If Only It Were True
By: Kari T.
Chapter 11
A few weeks later, Dib and Bernadette sat done under a tree eating their lunches on a oddly warm winter day. Dib had noticed that Bernadette just didn't seem her happy self lately. She also seemed to hate Rose even more, ignoring her, and giving her glares during class. Dib had also noticed Rose and Zim were getting closer to each other, and Zim was acting like his old sly self again. Starting to tease Dib like he used to. Dib glanced at Bernadette, then down at his food, "What's wrong he asked.
Bernadette looked up from her food and gave Dib a weak smile, "Nothing."
Dib frowned, "Something's wrong... I know it."
Bernadette sighed, "I'm not sure."
Dib studied her for a while then said, "You're jealous."
"What?"
"Rose. You are jealous of her. Zim used to like you, now he likes your enemy."
"Why, if that isn't the silliest thing--"
"Don't deny it," Dib said giving Bernadette a sly smile.
Bernadette sighed, "Yea, you're right... It's just-- It's Rose!"
"Now you know how I felt with you and Zim." There were a few moments of silence, Then Dib said, "Hey Bernadette."
"Yea?"
"You... you wanna come over to my house tomorrow?"
Bernadette smiled, "I'd love to."
That day, after skool, Bernadette and Dib walked home together. They smiled, talked, and laughed. Dib looked in Bernadette's eyes, he wished it could always be like this. Would he and Bernadette always be together? He sure hoped so... Dib noticed how everything seemed to be perfect around Bernadette, the sun shined, sky... blue... perfect. He couldn't even remember the times without Bernadette. He was in deep thought, thinking about Bernadette and how perfect she was...
"Dib? Were you listening to me?" Bernadette asked.
"What? Oh, sorry... What did you say?"
"You wanna watch the meteor shower tonight?"
"OK! Where?"
"Tonight. Mt. Poe. 8 PM."
"Got it."
Dib rushed to the meeting place. His heart pounding with excitement. He looked ahead, there he saw Bernadette sitting upon a blanket, neatly laid upon the green grass. She turned around and smiled, the moon light lit her face. Beautiful. "Hi Dib! Just on time! The show will be starting soon."
Dib sat down next to Bernadette, he loved being so close to her. They looked up at the sky, a streak of light passed through the air, then another, then another, and it continued. Bernadette rested her head on Dib's shoulder, staring up at the sky, "It is wonderful, isn't it?"
"Yea, the meteor shower always--"
"Not the stars." She looked in Dib's eyes, "Us." Bernadette smiled, "I love you."
"I love you too," he placed his lips on Bernadette's. And they kissed, the beautiful night sky shining above them.
