"Are you sure about vampire bees?"
"YOU ALL KNOW I EAT ALOT OF HONEY NOW-"
"Dib shut up!"
The two were occupied by their dear friend [Y/n], who wore an outfit similar to Gaz. Except her skirt was (f/c). They all headed for school. [Y/n] didn't need her backpack, well technically she had it but if she started randomly pulling things from her PAK Dib would freak out. The sky was a baby blue with very few clouds. Dib and [Y/n] chattered with each other mindlessly, discussing anything on their mind.
"I don't think bees would be out in the open if they were vampires, and how would they pollinate?"
"I don't know, ASK THE BEEEEEEEEES-" She laughs a bit, rolling her holographic (e/c) colored eyes at his dramatic paranoid behavior.
"I can believe Bigfoot but cmon." He huffs, adjusting his glasses a little annoyed. The trio of kids made it to school in no time as they talked. Some of the older kids hung out on the steps and yard, the younger ones filed in the Skool building.
Before [Y/n] could step in, she felt someone grab her wrist firmly. When she turned her head, she met Zim's fake purple plastic eyes.
"..what is it, Zim?" He opens his mouth to say something, but as soon as he did he realizes he didn't have any words to respond with. He stood there, trying to desperately figure out what to say as she stared at him, resisting to question his actions. If he wasn't stuttering out jumbled words trying to form some sort of sentence it would've have been more awkward than what it already was.
"I...uhh-" The bell rung, signaling the start of class. [Y/n]'s face rested into her usual blank expression as soon the bell went off.
"Come on, Bitters is probably the last person you'd want to be late for." She basically dragged him to class, Zim was confused on why his mind went blank. Like, he knew what he was going to say just a few moments ago. Was it one of those effects of that Love thing? Probably.
The two shuffled into the class, both secretly glad that Ms. Bitters didn't say they were late. Either that class just started or didn't start yet. Taking their seats, they waited for the teacher to start talking or something.
Soon, when Ms. Bitters does start talking, eventually [Y/n] let her mind wander for a little bit. She thought about Aro's advice on to think about her feelings every once in a while.
She guessed she felt fine, other than what happened yesterday. She wondered how Zim handled it by himself, although she didn't dwell on it for too long in case she started imagining things. Zim was definitely enticed[1] yesterday. The relationship she had with the invader was confusing.
Sometimes she felt like ripping his eyeballs out, other times she just wanted to cuddle up to him and watch badly written movies. If there's one thing she loved to do in her spare time to was mess with him. In any way, shape or form. His reactions were gold.
Most of the time, however, she didn't really feel at all. Unless she was around Zim. [Y/n] tapped her fingers gently on her desk rhythmically, she looked out the window as thoughts came and went.
Seconds turned to minutes and minutes turned to hours. This process of waiting for the lunch bell was tiring and required a lot of patience. Maybe she should start bringing her GS4 to Skool or something.
When the lunch bell does ring, instant relief from hearing Ms. Bitters rambles was like finally getting that AC after running out in the hot sun for hours. Students exited the room noisily as they starved for food, though there wasn't much to eat anyway. It was chicken and rice day.
Skipping the line, she sat with Gaz, she guessed she should probably give Zim some space to actually form sentences for next time. One of Gaz's eyes opened slightly to look up at the quiet Irken across from her.
"..Dib's getting suspicious you know. Saw you guys holding hands." One of her lekku's twitched, as [Y/n] sighs. Gaz only snickers before pushing a few more buttons. Physically and figuratively. "Lemme guess, that whole period thing is related to some weird event between you two yesterday?" A playful smirk plastered on her lips.
"What are you? Sherlock Holmes?"
"I'm almost surprised you know who that is."
"Oh please." She dug in her pocket for an Airhead, or some type of candy. "It's nothing. Besides, pretty sure I have to fix someone today."
"Someone?"
"I have a S.I.R Unit similar to Gir."
"I remember Gir,.. He's crazy." Now it was [Y/n]'s turn to laugh.
"You get used to it."

"OH, WAIT [Y/N] I ALMOST FORGOT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING-"
"Dib I really have to go-" Dib pulls out his laptop and opens a tab, he pulls out headphones seemingly out of know where and passed them her.
"Just-.. JUST listen to the transmission that I found yesterday!" She glances at him before grumbling and putting on the headphones. Dib grins as he presses play, what played was a bit unnerving. Two voices, one was quiet, the other was snarky and loud.
"WE ATTACK AT 12:30 SHARP! GAHAHHAHA-"
"Sir,-"
"HUSH NOW MAK! I can't wait to see their sickly green faces when their ship gets taken over! Aha, it will be the end of their empire for sure. That'll teach them to not blow up random planets without THINKING!" The voices snickers sinisterly, a hint of malicious intent. Whoever did this dude wrong is going to get it.
"I especially hate the Red one, we will definitely make him suffer."
"...Sir, if you don't mind, we have to check on the crew for the preparations of the canons."
"Of course- we need those."
The transmission cut out and Dib looks at her expectantly. She took of the headphones, sort of confused. The voices sounded almost familiar. Maybe she was getting a weird sense of de-Ja-vú? Whatever it was she shrugged it off. Not thinking much of it.
"Um,.. Definitely aliens."
"THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING! Who do you think they are?! Do you think they are gonna attack other alien species? Do you think we will be able to listen to fight?!-" Dib starts ranting of the many many possibilities and outcomes. [Y/n] only half-listened as she looked out the window. It was the afternoon, she was only hoping for a visit to the membranes but Gaz and Dib insisted on her staying.
[Y/n] was just wondering how Aro was doing.
"-12:30 at night or 12:30 at lunch? AND WHEN?"
"Dib, I think you shouldn't get in between a space fight, I mean, you don't even know where they are."
"CLOSE TO EARTH IM SUREEE-" he was probably right on that one, or else they wouldn't be able to pick the transmission up. She snorts before standing and brushing herself off.
"Yeah alright, listen, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Gotta get home and stuff." He adjusts his glasses and a small smile on his face. He was fairly cute whenever a calm smile reached him. One of the things [Y/n] liked about Dib.
"I'm staying up all night, I have to find out when they are attacking, and why." She rolls her eyes, she knows he's going to be sleep-deprived.
"Pff, sure. Make sure you don't get sent to the underground classroom tomorrow." She comments as she exits his room.
"Ha! You wish!" She chuckles as she waves goodbye to Gaz, who was on the couch playing.
"Bye Gaz."
"Seeya [Y/n]."
