She's got your number now
"Y-you did?"
"Oh yeah, chopping him up like that, I knew you hated him but jeez I never thought you would actually have the balls to kill him."
She knows just what you done
You've got no place to hide
You've got no where to run
She knows your life of crime.
"See I was right about you being insane. You've got the idea of bloody Murder in that big head of yours!"
I think it's supper time!
"I might as well just take you to the police, it'll be funny seeing you get beaten up by your inmates." She said. "C-come on Gaz! You wouldn't do tha-" before he could finish she grabbed his arms and twisted them behind him.
Come on, come on
Think about all those offers
Come on, Come on
Your future with Y/N!
Come on, Come on
Ain't no time to turn squeamish!
Cccccome on!
I swear on all my spores
When she's gone the world will be yours
"Though." She pursed her lips. "I think I could make a deal with you."
Dib raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean."
"I could get you a ticket out of town, and forget this ever happened, but, only if you tell me how to take care of this stinking thing. I could actually make good bucks off this." Gaz said softening her grip on him a bit. "Y-yes! Ok ok just let me go and I'll tell you." Gaz did what she was told and gave him a cold stare. Dib had looked behind her only to find the plant slowly lowering its head and opening its mouth. "What do I have to do." Gaz asked as if it was more of a statement then a question. "J-just feed it." Dib walked starting forward as Gaz walked backward to give him space. Little did she know where she'd be walking into. "Feed it what?"-"M-minerals," "Yeah?" "And Thursdays, you should give it water."
"Yeah?" As Dib kept inching closer, Gaz kept inching backwards. "But whatever you do.."
A pause. "Yes?", "W-whatever you do..",
"Yes?!" As Gaz took her final step, she felt something warm and moist on her back. She turned around to find the plant's mouth wide open, leaning in to examine it. "What the heck is this thing?"
"GAZ WAIT-," But before he could finish, the plant took a large chomp into her. Dib shivered and started to cover his eyes immediately regretting what had happened. The plant kept chomping and biting but the whole time she was just yelling and at Dib calling him a variety of profanities, until the plant finally went silent.
"S-she's dead..." Dib said quietly, his voice shaking. What would his dad think? He would surely be sent to a terrible place if anyone were to find out. For now, he had to keep this his dirty little secret, and make up lies as they came. He hated this. He wanted to be famous for a paranormal discovery but he never expected it to come with a terrible price as this. Unfortunately, this was a burden that he had to carry on his back wether it was crushing him or not.

"Dib Membrane!
So finally we meet you!
This is an occasion,
Let's toast, up yours! Relax, canapé? Cigarette?
Let's talk turkey
Sign here and we'll book you on lecturing tours!"
"Yes, darling, we're sending photographers Thursday so get the plant ready, and wear a clean shirt."
"Just sign this release."
"Need a pen?"
"Aren't you thrilled? It's the cover of Life Magazine!"
"Dessert?"
"I'm telling you son, it's a cinch to get ratings."
"The title is Marvin's!"
"The concept is mine!"
"The first weekly gardening on the network."
"And you're gonna host it you lucky kid Sign!"
They say the meek shall inherit, you know the book doesn't lie
It's not a question of merit, it's not demand and supply
They say the meek gonna get it and you're a meek little guy
You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em, by and by!
Dib stood at the foot of his open garage door, as the TV station and press flashed their bright cameras effectively hitting his eyes. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Mr. Dib Membrane and his magnificent plant!" Everyone began clapping, and thankfully a beacon of hope had shined throughout the crowd as he saw your warm and friendly face smiling and clapping, wearing a nice t shirt dress and sneakers. "Now Dib, why don't you tell about this pla-", but before the news reporter could speak, the plant crashed his head down on to the concrete floor. Oh no. "Cut cut! What happened to the goddamn greenery?" The reporter said giving Dib a look of anger. "It needs to be fed." Dib said quietly.
"So? Where do you keep the plant food?" The man said urgently looking for it. "It doesn't eat that." Dib said shaking a bit. This was really unlike him, normally he would have loved the attention since he hardly got any but he was a babbling lunatic. This needed to stop. "I don't want to feed it." He said aloud. The man shifted his attention to Dib. "Just leave me alone!!! GO AWAY! ALL OF YOU! GO AWAY." He yelled as the crowd wouldn't budge. You approached him and gave him a bit of a slap on the face. "Dib you're acting delusional!" You said your voice laced with concern. "I know I'm sorry." He said before running inside his house into his room shutting the blinds.
Not long after, he heard a knock on the door. "Dib what's wrong?" A voice said from the other side of the room. Thankfully it was just you. He opened the door to your concerned face. "In case you were wondering, the people from TV said they were gonna be back later with a check." Dib thought for a moment. There was so much he could do with that check. Maybe buy an abandoned shack in the middle of nowhere far from this place with you.
"A check...a check! Y/N we could go and run away together!" Your expression shifted to confusion. "W-what do you mean?" You asked slightly tipping your head sideways. "We can finally leave this ugly and disgusting place! Far away from plants. No plants at all." You became anxious and concerned again. "Dib...now that Zim is...you know...I feel a lot safer you know? We can live somewhat normally."
Dib signed and put his hands on your shoulders gently. "You don't have to go, just say bye or something." You nodded sadly, but complied. "At least I'll know your off doing something you love." He smiled and his worries just seemed to shift away. You smiles back and soon after the both of you came up with a time to meet up later tonight to say goodbye.
Little did both of you know, it was going be your final goodbyes.
