If you don't know this by now, my Miyuki you're slow, I DON'T OWN INVADER ZIM!!

It had been a few hours since Dib and Tak made their escape from the Meekrob, but they were far, very far, from their murderous wrath just yet. It was a miracle that they managed to get away, considering how close they were to them. As the ship floated along in space, Dib stared blankly off into the blackness wondering what else would happen to him and Tak next and hoped nothing else could go wrong in their lives. Mainly if anything were to happen to the child. Tak, and his child, meant the world to him and if anything were to happen to either of them, he could not live with himself for it. As he sat in thought, he looked from his ring to Tak's and then back to his. We're together forever, no matter what others may think. Dib thought as he pressed Autopilot and crept closer to Tak.

Tak was sitting near Dib planning on what they needed to do next and how they were going to get by. She looked up and noticed Dib and took his hand, "Dib I hope our child takes after you." She said as she reached up to stroke Dib's scythe-hair.

Dib's eyes widened in astonishment. "Why?" He asked. He never thought of himself as to be anything special; just an average guy with a big head and weird hair.

"Why? I'll tell you why….well it's a few reasons. The main one being that if our child was to take after you, then it won't need a Pak; I've been developing some just in case however. Two is that you're a sweet kind smart and caring and handsome." Tak giggled at the last reason. "Why else would I have laid with you in the first place? I'm an Irken with standards you know."

"I know you are Tak; that is a reason why I love you. You have dignity and you are clever. You don't sell yourself out to anyone. And of course who can forget how beautiful your purple eyes are. You can turn off your disguise, the Meekrob can see through it anyway. That and they don't seem to be fooled very easily. They know what I look like as well. Besides, I think you're beautiful without your disguise. "Dib said as he kissed Tak and turned off the disguise.

"That's another thing, we need to work out. We know what region we're going to but which planet?" Tak asked.

Dib pondered this then asked, "Which one is the safest? I mean has the best relations with the Irkens?"

"You don't know how few of those there are. Well there are 3 planets that are on okay relations with Irk. They are Sasoria, Novenian, and Autumonizak. The best one is Sasoria. The climate is nice and it is very Zen and harmonious. You know what, that's where we're going and that's final." Tak said as she went to the autopilot.

"What are you doing Tak?" Dib asked with an eyebrow raised.

"What does it look like? I'm setting the navigation to Sasoria. They are very much for protecting others from the Meekrob. They see them as pompous, arrogant and willing to use others for their dirty work." Tak mumbled. "There, we should be on course now."

As the ship soared along in space, Dib thought of the August night when the Meekrob gave him the powers. At that time he was behind them all the way; he wanted to fight the Irkens with them. After deep reflection he was only worried about Zim. Now his blind sightedness got him into a world of trouble. And he knew it was only going to get worse from there.

The Meekrob were looking on the scene Dib and Tak left in horror. "We missed! How could we? Meekrrobs never miss their targets!" Chowfun yelled.

"Well we have to go after them then. No mission ever is failed. We will find them. We chose that human to finish the Irkens because humans are inferior species. They won't suspect him at all." Lomein said as he turned away. "The Irkens must have known what we've done.

"So that is why they had that female seduce him, a distraction." Chowfun said as he followed Lomein. This is bad. Very bad. Our only hope to defeat the Irkens is along with them.

"Yes. She had a very attractive human disguise. That disguise of hers was one that no human male could not be attracted to." Lomein assured him. "Now where would they go?"

"Lomein that is the stupidest question ever! They would be going to Irk of course. They want to trap us there." Chowfun yelled as he smacked him.

Lomein looked back in shock from Chowfun's assault. Irk was too obvious. Lomein thought as he stared at Chowfun as they floated along into space. The ship they escaped in was an Irken's but they could go somewhere else. The Meekrob and Irkens were the two big empires in the galactic arena. After Chowfun smacked him, Lomein was not too deeply passionate for either side. Each one had its own problems and troubles but Meekrob was acting as bad as the Irkens using the race that most others thought as inferior.

"Look at the recent records of what we have on the chosen one. The powers we gave him look into his mind without him knowing it." Chowfun yelled at him in anger. The Meekrob were determined not to lose to the Irkens.

"Fine captain." Lomein sighed. "Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Beijing Lomein chanted to access Dib's memories. Once they were brought up he chanted again, "Fujiwara Chiaki!"

"Excellent! Now to access the memories." Chowfun said. The events of the past few weeks played before him. He scanned for the point where Dib and Tak's relationship deepened to the passion it had when they attacked. There was no verbal response in the memory but Chowfun was excellent at reading lips. He went to the memory of the Fall Harvest Dance. It didn't seem too contradictory to his belief that Tak was just seducing Dib, especially at the memory of Tak's alluring position on Dib's bed. Then the memory of when they expressed their love, made Chowfun come to a startling conclusion. Maybe he was wrong in the idea that Tak was seducing Dib. What really influenced the change was the memory of Tak telling Dib she was pregnant soon after.

