A/N: Before I can begin to write this story I must give some of you some much needed information. YES this fanfic is rated M. YES it will contain smut. And NO it will NOT have ZADR included. It's ZATR so if you don't like it, don't read it. And please no rude reviews, they are very annoying.

Zim was in his base measuring how much he had grown in the past week and a half.

FLASHBACK TO A WEEK AND A HALF

"Computer!"

"What Zim?"

"I am tired of being short"

"Ok I don't see how this is MY problem."

Zim hissed through his teeth. "Make me a growth serum!"

Computer researched for five minutes and found a perfect formula. He then made a growth serum for his master.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

"Ha! A whole 5 inches! I'm even taller than that Tak beast! Now, let's see how much taller I'm going to get."

Zim picks up the serum and read the label. It reads in bold "ONLY WORKS UNTIL 4/12/14 7:08 PM EST"

Zim set down the serum in anger. 'GOD DAM IT THAT'S RIGHT NOW! COMPUTER!"

"Yes?"

"Why does this serum expire so quickly?"

"Sorry sir I tried to make it last longer…"

Zim ignored the explanation distracted by a warning coming from his telescope. Something was threatening the base. Zim rushed to his front yard only to find a ship covered in dirt and standing in front of it was someone he did not want to see.

She stood there covered in bloody scars and bruises from the crash. Despite the intense pain she was having, she was still able to put up a good fight. Her fists clenched just by looking at him. "I don't think you realize-or care-how much pain I'm in right now, but despite it I'm still going to kill you."

Zim dug though his PAK and found a useful weapon. "Bring it on."

She and Zim fought in the darkness, Zim unable to see her face clearly. He could not entirely recognize the face but he did know the voice. She pushed him into the base and fell down into the light. Zim was in utter belief. "Tak, is that you?"

She got up quickly and brushed herself off. "Yes it's me you moron, who else would I be?"

"I don't know…"

Tak wasn't in the mood to play games, she had a job to do. She was here to kill Zim and that was all. She began to charge at Zim and he knocked her over, soon following him falling on top of her. Tak rolled over in an attempt to free herself, but ultimately making thinks worse. Zim wouldn't let her go without a fight. He trapped her with her head in his lap, this would be easier for Zim to kill her. Tak kept fighting in attempt to free herself. Zim grabbed her neck planning on chocking her to death. He pushed her over so he was completely on top of her, still grasping her neck. Her face began to turn blue due to lack of oxygen, then Zim snapped. He released her from his grasp only for the result of him pressing his lips to Tak's. She returned the kiss without hesitation and wrapped her hands around his neck. After the kiss lasting for what it seemed like forever, Tak finally passed out in his lap. She was so weak and wounded she literally had no energy to keep awake.

A/N: Okay cliff hanger! Oh and I was eating a bag of potato chips while writing this. That is a useless fact but hey, I don't really care!
