Beta: Notgonnadie

Wanting desperately to strangle Dib right then, Tak flexed her claws. "Y-You! GAH! YOU KNOW WHAT? FINE! DON'T GO BACK TO HIM! AND WHEN YOU AND YOUR SMEETS DIE, YOU CAN REST ASSURED IT WAS YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!" she turned to storm back to her base.

Narrowing his eyes on her even more, Dib could only scream at her one last time. "AT THIS POINT, I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT DEATH! ANYTHING WOULD BE BETTER THAN HAVING TO PUT UP WITH ALL THIS SHIT!" he screamed before finally turning to storm away from her himself, just wanting to get away from everything and everyone.

Growling, Tak turned to glare daggers at his backside. "FINE!" she screamed as loudly as she could so he'd know she didn't care before turning on her heel again to continue on inside and slam the door shut behind her.

Needing somewhere, ANYWHERE, that he could take a breather and straighten out all the thoughts in his head, Dib took to sprinting down the street in search of somewhere quiet. Unfortunately for him, being Sunday, the school wasn't open for him to stay at, and he had been kicked out of every place he could think of to go. So heading in the direction of the park to maybe find a bench to sit at for a while, he attempted to calm himself back down enough to figure out some plan of what he would be doing when he needed somewhere to sleep at night.

Meanwhile, back at her base, Tak paced about the living room, wringing her antennae.

Having just woken up thanks to all the yelling, Gaz pulled herself from bed and made her way into the living room where Tak was. "What happened?" she asked, as though she hadn't heard every word that had passed between the two.

"Your stupid brother ran for the hills!" Tak exploded, throwing her arms up into the air frustratedly.

Sighing, Gaz could only curse under her breath at that. "Dammit, Dib..." she looked back up at Tak. "I'll go find and have a talk with him after breakfast. Just give him some time to cool off." she said, coming up to Tak so she could place her hands on the Irken's shoulders.

Letting her antennae go, Tak nodded before following Gaz to the kitchen to eat.

Meanwhile, back at Zim's base, Gir crawled on up onto the couch to where Zim had just been lying lifelessly for the past several hours. "Mastah?" he shook him a bit, somewhat worried that Zim looked as bad as he had a couple months ago when he had come home from the taco fest.

Sighing heavily at the shake, Zim didn't move as he went to respond. "What, Gir?" he asked, his voice calm if not tired.

His little antenna drooping, Gir stopped shaking Zim. "You look sad, Mastah. Why you so sad again?" the little android asked, looking genuinely worried about Zim. "Do you need a hug?" he then asked, holding out his stubby little arms as though to hug Zim.

Glancing at Gir, Zim then nodded. "Yes..." he held out his own arms to the android.

Smiling at that, Gir wrapped his arms around Zim the best he could and gave him a tight squeeze, just wanting to make Zim feel better. "Mastah hungry?" he asked, still not pulling away.

Hugging back just as tightly, Zim merely shook his head. "I don't want to eat, Gir..." he said, feeling too emotionally drained at the moment to eat anything.

"Then Mastah going to nap again?" Gir asked, snuggling up to Zim comfortably.

Sighing at the question, Zim nodded. "Yeah...I guess I will..." he said, closing his eyes.

"Okie dokie..." Gir responded, his usual energy not there as he curled up next to Zim, nuzzling him affectionately.

Back at the park, Dib stood over a sink in a public restroom, panting after having finally lost the battle with his stomach and thrown up in the toilet there. "Ugh..." he groaned, closing his eyes and waiting a moment for the nausea to pass completely before scooping some water into his mouth.

Catching sight of Dib, that's when a random man standing a few sinks down washing his own hands raised an eyebrow at the panting boy. "Are you okay?" he asked, thinking that for some reason something just seemed off about this kid.

Jolting a bit, Dib jumped back at the man's question. "Wh-What? Oh! Y-Yeah...I will be..." his antennae drooped as his face paled somewhat.

"Are you sure? You look awfully pale. Are your parents around here somewhere?" the man asked, slightly concerned by how sickly the boy looked in that moment.

"Ummm...No...I'm not living with my parents any longer...My mom died a long time ago, and I'm not even speaking to my dad...But I'll be fine." Dib sent the man a weak smile. "It's just a bit of nausea. It should pass in a little while." he reassured the other, not wanting to get into the details of his current situation.

