Sorry Invader Johnny about my last comment I read something in error. My fault. You're awesome as usual.

So is everyone else. Thanks for the reviews. :)

Tenn studied the young male as she laid on the couch. For almost a week, she had been trying to remember what led her to be trapped for so long. Tenn already knew information on Gaz along with Zim. Their coupling together just like she knew of past couplings. She never understood why she had to know any of that, but perhaps it was a way of torture. Though when it came to finding about Zim and Gaz it became interesting since he was her own species.

She knew Zim before and saw how he expanded himself. He matured. Became far more patient, though when it came to being separated from his mate, he obviously couldn't take it. That made, Tenn curious about Gaz herself. She knew her file, but when she finally got to speak to her face to face, she saw it. She could see why Zim would be attracted to this human. Tenn may of been down in that unit for so long, but she did see females pass through studying her to judge that Gaz was unique in so many ways. Attractive. Heck even Zim being taller lent him some more attractiveness. Even though he wasn't ugly to begin with anyhow. Not that she would of wanted to mate with him in the first place.

The young male though that stood in the window looking out, he was tall with strange hair, like his father. Had a better demeanor than him, though Tenn was still cautious. He may seem nice, and Gaz along with Zim trusted him, but she was wary of him. Especially anytime he came near she had visions of his father getting near her with a knife. That thought made her squirm.

"Does Gir make you nervous or is still me?" Dib asked without turning around.

"I think I can handle one defective robot compared to many of them at the same time." She said looking at her bare claws.

"Then it is me still."

He did have a kind voice compared to his dad. Not the booming voice that reverberated through her containment unit. "You don't blame me for that, do you?"

Turning slightly to look at her, he bowed his head. "No. No, I don't, but I'm not my father even if I was made in his image."

It was explained already he was a clone of him. "Sorry."

"For what?"

"I know you really aren't him, but I just get these images. Images I wish I could erase of them experimenting on me." Tenn responded almost curling away from him.

Dib was seeing the first hand account of experimenting on someone against their will. Something he use to want to do with, Zim so many times before. Guilt racked him just then making him turn to face her. "I really wish I can erase all that from you, but I don't mind listening to you. I like listening." He offered.

Hearing Gir playing with piggies and singing, Dib smiled towards the direction of the commotion before a loud smash was heard. "I will even protect you from that crazy thing." He added.

Smiling at him, Tenn cringed at a high pitch giggle he made. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks."

Laying against him, Gaz did love the feeling of waking up in his arms. They reunited again yesterday, didn't get to sleep until very late since they are both accustomed late birds, and now just laid there with her head on his chest as one arm of his was on top of her arm, with the other now moving up and down her spine. She moaned in contentment.

"Feels nice that you aren't running off, correct?" Zim inquired as he enjoyed her softness against him.

"It feels good in your arms."

She sounded like she was about to drift off again, he thought. "This will be fantastic when we get rid of our problem, and we can spend all the time in the world like this without being forced apart."

Adjusting herself, she moved to lay on top of him. "That'll be nice. Also I don't want to break my contact with you right now so is it a problem if I lay on you like this?"

Kissing her, he ran his claws through her hair. "Never ask that again."

"Then I won't discuss other things."

Giving her a gentle pat on the rear, he smirked at her. "Like what?"

Dib continued talking to Tenn hoping to gain her confidence in him a lot more. To him, he liked her in the short amount of time he met her. He knew she just viewed his father in him right now, so he hoped in time she would like him as much as he liked her.

"My dad always said I was insane." Dib blurted out.

Antenna raising a little, she studied him. "Why would he say that? To me, he's insane."

"Because I have this passion for something different to study. I believe in the Paranormal. The unexplained, and life on other planets." Dib informed her. "To him, it was a bunch of nonsense and it wasn't real."

"That is foolish. Obviously aliens exist. Have you seen any ghosts or anything unexplained?"

Dib liked that she looked interested. "I've seen ghosts before and Bigfoot. Hard to get a picture of him without it looking blurry. One day Bigfoot should get on a rollercoaster with me, and than I'll get a clear picture of him."

"What does that have to do with anything on clear photos?"

"It makes me laugh that a person could use a whole roll of film to film the landscape and take pictures of their family, and all of it turns out clear. But you take one picture of the unexplained... Out of focus. It is annoying. I jest about the rollercoaster because I see all these pictures of these people robbing stores and you can't make out their pictures because they are moving around, but on a rollercoaster regardless on how fast you are moving, you will always have a clear shot." Dib explained. "Okay that might be a bit poor in an explanation, but it is the best I have so far."

Reaching out, she touched his hand. "No, I got it."

Feeling an electrical current running through him from that one touch, he smiled nervously. Tenn was still laying on the couch while he was now sitting beside her on the floor. Looking down after the touch, he was surprised at feeling his scythe on top of his head move. Peaking up, he saw her playing with it with a tiny smile on her face. "Yeah, it is a weird thing I have there."

"Do you style it like this?"

"No. It does it naturally. I try styling it differently, but it is very stubborn." He smiled at her giggling at it. "Having fun?"

"Fascinating. Also soft." Tenn remarked as she fixed her gaze with his. "I like it, but it looks better on you then him."

Eyes closing at those words, Dib almost shut off.

