I sat on his lap eagerly.

"Dib…" I said quietly.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I swear I will never leave again and as long as I live, I will stay right here. In this city. With you. Or wherever you go."

"You are so adorable. Thank you." He said. I blushed and grabbed my little penguin. I wrapped my arms around Dib and fell asleep there. I slowly drifted into a dream…but this was no ordinary dream, it was a nightmare.

For me, nightmares were unusual. And this was an unusual night. This nightmare that I had was almost too real. But, I did have a lot on my mind so it's not much of a surprise. I mean, my mom died and I was sure that Sizz-Lorr was dead. I mean, I stabbed him for crying out loud!

I woke up to the ringing of the phone. I then realized I was still on Dib's lap and Dib was still asleep. I wiped some sweat off of my face and answered it.

All I heard was deep breathing on the other line. I might have heard someone mumble something, but I wasn't sure.

Stupid prank-callers.

I hung it up.

Dib opened his eyes slowly.

"Oh, hey Candy. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine." I said. "Why?"

"You seemed really disturbed in your sleep but…I didn't really want to wake you up." Dib said.

"Oh. Yeah, I'm good." I said. "How did you sleep?"

"Pretty well." He said, getting up and stretching. "Why don't we go to Zim's today?"

"Okay!" I said happily. I ran into the bathroom and got dressed.

When I came out, he was ready so we walked over to Zim's house. I knocked on the door.

"Oh hi!" he said when he answered.

"Zim." I said. "Didn't you say that you landed the voot on your lawn the other day?" (This was me being paranoid)

"Oh, yeah…maybe it self-destructed. I wouldn't worry about it, Candy." He said, letting us in. We sat on the couch next to Gir. I set the small robot on my lap.

"I LIKE TACOS!" he said. I rubbed his head.

"I know you do…" I said.

We watched TV for the rest of the day. By 6PM I realized something.

"Um, Dib…" I said, looking around. Zim was in the restroom. "Tell Zim that I'm at the store, okay."

"The store?" he asked. "For what?"

"Girl stuff. I'll be back soon, okay? Bye." I said, walking out the door. It was getting dark. I went into the store, picked up what I needed, and went in line.

The line was very long. Boo.

I finally checked out my stuff, went back to Dib's house, put it away, and was on my way back to Zim's. I was dozing off in my thoughts when I saw a car's headlights. I jumped back and bumped into someone. A female. I could make out Dark hair and blue eyes.

"I've been looking for you." She said. "You've been a bad girl."

I know, it was short. But you'll never guess who it is! Well, maybe. Not Candy's mom…and woah, wait! Is Sizz-Lorr even dead yet? Okay, I'll give you a hint about the girl. She was only mentioned in Innocent and Devious and was thought to be dead. Now can you guess? REVIEW!
