"Whenever you're ready, kid." A man with shaggy blonde hair helped Dib adjust the goggles over his eyes. The lanky teen nodded, taking a deep breath.
"Okay," Dib said finally. "I'm ready."
"Rad." The blonde man grinned. He helped Dib into the water. "Don't venture too far out." Dib chuckled awkwardly.
"Don't worry. I don't plan on it." He submerged his body into the water and began swimming. He soon got carried away, venturing to a colorful area a few minutes out from where he started. As he admired the scenery, a pink shimmery object zipped past him. He jumped back in surprise. What was that? He thought to himself. He followed. Inside a dark cave-like hole, pinkish eyes peered. Dib looked at the creature, his hazel eyes gentle as if saying "I won't hurt you." The creature nodded and followed as Dib broke the surface, gasping.
"W-What are you?" Dib asked. The creature swished its flowy pink tail.
"Merken. I am Zim." The creature replied. Dib smiled. The moment quickly faded when the human looked around.
"Shit, I'm lost." He muttered. The merken blinked.
"Lost?" Dib nodded. "Come." He took Dib's hand and took him back to the boat. Dib blushed.
"T-Thank you-" He smiled warmly. The merken smiled and kissed him then swam off. Dib blinked, his heart fluttering.
