Dib's POV:
I woke up with a headache. I put my hand on my head and felt a bump. Strange... That wasn't there yesterday... I looked at my window and saw it broken. On the floor was a rock with a note tied to it.
"Just because we have to act friendly-like in front of Kim doesn't mean we aren't still enemies and I won't still try to destroy you. If you got hit in the head, Zim will laugh at you in advanced: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Love... No wait... Hate, Zim"
Just by looking at the note I knew it was from Zim. He has horrible handwriting. It's really big and he never leaves any space between the words, unlike me. My handwriting is small but legible and cursive. My teacher says I have the best handwriting in the class. All of a sudden my stomach growled. I'm glad it did too. I was starting to sound like a dork... I got out of bed and heard a thump. When I looked down I saw Kim's thought journal. I completely forgot I put this in my pocket! I was going to open it but I realized that would be wrong. I put it on the floor and it automatically opened. Well... It wouldn't hurt to take a peak...
Kim's Thought Journal:
...What a crazy day! It was at this moment I realized I had a tough decision to make: Zim or Dib?
Note: I know... I'm choosing between an idiot from my race and a nice guy from the stupid human race... No matter who I choose, I end up loosing... Crap...
Another note: You know what, I prefer Zim… Sure he's an idiot, but there's something about him that makes me love him. That goofy smile he gives me when I talk to him and the way his eyes sparkle when talking about taking over the Earth. All I have to do is wait…
Last note: Am I getting obsessive? Oh great, I'm obsessive, I talk to myself… What else makes me strange?
I have to get Kim to change her mind. At least I know me and Kim have two things in common: being obsessive and, the one I've always been judged about, talking to ourselves. I looked out my window and saw Zim with a rose in his hand. CRAP! HE'S GOIN TO SEE KIM! I ran out the door.
"Hey, Zim!"
"What is it filthy human? I'm busy!"
"Um... I wanted to tell you something about Kim!"
"Go on..."
"I read her thoughts journal and it said she hates you... And thinks you're an idiot... And she'd rather date a human than you..."
"She didn't say that... Did she?"
"See for yourself..."
I opened Kim's thought journal and only showed Zim the part that said he was an idiot. Then I closed it really fast so he wouldn't read the rest.
"I... I can't believe she thought that... About Zim..."
"Yep she did!"
Zim dropped the rose and slowly walked away. He looked really sad.
"Are you going to work on your latest plan to destroy me?"
"No Dib... I'm not in the mood..."
Was Zim... Crying? I didn't know Zim could cry. What have I done? I felt really bad... If Zim was feeling like that, what would Kim feel like? I knew I was going to hate myself for what I was about to do…
"Hey Zim, I was lying..."
"Eh?"
"Kim said she wanted to be with you and all you had to do was ask..."
I showed him the thought journal and expected him to hit me. But when I looked up he had disappeared. The thought journal was on the floor. I looked back to see Zim running towards Kim's house. I sighed but remembered I had to do it for Kim. Okay... I admit... It was also a bit for Zim... I kind of felt sorry for the little guy... I wanted to annihilate him by exposing his true identity to the world, not breaking his heart or whatever he has... I walked into my house and saw my sister eating cereal. I walked right by her.
"Hey! Aren't you going to eat cereal?"
"No, I'm not hungry..."
"At least look in the box!"
I had no option so I looked inside the cereal box. Empty... Of course... Gaz had eaten all the cereal and had taken the prize inside. I sighed and started walking towards my room.
"Aren't you going to whine that I ate all the cereal or beg me to give you the stupid prize inside?"
"Not now Gaz..."
She then threw the prize at me. It hit me in the back of my head.
"It's no fun if you don't beg for it. Take it, I don't want it."
I disregarded her and walked up to my room. I slammed the door, jumped in bed, and put a pillow on my head. Then I realized something... If I couldn't be Kim's boyfriend, I could show her I could be her best friend, which is better than nothing! Yeah... I'm going to be the best friend Kim has ever had! And I had the perfect plan to show her how...
Kim's POV:
I heard someone ring the door bell. I looked at the monitor and saw Zim standing there timidly. Since I knew it was him, I didn't bother to put a disguise on. I opened the door and welcomed Zim in.
"Hey Kim... Zim wants to ask you something... But not here... Can we go to the backyard?"
"Sure!"
I led him to the backyard and sat on the bench. Zim took off his disguise and sat next to me. His eyes flickered nervously accros the backyard.
"Hey Kim..."
"Yes Zim?"
Zim then inhaled deeply and looked me in the eyes. He gave me a rose.
"Do you want to be, as humans say, Zim's girlfriend?"
He bashfully looked at his feet. I smiled.
"Of course Zim! I've been waiting for you to finally get the courage to ask me!"
"Hey! Zim has courage!"
"You have as much courage as a puppy dog creature!"
"DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A PUPPY DOG!"
"Whatever..."
"Zim will show you puppy dog!"
He grabbed my boot and ran as fast as he could.
"HEY! I NEED THAT!"
I started chasing Zim. I grabbed his hand and pulled his glove off.
"NOOOO! I CAN'T BE AN INVADER WITH ONE GLOVE! I'LL LOOK LIKE THAT DEAD DANCER HUMANS WORSHIP!"
Zim tried to snatch his glove back but I held it over his head.
"Haha! You're too short!"
"No! I'm perfect invader size, and if you don't give me my glove I guess I'll have to throw you're shoe over the fence…"
I tackled Zim and pinned him to the ground. Zim struggled but finally gave up.
"You win Kim! Here's your shoe... Now GET OFF ME!"
I got off him and put my shoe on with a contented smile. I gave him his glove and stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes and mumbled something. Then I heard my cell phone ring. Zim screamed and hid beneath the bench.
"Lighten up Zim... It's just a cell phone..."
Zim looked up. I showed him the cell phone. He laughed anxiously.
"Yeah... So much for courage..."
"SILENCE!"
I answered my phone. It was Dib. He was wheezing while he spoke.
"Hey... Kim... I need... You to... Go... Upstairs... Now..."
"Okay... Why?"
"Just go!"
I went upstairs and saw Dib covered in oil and fuel. He was standing beside something with a blanket on it.
"Why are you filthy?"
"You'll see..."
Dib lifted the cover to reveal my ship.
"I reprogrammed it... Now we can go back to your planet... And discover why you were sent here..."
Can't you guys feel the excitement?
We are a few chapters away from figuring out why Kim was sent away!
But be warned...
The next chapters won't be as cheery...
WAFFLEZ! (^_^)#
