Zim sat in the center of the room, alone and betrayed. Of all the stupid, stinking HUMANS to fall victim to my plans, I never expected the DIB-WORM to be the first. He seemed so…DIFFERENT than the others…and Gir – what's up with HIM? Oh no… Zim stood up in mid-thought, eyes widening. I can't complete my mission without Gir!
"Nobody puts one over on ZIM!" he suddenly announced, pointing a finger to the heavens melodramatically. "I'm going to END this ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
Meanwhile, Dib sat on the end of his bed, sighing in confusion. Zim had overreacted more than usual when he saw Dib and Gir together like that, but it wasn't Dib's fault – Gir had grabbed his hand just as Zim opened the door. When Zim flipped out, Dib wondered…
Was Zim jealous? Nah, that can't be. It's just wishful thinking – wishing that Zim didn't hate me so much –
Dib's thoughts were broken by Gir jumping onto him and knocking him backwards. "I love you!"
"No you don't," Dib corrected him, "you don't even know why you're attracted to me."
"You're pretty." Gir cuddled up against Dib.
Dib tentatively placed a hand where Gir's shoulder would be, thinking, Am I actually falling for him? Nah, it's just rebound emotion. Wait, REBOUND? That's not right…
Gir looked up at his companion. "Dib, why do you hate me?"
"I don't hate you."
"Then you love me!" He grinned, squeezing Dib.
"No, I – I don't know." Dib pushed Gir aside and stood up. "Do you even know what love is?"
"I love you."
"Love is when you understand someone, and know them better than anyone else… it's an electrifying feeling whenever that special someone comes near… it's caring about someone… shoot, I dunno…" Dib tried to find better words to describe "love," but came up empty. "All I know is… I… I think… I love Zim." He clasped his hands over his mouth, but the deep dark secret had already escaped into the night. He glanced over at Gir, but the little robot had gone into some sort of sleep mode. Not wanting to disturb him, Dib grabbed a pillow and opted to sleep on the floor.
End of part six
I hope that wasn't too OOC or anything. I rewrote this chapter twice, and this was the best I could come up with. Well, there's still one chappie left to go…
