Dib and Zim curl up on Dib's bed, wrapped in a blue blanket.
"You ready?" Dib asks, turning off the lamp on his nightstand. Zim nods.
"Yes. Zim is ready for the moovie." The Irken replies, sounding confident. Dib chuckles.
"You sure? It's pretty horrific." Zim scoffs.
"The mighty Zim fears nothing!" He yells, raising his fist in the air for dramatic effect. Dib rolls his eyes.
"Whatever you say," He says skeptically, pressing play.
********************************
Thirty minutes into the movie...
"Oh my Tallests!" Zim yelps, nearly smacking Dib in the face by accident. "She just ripped him open!"
"Yeah, I told you-"
"GREAT IRK!" Zim shouts, cutting the human off. "SHE'S EATING HIM!!!!" Dib shakes his head. They continue to watch until a scene where the cannibal girl breaks open the door of her best friend's bedroom. Suddenly, Zim clings to Dib, trembling with fear. Dib pauses the movie and pulls the Irken close.
"I'm sorry," He whispers, planting a gentle kiss on the alien's forehead. "I should've known that this would be too scary for you." Dib could feel something soaking through his t-shirt. Zim was crying. Dib tilted his chin up and looked into his eyes. "Hey. Hey, hey. I'm sorry. C'mere." He closes his eyes and leans down to kiss the Irken. Zim melts in Dib's arms, the fear washing away. As they kiss, Dib turns off the TV, leaving them in his dark, moonlit bedroom.
