Chapter two- The Couple's Intimacy.

Zim took two steps towards Gaz, and kissed her full fledged on the mouth. He wanted nothing more than to push her away, but he knew that Dib was watching in open-mouthed shock. And this was too good an opportunity to pass up for torturing the Dib-stink.

Zim could feel the Gaz-human tense at his reaction, but she kissed back. Suddenly, she roughly grabbed the front of his Irken uniform and squeezed the skin underneath it with her hands. But Zim knew that she was only hurting him like that because he had kissed her without her permission.

She then pushed him away roughly and turned back to her idiot brother. "I don't lie, and if you so much as think I do, I will plunge you into a nightmare world from which there is no awakening!"

When the bus came and we got on, Zim pulled Gaz into the seat his amazing butt was sitting on. Dib was sitting with the Tak.

Zim closed his eyes and tried to picture what his future with Tak would be like. Surely, it'd have to be amazing. He could almost feel Dib's disappointment when he was sad and lonely and alone.

Gaz-human socked him really hard in the shin, pulling him out of his daydream. He winced in pain.

Zim glared at the infernal creature. "Yes?"

"Don't. Ever. Make. Me. Kiss. You. Again," she warned him slowly. "I. Will. Kill. You. If. You. Do."

Zim nodded, knowing full well that she meant exactly what she said, and much more pain to follow.

They rode the rest of the ride in silence. All Zim could hear was the sound of Tak and Dib laughing together. All other noises were distant and sickening.

When they got to Skool, Zim ditched Gaz at her classroom, and he ran as fast as he could to his own homeroom.

Tak was already sitting there, Dib beside her. Zim growled deeply under his breathe. He mentally kicked himself. He should have gotten there faster.

He walked up to Tak the moment class ended. "Did you hear that the magnificent Zim has a girlfriend?" Zim bragged, hoping for a rise of jealousy.

Tak just stood up calmly and pushed him out of the out her way.

Dib came over and smirked at him. "She's not really into you, Zim. Get over it."

He turned and walked after her. Zim felt his heart sink when their hands clasped.

At lunch, Zim grabbed the bothersome Dib's sister, the skool-wide feared Gaz. "Sit," he commanded her, pulling her down beside him.

She punched his shoulder. "Don't ever act like you're the boss of me again, or I'll kill you," she warned coldly.

Gaz pulled her Gameslave2 out and began playing it, letting the continuous beeps and whirrs drown out all other noise.

Tak walked by minutes later, Dib at her side. Zim was immediately jealous. "You having fun, Gaz. You are in the magnificent Zim's company! Laugh."

"No," was all that came.

Zim got angry at her. "You're acting like it's a bad thing to be around an incredibly amazing genius such as myself."

Gaz feigned a gasp. "I'm acting?" She retorted sarcastically.

"Dib-Sister, I'm paying you in Bloaties' pizza for your help. You must obey me."

Gaz eyes snapped her eyes open at that. She grabbed him by the throat. "Hear me now, Zim. I obey no one. I make my own rules."

Zim eyes started to tear up. "Yes. Zim has it."

Tak walked up to him. "Oh yes, she's a real fan of your's. I can see why you guys 'fell in love'. It's more likely you hypnotized her."

Gaz clenched her fists so tightly they were bright white. "Nobody hypnotizes me. EVER."

"Then how could you like someone that stupid?" inquired the Irken female.

The last of Gaz's control snapped. "I'll make you choke on those words," she growled out, only adding more fire to the rumors that she was part demon.

A snapped Gaz was not a good enemy to have. And Tak would learn that the hard way.
