um...well, this fic is getting weird, in my old fanfics Phelpha was a calm, collected and sincere irken but now she's just kinda...different, I had no intention of her getting more care free as she got older.
hmmmm...the name of this fic is weird too, because romance will not happen till later chapters, and this is my first shot at a sappy fic. come to think of it this is my first shot at a sequel too. um...i did a prequel once, does that count? oh well...
just read, or something

Rosette quickly finished polishing her nails, Dib would be here soon and tonight was the night-the night she would capture Dib. she knew the plan by heart-give Dib a reason to come to the back of the ship, and Tak would take care of the rest. It was simple in her part, and what a reward she got!
Rosette glanced in the mirror and smiled, she loved her smile, her teeth used to be so ugly, she used to turn around the second she looked in a mirror, but NOW...now perfection was a night in the woods away.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door,"come in" Rosette said, she knew it was Dib, but she had told him to come early tonight. Just so it would be done quicker.
why didn't I just tell him to skip skool,Rosette thought,he would have and it would've been quicker.
Dib walked in,"hi Rosette"
"hey, I thought that before Mysterious Mysteries is on we could go for a walk in the woods"
Dib looked out the window, it was dark and cold out but...."sure" he said, against his better judgement
Zim quickly worked in his base, it was the night, the night Tak would try conquest.
"errr, this would be much faster if someone would help me" Zim complained,"no...Invaders need NO ONE!!" Zim continued his work.
"what are we trying to find?" Dib asked, he had been out in the woods with Rosette for a while.
"over here" she screamed,"I think I found a sesquish!"
"a sasquash!"
"yeah...whatever, just come here"
Dib ran over to Rosette, but he didn't see her, or a sasquash. but he didn't have much time to look, because a beam transported him onto a ship.
"DIB!!!!" Rosette screamed from the back of the ship,"DIB!!!! COME HERE!!!!!"
Dib obediently ran to the back of the ship,"ROSETTE! ARE YOU OKAY!" He screamed
Rosette walked in. She just stood there, she had a blank expression on her face.
"Rosette! you're okay!" Dib walked over to her, but she just walked away.
She opened her mouth slowly,"gotcha" she said, without any expression.
"huh?" Dib gave her a weird look, he was about to walk over to her but suddenly bars shot up from all around him, and he was trapped.
"good work Rosette" Tak entered the room.
"thanks, I have something to discuss"
"what?"
"um...well...my grade in science is a B+..."
"consider it done"
"you're the greatest Tak!" Rosette said.
"what's going on!" Dib demanded
"oh, you don't know yet do you?" Tak said playfully
"TELL ME!" Dib screamed
"I might as well, you see, in order to conquest the earth I found one thing in my way-paranormal investigators"
"YES!" Dib said
"maybe it's success for you, but I studied my plan from last time, for hours and found out what went wrong, Zim had HUMANS helping him! that's pathetic!! Humans helping an Irken!!"
"ahem" Rosette cleared her throat
"uh...yes...anyways, I realized that if I eliminated a few humans before my conquest nothing could go wrong, so I got Rosette to take care of you, and in return I gave her anything she craved"
"one request per night til conquest" Rosette said, like a poem she had memorized.
"okay, you've got me, but Gaz won't stand for this" Dib said
"oh, yes, that would be a problem if she wasn't up in her room defending her puppy" Tak corrected
"well...NIKIA! she'd never let you conquest the Earth!"
Tak laughed,"did you forget? you take care of her for me!" a giant screen in front of Dib turned on, it showed Nikia lying in her bed, shaking, and muttering 'no...can't let dib die...no...can't kill Rosette...' over and over again
Dib's jaw hung open, he couldn't believe it! Nikia had been driven insane...
Tak smiled at the screen,"it's a good thing Rosette's first request was beauty, you fell for it, fell like a cheap plastic...uh...thing"
"that was smooth" Rosette rolled her eyes
"oh shut up, he'll die soon anyways" Tak said
"NO!!!!" Dib screamed at the image,"I DIDN'T DO THIS!!!!"
"of course you did, you trusted Rosette cause she was pretty, and smart, and completely involved in paranormal studies, where as Nikia..." Tak laughed again.
Rosette smiled evily, then she turned to Dib,"you are so pathetic, I know you for two hours and you're ready to trust me with your life!!"
"NO!!! I'M NOT THAT SHALLOW!!!!" Dib screamed
"look at the screen Dib, of course you are!!" Tak said, when suddenly Zim burst into the ship.
"AHA!!!" Zim screamed,"I've got you now!"
