   While things were going a bit haywire in your life, you finally did manage to make a female
acquaintance. Ms. Bitters had initiated a 2 partner project to work on a worksheet for the remainder of class. At first you sided with Dib but that wasn't until you saw some kids walk past a girl and sneer at her in disgust. "Dib you don't mind riding this one alone do you?" You asked as he gave a bit of a puzzled look until he saw what you were doing. You walked over to Gretchen with a smile and books and papers in your hands.

"I'll be your partner Gretchen." She looked surprised yet very excited someone had chosen her to be her partner. And throughout the whole class the two of you worked laughing and taking. She was a bit shy as usually many people made fun of her braces instead of having an actual conversation but you tried to keep things very light and happy for her. "I kinda want to talk to her but I don't think she'll really like that." She said looking one other girl in the class. "Oh Gretchen I bet if you talk to her the same way you are with me you and her will get along just fine hun."

  Over the next few weeks, you had saw Gretchen hanging out with a few other girls her age smiling and laughing. You had felt very proud of Gretchen that's for sure. "I don't know how you do it Y/N, maybe you have powers or something." Dib said as you started packing up for the end of the day. "Yes Dib. Simply being nice is a super power. Maybe if I say it like that people around here might actually think that." You said laughing a bit. "With our class they'll believe anything." Dib said dryly. "Yeah.." He looked a little grumpy at the moment and you came up with an idea to lighten up the mood.

(Okay but real talk literally all official Merchandise for Dib has him looking like he's about to stab a binch like I can't.)

  "Hey, how about we walk to the diner? My mom's working the shift there." You offered. "Yeah sure, I could use a milkshake." He said as you walked along.

  "Look, all I'm saying is that there are real vampire bats look!! See! It all adds up!!" As you took a sip of your milkshake you rose your eyebrow. "Dib Vampire Bats are real things. And they suck blood exactly as you said." Dib put down his fry and addressed you with his finger giving his signature 'I told ya so,' Look.
"Yes, but have you ever heard of vampire bats that turn you into a hideous monster? I don't think so!" You finally put your milkshake down, smiling to yourself on Dib's determination and confidence on the matter. He was always so sure of himself while on the other hand you weren't, and with all the hate he was getting he never truly backed down. It was something remarkable. "Hey um. I know this is really sudden and all, but how-,"

"How are you kids doing?" Asked the waitress as she cleaned your remaining dishes. "We're great Ms. Kate thank you." Kate had been a long time friend and supporting figure in your mother's life when your father had been out to fight. She'd babysit you when you were younger, all that good stuff. "How many times do I have to tell you you can just call me Kate Sweetpea!" She said ruffling your hair. "This your friend? And your name is...?" Dib looked a little awkward as he wasn't used to people talking to him but he managed to stay polite. "Dib Ma'am." He said putting a hand out for a handshake. Kate chuckled and shook his hand.

  "What a fine young man you are!" She said smiling. Before she left, she leaned in close and said something. "You two are getting married right hun? He'd make a fine husband for sure!" Your face immediately blushed as you turned to her "No-wait-K-kate it's not like that!" You said stuttering as she giggled and left to the back corner. You put your face in your hands and sighed. "Dib I'm so sorry they can be really uncomfortable at times." You couldn't quite see it clearly because of the lighting, but Dib's cheeks were tinted pink as well. "No, it's-It's fine I don't really care." He did care though even though he led on like he didn't. Sometimes he thought about that every once in awhile outside of the countless paranormal investigation thoughts spinning in his head. You were just incredibly kind, pretty, and very smart for your own age, it was hard not to think about it. But he carried out the conversation as if nothing ever happened.
