"Fine! I think I will!" I yell, turning the opposite direction. "Oh, and EXCUSE me for caring about myself!" I can feel her roll her eyes behind me. I hate it! I walk the way I came, out of Hell. I mean Tak's base.

When I get home, nothing has really changed. That is, except for everything in my house. The actual only change is that Gir has drssed up the walls with steamers.

"Gir! Take these down!" I yell. Gir just keeps playing with his rubber pig. I hate that too! I HATE EVERYTHING! I HATE TAK, I HATE DIB, I HATE MY LIFE RIGHT NOW! "GIR! I'M GOING TO THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM! DO WHATEVER IT IS YOU DO!" I command, stomping out of the room. I walk upstairs and slam my door so hard that you would hear it all the way across the friggin' galaxy! Its sound is mighty, just like ME!

I sit on my bed, and clutch the pillow tighter than a human's throat. Irk, I hate this sooooo much. I can see the staircase leading to the attic. The only other room with two windows, besides the living room. I decide to go up to the attic. When I get to the top, I look out the side-window. I can see the Tak-beast, watching human TV in her upstairs room. I hate her. I despise her. So why am I perplexed by her?

"Master, why you stalking purply-lady?" I hear Gir behind me. His sudden voice gives me an almost-heart attack. The only other organ in my body besides a squeedly-spooch. Lucky me. I clutch my chest.

"Gir! Holy sh**, don't scare me like that!" I gasp, trying to regain my breath. Then I realize what he just said. "And no, I am NOT stalking Tak! I'm simply watching her every move from a hiding place!" I snap, face blushing slightly.

"Oh, okay." Gir says, walking back downstairs. I sigh with relief and look back out the window. She had gone downstairs again. I slump against the wall. Why must every opportunity I have be ruined? I sigh and close my eyes. I don't want to think about that. I just want to be Zim. Zim needs no Tak. Zim needs no one. No one. Not even another Irken. Much less and Irken who wants to kill Zim! And steal Zim's robot bee! I've lost that thing, and I believe she's responsible! It was Zim's robot bee! Not Tak's! And she is always saying that her disguise is better than mine! So why does everyone fall for mine?! Why does the Tak taunt me?! Why does Tak torment me?!

I find myself saying those last two lines out loud. I sigh and say,

"Why does she stalk the mind of Zim?" I mutter. The attic is cold. But I don't want to move. I just don't. I want to sit here and sleep. But I can't. It sucks.

I sit on my bed, still in my disguise. Well, except for my shirt. It's hot in my room. I keep tossing and turning in my bed. It still sucks.

I'm not sure if I keep dozing off or not. If I do, I think I remember dreams afterwards. But I don't remember what the dreams are about. This is Tak's fault. One stupid move from her is ruining my life even further. It's her fault. She did this to me.

"I hope you're happy." I mutter sarcastically. I hate her.

So why can't I stop thinking about her?
