Summary
“Are you...blackmailing me?” He doesn’t sound angry so much as surprised, maybe even pleased, a smile twitching at the corner of his mouth. “Wow. It’s been a while, I didn’t know you cared.”
“I don’t.” It’s almost the truth; Gaz wants to be able to not care about her brother’s deeply questionable life choices. If she could take another summer of him melting into a miserable chair-dweeb, stinking up the whole house and too pitiful even to laugh at. If she didn’t know that, in whatever twisted way, Dib needs Zim, and he’s gonna go after him no matter how obviously terrible a decision that is. With an exasperated groan, she elbows him in the side with maybe 98% of her full power, hard enough to make him yelp but not to go flying across the room. “Now get out of my face and go get your gross alien boyfriend.”
(or: the mating dance of the dumbass.)

Summary
“...You’re surrendering the Earth to me?”
“No!” Dib snaps, throwing up his hands because - honestly, he doesn’t know what he expected, this is Zim. “But can’t you just, I dunno...be a little less evil? Or only to the people who really deserve it? No murder or blowing up planets, but you could...mess with the skool timetable, dye people’s hair pink, start a heartless corporate empire, stuff like that. And then I’ll be here to stop you! It’s...our thing, you know?”
(or: Zim plots, Dib bargains, and absolutely nothing goes to plan.)
