Chapter 12
(At Dib's Skool)
Dib was running back from his gym class, all beat up and tired after a not so nice game of dodge-ball.
"I'm late! (huff-huff)...I promised (huff)...M-ms. Sweeters that I would (huff-huff) take Zen for lunch...CAKE!"
Dib finally arrived at Sweeters' door. "She's probably pissed...Owww, my head still hurts!"
Crying, Dib opened the door. "ZEN, I'M HERE!"
Ms. Sweeters was at her desk eating her lunch and bouncing Zen back and forth on here pig tail buns, as if they were mini-trampolines.
Dib stared. "...Heh-heh..."
He sat down tiredly on the floor.
"Oh, hi, Dibby-dib!" Ms. Sweeters said while she ate her ice-cream. "Want some dibs?" (Dibs are a type of ice-cream that comes in little tiny balls. I think another name for them is 'Dip-n-Dots' or something.)
"Eh...that's ok," Dib said as he watched his baby bounce. "I came to get Zen for lunch..."
Ms. Sweeters crunched on her granola bar. "Hmm...You look like crap, Dib. Why don't you just eat lunch with me?"
Dib blushed at the kind invitation. "No-no, I couldn't...and need to get some formula for Zen."
Ms. Sweeters pulled a bottle out of her desk and handed it to him. "Here!"
Dib took it. "Okay, then..."

Dib stood waiting at the mini skoolbus stop that he would take to get to his next class.
When it finally came, he was about to board it, when he was suddenly shoved aside.
"ATTA THE WAY, POPS!" the boy said, as he closed the bus' doors and left Dib to watch its passengers laugh at him as they drove off. "HAHAHAHAHA!"
"...NOOOOO!" Dib jumped up and ran after it. "WAIT!"
But it was no use. The bus was gone.
Meanwhile, the kids on the bus were going "Wee wee wee! Wee wee wee! Wee wee-HEY, LOOK AT THAT GUY RUN!"
Dib was still in pretty good shape despite having given birth so recently. Probably had something to do with all those years of chasing aliens and werewolves and dodging bullies. You especially had to be fast to dodge a bully with a dodgeball!
The rush of Dib's passing turned the bus onto its side, its little wheels going round and round! Round and round! Round and round! in the air.
10 minutes later, Dib had arrived at his next class.
"(Huff-huff-huff-huff)... NEW RECORD!" Dib shouted, pumping his fists triumphantly in the air. "I BEAT THE BUSES! (Huff-huff-huff)...HAHAHAHAHA...WHA?"
(Sign on door) 'Class is being held in the cafeteria today.'
Dib fell down and cried. "DAAAAAMIIIIIT!"
(Page break)
At last the horribly long school day was over. Dib dragged his feet to Ms Sweeters' class to get Zen.
"...Why?" Dib sobbed. "Why is my life so messed up? I get picked on my whole life, no one believed me about Zim, then that BASTARD goes and gets me pregnant...NOW MY LIFE IS HORRIBLE!"
Dib fell to the floor of the hallway in tears. "The only thing good that came out of this whole mess was Zen...(sniff)...I love Zen to death, but... I wish he could've been born a little later...It's hard taking care of him while I'm at this age and going to school...I just want my baby to be happy...and I..."
Dib blushed. "I... kinda wish Zim was here...at least then he could help a little..."
Closing his eyes and resting against the wall for a while, Dib went on to daydream about the good memories he'd had with Zim.
(Flashback)
"I'm glad that we ended up together!" Zim said out of the blue, while he and Dib were watching TV.
Dib smiled. "Hehe, so am I...Zim?" he asked shyly. "Do you think that...you'll be with me forever?"
Zim laughed. "HAHAHAHAHA! You don't even need to ask!"
Further conversation was put on hold as Dibs' doubts were pulled into Zim's sweet kiss.
(End flashback)
Although Dib hadn't been aware that he'd been smiling this whole time, he suddenly remembered Zim's big mistake, and quickly frowned.
He opened his eyes and stood up. "NO! That jerk will not have anything to do with MY baby. I WILL BE STRONG AND TAKE CARE OF ZEN BY MYSELF!"
Ms. Sweeters, who'd exited her class to see what all the yelling was about, turned to a confused looking Zen and smiled at him. "It's okay. I know how the story ends."
Then she waved at Dib. "Hello, Dib!"
Dib stood in a dramatic pose. "HELLO, MS. SWEETERS! I'M HERE FOR MY BABY!"
Ms. Sweeters nodded. "I know...Hey, you look tired. Wanna ride home?"
Dib's heroic pose dissolved into a puddle of gratitude. "...(sniffle) Thank you, Ms. Sweeters..."
