The following morning at skool, Dib couldn't stay awake. Zim was rather pleased.

Ms. Bitters began a horrible lecture about horrible doom, but Dib couldn't pay attention. Ms. Bitters noticed this.

"Dib!" she yelled. "No sleeping in class!"

"But Ms. Bitters," Dib tried to explain, "Zim's alien robot is in love with me, and he – I mean IT – kept me up all night – "

He was cut off by a roar of dirty-minded laughter.

"So, Dib, you like ROBOTS!"

"Do you love it back?"

"Does it have a sister?"

"Was ZIM there, too?"

At that last remark, Zim jumped on top of his desk and announced, "I am a perfectly NORMAL Earth-boy! I have NOTHING to do with the Dib's little… EXPERIMENTS!" He sat back down.

"Oh yes," he added, climbing back on top of his desk, "I DON'T have an alien robot! I'm NOT AN ALIEN! I am a NORMAL EARTH-BOY!" With that, he sat down again.

Dib turned his head away in shame, looking out the window. The windows had been boarded up, but through a medium-sized hole in one of the planks he could see the unmistakable face of Gir.

"There he is!" Dib stood up and pointed to the hole. By this time, though, nothing was there.

"Dib, stop interrupting my class," Ms. Bitters ordered.

When skool got out that afternoon, Dib was paranoid and nervous (well, even more so than before). He frantically glanced around to make sure he wasn't being stalked by you-know-who, then ran home as fast as his legs would carry him.

Meanwhile, Zim was back in his base, conversing with the Tallest via computer-phone. He relayed his plan to enslave the humans by making them fall in love with robots that would lead them back to Irk, and the Tallest desperately tried to hold back fits of hysteria.

Gir floated into view. "He loves me, he loves me not…" he mused, pulling petals off a daisy.

Tallest Red almost choked with laughter. "And the HUMANS fall in love with the…" he couldn't take it anymore – he fell off-camera laughing.

"Gotta go!" Purple said quickly, about to burst himself. They cut the transmission.

"He loves me, he loves me not…"

"Gir, STOP THAT!" Zim commanded.

"OK, Master." He ate the flower.
