ZaDR Oneshots (Invader Zim)

Without You Pt2 (End)

"It was my eighteenth birthday. My Zim was up to something. I just knew it. Even though he's been trying to get a truce with me and telling me that he doesn't want to destroy earth anymore. I just couldn't accept it. I don't know. I didn't want to admit that he had changed." Fancy Dib sighed.

"Dim feels like this is familiar to him." Dim frowned.

"I chased him into the forest and fought him. He pulled out his laser and tried to shoot me, but I got away in time and hit a bridge. The same bridge that my family was crossing to come home..." Famcy Dib sighed.

"No no. Dim already knows this story!" Dim shivered covering his head shaking trying not to cry, "It's Zim's fault. Zim meant to use his pack legs... but fighting got intense... pack pulled out the laser... Zim couldn't stop it." Dim cried.

"Ah... I see..." Fancy Dib looks Dim sadly, "Did your laser kill your Dib?" He asked.

"Not instantly. It made his arm come off. We ran to save his family. Dib dove into the water trying desperately to save them hoping they weren't dead yet and he could save them. Zim started draining the water to help. Zim saved Gaz thing and lab man... but... Dib... either drowned or too much leaked out. Zim doesn't know. Zim tried saving him, but he..." Dim starts crying.

"I didn't even bother diving in... there was a drought that day and there wasn't water to cushion the fall. They died instantly when the car crashed into the ground. Neither of us made it to them in time." Fancy Dib sighed.

"So does that mean there's one universe where we save them and Zim saves you? Do you think we friends in that universe?" Dim asked wiping his tears.

"I mean. If you tried saving my life and helping save my family. Yeah. I think I would of recalled how many times we helped each other in the past and sighed as I just had to accept that you had the ability to change. Maybe I'd even thank you." Fancy Dib smiled.

Dim takes off his glasses and hands them to Fancy Dib, "I made these for your eighteenth birthday." Dim tells him.

Fancy Dib looks at the glasses in surprise and awe and smiled as he hands them back, "I can't accept this. I still have my Zim around. I'll accept his gift when I see him. And I want to apologize to him for destroying the universe trying to kill his family too out of anger." Fancy Dib sighed.

Dim puts the glasses back on even though he doesn't need them, "Zim... will probably forgive Dib. Zim isn't sure..." he thinks about it, "Zim probably watching over Dib just doing his own thing. But Zim isn't sure what he'd do. Maybe Zim just help those he feels connected to achieve their goals and dreams." Dim explained calmly.

"Hmm... you think so? I was sure he's searching for a way to destroy me like always." Fancy Dib explained.

"Zim... feel guilt about what happened. Especially because... Zim was going to make that day special for Dib." Dim sighed.

"I see. But I must say. I love what you made for me." Fancy Dib smiled.

"It can record things. And help Dib see things his stupid human eyes can't pick up." Dim takes off his glasses softly playing with them, "Do you know what it means for an Irken to give someone a gift like this?" Dim asked.

"Huh? It means something?" Fancy Dib looks confused.

"Zim has been thinking about his life a lot... Zim knew back than his mission is fake. That tallest hate him and that Zim is alone... Zim wanted to make earth Zim's home." Dim explained.

"I didn't know." Fancy Dib looks sad.

"Irken... don't have friends... but we have life partners though it's rare.." Dim blushed softly.
