-The Next Day-

Kim's POV:

I woke up to some kind of music. I rubbed my eyes and searched for from where it was coming from. Then I saw this cute little electronic device on the table. I grabbed it curiously and saw a note on the bottom. It said "open me" I opened it and heard a voice. It was Dib.

"Hey Kim!"

"Uh... Hello Dib..."

"Oh... Did I wake you?"

"Kind of..."

"Sorry I was just excited. Do you like your new phone?"

"Huh?"

"The thing where my voice is coming out of…"

"Ooooooooh! I can't like it if I know nothing about it."

"That's what you think..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing... Anyways is it true that you're going on a date with Zim?"

"Yeah! Why do you ask?"

"Um... Well... It's that today is a holiday and I wanted to show you something at eleven..."

"The movie finishes at nine, so there's enough time."

"Okay! So, I'll see you then?"

"You bet!"

"Great! I'll show you how to use your cell phone."

"Oh yeah! Thanks for the cell phone!"

"You're welcome. Bye!"

"Good bye!"

"Press the little red button..."

"Oh okay."

I did what he said and the cell phone turned off. I looked at the time. It was one o'clock. I was kind of hungry so I went down to the kitchen to see what Izy was making. It was waffles, as usual, but they were heart shaped.

"Hey Izy, what's with the hearts?"

"Oh... Nothing..."

"Is there something, or someone, on your mind."

"Well, 'member when I tried waffles the first time?"

"Oh yeah! You went crazy and your head exploded. I had to find all the pieces and put it back together!"

"Yeah! Well, when Gir's here, that's how I feel..."

"That means you love him, Izy."

"Oh! I like love."

I ate my waffles and looked at my watch. It was three o'clock. I should start getting ready... I went to my room and put on my disguise. Where are my contacts? I know I had them right here. I checked the drawers. Nothing! I started frantically searching for them. After a while, I gave up. I passed by the mirror and saw I already had them on. I heard a knock on the door. Zim's here!

"Izy, I'll be back later, watch the base!"

"Okay!"

I ran to the door, but tripped on my way out. I shut my eyes tight expecting to hit the cold cement floor. Instead, I was caught by two warm, gentle hands. I opened my eyes to see Zim's face dangerously close to mine. Instinctively, I jumped up and twisted his arm behind his back. He winced.

"OW!"

"Don't ever get that close to me again! Got it?"

"YES!"

I let his arm go. I didn't need his help... He led me into his ship.

"You look disgustingly human..."

I jokingly pushed him.

"Zim, what happens in movie theaters?"

"You'll see..."

We got to the movies and Zim went up to the ticket person.

"Two tickets for Danny the dog barks too much."

"Here you go... One for you and one for your mommy!"

I tried to suppress my laughter.

"My what? Foolish human, this is not my parental unit, this lovely creature is Zim's 'date'."
"Haha! Whatever kid... Go and play with a plastic bag or something. I'm going to be flirting with this fine lady."

I giggled at that comment. Before I could say anything, Zim was dragging me into the theater. The ticket guy screamed behind us.

"See ya later babe!"

We started watching the movie and it was horrible.

"Zim, why did you choose this movie? It sucks!"

Zim then gave me a goofy, love struck, smile.

"Look around."

I looked around and saw the theater was completely empty.

"Zim I don't see what's the big dea-"

Before I could finish my sentence, Zim pulled me close to him and kissed me. I tried to pull away, but I couldn't. I tried to punch him, but he had a tight grip on my hands. I was watching the crappiest movie you can imagine and, just to make things weirder, Zim was kissing me. When he pulled away I stared at him unable to move. I had an urge to slap him but at the same time, I wanted to continue kissing him. Zim looked at me with a smile on his face.

"I can tell you think Zim is a good kisser."

"S-shut up!"

I tried to hit him but, since the kiss impaired my sight, he easily dodged it and grabbed my hand. I swung at him with the other hand and he grabbed it too.

"Still dazed from my kiss I see."

He kissed me again. I moved my head away before his hypnotizing lips could take effect on me.

"Stop resisting, Kim. You know you want to kiss Zim."

All of the sudden, there was a bright light in my face.

"You lovebirds are going to have to leave. The movie was over an hour ago."

Crap! I didn't notice the time. I checked my watch. It was ten o'clock. I forgot all about Dib!

"Zim we have to go right now!"

Before Zim could respond, I dragged him to his ship and pushed him in. Zim wouldn't start the ship. He just stared at his feet.

"START THE SHIP!"

He looked at me and smiled.

"Not until you admit I'm a good kisser and kiss me again."

"Zim! I'm serious! We have to go!"

"I've got time."

"IT'S TEN!"

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Fine... You're a good kisser... Now let's go!"

"Nope."

"I ADMITED YOU'RE A GOOD KISSER!"

"But you didn't kiss me."

