Project 59 by Bonez aka HappyNoodleGurl
Chapter 12
The three stood outside the house, and Professor Membraine locked his front door. "Are you sure Gaz'll be ok by herself?" Dib asked, and his dad turned around and walked to a random Gray van that stood in the driveway. (A/N: I read this dude's story, and after he said he could imagine P.M. driving a van, so could I. ^^''''' Thankies for inspiring!)
"Of course she'll be fine! She's tough, and we'll be before she wakes up anyway." he said, opening the van door. Raye looked up at the October night sky and felt a cool breeze touch her hurt face. She looked up at the stars, and felt Dib grab her hand. She looked over at him and smiled, pleased to see his face.
"C'mon Raye, let's go." he said sweetly, and she nodded following him to the van. They jumped in it, and she noticed there were no back seats. Dib sat down on the floor and motioned for her to sit next to him.
"It's ok, I'll sit back here with you." he said as she sat down. The Professor sat down in the driver's seat, and closed the door. Raye noticed on the gear shift, there was a little red button on the top. Dib must have caught on, because he explained what it was for.
"Dad's always busy with his work, so sometimes he even has to do it in traffic. He doesn't have any seats in the back because when he presses that button, the floor turns into his own personal lab." Raye thought how a whole lab could just pop outta no where, but not wanting to question, she just nodded and smiled. "Ok."
Professor Membraine started the van and it rolled out of the driveway onto the street. "Would you like to listen to anything?" he asked the two, and Dib nodded. "Yea, put in something happy." His dad did the smile-with-the-eye thing(since you can't see his lower face) and stuck in an orange Cd in the player.
He changed it to track#2 and as soon as the song "Heaven" started playing, Dib put his arm around Raye and she leaned her head on his shoulder.(A/N: Ok, I like punk -n- stoof, but I'm also a techno geek too. Please don't sue! ^_^) After 4 songs later, they finally pulled into a parking lot of a Punkin' Doughnuts. (A/N: It's called thinkin' on yer toes! ^.~)
The van stopped, and everyone got out. Tucking his keys into a pocket, Professor M. shut the door and walked into the shop. Dib and Raye followed, and stopped to admire the doughnutty heaven. Doughnuts of all shapes, sizes, and flavors allined the shelves bolted to the walls.
To their right was a small cafe-like place, with black and white checkerboard tile and small, Victorian-type tables and chairs. The whole place smelled deliciously, and the Professor turned from the counter to face the two. "Well, what do you both want?" he asked, as they stared at the big, chalkboard menu on the wall.
A lady with blue hair and purple eyes walked behind the counter and tied her purple apron on. Straighting her short, poofy hair she looked at the Professor with a smile. "Hello! Welcome to Punkin' Doughnuts! Would you like to try our new Mix and Match deal? Buy any 2, get any other 2 free!"
He looked back at Dib and Raye. "Well, what would you like to do?" They both agreed on the deal, so they'd all get one and one extra for Gaz. After they told him their flavors, he turned back around to the counter lady.
"Yes! We'll take a Mix and Match! One Blueberry filled, Cherry filled, and two Chocolate filled with two sides of Hot-Cocoa, please!" She smiled and added it up on the register. "That'll be $5.35, please!" He nodded and gave the lady her money. After putting it in the register and giving him the reciept, she brought out their doughnuts and drinks.
Thanking her, he took the bag and all three of them sat at one of the tables in the corner. "So Raye, have you known my son long?" the Professor asked her as they started to eat their food. "No sir, I just moved here a couple weeks ago. He's been really sweet to me though, and we even share simular interests." Dib looked over at her and smiled. Cramming another bite of her doughnut in, she did too.
"Interesting....so, you believe that 'paranormal' science as well?" he asked, and she took a sip of her chocolate milk. "Yes sir, I do believe in the term 'We are not alone' and that there is all kinds of energies on, and away from, Earth." "Well, there's no changing some people. Excuse me, I must use the bathroom!" he said, getting up and running towards the men's room leaving Dib and Raye alone.
("Perfect! This is the perfect time I can tell her the truth about Zim! Screw waiting until tomorrow, I'll do it now!) thought Dib, as he took the last gulp of his drink. Clearing his throat, he grabbed Raye's hand and looked her in the eyes. She met his gaze and stared at him confused. "Dib, what's amatter?"
"Listen Raye, there's something I've got to tell you! You really want to know why I hate Zim so much?" Not wanting to talk about anything that reminded her of Zim, she sighed and her stomach started feeling sicky. "What about.....Zim?" His grip on her hand tightened as he stared at her sternly.
"You believe in aliens, right?" After she nodded, he continued. "Well, for 2 years I've been watching Zim closely and I have all the evidence to believe that he's not....well, from Earth." He turned away, waiting for the rejection that usually follows, but Raye's eyes widened and she gasped. Flashbacks of certain "quotations" from his journal started running through her mind.
("First he tries to stop my mission - Maybe if I captured her she'd be a great experiment! - If the Tallest knew how attracted I was to her they'd pull me out of Impending Doom II for sure! - that resembled our antennas - and lightly raked my claws up and down- She grabbed my antenna's firmly - I still don't know how I knew what her anatomy looked like") All those statements that Zim made started making sense now that Dib had mentioned it.
"You're right." she said. For a moment, nothing moved. Everything stood still. No one had ever agreed with Dib. No one. Not knowing how to react, he looked over at her astonished. "Really? You believe me?"
She looked down at the ground. "Dib, remember when you said nothing will come between us? Did you mean that?" she asked him, and he stared at her puzzled. "Yes, I do." She sighed, and closed her eyes. "I....went over Zim's today. Nothing happened really, he just kissed me. After things started getting wierd, I got up and left. I couldn't stand it! I wanted you, and no one else! Please don't be mad, I left before anything happened."
Dib looked hurt, and Raye wrapped her arms around him. "I promise, I couldn't do anything. I only want you. I only love you." Before he could say anything else, Professor Membraine walked back into the room holding his stomach. "Ok kids, let's get back to the house!"
A/N: Hey hey everyone! God, THIS IS LONG! Actually, this isn't all of what originally was chapter 12. Actually, the whole chapter 13 was attached to this when writing. It was just to...long. I had to paste it to another page, just too much reading! Heh, this chapter was almost pointless. Infact, if it wasn't for Dib telling Raye the truth about Zim, I would've had no point in this one. Weeeeeeeell, the next chapter is where Dib and Raye go back to his house and "talk." Hmmm..I know what's going to happen! Heh, damn teenage hormones.**shakes head** Well, see ya in the next chapter.bai!
