A/N: Thank you for the reviews! It's really helping me to be motivated. I shall continue to write for this story UNTIL FINISHED! And being the noob that I am I don't exactly know how to reply so please don't expect a response. :)

Dib awoke the next morning to the sun glaring down at him through his window. He sat up, groping for his glasses. Once he managed to search them out he proceeded to get dressed and head down stairs for breakfast.

Gaz sat at the table playing her GameSlave as usual. The dark rings under her eyes indicated to him that she stayed up all night playing it. Sighing at his sisters obsession, he pulled out a chair from the table and sat there fixing himself a bowl of cereal.

"Hey Gaz." He said trying to get her attention.

"What do you want? I'm TRYING to play my game." She replied, the anger obvious in her voice.

"I just wanted to let you know that Zim came back." Dib said a smile pulling the edge of his mouth.

"So?"

"So?! This means that he's gonna try to take over the world again!! I gotta save the--" Gaz cut him off, pausing her game to look up at him with glaring eyes.

"Your voice makes me angry." She said with a low growl.

Dib just sighed again and stopped talking. He knew he wouldn't get anywhere with her so he just sat there eating his cereal. When he finally finished he put his bowl in the sink and left the house, heading for skool.

He arrived just in time so he didn't provoke the wrath of Ms. Bitters. That was the last this that he wanted today.

"Class." Ms. Bitters said in a harsh tone, "Zim has decided to return to this wretched skool."

As she said that Zim walked through the door and took his same seat as before. Before sitting though he looked at the class and said, "Yes I shall be rejoining you worm-babies in your feeble educational program." He was going to say more but he caught the glare Ms. Bitters tossed him out of the corner of his eye.

Clearing his throat he sat down and stared forwards as Ms. Bitters lectured them on how they would all amount to nothing in the future. Dib just stared at Zim from across the room, mouth slightly agape. He felt a little light-hearted but forced that emotion aside and pulled out a notebook. He flipped to the nearest open page and started scribbling down plans to stop him.

When the bell for class to end and to go to lunch Dib stared down at his work and realized he used over three pages in his notebook. He blinked and closed it, following all the other students to the cafeteria.

After waiting in line to get his lunch (Which he wasn't even sure was food or not.) he headed towards the table that Gaz sat at. Staring down at his lunch in disgust he poked it with his fork and then put some in his mouth. It tasted horrible. Like some dirty sock that had been forgotten at the bottom of a hamper. He forced it down and then poked it for the rest of lunch.

While doing this he was also staring at the green boy who had no ears. He glared as he watched him pick up his fork and examine the food. With a questionable look on his face, Zim seemed to study the food as if it was another being. Only half way through lunch did he notice the big-headed kid glaring at him.

'Hmph… The Dib-human.' Zim thought angrily to himself as he gave a cold glare back.

Once the 'eating' part of lunch was over, all the children piled into the schoolyard for recess.

Dib approached Zim and they both stared at each other in hatred. Of course, Dib's was only partial hatred. They pressed their foreheads together as they used to and Dib said in a cold voice,

"I'm going to catch you Zim. And when I do, I'll finally get the respect I deserve around here."

"Hah. Defeating Zim shall not be so easy this time. Remember. I've had training."

'Oh yeah. The training.' Dib thought to himself sarcastically.

"Listen." He said, jabbing a finger into the aliens chest. "It doesn't matter what kind of training you've had Zim, I WILL get you."

Zim pulled his head away and stood straight up with his eyes narrowed and a slight frown on his mouth.

"You shall never defeat Zim!" He cried at Dib. "NEVER."

It was just then that Dib was vaguely aware of that same light-headedness from earlier. It was stronger than before and he couldn't force it away no matter how he tried to.

'Why did these feelings keep coming on whenever Zim was nearby?!' Dib screamed in his head. 'It's not like…. I…. Ya' know… Like him or anything… He's my arch nemesis!! I can't like him like that… Can I?' The whole time he was pondering this thought he didn't hear the child call out to him to watch out.

Then a dodge ball struck him in the back of the. His vision blacked out and he fell forwards. Straight onto Zim. The unsuspecting alien didn't have time to react, it all happened so quickly. Dib fell on top of Zim, his head landing on the aliens chest.

With his vision still gone for the moment, Dib brought himself to his hands and knees. Once his vision returned he saw a shocked, red and green alien beneath him. That light-headed feeling from earlier was now in full force. He felt his face redden immediately and his brain couldn't process. After a few seconds Dib came to his sense and started getting off of the alien. Before he could Zim placed his hand on Dib's chest, increasing the redness on the boy's face, and shoved him off.

"Keep your hands off of Zim." He said standing and brushing himself off.

As Zim marched back to class, Dib merely laid on the asphalt thinking about what just happened. He… Zim… On top… Dodge ball… He lost in a completely different world.

Only after an extremely cold gust of wind blew did he come back to this world. He sat up straight and noticed no one else around. Getting up as fast as he could he practically flew back to Ms. Bitters class. But he still unfortunately, was late and made her extremely angry. Thus he had to endure a lecture about how they would all die until the end of the day.
