Hopefully, You'll Come Back

After Zim leaves without telling Dib, Dib feels that his friendship with Zim meant nothing to him. However, many years later, he sees someone that he wants to reconcile one last time.

Facts- Dib was fifteen when Zim left, Zim took Gir and Minimoose, Zim grew throughout the years, and Gaz actually feels sorry for her brother. 

Warning- Character death and talk about cancer. Don't like, don't read.

Dib POV

I watched from the sky as I see shooting stars falling.

I closed my eyes and remembered the memory of my Mom when she took me to this same spot.

'Flashback'

"If you ever see one, you should make a wish," Mom said, smiling as five-year-old me was excited with stars.

"Will it come true, Mommy?" I asked, curious.

She nodded and pulls me in before tickling me.'

'End of Flashback'

I smiled at that memory before sighing.

'Mom, I know that wishes can be sometimes foolish, but right now, I wish that Zim would come back,' I thought sadly.

Out of all the times that Zim and I hung out, this was the spot that we're always together. 

I thought that we were doing just fine! In fact, I was starting to develop feelings for the guy.

However, he left. Not calling or texting me about his departure. 

The only thing that I got was a letter saying that he's sorry for leaving me.

He didn't write why, but I was too mad to read the rest and just leave it alone.

I felt tears threatening to fall, but I wouldn't that happen. 

For all I know, it could be that he needed to do something, go on a journey for a missing object, or praising over the fact that I was the fool. 

Maybe, maybe not, but all I could do was wait for him.

"See you soon, Zim," I mumbled before leaving my favorite spot.

Time skip, twenty years later

Gaz POV

"What?!" I exclaimed, furious at what the doctor said.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing to do. Your brother is dying from stage three cancer, and unfortunately, the tumors had grown bigger than expected. Chemotherapy won't work this time," He said before walking away.

I just stood there, for the first time, afraid of losing my only family member.

Dad wasn't that much around anymore, but I didn't care. 

Dib was barely in his thirty's for crying out loud!

I walked out of the doctor's office and walked over to Dib, who was sitting in the waiting room.

"Well?" He asked, knowing that I wouldn't be telling the good news.

"I'm sorry, Dib, but... you have cancer. A-And there's no way to fix it," I said, hugging him tightly.

Dib didn't say anything but hugged me back, knowing that I was going to be alone without him.

"H-Heh, it's funny; I always thought that I would die first because of all that junk food I've been eating," I jokingly said but felt no joy out of it.
