The next day, Dib woke up in his bed. The fight he had with Zim didn't last long and there weren't any injuries. He sighed and looked out his window, expecting Tir outside jumping up and down and such. Surprisingly, she wasn't out there. Dib was slightly confused but he ignored it and walked into his bathroom to get ready for school.
Dib walked home with Zim sneakily following him. Tir wasn't anywhere to be found. Dib thought that she was perhaps sick but he didn't care much. Zim jumped out infront of Dib, pointing his finger at him.
"Dib stink! Where is your LOVE PIG?"
Zim asked in a mocking tone. Dib rose an eyebrow and sighed, shaking his head. He didn't want to deal with Zim today so he walked by him
"Do not ignore the Zim! I SAY DO NOT IGNORE MEE!"
Zim commanded, waving his arms around like a lunatic. Dib turned around and blinked. The craziness of Zim amused him for some reason. Dib glared at Zim when Zim stopped flailing his arms.
"I don't know, ok? And why should you care?"
Dib asked and turned back around and started to walk to school. Zim tried to say something but stopped. Why DID he care? He didn't! He was Irken and- Zim was standing there, thinking as Dib walked away. Zim glared then cackled, now walking behind Dib.
"Did you LOSE your love pig, Dib human? Were you not GOOD enough for her? HAH!"
Zim asked and snickered evily. Dib twitched and stopped, looking at the ground. He mumbled something like 'I'm not good enough for anyone…' but it must have been Zim's imagination because Dib turned around, glaring. He pointed at Zim and gave a fake 'all knowing' smile.
"I don't know and I don't care! Plus, why do you care so much, ZIM?"
Dib asked back, practically mocking him. Zim took a step back and made up some excuse like, 'Because you're even a more pitiful then I thought!' or something like that. Even though that hurt Dib, he fought back. They fought the whole way to school.
The location of Tir changed often. She kept hiding behind trees and buildings and mail boxes and such. She was spying on Dib and Zim and she liked what she saw. It made her giggle and her stomach flutter.
At school, the kids rushed over to Zim and pushing Dib away. Zim cackled as everyone cackled with him and giggled, hugging his arms. Dib glared at those kids, and so was Tir. Instead of ignoring the kids and moving on with life like Dib was doing, Tir got out a space gun and shot it at some kids foot. Tir then commanded,
"BE GONE WITH YOU, PITIFUL EARTH HUMANS! BE GONEEEE!"
Tir hid the gun and started to flail her arms in the air as the kids ran away from Zim. Zim looked around, sad that his group was gone. He glared at Tir and walked over to her, starting to argue with her. Tir argued back but then thought of an idea. Tir pushed Zim, knowing that he would push her back. And indeed he did! Tir pushed him again and snickered. Before Zim had a chance to push her back, Tir had grabbed Dib and put him in front of her, like a shield. Dib blinked, completely confused until he looked ahead and seeing Zim's face in front of his. Dib and Zim stood there for a moment, both of them blushing. Tir squealed happily and let go of Dib, running off happily.
Dib blushed as his eyes widened and darted everywhere. The other kids didn't notice them. Haha, why would they? They're stupid children who go to school to learn about DOOM. Before Dib could push Zim away, Zim pushed him! Dib slammed against the wall, rubbing his head. Zim was glaring and pointing at Dib.
"Do not TOUCH ME, PITIFUL DIB HUMAN! Your.. HUMAN GERMS might get on my PRECIOUS SKIN! MY PRECIOUS HUMAN SKIN!"
Zim yelled, trying to hide a small blush, in which he did well. Dib mumbled then got up, still rubbing his head. Tir giggled madly as she hid behind a tree. Some other girl watched her giggle at Dib and Zim and was about to ask what she was doing but Tir got out a gun and SHOT HER. BOOM. Tir cackled evily then stopped, staring at Zim and Dib again.
"I found my new interest…"
Tir mumbled as the bell rang. Zim pushed Dib, making him fall down again, and ran into the school. Dib yelled and ran into the school as well. Tir happily skipped behind, a large smile on her face.
Throughout the whole school day, Tir was trying to make Zim and Dib always be together. During lunch, Tir made Zim sit by Dib by throwing Zim over to another table. And Zim, being the stupid… thing he is, didn't notice that he was thrown until he noticed a human sitting beside him. They started to fight again but they were still sitting by each other, which satisfied Tir.
