There Is No Love
Chapter 1
January Questions
***
Author's Note: This story takes place after my other story, "Braids". If you are too lazy to read "Braids" then lemme give you a summary:
Dib is twenty years old, and meets a young lady named Esther. Because of the braids Esther always wore, Dib gave her the nick name Braids. Zim and Gaz return, after they had been missing for five years, and we find out that they have gotten married. Despite his hatred for Zim, Dib manages to work together with his enemy as they unravel the mystery of a crashed UFO. They meet a guy named Teq, who turns out to be an alien... half Razerken and half Crewkin. Soon they find out that Earth will soon be invaded by Razerkens. Before they flee Earth, Dib and Esther get married. During their journey to planet Sidini, they are captured by Razerkens and must live in a small dark room for a few days; they also find out that Esther is pregnant. Teq's dad surprisingly comes to the rescue, but dies in battle against the Razerkens. Teq, Zim, Gaz, Esther, and Dib continue their journey to Sidini, and finally get there... and that's where I will now continue in this story, "There Is No Love"
***
Update:
In this story, Teq, Zim, Gaz, Esther, and Dib have been living on Sidini for twelve and a half years. They all have a paranormal investigation service. Esther and Dib's first child, January (twelve years old) does not like her life and dreads going to skool. Dib Junior, Dib and Esther's second child (ten years old), doesn't mind skool and can always be found in his room on his labtop. Zim and Gaz have their only child, Dex (eleven years old) who is a "take-charge" type of kid. Like his cousin January, he is very adventurous. Teq has finally found a girl of his own, Kila. They are married, with no kids. January and Dib Junior have been brought up believing they are Crewkins, and their parents have always lived on Sidini... they know nothing about Earth.

"Hello? Gaz?" Esther spoke into the phone, "Is January at your house? ... she isn't? Dex is missing too? ... well thanks anyway... bye." Esther slammed the phone on the table with frustration, "Where in the world is that girl!?" she walked to the staircase, "Junior!" she called.
Soon Dib Junior came down the stairs. He looked almost just like his father did at his age, but no glasses, "Yeah Mom?"
"Do you know where your sister is?"
Junior shook his head, "No Mom."
Esther sighed, and Junior ran back up the stair case and into his room, "You better be getting ready for bed in there!" Esther called after him.
The front door opened and Dib walked in, January walking in behind him, then Dex. January wore her long black hair in two braids. And Dex looked much like Zim with his human disguise on, only the hair were real and the eyes were not lenses. "She was in the hills again," said Dib, "January? Don't you have something to say to your mom?"
January hung her head in guilt, "Sorry Mom."
Esther knelt down and gave January a hug, "I know how you like to go on your adventures, but you need to tell me where you're going, OK?" January nodded. Esther turned to Dex, "You better go home... your parents are very worried about you."
"OK," he frowned, "Well, bye Jani."
"I'll walk you home," said Dib, and the two of them walked out the door.
"Bye Dex!" January waved after him. "Oh! Mom! Guess what!"
"What?" Esther smiled.
January reached into her pocket and pulled out a small red rock, "Look! I found it in the hills. Isn't it neat-o?"
"Very neat-o."
Dib walked through the door, he looked at his watch, "It's nine... January, you better be getting to bed. You've got skool in the morning."
".... actually.... I've been meaning to talk to you guys about skool."
"What?" asked Esther.
"I'm quitting skool."
"No you're not," Esther said taking January's hand and leading her up the stairs.
"But Mom! Skool's no fun!"
"Skool is for learning. Not fun," Dib said following them upstairs. "Besides, if you quit skool, wouldn't you miss your friends?"
"Friends? Dad! I have none! I do not know of this friendship! I know nothing of this love! At skool I suffer! I have no friends! My classmates see me as a hideous creature!" she said running into her room. She stopped when she saw her reflection in the mirror, "... why are we different?" She turned to her parents, "We have peachy skin, four fingers, and no antennas... we're the weirdest Crewkins on Sidini. Are we even Crewkin?"
Dib and Esther exchanged glances, Dib cleared his throat, "January, we'll talk about this tomorrow."
