"She's been alone for two years with nothing but Mimi. I'm pretty sure she'll be happy to see us. And once we tell her that we've come to take her back to Earth to Gaz, I bet she'll be happy. But will she even love Gaz any more? It's been two years." I said, worried about my sister's potential heartbreak.
"Irkens are very reliable in their emotions. We do not change our feelings easily." Zim said. It was true, from what I had seen.
"Good. I don't want Gaz getting hurt." I said truthfully. My sister was as everyone else saw her-mean and uncaring. But I had known Gaz when she still hugged me every day and I held her when she cried or when she had nightmares. They saw the mean Gaz. I saw my sister. The sister I taught to ride a bike, taught to count, taught to button up her own coat.
"I'm not anxious for the return of Tak to Earth. I think that instead of monitoring her, we shall pose a deal with her." Zim suggested, cocking his head slightly to the side and folding his arms behind him. It looked innosent from the outside, but I could tell he was unaware of what he was doing and more with his thoughts.
"What were you thinking about? How are we going to warn her?" Right now we seemed like comrades, together with a goal in mind and a plan in the works.
"Tak loves Gaz. Tak has obviously not liked being blown into space. I say that if we find out she's planning anything against us or to destroy Earth, she's be shot into space no matter what Gaz says."
"I'll-I'll go tell Gaz that." I shuttered. Gaz would kill me if I even dared to reshoot Tak back into space.
"Or, better yet, I have another idea. Tak landed on Venus with her Voot Cruiser. The communication device on her Voot was not destroyed. It can still recieve signals, and, given how barren of shelter Venus is, she will most likely be using it as a shelter."
"So we can talk to her using it?"
"Exactly. Apperently you are not the stupid hyooman I once took you for. I was thinking that we could talk to Tak and tell her we're coming so Tak doesn't destroy us when we come into her sight."
"Better yet, suprise her. See if she has any plans aboard her Voot Cruiser that point to her wanting to harm us."
"I could hack the communication device allowing us to see around the inside of the Voot." It took Zim only minutes to hack the system, and it further raised my hopes that Tak still loved Gaz when her password was "Gazlene" Her ship was almost the same as Zim's, except with a the same purple as her eyes as an accent to the silver metal instead of pink. Tak was sitting at her chair, with Mimi in her lap, as a cat. Tak was looking at a picture of Gaz, then sighed. Mimi shed her holographic cat disguise and now looked more like Gir, except more advanced. Mimi frowned and hoopped off of Tak's lap.
"Stop mooning after that human, Master. You wish to be an Invader, Tak, do you not?"
"Yes, Mimi, I do. You know that." Tak said, still staring at the picture of Gaz.
"Do you know what the Tallest will do if they find out that one of the most promising Irkens to ever be put into training has fallen in love? But not only have you fallen in love, but to someone outside your species. To a GIRL, no less! When Irkens still mated all those years ago, they fell in love with the other sex, not their own! You and Gaz, although being different species, are both female. Females do not mate. They do not love each other. But a human!"
"I don't want to hear this again, Mimi." Tak said, but Mimi ignored her.
"Look at human morals! They have none! To them it is acceptable to love another of your own sex. You were raised by your Computer, just as every other Irken smeet, yet you show none of the results of it! You should have been created human, not Irken! You are more like their species than yours!" Tak finally reacted to her words. Tak backhanded her from her spot on her chair, then got up.
"You go too far, Mimi. Remember who is the master here. You, Mimi, are a robot. May be I don't act like an Irken should, but I don't want to! Yes, I know that Irkens are not supposed to love another of their sex, much less someone their sex of another species, but I do."
"It's been two years. Shouldn't you at least move on? We will probably never be able to get back to Earth. You'll probably never see Gaz for the rest of your years. Besides, you can never truely love her. Her brother would kill you, have you autopsied. ZIm wouldn't take too kindly to you either."
