I clung to the tree, trying not to make any sort of noise.

"You idiot!" the taller one yelled at the small one slapping him across the face. "I should have known better than sending someone as short as you." He growled.

The short one cowered in fear covering his face. "I'm sorry Master Zim… it won't happen again." He whimpered.

That voice… why did it sound so familiar? I shook my head. I should stay focused on not getting caught.

Slowly I started to climb higher in the tree until I reached a branch that was strong enough to hold my weight and sat on it, leaning against the tree itself as I looked down at the two of 'Them'.

"You're lucky I need you." The taller one growled at the short one.

The short one started to quiver in fear. "I'm sorry Master Zim." He repeated, trying to stand his ground.

That voice ran warning bells through my head, but I was way too nervous to actually remember where I heard it from.

The two aliens started to walk in the direction of the district and I let out a sigh of relief, I wasn't caught.

From where I sat I could see everything, especially that big space ship, it was a deep shade of purple. Through the windshield I could see a whole bunch of buttons and flashing lights.

I looked back at where the aliens were marching off to and then back at the ship. They would never know.

I bit down on my lip and slowly climbed down the tree, making sure not to make any sort of sound that would call the attention of 'them'.

With a sigh of relief my feet touched the ground. I looked back in the direction that the aliens went and saw that they had disappeared; they probably made it back to the district.

I turned the other way and walked in the direction of the alien space ship turning back every once in a while to make sure that I wasn't being watched.

I stopped when I reached the ship… it was beautiful. My hand started to tremble as I reached out to touch it. It was cold, but smooth. I let my fingers slide across the cold metal walking around the ship a small smile on my face.

I hugged it, I had no idea why but… it seemed so… welcoming.

I heard a thump inside of the ship and froze. I took a step back, my eyes wide.

"Intruder!" a small robot yelled jumping out of the space ship.

"I…" I wanted to say something but as I backed away I tripped over a tree root that was sticking out of the ground.

The little robot pounced on my head, grabbing at my hair. "Let go of me!" I exclaimed rolling around.

"Weee!" it yelled out, not letting go of my hair.

I stopped rolling around and got up yanking it away from my hair and throwing it back to the space ship.

It started to laugh as it hit the ground and shook its head. "Where you goin?" it asked as it saw me starting to speed walk away.

I didn't respond, I didn't want to get caught by 'Them.'

"Friend! Wait!" it screeched.

I looked back to see that it was gaining up on me. I started to run in the other direction, completely lost at this point, damn my curiosity.

"Friend!" it yelled out again, running after me.

I heard the rush of water again, with a smile I rushed in that direction.

I looked back to see that the little robot was gone.

I slowed down and kneeled next to the little river and reached out into it, trying to relax.

"Lady? What are you doin?" I heard the little robot screech from beside me.

"Ah!" I screeched, startled enough that I was about to fall into the river if it weren't for the little robot reaching out and pulling me back.

I looked back at it with curiosity.

It quietly stared back and waved. "Hello!" It screeched.

"Gir!" I heard someone yell.

My eyes widened and I stood up quickly to see the tall alien.

The alien stared back at me. "What are you doing with Gir?" it growled at me, the short one cowering behind it.
