If Only It Were True

Chapter 3
Dib felt her hands, resting upon his shoulders, he pressed his lips against hers, he lifted his hands and placed them on her hips... then oddly, Bernadette pulled away. "What's wrong?" Dib asked.
" I don't know, I don't think we should be doing this."
"Why not?"
"It's just-- I need sometime to think about it..." she turned and began to walk away, "I'll see you later..."
Dib stood there as he watched her walk away. He didn't know what to think, what to do. Should he go after her, or just let her walk away? "I love you!" he shouted. Bernadette turned around. "I've loved you since I first saw you!" he continued, "And, I just wanted to let you know... I think you're the greatest person, I've ever known!" Bernadette smiled, and continued walking.
"Ooo la la!" came a familiar voice from behind.
Dib spun around, "Zim!? What do you want?"
"I was wondering why you haven't drenched me in water all last and this week... so I decided to follow you around, see where you go, see what you do... Now I see.... little Dibby wormy's in love!"
"Do you think she loves me?" Dib asked.
"What?" Zim had not expected the human to ask him this question, "How on Irk, am I supposed to know!?"
Dib sighed, "I really hope she does..."
Zim looked at Dib, he never acted this way before... Zim had no idea what to say, what to do? But some how, in his heart he couldn't tease Dib, not now... he looked so... helpless. "Human... I wish you luck," Zim said as he turned and began walking away.
As Zim walked, he spotted Bernadette walking a few yards in front of him. Zim ran up to her. Bernadette was startled, she had never spoken to Zim, and all the stories Dib told her, made her fear the alien a little. "What do you want?" she squeaked.
"Relax human, I just wanted to ask you something..."
"What?"
"Dib, he loves you... do you love him?"
"I don't know... and why do you care? From what I've heard, you're not very nice to him."
"Well...Mmm.. I don't know! OK? Just answer my question, yes or no. Do you love Dib?"
" I don't know!"
"I said answer yes or no!"
"But I don't know!"
"Ugh! Why does Dib even like you, you're so... not... listening!"
"Just leave me alone..."
"Not until you answer my question."
Bernadette looked at Zim, "OK, answer my question, and then I'll answer yours... Do you think Dib is nice?" Zim didn't know how to answer. Bernadette sighed, "I really like Dib, but I need to know, from his enemy, if Dib is nice or mean?"
"Well, he's nice, I guess... not to me at times, but... well, he doesn't-- Well, let's just say, he hasn't killed me."
"So you are saying Dib's--"
"A nice guy," Zim finished.
"Thanks, Zim."
"Why did you need to know?"
"If Dib's greatest enemy can say Dib's a nice guy, then anyone can say it... And know I can say, I love Dib."
