Zim: Notgonnadie

Dib: Me

Enjoy. =3

No longer paying any mind to what Dib and Rose were saying, Zim hardly responded when he heard his name being brought up in their conversation. "Huh?" he acknowledged words had been spoken but didn't comprehend what they were.

Rose smiled at Dib amusedly. "I'm sure it will work like a charm." she said, sending Dib a small wink.

Beginning to purr, Zim leaned on Dib as he continued shaking the rattle.

"Well, anyways, I was just looking over these signup sheets for those classes you wanted to sign up for. Did you want me to go ahead and sign you up already?"

"Shika! Shika! Shika!" Zim interrupted her before rattling on.

"Hmm? What was that?" Dib blinked at Zim confusedly.

"Huh?"

"What was that you just said? Was it Irken?"

"Huh?" Zim shook his head. "Uhh…No?" he then kept shaking the rattle and laughed, making the sound again.

Dib smiled, leaning in to kiss him lightly on the lips. "Oh, really? Then what was it?" he asked, smirking at the Irken playfully.

Zim blushed at the kiss. "Nothing." he said with a small whine, just wanting to be left alone to his own devices at this point.

"Mmm...I don't believe you..." Dib said, placing another small peck on the Irken's lips. "But I'll let it slide if you buy me ice-cream later." he then smiled wide at the other as he nuzzled him affectionately.

Zim pouted but agreed. "Fiiine. Shika! Shika! Shika!" he shook the rattle again.

Dib smiled smugly before turning back to Rose. "Yeah, that would be great if you could do that for us. When exactly would we be required to actually start attending them though?" he asked, wanting to know ahead of time so they could be prepared for it.

"Well, probably around the sixth or seventh month. I'm not positive though. We've never actually made it this far ourselves."

"Alright then...Go ahead and sign us up. We'll look it up later."

Rose smiled. "Okay then. Are you two going to go home now?" she asked, knowing they wanted to get out of there already so they could relax at home after having been away for so long.

Still not paying attention, Zim merely purred loudly.

Dib glanced down at Zim before looking back at her. "Yeah, we were planning on it just as soon as we got Zim's leader." he said, looking back towards the game store.

"Oh, well Purple was still in the game shop with Jack and the girls when I left. He was...playing a game...with your sister's gir-" Rose stopped herself before she could say 'girlfriend', not wanting to upset Dib again. "Uhm...With Tak..." she then corrected herself quickly but quietly.

"O-Oh...Well, I..." Dib sighed. "We can't just leave him here...I'll go ahead and say goodbye to my sister and then we'll grab him and leave." he then said, not wanting to stay long so long as Tak was still there.

"Wait, why can't you leave him here? We can bring him home."

"N-No...I'd really rather you didn't...Y-You've already done so much for us...We couldn't possibly ask you to do that...It's really no trouble at all." Dib smiled weakly at Rose. "B-Besides...I-It will only take a moment to grab him..." he then said, grabbing Zim by the arm to head for the game shop.

"Nonsense, Dib. You two go ahead. Purple's having a great time with the kids, and I know you two would like some time alone."

Dib blushed at her last few words, glancing back at Zim and knowing she was right for what they had been planning on doing after they got home. "Weeell...I guess it couldn't hurt too much...I...Alright...We'll...keep the door unlocked for him for when he does come home." he nodded his head in agreement. "Thank you...For everything, I mean..." he then thanked her, really appreciating everything she'd done for them that weekend.

"Don't worry about it, Dib." Rose smiled and pulled him into a hug. "You two be careful, okay?" she then wished them a safe ride home.

Dib nodded his head. "Okay..." he turned back to Zim. "Are you ready to go, Zim?" he then asked, tilting his head to one side as the Irken continued to play with the rattle.

"Mmm hmm..."

"Umm...If he's taking you home, you might want to get that thing away from him so you won't crash..."

"Oh, I'll get it away from him easily." Dib said before snatching it out of Zim's hands and bopping him on the head with it lightly.

Whining loudly, Zim grabbed the top of his head.

Dib smiled happily to himself. "That's better." he said before taking Zim by the arm and dragging him towards the exit. "Talk to you later, Rose!" he then called back over his shoulder at her, waving to her as they left.

"So, are we going home now?" Zim asked, the rattle now out of sight and out of mind.

"Well, that was sort of the plan, wasn't it? So we could...Uhm...Y-You know...F-Finish what we had started back in the...Uhm...The store back there..." Dib stuttered out as he pulled the other along, his cheeks flushing a bright red color now as he played around with the bag of baby items in his hands nervously.

Zim grinned wide. "But of course." he took Dib's arm and led him to where he had parked the voot.

Dib looked up as they approached the ship. "Y-You flew here?" he said, blinking wide eyes at Zim. "I-Isn't that somewhat dangerous to do in broad daylight? I mean, I can understand taking it out at night, but there aren't really many places you can hide it during the day. What if somebody had found it?!" he then exclaimed, rather appalled over the fact Zim would take such a risk.

"Dib, NOBODY will find it. Humans are stupid."

Dib's antennae seemed to droop at those words. "B-But I'M part human...A-And Rose and Jack are human...And Gaz is too...Even our smeets are part human..." his voice fell down to a whisper as he pressed a hand to his swelling belly.

"Well not ALL humans are stupid!" Zim rephrased quickly, pulling Dib into a hug. "Only most of them." he then nodded, not wanting Dib to feel as though he were lumping him in with the majority.

Dib found Zim's chest to hide his face away in as the other pulled him into a hug, his antennae twitching slightly. "...So you don't regret the fact that our smeets are part human...?" he asked, peering up at Zim.

"Of course not. That just means they're part you."

Dib's antennae fell back to rest more comfortably against his head as he lifted his head up more to look at Zim better. "...But I hope they turn out more like you...You...make me happy...So I want them...I want them to take more after you..." he said, hoping they wouldn't turn out too much like him.

Zim smiled sadly and nuzzled Dib. "They won't have to take after us, Dib. They can be their own selves." he said, not wanting to think of them as clones of themselves.

Dib smiled back a tiny bit. "But still...I hope...I hope they pick up some of their daddy's funny habits and mannerisms...Like...your reaction to the rattle..." he said, not opposed to having three little Zim-like smeets running around the house.

Zim blushed darkly. "That cursed thing." he shook a fist at the air, embarrassed over how easily manipulated he had been by its all too intriguing rattling noise.
