Zim sat on the couch, fiddling with his thumbs as the pitter patter of the rain made him worry. What if drops came through the roof? Zim was never upstairs when it rained and it made him nervous. Dib sat in front of the TV, watching The Scary Monkey Show. It was quite stupid, but entertaining for the time being. Dib put his hand under his head to support it up. Zim sighed and slumped into the couch, yawning. He noticed that the days were longer when there was nothing to do. Dib, on the other hand, never noticed this either because his days were always eventful, with alien hunting and such.

Zim's antenna twitched as the rain pounded down on the roof. It was getting bad out there, but Tir was well protected. Sandwich had gone out there and created a dome around Tir and itself. Dib yawned and looked at Zim, whose antenna flicked up and down. Dib looked at the TV again, the thoughts of petting Zim's antennas again rushing through his mind. He blushed a little with a dazed smile as he stared off in space.

Zim noticed this and sat up, staring at Dib. Dib was staring at the wall with his hands under his head. Zim stood up and looked at the wall to see nothing.

"Dib-creature, what are you looking at?"

Zim asked, walked over to Dib and sitting down next to him, staring at the wall too. Zim blinked and looked at Dib to see his face slightly red and he had a weird smile. Zim hit him on his gigantic head to get his attention.

"DIB-CREATURE!"

Zim yelled, trying to get his attention. Dib fell over from the hit and his ears went deaf after he heard Zim yell in his ear. Dib sat up, glaring at the Irken boy.

"What?"

Dib asked in an annoyed tone as Zim looked at the wall again then at Dib.

"What were you looking at!"

Zim demanded to know. Dib blushed again and looked at the wall, pointing to a random bug on it.

"I was looking at that bug. THAT'S how bored I am!"

Dib explained, but it was CLEARLY a lie. Yet, Zim doesn't know when someone else is lying so he believed it. Zim rolled his eyes and commented about how the humans are small brained freaks and went back to the couch. He folded his arms and grumbled something. Dib looked at the TV again and stared at that monkey creature.

After 2 hours, it was dark and Gir was already in bed. Dib looked up at the clock and sighed.

"It's 11 o'clock."

Dib stated as Zim waved his hand in a 'So? Who cares.' Dib rolled his eyes and stared at the TV again. Another hour passed until Zim finally said something.

"WHEN are you going to bed, Human stink?"

Zim asked, raising an 'eyebrow.' Dib looked back at him with a curious stare.

"When are you? And why are you so interested in me going to bed?"

Dib asked as they stared at eachother in a glare-like stare. Then, Zim looked away and waved his hand at Dib.

"Never mind."

Zim plainly stated as he looked off to the side. Dib was about to say something but something scared him. The TV suddenly went off and so did all the rest of the lights. Right after the lights went out, a loud BOOM of thunder made the 'house' shake. Zim gasped and looked around, hopping up from the couch.

"But a simple rainstorm and lightning can't take out my backup electricity! IT'S IRKEN!"

Zim argued with the rain and started to complain about how his backup electricity must have been eaten by Gir. Dib rolled his eyes and stood up, stretching.

"Zim, just sit down and relax. Your electricity will be back on soon, I bet. Your amazing 'Irken' technology will work even after it's out."

Dib said rather calmly. The lack of sleep was getting to him. Zim stared at him and raised an 'eyebrow' at him but agreed and sat down on the couch again. It was pretty silent though out the house. Except for the ticking from the clock and the rain pounding on the roof and the soft BOOM sounds from the thunder, it was deathly quiet. Zim sat there, his arms crossed against his chest and Dib sat on the floor. Dib often looked at Zim, because Dib's vision in the dark was fairly well. Zim's was horrible, though. For eyes that big and shiny, he couldn't see in the dark at all. Dib got up and brushed himself off, and silently walked over to Zim.

Dib looked at him and smiled as he saw Zim looked around stupidly, wondering where Dib went. A flash of lightning made it so that Zim could see Dib for a second. Dib was moving towards him and Zim didn't move at all. Dib got on the couch and sat on his knees. Dib's knees were on both sides of Zim. Dib slowly crept up to Zim but Zim couldn't see him. Another flash of lightning flashed to show Dib's face right infront of Zim's. Because of the flash, Zim could see that Dib had another weird smile on his face.

Zim squeaked quietly as he felt Dib's face right up to his. Dib lightly kissed Zim on the lips, his eyes closed. Zim's eyes widened as he felt Dib's body press against his as their lips touched in a kissing like way. And so, they were kissing and hugging, but Zim didn't know it. ONLY DIB DID.

Which made it better!

Dib stopped kissing Zim, a sensation left on both Dib and Zim's lips. Dib rested his head next to Zim's on the couch. Dib's body lightly leaned against Zim's, making Zim not move out of weirdness. Dib closed his eyes as Zim breathed in small breaths. Zim had no idea what was going on. Was he under some attack from Dib? Was that touching with lips an indication of poison? Was that why his lips had this tingly feeling? Dib rested his head against Zim's and slightly smiled.

After 5 minutes of this, Dib lifted his head from the couch and stared at Zim, who was deeply confused. Dib smiled again and kissed the Irken on the cheek, then passed out beside him. Zim's hands started to shake, but he moved his arms to wrap his arms around Dib's back. He pulled him into a hug and sighed, falling asleep himself.

Sadly, Tir was missing the whole thing! She fell asleep, but luckily Sandwich recorded it…


OK. EVERYONE OR PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK TIR IS IRKEN. Oo Her later life will be explained when Zim and Dib find out she's Irken, OK? She'll explain her S.I.R unit and why she's all human like and stuff, ok? XD If you want to know now, SEND MEA NOTE KTHXBYE.
