AN: Thank you to my few reviewers. BadBad, Skully Wolf, Grimm2 and Jeff. I was going to make this an Epilogue thing at first, but I've got too much in my head for a single-chapter Epilogue and then it wouldn't be an Epilogue. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW! I hope you enjoy this.
Chapter 6 After Dib's Death
Dib was floating around the house frantically.
"Who will stop Zim now? I know you did this for us to be together Amy, but now Zim will destroy Earth due to our selfishness. You even admitted that we can't foil all of his plans now that I'm a ghost!"
"Dib, stop worying! I'll figure something out! Now, you stay here. I'll be back later, O.K. sweetie?" Before Dib had a chance to answer Amy she gave him a kiss and then flew off. Dib slumped on the couch in their house. Zim had finally succeded in killing him all because he had fallen in love with a ghost. Well, Amy seemed to know what she was doing. All he could do was wait.
"Gaz, listen to me! I know Zim isn't good at conquering Earth, but if there's no one to stop him, he WILL succeed."
"Why should I care?" Amy thought for a moment. Then she grinned.
"You like video games, don't you?"
"Yeah, but what's that got to do with it."
"If you don't stop Zim and he destroys the world, there won't be any more video games. And even if he fails on his own, I'll destroy your video games."
"You can't. You're a ghost."
"I made a test tube in Zim's lair explode! I can do that to your video games. Wanna try me?"
"Yeah, go ahead. Destroy this game."
"Alright set it down and back away." Gaz did as she was told. The game started smoking.
"Stop! I'll keep Zim from destroying the Earth!" The game stopped smoking.
"Alright. I'll go make Dib stop spazzing out then!"
"Wait. How come I have to save the Earth? If Dib can worry about it how come he can't do it?"
"Zim killed him and he's a ghost now, like me."
"Alright I guess." Amy left to tell Dib.
"Dib! The Earth is safe!" Dib looked up.
"Did Zim die?"
"No. I found someone to take your place."
"How? You said that Gaz and I were the only humans who could see you..." That's when it dawned on him. "Gaz? You convinced Gaz to take my place as Earth's defender? How?"
"I threatened to destroy her video games."
"Good thing you were already dead. She would kill any living person who did that."
"O.K. Well, let's go visit Zim."
"WHAT?"
"Dib, I know you aren't stupid. I said, let's go visit Zim."
"I'm just going to trust you on this for one reason other than the fact that I love you."
"That reason would be?"
"Zim can't kill you." Amy and Dib set out for Earth.
"Hey, Zim. How's it going?" Zim knew that voice. It was that Amy again.
"Amy, what are you doing here? Dib is dead now and we both got what we wanted."
"Yeah, I didn't TELL you everything I wanted. I brought you your new best friend, Dib!"That's when they both started staring at her. Dib recovered first.
"WHAT? You want me to be friends with him after he killed me?"
"Dib, baby, you really need to stop pretending you're stupid. I want you and Zim to be friends. I mean, now that you guys won't be fighting all the time. Despite the diferences you guys were always paying attention to when Dib was alive, you guys actually have quite a bit in common. I mean, EVERYONE at skool hates both of you. They will probably be glad to find out Dib's gone."
"Zim, she does have a point with the common ground thing. We do have some things in common. We can try it."
"Good. I'll see you two later." And with that she left the room.
"So, Zim, good times, huh?"
"Eh... I guess. It was kind of fun trying to destroy you."
"Trying to stop you from destroying Earth was great for me."
"You know, we could pretend, every once in a while. Just, you know, if we ever need something intersting to do."
"Hey, Zim, you're still going to be trying to destroy Earth, right?"
"Of course! The Tallest still expect me to do that. I can't let the Tallest down. Not after Operation Impending Doom 1."
"Why do you need to redeem yourself after Operation Impending Doom 1?"
"I... um... did a lot of destruction to our planet, Irk." Zim seemed to be uncomfortable talking about this so Dib changed the subject.
"So, I can't think of anything else to talk about. I guess I'll go home now then. I guess I'll see you tommorrow or something?"
"Yeah, tommorrow sounds good." Dib left and Zim went back to the project he had been working on when they showed up.
As soon as Dib got in the house, Amy was by him.
"So, how did it go?"
"Well, I'm supposed to go see him again tommorrow. It was kind of awkward. I mean, I was talking to the alien that killed me. It just felt... weird."
"Eh, you'll get over it and you guys will get where your good friends."
"I'll just take your word for it Amy."
AN: Now, I don't think I'm ending it quite yet. I want to show you guys how Dib and Zim's relationship grows and there's one other thing too so, just know I'm not quite done. Please review! Reviews make me happy and I tend to be better at writing when I'm happy.
