The girl looked confused.
"You know her?"
Zim ignored her. "Tak, what are you doing here? Get off my base grounds before I have to destroy you for good this time!"
He looked at 'Tak', expecting her to laugh like a psycho and attack him, but instead, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shivered. Zim stared, wide-eyed.
"Please," she sobbed, "I'm not Tak, but I know she looks like me. Let me into your house and I'll explain."
Zim didn't trust this girl, claiming not to be Tak, but he wanted an answer to what was going on, so he took her inside. Once they were in, she sat down on the couch. Zim notice she was still wet from the rain, and was dripping all over the couch. He didn't want that, in case he wanted to sit there later, so he got a towel and wrapped it around her. Suddenly she felt slightly better.
"My name's Monica," she said, "I'm the daughter of that weenie man. Tak may have told you that he was her dad, well, he was mine. I was in bed one night, when she landed just outside my house. Tak captured me and my whole family. She even took dad's business. Finally, she needed a disguise, so she used me in one of her machines, giving her a holographic disguise of me. The only thing she didn't take was my name and my voice. After she disappeared for a few months, I escaped from her secret lair and wandered the streets for days looking for help, until I came to your house, which surprisingly wasn't there last time I came."
"Yeah well I moved here fast," said Zim, "and Tak is back at Skool, so I suggest you leave before she breaks in looking for you."
"Why doesn't anyone believe me?" Monica burst into tears. Zim blocked his hearing glands.
"Shut up, you stupid dirt-pig!" he yelled, "I'm gonna go deaf in a second!" She cried louder. "Okay, OKAY! I hate Tak too, so I'll try to help, but then you have to promise to go home!"
"I promise," Monica sniffed.
"And stay out of the underground room," Zim added, "It's top secret."
"What's in there?"
"Ah, um..." Zim thought hard. What would a normal kid hide? "Erm, my diary?"
"Oh."
