Gaz got up on her feet, lying the paused Game Slave on Zim's couch and shouted "DIB YOU STUPID GIT (*I dunno what that means. I just got it from a Monty Python skit...*)! I OUTTA TELL DAD ON Y-!"
Gaz stopped in mid-sentense to get a good look at the purple haired guy. He was the most beautiful guy she'd seen in her entire life. He was so angelic-so fair. She gawked at him with her face glowing, and her mouth wide open. After about half a second a little bit of drool began to leak out of the corner of her mouth.
"Gaz?" Zim and Dib said in unison. Zim in concern for his muse, and Dib in concern of his only little sister and friend.
"I love you..." she said in a little voice.
Zim, Dib, Red, and Purple exchanged glances of confusion. Then finally Zim stepped forward toward the girl and said:
"I love you too!"
He gripped on to her little hand very gently.
Gaz suddenly snapped out of it. It was like she'd been listening to a really slow sweet song in her head, and someone had just turned off the music.
"Huh?" she said.
Zim blushed (as best an Irken of olive skin can blush) and said, "Y-you just said you loved me, and, and, and...."
Dib, Red, and Purple snickered a little.
"I love you!" Zim finally said after a little bit of stuttering.
But Gaz didn't hear. She was back in the trance. This time she was gripping Zim's hand unconsiously.
Dib couldn't help but laugh like a hyena. Now he had more on Zim. Not only did he have a CRUSH on his sister, he LOVED his sister...
Purple and Red joined him in laughing like hyena's. Boy, Zim was more moranic than they'd thought...
GIR came waddling in with his arms full of chicken eggs. He was grinning, and singing some stange version of the Doom Song.
"Doom da ba dee da ba dye da ba dee da ba dye da ba dee da ba..."
He stopped once he saw Gaz. He threw all the eggs up into the air and ran towards Gaz.
"CUPCAKE LADY!" He screamed as he glomped her (*For those of you who are not anime-literate, to glomp someone is to hug someone REALLY hard. Thank you.*)
She snapped out of the trance as GIR hugged her harder and harder.
"Get...your...stinkin'...paws...of...me youdarndirty DOG!" she shouted as she tired to wiggle free of GIR's roboty grip. (*There was a quote in there. Can you guess where it's from?*)
She wriggled free of GIR's grip, and stared at Zim for a second. It wasn't a loving stare. It wasn't a "Back off or I'll kill you" stare either. It was a mutual stare.
Dib leaned over to Zim and said, "Don't you have something to tell me sisiter, Zim???"
"I don't know what you're talking about human..."
Dib grinned, and said "I think you dooooo."
"What is it Zim?" Gaz said staring at him intensely.
"uh...."
"Tell her! Tell her! Tell her! Tell her! Tell her!" Purple and Red cheered hysterically.
"ummmm...." Zim looked to GIR, who was humming the strange doom song again.
With the pressure of everyone gawking at him, he shouted the first thing that came to mind:
"OH MY GOD! MY PANTS ARE RIDING UP!!!" he screamed, and he dashed out to the kitchen, with GIR happily striding behind.
Purple, Red, and Dib arrupted into hysterical laughter. Gaz giggled evily, even though she didn't have the slighttest idea what was going on, while Zim glowered in his laboratory for a few seconds.


Dib and Gaz walked all the way home in silence. Zim, Purple, and Red had gone completely of guard, so Did grabbed his sister and jumped out of the window.
Gaz walked home in a flutter. She seemed like she was on cloud nine. She wort of danced around the streets, as she hummed "Singin in the Rain". That came to a surprise, because the only time she'd heard that song was when Professor Membrane sang it in the shower. And back then she'd threatened to break her dad's cell phone in half if he didn't quit singing it.
Now her heart was as light as a feather. She was in love. That dreamy purple haired guy was the one for her! She knew it.
Dib way nearly equally happy. Even though he was a little freaked out from his sister dancing about the streets with a goofy grin on her face, he was still happy SHE was happy. And plus he was happy thaty Zim LOVED his sister. If he played his cards right Zim would be but a statue on his mantle, and his dad would no longer tease him about believing in aliens and bigfoot.
When they got home, they said their goodnights and went to bed. No more no less.
Dib had a strange dream that night. It was the exact same dream that he'd had the night before, only this time the note said:
Dear Dad and Dib,
I have run away to marry Zim. Dib, that means Zim'll be your brother in law. He will be related! Doesn't that excite you?
~Gaz
Dib once again woke up in a sweat. He was terrified. He hadn't thought of it that way. Zim as a brother was even MORE terrifying than Zim just marrying his little sister. And the worst part was, if Zim actaully won Gaz's heart, it wouldn't be a dream.
Dib raced into Gaz's room, and shook her awake. It took him a little while, but she finally awoke.
"GAZ! You can't fall in love with Zim! You just CAN'T!" Dib shouted frantically.
"What are retarded? I'm not in love with Zim. I don't even like Zim!" Gaz said angrilly.
"But--but I saw the way you were looking at him at his house! You told him you loved him!" Dib said even more franticallly than what he'd said before.
"I take it back," Gaz said, "you ARE retarded. I'm not in love with Zim!"
"Bu-but who were you saying you loved back there?" Dib was becoming quite confused.
"Why would I tell you?" Gaz said bellow her breath.
Dib scratched his head.
"You're right." he said, "Sorry for the confusion." he said, and then left.
Not three minutes later, Dib burst into the door again and shouted, "NOT THE PURPLE-HAIRED LEADER!"
Gaz was reading in bed this time. She hadn't gotton through half a strip of Calvin and Hobbes before Dib burst in.
Dib ran to his sister shouting "Please oh PLEASE don't tell me that you were talking to the Purple haired leader guy when you said that. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!"
Gaz looked over the comic and said, "I'm not saying anything."
"I KNEW IT! Whyyyyyy? Whyyyyyy Gaz?" Dib said. By this time he was on his knees and he was in groveling position.
"I'm not saying ANYTHING!" Gaz repeated.
"Why can't you fall in love with a normal HUMAN BEING?", Dib continued, "That red-haired scrawny guy with the glasses down the street is nice. Why don't you love HIM?"
"DIB!" Gaz said stadning up on her bed, so she was significantly higher than Dib.
"WHY DON'T YOU MIND YOU'RE OWN BUISSENESS???" she screamed.
"But...I'm only saying that for your own good." Dib said in a little voice.
"LEAVE!" Gaz said pointing out the door.
"But I-"
"LEAVE NOW!"
"Okay." Dib said sadly. He got himself up on to his legs, and he slowly walked to the door.