Seeing his mood change from what she said, she decided to be bold by placing her hand on the other side of his face to turn back towards her. "You are better then him. You are your own man."

"Who has his own passions including another one."

"Which is?"

Lifting himself to sit at the side of her on the couch, he leaned down. "Please allow me, Tenn." He pleaded softly as he lifted her chin up.

Tenn's eyes went wider as she saw his mouth approach hers. She wondered how this would feel. Feeling the barest hint of his lips against hers, she instinctively closed her eyes allowing him to do it.

Dib's finger brushed against her chin softly. He pressed his lips against hers. Once again that current went through him as she pressed her lips against his. She tasted nice, but fearing to go any further, he pulled away just to look into her dark pinkish orbs. "I hope I didn't offend you." He whispered gently stroking her cheek now.

While she still had her reservations about him, Tenn couldn't deny how nice that felt. Foreign, but nice. Reaching up, she touched his hair again. "Don't stop talking to me. That might offend me more."

"Oh I saw how he looked at her when I was seeing about her health. What is your concern there?" Zim wondered as he moved his hands up her back.

Eyes closing from that sensation alone, she dipped her head down a bit enjoying how it made her feel before she opened her eyes to notice the fog in her eyes. "I don't want him hurt."

"I know that and you have nothing to worry about her. She is nothing like, Tak."

"I hope not, because I still don't think he is over her. He talked to her ship so often it wasn't funny. I thought there was hope when he reprogrammed it with his own personality." Rolling back onto her back, she stared up at the ceiling only closing one eye a bit at hearing the spastic chaos of Gir from far away.

Rolling to his side, Zim kissed the hollow of her neck. "Never thought I'd be discussing your brother while you are completely naked in front of me."

"Isn't it your job to distract me?" Gaz inquired devilishly as she felt him tickle her. "Oh god, quit it!"

Raising his head up, he gracefully moved on top of her. She wanted him to distract her? Zim will distract her. Zipper tooth on full display, he moved his claws underneath her pale body not letting her know what his next plan of attack would be.

"So you aren't a stranger to other Irkens besides, Zim?" Tenn asked as she sat up more.

Blushing slightly, Dib nodded his head. "I had a crush on, Tak. Didn't know she was an Irken. I liked that she listened to me without treating me like a freak. I knew later she just wanted to get close to me because of Zim. Just to destroy him. Thing is, after I found out what she was, I still couldn't hate her."

"Was it because she wanted to destroy, Zim?"

"I think it was mostly because someone listened to me for once. Really listened without the slightest hint of disgust or something. It felt nice." Leaning back, he turned his gaze outside again.

"Did you kiss her?" She wondered.

"Yes. She initiated it too so at my age I thought that hey she really liked me." Turning to face her again, he asked, "You ever meet her?"

"No. Heard about her though. Never met." Studying the difference between her hand and his, she smirked. "Anybody else in your life?"

"There have been few, but nothing substantial, and since Gaz was sent away I just didn't feel like myself anymore so I concentrated on studies and work."

Leaning closer to him, Tenn took a chance in kissing his cheek before she quickly pulled back. "Sorry, it just seemed to call for that."

"I didn't mind it." Leaning back over to her, he kissed her again.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Gaz grinned at feeling Zim's arms wrapping around her from behind. Nipping at her neck he turned her around to remove her towel just purring at the sight. "Zim." Gaz couldn't help giggling at his display.

"Oh my Gaz you know how make me feel." Enjoying all her beautiful pale skin on display for him, he ran a single digit down the side of her body.

"Mmmhmmm." Ducking away from him, she went to get some clothes to put on. "Chalk bath, Zim, and then later tonight you can have all this all over again."

Growling at her own seductive display as he watched her hand run along her body, he relented by stepping one foot into the bathroom. "Fine, tonight you are all Zim's."

Throwing the last of her clothes on, she smacked his behind. "I'm counting on it." Winking at him, she left their quarters having to automatically jump over Gir as he sped along the corridor. Not even looking back to see where exactly where he was heading, Gaz continued walking to the kitchen to grab some bread to eat, and wandered into the common room to find her brother and Tenn lip locking. Smirking, she turned back around to head back to the kitchen to get something to drink now.

When ten minutes went by, Dib walked into the kitchen to grab something to drink while Gaz still sat there gripping her mug. Watching him pour the coffee in a nearby mug, she asked in a playful tone, "Whatcha doing?"

"What?"

Waiting till he joined her at the table, she said, "I saw what you and Tenn were doing. I guess you like her. I knew it."

"You like, Zim. You don't see me teasing you."

"Nope because you know we are both trained killers."

Glancing at his sister she gave him a playful wink, he slapped her butt. "Brat. You wouldn't do that to me."

"Nope. She's cute. Tenn. I just hope she doesn't hurt your feelings like Tak did."

Shrugging, he took a sip of his coffee. "I was young then though so that was more of a crush. Tenn does have a softer side to her that I like."

"Yes. I can see that." Gaz teased at him again.

Rolling his eyes at her, Dib continued drinking his coffee. "It's good to have you back."

"Not back fully, but this is nice right now."

From there they enjoyed their own comfortable silence even if Dib wouldn't of minded her pulling out her Game Slave to play with right now.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." Squealed Gir on the way past both siblings without even phasing them one ounce.
