All right. I'm going to attempt to explain what's about to happen. I am posting a better story about Tes and my other O.C.s. I will most likely post more on this one than on "More Invaders". I am attempting to explain each of my O.C.s with a more in depth story line. And there may even be a kidnapping. I wrote it on the crappy ThinkPad my father gave me. I can't transfer it to this better computer, as the ThinkPad is too damn old, so I am re-typing everything. I also have another story and perhaps I'll add one that's just about Sen.

Do not worry, I will attempt to update as much as possible. I do have a life, you know. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one a lot more, since I do.

Welcome, Irkens, to Planet Earth

Chapter One: Tes, Meet Dan. Dan, Meet Tes.

Dear Journal,

Ugh…six months of traveling through this empty void we call space and still no decent planet to land on. My Voot Cruiser is acting up and Mei won't stop singing. I finally escaped the Armada and the Massive and there's NOWHERE TO GO! Sometimes I wonder why I left…

Oh, yeah…that's right. It's all because of the Tallest and the other Irkens. They're so mean to us. When I say us, I mean Rea, Sen, Pax, Web, and me. I mean, they pick on Web for his rare amber eyes, and on the rest of us for being friends.

Mei better stop singing or - oh! An unknown planet! Let's land here! It's called………Earth…ah, well. If anyone ever finds this Journal, remember to get rid of the Tallest…

- Tes -

Tes finally closed her journal. She was Irken (A/n: In case you haven't noticed…) and her invader uniform was a deep blue. She had wide, blue eyes and a blue and gray PAK.

Mei gave a sigh of boredom and exclaimed, "Can we please land! I'm sooooo bored! Besides, I want to play with that nice boy down there!"

Tes jumped to the window, her eyes widened in horror. Had they been seen by an inhabitant of the planet? She looked down at the ground to see an overexcited boy running beneath the Voot. Tes panicked, grabbing hold of Mei.

"Mei! Disguises!" she exclaimed. "D-disguises for landing!"

"Okaaaaaaaaay!" Mei giggled. She took out a remote-like device and pressed a series of buttons. Immediately, Tes was disguised as a human. She had on a plain blue shirt and black pants. Her face looked more human. Her antennae were gone and were replaced by long blonde hair tied up in a braided ponytail. She had glasses over her dark blue eyes. Mei was a cat with short, black fur and yellow eyes, since her robot eyes were just as yellow.

Tes looked frantically for a place to safely land. She saw, what seemed to be, a secluded park. There were no humans there, so she landed the Voot. Before she opened the cockpit, Mei nudged her lightly on the leg.

"What now?" Tes asked, looking down. Mei had a necklace in her mouth, a small black widow spider on it. "What's that?" Tes asked, taking the necklace from her.

"It's used to control your disguise," Mei explained, suddenly in a serious mood. "You must be careful with it! A single press of that button on the back there, and our cover is blown…"

Tes gulped and opened the cockpit to the Voot to see the boy eagerly waiting for some strange creature to walk, slither, or crawl out. Little did he know, Tes was a strange creature walking out. He did not see it, though, and Tes breathed a sigh of relief when his shoulders sagged, disappointedly.

"Dang, not an alien…" he said, sounding upset. He had green eyes and black, messy hair. He wore a blue, collared, zip-up shirt, black pants, and white boots.

"No, sorry…" Tes said. She smiled. "My name is Tes. My…father sent me here. This is his…aircraft. This is my cat, Mei. It's nice to meet you."

"Oh," the boy sighed, "my name's Dan. That's an interesting aircraft there. Never seen one like that before."

"Yeah, well…" Tes was beginning to grow nervous, so she decided to change the subject. "I don't exactly have anywhere to stay. Dan, do you know of a place?"

"You can stay at my house!" Dan exclaimed, as if he hadn't thought twice about it. "My dad's not home much and Cai could care less. You just have to sleep in a smaller room, since my mom's been bed ridden…"

Tes tilted her head slightly. "What happened?"

"Oh, she's just sick is all…" Dan answered. (A/n: She's dead in the original copy of this, but I changed that…) He looked as if he didn't want to speak about it anymore, so Tes kept quiet as he lead her and Mei through the town. I'll have to come back for my Voot later…Tes thought, worried for her Voot.

Soon, Tes found herself at the entrance to a simple bedroom. It had a bed, a desk, and a dresser. On the desk was a lamp and a basic-looking computer, not at all advanced and behind its time, as if Dan just had it for simple tasks. On the dresser were to scale models of shuttle crafts, as well as other seemingly useless knick knacks. There was not a single poster on the wall, nor were there any books - no, there was one book. A large book entitled, UFO-logy, Mythology, and Other Paranormal Occurrences.

Tes shuddered slightly and gulped. Dan gave her a strange look and she stood rigid. She would need to be especially careful around Dan, he would be the type to discover her true self and to do something about it.

"Um…" Dan murmured, looking away. His cheeks turned read. Tes raised an eyebrow; Irkens did not turn red…

"Are you all right?" she asked, a look of genuine concern on her face.

"Uh…y-yeah," he stammered. "I'm just not used to having a girl in my room…"

"Oh?" Tes asked. What odd creatures these humans are…she thought. Irkens get along with the opposite gender just fine…

"Here," Dan said, beginning to walk out, "I'll show you where you'll be staying."

They walked down the hallway towards a room in the back. On their way, they passed another room. The door was cracked open and Tes could hear coughing. She quickly peeked inside to see a fragile looking woman laying in the bed. She had long, beautiful, golden hair and her cheeks were a bright red. She looked very frail and her green eyes were glazed.

"Dan?" the woman called out. "Is that you?"

Dan stopped, immediately, and turned into the room. His motions became quiet and gentle.

"Yes, Mom?" he called back. His voice was even quieter.

"Who's that with you?" the woman asked, smiling in Tes's direction.

"This is Tes, mother," Dan explained. "I was showing her to the guest room. She's staying with us for a while."

"I see," the woman murmured. She looked thoughtfully at Tes. "Have her come in here tomorrow, okay? I'd like to get acquainted, but not now…"

"Yes, Mom," Dan said, nodding.

The guest room was just as simple as Dan's room. There was a bed near a window and a dresser beside it. There was a desk with a lamp and a walk-in closet near the door.

"This is a nice house…" Tes admitted.

"Not really," Dan said, dismissing the very thought with a wave of his hand. "The Membrane house is even better. They even have a lab in the basement."

"A…laboratory??" Tes exclaimed without thinking.

"Y-yeah," Dan stammered, his cheeks reddening yet again. "Dib showed it to me a few weeks ago. It's pretty cool. I guess you're into that kind of stuff, huh?"

"I guess…" Tes felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, good night!" Dan said, yawning. "I'm going to bed. You'd better get to sleep, too. We've got a big day tomorrow. I'm gonna show you around the town!"

"Good night," Tes copied Dan's farewell and shut the door behind him. Her head was spinning.

"What a day it's been," she said to herself. "Well, now I can do some research…"
