The trip to Irken home world would take Zim a month to three months to get there. So Dib and Zim had a lot of time together in the tiny spaceship.
"So how long will it take us?" Dib asked.
"Three months to a month that's how long it took me to make it to earth." Zim explained.
"Three months! Zim! What am I supposed to do if I have to go to the bathroom?" Dib blushed.
"Zim has a toilet." Zim explained and Zim looks for it finds it.
"Uh... how exactly do I use this?" Dib asked confused.
Zim crawls over a bunch of stuff to get to him, "That's the garage chute..." Zim tells him smiling.
"Okay..." Dib blushed.
"This is the toilet." Zim points to a weird tube.
"Uh...." Dib goes pale as he stares at it.
"You put it into your mouth and it cleans out your stomach." Zim explains.
"Uh... that won't work for me." Dib crossed his arms, "How does that even work for you?" Dib felt confused.
"Helps Zim get out anything that's not digesting properly out of his system." Zim explained.
"Uh... please tell me you know how humans go to the bathroom. I don't want to explain that." Dib blushed.
"Zim knows! Waste comes from the humans disgusting bottom." Zim explains.
"Yeah. I can't use this." Dib explained.
"I rarely use it. As Irkens digests everything and gets absorbed completely by our bodies. You can stick this up your bottom and it'll clean you out." Zim explains.
"Absolutely not!" Dib turned blood red.
"It's either that you try your luck with the dangerous garage chute." Zim tells him.
"I'll... take my luck with the garage chute." Dib blushed.
"Don't be stupid. It be very easy to fall in it or kill yourself through the lack of oxygen from space or it's coldness." Zim complained.
"Than can't you make it safer?" Dib asked blushing.
Zim sighed and thinks for a second as he searches around the space ship shifting things around and gets to work, "The things Zim does for you! Zim wants a thank you after he's done." Zim makes the garage chute much safer for Dib to use for his bathroom issues.
"There." Zim looks at him frowning.
"Thanks." Dib sighed in relief.
"Zim made sure to pack extra food this time and Zim has Gir magnetically strapped to his seat so he doesn't press buttons or accidentally dump our food like last time." Zim explained.
"Thanks. Where can I sleep?" Dib asked.
"Zim usually sleep in the chairs. Is that alright?" Zim asked him softly.
"Yeah it's fine.. but there's only one chair since Gir has the other." Dib explained.
"You slept with me just fine on the couch. You should sleep just fine in the chair too." Zim tells him and Dib blushed nodded.
They listen to Gir singing, they talk about their planets and their culture, and Dib asks Zim about the different planets they past and tries to make and make out the constellations.
Eventually they get into the same chair and cuddle together only to fall asleep. Dib this time had the disturbing dream.
The sky is blood red and he's in a place that's not familiar to him. His running with Zim as they trapped in some sort of city like maze with large unscalable metal walls. Something is following them and hunting them down. Dib can't keep up. He's out of shape and not as young as he's used to. Zim sees this flings Dib through a door that slams shut.
