I was going to be Tallest.
I couldn't believe my ears when my dad told me. He was just an inch taller than I was now. So in a month or so I would take his and Uncle Purple's position as ruler of Irk.
It has been about 4 years since I was assigned to Earth. There I met Dib and Gaz when I was blending in as their adopted sister. I went to skool with them to find out more information. I learned that Zim was assigned to the same planet as me. I also found out that he has always had a big crush on me. I wasn't too surprised since every day I get anonymous love letters from irken boys with too much hope.
Well, to make a long story short, I never got to invade Earth. I had bonded too well with the inhabitants especially Dib who always tries to save aliens from invading. My first impression of him was crazy. He may be crazy but he was a good friend.
"My Tallest, I have your mail." Said my servant.
"Thank you Yali, just leave it on my table." I said.
Yali used to be my dad's servant. She's now my servant because Uncle Purple blurted out that they have been having an affair and now dad is forbidden to see her ever again. She still wanted to work at our palace so she was assigned to me.
"So. Much. Mail." I said to myself. I got so much every day that it was starting to become very stressful.
I decided to do my little sorting process. I'd put all the magazines in one pile, all the love letters in one pile, and all the junk in the garbage.
As I was looking through everything I saw something peculiar. It was a red disc. All mail is recorded these days on videos because only idiots on irk would actually write unless they were signing an important document. But a red disc is different because all mail is recorded on a blue disc or a green disc. Nobody sells any red discs for recording anymore. I never understood why it was different I was just told that it wasn't normal.
Anyway I put the disc in my computer and played it. I was Zim… again.
"Hi Viz. This is Zim again. I just wanted to tell you that I am coming back to Irk for a while. If you want, you can meet me at the shipping docks tomorrow. You don't have to meet me, I just thought you I'd take you to my favorite restaurant for some lunch. Bye, I'll see you. Or I might not…"
It ended and I was giggling a little bit. He never seemed to use the right words in any situation. Suddenly there was a knock on my door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It's Fiz!" she said.
I opened the door for her.
"Viz, you are not going to believe this." Said Fiz excitedly.
"What?" I asked.
"Dib's here!"
"He is?"
"Yeah, he built a ship and rode it all the way here. He said it took him a year to build." She said.
"Cool, where is he now?"
"He's in the dungeons."
"We have dungeons?" I asked.
"Yeah. Remember that's where Tak is."
"Oh, those dungeons!" I said. "I forgot we had them because no one ever needs to be thrown in there. Why is Dib there anyway?"
"Because he was an alien with an unauthorized vehicle."
"Oh, I guess I should go bail him out then?"
"Yeah, he came such a long distance to get here. I don't know why but he did." Fiz nodded.
"Okay I'll go get him."
I ran out of my room but I was about to turn a corner when I heard voices.
"Viz, why did you stop?" Fiz said when she caught up to me.
"Shush." I whispered. I listened harder. There were two people talking.
"I know that I'm not going to be Tallest anymore but since my wife left us a long time ago I've been very lonely." Said the first voice.
"But won't she try to come back now that you're leaving your job to Viz? Your wife has always supposed to be Tallest before you. She's probably even taller than you now." Said the second voice
"I know. That's why I am not letting her come back because even if she does come she might try to overthrow Viz even though she had always wanted Viz to be Tallest. But times are different now. And I haven't seen her in years. Which is why I was always trying to see you. My wife doesn't care about me anymore."
I finally knew who was talking. It was my dad and Yali. But what do they mean by she's coming back? Dad and Uncle Purple told me that my mom and my aunt had left because they were too good for us. I can vaguely remember when I was little and my mom had cared for me but it was so hard to remember her. I didn't even remember her name.
"We gotta go tell Liz." Whispered Fiz.
"Right." I said.
We went back to my room to send Liz a transmission. She was currently on the Massive because she wanted to take a college course because the Massive had some of the best scholars living on it. I dialed her number but she wasn't there. All we heard was a message.
"Hello, you have called room 576 on floor 14 of the Massive. I am currently in class so please leave a message after the beep. Thank you!" Said Liz's messege.
I hung up. If we left a message then anyone could easily hear it.
"What do we do now?" asked Fiz. "If my mom and your mom are really coming here to take your job then who is going to be Tallest?"
"I don't know." I said.
On Earth, a few days ago…
"Where is that Dib human?" Zim thought. "He has been missing from school for 3 weeks."
Ms. Bitters was now blabbing on about the geography of the Middle East. A few minutes later the bell finally rang and children were walking instead of running out of the room. The class was now in high skool and Zim had been very confused when he had gone to skool on the first day and there was no one there. The principal had finally came in to tell him that he didn't go there anymore and he had to go to high skool.
Now it has been a month since the first day and everyone still thought it was hilarious. Zim just ignored them and continued to plot against earth. He wans't going to let some little embarrasing moment get in the way of his mission.
But he first had to go on vacation to Irk. Ever since he had heard that Viz was going to be Tallest, he had to congratulate her. Zim walked home and got ready to leave. He didn't have to bring anything except for GIR who would definitely destroy everything if he was left alone.
When his Voot Cruiser was ready, he started the long journey to Irk.
I couldn't believe my ears when my dad told me. He was just an inch taller than I was now. So in a month or so I would take his and Uncle Purple's position as ruler of Irk.
