As soon as skool let out, Dib dropped his dictionary definitions on Ms. Bitters' desk, ran as fast as he could to Zim's base, set his backpack next to the fence, and ran all the way down the extended path to the "Men's Room" door. He managed to dodge all the attacks from Zim's lawn gnomes with his ninja-like skills that he happened to pick up from a kung-fu movie. Sadly, the moment he knocked on the door, he fell fifteen feet down a trap door and into a large glass tube deep within the base.

"I KNEW you would come, filthy WORM BABY!" Zim exclaimed, walking up to the tube with his hands behind his back.

"Zim, we have to talk." Dib's voice sounded much squeakier from behind the glass.

"TALK? You wish to have a CONVERSATION with the mighty INVADER ZIM?"

"Yes!"

"Very well." With the push of a remote-control button, the glass disappeared and Dib was released. "You have FIVE MINUTES!"

"Somebody's writing romantic stories about you and me on the Internet," Dib stated matter-of-factly. "Is it you?"

"Are you accusing ME of wanting a romance with a smelly…DIB-WORM?" Zim cried. "Irken Invaders do not do this 'ROMANCE,' as you Earth-monkeys call it, and if we DID – "

"Well, do you know who did write them?"

Zim walked up to Dib, making a fist in the human's face. "It was YOU, wasn't it?"

"WHAT?" Dib backed away. "That's stupid! I don't even LIKE you, let alone love you!"

"Oh, come ON!" Zim stood perfectly straight with his hands outstretched on either side. "You're a pathetic stinkbeast with a horrible life. NOBODY likes you because you're BORING! But I, I am the ALMIGHTY ZIM! What stinkbeast WOULDN'T want to serve one of the SUPERIOR Irken race? Especially a HUMAN stinkbeast!"

"That's not what I'm talking about," Dib argued. "And I don't want to serve you! That's why I'm fighting against you!"

"LIAR!" Zim screeched. "Is 'ROMANCE' not dedication and devotion that you Earthstinks show to each other?"

"Well, I guess that's one way to put it…"

"Then it's SIMPLE! You have 'ROMANCE' and become a personal SLAVE to some other Earthstink!"

"You're missing the point, Zim. People want us to be together!"

Zim studied Dib carefully. "Well, as much as I'd like a private slave, you STINK and your HEAD is too big!"

"My head is NOT big!" Dib yelled, then added, "And I don't stink!"

"ENOUGH!" Zim pointed to the elevator. "Get OUT of my house!"

Dib left the underground base, but as he made his way across the top floor he was halted by Gir. "I believe you, Dib!"

"You do?" Dib looked skeptically at the little robot.

"Yup! I think you and my Master would be soooo happy together!" Gir collapsed on the floor, hugging himself.

"GAAH!" Dib burst through the "Men's Room" door. "You're all CRAZY!"
