It was Probing Day. In the Massive, Almighty Tallest Red was checking on all the invaders and he was drinking a soda. "Thank you Invader Slacks. That was a better presentation than last time."

"Thank you my tallest." Slacks said.

Red turned the screen off. Then he looked around. He didn't see his co worker. He looked at the navigators and the other irkens.

"Hey, where's Purple?"

The irkens and navigators shrugged. Tallest Red looked at a certain irken.

"Zim, what did you do?" he asked. Zim didn't say anything. "Well?"

"My tallest, I didn't do anything." Zim said. "Alright. Then if you didn't do this, who did?" Red asked.

"Wait. Tallest Red." Zim said. "Yes Zim?" Red asked. "Maybe he's just out sick. One time, I didn't come to a meeting like this because I was sick." Zim said.

"Yes. We all remember, and it was peaceful." Red said. "I know." Zim said. "But wait. Purple and I are always together. We never leave the Massive." Red said.

"That doesn't mean that he can't just be sick." Zim said. "He could have got a filthy Earth illness. When I was on Earth, before I conquered it, sometimes, I get an illness on Earth."

"That's it. I'm calling Purple." Red said and he called his co-leader. "Purple! Where are you!? Today's Probing Day. I'm about to talk to the other invaders and you didn't show up! And did you hear that Zim actually conquered Earth?"

"What? How did he do it?" Purple asked. His voice sounded congested. "I don't know, but we need you to come here right now! Wait, why do you sound weird?" Red asked.

Purple sniffled. "Red, I'm sick." Purple answered.

"Hah! I knew it!" Zim yelled. "Be quiet Zim." Red ordered. "Sick? Seriously? Out of all the days, you're out sick? Great. I need a substitute for you."

Zim raised his hand. "Me! ZIM!" Zim screamed. "No!" Red yelled.

"I'm sorry Red." Purple said. "Fine. You're off the hook Purple. Just get better and be here tomorrow." Red ordered. Purple nodded. "I'll try."

Red hung up. "We need someone to sub in for Purple." Red said.

"What about Zim?" Skoodge asked. Red laughed at Skoodge. "Very funny. No. I'm serious." Red said.

Then a one-eyed noodly alien came in. "I will." he said.

"Purple, I thought I told you to rest. I said that you were able to take the day off." Red said.

"My tallest, that's not Tallest Purple." Zim said. "What?" Red asked. Zim and the other irkens pointed to the one-eyed alien. The alien waved his arm.

Red went over to the alien. "Who are you?"

"My name's Pleakley." The alien said. Red moved closer to Pleakley. "Please, don't kill me." Pleakley begged.

"Who sent this guy? Zim?" Red asked. Zim shook his head. "Who on Irk are you and why do you sound like my co worker Purple, who's out sick today?"

"I'm from the planet Plorgonar." Pleakley said. "Is that on the map or is that a secret planet too?" Zim asked.

"Let me check." Red said. He hovered around the map. "I don't see it."

"It's an alien planet." Pleakley explained. "Did we conquer it?" Red asked. "You know, I've been exiled for a while and even I don't know what that planet is." Zim said.

"Home of the Plorganarians." Pleakley said. "A plorganarian. What is a plorganarian?" Red asked.

"Is that what this guy is?" Larb asked. "Maybe." Red said. "It is." Pleakley said.

"What does it look like?" Zim asked. "It's the shape of my head." Pleakley said. "The shape of your head. Nope. Never heard of it." Red said.

"That's because it's in deep space." Pleakley said. "So, can I sub in for your co-leader? Wait, what race are you?"

"We're all irkens and I'm Almighty Tallest Red, but you can call me Tallest Red." Red explained.

Zim raised his hand. "Yes Zim?" Red asked. "Do we call him Almighty Tallest Pleakley?" Zim asked.

"Hmm. That's actually a good question. He's not actually tall Zim." Red said. "How about we call him Almighty Shortest Pleakley?" Skoodge asked.

"He's not the shortest one." Red said. "What about Almighty Short Pleakley?" Zim asked.

