The next thing Dib knew, he was in a light gray room with padded walls, ceiling, and floor, and he couldn't move his arms. "W-Whaaat?"
"You're in the Crazy House for Boys!" chirped an enthusiastic voice.
Dib's eyes widened. "Oh no…OH NO…"
Out of nowhere popped Keef, who was wearing a straightjacket similar to the one Dib was wearing. "Isn't this GREAT? We're both in here together! Now we can talk to each other!"
"Well, I – " Dib stopped short. "What am I doing? How did I get here, anyway?"
Keef grinned. "You were running around town screaming about the whole world telling everyone that you and Zim were a couple, and I got so happy to hear that you two found love against all odds, that I just EXPLODED with happiness!" He spun around once and fell on the floor. "But don't worry – I won't tell! Unless you want me to, 'cuz I can!"
"What? No, I never said I was with Zim! I don't even like him! It's those people on the Internet who think I do! Not me!"
"But you would reeeaaally like Zim if you got to know him!"
"NEVER!"
"Zim says that, too!"
Dib curled up into a ball in the farthest corner of the room.
"Yay! I'm so happy!"
Dib closed his eyes and waited for the other boy to spontaneously combust.
KABOOOOOM!
The insane, amber-eyed boy felt the room spin, and when he came to, he was…somewhere else.
"Hey, I know this place." Dib instantly recognized his surroundings as that realm of the Shadow Hog. He wasn't pleased to be there, but it was slightly better than his former setting.
In the middle of the room was the Shadow Hog, apparently having tea with Gaz. "And then Keef exploded…" the female prattled on before catching sight of her brother. "What do you want?"
"Gaz? What are you doing here? Is the pig-mouth back?" Dib asked.
"We hang out every Tuesday to swap video game strategies."
"But it's Sunday!"
"Eh…" She shrugged.
"So," replied the Shadow Hog, "have you come to receive the Gift? Or do you seek to bring your sibling home?"
"Actually, I – " He clapped his hands over his mouth and threw himself backwards to the ground. "NO! I can't keep telling people about those Internet rumors! They think I want Zim… EVERYONE thinks I want to be his…uh, boyfriend? Wait, how would that work?" Dib sat up and paused to think. "Well, he's a guy, so I guess he would be my boyfriend."
"I see," the Shadow Hog replied to Gaz. "He HAS gone insane."
"Yeah, he's obsessed with Zim," Gaz agreed. "And for all I care, Zim can have him. Then they can be stupid together."
"I just want to know why people are writing those stories!" Dib screamed. "I don't want to date him, or marry him, if that's even possible… I DON'T LIKE ZIM!"
"You certainly deny your feelings for him," the Shadow Hog commented.
Dib sighed woefully. "I give up. I'm going home."
End of part seven
Don't worry, that's not the end…I'll end it at, like, chapter 10. Stay tuned.
