Greetings! Here comes another chap.
Thanks to all of you that have kept with the story so far. This chapter has a few surprises/out of place things within (you can post the ones you discover in the review section if you feel like doing it, or just keep it as a private joke for yourselves... whichever you see fit). Still, I consider it safe for everyone to read so don't worry (I haven't made up my mind about adding the "M" yet, even tough the story is rated like that).
Anyway, hope you like it and find it just as amusing as I thought it was when I read it. Enjoy!
Italics are thoughts. The ** means the starting/ending of the TV show.

Chapter 10. Looking for a reason not to…
In a daze, Dib-girl went to her house front door and opened it to check how Zim had attached his house to hers. When she went inside, the first floor – living room, kitchen, stair case, and door to the basement lab -, was just as always had been… if you ignored the "ceiling" with hanging pipes and half built plumbing that were the remnants of the ones that had been the plumbing system below the invader's house AND a huge worm-like pipe – that the girl believed was the one that took her down to Zim's basement –, that cut down and through the far corner of the living room. When she went upstairs though, she found herself in a very dark and reduced alcove when she reached the last stair step… like a small janitor closet; and she felt someone bumping behind her.
"Zim!", she said and tried to swat the irken in the darkness, "keep some distance… geez!"
"ME?", the outraged invader's voice came from somewhere behind and to her right, "You are the one that is bumping into me, Dib-stink!". She felt a hard surface pushing against her… as if pressed against the wall.
"Idiot!", she spat and slammed the body away from her, "this is your fault! I can't see a damn thing and you are just taking all the space for yourself!"
"You are the one that's hogging the space", Zim growled and slammed back, "I should knock you down the filthy stairs!"
"Not if I knock you down first, alien-scum!", Dib-girl slipped her foot in the darkness until she felt it collide with another feet. Weird, she thought, it doesn't feel like Zim's foot at all; still, she swung her own foot behind the ankle – or where she knew the ankle was – and tripped the irken. "That will show you!", she said triumphantly.
"Hey!", the irken said, "don't lean on me, Dib-stink!". The irken pushed away the body. "And keep your hands away from my pants!"
"I'm not leaning on you!", the girl retorted and felt a face pressed on her boobs again and some arms grazed at her sides. "Don't touch, perv!"
"You are the one coming at me!", said the invader. "Stop rubbing yourself against Zim!" The human heard some frantic rustling.
"You are the one taking advantage of this darkness to grope me!", the girl yelped when she felt a pinch on her ass, "Keep your hands for yourself!". Zim heard the human grunt and wring around.
"Who would like to grope someone as hideous as you, Dib-worm?... Certainly not me!", the alien barked… with all the commotion in that reduced place they suddenly fell back. But a wall should be right here to stop our fall, Dib-girl's mind complained.
"Ouch!"
"Kkyyaaa!"
Bzzztt…
Suddenly all was flooded with light and she had to squint her eyes; she blinked a couple of times and she was able to see an upside-down GIR looking at her.
"Aw!", the little SIR unit cooed, "I wanted to play in the magic dark elevator with you and masta!".
Dib felt a massage on her chest and she yelled. "WOULD YOU QUIT IT Z…", she growled enraged and partially lifted her upper body; the sentence died on her lips when she saw the robo-mom wriggling on top of her; Zim was on the other side dealing with the robot's legs (if you wanted to call it that way) but the three of them were lying on the floor in a heap of heads, arms, hands, legs and feet. When she found which side was up she understood that the three of them had come out of the closet Zim used to keep one of the robo-parents; if she looked to the door in front of that one – were the robo-dad should have been –, she could see her bedroom. NOW I get it, her mind said.
"Get off me piece of junk!", Zim pestered and kicked the android aside to be able to stand; he huffed and puffed angrily. The invader tilted his head when he still saw Dib, lying on the floor using her elbows to support her weight, she seemed in some kind of deep thought. He snapped his fingers in front of her face and she blinked again.
"Now you can stand, Dib-stink!", the irken said and looked at the robo-mom, still having spasms on the floor.
"Yeah… sure…", the raven-haired girl said as if in a trance. Zim lifted a nonexistent brow. "You alright?", he finally asked.
Dib stood up and nodded absent-mindedly; the irken frowned but said nothing. "I think I'm going to resume what I was going to do before all this happened", was her blatant reply and she walked to the kitchen.
"Where are you going?", the invader asked. Is she mad about something?, he pondered.
"My towel…", the girl said in a droning tone, "… I left it forgotten in your underground lab. I wanted to shower when I woke up and…"; she said no more and disappeared in the kitchen.
"Tch!", Zim clicked his tongue, "What's gotten into her?". He seated on the couch, took the remote, and surfed the channels; he gave an annoyed look at the robo-parent – that had finally regained its footing and was retreating to the closet.
"It was your entire fault", the irken said to the closed closet door.

Since Zim had taken away most of the second floor away (except for her room), Dib had to go to his dad's basement lab – where the "Emergency Shower" was – to take her bath. She had crossed the irken's living room to her room and took a new set of clothes and then went back to the robo-mom closet and opened it carefully; all this without looking at Zim, which she knew was looking at her expecting some kind of response from her part. The robo-mom had come out and greeted with its unnerving voice: "We missed you, son!"… The Dib-girl had taken that moment to go in and down the stairs.
