I'm Small But I'm Big

Chapter One

Too Teenie For Yoo

Long ago, in the depths of the universe settled a planet of a quiet unusual species of green aliens. Together they lived on planet Irk… they were the Irkens. Here your power was based on how tall you were; and the tallest ones were The Almighty Tallest. The shorter ones would hopefully become Invaders and serve their Tallest well, but there was one Irken that was… mysteriously small.

The long, cold, metal robot arm took a tube off the wall, and cracked it open like an egg. The robot expected to see at least an average sized alien baby, but instead saw one three times smaller. The baby gurgled as the robot arm implanted it's pod upon, oh yes it was, her back. The robot arm took in the error, and sent the baby to the Tallest.

"What… is it?" asked the Tallest who was Red.

"I think it's a baby Irken!" replied the Tallest who was Purple.

Tallest Red picked up the small package, and the baby giggled and smiled at him. Red's only reaction was a look of annoyance.

"She's so… tiny," Red poked at her head, and she giggled again.

"No, smaller than tiny. She's teenie," said Purple taking the baby into his hands, as he stared at her.

"Teenie! Teenieteenieteenie!" squealed the little Irken at the Tallest.

"Awww, isn't she cute?" Purple asked Red while smiling at the young one.

"Cute? Of course she isn't cute! Look how repulsively small she is! She must be destroyed at once. She is an embarrassment to our race!" Red glared at the baby.

"Teenie doesn't want to be destroyed! I'm sure she'll grow up to be a nice Invader! She'll be tall," Purple held the baby out so as not to let Red have it.

"You named her Teenie?" Red stared at Purple.

"Yes. Yes I did. She is a Teenie," Purple swung her in the air some as she giggled.

"I've never seen an Irken baby giggle so much," Red snatched the baby that now was Teenie away from Purple.

"Oh how giggly she is! She is happy. Perhaps happy can be good for the other Irkens when they start training? Maybe even a good influence on them!" Purple said trying to get Red to go along with it. Usually it never worked.

"I don't know… I still have the urge to destroy her," Red sighed and stared down at Teenie. She smiled and hugged his arm, "—but maybe one chance. If she doesn't grow tall enough by the time she's 170, then I will be forced to destroy her."

"Great! Okay now. I'll send her to the nursery school where she can be clothed and taught how to read and write," said Purple putting her under some kind of tubing, with a button that said "SUCK." He presses this button causing Teenie to be sucked up and sent out.
