn't stop smiling.
Over the next week I felt different about Dib. I learned that what I had was a crush for Dib. It wasn't just Dib but I also felt different for the world. Everything I hated became cute all of a sudden. It was the day before the assignment was due and I was searching the computer for a song when I came across the perfect one.
The next day, I was called up to sing first and i had to admit i was nervous. I got up and got ready to sing.
"I don't have a sunny disposition.
I'm not known for being too ammused
my demeanor's locked in one position Suddenly however I've been puzzled I'm being pulled in a new direction Mother always said be kind to strangers Has got me pulled in a new direction Pulled Puppy dogs with droopy faces Butterflies and picnic lunches String quartets and chia pets Has got me pulled in a new direction I should stay in the dark and you bet I'll vie to
See my face, I'm enthused
Bunny rabbits make me want to cry
All my inhabitions have been muzzled
and I think I know why
But I think I like it, I think I like it
I'm being pulled in a new direction
Through my painful pursuit somehow birdies took root
all the things I detested impossibly cute
God - What do I do
but she doesn't know what they destroy
I can feel the clear and present dangers
when she learns that the boy
but I think I like it, I think I like
I'm being pulled in a new direction
and this feeing I know is impossible so
I'll confide that I've tried but I can't let it go
It's disgustingly true
Pulled
Pulled
Unicorns with dancing mice
Sunrise in wide open spaces
Disney World I go there twice
Bunches of chrysanthemums
Lollipops and pillow fight and
Christmas Eve - Sugarplums
and afternoon banana splits
angels watching as I sleep
and liberace's greatest hits
If they keep insisting, I'll stop resisting
Just watch me pulled in a new direction
Not obey every spark
but the boy has a bite
better far than his bark
do what's truly taboo
as I'm pulled in a new
Direction!"
I looked directly at dib as i sang it. Wondering if he felt the same way. I guess i may never know.
