Dib was sitting in the Irken ship in his garage; he was so close to fixing it... again... that he could taste it. Oh no, he sounded like Zim. That's all he needed. As if this whole musical thing wasn't enough. How did Zim even manage that? No one can turn the galaxy into a musical!
He had tried to explain to the Swollen Eyeballs the situation, but they didn't seem to care, as usual. From the looks of things, everyone had been subconsciously tricked into believing that breaking into song was part of their normal reality. How was that even possible? Stupid alien monster, as soon as this was over, there would be no mercy. He was distracted from his work by the sound of his front door slamming. He peeked inside to see Gaz throwing herself on the sofa, looking flustered and... smiling?
"Where've you been?" he asked, cautiously.
She shrugged and tried to cover her face by shoving her game in front of it, "I went to see if Zim had ordered the spare part yet."
"It's not safe with him Gaz, he's dangerous. So... what did he say?"
"A few days tops."
She was blushing, this was so unlike her, "What happened around there Gaz?"
She looked up at the sound of his harsher tone, "Nothing, what do you care anyway?"
"You're my sister, that's what, now what happened?"
Instantly, she knew that he wasn't going to leave it there. She sighed, embarrassed, but telling him the truth was better than saying nothing and letting him think the worse. He would only blow things out of proportion and with the songs flying every which way, it was more hassle then it was worth. So, she told him to sit down and not to get angry, and she told him everything, starting the story a month in the past.
Half an hour later, Dib had broken the lock on Zims front door, hacked into the elevator to get into the base, and had pinned Zim to the wall using his elbow. Dib was shouting and for once, Zim just stood there and took it. Loud music started to pump through them. Zim glared at Dib and gasped for air.
World War 3 - Jonas Brothers (listen to the song before you kill me for using one of theirs!)
Zim:
Here you storm into my base and, you are visibly angry,
telling me I hurt your sister, but I did no such thing!
You start yelling, and accusing me!
Now you are out for blood!
I didn't want no confrontation,
but cuz of you that's what Zims got!
Well you gotta shut up cuz Dib it's not for us to fight over,
and every battle we fought just made us look like fools!
Zim kicked Dib in the stomach, knocking the air out of him, and pushed him away. Dib collapsed to the floor, clutching his stomach as Zim jumped to the side and looked down at Dib, almost with sympathy.
No you can't have a world war three,
when it's her caught in between,
yes that right, I care, about her now just like you do!
Dib: (getting to his feet):
No it's just some attack! You are trying to get me back!
It's a trick, you can't have a thing for my sister!
A world war three?
The two stared as one another, Dib in rage, Zim in reluctant pity. Dib threw his arms in the air and continued:
A world war three?
Let me tell ya!
Now you suddenly think,
that you can feel like us?
Talking 'care' and 'love' and 'happy'?
Zim:
Dib I won't retaliate!
Dib:
No there's no world war three,
cuz you're gonna leave her alone,
oh why, did you, have to pick her? She' my little sis!
It doesn't hurt me to drive you back, and you know, that I, won't give up now!
Why pick her?
Zim:
Well first shut up, I don't know why this all happened now,
We just talked or sang and something clicked inside!
So forget our war right now, why not ask her what she wants?
And you know, I'm right, and you can't stand it!
Dib:
You're sure it's no attack? Because I will get you back,
How dare, you try, make her keep it from me!
I'll hunt you down!
Not gonna be a romance!
Zim:
Now I know that you're upset, and it gives me great pleasure,
but no, it won't, change a little thing,
I like her!
Dib:
Well lets ask her!
Both:
It's a deal!
The two glared at each other before Dib chose his moment to leave. He didn't trust himself to be in the same room as this alien scum for much longer, he just might kill him. How could this happen? Gaz was a game obsessive, passive aggressive and yet laid back person who didn't care about anyone! Zim was a sadistic, psychopathic alien who wanted to take over the world and was a complete moron! In his eyes, the two were not compatible! His arch nemesis and his little sister! It was sick and wrong and... AGH! Dib turned away and was about to step into the elevator when Zim called out to him.
"Dib-filth!" Dib didn't turn around, he just paused, "For the record, this isn't to get to you, as was my first intention, and if I could have chosen another human female to feel this way for, I wouldn't."
Dib felt bile rise at the back of his throat, "Hurt my sister, and you won't have to worry about choosing anyone else, or being exposed, because I will kill you."
Zim watched as Dib left through the elevator. He was surprised by his own actions, any other time and he would beat the human to a pulp or capture him for some experiment, throw a threat at least, but he just took it. Why? This whole Earth relationship thing was getting too him, but, he kind of liked it.
But that little warm feeling in the pit of his organs was quickly extinguished by the sounds of his computer monitor crackling. He turned around and saw two, rather irritated faces staring down at him. In a panic, he saluted and straightened his back.
"My Tallest!"
