Sorry this chapter is kind of short but I really wanted to put out another tonight before I go to sleep. I hope you enjoy!
Dib and I simply walked around town for the majority of the day, he took me to lunch and we even went to the arcade for a bit. It was really lovely, I realized how much I had missed him. "Well I guess I should head home now. It was nice seeing you again Katie." Dib said smiling as he left me at my door.
"Yeah, I really missed you Dib. I'm glad to be back here again." I said, I gave him a hug and kissed his cheek. He put his hand up and gently touched where I kissed him before turning and heading towards his house. I watched him until he was out of sight then I ran towards Zim's house.
Once I reached Zim's house I knocked lightly and waited for someone to answer. "KATIE!" I heard an enthusiastic Gir greeting as the door was flung open. I suddenly felt the cold, metal embrace of Gir and I loved it.
"Hello Gir!" I said excitedly as I hugged him back. He was significantly smaller than me now, I had come to realized, even though I hadn't really grown too much. "Is Zim around?" I asked as we released the hug.
"Mastah's in the lab." Gir replied. I smiled and patted his head before heading over to the elevator and going down to the lab. Once I reached the lab I walked down the long path and saw Zim working on something. I cleared my throat awkwardly and Zim seemed startled, he jumped and spun around.
"Hi there." I said with a tiny smile.
"Oh, it's you Kat-Human." he said, seeming relieved. "What are you doing here?" He questioned.
"Visiting my friend, dummy. The mighty invader Zim?" I said walking towards him. "I saw Dib all day and then realized I haven't seen you much since I got here." I explained. He said nothing, he simply stared at me. "Hello? Earth to Zim?" I joked, waving my hand in front of his face. "Come hang out with me!" I whined playfully.
"Mighty invaders don't have time for hanging out." he said dismissively, turning back to what he was working on.
"Oh please, not even when it's to hang out with someone they haven't seen for five years?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Nope, not even that." he replied. I let out a sigh and walked over to him, peeking over his shoulder. "What are you doing, Kat-Human?" he asked, glancing at me.
"I'm bored. I need you to entertain me."I said simply, with an innocent shrug.
"... You're not going to leave me alone until I hang out with you, are you?" he asked.
"Nope." I replied happily, knowing I broke him.
"Fine, let's go." he said, putting down whatever he was working on, some kind of alien technology type thing. I squealed with excitement and grabbed his hand, running down the path to the elevator.
We went back up into the house and towards the door. "I'll be back later, Gir." he called as I dragged him out the door.
"Okay, where should we go?" I asked him excitedly.
"You were the one who wanted to go out, I have no idea." Zim replied with a shrug. I pouted at him for a couple seconds. "Oh fine, want to go get some repulsive Earth food?" he asked. I smiled at him and nodded.
We got some dinner and went to see a movie, a really terrible movie at that. It was fun though, we were able to judge and laugh at the movie. I remembered how much I missed Zim, too. Him and Dib were so important to me. I wished I could see Leah soon but for now hanging out with Zim and Dib would be enough.
Zim was walking with me back to my house, I made him hold my hand because it brought me comfort. He was surprisingly cooperative about it, though. I wasn't sure what time it was because it was dark out. We got to my house and I stood there for a while looking at the door.
"Kat-Human, are you going to go inside?" he asked me after a minute or so. I turned to him, my brain was thinking like crazy, but I smiled and let out a small laugh.
"Um yeah, sorry. I was just... thinking. Yeah, okay I should head inside. Thanks Zim, I really missed you." I said happily, I gave him a tight hug and was surprised to have him hug back. Without thinking I kissed him on the cheek too, I had forgotten that he was Zim, and not Dib, and he might not be so okay with it. Flustered, I quickly opened the door and headed inside, "goodnight, Zim." I squeaked before closing the door.
"You were out pretty late." I heard a voice say, I was so startled I actually screamed. "Woah, calm down it's just me." Josh said, coming over to me.
"Oh, gosh you scared me." I said, smacking him playfully on the arm.
"I can tell." he said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, sorry. I've just been hanging with my old friends. I really missed them." I explained with a grin. "Don't worry, I can show you around tomorrow or something." I said with a grin. "I'm going to head to bed though, I'm exhausted." I added.
"Oh, okay. Well goodnight." he said. I ran upstairs and headed into my room. Today was so eventful, I didn't really know how to process it.
I put on my pj's and laid down on my bed but I didn't actually fall asleep for hours because I couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened today. "What is wrong with me?" I asked myself before covering my face with my pillow and eventually falling asleep.
Hope you enjoyed! If anyone has suggestions or anything that would be cool because I'm kind of like coming up with random things and I need to plot twist or something like I don't really know where I'm going with this story and if I run out of ideas I might just discontinue it /: Anyways, hope anyone who is reading is enjoying it!
