Another's POV

Gaz kept tossing and turning uncomfortably in her sleep she was in a fight and was losing. Zim noticed this and wondered why she moved so much while she was resting 'doesn't look very restful.' Zim thought. So he decided to awake her from her slumber. He shook her arm a little but it didn't work, he poked her face and picked up her arm and shook it. It still didn't wake her. He got frustrated and angry so he garbed her by shoulders and sat on top of her straddling her. he shook her shoulders vigorously until she opened her eyes. When Gaz opened her eyes to see she saw who had saved her from her hellish nightmare. She was breath heavily from the near death she had in her cruel, evil nightmare. Once Gaz had her breath she stared at Zim who was still straddling her his hands slowly falling off her shoulders.

Gaz also noticed how close Zim was to her face less then an centimeter away from his. His breath on hers, she stared in to his big scarlet-red eyes. The light entering the room made them look like beautiful rare rubies. (He had taken off his contacts while he was sleeping.) Zim started to stare deeply into Gaz's eyes as well she had a soft but strong shade of hazel it complimented her violet hair amazingly. The little light entering the room made her eyes shine like extraordinary amber gems. Gaz eyes began to fall on Zim's mouth sharp but round teeth, soft green lips, and his long, red, skinny tongue Gaz blushed a little while she was looking at his tongue.

Zim noticed this and saw how beautiful the human was when she changes color. Her checks always changed to a deeper color yet he didn't know why but he didn't care it just made her more beautiful. His eyes began to fall on her lips as well. ' They look so soft.' He thought. Her teeth seemed to look the same as Irken teeth look. Zim's eyes continued to look at her mouth seeing her red, long, flat tongue. Zim blushed as he saw it. Gaz saw this and had a small smile, Zim smiled also he enjoyed seeing Gaz happy. Before they knew it they were moving there heads closer together. Gaz was tilting her head and slowing shutting her eyes. Zim did the same. They could feel the closeness of each others lips. They could feel each others breath on their own. They felt each others hearts beat faster and faster. Zim felt her soft purple hair on his face moving closer his arms moving to Gaz's back. Gaz's hands moving to his. Gaz almost completely shut her eyes and less then a second away from kissing both Zim's and Gaz's stomach and squiggly spooch growled.

Gaz eyes shot open and she had blushed a deeper red then she ever had before realizing what's going on. She pushed Zim's arms away from her And shoved Zim off of her as fast as she could. Zim went flying backwards and fell off the bed. Gaz didn't help him get up she was too embarrassed of what she almost did. She just sat in her bed pulling the blanket to cover her. She covered herself with it as if she had no clothes even though she had her pajamas.

Zim slowly got up confused and said in an almost whinny tone " What was that for?" Gaz continued to blush but did not answer and shook her head.

There was a moment of silence when Gaz replied in an angry tone not angry with Zim but at herself " What do you think you were doing!" Her voice almost cracking as she finished her response which made her blush more.

"What?!" Zim said confusingly as he continued "

I thought... Well you..didn't you?.. I...er...um.."

There was an awkward pause until Zim decide to finish his sentence " I... Um... I thought you wanted to... Didn't you?"

He said confusingly again. "I...I" Gaz could not finish her sentence, she was too filled with embarrassment

. An awkward silence filled the air. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when Zim's squiggly spooch growled again this time Gaz didn't smile. She got up and out of her bed, got her clothes that she was going to wear that day and left to change in the bathroom. She dressed in under a minute. But she still stayed inside her back leaning on the door as she slowly fell to her knees. Her head resting on her knees. 'Why did I have to do that!? WHY? WHY? WHHYYY!?' Tears began to flow down her checks.

She noticed this and quickly used her arm to wipe away the tears. 'I need to pull myself together.' She commanded myself. Gaz looked in the mirror and saw puffy red whipped and rubbed down until you could barely notice if she was crying. She picked up her old clothes and three them in the hamper. And walked out back to her bedroom where the confused alien was there waiting for her. Zim didn't know what to do when Gaz was gone. His blush eventually faded but his thoughts and emotions were still mixed.'