"yeah right" Tak said, and then bars shot up all around Zim trapping him
"WHAT IS THIS!" Zim screamed
"let's put it this way Zim, I don't give up, I always study my mistakes and learn from them!!" Tak screamed,"also...Phelpha"
"huh? who's Phelpha?" Zim asked
"ME!!" Phelpha screamed when she entered the room
Zim looked at her, she was Irken, blue eyes, curves anteneas, small eyelashes, tall boots, nothing about her rang a bell.
"remember me?" Phelpha looked at Zim weird
"um....no"
"I'M PHELPHA!!!"
"this could get ugly" Rosette whispered to Tak
Tak nodded, and then she motioned Rosette out of the room.
"um...." Zim stuttered
"I'm Tak's best friend!"
Zim just shrugged
"Invader Training school!"
Zim tilted his head.
"I had a huge crush on you!!!"
"hmmm..." Zim squinted,"oh yeah, Phelpha"
"YES ME! Phelpha, the one who loved you, the one who knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with you! the one that you overlooked!"
"huh?" Zim asked
"you could have had me! but you chose that Earth girl!!"
"hmm?"
"Dib's sister!"
"Gaz?" Dib said in a confused voice
"YES!!" Phelpha raged,"HER!!"
"what about her?" Zim asked
"you decided to love her!!"
"no, not really"
"LIAR!!"
"no, really, I don't love her, I hardly ever see her"
"hardly ever see her?"
"no, that's not what I meant, I mean, she's just someone i know, not even, I didn't know her name until now"
"oh come on! I can see under your lies!!"
"what lies?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!! now, I have to kill you" Phelpha said
a look of panic overtook Zim's face.
"goodbye, forever" Phelpha said, boiling with anger as she left the room.
"this sucks" Dib said
"yes, yes it does" Zim said
"wait, if I can discretely break down one of these bars I should be able to slip through" Dib rummaged around through his pockets,"I've got a pen, my membership card, a nickel, and a Jolly Rancher"
"hmmm, I have this tracking system"
"what are you tracking?"
"you, and I have a miscellanious use gadget, and this note from Gir" Zim sighed and opened the note,
HI MASTER!!
I sended you a card to make you happy!!!
luv Gir!!!
Zim shook his head.
"oh well" Zim unleashed his spidey legs and began using them to saw through the bars
"great!" Dib said when he saw Dib was free,"now do mine"
Zim looked at Dib and laughed,"I always wanted to destroy you, now I will" Zim laughed and his spidey legs shot back in his backpack thing and he walked out of the room, laughing.
Dib shook the bars wildly, then he grabbed his swollen eyeball membership card and began sawing it against the bars, thinking it might break. eventually he got it a bit through the bar, and then he stabbed the cut he made with the pen. He gave up with that and just kicked the bar. to his shock it fell down
"wow" Dib said,"that was unexpected" he ran down the hall to the control room.
Rosette and Tak and Phelpha were there, they all were looking out the main window, Dib saw the destruction, he saw that they were awaiting it.
Then he reached in his pocket, he'd accidently grabbed Zim's 'miscellanious use gadget' thing, he looked at it
there's hope, he thought,I can use this thing to steer the ship around, and then I can have it self destruct. Quickly he took control over the ship.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!" Tak screamed
"don't ask me" Rosette said, very confused and in panic
"it's Dib" Phelpha said, and she ran over to him and broke his device,"nice try, good thing i was prepared for this" Phelpha smiled smugly
"you can't do this!" Dib screamed
"oh yeah?" Rosette said evily
"ROSETTE! you can't honestly want the earth destroyed!"
"eh, the human race wasn't going to go on forever, might as well die a cool death"
"you should have just excepted your fate" Tak said
"NO! as long as I can let the human race prevail it's worth it! oh, it's worth it!"
"nonsense" Rosette said,"even if the human race does go on everyone will think you're crazy! they'll call you crazy forever!! and you want them to survive?"
Dib hesitated, he didn't know...
"think about it" Tak said,"they'd all suffer and you could just look at them and say'I told you so'"
the thought invaded Dib's mind
"and they'd be running to you for help! and you could just wave them away" Phelpha said
Dib wanted to say yes, the words were burning at the inside of his throat, but he kept them out. Because one day he would save mankind and then they would be running back to say sorry, that's what he wanted, not destruction.
"no" Dib said strictly
"too bad" Tak said, she unleashed a trap door and Dib went falling down to earth, at least ten feet.
Dib screamed and screamed, I'm going to die, he thought.