"Just call him Pleakley! I'm not even sure if he's almighty or not." Red said. "Okay." Zim said.

"Now Pleakley, we are now in the Massive." Red said. "Wait! I forgot to tell Jumba that I'm going to be your co-leader today." Pleakley said.

"Who's Jumba?" Red asked. "He's the creator of 629 illegal genetic experiments." Pleakley said. "Illegal experiments?" Red asked. Pleakley nodded.

"What kind of species is this Jumba guy?" Red asked. "He's a Kweltikwan." Pleakley said. "A what?" Zim asked.

"A Kweltikwan." Pleakley repeated. "Is that an alien species?" Zim asked. "We have no idea Zim." Red said. "Now we're going to head to Earth."

"Earth? Why?" Pleakley asked. "Well before Purple called in sick and you showed up, I found out that Zim succeeded. Surprising." Red said.

"Why is it surprising?" Pleakley asked. "Because I'm the worst invader." Zim said. Red looked at Zim. "Yeah. I found out."

Red sighed. "Just because I destroyed Operation Impending Doom I, doesn't mean that you can't give me another chance. And you didn't! But look at me now!" Zim screamed.

"Okay Zim. I get it." Red said. "Pleakley, why are you concerned about the Armada going to Earth?" Zim asked.

"Jumba, Lilo, her sister, and experiment 626 is there." Pleakley said.

"Who's Lilo and 626?" Red asked. "Lilo is a little orphan Hawaiian girl." Pleakley said. "And the 626?" Red asked.

"Experiment 626 also known as Stitch is Lilo's pet." Pleakley said. "So a filthy human girl and an alien dog thing." Zim said.

"That sounds about right Zim." Red said. "I wonder what's happening on Earth." Pleakley said.

Chaos. Due to Zim's invasion, everything was destroyed. Nani walked into the destroyed house.

"Lilo!" She screamed.

Lilo looked at Stitch. "Uh oh."

"Did you do this?" Nani asked. Lilo shook her head. Stitch crawled around. "Has anyone seen Pleakley?" Jumba asked.

"I don't know Jumba. Lilo, clean this ruckus up!" Nani yelled and she walked away.

"We're in trouble." Lilo said.

Back at the Massive, Pleakley was freaking out. Red sighed. "He's more annoying than you Zim."

"Get used to it my tallest." Zim said. "I blame Purple. This guy's been screaming for hours now!" Red yelled. "Actually he's only been doing it for at least five minutes." Skoodge corrected.

"Hey Pleakley? Can you stop screaming? You're supposed to be my sub co-leader." Red said. "I guess that's not turning out well." Zim said.

"Be quiet Zim. I have to train this guy." Red went to Pleakley. "Hey Pleakley, we need to talk."

Skoodge looked at Zim. "Hey Zim, what do you think Tallest Red's going to do with Pleakley?"

"He's probably going to tell Pleakley that he shouldn't be protecting the planet that I conquered."

"First of all Pleakley, the humans that were on Zim's planet are enemies. Understand?" Red asked.

Pleakley nodded. "Okay."

"Follow me to the seats that Purple and I sit on." Red said.

"Sure."

Tallest Red and Pleakley sat down in a chair. "So, now what do we do?" Pleakley asked.

"Well we're checking on every invader on their enemy planet and see if they are passing or failing their mission." Red answered.

Zim and Skoodge peaked in.

"Enemy planet? Isn't that dangerous?" Pleakley asked. "Yes. What are you afraid of danger?" Red asked. "Well I do not like it." Pleakley said.

Red sighed. "Well what do you like?" he asked. "Well I like cleanliness, safety, cross-dressing…"

"Cross-dressing? What is that?"

"Wearing clothes that make me look like a woman."

Tallest Red had a confused look on his face. Zim and Skoodge laughed.

"Anything else?" Red asked.

"Let's see. I like sewing, Earth culture and studying it."

"Which is totally banned here." Red said.

"Yes. I know. I like mosquitoes."

"Don't they eat human blood?" Zim asked. Skoodge put his hand over Zim's mouth and ran off. Zim grunted.

