(Hiya, y'all. Gah... here I am, working dillegently on my slash fic, when I *should* be working on about twenty others... or I could be doing homwork, but do
I really look that stupid? ^-^ Big cyborg thankies go out to Arm&Leg, and to answer your question: Thanx veddy much for the offer, but I think I've got this
fic under control. I STILL don't know where this is headed, as I've been pretty much typing everthing out at random. Hopefully, it'll end up somewhere
good!! Welp, I'm off to bash Nick for delaying the Zim marathon. ::grabs a HUUUUUUUUUGE metal bat from her hall closet:: Who's coming with me?)

Chapter Four: As Your Heart Desires
Dib took a step back in surprise. "Z-Zim, I..."
"You what?" Zim inquired. "That was what you wanted, was it not?"
A nod. "Yes, but... how did you know?"
Zim smiled. "I didn't. It was merely what I wanted from you, and fortunately, it was given to me." He gave Dib's hand a light squeeze. "See you at skool
tomorrow."
Dib watched Zim walk towards his home. Dib bit his lip; it took a lot of will power not to chase after Zim and beg him not to leave. But he *did* leave with
a promise of return, which was better that Dib was used to. Satisfied, he turned arond and stepped inside.
It was quiet in the house. The hum from the hall-light was the only sound Dib could make out. As he explored the house further, the sounds of video game
music floated up to his ears.
In the kitchen, Gaz was sitting contentedly at the kitchen table, banging away on her GS3. Quietly, Dib tiptoed around her to the fridge, trying his best not to
break her concentration. He grabbed a soda, and upon comfirming that it wasn't the last, sat himself down at the table and reached for the front page.
For a short moment, Dib was able to enjoy the newspaper without any distraction. Finally, after four minutes of dead silence, Gaz shut the top of her
GameSlave with a /click/ and said, "So, are you two going out?"
Dib's head shot up. "What?!"
Gaz's expression never changed. "Well, are you?"
Dib felt his face grow warm. "Wh-what makes you... say that?" he said, avoiding her gaze.
"Well, it certainly looks that way."
Dib cast his sister a pleading look. "Please don't tell anyone, Gaz. If I---"
Gaz held out a hand to silence him. "Relax, Dib. You date anyone your paranormal heart desires."
"...r...really, Gaz? You'd do that for me?"
The purple-haired maiden shrugged and turned her game back on. "As long as you two don't ruin my life in any way, I'm cool with it."
Dib smiled, relieved. "Wow. Thanks, Gaz. you have no idea---"
"Great Dib, now shut up. I'm concentrating."
Dib lowered his head, a wide grin plastered against his face. God, after years of pain, Dib's life was finally smoothing out. It was all going so---
/tap tap tap/
Dib lifted his head, listening.
/tap tap tap/
What was that... no... "Gaz, what's that sound?"
/tap tap tap/
Gaz never flinched. "I think it's called 'rain', Dib."
"...Rain?" he said weakly. (Zim!!) Panicked, Dib jumped from his chair and snatched up his rain coat. "I need to go out, Gaz! I'm taking your umbrella!" He
snatched it up on his way out the door.
"Break it and die!" called a voice from the other room.
Dib sped down the sidewalk as fast as his lage would allow. There was no way Zim could have gotten home yet...
He just hoped it wasn't too late.
