Thank you for all of the reviews by the way, they really mean a lot! Seriously guys, I really love them, so thank you! If you guys have any ideas/suggestions you want to share with me, I'm perfectly fine with that! I may or may not do the ideas, so don't feel offended, just some things I do and do not want to write. :P
I know I've been adding the Tallests a lot in these current chapters, I think they just don't get enough love though. ;)
So, without further adieu, let me begin.
88888888
Summary: After being told of his mission being a fake, Zim stays on Earth since he can go no where else. Many years of being stuck on Earth though it seems that Zim has gained a lot of inches- Feet, in fact. The Tallests accidentally contact him a few months later and find out about his growth. Zim is invited to join the Irken Empire as a higher rank, but they aren't given the answer they were expecting.
Then they find out about reason why he won't leave and don't like it.
Genre: Angst, drama, maybe slight comedy. Zim/Dib romance, slight Red/Purple/Zim, but not really. Listen to the song 'Mother Knows Best (Reprise)'; it actually works really well with the story. :P
Title: Tallest Knows Best
Part: 1
"I know he likes me."
"Likes you? Please, Zim, that's stoopid."
Tallest Purple sneered, tossing a piece of donut into his mouth as he sneered at the screen. Red's eyes were narrowed, a mocking laugh escaping his lips. On the screen showed an image of the once short Invader Zim who was no longer short- Nor an invader. With this new incredible height though everything could be hidden in the shadows- All of his mistakes, killing more than half of the population of Irk, and so much more- Yet he was denying acceptance into the Irken Empire once more.
All for some pathetic hyu-man.
"But, My Tallest, Zim-"
"This is why you should have stayed banished on Foodcourtia. Pfft- This whole emotional attachment that you invented just proves you're become too 'hyu-manly' and need to come back to Irk. Right, Red?"
"Uh-huh, Purple. Why would he like you, come on now, really? Look at you; you think that he's impressed? Don't be a smeet- Come with your Tallest."
"Tallest-"
"No!"
Their eyes of the Tallests' shot upwards in shock at Zim's outburst, confusion crossing both of their faces as their antennas were bent backwards.
"No?"
Immediately afterwards eyes narrowed dangerously, sadistic determination now marking both of their faces, never letting their sight leave Zim.
"Oh, I see how it is."
Red hissed, a smirk crossing his lips as a cruel laugh left Purple's lips, waving his two fingered hand in the air. The look on their faces made Zim sick to his squeedily spooch, though he kept his ground, glaring in the purple eyes of the Tallest about to speak.
"Zim knows best!"
"Zim's so advanced now!"
"Such an intelligent, tall Irken!"
On Irk the two Tallests were having a ball, throwing their food within their grasp at each other. Mocking laughter filled the entire transmission room and it was only miracle that the two were alone in the room by themselves. Well; not actually a miracle, more of a demand since they made everyone leave. Pfft- Like they were going to let everyone see that they contacted Zim on purpose. If any other Irkens had been here though they would have thought that their Tallests were going insane from all this laughter.
On screen Zim grit his zipper teeth, though head held high and shoulders bold.
"Pfft- Zim knows best. Fiinnnee, if you're so sure now, go ahead and give him your Pak!"
"Why would I-"
"That's why he's still there! Don't let him deceive you, he just wants to get your Pak and stop your so called 'mission'! He still thinks you're after his filthy planet, he's just tricking you! He doesn't even trust you, let alone 'love' you! Love- Ha! Give it to him, watch, you'll see! Give it to him and he won't give it back, he'll let you die!"
"Zim will!"
"Trust me, my smeet; he'll just leave you to die. I won't say I told you so! Then again, I won't be able too, because you'll be dead!"
"No, Zim knows best! If he's such a Vootcruiser than go and put him to the test!"
Tallest Red glowered with his arms crossed as Tallest Purple reached over to the hovering panel to end the transmission. Zim caught the motion and his vision blurred for a second, mind blank and body numb when he saw what was happening. They had ended the transmission on him like this years ago when they had told him he wasn't an invader anymore- That his mission had been fake.
Defect.
Banished.
Alone.
Could he keep living on with being completely alone? He hadn't seen an Irken face in years; would he give that up just for one single Earthling? What if his disgusting, regrettable emotions were not returned? Would he actually place his Pak within the hands of his greatest enemy- The one who tried multiple times to foil his plans and kill him?
Without even realizing it Zim had thrown his hand outwards in a stopping motion.
"Tallest, wait!"
"If he's lying-"
"Don't come crying-"
"Tallest knows best!"
The last sentence left both of the Tallests at the same time, the transmission ended right after.
On Irk Tallest Purple roared out in fury, throwing his soda against the far wall in utter rage as it exploded all over the far wall, teeth bared. Tallest Red gripped with panel with both of his arms straight out before him, fingers a pale green from their rough grip with a frown. The two turned their heads towards each other, the purple Tallest angry and the red Tallest upset.
Both opened their mouths at the same time, for one to hiss and the other to claim-
"We can't lose him now."
On Earth Zim slipped to his knees without even knowing what was happening, arm still stretched outwards towards the screen. Instantly he pulled his arm away from the screen when he noticed, hissing to hide his embarrassment from the motion. By the past Tallest, he had nearly begged them to not end the transmission. He disgraceful and disgusting for him to do! To nearly beg for them to not leave him, Zim does not beg!
As soon as his finger tips grazed across his Pak, he automatically pulled his hand away, cradling it like his fingers had been burnt.
Did the Tallests really know best?
