So sorry for the long time between the two chapters but my last week as been booked. I had to go to Seattle for Memorial Day for my Uncles Wedding and only got the first two paragraphs and a few bits of dialogue done before Drivers Ed started. So for the past week I have been up at my grandparents because they were my only ride, and I didn't have my story with me and didn't want to rewrite anything. So again, sorry for the wait, and congrats you know who's with the you know what's.

"I had no idea."

Kat was sitting at her desk staring at the empty seat in front of her. I guess Dib decided not to show. She thought. I hope he's all right. And then, as if he could read her thoughts, Dib walked in the door.

Kat gasped slightly as she saw his appearance. He was wearing pure white pants, shoes, and shirt. His hair wasn't exactly neat, but it didn't look like he cared. There was a white band wrapped around his arm, high up, only a few inches from his shoulder that had two flashing lights, one red and the other green.

Dib walked in slowly with a shaky smile. What were the kids going to do now?

"What happened to you?" Someone asked from the back of the room.

"Oh, just barely escaped death, that's all." Dib replied his voice not all to stable. Dib turned his head to look to Kat but noticed that she was out of her seat…

…and standing right in front of him.

Dib took a surprised step back. "Oh, wow." He muttered as he regained his balance.

"How are you?" Kat asked, a look of guilt spread across her face.

"Fine, a little sore but fine." Dib said while putting on a smile. "How have you been?" Dib waited for a fellow classmate's taunt to cut the silence, but none came. Dib looked back to the class, all were sitting in their seats quietly, watching him. Were they too surprised at how he looked to comment?

"I've been worried of course." Kat replied, bringing Dib's attention back to her.

"There was no need to be worried, you know that I made it through."

Kat nodded. "I know but, it's just hard, knowing you had to go through all that."

"Oh, I'm used to it, Zim…"

Zim. Speaking of him where was he?

Dib turned around and looked over to the desk that held his worst enemy, and just as he thought, Zim was there wearing a smug little smile. "Hello Dib, how was your time at the Hospital?" He asked.

"Zim." Dib said in a hushed tone as his eyes narrowed. "Actually, it was quite nice there, I got treated like a king on his throne. But enough about me, what have you been up to lately?"

Zim's fingers tapped together upon his desk. "Oh, nothing much, just taking care of a few things." A smirk spread across his face, he wanted Dib to know who had hurt him and he wanted to win this battle.

"Really? Well, I just want you to know that I am feeling as good as ever, if not better. What happened to me in the last few days has only made me stronger, I'm sure you're happy to hear that." A smirk also laid itself upon Dib's face, he was fighting back.

Zim's face tightened as he heard these words, his fingers stopped moving and curled into tight fists. Dib turned around, happy he had won, and was surprised to see Kat back in her seat. She smiled at him and bobbed her head to the side, showing a rather bored and possibly upset Miss Bitters. Dib quickly scurried to his seat and sat down.

"Ok class, now that our little distraction is over it's time to talk about President Man and why he should be run out of office."

-----

"Well, you see, Zim isn't what you would call human." Dib said, Kat walking by his side on the familiar walkway leading to home. "Call me crazy if you want but he's an alien, and if you ever come over to his house with me I'll show you."

Kat laughed one of the only bright things in his day. "Really Dib, he may be rather weird but he's not an alien, that's too mean."

"But it's true." Dib spat out. He now trusted Kat enough to tell her his findings about Zim and only hoped that she wouldn't run away like the other kids. "I have seen his house, it has a computer and this little robot called GIR that is disguised as a green dog!"

Kat gave Dib a worried look. "Maybe your accident hurt you head Dib, I think your acting strange."

Dib sighed. Great, He thought. She doesn't believe me. "Listen to me Kat, I wouldn't lie about this and that accident didn't even reach my brain or whatever." Dib waved his hand as to get away from that part of the conversation. "I want you to see the inside of Zim's house, please, just to show you that I'm sane."

Kat watched Dib with worried eyes. "Alright." She finally answered, breaking the awkward silence.

"Great, I'll be by your house at nine, when the sun begins to set. Is that ok?"

Kat nodded. "Yeah, that's fine." Kat smiled at Dib as she stopped, they had reached her street.

"Great, I'll be there as soon as possible. Be ready!" Dib walked off with a huge smile.

"I'll be waiting!" Kat called after him as she turned off towards her street. "And I'll be ready."
