A/N: (YAY! Another one!) Apparently I was not paying attention when I created Ami. WeyrdChic brought to my attention her likeness to a 'Sailor Moon' character. Well she's not. Ami is an altered Mary Sue of my friends' creation called Mia (Mia, Ami, get it?). I chose blue hair because of the blue haired girl that sits behind Zim. I apologize and am setting is straight since I really can't stand SM.
And I thank all of you for your reviews.
Jhonen Vasquez is a God. All praise the almighty J.V.!
The Ally?
Gaz ignored her lunch and listened to Zim instead. She enjoyed the dark looks Dib was giving her as she did this.
"I really suggest we keep doing what we normally do around each other." Zim said. He to had noticed Dib watching them like a hawk from across the lunchroom.
"Sure thing." Gaz said. "But Dib and Ami are planning something. I know for a fact that Dib called her that night we talked. And he minimizes his instant message windows when I come into the room."
"If they're planning something, then we should too." He tapped the copy of her script she had laid out on the table.

Ami and Dib made their way through the parking lot. They found Dibs' car and he pulled out his keys to unlock it.
"Today was just harsh." Ami said setting her bag on the ground. She glanced around the lot and her jaw dropped. "Dib! Look!" She pointed across to Zims' car.
Dibs' eyes followed her direction and dropped his keys.
Zim pushed Gaz farther against his own car as they kissed. His alien hands reaching over places that made Dib want to kill him.
He stormed across the lot and jerked Zim off of Gaz. Wasting no time on words he slugged Zim in the jaw.
Zim was spun around by the impact and hit the asphalt hard.
"Dib! What are you doing?" Gaz demanded. She pushed her brother aside and knelt down by Zim.
Dib pulled her up by her arm. "We are going home." He said.
She glared at him. "Let me go." She said angrily.
"What were you doing with him?" Dib asked pulling her away from the car.
She struggled free and went back to Zim. "What did it look like genius?" She asked giving him another death glare.
Zim shook away the dizziness and sat up. "Damn that hurt." He rubbed his jaw.
"You!" Dib yelled pointing at Zim. "Keep your filthy alien hands off my sister!"
Ami put a restraining hand on his arm. "Dib calm down."
"I'll do whatever I feel like Dib." Gaz said. She pushed her brother away from Zims' car. Then she turned back and helped Zim up. "Can you drive?"
"Sure." He said nodding. He glared at Dib. He wasn't supposed to hit him so hard. He went around to the driver side of his car.
"What are you doing?" Dib asked his sister.
"I'm going with Zim to a party. And there is nothing you can do!" She poked him hard when she said 'you'. She got in the passenger side of the car and Zim started it up.
Ami pulled Dib back from glaring at the car as they pulled away. "Come on Dib, there's nothing we can do right now."
"If he hurts her I swear I'll take out his heart myself."
* * *
Gaz reached over and inspected Zims' bruised jaw. "Sorry about that. I knew he would get angry but I didn't think he would hit you."
Zim nodded. "It's alright Gaz." He said.
She noticed he was a bit subdued since they pulled out of the school parking lot. "So, that went well considering."
"We did get a reaction. That's for sure." Zim said.
"I know. I mean who knew Dib had such a mean right hook?" Gaz asked setting her bag on the car floor.
The vehicle was Human in origin but had been altered by Zim to better suite his needs.
They pulled up along side a group of cars that had congregated at a house. Gaz hadn't lied to Dib. They were going to a party.
Gaz undid her seat belt. "Oh, and Zim?"
"Yeah?"
"Just a tip. When stage kissing, one doesn't usually use their tongue." She winked at him and got out.
Zim sat there a moment and watched her walk towards the house.
"I must have been here too long." He said aloud. "The Human media, it's influenced me. Gaz is an ally and nothing more. A Human who is aiding me."
He glanced back at her retreating form. Then again he was rationalizing and he knew it. "Well, this should be interesting." He got out of his car, locked it up and looked forward to a long drive home afterwards.

Dib stared hatefully at his computer screen. He was trying to finish a homework but just couldn't. Not with the memory of Gaz in the arms of that alien. The image of what happened playing back again and again.
Hitting Zim had felt good but it did little to make the bigger issue any better.
His instant messenger lit up announcing Ami was online.
He didn't immediately respond.
'Hello? Dib? You there?' Amis' message came up suddenly.
'Yeah, I'm here.' He responded.
'Still upset?'
'Wouldn't you be?' He sat back in his chair. 'Maybe we should implicate the plan.'
'Are you sure? I mean, now that we know how close they are, maybe he wouldn't hurt her.'
'I don't want HIM near her! Just meet me tomorrow, usual place, usual time.'
'Sure, I'll be there, jut don't do anything with out me. Okay?'
He paused for a long time. 'Okay, I won't do anything without you.'
'Good.'
'Look, it's late, I got a headache, I'm going to bed.'
'Night.'
'Night.'
He turned off his instant messenger and stared at his homework. After a while he turned that off too.
He got up and went downstairs and sat in the den. He could see the stairs from there. He sat in the dark all alone.
His father was either in his lab downstairs or at the one across town.
After the longest wait of his life the front door came open. He heard hushed giggling as Gaz came in.
"Shhh! My brother is here you know." She hissed to someone else.
A sick feeling in his stomach told Dib who that 'someone' was.
More giggling.
"I like this alliance." It was Zim of course.
Dib clenched his jaw as they came into his view. They looked drunk. He wondered which of them had driven home.
Zim reached clumsily towards Gaz. "I mean I really like it." He tried to kiss her and was successful when she turned her head the right way.
Dib held as still as he could. He wanted to just kill Zim but some how couldn't bring himself to get up.
Zim and Gaz fell a little and landed on the stairs not getting up for a long time. Finally Gaz pulled herself free of Zim and started to crawl up the stairs telling him to go home.
Zim sat on the stairs and 'hiccuped' before going out the front door.
Dib forced himself to release his white-knuckle grip on the arm rests of his chair. He closed his eyes and covered his face.
* * *
Zim woke up that Saturday morning with a monster headache. The Irkan version of a hang over was uglier than the Human one but more short-lived. He would be fine in an hour while he knew Gaz would only just be getting around.
He could recall most of what happened last night. He and Gaz had celebrated their triumph with Dib with a few drinks.
A few drinks that had almost turned into one-too-many.
He was glad he had been in his wits enough to take out his contacts last night or his eyes would have been all sticky again. He inspected himself in the mirror and noticed a couple dark spots on his neck. He touched them wondering what they were.
Then realization dawned.
So he really didn't know what all happened last night.
He thought back as far as he could.
The party, watching a fight between two girls over the same guy. Getting in the car, talking with Gaz. Then it all became a blur of good feelings and twisting roads.
He shook his head. Maybe Gaz remembered more, or maybe they were better off not knowing.
In any case he would have to go see her and help her with her own hang over. But later, he still had a headache of his own to deal with.
And I thank all of you for your reviews.
