So I read a comment and realized that the person was right. This is too slow moving. So, going to move it a little faster. But first, I need to take their advice and put thelast three chapters together. So I'm going to do that. Hope you like it. And be sure to thank Ngrey651 for that idea...

Gaz's stomach growled.

"What the heck was that?!" Zim jumped.

Gaz just rolled her eyes. "My stomach, Zim. I'm hungry."

"I knew that," he said, regaining his confidence. "What do you want?"

"Um, how about Bloatie's pizza with a side of sweet release? Sound good to you?"

"Bloatie's is good!" cried Gir from the backseat.

Now it was Zim's turn for an eye roll. "It sounds better you know, Little Gaz."

"If it sounds so good, why not just do it?"

"I told you, I need you out of the way."

"What about Dib. If I can defeat your "Oh so masterful plan", then why can't he?"

Zim burst out laughing. "Oh, please. That sadly great example for a human can never defeat my masterful plan."

Gaz was not convinced. "Yeah, whatever. But when your "Masterful plan," blows up in your face, just come crying to me."

"Oh, there will be tears. His, if he tries to interfere."

"Probably. But that doesn't change the fact that that "Sadly great example for a human," has beaten you before. Let's not forget that part."

Zim gave a deep exhale. "Why must you rain on my parade?"

Gaz glanced down at what she was wearing and noticed that, for the first time, she was still wearing the towel. Though, it wasn't white anymore.

"Um, Zim," she said.

"What, you Infernal Human?"

"I need actual clothes. I can't keep going around in this towel. I swear, I already feel naked."

He looked at me. "You're not," he assured her.

She slapped his arm for looking. "But it doesn't change the fact that I still feel like I am."

"Fine. We'll stop to get you clothes."

"Thanks. You are the grand captain of "the clothing search", I promise."

"Aw, thanks, Gaz. That makes me feel better."

"Yes, aside from the fact that that was sarcasm."

He pouted. And Gaz had to admit it was kind of cute. Wait, what?!

She shook her head to clear that thought. And she wondered what was wrong with her for thinking that again.

"Gaz-Human, is something wrong? You seem..." he paused, afraid that she'd kill him, but finished, "...kind of scared. Are you alright?"

That snapped her back into reality. "Don't ever even imply that I have fears. I have none."

"Oh, come on, Gaz, everyone has at least one fear."

"Oh yeah? If that's so, what's your's?"

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm Irken! I fear nothing!"

"Zim. What is it?"

"Nothing. I'm not afraid."

"But you are. You defended yourself too fast. So, out with it."

"Sp-sp-spi-spiderssss, okay?! The almighty Zim fears Spiders!"

That made Gaz laugh. "You've been here for what, seven years, and you develope a fear of such a small creature."

"For your information, millions of people have arachnophobia. It's my biggest fear. It's no small thing."

"You know, you talk tough, but you're not. You're such a scaredy-cat."

"Am not. So I shared my fear, what's your's?"

"I told you I fear nothing."

His gaze softened on her. Gaz, we both know that there's no such thing as a fearless person. I'll let you in on another secret. While spiders scared me, you scare me five times more. Gaz, what are afraid of?"

"Death."

Immediate silence.

Zim was surprised. "What? I thought you liked death."

"No. Nobody likes death. And it's not death that I fear. It's the sense of loneliness that follows."

"God, Gaz, that's a bit dramatic, don't you think?"

"No. It's the truth. If Dib died, I'd soon follow from loneliness."

"Dying of loneliness? That's not physically possible. And I know you know that."

"It's a simile. I'm using one to show you how much the Idiot means to me."

"I never knew you cared about him."

"Course I do. He's my brother, though most of the time I wish he wasn't."

"That actually makes sense. You seem to have a protective sense about him with you. Especially when it came to my plans."

She shrugged. "Most of the time, it's because I couldn't leave the house without Dib. Which meant no Bloaties."

"Do you do everything for pizza."

"No, not pizza. Bloaties. BEST. PIZZA. EVER!"

Zim smiled at her declaration.
