The Moth and the Spider: Chapter 2 - Into The (Metaphorical) Stars
The two made their way to Dib’s home, the boys continuing to exchange playful insults towards each other. It was pretty adorable. Dib would open the door for Zim who looked around as he walked inside. “Hm…I’ve never properly seen your house before…It’s…very…sciencey?” Zim crossed his arm. “Well…It is my Dad’s house…Anyways, come to my room, we should get ready before we go. I’ll try to find you some…” He glanced at Zim. “..new clothes…” Dib chuckled a bit, heading upstairs, making Zim huff softly as he followed along.
Dib casually looked through his dresser, Zim bouncing up and down while sitting on his bed, the bed making an annoyingly loud creaking sound as he did so. Dib stopped for a moment, glaring over at the alien, who was looking around the room, completely oblivious.
SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
“Zim.” “Hm?” He stopped and stared curiously at him. “I think I may have found something that you might like…” Zim’s antenna perked up and he walked over to the human, who pulled out a rather large shirt and pants. “I bought this from some website, and they sent me the wrong size. I forgot to return it…It won’t fit me, so I guess you can have it..” Dib shrugged, Zim pouting as he snatched the clothes from him. He observed it from a moment, then nodded to himself, slipping off his shirt first. Dib blushed slightly, looking away awkwardly. Did he really have to do this in front of him?? “So…how does it fit…?” He asked softly, looking back at the bug when he had the clothes on. “Hmm…It fits alright…” Dib smiled a bit. “That’s good.”
He felt the heat in his cheeks rise as he watches Zim observe himself in the mirror. “Zim doesn’t look half bad…” He smiled to himself, making little poses in the mirror, making Dib chuckle. Dib walked over to his closest, pulling out a cute backpack with moth wings on it. He quickly stuffed it with some money, his camera, and a spare sweater. He quickly zipped up the bag and walked over to the door, gesturing for Zim to follow him. The two walked downstairs and headed into the garage, Dib switching on the lights, running a hand against the ship. “Zim is still baffled you were able to get this thing to fly.” Dib smiled. “It’s wasn’t that hard actually!” He gave Zim a cocky smirk. “Honestly I expected it to be harder, with the way you talked about your ‘advanced Irken technology’.” He made sure to make air quotes when he said that last part, ZIm crossing his arms with a pout. “Yeah, yeah. No need to make your head bigger than it already is.”
Dib frowned. “For the last time, my head is not big!” Zim playfully stuck his tongue out at the human, who in turn rolled his eyes. He tapped the ships side, making the front open. Dib eagerly hoped inside, Zim soon following along. “What is it now?” The ship whined in that familiar voice, making Zim cringe a bit. “Me and Zim are going out to…Ehm…Where are we going?” The human asked, Zim shrugged in response. “Eh…I guess we could go to…Foodcourtia.” They was a bad feeling in Zim’s gut as he said that, but he had no idea why. Wait…Wasn’t he supposed to stay away from there..? Eh, all well, it probably didn’t matter too much anyways. The ship would burst into laughter. “You two? Going out? Together? Hah! Like on a date?” The ship asked mockingly, the two of them blushing in response. “Of course not! Why would you even say that?!” Dib quickly said. “Yeah! That’s absolutely revolting!” He paused for a moment. “What is a ‘date’ exactly?” He leaned in and asked Dib softly, who sighed. “You..You don’t want to know.” He groaned, glaring down at the command console of the ship. “Just take us to Foodcourtia already.” He groaned, the ship sighing softly before taking off.
