Summary
Zim is Irken. Celia knows this because she is Irken, too. Zim held her as a smeet. Zim is 7,000 years old, and a rebel, and he knows exactly who Celia is. He can't comment on that, though, on account of his PAK currently serving as a surveillance device for the Irken Empire. If he let slip that he cares for Celia like a sister, The Hive would recognize his treason and execute him remotely.
So Zim is pretending to be a loyal Irken soldier, and on top of that he's pretending to be insane, and on top of that he's pretending to be a human middle schooler, and Celia is politely pretending not to know who he is, and Dib is fairly convinced that Zim is an alien, so Celia has taken it upon herself to gaslight him to hell and back about it, and Gretchen has a crush on Dib, and Keef has a crush on Zim, and Dib has a crush on Celia, and Celia is handling this remarkably well, considering she's also an alien pretending to be a human middle schooler, the major difference being she actually is twelve.
It sounds like a lot to balance, but rest assured, she does not need to get her parents involved. She is more than capable of handling it herself.