"Fine..."

I gave him a quick kiss.

"Now let's GO!"

"Okay."

I got home at ten thirty. I ran to my room and grabbed the cell phone because Dib said he was going to teach me how to use it. Then someone knocked on the door.

"Coooooomiiiiiing!"

I opened it and saw Dib. He was standing next to something.

"Hi, Dib!"

Dib's POV:

I couldn't keep my eyes off of her.

"Kim? Is that you?"

"Of course it's me! This is my house Dib! Why do you ask?"

I shyly looked away.

"Well it's just that... You're human disguise... You look... Wow!"

"I'll take that as a compliment..."

"What I mean is... You look beautiful."

"Thanks! Hey Dib, what's that thing next to you?"

"That's a bicycle. Humans use it as a way of transport."

"Cool!"

"You can try riding it if you want. Let me warn you, it takes months of practicing to master the bicycle."

"Okay!"

I helped Kim onto my bike. Before I could teach her how to pedal, she took off. I've never seen someone ride a bike so fast! I just stared with my mouth open. She skidded to a stop inches away from me.

"How? How did you do that?"

"Riding a bike is just like riding a Galancer back on Irk!"

"Well, since I know you can ride a bike, here's something for you."

I handed her the bike I had hiding behind the bushes. She stared at it for a while. It was a Barbie bike with sparkling streamers coming out of the handle bars, a basket in front, and a horn on the side.

"I LOVE IT DIB! WHERE DID YOU GET IT?"

"My dad bought for me before I was born. He thought I was going to be a girl. I refused to use it so my dad built me my own bike and he didn't even dare show it to my sister."

"Well, I love it."

Kim gave me a hug before getting on her bike.

"Follow me. Let's go to my house."

"Okay!"

We got to my house. When I opened the door, we were greeted by my dad.

"Hello there son, who is this?"

"This is my friend, Kim."

"Finally a friend! I was starting to worry about you son, with all your paranormal and alien talk."

She gave me a worried look. I reassuringly grabbed her hand. My sister walked by playing her Game Slave 3.

"I thought I'd never see the day where you'd actually have a friend. What did you do, hypnotize her?"

She talked without ever moving her eyes from the screen. Kim smiled at her.

"You like Game Slave? Have mine, I don't use it anymore."

Kim handed Gaz her Game Slave 4. She dropped her Game Slave and stared at Kim's with her mouth wide open.

"Where did you get this? They aren't going to sell them until Christmas!"

"Where I'm from, everyone owns one."

She then grabbed me by my ear and dragged me into the kitchen. Then she flung me against the fridge.

"OW!"
"Listen to me because I'm only going to say this once, Kim is the least annoying person I've met. You better not screw this up for me and make her mad at you or else... Do you even want an explanation?"

I gulped and shook my head. She then let me go and walked away. I returned to the living room and found Kim playing with her cell phone.

"Dib, your dad showed me how to use the cell phone."

I chuckled.

"Cool."

"I know right!"

I looked around nervously.

"Hey Kim, I want to show you something. Follow me."

"Okay."

I led her upstairs all the way to the roof. We sat on the edge. Then I saw people lighting fireworks. Just in time.

Kim's POV:

I heard a boom and the sky lit up. I got scared and hugged Dib.

"Don't worry, Kim, they're just fireworks. They're loud, but very pretty look!"

I lifted my head from his shoulder and saw pretty colors in the sky. There were reds, blues, greens, even pinks! It was beautiful!

"Kim, it's almost time for the count down! When I start counting, count with me!"

"Okay!"

Suddenly it got really quiet. Everyone started counting. I did like he told me to and counted with him.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... HAPPY NEW YEARS!"

Then I heard lots of screaming. People were hugging and kissing each other. I looked at Dib who was sadly watching a couple hug. I got closer to him and hugged him.

"HAPPY NEW YEARS DIB!"

He hugged me back.

"Happy new years, Kim. I'm glad you're here to celebrate with me."

After a while, when the fireworks ended, we were looking at the stars. Then I noticed we were holding hands. I pulled my hand away from his.

"It's getting late; I should be going home..."

"Don't leave yet! Can we do something first?"

"What is it?"

"Can we count the stars?"

"That will take forever!"

"Exactly..."

We were staring at each other. I never noticed what a beautiful hazel color his eyes were. I could stare at them all night. I was so lost in his eyes I didn't know Dib was leaning in to kiss me until it was too late.

And then...

We kissed...

My mind was having its own fireworks show. When he stopped kissing me, he offered to walk me home. I accepted. When I got to my house, I waved goodbye to Dib and went to bed. What a long day... It was at this moment I realized I had a tough decision to make: Zim or Dib?

BOOM!
Didn't see me coming did ya?
It's been forever!
But, I'm back :D
I'm planning on updating A LOT!
Especially now that I have a reason to update... :)
