Because the next page is hella long

[M/N] hummed, looking over the tablet, GIR sleeping in his lap, making noises that sounded like robotic snores. His yellow eyes staring at the pictures of Irken food, all of them savory but he didn't know which one he wanted to cook for breakfast. All of them looked very delicious than the last, though they were all made in Irken ingredients with no absolute human ingredient substitution for any of the dishes. He had to go grocery shopping, no way in hell would he ever go and call the massive for the ingredients.

Grocery shopping!

[M/N] slowly nudged GIR off who falls to the floor, letting out a huge snore. He got off the couch and hurried up the stairs, Gaz was up probably and playing one of her violent video games until 2am, Zim was fiddling with some humans outside, probably studying them but he would promise to come home before 1am. Mateo was out, at the lab as usual and wouldn't be here until morning time which would be perfect for the breakfast he would have to make. While Dib was sleeping in his room, having a hard day as usual. 

He was sleeping.

[M/N] opened the door to see Dib rolled up in the blanket, his cowlick barely sticking out. He looked so cute. [M/N] yanked the blanket off and Dib is lifted in the air for a moment, yelping as he falls back down on the bed. His blurred eyes blinking a couple times, using a hand to rub his eye. " [M/N]? What's going on? Are we under attack?" Dib asked, while taking a moment to yawn. " What happened?"

" Nothing, I'm going shopping." [M/N] said, a grin on his green lips, antennas up and perked.

" Good for you? I don't understand." Dib yawns a bit, as he goes to lay back but the Irken leader yanked him out of bed with a yelp escaping his lips. " H-Hey, wait!" Dib tried to speak up but the Leader simply held his wrist and dragged him out of bed. " Where are we going? I thought you were going to go shopping!"

" I'm going to the dimension store, you love that place!" [M/N] said, as he pressed a button on his arm transporter. Dib held onto tight to his arm as their bodies fazed away from his room and into the store. Busy as ever with some other aliens that had came here for their own things. Dib grasping [M/N]'s leg and hanged on as the taller Irken began walking, Dib hanging onto dear life as he saw the aisles. They had shelves that seem endless with multiple things every species need. He even saw some Irkens walking around, talking and laughing unlike Zim's screeching. [M/N] stops once he gotten a cart and pulled it out. He takes Dib from his leg and sits him in the large part of the cart. He would put him in the smeet section of the cart, but Dib gotten stuck last time.

" Why are we here anyway?" Dib asked as he gotten comfortable in the cart, pressing his back against the plastic part of the cart, arms crossed over his chest and cowlick standing up straight with some hairs out of place. " And why'd you drag me out here?!"

" Hush," [M/N] said, pushing the cart, antennas low with a smile. " Because Gaz would throw a fit if I bring her here with me and probably burn the store down. Zim would try to fight other species again or other dimensional characters for the fun of it again." [M/N] explained a bit as Dib huffed. " Plus, you behave better when it's just us and not Zim, as much as love my smeet, he can be a bit out of control." Dib snorts, a bit was just putting it politely, Zim can be all the way out of control. [M/N] kept pushing the cart, humming as he walked passed other alien species and picked up a space cereal, and looked over the box. Dib peered out a bit, looking around at the other species. He did like coming to the dimension store but he didn't like being dragged out of bed to be here. Dib adjusted himself a bit, getting on his knees and peeked over the plastic cart only for something to bang against his head. " OW!"

" Oops!" A soft voice said, Dib glared up at the flying female and huffed, " Watch it!" He grumbled as he rubbed his head. " Sorry! I didn't see you when I flew passed you." She said, holding the box closer to her chest. 

" Oh, Blossom!" [M/N] gasped at the sight of the tiny hero, grinning a bit. " How are you, still fighting bad guys, right?" He asked, smile coming onto his lips. The girl grins, showing off her white teeth, pink eyes gleaming happily once she recognized the green alien. 

" Mr.[L/N]!" She greeted happily, floating over to the alien, " We are, our dad just wanted some more ingredients to crate some extra Chemical X, just in case something happens. Plus, they had some cereals on sale too, so Dad sent me to get some since Bubbles ends up getting the too sugary one and Buttercup gets the bitter tasting one." Blossom smiled, " Sorry for hitting Dib on the head though." She apologize but [M/N] waved her off a bit. " It's fine, he's my big boy, a little hit on the head won't stunt his growth...I hope." Dib made a noise of disagreement but the two ignored him. Blossom giggles a bit until she saw her dad waving her to come back. 

" Goodbye, Mr. [L/N]!" Blossom said as she flew off to her dad, a beam of pink in her tracks and it fades away.