Once she stepped in the bathroom, the girl thanked her father internally for installing a bathtub there, too. She let the hot water run first and then she opened the cold one to even the temperature, she took her clothes off and got in the tub, letting her body be covered by the nice, warm water. The human groaned and closed her eyes for a moment. Why am I so upset?, she started to think, is it because the one fondling me and groping me was that stupid android? Did I want Zim to be the one doing that?
"Unconceivable", the Dib-girl hissed. Is it?, her inner voice kicked in, or are you just mad that he doesn't consider you pretty enough to ravish?
"Knock it off!", the girl growled, "I know what he said…". And it hurts, doesn't it? Why does it hurt?
"No! It doesn't!", her voice stammered, unsure, "I had quarreled with Zim so long that his words… cannot… hurt… me… anymore…"; that was unconfidently said and trailed off. Yeah, right!
"Shut up will'ya!", Dib lashed again, "I have better things to worry about…". She started to wash her hair carefully and after a few minutes she washed away the shampoo.
Meanwhile, the invader was making his own thinking while seating lazily on the couch.
"How could that stinking human think that I… ZIM!… would do something as preposterous as that!", he grumbled. Well… you have been thinking about it more often than not, his own personal, little, Zim-devil told him.
"You lie!", Zim shrieked, "I'm ZIM! A simple being, like a human, would not interest Zim in the least!". Ooooohhh, the green devil taunted, then why were you so disappointed to discover that the robo-mom was the one tantalizing you?
"I wasn't disappointed! I was annoyed! 'Cause it was disgusting, of course…", the invader shuddered for the unpleasant memory. But it was OK when you thought the female human was the one doing it to you, was it not?, his devil pushed,
… And let me recall that 'touching' wasn't the only thing you wanted to do to her; you wanted to get…
"… girl-cooties!", the Dib said and splashed some water with her sudden standing; she relaxed again an leaned back on the tub. "Oh, God! What am I? 5 years old? There is no girls-cooties… what I meant was that maybe the female hormones and psych are starting to affect me…", she kept going with her monologue and started to soap her body; suddenly, she stopped. Since when it stopped being awkward to get naked and see the body of a girl while bathing or showering?, she thought. Did I really grow so used to this body that I can easily take it as my own?
"Does my feelings belong to me or this body arouse them within me?", she asked herself, "Am I always been this moody?". She kept covering her body with the soap and, unlike the other times she bathed, she started to slide her hands over it… little by little. How does a girl body feels and translates the physical pleasure?...
"It's starting to feel like a head-ache", Zim growled and massaged his temples; arguing with his inner voice was more infuriating than arguing with the Dib-monster.
I heard, somewhere, that sex is the best cure for it…, the Zim-devil said and snickered.
"ARGH!", the irken growled and face-palmed himself, "I want to have the lesser physical contact with that human! Period!"
But her skin should be so smooth…
"No!"
Her boobs so soft…
"No! Shut up!"
And you would like to hear her cry your name out when…
Would I like to? Would I want to?, the raven-haired paranormalist kept thinking; her hands were washing her shoulders and arms, would it be all right if I kept this body?
Would Zim like you BETTER if you keep it?, the darkest part of him, somewhere deep in his mind, teased.
"Zim doesn't like anyone", she said bitterly; her hands ran down to her bosom. She thoughtfully cupped the breast on her hands. "These seem like a B-cup…", the girl said, "I wonder what would happen if I…"
"Stop pinching me, GIR!", Zim said, infuriated about how annoying the robot was being after being attracted by the invader's loony soliloquy.
"But making yous lady sad is not good", the little robot said and wiggled a finger as if he were lecturing his master. "TV says yous always have to make her smile!". The SIR unit snatched the remote from one of the cushions and started to surf channels until he reached the AnimCh.
**A guy and a girl are quarreling with each other when, suddenly, the guy tells the girl:
- You are the less attractive women on the face of the Earth!
- And you are the most insolent, ungentlemanly guy I had the disgrace to meet!
- Well, you are immature and childish! – The guy, with a pig tail says – and you are flat!
BONK!... The girl hits the guy's head with a big rock and leaves.
- Don't come near me again! – the girl says and jogs angrily away.
After a series of events that take place, the girl gets in danger and – when it seems none will come to her rescue – the guy with the pig tail shows up, kicks the bad guy ass, and saves her.
- Amnar – the girl says and looks to the guy – so, you don't think I'm unattractive, right?
- No, you are not Enaka – the guy blushes slightly.
- I'm glad! – she says and smiles warmly at him.
By the end of the program it seemed as if they had finally gotten along… when a last-minute dispute made them go back to square one and the chapter ended.**
"Ssseeeee!", GIR annoyingly cooed, "He made his girls unhappy but he felt bad and he went to make her smile again"
"I'm not Zim's girl!", the feminine voice said before the invader could answer his minion. The irken looked to the door where the Dib-girl came; she seemed flushed but had that cold look in her eyes that said he was still in trouble. The SIR unit nudged at his master.
"Show'er some luuuurrrvvv!", it giggled in a deranged way and jumped down the couch's arm to the kitchen, "I'll bake dust bunnies!"
"Err…", Zim stammered and looked toward the Dib-girl, "… what took you so long?". The human flushed some more and the irken tilted his head, intrigued.
"I just felt like taking a long, relaxing bath", she said, defiantly. "Beside, why do you care?". She stormed to her room and slammed the door shut.
