I'm looking at myself in the mirror. Analyzing everything I can to see if any other change has happened since the vampire bee bit me.
Haven't noticed anything different. The only complaint I have is that I got these two, itchy, spots on my head. That probably has nothing to do with the vampire bee tho. Just as I thought about that, I see two little black things poking out of my head (from the previously itchy spots)
Huh? What are these?
I poke one of them and just as I do I hear a poke. ?
Out of nowhere, the two black things stretch out of my head. I run quickly look at myself in the mirror to see...
WHAAT?!?! Now I have antennae!?!?!

🚺"Hey Dib! It's time to eat!"

Huh? I heard Gaz horribly clear. The antennae twitched. Can I hear from them now?!?! I grab one and bend it down to my mouth

🔷"Hello?"

OMG I CAN HEAR FROM THEM!!! I can hear everything 10 times better now!!!! So this is one of the symptoms? I have to write it down!

🚺"Dib! If you're not down here in the next 2 seconds I'll kill you!"

Oh crap. I quickly run downstairs.

🔷"Gaz! Check it out! I have antennae!"

🚺"..."
🚺"Those? They look like two messy hairs"

What. I didn't thought of it that way...

🔷"But they're antennae!"

🚺"K whatever. Now eat"

I sit down with her and grab my plate and start to eat.
Now I have antennae! 2 additional ears! And they're kinda rubbery. To prove that, I grab one and bend it to my mouth again, then let it go and it springs back up. Can I move them? I try to make them at least twitch without touching them but I can't.

🚺"What are you doing?"

🔷"Maybe I can move them"

Ugh.. not even an inch. I've seen Zim's antennae twitching and moving up and moving down and- Wait. Zim! He has antennae! He can maybe teach me something about them.

🚺"..."
🚺"Why do you look so excited all of a sudden? You're really weird today. More than usual"

🔷"I could ask Zim about antennae! Right?"

I ask with a big smile. She looks kinda odd about what I just said.

🚺"Meh. It would be funny to see you get rejected. But don't come crying back home"

🔷"?"
🔷"But... didn't you say you think he likes me? Not that I care!!"

🚺"It's Zim. You know how he is. Do you really think he'll help you just like that?"

She's right... He is a proud moron. But what could I do?

🔷"So.. I'm going anyway..."

Before leaving the house I grab a jar of honey from the honey jar-filled pantry.

I'm here. Looking at the laser gnomes on his garden. Uh.. how am I gonna get there safely? I eat some honey. I take a step on the yard and suddenly, I can hear very clearly the second the gnomes are activated, giving me an advantage to dodge them. These new hearing skills are more useful than I though! Finally, I'm at the door so the gnomes go back to normal.
Woo! They didn't even hit me! I knock on the door. It's opened by Zim's lil robot.

🔘"Hiiii!"

🔷"Hi! Is Zim home?"

🔘"Yes! Why you so happy?"
