Sorry invader Jen, I forgot to give you credit for the last chapter about getting the quote. And congrats HYPA gal33355555 for getting the quotes as well. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get that episode name soon! Well anyway, good job, you've both got them all right so far and I have no doubt in my mind that no matter what quote I put up you'll get it right! Anyway, on with the next chapter!

"Man I'm spooky."

---------------------------------

That night was a restless one for Dib. It was filled with tossing and turning and beads of sweat running down his face, but the strange part was…

He wasn't having any nightmares.

His dreams were filled with things that caused him good thoughts and normally got him by in the night. So, if the dreams were so good, then why was he sleeping like they were horrible? It wasn't hot out. He wasn't too cold. If it wasn't a natural cause then what could it be?

Zim's tracking probe.

Every minute of the day from when Zim slapped Dib on the back, that probe had been working it's way into Dib's flesh, peeling away bits and bits until it reached into his blood. And once it reached his blood stream it let out millions, no billions, of little probes that attached to one blood cell each, hitching a ride on as many as they could.

As each blood cell moved throughout Dib's body it caused him untold pain. With each turn and bob throughout his veins it seemed as though a needle was being pushed through his flesh and bones, only to be shattered into a million sharp pieces and travel throughout his body.

Therefor causing his restless night.

And while Dib tried to stay calm in his terrible sleep Zim had the biggest grin spread across his face. Images, words, audio spilled from his many screens and played out onto an invisible table in Zim's mind. But the biggest thing Zim found running through Dib's gargantuan head wasn't something that could be bought, or sold. It was something of much greater value. No money value was available for this thing and Dib would surely give his life up for it. It wasn't Dib's spot in The Swollen Eyeball, nor was it his equipment, nor his sister or dad.

It was something far more valuable. Something that, as it seemed lately, he couldn't live without.

It was Kat.

Ok, really short chapter. Hey, what can I say, I like to leave ya hangin'. How terrible is that right? You probably thinking, "Where's the love, huh?" But as one great evil demon said, "Ah, love. Love is the source of all conflicts. To say that I am incapable of love is a compliment." (If you a Pendragon fan then you'll understand.) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope this quote was a little harder than the last. Until next time!