After school, Zim and Dib walked home together, but they were fighting. Tir twitched at the fighting and sighed. Luckily, a loud BOOM exploded in the sky as it started to rain. Zim screamed and ran around, hiding under things but nothing was useful. Tir was happily using an umbrella stolen from that little girl. Zim started to scream as he stood in the rain and burned. Dib laughed and laughed at him. Then, Dib frowned and sighed, throwing his jacket at Zim and looking away.
"Give it back to me after your done, alien."
Dib mumbled as Zim put it over his head. Tir giggled but sighed slightly. Oh how she loved her new interest. Dib and Zim started to walk to Zim's house, with Tir following them. None of them said anything and Zim and Dib kept looking away from eachother. They finally got to Zim's house and Zim threw the jacket at Dib, Dib catching it and putting it bad on. Dib twitched as he started to walk away but was stopped because of Tir. Tir had a crazy smile on her face as she screamed,
"PEEKABOO!"
Tir then pushed Dib into Zim's house and snickered, holding the door shut. Sure, the door was made from alien technology but EVEN IRKEN TECHNOLOGY COULDN'T FACE THE DOOR STOPPER. Dib had NO idea what was going on, and neither did Zim. Dib's eyes widened as he saw that he was in Zim's lab. Dib turned around in circles, admiring all the technology in the living room. He also found the monkey quite… odd, so it must be an alien thing!
"Oh, wow!"
Dib said in his usual 'amazed-Dib-tone' and tried to get out a camera but forgot that he didn't have one. He sighed then gasped with Zim as he heard a click from the door. It was locked.
"She locked us IN! THAT HORRIBLE LITTLE-"
Zim yelled but got interrupted with Dib, who was banging on the door. Tir chuckled a bit as Dib yelled to let him out. No luck. Dib sighed and turned around, looking at Zim then at the robot. Gir turned his head and stared at Dib's large head. A scream coming from the little robot but then it's attention turned back to the TV. Zim pointed at Dib, which caught Dib's attention.
"Computer! Get him!"
Zim commanded as his computer let out a groan. Zim looked up and blinked, repeating his command. The computer groaned again.
"Do I have to?"
The computer asked as Dib snorted. Zim's OWN computer wasn't listening and instead was listening to…
"No, not really! Go make them a cheese sandwich, computer! Plus, make sure NO ONE can go downstairs!"
Tir yelled from outside. Zim shrieked and waved his hands wildly around as he tried to run to his toilet to go to his labs but sadly, it was blocked off. And so was everything else. Dib laughed at Zim, but then started to shiver, which made Gir scream again.
"The big headed boy is COLDDD!"
Gir exclaimed, his small tongue sticking out. Dib rose an eyebrow at the robot and sighed, sitting down. His wet jacket made him cold. COLD I SAY. Zim blinked and looked at Dib, snickering.
"Let him be, Gir! He shall stay cold and SUFFER UNDER THE ROOF OF ZIM!"
Zim cackled and walked over to the couch, sitting down. Zim and Gir started to watch The Scary Monkey show. Dib looked at the TV and started to watch as well until Zim looked at him and glared.
"Stop watching my Television, Dib-Human!"
Zim commanded as Dib looked away, making a grunting noise. JUST THEN, three plates with cheese sandwiches were sent infront of Zim, Gir, and Dib by the computer. Dib didn't really notice his until Gir started to eat the sandwich. Zim screamed and jumped up, backing away from the cheese. Zim pointed to the sandwich, glaring.
"The cheese… THE CHEESE."
Zim hissed as Dib rose an eyebrow at him. Dib then noticed his sandwich and grabbed it, taking a bite out of it. Gir then got up, grabbing Zim's sandwich and eating it. After eating the sandwiches, they all sat/stood there in silence. Atleast until Gir started to scream and run towards Dib. Dib looked ahead and yelled as Gir tackled his abnormally large head. Gir hugged it and snuggled against it as Zim cackled.
"Did you like my WAFFLES!"
Gir asked, one of his eyes widening/popping out. Dib blinked and nodded slightly, making Gir squeal.
"They were made of SOUP AND DOG FOOOD!"
Gir screeched and ran off, leaving Zim and Dib alone. Dib made a gagging sound and stuck his tongue out in disgust. Zim laughed and laughed for some reason. After a few minutes, Dib stopped gagging but sat there shivering instead. Zim's house was quite cold because of the metal pipes and such. Zim stopped cackling and sat there with his arms crossed against his chest.
"Suffer, Dib human, because you aren't getting a warm cloth anytime soon!"
Zim explained and laughed and LAUGHED. HE JUST KEEPS ON LAUGHING! Dib scooted away, hugging himself now. He rested his hands on his knees as he closed his eyes. He didn't feel like fighting with Zim that night. He was too tired and cold and his stomach hurt.