A little thrown off guard by that answer, the man could only shake his head "You poor kid. It's a shame you can't rely on your parents anymore. Here." he offered his hand to Dib. "Do you have anywhere you need to go? I could help you out." he just didn't feel right about leaving this kid here all alone.

Staring at the hand being offered him, Dib shifted his gaze down to the ground and began playing with his fingers nervously. "I...I don't...have anywhere to go anymore really..." he admitted, not meeting the man's gaze.

Eyes growing wide, the man could only drop his hand away at those words. "Seriously? Ah, kid...What happened? Why are you all alone?" he asked, this kid seeming far too young to be on his own.

Staring down at his feet still, Dib shifted about in his spot a bit uneasily at the question. "I-I seem to be getting in fights with everybody around me lately...A-And I guess I just chose not to stay with them." he sighed, knowing that a lot of it was his own fault.

Shaking his head again, the man sent Dib a sad look at that response. "I'm sorry, kid...Is there anything I can do?" he asked, unable to stand seeing somebody so unfortunate.

Shaking his head in response, Dib pulled away somewhat. "N-No...I-I'll be fine on my own..." he didn't want to cause anymore trouble.

Taking his own step away, sensing Dib's uncomfortableness, the man nodded before shaking his head and sighing. "Are you hungry?" he then asked, trying to come up with anything he could do for the other before leaving.

"I-I..." Dib hesitated to answer before looking back down at the ground. "N-No...I-I don't think I'd be able to keep anything down at the moment...I-I've been kind of sick lately, so..." he began to say.

"Then a trip to the doctor?" the man suggested, really feeling like he needed to help this kid.

Eyes snapping wide open at the suggestion, Dib quickly looked back up at the man so he could shake his head, a somewhat scared look on his face now. "No! I mean...It's just some indigestion...It will pass in a few hours or so..." he said, a little afraid a doctor would notice the non-human parts of his anatomy and feel the need to make him into a specimen to study closer.

A bit surprised by Dib's answer, the man then smiled at him. "If you're afraid of the doctor, you just had to say so. Personally, I've never liked going there either. It makes me uneasy because I don't know what they're doing, and it always costs a bundle." he laughed, understanding why Dib might be nervous about something like that.

"Yeah...I don't think they'd be able to help anyways...It's not really something that can just be cured...But I'm sure it will go away on its own eventually. I-" Dib suddenly cut himself short, another wave of nausea hitting him at that moment, causing him to dart into one of the public restroom's stalls to empty his stomach.

Watching him worried now, the man could only flinch slightly at Dib's current state. "Okay, kid. I promise I won't take you to the doctor, but I can't just leave you here to throw your guts up." he said, knowing he'd never be able to bring himself to just leave him there now that he knew the other had nowhere else to go.

Flushing the toilet once he had finally recovered enough, Dib, after a moment or two, made his way out of the stall, holding a hand to his mouth as he headed for the sink again to wash his mouth out. "I really don't want to be a bother...I'm fine now...Really..." he lied, face paler than it had been before.

"Oh, it's no bother at all." the man smiled genuinely at him. "What's your name, kid?" he then asked, figuring he may as well get to know him now that he had decided to help him.

Seeming a bit hesitant at first to answer that, Dib shifted about in his spot again before finally speaking up in a quiet voice. "D-Dib...Dib Membrane..." he said, almost cautiously.

The man smiled at that answer. "Nice to meet you, Dib. I'm Jack Williams." he offered his hand to the hybrid to shake.

Blushing a bit, Dib however could only stare down at the ground beneath him, unable to lift his gaze to meet Jack's. "N-Nice to meet you too..." he said in a somewhat shy voice, not used to anybody being so nice to him, especially a stranger.

Smiling even when Dib refused the take his hand, Jack rather reached forward to take Dib by the wrist so he could lead Dib out of the restroom. "Come on, Dib. You can stay with me until you feel better." he said in all seriousness, throwing Dib slightly off guard.

Knowing that it would probably be a while before the morning sickness subsided and other symptoms began to take its place, Dib could only sigh at those words. "Th-Thank you...B-But I really don't want to be all that much of a bother...S-So I'll only stay until my nausea passes..." he said, knowing he couldn't stay long if he wanted to keep his pregnancy a secret.

A/N: And there you have it. Yet another update of ZADR Orange. =3 And look! A new character! 8D For the record, Jack is going to become a very important character in this story.