"Chowfun, what is it?" Lomein asked.

"I maybe wrong but neither side planned this out of spite. The Irkens wouldn't allow the temptress to become pregnant." Chowfun said in shock. "Well this crime is more severe."

Lomein looked on and nodded. He understood all too well. Their gift was mixing with their enemy's DNA. With Dib's human DNA to act as a buffer guard, it would hardly harm the child at all. The Meekrob's gift was in genetic alteration and was not removable. "Maybe there was another way we could have given him the gift?"

"No. There was no other way and you know that one fool. You were the only one who could do the spell properly in the first place! Anyway, it's too late now. This must be the reason they aren't going to Irk. Yet….." Chowfun said as he revisited the theory that the Irkens were behind the relationship in the first place, so they could bring down the Meekrob Empire and annex it to theirs. Chowfun would rather die than let anything happen to the Meekrob. Lomein was looking on for an explanation.

"Yet what?" Lomein asked in an annoyed way.

"Maybe they wanted this to happen…. Maybe they planed to take our superior gift to make a new breed of super-Irkens that could…. And by using Dib they'd….." Chowfun said in an insane panic.

"Listen to yourself! You're going insane!" Lomein yelled telepathically as he took Chowfun and shook him. "Now come on. We have work to do." He said as they followed the slight trail left by Tak's ship.

"PROXIMITY WARNING! Planet Sasoria is ahead. Preparing landing procedures!" Dib had fallen asleep during the flight and the loud warning sent him out of his torpor. Tak stirred awake as she heard the warning as well and looked up at Dib and smiled. He looked to her and smiled as well. They thought that as they headed to Sasoria things would get better.

"Sasoria!" Dib yelled as he looked out the window. The planet was peaceful and pleasant even to the eye itself. "It just looks so; I can't find another word for it, clean. A real relief from how Earth's gotten."

"That place really lived up to its name. Earth is a synonym for dirt in your language. Well planets named after dirt become that way." Tak said as she recalled her days on planet Dirt. "Sasorians are known for their dedication to their planet's natural beauty and balance. Now they aren't big fans of what Irk has done but nor are they of Meekrob. They only slightly consider Irkens better is because we send our own Invaders to do our dirty work. They consider that a little less descipicable then taking someone of an inferior race to do the work while they stand on and watch." Tak said as Dib looked crestfallen at the "inferior race" comment. "Oh! No offence Dibby-darling!" Tak said apologetically as a determined look came across her face.

"That's okay. Hell, even I think most of the human race are idiots. Like with the fact they couldn't tell Zim is an alien." Dib mumbled. Then a smile came on his face and he leaned back in the ship as it was landing. "Our troubles may very well be over here soon." He said as he sat up. Once on the planet he was going to establish a place where they were going to live and could safely raise their family with Tak.

"Dib, you know I will not be some little dainty house maid while you go out and play, "man of the house" all day. We are going to have equal roles in this you know. This child I have in me is both of ours. It took both of us to make our "miracle" as you called it so I am not going to be the only one involved in raising her!" Tak said as the ship landed. Dib held back the question, "How do you know it's a girl?"

"Of course you won't! I know you'd never allow it anyway." Dib said feebly as a smile came across Tak's face.

"Well all that aside, we have landed." Tak said as she stepped out of the ship gracefully so that Dib was amazed that she did in the condition she was in. The cool temperate fresh scented breeze blew across Dib's face as he took a deep breath. It was the cleanest air he had breathed in in his whole life. It made him feel better and a little more at peace inside.

"Greetings from Sasoria. I am Pequility, leader of the Sasorians. You two would be…" Pequility said as he nodded as his hair that looked like wisteria flowers blew in the breeze.

Tak took charge before anyone could say anything and preformed a universal greeting of introduction. "Tak of the Irkens with her amore, as you Sasorians prefer that term to mate, Dib Membrane of the Humans. Our rings, so you know symbolize our love for each other. This love has also produced a child together and because of this we are fleeing from the Meekrob who tried to use Dib as one of their pawns. We humbly ask for sanctuary from you on this planet." Tak had learned the customary method of greeting as she asked for help in fulfilling her 'promises'.

"Tak, Dib Membrane, we will grant your request. We believe that no needy being should ever be turned away when they are being used and hunted like animals." Pequility said nodding as Chowfun and Lomein spied on them.

"Should we attack now?" Lomein asked.

"No. Wait 7 months, seeing as Sasoria's time is similar to Earth's, then we will see how these offspring turn out." Chowfun smirked. "They don't know it now, but they are expecting twins."

"Your mercy is awesome." Dib said trying to start off on good terms with the Sasorians.

"Are you kidding?" Pequility said dropping his formality. "We want to stop Meekrob. Irk was so many internal problems, so we aren't worried about them, they're no threat. Sorry Madam Tak if that offended you."

"No offence taken." Tak smiled.

"First thing's first, we make sure your child is okay after that adventure. New life deserves the best." Pequility said summoning a few medics.
