PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING THE STORY

Hi! This is my first story on Fanfic (though I have written a few other stories before). This one is rather confusing though, and I just wanted to explain it.

Let me start with saying, yes, this is a ZADR story. It may not seem it for a really, REALLY long time, but it is. And the story starts off with Dib being 17 (Zim is way older so I don't feel like trying to calculate an age for him)

The idea for this story came from a quote from We Were There by Yuki Obata, Volume 7. I shall post the quote here (DISCLAIMER: I obviously did not write this quote. The author is above):

"His face, shining in the darkness. And all the stars in the night sky had gathered in his eyes. That 17-year-old boy who told me eternity exists. I can still remember it clearly even now, long after we became adults, after our childlike belief in eternity faded. But back then time had stopped. We were the only two people in the entire world. The moment seemed so real, yet so likes a dream. It lasted forever but was gone in the blink of an eye. We were still young, and we carried eternity in our hearts."

Some of the characters in the story are OCs. Some chapters might be longer than others (and I have specific reasoning for that. You should understand when the story is over), but in the end it will all make sense.

The story may seem like one shots, but they all go in a specific order that will make sense eventually.

Thank you for reading this and enjoy the story!
