Chapter 3 Dib's love

Dib had almost gotten the plan perfect. There were still some bugs that he couldn't work out but he was sure that Amy would be able to help him figure it out. Amy. She was so beutiful. If only she weren't a ghost. Maybe if he tried hard enough to look past that they could have a relationship. He stopped work on the plan for Zim's capture and started working on something different, a plan to earn Amy's love. He knew it was probably silly but he had to try and make this work. He loved Amy. He knew it pretty much went against his paranormal obssesions but there was something about Amy that he loved. Just then he heard laughing. He quickly minimized the thing he was working on and turned around.

"Hello Amy." Dib started blushing. He realized that Amy had probably been there a long time. That thought made him blush even more.

"Hey Dib." Amy saw how Dib was. "It's alright. I could use a little love, Dib. Why don't we go to the park and talk?"

"Alright." Dib was glad for the change of subject. He shut down his computer and opened his door and walked out with Amy following him.

"Who's your girlfriend?" Gaz was actually looking at Dib and Amy instead of her Gameslave.

"This is Amy and she's not my girlfriend."

"Sure she's not." Before Dib had a chance to reply Gaz turned and walked away to her room, playing her game again. Dib sighed and continued on to the door. This time, his dad was no where to be found. Dib walked out the door and headed towards the park. He wanted to hold Amy's had but he didn't know if his hand would go through her's or not. They got ot the park and found a nice hill where nobody would walk up and think Dib was talking to himself.

They sat down and Amy started talking first.

"Dib, I like you alot. And you've already shown me you like me." Dib started blushing again. This was really embarrasing. "The thing is though, we can't be together."

"Why?" Dib really wished that they could be together. "Does it have anything to do with you being dead?"

"Partially, but it also has to do with something neither of us could control."

"What?"

"It's a concept that I call birthdeath. See, what it is, is that the minute I died is the minute you were born. I'm stuck here because of that. There's a home waiting for me in the realm of the dead and I can't go there until...until you're...dead. By the time you die of natural causes you'll be way older than me. Really, I'll be older than you, but since I'm a ghost, I don't age."

"Oh." Dib drooped visibly. Even his hair seemed to droop.

"Dib, remember one thing. Don't do anything stupid out of your love for me. I don't want you to cause yourself harm because of loving me. Now, when do you want to infiltrate Zim's base?"

"Now. There's no reason to wait."

"Alright then." Amy got up and Dib got up and headed towards Zim's house with Amy right behind him.
