Chapter 7

ZIA

"Today was amazing, Nina." I said to my new friend.

She smiled at me and said, "I rather enjoyed your birthday as well Miss Zia. Considering I was activated today."

I looked at Nina and said, "Nina, that means today is your birthday too."

We walked into my room and pulled out a box from underneath my bed. I opened it and pulled out a bow. I ran to Nina and tied it on her anttena. I smiled and said, "Happy Birthday Nina."

She touched the light purple bow and asked, "Is this a disguise?"

I laughed and said, "No silly, it a gift."

I thought for a moment and said, "Although you will need a disguise."

I walked over to a computer and typed in a code. A holographic diguise genorator braclet came down from the ceiling. I ran over and locked it on Nina wrist. I tapped buttons on a computer. As I did the hologram switched multiple times, between dogs, cats, fish, pigs, and a duck, till I found one that I liked.

She looked like a little white bunny rabbit, her eyes were the same color as before just a little shinier, the bow remained on top of her head. She looked so sweet.

"Nina, look in the mirror! You look awsome!" I said all giddy.

Nina walked to the mirror and mess around with her ears and fur.

Mom walked in and said, "Zia dinner ready."

She looked over at Nina and said, "A bunny huh? GIR will go nuts."

She laughed and went back into the kicthen. I grabbed Nina's hand. and said, "Let go eat, Nina, then we can go play."

She followed me into the kitchen to where Dad, Mom, and GIR, were sitting down. I pulled up a chair for Nina and got into my chair.

GIR took one look at Nina and said, "It's a BUNNY!" Then proseed to stuff food in his mouth.

As we ate our meal, I noticed Nina wasn't eating.

I looked at her and said, "Nina? Aren't you hungry?"

Dad looked at me and said, "Nina isn't like GIR or Mimi. She doesn't need food."

I sighed and looked to Nina, "Sorry, I didn't know that."

Nina smiled and said, "It's alright Miss Zia. It's how we learn." I laughed.

After finshing my food the computer phone rang. I ran to the other room and yelled, "I'll get it."

I pressed a button and Grandpa appeared on the screen. He had his goggles off and his lab coat button down. His gray hair zig-zag down his back.

He smiled and said, "Hello my little prodigy and happy birthday. Did you like the gift?"

I nodded pulling up my game. "Hey Grandpa, you never guess what I got?"

He laughed and asked, "What did you get?"

I told him about, the voot, the jackets, the headphones, and Nina.

He laughed and said, "Sounds like you had an spectaticular day. Will you be coming down with your father and the Tallest?"

I nodded and said, "Nina will come too."

He smiled and said, "Well that's fantatic, say can you call your father in here?"

I yelled out, "Dad! Grandpa want's to talk to you!"

Dad walked in and said, "Hello sir, what can I do for you?"

Grandpa pulled up a design for some sort of machine and said, "Zim take a look at this design for the new space ship, we can't seem to get the fusion jets to work."

Dad and I looked both at it.

Dad looked at it intently, but as he was about to speak, I interupted him, "It's biopolar matrix, it too big to properly funtion. You need to decrease the size and use a stablizing unit to keep balance."

I smiled as the two grown ups stared at me.

Grandpa asked, "Uhhhhhh Zim is that..."

"Yeah it is." Dad said still staring at me.

Grandpa smiled and said, "I will call back later. Love you sweetie, bye."

The screen went black. Dad knelt down to me and asked, "Um sweetheart? How did you know that?"

I shugged and said, "I don't know, I just saw it and knew."

He rubbed my head and said, "Well my little smarty pants, why don't we go to bed."

I yawned and said, "Ok."

I got into my dad's arms and he carried me to bed.

He sat me down, tucked me in and said, "Sleep well, tomorrow is a big day."

Nina walked in and turned off her diguise. She sat down and went into sleep mode.

I kissed my Dad's cheek and said, "Nighty night Dad."

He smiled and walked out the door. He closed it. I drifted into sleep.


I open my eyes seeing that, I stood in a unfamiliar room with thousands of Irkens in it.

There in the center was my father, beaten and bruised almost to death.

"Dad?" my voice sounded different.

A voice came from the walls of room, "He is a malfutioning irken, therefore he must be destroyed..."

I sceamed, "No!" I ran to the center.

They pulled of his PAK. I sreamed and wave of light came flowing out and the room was gone.

The place I was in now was white empty space, only other thing in the room it was, an old irken man.

The irken approached me and said, " The next Harkon shall appear in 3000 years time, but the power they posses shall rule not one but two worlds. Look for this power in the cross of beings and the mark of light, hidden in the dark."

He removed his glove and showed a small mark that glowed like a star.

He grabbed my hands and ripped off my gloves, revealing the same shining mark on my hands.

He smiled and said, "One shall help, one shall hender. Choose wisely who you trust this gift with. Be weary of the shadows of your past and future, thought they are never certain."

He let go of my hands and said, "Do not ghost of the past haunt your future."

He turned to dust and swirled around me.

Another flash of light happend and I found my self floating in space.

Only seeing two planets, Earth and the other I did not know its name, but it seemed familiar.

I stared in amazment as, a bridge began to form out of stars, leting these little colored lights from both planets fly across.

A purple light flew across back and forth as many times as it could, it enjoyed going the fact it could go to both worlds.

Then a red light apeared staying a the foot of the unknown world. It saw the purple light coming and going. It grew anrgy and flied across knocking off light as it went.

The red light got to the center and banged itself into the bridge. T

he purple tried to stop it but, it shattered the bridge dragging the purple light down with it.

I flew toward the bridge and picked up the stars and put them back in place.

The purple light came back up and it began to shine until it turned white.

I felt whole when I this happend. Like I was meant to do this and help this happen to build this pathway.

I saw the lights swirl around me and they said to me, "Harkon, lady of might. Show us the way, show us the light."

They repeated it over and over until finally, I closed my eyes and felt the feel the embrace of sleep once again.
