Zim and GIR were watching an action movie that the robot picked out from the store. The green alien did not find it very interesting. It was just humans chasing each other and multiple explosions (which were puny in comparison to his). While it was amusing to see some of the humans get injured, most of the filthy monkeys did not seem impeded by their afflictions.
"I will stop you, you hear me?! I will find you, and I will kill you." The hero declared.
"Hahaha, its a date then Mr. Smith." The generic villain grinned before hanging up. A date? So this is what dates were. They were formal, declarations of combat between two opposing sides. Did this mean all those times fighting against Dib… were dates?
"GIR, I'm going to go to the lab and gather more information on dating. You just stay here and watch your movie." The Irken ordered his mechanical minion. GIR nodded, continued to eat his fun dip, and kept his eyes glued to the television.
The next day at Skool, Zim was still looking through a huge stack of printouts that the computer composed on dating. Apparently this activity usually involved two humans, and both parties agreed they had a bond to each other. As the dating progresses, and if the two individuals are still together, there was usually a celebration to mark the occasion because that meant they were a good "match." Zim thought about his relationship with the Earthling, and concluded that their desire to destroy each other did bring both males to an understanding. They were enemies, and they allied when a foreign party interfered. Despite the invader's lack of respect toward the humans and their planet, he had to admit that Dib was a good match for him.
Perhaps he should plan an anniversary for the Dib with a grand scheme. One bigger than everything that he had tried before and something that would "wow the both of them" as the papers worded it. After all, while most pairs break up around the three-month period, Zim and Dib have been enemies for almost six months!
"What are you planning Zim? Another pathetic attempt to conquer the Earth?" Dib jabbed.
"Oh no Dib, I have something special planned for our anniversary." Zim smirked. Dib flushed a bright red and became flustered.
"What?!"
"Meet me in the woods next week for my latest plan. I will make sure it is a date that you will never forget."
"Zim… are you asking me out?" The preteen gasped.
"Yes Dib, I never formally asked but I think after all this time we have spent together it is finally time that I did." The green male confirmed, making sure to address Dib by his name instead of an insult (apparently that was not respectful in these kinds of relationships). Dib's eyes widened and he blushed a darker red.
"Well?" Zim huffed, still waiting for the other boy's reply.
"Yeah, I guess I'll go out with you. Next week in the woods?"
"Yes Dib, and be prepared. Be very prepared..."
Oh, you have no idea how much I wanted to make a condom joke. But I restrained myself!
Enjoy a little ZADR I wrote before going to work.
