Hi! I thought in this chapter I include a little Dib and Professor dialogue


"Will you help my dad in ending all this much sooner?" Gaz wondered. Still on the couch. At first in silence after eating pizza, but now this. "I'm sure you don't want any Irken casualties as much as I don't want human ones. So couldn't you at least give a hint to my dad."

Really he should of when he was there to give Dib the communicator, but he just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. "I know I should of when I was down there."

"Am I making you nervous? Or is it something more? I guess a whole empire and now a take over of a planet." Gaz ventured on.

Looking her in the eyes, he nodded. "Yes to all of it. I am still learning and that is why I don't mind asking questions to the ones I trust the most. The ones I find most capable."

Placing a hand on his, she smiled. "Honestly that is far better then going all willy nilly all over the place."

"I hope so. Red and Purple treated it like their own carnival. I remember what you told me about people who run carnivals. Especially the game stands."

She remembered that day. Them both at the carnival. He was so hesitant going there. He hated the smell there from the food, but all in all they had fun. He did win some nice prizes for her after proving how much they were being conned.

"I'm sure you will need some clothes, won't you?" He asked. Seeing her nod, he gently held her hand and blinked them back into her home.

Trying to pretend she didn't have the same disorientation as before, she headed upstairs to her room, all the while it felt like the inside of her head was warping in and out of reality. Hearing him close behind her, she was both annoyed and relieved he was there just in case she did fall backwards. She thought her family had enough to deal with as it was. Reaching her room, she quickly went to her closet to pull out a small piece of luggage and tossed it on the bed. Quickly grabbing what she thought she needed, she placed it in there, then went to the bathroom to grab a few more necessities to place in, and closed it. Zim watched all the while from the doorway. Scanning the room around her, she saw the items he won her, then brief darkness.

Zim looked at her as she buzzed quickly around her room gathering stuff for the luggage she placed on the bed. Making sure to get out of her way when she went past to the bathroom and then back, he just watched her cautiously until he saw her start to collapse. Moving quickly, he placed her in his arms then sat down on her bed with her on his lap. Putting her against him, he closed the luggage with one hand, placed it under his arm pit, and blinked back to his base onto his couch again. Placing the luggage on the floor, he laid her out on the couch with her head resting in his lap.


"Dad? First you couldn't tell me about me being a clone and now Gaz being half alien. You may be considered the worlds smartest man, but you are seriously lacking at times when it comes to us." Dib suddenly bursted out. He came back in after, Zim left determined to keep working in the midst of the new information he was given, but he couldn't concentrate any further.

Looking away from the telescope he had currently out to observe the Irken's movements, Professor Membrane considered his son. "Now now son, the reason why you are a clone of me is simply because your mother and I thought we wouldn't be able to have children of our own so we cloned you out of my DNA. We hoped for so much for you. Maybe more me so you can pursue science, but for so many years it was that hobby you loved so much."

"Okay you did give me that explanation before. Well not the part about mom and you because if she was Irken, then I guess I understand there, but why not tell me about, Gaz?"

"The way you chased after, Zim, would you really have accepted her as fully as your sister?" Membrane countered. "Think about it son. When I first saw him and knew what he was and how you were determined to expose him and dissect him, what would you do when you found out your sister was half alien?"

"I guess, uh, act in disbelieve like I did before and still do now."

"Exactly."

"But I would never harm my sister in that way." Dib argued. "We may fight, but I care for her."

"Well it seems he also cares for her too, so you both have that in common then." Turning back to his telescope he observed the spacecraft again, leaving Dib to just stand there and think.


Coming to, Gaz found herself in his lap with him passed out on his couch inside his base. He must of put them back here when she passed out. Looking at him from her angle, she smiled as she silently move to sit up. Still a tiny bit woozy, she leaned against him placing her head on his chest, curled up her legs, and put one hand on his stomach to close her eyes again. Feeling his arm encircle around her, she didn't stiffen up, she just relaxed more into him to fall asleep.

Zim did open one eye when he felt a movement against him. He smiled at this unexpectant sweetness of hers as he gently put his arm around her. It was equally just as nice when she fell asleep on him without threatening to doom him. Maybe she will be his mate after all. How can she deny his amazingness for long anyhow?

The answer: Never.
