Author's Note: This is going to be a ZADR fic, I know my last one was ZADF, but deep down I feel like I should try to write for ZADR. Since, I haven't done it before. Please be kind with the feedback and reviews, and please be sure to follow, read, and review as well.

Chapter 1: A Plan

Dib walked over to Zim, and sighed. He kept on thinking about something, and he kept on thinking about what he wanted to do, nothing could've prepared him for what he was about to do. He wanted to experiment on the alien, and he wanted to attack the Invader. The alien was just standing there, not doing anything.

The boy kept to himself, and he looked at Zim. "Zim? Can we talk?" He asked, "what do you want to talk to the amazing ZIM! About?" He asked. "Nothing, I just want to say. I'm sorry for always trying to attack you, I'd say we deserve a truce." The word slipped out of Dib's moth, and almost caused Zim to vomit.

He looked at Dib and sighed, "no way, Zim is doing a truce with you!" He said, "I would rather…die! Than be seen with you as friends." He looked at his robot, GIR was just standing there doing nothing. He kept to himself, and he watched the fight go on. He knew that the fight was going to last long.

It didn't take long for both boys to start fighting, and it didn't take long for both of them to start getting at each other's throats again. Anger filled the room as Dib noticed Zim was acting strange, it felt like both of them were getting at each other's throats.

Nothing felt the same, and nothing felt good. Dib looked at Zim and sighed, he wanted to reveal the alien's secret and he wanted to reveal everything. He knew that things would take a little bit longer if the two of them wanted to be friends.

Meanwhile, at the Membrane house. Gaz was playing her game slave, when her dad came in and noticed that Dib was not there. "Gaz! Where is your brother? We have to do some father, son, bonding with science, and it will be fun!" He said.

Gaz looked at her dad, she didn't know why he was talking to her, and she didn't know why he was trying to talk. She knew that her dad had a little bit of an obsession with trying to spend time with his son.

The Professor was just trying to get some well-needed time with his son. He knew that Dib needed time with him, and he knew that Dib wanted time, he wanted to spend time with his father, he just didn't show it as often.

Sometimes Dib would go into his dad's lab to see if he wanted to hang out, but Dib would always be turned down. His dad would say that there is top secret material, and it is not to be messed with.

This caused Dib to be stressed, and to worry about his family. He would always think to himself, what is dad hiding? Is there something I shouldn't see in there? He kept his thoughts to himself, and he made sure that everything was fine between him and his dad.

Gaz knew that Dib was depressed deep down, she knew he had mental health problems, and she knew he needed his dad. After the whole florpus incident, their relationship changed. Gaz has always been supportive of Dib, but she now shows it more, she makes sure he knows how much he is appreciated and how much he is loved.

She invites him places, and she always wants him with her, this is something that has never happened before. In the past if Gaz wanted to invite Dib. She would have to lecture him on how to stay out of her way, now she doesn't have to do that.

Now, she has to have Dib come with her, and she has to have Dib be with her. "Dib? Is everything okay?" She asked.

"I don't know, Gaz, I want to spend more time with Dad. But, I also want to be on my own…I don't want to make dad feel bad, and I don't want to ruin our relationship." He said.

"I know, maybe you spend today with dad? And explain to him how you feel."

Dib liked that idea, he knew he needed to spend time with his dad, and he knew he needed some time with him. He wanted to figure out how to have some time with his dad, and some time by himself.

Zim is pacing around his base, he has been for the past hour. Thinking about what the Tallests will say once they find out he failed this mission, this mission was supposed to be the mission that proved he was not defective. Now The Tallests are going to say he is defective, because he failed this mission.

Zim's antenna goes down a little bit, as he realizes this was his last chance to make his leaders proud. He looked for something to do, and he looked for something to use so he can make sure The Tallests know he is a good Irken and a good invader too. Something about this mission made Zim a little bit nervous.

GIR notices his master's frown and expression, he walks up to him and gives him a hug. This hug does nothing, and makes Zim feel bad. He feels worse now, and pushes GIR down. The only thing Zim can think of doing, is not going to work. He kept on pushing the idea out of his head, and he kept on not wanting to think about it, no! Not going to work! Not going to happen!

He gave in, and decided to call Dib. The phone rang for a few seconds, and then Zim heard a faint hello on the other end, it sounded like Dib was upset and tired. It sounded like he didn't know what to do with his life anymore.

"Dib? What's wrong?" Zim asked.

"Nothing, why did you call?"

"No reason. I need your help, The Tallests are going to see how I did during this mission, and if they find out I did terrible…I don't even want to think about it."

"Don't worry, what do you need from me?"

"I need you to come over."

"Ok."

"Soon."

"When?"

"In about, five minutes."

"I can do that. I don't know if I can stay for long, because my dad and I have plans."

"Oh. Ok."

"See you soon, Zim?"

"See you soon, Dib."

The Irken hung up the phone and looked around, he realized that this was his last chance to prove himself and this was his last chance to do anything. He wanted to make sure he had the chance to tell The Tallests about everything he has done good, and about everything he has done well. He didn't know how to explain it, but he knew he could make The Tallests think.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Dib at the front door, looking at Zim he noticed how heartbroken the alien was and how anxious he felt. He didn't know what to think, and what to do about things.

He kept to himself the entire time Dib was there, and he didn't say anything. Until Dib thought of something to say.

"After this meeting, we need to talk." He said, "I have to tell you a few things—Things that will change us for the better."

Zim was confused, he suddenly realized what Dib meant by changing us for the better. He froze and didn't say a word.

Oh, shit! Is he asking to be my…love mate? Zim realized. He wanted to be calm for the whole thing, but he couldn't stay calm. He didn't know how he felt about Dib being hs love monkey.

He wanted to freak out, but he didn't, and he wanted to panic. He wanted to do everything to get Dib from not telling him.

Dib decided it was time to tell Zim everything, time to tell Zim the truth about how he felt. He thought it was going to be traditional and cheesy, but in Zim's eyes. It wasn't. '

"How long have you had these feelings?" Zim asked.

"Oh, about a year now."

Zim was shocked. "A YEAR! HUMAN!?"

"Yes, I know. Too much time, to not say anything."

"You're right!"

"Sorry, I had to think of the right time."

"It's okay, Zim understands."

"I love you.."

"Love you too."

This was the start of a new love adventure, between an alien and a human.

A/N: How did you like the first chapter of that story? I know, longer than I expected. I hope you all enjoy this new fanfic series I thought up of. I came up with the idea, and I thought this would take place after the florupus. And it does, I decided to make it happen where Dib and his dad spend time together, that will be next chapter.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it. Please be sure to R , and leave constructive criticism and feedback as well. Thanks.
