So any one got any ideas for the song on this? What song did you listen to when someone broke up
with you? I listened to Official Breakup Song by Aly &AJ. But the song here is by the Frey
Song: Over my Head. Or Numb.
Everybody Knows I'm in Over my Head/ I can't Feel you there (Zim)
I looked around when my Pak was done recharging. About 5 days ago Tak reminded me about our
betrothal. Today I'm going to say good bye to everything on Devastis. Well Except Tak.
I saw the door open on my chamber. It was Tak. "Hi Tak." I said to her. She nodded and walked in.
"Hi Zim." She said smiling. "So can you wait tomorrow we'll be invaders!" I said. "or in a year if we
even qualified." She said rolling her eyes. I smiled. " Of course." I said. I know she never had faith in
me to be an invader. "You know Zim I can't wait for the week after that" She said getting too close to
me. "Of course you can't wait to be betrothed to me." I said. She smiled. "Of course I can't" She said.
ACTUALLY MEANING IT. "Tak I'm going to get some air" I said walking out. "Well okay. Be back!"
She called. I ran far out. "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I like people to praise me, but that
coming from HER, that was horrifying. I looked around. I wonder if Tallest Red will visit me and see
me do my test. Probably not. "It's probably nothing, I am Zim." I muttered to myself. "You're a Defect"
One of the other Irkens in my test group muttered as he walked by. I looked around. Then I sighed.
Probably just my mind trying to get me killed...Again. I smiled, Tak and me together. I wonder if
Computer still has my sketch book. "Hi Zim." Skoodge said as he saw me. I glared. Skoodge...
"What's up buddy?" He asked. "Ah, nothing" I said. "Ah, female trouble." Skoodge said as if he
actually ever had experience in that. "How did you know?" I asked. "It's your tone we've been friends
as long as I can remember" He said. "We have?" I asked. I never remember being friends with
Skoodge. "Yes! I'm your impressionable mind!" He said. "Of that's right!" I lied. Honestly I can't
remember what happened beyond the... Spork incident. "I knew you'd recognize me buddy!" He said.
"So what female are ya having trouble with?" He asked. "You have any knowledge?" I asked. "Of
course! See?" He said pulling out pictures of him with about 100 different females none of whom were
Irken. "I see, any Irken females?" I asked. "Er..." "Exactly." I said. "So who are you having problems
with?" Skoodge asked. "Tak, I'm betrothing her." I told him. "You're getting Made! Good job buddy!"I
stared. He talked so oddly. "Well she seems to be getting Clingy" I told him. "That's how I lost my 100
girlfriends" Skoodge said. "Okay..." I said. "Well if a female gets clingy leave her." Skoodge said.
"What? Skoodge, Tak is the only thing I love even nearly as much as myself!" I said. "Love is a strong
word my friend. You may like her, but not love, that takes hundreds of years" Skoodge said. "But we
only live for 700 years" I told him. "Exactly. Irkens don't love." Skoodge told me. I stared. "And they
all left you? I can't imagine why" I said sarcastically. Skoodge stared. "Well there's Tenn." He said. I
glared. "So she's the only Irken Female you've ever talked to?" I asked. He nodded. "Then why am I
asking your advice?" I asked. "I'm stupid." "I know." I replied. Then Tenn walked by. "Hi short-stop
hi Skoodge" She said. "Hi." Skoodge said. I glared at her, after what she did to Tak I'll never forgive
her. "Aren't you going to say anything to me short-stop?" She asked. "Not after what you did to Tak." I
hissed. "Fine listen" She said sitting down. "It wasn't anything personal it was for research"She told
me. "Research my foot you were trying to kill her." I hissed. "Short-stop..." Then She was knocked to
the ground by another female. Tak. "Stay away from Zim you Fly" She hissed. Tenn looked surprised
to see Tak. I did too. "Zim we need to talk." Tak hissed walking up to me. I turned and saw Skoodge
staring scared witless. "You must be Tak. Zim told me about you." Skoodge said. "Yes I'm Tak." She
hissed. "Have fun with your girlfriend" He said walking off. I ducked and avoided a slap. "Only
Girlfriend? Zim I'm going to be your spouse!" She hissed. "I know that! You've been telling me for the
past week" I told her. "apparently not enough! Who was that lady?" She asked. "Tenn she was the
nurse that helped me save your life" I told her. I didn't want her to kill Tenn. "So this has been going
on ever since that happened?" She asked. "Nothing was going on." I told her. "Of course nothing was
you were nearly holding her hand!" She hissed. "Tak nothing would have happened." I told her. "I've
waited 50 years for next week and I find you with this fly?" She demanded. "Tak, I would never do
that" I told her losing my patience. "Then just apologize and I'll understand!" She said. "Apologize for
what? Nothing happened!" I yelled. She looked away. "Listen Zim stop fighting just say you're sorry
and I'll forget this ever happened" Tak said. "No. Nothing happened!" I hissed. "Listen Tak! If you
can't trust me then..." I sighed. "Zim... no." She pleaded. "I can't believe I'm saying this." I muttered.