[M/N] waved at her and even waved at Professor Utonium who waved back happily. He watched as Bubbles said something and Utonium quickly weavers her off, quickly running away with Buttercup poking and teasing their father. [M/N] chuckled, not understanding why but placed two cerals in the cart, moving on to the next aisle, for some Irken sugar. He once again turns around and looked over which bag he would want. Clicking in his native tongue, and Dib looked over the cart again to made sure to not get hit again. He looked around at the things from his place in the cart. Alien towels, alien toliet paper, alien plungers? 

" Hey Dib!" Dib snapped his head away from the alien bath room supplies and met a happy gaze which Dib returned. Across from him was Dipper Pines, who was in the same place he was in the cart. The two pre-teens share a wave and smile, " How's it going?" Dipper asked, as Dib shrugs. 

" I rather be sleeping." Dib responded as Dipper nods, his eyes on the alien for a moment before looking back at Dib. " How's the whole situation? Is he treating you right?" Dib glanced at [M/N] who held a bag of alien sugar and lifting it up and down for some reason? "Honestly man, this is probably the best situation that ever happened to me. If it weren't for [M/N], I would probably be stuck to my bedroom chair." Dib said, chuckling a bit at the thought of being stuck to the chair, even if it sounded weird. " He's like the best parent I could ever ha-"

" STAN!" 

" EAT IT, SIXER!"

Dipper flinched and looked over the toddler basket to see Stan holding a bunch of alien eggs, running past him and then Ford rushing after him, pushing the cart. Dipper held onto the sides and shouted, " See you later Dib!" They all turn the corner and they were out of sight. Dib watched, wondering what Stan stolen this time and what Ford would have to fix, Strange. 

" You make the nicest friends." [M/N] commented with a chuckle, putting the sugar bag into the cart with a smile on his face. " Though, if you were a human-chair, I would still love you." Dib flushed, a bit embarrassed and felt pretty happy at the statement. " Come, we need some space fruit, ohhhh, I can taste the berries already, the oolunga, the Irken poison berry, SQAUAK!" [M/N]'s antennas flickered a bit at the thought of those berries he had missed while he lives on Earth. He pushed the cart, Dib looking around at the many sale's they had on some random things, things that looked oddly familiar and others that he hadn't seen at all. Dib sat up on his knees and watched the species they passed by. Some had more than two eyes, more than two limbs on their torso, some had some odd smells and different colors on their skin. Usually, Dib would be pointing and making accusations but after so many times of coming here, he was bored doing that and met some new friends who also had the same experiences too.

" I'll be right back, do not catch anything on fire again." [M/N] warns as he began walking towards a fruit stall and opened the bag they had and began picking up many fruits that the alien behind the stand was selling. Like others, he had to fight off some of the tentacles, Dib could see one alien in it's grasp and shaking him. 

Dib watched [M/N] attempt to get the fruits without getting hit, he watched highly amused as [M/N] smacked one tentacle away from him. 

" A-Ah, Hey Dib," Dib perked up, turning his head to see Morty, a few years older than him with slightly curly brown hair with matching brown eyes. He stood there nervously, probably waiting for Rick to come back and find him. " How's the w-whole situation between you and Zim? Getting better I hope." Dib sighs a bit, not everything with the Invader had been smoothly. He got the idea Zim is still recovering from his PAK was stolen for a long time, but his dad and [M/N] doting on him was painfully annoying and they basically let him get away with everything.

" Ugh, don't let me start, they treat him like he's a dumb flower, even when he stole the neighbor's lungs the other day to see what they looked like." Dib huffed, he was scolded by his father because he wouldn't stop pestering Zim into giving them back. He hoped [M/N] would go back to his scolding mode with Zim, so he would just stop being a jerk. 

" I-I'm sorry about that, Ah geez," Morty rubs his hands together a bit, and Dib frowns a bit. " I don't know what happened to make them treat him like that, but, uh, I know you'll figure some way to watch him. Just don't give up, okay?" Morty gives Dib a smile and Dib sighs but returns it before yelping when Rick began dragging him away. The older man was exclaiming loudly about finding some cheap space beer he wanted to feed Jerry, than a burp, then back to screaming.

" I'm back." [M/N] announced as he placed the space fruit, into the cart with Dib who held it against his chest. " I've gotten all the ingredients that I couldn't get on Earth." [M/N] wipes the blood off his cheek from the monster, not his blood of course.  [M/N] watched as Rick Sanchez walks away and hummed, as Morty looked down embarrassed when security gotten ahold of them. " Is there anything you would like to take before we head home?" [M/N] asked, knowing Dib came here because he yanked him here. 

"Uh, well, Yeah actually." Dib said, eyeing the box display as [M/N] pushed the cart.

" AAHAHAHAH all your attempts to- Dib-thing? What...What is that?"

" Shock Zim? EAT TAZER!"

" T-That's cheating! I'm telling daddy!"

" W-Wait! Zim no!"
