Day 3:
I groaned and held my head as I woke up. I had one of those headaches you get when you cry; it was more like a migraine, though. I looked down and gasped. Dib stayed there all night? I decided to let Dib sleep in. He probably needed it. I got an idea. I had tried Dib's human food, so why shouldn't he try mine? I decided to prepare Dib an Irken breakfast. It was a feast fit for a Tallest. Well, not really, seeing as it had to be vegetarian meal out of chemicals in Prof. Membrane's lab. I didn't want to wake him up, but I wanted to see his face when he saw it. When I got to our bedroom, he wasn't there "He's probably working himself to death in the lab." I sighed. I trudged down to the lab. "Dib, I made you breakfast." I said in a singsong voice. He grunted. "It's an Irken breakfast." I said flatly. "I'm busy." Dib said. I glared at him, the kind of glare where you can feel it burning into your skin, drilling into the back of your head. "Alright, I'll go eat some." Dib said as he walked up the stairs, throwing his hands up in defeat. "I'm not sure I could eat all this." He said. "Just eat one bite of everything." I said. "I'm not sure if I even have enough time." He said, looking at his watch. "You never cared about being late before. Honestly, you'd think you would have been waiting your whole life for this. I have to go check on the smeets." I said. I put on my disguise. "Good-bye, little Dib. Good-bye, Zaz." I said, kissing them on the top of their heads and tickling them. I walked past the kitchen. Dib was still just staring at the food. I sighed and grabbed his coat, leading him out of the door. "If Human food hurts Irkens, why shouldn't Irken food hurt Humans?" He whined as we neared "Skool".

"I see a cow." Gir said happily. "Gir, we're a gazillion miles from the only planet with cows on it. You wouldn't see a cow out here." I said (A/N: Gaz-illion is a coincidence. That's my usual "illion" word.). Gir just smiled at me. Zim fell asleep a while ago sometime when he was muttering about not bringing his PAK recharger. I was bored out of my mind (A/N: Ignore the fact that Zim sleeps pwease. Do it for me?) "Tracker, can I see a video of what's happened on planet earth since liftoff." I asked. "You know, of Zaz, Tak, and the Dibs." I said. "Yes, 'mam." he tracker said. "Don't call me 'mam, it makes me feel old. Start showing the video." I ordered. So, I saw everything that happened on earth.
BBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
"Let me see the smeets." I commanded Dib. "I think you've stared at the smeets too much lately. We'll just check up on them...See, they're fine." Dib said. He started eating the blubbery macaroni. "I'm bored." I complained. Dib ignored me until about the sixth time, then he interrupted me. "I'm bor-"I started. "You've been worrying about the smeets too much. You should take a break. You know, get out of the house." He suggested. I figured he wanted to throw out the Irken food chemicals. "I barely touched the smeets yesterday." I said. "You shouldn't have to." he said. "I want to." I said, but I was drowned out by the bell. It was decided.
BBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Zim woke up before I could finish it. I started it over and showed it to him. When Tak confessed her love, Gir dropped his popcorn and started crying. "Wow." Zim and I said in unison. When the screen blackened at the end, Gir wailed and said "It's so beautiful...look at it." he said, pointing to the dark screen. He tried to wipe his mechanical eyes on my clothes. "Gir, get off of me!" I yelled, pushing him away. He ran to Zim. "Gir..." Zim said warningly. Gir ran back to his seat and blew his "nose" in the smeet's blankets before I could stop him. "I wonder how she fell in love with you, anyway." I said. "But...but...I AM ZIM!" he shouted. I smiled. This wasn't so bad after all.

Dib still insisted on taking care of the smeets, so I decided to face my fears, and go to where Zim's house was. No matter how much I knew about Zim, he still surprised me. He forgot to self-destruct his house. My lip trembled as I opened the door with a Cccrrreeeaaakkk... I looked at the pictures some where of Gir's finger, some of Gir with the camera backwards, surprising himself with the flash. A couple pictures were of Gaz kicking Zim and such. "He deserves better." I whispered to the picture. I smiled slightly at the misplaced furniture. My eyes widened when I saw what was in a drawer in the kitchen. He kept Mimi's memory disc! I clutched it to my chest and decided I was done exploring the remains of Zim's house.
"I hope he can hear the phone from the basement." I said, dialing the number. Dib answered on the first ring. "Dib, how long should I stay out here." I said. "How long should you stay? It's not timed. I just thought you should take a break. Come home whenever you want." he said. "Can I come home now?" I asked, assuming he had finished throwing out the chemicals "Sure, why not." He said, reminding me of the song I played the night before last. "Okay, then. See you soon." I said. "Bye." I said and hung up. "I really need to ask him to give me a key." I said, opening the door. "Oh...my...gosh." I said as the lights where off and turned on as soon as the door opened. Dib was tapping his foot and had his back to me in front of a homemade stage. He was holding an electric guitar. This was way to well planned to be a coincidence.
So 1, 2, 3, take my hand and come with me

He smiled sheepishly. "What is it?" I asked, running my hand along the cool sleek metal. "You put these wrist clamps and ankle clamps on, and you can play the guitar and dance." Dib explained. "I call it the BoogieBot00095. Want to try it?" he asked (A/N: My sis wrote the name.). "How do I choose the song?" I asked, answering his question with my own. "Sure, you press these buttons. I loaded all your songs on it." Dib answered, showing me. I pressed a few buttons and ran to the middle of the stage.
So I'm a little left of center
I'm a little out of tune
Some say I'm paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
In a crazy, mixed-up world
I don't care what they're sayin'
As long as I'm your girl
Hey, you are on my side
And they, they just roll their eyes
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you get me
So what if I see the sunshine
in the pouring rain
Some people think I'm crazy
But you say it's okay
You've seen my secret garden
Where all of my flowers grow
In my imagination
Anything goes
I, I am all you want
They, they just read me wrong
You get me
When nobody understands
You come and hold my hand, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
Still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
'Cause you get me
Hey, you are on my side
They, they just roll their eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
When none of the pieces fit
You make sense of it
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still I want you all the time
Yeah, I do
'Cause you get me
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh
It went on to the next song. Dib looked surprised. "Was it supposed to do that?" I asked myself.
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
It came out shaky. I ran to our bedroom, crying. Dib followed me. I hugged him close to me. "You don't deserve me." I said. "You deserve someone who fully appreciates you." I continued. "I don't deserve you. I don't deserve anyone who can love more than four people with their whole heart." He said, meaning the smeets, him, and Zim. "I can't go on like this. I always take one step forward and two steps back." I said. "I've just got to forget Zim. He doesn't even remember me, I bet." she said, determinedly. "Dib, go to bed. I don't want to keep you here all night." I crawled into bed. Dib gave me one last glance before he climbed the ladder to the upper portion of the bunk bed.

O.O I thought it was "Jet black stare". Oh well! I finished my fourth chapter. Wow. That amazes me. Bonus Chapter! Woo! The next chapter is slightly different than the others. It was suggested by P.G.S. herself (Thanks for being my editor, sis). Oh, before I go, read her fics and review. PPPLLLEEEZZZ! For this one, right before I wrote it, it freaked out and added the word par, slashes, and the word line every five seconds.
