I know I haven't updated in about four months! It's just that I sort of found this story silly/stupid. But all of your kind reviews… D'AWWW! I like you guys. ;v; Unfortunately this will be the last chapter. So enjoy it please!
"Zim!" Professor Membrane ran in the room.
"Yes, Professor?"
"I have great news! Okay, so I was sleeping with you last night…" (A/N: Awkward XD)
"Yes…"
"…And I noticed that I didn't need to turn on the fan!" Zim raised one of his antenna and tilted his head.
"Eh?"
"Usually, the heat of your fever is so unbearable that I have to turn on the fan! But not last night!" Before Zim could answer, Professor Membrane, who was a scientist that seemingly had ADHD the way he yelled out his successes, tore off his glove and slapped his hand upon Zim's forehead. Zim stared in shock/horror– he wasn't expecting this– but then he let it slide, knowing the Professor.
"ZIM!" Professor Membrane yelled, completely forgetting that his son was sleeping just across the hallway, "YOU DON'T HAVE A FEVER ANYMORE!"
Zim beamed. Professor Membrane picked up Zim with both hands under his arms and danced around with him like a parent would do with a small child.
Dib walked in.
"DAD! The HECK are you DOING?!"
"Zim's cured, Son!" Dib looked with malice in his eyes at the alien.
"You know what, Zim? We should have a celebration tonight!"
And they did.
They went out to a fancy restaurant (Japanese Steak House) and returned home laughing. Dib and Gaz came along, and they both had a great time, too.
"So what'd ya wanna do now, Professor?" Zim asked eagerly.
"I think I'm going to bed I don't feel very well." He coughed. "Ugh."
Zim frowned. "Professor, lean down," he said. When Membrane did so, Zim took off a glove and put his hand on the Professor's forehead.
"Oh, Professor," he said sympathetically, "you have a fever. Zim walked Membrane to bed.
"But I'm gonna take care of you, just as you did to me. Irkens look after each other. It's my instinct. Professor Membrane smiled.
"You don't have to, Zi—" "Shh," said Zim. He got in the bed and cuddled up to the Professor.
Together, they slept soundly.
