Prologue

(A/N: *sighs and stretches* Hello again. Well, lets get this fanfic started, shall we? This story starts soon after Kay and Dib are pronounced the Tallest. This chapter deals with how their children came to be- NOT LIKE THAT! I do not write Lemon fanfiction, people. So if you came here for a Lemon, LEAVE NOW! *waits* Still here? Okay then, lets go!)(Side note- at the end of Fall of the Tallest, Kay was 16*hyuuuman years* and Dib was 17*hyuuuman years*. Though it may be weird that they are married yet still at high school age, take into account how old they are in irken years. Kay is 224, and Dib technically is 238. This might make it less awkward.)

-10 earth years before (140 Irken years)-

"My Tallests, we only wish to have both of your DNA patterns so we can create the next Tallest."

"What if it doesn't work? We are two separate species."

"We have discovered that DNA matches our own close enough. Please, Tallest Kay, let us have the sample." The Irken scientist pleaded. He held a weird device out towards her, and she took it. She ran it up her arm, wincing as it scraped skin cells off. She turned to a hyuuuman teen with black hair and glasses.

"Hold out your arm, Dib."

He obeyed, and Kay repeated what she had done to her arm on his.

"Here you go." She handed the device back, and the scientist left, bowing.

"What was that about?" Dib asked, rubbing his now sore arm.

"In order to create genetic copies of ourselves, they have to combine DNA in a lab. It's what Irkens have done for thousands of years."

"So… basically that's how Irkens reproduce?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, it is the way we have reproduced ourselves for at least 4200 years… (Note- 4200 years on Irk is 300 on Earth) but I heard it was different in the beginning our our race. Kinda like the hyuuumans way, if you get what I mean."

"I see."

"But when our technology became extremely advanced, the Tallest at the time made it illegal to not reproduce using 'test tubes'. And there were- and still are- too many supporters to try getting rid of that law. Maybe after a few years we can change it, but we need to focus on regaining allies." Kay walked to the edge of the Massive's platform and stared out of the screen. Near the ship was a planet that had been almost entirely replaced with metal. Ships came in and out of ports, and flashing signs were everywhere. She closed her eyes and turned away. "Come on, lets get to Vort."

-3 earth years later (42 Irken years)-

"My Tallest, the smeet was born!" A guard walked in a hyuuuman-looking child with a PAK on his back. He had short black hair and purple eyes. He wore a purple shirt, a black jacket like Dib's, and jeans. He blinked innocently at the Tallests.

"Hi!" He said happily. "I'm Kib!"

Kay smiled and picked him up. "Hello Kib! You are so cute!"

"Thank you, mommy!"

Dib studied him curiously. "He was just born? And yet he can walk and talk like a toddler?"

"Irkens are born that way." Kay handed the hyuuuman-like smeet to her husband. "There you go, Kib. Meet your father!"

"Hi daddy!" He hugged Dib tightly. "I wuv you."

Dib smiled gently and hugged the smeet back. "Hi, Kib. I love you too."

-5 earth years later (70 Irken years)-

"Irkens!" Kay stood on a floating platform, Dib and Kib standing behind her. She had her arms raised above her head, and her voice was amplified across the stadium. "It has been over 4200 years since the law banning anything that made us seem more like other races was passed, and some of our oldest can still remember the year Tallest Rex passed it. Though I respect him for many of the decisions he made, I do not respect that law. And today I wish to announce the beginning of my dissolving of that law. From this day forward, with any Irken smeet born, the parents can deicide whether or not to have a PAK put on it!"

Applause rose, and she turned to look at Tallest Dib and her son. "Well, Dib, before the end of me as the Tallest, we should have freedom. And maybe, perhaps, the Irken race can return to how it used to be before the machines took over our lives."

"I don't see why we can stay as it always has been." Kib grumbled. "Irkens are more superior than the other races of the universe, so can't we stay that way?"

Kay and Dib shared a worried look. "Kib…" Kay said calmly, kneeling down to look into her young son's eyes. "You weren't around before I was the Tallest. The last Tallest messed up our society. In order to fix that, we have to start dissolving all the restriction rules. The PAK was created to keep us alive, because our planet was almost destroyed by meteors. But then a law was made that used the PAKs to control Irkens. In order to make the past right, we have to change the laws. Do you understand?"

Kib didn't respond. He only looked away.

-One Earth year later (14 Irken years)-

"My Tallest." The scientist bowed, and out from behind him an Irken smeet ran towards Kay. She had brown eyes and long curly antenna. She wore a black dress and it had the same face printed on it that Dib had on his shirt.

"I'm Day!" She giggled and hugged Dib's legs. "Hi daddy!"

"Hello!" Dib bent down to hug his new daughter.

Kay smiled and turned around to face Kib, who was now about as tall as a hyuuuman 10 year old. "Kib, come say hi to your sister."

Elite Kib grimaced and looked away. "No. She's too Hyuuuman."

"You are half Hyuuuman yourself." Kay folded her arms and frowned at Kib. "And your father is Hyuuuman. Now, stop being ridiculous and say hi to your sister."

"Screw you." Kib got up and walked out of the room, leaving Kay and Dib with worried looks, and a confused Day.

"Why does bruder not like me?" Day asked innocently.

"He does, he's just being difficult." Dib assured her. But he didn't sound to convinced.
