What If They Meet Differently?

Chapter 11: Calm Down and Reflection

Dib stood there and once he couldn't hear the clanking of metal on metal, he left and went to his room. Gaz was leaving her room and noticed the dark look on Dib's face. She was silent as he walked in and sat on the ground, leaning on the ground. He removed his eyes, as tears ran down his cheek. He felt so much anger but honestly, could only feel sadness at having what he thought of as his only friend betraying him. He sat there crying until there was a knock on the door. "What are you crying about in there big head?" Normally if Gaz asked why Dib was crying he'd give a nothing or I'm fine. This time he didn't care. "None of your business" Now Dib almost never shows sass to his sister, it grabbed her attention. Though she didn't back down, knowing her brother kept to himself and that this would eat away at him "Come on Dib open the door" "Leave me alone Gaz" Gaz smirked as she crossed her arms and said "Aww what's wrong? Did Zim no-" though before she could finish she heard Dib scream "Don't say his fucking name Gaz!!" This made Gaz fully open her eyes and stay silent. Dib had NEVER cursed at her or their father. She even accidentally destroyed a picture of bigfoot and he didn't get this mad. This was serious, and Gaz wasn't letting go. She grabbed the handle noticing the door wasn't locked. She braced the door knowing he was leaning on it. She counted to three in her head, then shoved open the door with all her might, knocking him over. Dib sat up quick and glared at her, as tears were still going down his face "Gaz did you not hear me!! I don't want to talk to you idiot!!" Gaz stood there seeing how torn her brother was. Not even there-fathers absence hurt him like this. "Dib... we need to talk... the hell happened between you and Zim that has you cry and so... mad" Dib glared at her and sighed looking down "...I ... I found out why Zim was sent here. He was never coming in peace. He was sent here to take the earth. He used us and for what, to just enslave us?!" Gaz was only a little surprised. She had guest Zim was up to no good but it seemed like he... sucked at doing so. "Where is Zim?" "He left.... I told him never to come back" Gaz crossed her arms tilting her head "To leave? No violence just told him to get out..." Dib gripped his knees as the jeans stretched tight to his grip. Gaz thought for a moment, she had to say the right words at this moment "...Do you think he would have done it?" Dibs head flicked up and meet his sister's eyes "What? What do you mean?" Gaz slowly sat next to him. "In all this time knowing Zim, do you think he would have done that?" Dib glared in confusion "It's what he was sent here to do" Gaz chuckled "Same with a dad wanting to send you to college to learn real science. You're not gonna do that though are you?" Dib shrugged looking away, She had a point there. "Besides after everything he did for you I don't think he'd hurt you. He helped you with that bully, and every night you two pretend to fight together. You two are so gay for each other honestly" Dib glared at his sister, as he began blushing "W-We are not!! I just... sigh, you have a point. He never did show me any harm... even taught me about his culture" Dib zoned out as he remembered there talk, there first time training together. How Zim talked about earth, and that you can do whatever you want, and thinking of the call with how his tallest talked of him. "Mmm... I guess... he was just doing what a bully told him to do..." Dib frowned as he looked down "Damn it... I have to go say sorry don't I?" Gaz got up as she walked to the door "If you want to be friends again yeah, you'll need to talk." Dib sat in thought, though as he sat he listened to the rain until he realized something. He suddenly got up fast and grabbed a coat and ran down the stairs as he panicked "I made him leave during the rain!! What an idiot!!" He ran into the basement to find Gir. Once turning Gir on, before Gir could speak Dib says "can you help me find Zim?!" Gir was silent then gave a salute his eyes turning red shouting "Yes sir!" before his eyes went back to blue with his tongue sticking out.
