Dare again.
This is weird, but when Zim and I walked into the auditorium, a lot of people looked at us and whispered to themselves.
A few girls came up to me and said 'happy birthday', but it was nothing compared to the boys'.
Zim must have had an idea. "Dare," he ordered, "stay here; I'll be right back,"
He ran across the auditorium to the stage. He talked to the DJ about something, and he ran back. "Listen to this:"
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
"Oh my God," I realized, "Cascada? Truly Madly Deeply?"
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
be everything that you need.
He nodded. "A slow-dance song," he whispered. He held my hand, my waist. We swayed to the beat.
I love you more with every breath
truly, madly, deeply, do...
I will be strong
I will be faithful
Because I am counting on a new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning yeah
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
"When did you learn to slow dance?" I asked.
"Gir makes me watch a lot of movies with him," Zim replied.
I raised an eyebrow at him, "That makes sense."
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
That'll make you wanna cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection
Of the highest power and lonely hours
The tears devour you
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
After that point, I started softly lip-syncing the rest of the song.
Oh, can't you see it baby?
Don't have to close your eyes
'cause it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply, do...
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
(I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me)
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
Sadly, the song ended. The spotlight was on us and both of us were nervous. But when the last line played Zim and I held our breaths... And kissed.
The school cheered as loudly as they did when it was the talent show.
So the summary says that I can't decide who to bring to the dance with me, right? Well, Dib wrote it, but I gave him the idea.
Zim wins in a landslide.