"Saying what?" She asked. "Tak. Betrothal is about trust and if you can't trust me..." I said sighing.
"If you're trying to say something just come out with it." She said tearing up. "I'm sorry Tak, it's over."
I told her. She stared at me for a second taking it all in. "They are right though you are defective! We
all know that!" She hissed and ran off. "Wow. That was freaky. So Zim..." Tenn started. "No. Whatever
you are going to say no." I hissed and walked off.
Devastis Incident, Day before. (Tak)
I ran back to my chamber crying. "Whoa Tak!" One of my friends said surprised. Her name was
Mermm. "Are you crying?" She asked. She had Black eyes. "My betrothed just left me!" I yelled.
"The Defect?" She asked. "Yes." I said quietly. "Why did he leave you?" She asked. "For Tenn! I found
them talking and nearly holding hands and..." I started to wail. "Miyuki! Tak! Dignity!" She yelled.
"He said I didn't trust him so we couldn't be together." I nodded. "He wasn't worth it Tak" She told me.
"I know, but we have known each other since we were smeets" I said. "You are Tak. You'll be better
than Zim could ever be." She told me. "You're right I'll be better than any Defect!" I said. "He can be
with Tenn, no matter how much prettier she may be than you, and how she doesn't have the implant..."
She started. I cried. "I'll never find someone better than Zim though!" I cried. "Aw... Yes you will!" I
smiled. "So have you and Zoro have spats?" I asked. "No. We have always been together and..." She
sighed as I teared up. "I'll see if I can find you someone better." She told me. "Maybe you can talk to
Skoodge get Zim jealous." She whispered. I smiled. "Of course. Oh Skoodge!" I called. He ran in.
"Yes eh... Tak?" He asked. "Skoodge, Zim left me. Can you help me a little?" I asked. He nodded.
"Wait Zim left you? Was it something you did?" He asked. "Because he was talking to me about how
Clingy you were getting and I didn't want to give him the" I shoved a snack in his mouth. "Worst plan
ever" I told Mermm.
I looked out at Eurona and thought about what it will be like to not have my life long friend by my
side. "Well at least Zim the Cheater is having fun with his fly."
At Zim's Chamber
I looked away in to the stars. Skoodge walked in on me. "Eh? Skoodge?" I asked. "Hi I talked to Tak
she shoved a snack in my face" He said. "I can see by your stained shirt" I told him. "Still thinking
of her?" He asked. "Of course! She was my life long friend! And now I can't ever see her again" I said
sadly. "You'll meet other females" Skoodge told me. "Tallest Purple told me once, I didn't like any of
them" I said. "Why don't you like Tenn I mean she's flawless!" Skoodge told me. "Yes there is one flaw
she isn't Tak!" I hissed. "Taks hurt! Tenn is a lucky number!" Skoodge told me. "You've never really
fallen in love before. It makes the world melt away and it doesn't matter if you're defective, Virken,
or heck even a different species!" I said. Skoodge listened. "And that feeling never stops" I told him.
"You need a snack." Skoodge said. "I know if I'm giving cruddy speeches then yes I need a snack" I
told him and walked off.
Dun Dun Dun! So we see where this is headed. Poor Tak. Who do you feel more sorry for Tak, Zim, or
Skoodge. Oh and the origin of the Stain! But still poor Tak! I mean two bad things!
