Hello IZ fans:D I've been getting some good reviews, but I've noticed that my chapters were a bit... em... Short. This is caused by a disease called LAZINESS, so I'm going to fix that.
Enjoy the show!- Er, Story!
Oh, and I don't own Invader Zim, Dib, or Gir. Or the Titanic. But I own Dizzy and the plot!!
-----------------
Dib laughed out loud. "Zim got drunk?!"
Dizzy gave Dib a disturbed look. It was a pretty strange image of Zim, or any irken really, getting drunk. It was a good thing Zim wasn't there too long though, who knows what could have happened. Since they had no time for dinner, Dizzy had to improvise on getting Zim and herself something to eat, by having some of Gir's muffins that he carried in his hallow head for dinner. After about an hour, thankfully Zim passed out. Dizzy was sure he'd be in for a really bad headache when he woke up, considering all of the beer he drank.
"Yes," Dizzy answered. "He's still unconcious on his bed, I guess it has a bigger effect on him than you humans."
Dib and Dizzy were talking on the boat's bow, it seemed to be their favorite spot. It was another sun shining day, with a light, cool breeze. Dib enjoyed talking to Dizzy, she wasn't as crazy as she was when she talked to Zim. She was actually really nice. But Dib always wondered why she never wanted to help Zim take over the earth as much, or take over any planet, really. It was strange for an 'invader'... If she even was an invader.
"Hey, Dizzy," Began Dib. Dizzy turned her attention to Dib, away from the ocean. "Why is Zim so afraid of the Titanic?"
Dizzy giggled. "He's not afraid!" She said. "Zim isn't afraid of anything!"
Dib let go of the conversation. He wondered, was she in denial, or really that clueless?
"Are you afraid?" Dib asked her. A cool breeze blew by. Dizzy's wig blew through it.
"Of course not." She said. She smiled as she stared out onto the ocean. "I think it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen." Dizzy sat herself on the bars placed on the edge of the boat (Making sure no one stupid would fall off.). "On Irk, we don't have oceans like this... Or any at all, really. Mostly just construction sites... The tallest are always trying to build a better empire, but what they are really doing is destroying the last of our planet's beautiful nature."
Dib was suprised at this. He didn't know Dizzy cared so much about her home planet. That must have been why she doesn't want to destroy earth, since it is so beautiful.
"Wow..." Said Dib. "Did the Tallest destroy all of your planet's environment?"
No one answered. Dib quickly faced Dizzy, but she wasn't there.
"Dizzy..?" Suddenly, Dib heard a shout. He sprinted toward the boats edge in panic. There he saw Dizzy hanging over it, barely holding onto the side bars.
"DIB!!!" Dizzy exclaimed with tears running down her face. "HELP ME!!!"
Without thinking, Dib slid under the bars and grabbed Dizzy's hands. His heart was racing, he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands grab his feet and pull him back onto the ship. Half of Dizzy's body was still hanging overboard. "Hey! Hey!" Dib exclaimed. "Somebody help!"
"Quiet down!" a familiar voice scowled. A second later Dib was thrown onto the ship with Dizzy still hanging on to him. Dib panted heavily, wondering what the heck had just happened. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, when something slightly kicked his head.
"Stu-pid human.." Dib now realized in was Zim - even though he pretty much figured it out the first time he heard his voice. Dib sat up and rubbed the spot on his head where Zim had kicked him. "Dizzy... Dizzy, are you alright?" He opened his eyes. Dizzy was sitting in front of him, shivering. Zim was on his knees and whispering something in her ear. Dizzy was staring into a blank space, not blinking or shifting her eyes to any other direction. She looked like when Gaz had realized that her game slave had run out of batteries for the first time... Petrified.
"Dib stink!" Said Zim, causing Dib to lose his train of thought. "Take Dizzy back to our room. I'd do it, but I have things to do."
Dib agreed, though he was confused. Wasn't Zim in his be, unconcious? And if he says he hates Dizzy so much, why did he save her, including Dib? And what was he whispering in her ear? Dib decided it was best to save the questions for later and take Dizzy back to her room.

It was about 6 in the morning. Zim was sitting outside, keeping his distance from the ship's edge. He leaned against a wall and watched the ocean pass him by. The sun was just beginning to rise, the sky was painted with vibrant colors, such as pink, orange and red, with a splash of blue. It was like a painting Zim once saw in art class... Oh how he hated that class.
Zim was frustrated. It has been two days and he still hasn't found the brain. He had to find it tonight.
"Hey Zim."
Zim immediantly knew who it was... And how he wished it wasn't him. Dib came closer to him, he leaned on the same wall where Zim was. Dib was wearing a long black trench coat and gloves, though his feet were bare.
It was quiet for a few minutes, but Zim soon broke the silence as he shifted his annoyed eyes toward Dib. "What do you want?"
"Why did you do that?" Dib asked while putting his hands in his coat pocket. Zim's eyes returned to the sight of the colorful sky and moving water. "I was drunk."
Dib smirked. He knew that even for an alien, the effects of being drunk couldn't possibly last that long. "Please," He said, turning his head towards Zim. "I know you too well, Zim. If you were drunk you'd probably shout something about you being high and mighty and then fall overboard yourself."
Zim growled. There he goes again, he thought. Trying to act like he was smart.
"But what I don't get," Dib continued, "Was that you saved her life, and my life as well. And what were you whispering to her when she was back on the ship?"
Zim didn't answer. He felt so 'trapped' with all of these questions Dib was giving him. It was quiet yet again, and only the sound of the waves was heard. Soon, Zim broke the silence once more.
"It was an irken lullaby." Zim stated bluntly. He didn't bother looking at Dib's curious face.
"A... Lullaby?" There was a small chuckle in Dib's sentence. Zim actually gave him a small grin as well.
"Yep." Zim replied. "I've known Dizzy for a pretty long time, way back on irk. And I know that whenever she is frightened, the only thing that will calm her is that lullaby."
Dib gave Zim a very confused look. It was very unlike Zim to do such a thing. In fact, he pictured Zim knowing almost nothing about Dizzy but her name, let alone a special lullaby that would always cheer her up. He wondered... Did Zim secretly care about her?
Soon, curiosity struck Dib. "How does it go?" He suddenly had the urge to slam his head against the wall for asking such a question.
Zim glared at him, but the small smile didn't go away. He smirked and said, "Well, you don't expect me to sing it to you, do you?"
"Uh, no. Sorry." Dib took a few steps off, ready to leave, when he suddenly turned back at Zim. "You know, she never did stop crying last night." Zim sighed.
"She'll get over it."

YAYAS. Chapter end HERE.
Okay everyone, like I've told you, I know almost nothing about ships, so feel free to flame.
In this chapter, it kind of reveals more of Dizzy's character. In a nutshell, she was a long time "friend" of Zim's, even way back on Irk. She's a nature lover, and she is EXTREMELY sensative. and by 'sensative' I mean she can get a freakin heart attack easily... And the only thing that will calm her down is an Irken lullaby.
Oh yes.. About the lullaby... I completely forgot that Irkens do not sleep, OK? That was my bad... But hey, a lullaby sounds alot cuter than some 'irken song..' Oh and beware, I had to quickly make up the lullaby last night, so it might be bad. feel free to flame about that if you want to.
Oh yeah, and don't worry, Zim isn't going to get all mushy and friendshippy with Dizzy and Dib in the next chapter. He'll be back to normal. Oh and feel free to R&R.