A lot.
Dib's eyes shot open as he stood up and banged on the door once more. Tir giggled as she held it back. Dib sighed and sat down once more.
"I have a FAMILY, ok? I need to get back to them!"
Dib said, hoping that Tir didn't know that his dad was always gone and his sister hated him. Tir snickered and poked her head out so that Dib and Zim could see her. She stuck out her tongue and continued to block the door. Zim looked away from Dib and scowled.
Was Zim THAT bad to be around? He was at least better than Gaz! Wasn't he? But… Did Dib want to leave that badly?
Thinking of this, Zim fell over, yawning. His antennas twitched as he heard Dib get up and start to walk around. Zim glared, sitting up.
"Get back to your place, human stink beast! NOW! DO NOT INVULK THE WRATH OF ZIM!"
Zim yelled, pointing to where Dib was sitting before. Dib laughed and rolled his eyes, starting to walk around once more. Zim growled and got off the couch, grabbing Dib and throwing him over to where Dib was before. Dib mumbled and rubbed his head, but got up once more. Zim growled and pushed him down, but Dib just got up again.
"Leave me be, alien! I can go anywhere I want! I AM DIB!"
Dib said in a 'Zim-like' way. He was making fun of Zim, which made Zim's antennas go flat against his head in anger. If Dib could SEE his antennas anyway. This then reminded Zim that he was still in his HORRIBLE costume. Zim twitched and scratched his eyes a bit. If he wore his contacts for too long then they get itchy.
TOO ITCHY FOR HIS OWN GOOD.
Dib stopped and watched Zim itch and itch at his contacts. Dib sighed and sat down on the couch, which was surprisingly comfy.
"You can take off your disguise, space boy! I already know what you look like!"
Dib mumbled then blushed.
Take off disguise…
IMAGES RETURNED to Dib's mind, making him blush even more. Dib held his head and tried to get the images out of his head but no use! They were stuck like glue. GLUE TO A MOOSE.. And such.
Zim glared at Dib and made a Zim-like comment before running into the kitchen and taking off his contacts and hair piece. Zim finally came out, his antennas twitching with curiosity to what Dib was doing. Dib was banging his large head against the couch to get the images out of his head. THEY WERE STILL THERE. Dib then looked at Zim and glared. Dib then shook his head and sighed, finally getting the images out of his head.
Zim sat down on the couch as Dib looked at him. Even though he despised the alien to no end…
Or did he?
Anyway, he noticed that Zim was quite… Pretty? Possibly beautiful. Their large ruby eyes and long beautiful antennas… Dib stared at Zim, his mouth slightly open. Zim looked over at Dib and glared, raising an 'eyebrow.'
"What is it, Dib human?"
Zim demanded, one ruby eye lowering while the other one is still up. Dib noticed that the light ruby spots on his eyes shrank or expanded. Dib blinked and scooted away from Zim, looking at the turned off television. Zim's antennas twitched with curiosity once more then he looked away, sighing. Gir ran past them, screaming with minimoose in his hands.
After many… seconds, minutes, hours … no one knew, but, after so much time of screaming, the little robot calmed down and fell asleep. Zim was also tired and so was Dib, but Dib has stayed up for days once before. Dib didn't want to go to sleep because he was afraid he might get killed by Zim in his sleep. Before Zim could even think of getting killed by Dib, he was asleep and falling over so that his head was on Dib's lap.
Dib blushed and looked around, realizing that no one was watching. He closed his eyes as questions popped into his head.
Why am I blushing? I'm not supposed to be blushing! I'm supposed to be pushing his head off of my lap and stepping on his head! Yeah, yeah! Then send his body to mysterious mysteries! Yeah! And then-
Dib frowned and sighed, not even thinking of what would happen if he sent Zim to Mysterious Mysteries. Dib looked down at Zim, slightly smiling. Dib's interest was on Zim's antennas. Dib smiled as his eyes filled with curiosity. Dib poked Zim's antenna, making it twitch. Dib then started to pet Zim's antennas, making them go flat against his head. Dib noticed that the antennas were quite soft. Zim curled up in a small ball as he was pet, snuggling closer and closer to Dib with every pet.
Zim's head was now in Dib's stomach and Dib was slightly blushing, but he continued to pet Zim. Was this relaxing Zim? It sure made Dib tired and relaxed from petting Zim. Once Dib stopped, Zim's antennas stuck up then rested back down. Dib smiled and rested his head back, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
