Dib whistled as he walked down the street, his backpack slung over his shoulder. It had been a few days since he had learned why Zim was so upset, but he thought things were improving. He had been making frequent visits to Zim, and it seemed he was getting better, and less depressed. Dib walked up the path to Zim's house and went inside, he found Zim in the kitchen cleaning up around the place a bit.
"It's good to see you up instead of on that couch." Dib smiled and dropped his backpack in the corner. Zim smiled back and said nothing more, he got up and stretched then went into the living room with Dib folowing.
"How was Skool?" He asked
"It's the same as it always has been, boring, the kids have been noticing your never there though, when are you coming back?"
"I'm not going back, Dib..."
"How come?" Dib sat down on the couch and looked at Zim.
"Theres no reason at all to go back, theres nothing there for me..."
"Alright, I understand.." Dib picked up his backpack and pulled some books out of it. Dib had been spending hours at Zim's house each day and he started doing his homework there too. They sat for hours just talking, or doing nothing at all. And this made them both happy. Dib set down his Math book and stretched out. He thought about saying something to Zim but decided against it and watched TV.
The clock struck 5 PM and that meant that it was time for Dib to leave. Dib shuffled all his books into his bag and looked at Zim.
"You get some rest, and eat something, alright?"
"Yes mom." They both laughed and Dib walked out the door, he was unaware thoguh that he had left a small black leather notebook behind.
Zim yawned and realized that he was pretty tired, he got up and crossed the room to his bed, however he tripped over something and he picked it up. It seemed to be a black leather notebook with gold lettering on it reading "Dib".
"Dib's notebook..." He whispered as he ran his fingers across the edges. He slowly opened it and read the first entry.

Their coming, I knew they would! I was up on the roof and I heard it, their coming, this will be my chance to prove to all mankind that Aliens actually exist!
Zim flipped a few pages and read the next entry.
May 5, 2001.
There is something wrong with Zim, he hasn't left the house, is this just a scheme, I'm worried...
He flipped to the very last entry.
May 8, 2001.
I'v been going to see Zim a lot nowadays, I just love to sit and talk with him for hours on end. He seems to be getting happier, and when he's happy, I'm happy. I don't know what I'm feeling...Could I love Zim? Yes..I think I do...
Zim stared in disbelief at the last entry. Dib...loved him? Zim thoguht for a momment...
"I love him back.." He thought to himself, "This can't be...I know how relationships work on Earth, Dib liking me will only cause him trouble, I can't do that to him, this can't be...." Zim got up and went down to his lab, something had to be done.
The next day after school Dib was walking happily down the street, looking forward to an afternoon with Zim. He stopped suddenly, his eyes getting wide. He dropped his backpack on the ground and ran to the now vacant lot where Zim's house used to stand. He picked up a small black leather notebook that was lieing on the ground and flipped to the last page. The words, "I Love You Dib." Were scrawled on it. Dib fell to his knees and laid down in the dirt, tears flowing rapidly down his face. He stayed there for a long, long time...
The End