Red turned around. "What was that?" Pleakley asked. "I don't know. I just hope that it wasn't one of the invaders." Red said.

Skoodge looked at Zim. "Shh." he said. Zim nodded. Once again, they peaked in.

"Where were we?" Red asked. "Mosquitoes." Pleakley answered.

"Right. Go on."

"And I also like Mr. Stenchy's odor."

Red sat up. "I'm sorry who? Who on Irk is Mr. Stretchy?"

"Stenchy." Pleakley corrected.

"Who is that?"

"Oh he's experiment 254."

"Another illegal experiment? What's with you, your partner, and illegal experiments? My co worker's normally eating donuts and stuff."

"Donuts?" Pleakley asked.

"Don't tell me you've never heard of those."

"I think I've heard of them."

"Okay. We need to check on Invader Flobee."

"Who's Invader Flobee?"

"Maybe I should just give you an introduction on how my partner and I work this place."

Pleakley nodded.

"Okay. We are the Irken race. I am one of the two Almighty Tallest! We are the leaders of the Irken Empire! Take notes down."

Pleakley took out a notepad and started writing the things that Red was saying.

"We all have something on our backs called a PAK. We get these when we are born and it has all the things we need to survive. Without it, we only ten minutes to live."

"Wow! Go on."

"Since I am one of the two Almighty Tallest's, I will tell you my job."

"Sure."

"Purple and I are the leaders of the Irken Empire. We supervise the second attempt to take over the universe, also known as Operation Impending Doom II."

"What happened to one?"

"One word, Zim."

Zim walked in. "But I changed and I succeeded!"

"Out!" Red yelled. Zim walked away. "Anyway, I told you that we were in the massive, which is the largest and the most powerful irken armada."

"Armada?" Pleakley asked.

"It's a war ship. There is a day called Probing Day which is today. It's our job to check on the irken invaders."

"Check on them and do what?"

"We ask them to do a presentation. Last time, we told them to do a puppet presentation."

"Okay. What if they refuse?"

"Good question. If they fail to talk to us, they will get a pummeling."

Pleakley cringed. "Yikes."

"That's what happens."

"Alright."

"You understand?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Let's go."

Tallest Red and Pleakley walked over to the rest of the invaders.

"Okay. Now everyone, today is Probing Day. Now, did everyone meet Pleakley?"

The irkens nodded.

"Good. Tallest Purple and I were supposed to do Probing Day together, but Purple is out sick, so Pleakley will be the new Tallest for today and today only."

"Okay, so what's the first thing we do?" Pleakley asked.

"We're talking to the other invaders."

"Let's get started."

Red and Pleakley were inspecting on every irken invader. "Hey, this isn't so hard."

"Yep. Now let's get some food."

"What do we eat?" Pleakley asked.

"Purple and I normally have donuts, chips, soda, and all the other space junk food."

"Alright. Hey, this was fun." Pleakley said.

Once the Massive got to Earth, they dropped Pleakley off and left. Pleakley waved to the Massive. He sighed in relief and went back to Lilo's house.

"I'm back."

"Where were you?" Jumba asked.

"I went to an irken ship." Pleakley said to Jumba and the gang.

Tallest Red looked back at Earth. "Well that was nice. He actually did a good job. I'll have to tell Purple all this stuff tomorrow."

The next day, Red stared at the blank screen. He was drinking his soda and hoping that Purple will return. "Come on Purple. We need to discuss something."

Five seconds later, Purple entered. "Hey."

"Great. You're back." Red said as he put his soda down.

"What happened yesterday?"

"Well when you were sick, another alien subbed in. It wasn't even an irken. His name was Pleakley and he sounded just like you."

"No."

"I'm not kidding."

"Interesting. Now what's going on with Zim?"

"He actually succeeded and found out the truth."

"Alright. Let's talk to him. But first, let's go eat food."

"It's good to have you back."

"Yeah. So this Pleakley guy did things right?" Purple asked. Red nodded. "Yep. I had to get to know him and he had to understand our job, but in the end, it worked out."

"Good."
