Chapter 7: Dib's Secret
"Because of my absence you all have a three billion word essay over what you did on your day "off". Due at the end of class!!" Ms. Bitters crowed, and walked out of class with a slam. "Great, back in Springs Skool we hardly ever had homework..." Kic sighed, and Dib looked over at her from across the room. "Hey, Dib..." Zim whispered, having been moved back behind Dib again. "What..." Dib sighed, annoyed. "Do you like Kic?" He asked, and for a moment Dib went silent. "Who?" He asked, he was playing stupid with Zim. "You know, the brown haired, blue eyed, fair skinned human who I use to sit by!?" Zim characterized, and Dib sighed. "Her? She's just the girl who has enough sense to understand your plot to take over the world!" Dib hissed, and before Zim could pressure him anymore Ms. Bitters came back in and they wrote their essays.
Later, at lunch Zim decided to sit next to Dib, just for annoyance purposes of course. "Sooo, Dib come on. Tell me whether or not you like Kic!" Zim insisted, and Kic who had just come from the lunch line and was behind Dib going to her table with Gaz stood to listen to the answer. "No, she's just... There." Dib sighed, tired of being pestered. Zim realized that Kic was behind him and asked a more deeper question. "Why Dib? Or I'll tell everyone you LOOOVE her." He smiled, and even more annoyed Dib stood up, inches from running into Kic. "I just don't! She's stupid okay! Now leave me alone!!" Dib roared, and flung his hand back into Kic's tray.
Food went flinging on the ground along with her tray and Dib realized that she was right behind him... The whole time. "Uh, oh... Sorry Kic, here let me-" He began, but Kic interrupted him. "No, I think I can do this by myself Dib. And Zim, I'll find a way to defeat you now... All by myself. I don't care Dib whether you're Dr. Membrane's son. I can do this alone." Kic sighed, and left for the table where Gaz sat, without her food. "Aaaaaw, look you made Kic cry." Zim laughed, and all Dib could do was sit there and be mocked.
"Let's see... Zim would be here... And, the defense of his lawn gnomes cease when you pull this wire.." Kic sighed, plotting out a course to rewire Zim's lawn gnomes to be powerless. She was up in her room with a blueprint of Zim's house on her floor. "I can do this without Dib's stupid gadgets... Especially considering he hates me. He's always failed to beat Zim so now it's my turn." She sniffed, trying not to cry again. I wonder what he's doing right now anyway." She pondered.
"Let's see the time freeze should be able to shock Zim into a paralysis for up to two minutes, just enough time for me to rewire his house to be powerless." Dib sighed, on his porch looking at a small gun-like weapon. "Man, I wish I had two brains helping me out on this." He wished, and he thought of Kic. "Wait, Kic had a plan too... She said tonight she was going to rewire those lawn gnomes of Zims... But Zim was planned to be gone on that day when I was suppose to distract him. But I didn't and she didn't know that part of the plan!" Dib crowed, standing up. "I have to help her! Zim forced me to say I didn't like her... She's okay I guess." He admitted, and took off into the street.
"Gir go get me one of those soda thingys... There kinda good." Zim sighed, sitting on his couch. "Yes master!" Gir said, and left for the kitchen. "Doodoo doo doo." Gir sung hopping into the kitchen. "Hmmm. What did he want? Soap?" Gir interpreted and brought this to Zim. He didn't notice and popped it into his mouth. "Ack! Gir! What is this!" Zim demanded looking at it. "Soap?" Gir smiled, and Zim slammed it on Gir's head. "Oh well." Gir shrugged, and ate it. But, just then, the power went out. "Intruders..." Zim whispered, sneaking to the window.
"... I'll prove Dib wrong. I'm not stupid. I can do this on my own." Kic growled under her breath. She was pulling wires from Zim's lawn gnomes and messing them all up. "Kic! No, don't!" Dib called, running as fast as he could down the street. Kic turned to see him and cringed. Ignoring him she kept on unplugging stuff. "No! If you pull and rewire too much the gnomes will go into overload and open fire!" Dib called, and Kic pulled another wire up. "Foolish human! Hahahaha!" Zim laughed, and the ground shook from underneath her. "Wha?!" Kic called, and a giant robot was summoned from underneath her. "Kic!!" Dib called up to her as the robots monstrosity grew. "Dib help! Wait, no... I can do this." Kic pondered, thought she now felt she needed him.
"Fools! Careless humans!" Zim laughed, and nodded at the robot. It then picked up Kic and Dib ran up to it. "Let her go!" He called. The robot looked down at Dib and kicked him into the fence. He sat there against the fence with his paralysis invention. "I can only use this once... If I use it now I'll never be able to take my plan into action again..." Dib pondered. "Aaaah!" Kic cried, as the robot flung her into the air. "Torture the human! Mwahaha!" Zim smiled, and Dib stood up. "If I suspend Zim then the robot will be suspended too." Dib sighed, and knew what he had to do. "Hey Zim! Take this!" Dib called, and zapped him.
As Dib thought he was frozen along with the robot. Kic though, was left to fall carelessly to the ground. "Kic!" Dib called, and ran underneath her. Slamming against the ground he caught her in his arms. "Dib... I was so scared..." She sighed, crying. "It's okay Kic. I promise." He smiled at her. "Come on, we have to go before they wake up from their paralysis." Dib insisted, and she nodded and got off his lap. She stood up and they ran into the next street closer to their homes. "Dib... I never thought I'd see you do something so.... Heroic." Kic smiled, at him trying to wipe her tears away.
"My job is to save this world and now... Well, the truth is Kic you are-" He began but Gaz came from behind him. "Hey dork! Time to go home!" She crowed. "Oh, hey Gaz." Kic said, and Gaz nodded. "Bye... Kic." Dib sighed, and walked away with Gaz waving. Kic only stood there watching as his silohette faded into the night. "Bye Dib... I love you." She admitted into the silent night and left for her house.
In Dib's room all he could do was look out the window at the stars. "Kic... If only I could tell you. Kic, I fight for this world and you've become MY world now. If only you felt the way I do." He sighed, and fell onto his bed dreaming of one thing... Her face. Her smile. Her....
