************************************************************************Note from the author of this chapter:First off, I want to thank ZimLover05 for helping me with my stories. I'm writing this chapter to repay her for all that she's done. This chapter I've written may be a bit corny and OOC, but hell to all everybody cares! I had to get a song to fit the chapter, yet I picked something really corny. That's okay, I guess.not everybody's perfect. Now, to all of you out there, this story is originally from a role- play we did. Okay, I hope you enjoy this chapter.for I've worked hard overcoming my writer's block for her! Believe me.soda binges work! Here's my advice: Grab a couple of mountain dew cans, two candy bars, and.BAM! Your writer's block is broken in a snap! Don't believe me? TRY IT!Peacemaker Aqua

************************************************************************Chap ter Two All That You've Done



The clock slowly ticked, echoing in the mind of the young Irken.

He opened his blood-red eyes, focusing in on the clock.

/You always reached out to me and helped me believe,

all those memories we share, I will cherish every one of them/

It was early morning, and the sun would be coming up anytime soon. But to him, it was probably going to take an eternity.

/The truth of it is there's a right way to live, and you showed me/

How did Zim get caught up in love?

Lord only knows how this could have happened of all times.

/So now you live on in the words of a song, you're a melody/

Since the day his mother died ,

zim was taught that in order to invade the galaxy ,

you must put aside all emotion ..especially love for another.

..But Zim dared to break that rule when he met ZimLover.

/You stand here with me now/

His life changed the moment he met her.

In the beginning, he never did like her that much.

She was like an insult to him, a threat to his mission,

and such an annoying thing she was.

But from time to time he got to know her,

and Zim fell into an emotion he was forbidden to have.

Zim had fallen, and it seems that he's unable to get back up.

/ Just when fear blinded me you taught me to dream,

I'll give you everything I am and still fall short of,

what you've done for me/

He always heard tales about how love was like being in a utopia.

Like the rivers were slick with sweet chocolate ,

and the clouds tasted like honey.

..But he found out later that love was not like being in a wonderful fairy tale.

.. No, it was much harder.

/In this life that I live,

I hope I can give love unselfishly/

Zim breathed in,

reflecting off of those times when Red and Purple tried to get to him.

..And how she stood up, willing to risk her life for him.

He was never the same since.

/I've learned the world is bigger than me;

you're my daily dose of reality/

Zim glanced down at her in his arms, watching her sleep.

..It seemed comforting watching her this way,

and he wondered if she felt the same .

/You stand here with me now, on and on we sing, on and on we sing this song/

Zim decided to get more sleep, for the big days they'd be facing soon.

As he closed his scarlet eyes,

three words of a promise brushed off of his lips swiftly.

/'Cause you stand here with me/

".I love you."
