Truce? ( Dib X Zim ) [ Invader Zim ] ( bxb )

Chapter 10 - The Talk of The Skool

- Wednesday, September 13th, 2006, Cloudy, 7:15 am.

The next day, the boys had skipped class to spend time with their sons to study what things they've inherited. Meanwhile, they had given quite a conversation topic to the school. Students, especially from Dib and Zim's history class, were talking about how they were both together.

"Wow, I didn't think they would go that far," Gretchen said, "They're sons are kinda adorable though..."

One boy shrugged, "I mean, I knew Dib was lonely but sheesh..."

"What do you mean?"

"He literally hated Zim for the past 4 or more years now..." He grabbed his books, closed his locker, and locked it, "I don't know why he started going after him now. Probably thought he had nobody else since he was so crazy..."

Gretchen was a little meh on the comment. She just hugged her favorite binder.

"I mean... should someone ask them about this?..."

The boy shrugged again and left for his class. Around lunch time, there was a similar debate going on. Some students believed that Dib and Zim always had a thing, while others thought that Dib finally gave up and went for the first person he saw. Regardless, the boys were gonna call them gay in an insulting fashion, the girls were going to be all over the gossip, and that everyone was gonna have a fun ol' time with this news. News was very slow at the school, so this was like fresh cake out of the oven. Some even posted online about it.

- 2:30 pm.

Zim was currently on his computer in his lab, just simply looking up stuff about the Earth. He typed in random things in the search engine he was using and just seeing what would pop up, for better or for worse. He then found a page that was an advertisement for a school. It was called Ameri Junior College. He clicked on it and squinted, looking at the text. He then pulled up a U.S map in another window, since the school was named after the rather odd, yet large territory.

"Ameri?..." Zim questioned, "This location isn't on standard maps, yet the territory is huge... How?..."

He eventually went down a rabbit hole of information, finding out quite a lot of things that Dib may find interesting. He then thought about the Tallest and smirked to himself.

"Perhaps this 'Ameri' place will be quite useful..." Zim said to himself, "A new home, a new start, a perfect way to distance myself from the Tallest even further. There's other intelligent life in this neighborhood!"

While Dib was on the couch, watching TV with the boys in his arms, Zim walked in with two luggages in his hands. He dropped them on the ground with a thud. Dib woke up a little from his half sleep and looked at Zim.

"Dib, I have very good news," Zim started, "We're moving!"

"YAAAY! WE'RE MOVIIIING!" Gir cheered, "....Why?"

"Wait, what?" Dib asked, "but how? Where?"

"So, remember that place I took you a few years ago when we skipped school?" Zim asked, "The place we went for our Valentine's Day date? Well, it seems like I've found a new territory. An unmapped one... It was apparently done on purpose. I'll get into that on the way over there, but we had reached the very end of it.

Dib sat up and the boys looked at Zim.

"So we're moving there?" Dib asked, "Where did you get the money for that??"

"We're not living in that exact area, but we will be living in the heart of it," Zim said, "As for paying for it, I've used the rest of my money to rent an apartment for us. We're going to the heart of this Ameri place in northern New York. The apartment is near that lake that borders Toronto. So, pack your things."

Dib's heart was racing. He looked side to side, watching Zim and Gir pack up what was in the living room. Zim turned off the TV.

"Zim, what about Gaz?" Dib asked.

"She can come along as well," Zim said, "I'm sure your dad won't mind. Besides, there's other forms of intelligent life there, so the kids will blend in just fine."

"I-I... Z-Zim-"
