Membrane sighed. "I know Dib." He looked up at his son, who had been through so much torment through out his life. "Would you..would you like to go do something?"
Dib growled staring out the window. "more pity?"
"No!" Membrane spoke up. "Just a normal father son outing." he smiled sadly. "Like before your mother died."

The words caused an icyness over Dib, who stared at the wall, cold. He stared out the open window, his fingers curling, and he lowered his head to stare at his lap, closing his eyes, his glasses falling down the length of his nose.
"Well, son?" Membrane asked tenatively. He wasn't very good at parenting, but tried his best.
"I guess... it couldn't hurt." Dib mumbled, glancing behind him slowly, chewing on his bottom lip. Brown eyes met - both sets - and a silence filled the room. Membrane smilled contently, and Dib rubbed his eye, pushing his glasses back up his nose. "As long as you don't say anything about science or any of that crap."
"Son... I respect your opinion, but you will use a respectful tone with me."
"I... yes sir."
"Good...." he stood, gesturing for Dib to follow him. Dib stared, a bit hesitant, but then nodded, and stepped after him, chewing on his lip. He took one last glance at the comfort zone of his room, then sighed, flicking off the light as he followed.

Membrane kept his goggles off and removed his phone from his arm and ear. He wouldn't need them tonight Dib seemed to be hurt very badly. Emotion wise that is. and Membrane would need his full attention to fix his son. If only Dib wasn't in to such bizarre incomprehensible things like aliens and Bigfoot and the like. Membrane sighed. This was going to be one of his most difficult projects ever.

The park provided an icy chill, one that left both men quiet as they walked through it. Membrane couldn't help but glance at his son every once in a while, amazed. He hadn't noticed... had been too busy too notice... how much his son had grown. Sure, he wasn't particuliarly muscular, and perhaps a bit scrawny for his age... but he had a look of sharpness to him, a look that showed some kind of intelligence above perhaps, the proffesor mused, over sentience itself.
Dib kept his eyes glued to the side-walk, still chewing on his lip. He wondered... how much his father would want to know.
"Son...."
"I shouldn't feel like this." Dib blurted out, "He's my teacher, and he's hers, and... and... and I don't like him like that... but...." Membrane was startled by the outburst, and watched as Dib's intelligent look suddenly became very nervous, very paranoid, tapping his fingers together. "The way they touch each other... I want... I need... no... I don't... but I do...."
"Uh... son... do you mind explaining?"
"Oh... um...." Dib glanced away, and gritted his teeth. "Um... you might want to... er... sit." They walked a little farther, and Membrane found a bench. His son paced back and forth. "Um... well... you see...."
"Son... if you tell me... I won't laugh."
Dib stared for a long moment, touched, then drummed his fingers together. "Well... there's Zim, who's actually a teacher at the school... and he had a crush on me freshman year. And so we decided that it wouldn't work. And then... my roommate... overcame some issues. She's... really cute. But... they fell in love... and... and...."
"And you feel like the third wheel?"
"H-how'd you know?"
Membrane chuckled, and rubbed his eyes. "Son... Dib... you forget... I was young once myself." Membrane pressed his fingertips together. "Romance isn't something that can be rushed. You'll find the right one... and...." his eyes grew a bit distant. Dib looked away, knowing his fathers thoughts all too well. "I-in any case... perhaps it would be best for you to play with some your other little friends as well."
"Yeah." Dib mumbled, deciding it was best not to tell his father the complete story of his life. He sighed, the air nipping at him, despite his cozy trench coat. "I... I'm lost." He shook his head, taking a seat on the opposite side of the bench.
Father and son sat there for a while, separated. Finally, Membrane asked "Dib... what do you remember of your mother?" Dib's eyes glowed warmly, calmly. "Hmm?"

(oops, sorries. hehe... distracted. anyway... eh... well... we could have membrane finally tell dib that he's an experiment, and have dib get all pissed and stuff. And he could stay with Taifu and Zim... or something... until someone talks him out of being so angry.)