How can I let a human distract me from my mission. Ugh. Stupid emotions making me feel things I never wanted to feel.' Zim thought pouting while he sat on Gaz's bed. He glanced back at. She came bake wearing dark blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and her signature skull necklace. Zim had nothing else to wear yet so he still wore the same clothes. Gaz noticed this and remembered that Dib only left that outfit. She went into her fathers room and got a striped shirt, black pants, and one if his many white lab coats. She came back into her room and threw the clothes at Zim. He gave a confused look at her. She just left the room and closed the door behind her while Zim dressed. Once he was done. She lead Zim downstairs to eat breakfast. 'The clothes are really big on him.I need to get him some that fit him soon.' She thought to herself.

She didn't really talk to him just motioned him over. She was still to embarrassed about what happened or 'what almost happened' she thought. 'It was good I didn't kiss him. Right?' She continued to think. She tried to convince herself that not kissing him was the best choice, but she knew deep down she really really wanted to. 'Stupid stomach!' She thought as she was making waffles for the two of them to eat. she tried to think of something else like her dream. On how it tried to kill her and almost did even though it was only a bad dream but still 'Why in the world would I dream something like that!' She thought to herself as got the maple syrup. Zim was sitting at the table staring at Gaz as she searched for the syrup. 'What did I do that was so wrong?' He thought to himself ' She did wanted to make contact right?' He was very confused on what happened. He began to wonder what had happened earlier. 'Why was the Gaz tossing and turning so much?' He pondered. He decided to speak up breaking the silence that intoxicated the room,

"Gaz-human are you well? "

" what do you mean?" She asked caught of guard by the sudden question

"I mean earlier today yo-"

Gaz blushed and interrupted him in an almost panicked voice

" Zim I-I..it was nothing Zim just forget about that whole thing."

Zim thought for a moment think what was so bad about it when he relized she was talking about the contact if mouths thing. He replied in a calm voice understanding she miss-heard

" No Gaz I mean when you were tossing and turning when you were dormant"

"Oh.. " Gaz said clearly mishearing the question but continued "I..I was having a nightmare."

"A night-e-mare."

"Yes a nightmare."

"What is a night-e-mare?"

"Well while humans sleep we have dreams and in a dream anything can happen. It could be good, weird, funny,...bad. And with a bad dream if it filled with well bad things then its called a nightmare ." Gaz answered.

"Hmm... Then what bad things happened in your night-e-mare?" Zim questioned again.

"Well I...um..." Gaz shivered from the memory of her nightmare.

"Look Zim I don't want to talk about it right now."

"But why? What could possibly be so bad to frighten you this much?"

"I wasn't scared!" Gaz said angrily as she walked towards Zim putting her arms on the table getting in Zim's him a threatening stare.

She continued "Look Zim I don't want to talk about this now!" The stared at each other as they smelt something burning.

"What's burning?" Zim asked smelling the air.

He turned his head to see where the smell was coming from. Gaz turned her head in the same direction Zim was turning his.

"The waffles!" Zim yelled waving his arms in the air.

Gaz ran towards the stove and turning it off. She got a dish rag and was trying to put out the small fire one of the waffles had. She was cooking 6 but since one of them was on fire now she only has 5. She groaned at the waffles now containing burnt spots. She gathered them on a plate and set it on the middle of the table. She unknowingly sat next to Zim as she got him and herself different plates. She placed the syrup on the table between herself and Zim. Zim smiled at this and grabbed the syrup picking it up and squeezing the sticky ness Into his mouth, drinking half of it. Gaz just sighed got a brunt waffle on her plate and poured what little syrup left on to the waffle.

Zim saw her and mimicked her actions till the syrup ran out and they were left eating the brunt food without sirup. They ate in silence until they made it to the last waffle. Gaz and Zim both stuck there fork in it at the same time. They slowly made eye-contact with each other. Gaz quickly took her fork out of the brunt food clearly wanting Zim to take it. The alien detected this and picked up the waffle with his fork and placed it on her plate wanting her to consume it.

She was a little surprised at this and opened her mouth to say something but Zim beat her to it " Gaz- human I command you to consume this waffley goodness." He claimed in an commanding but sweet voice.

Normally Gaz wouldn't let anyone say 'I command you' to her but she recognized the sweet geuster but didn't say anything and ate it with a soft smile. 'Maybe this alien isn't so bad after all.' She thought as Zim tried to clean the dirty dishes with an already dirty dishrag.
