Dib stared out of his window, watching the small flurries from yesterday's storm join what was already on the ground. He kept thinking about the two words that Zim had said, two words he would never be able to forget.
"I'm scared."
Dib felt a shiver run up his spine. It was pitiful, seeing what was once such a proud and fierce Invader, admitting a weakness to his worst enemy. It was unnerving. But Dib knew something else, too. You had to be very strong to admit your feelings.
Did that mean Zim was strong?
No…it could have been a mistake. Zim didn't realize how much emotions affected a person's life.
Another question.
Why is it now, that Zim is feeling other feelings?
Dib had thought about this, too, and had an answer. Zim's race, the Irkens, had brainwashed themselves. They spoke in third person and shouted, if only to emphasize their greatness. They believed they were the greatest of all.
What must it be like to be part of such a barbaric society? A world where you live like a conqueror and a king, despising all other races for you yourself is 'perfect'?
…and then to suddenly be taken out. Suddenly be pulled away from everything you knew and lived for. What must it feel like to be shunned by the perfect race, who were determined to rule over all other races. The race that felt nothing for others, who only cared for themselves? What must it be like to suddenly be dumped into the world of unknown and uncertainty?
Man, Zim's life had plummeted like a 30-ton anchor in the ocean, just above the Mariana Trench.
Dib watched the light breeze blow the little snowflakes around making them dance in the air.
Zim was scared for the first time. Or, at least, truthfully scared for the first time. What was the Irken going to do now that he had nowhere to go? This question bothered Dib.
Zim would still be confused to the new feelings. He wouldn't understand them, or know what they meant. What would a desperate alien do, alone, unwanted, and confused?
Dib knew that answer too.
He'd go insane.
From here, there was no way to predict what would happen next. What would an insane alien do to the world he so hated? There was no telling.
Both Zim and Earth were in danger now.
And what was Dib going to do? Save the world, of course.
How, do you ask?
Well, By saving Zim.
I've got an Idea of where I want to go with this now
I'm pleased with this chapter, even if it is really short. It kinda gives you an idea of the small plot thing I have going on in my crooked 15-year-old head.
Heh, I might turn this into a full-fledge fic before you know it! xD
