Oooooh my God, here it is! Something you all didn't see coming :O But, it's important for the next bit of the story.

If you guys are curious where the title came from, you can go to Youtube and type in "Never wanted to Dance by Mindless Self Indulgence". MAKE SURE ITS THE REMIXED ONE! Its actually the first one to come up, because its actually better than the original. If you do listen to the original, it doesn't matter, it still kinda fits in with what's going on in this chapter (I do apologize now for the hidious swearing...but I did rate this M for a reason)

Hope you enjoy :o

Zim leant against the railing, his arms resting on it carefully. He was looking out a beautiful, still lake before him. The hairs of his wig rustled in the wind as a light breeze brushed past him.

He stood on this patio outside, which lead out from the main hall, his thoughts gathering up inside him. He knew Tak was up to something. She had to be. She had tried years ago to kill Zim and Dib. Why now is Dib marrying her? Has that much changed since he had been gone? No, she had to be up to something.

He watched as a few fireflies danced along the lake, remembering his daughter's golden eyes. How scared they were. How she wished Tak would just let go of her. Zim turned away from the lake, leaning against it from the back now, his arms folded. That's why Gaz needed him here. It was now making sense. Gaz in the past would have never been this kind to him. To offer him food, clothing and a place to stay. She needed him…to help Hope at least. He looked down. "How everyone is just using everyone," he laughed to himself, "It would be hilarious if I wasn't involved in this."

His hands fell as he looked up, a slim figure nearing him from the door. His body stiffened as he looked up at Tak, glaring at her. She came and stood in front of him, her dark scarlet dress dragging along the floor. Her dark blue hair shone in the moonlight. It was done up for such a special occasion. "That was quite rude of you to just leave like that, Zim," she said in her normal tone.

Zim glared at her, "Wasn't that big of an event to me. I just felt like some air."

She looked at him, her facial expression changing to one of slyness, "You know, Zim. I don't know what you're thinking, but you have no reason to be so suspicious of us."

His glare deepened, "Oh really?"

She walked around him, the cunningness of her eyes growing, "Dib and I have been seeing one another for a while now, Zim. He really needed someone there for him after you abandoned him and you smeet…"

"I didn't abandon them!" he sneered at her, following her in a circle.

"That's not what Dib thought," she grinned.

"Fuck you, Tak. You're just using him to get to me, admit it."

She stopped and smirked at him as they stared one another down. She finally gave a small laugh, "You're smarter than you act, Zim."

"Leave my daughter alone, you…" he tried, getting threatening now.

"Me what, Zim?" she shot a glare at him, "She's just another pawn in my plan, just like that pathetic human. I'm going to be an invader and in the Tallests good books by the time I'm finished with you. You're a wanted convict now, Zimmy. And you are my ticket back into the Armada."

"I'm never going to help you, Tak!" he howled at her.

"I'm not giving you much of a choice, you hack!" she tackled him down, slamming both of them into the railing. Zim cried, his back nearly snapping in two. The force knocked both of them off the edge and onto the grassy slope below. They struggled with one another, mud covering their once spotless outfits.

"I will be an invader, Zim, and you will pay for everything you did to me!" she muttered in his antennae, holding him down as she sat on him. Zim pushed her off, holding his stomach in defence, hoping the child was okay.

Tak pulled off most of the top of her dress, her bra beneath showing. Zim gave her a look, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Making sure this plan works," she grinned. She stood and came at him again. Zim jumped up, moving out of the way as a punch came at him. She came back and kicked him, hitting his left knee. He screamed and fell, still holding his stomach. Tak was about to punch him again, but he rolled out of the way into a couple of grass shoots. He shot up and made for her, swinging his fist at her cheek. She didn't even move and fell backwards as the punch knocked her off her feet. She grunted, spitting out green blood from her mouth, grinning still. Zim looked at her, not understand what she is doing.

She launched herself at Zim, forcing him off his feet once more. He slammed into the ground, the breath leaving him in a gasp. She pulled his antennae from beneath his wig and slammed his head down. Tears quivered in his eyes, pain consuming his whole body. He could feel the baby moving, causing him more discomfort, "Tak…get off…me," he grunted, blood rising in his throat.

"Now why would I do that?" she glared at him, she reached down, tugging at the belt around his pant. His eyes went wide and he threw her off of him and slammed his leg into her ribs as he rose. She howled, grabbing them in agony. He stumbled over himself, trying to keep his balance as his antennae rang.

She got up, a bit shaky as she tore away at the bottom of her dress now. She then looked up, grinning at Zim, "And now, it ends," she spat, a huge cut over her face

Zim's eyes went wide as she yelled out Dib's name, almost screeching it. "No…" he mumbled, her plan finally revealed.

She wanted Zim to fight her. She wanted him to beat the crap out of her, because she knew Dib would immediately take her side in this, regardless of how injured Zim was. He collapsed, holding onto his aching stomach as he looked up at her with tears in his eyes, "Y-you…how-how could you…?" he tried. She grinned, false tears coming to her eyes. He got up awkwardly as Dib came running from the patio, up to the railing, Gaz a few steps behind him. He saw Tak and almost yelled in shock. He jumped over the railing and came over to her, pulling her closer to him as she snivelled. Gaz stood on the patio, shock all over her face. "Tak, wh-what happened?"

She chocked on her words, Zim grimacing, "H-he…attacked me! That monster!" she cried out, holding onto Dib tightly. Dib looked over at Zim in horror, hatred and anger entering his eyes.

"I-I came to see if h-he was okay…and he just attacked me!" she continued, hiccupping on her words. "He tried to…to…"

She buried her head in Dib's chest, crying into it. Zim's body shook. That's why she went for his belt, which was now loose and hanging from the hoops in his once black pants. Dib cradled Tak in his arms, whispering hushes to her. He looked at Zim with a death stare, "Go. Now!" he screamed at the alien. Zim wanted to say something. He wanted to defend himself. But his vocal cords were being strangled by his confusion and horror. He looked down and trudged through the mud, walking away as Dib tried to calm down Tak.

Zim sat, his vest on the concrete next to him, outside the hall…waiting. He knew when Dib had finally calmed down Tak, he would most likely find him and kill him. He sat, his back against the cold concrete of the outside wall, his one leg hanging off one of the steps. He was holding onto his stomach, wishing the pains would go away. His head was ringing and racing, his antennae still aching after Tak yanked them. He felt miserable and just wanted to go home and die. A figure neared him slowly, a smaller one following closely. Zim looked up, his eyes still teary as he stared at Gaz and Hope. Hope was holding onto Gaz's dress, looking really upset. She looked angry with Zim. "What did you do?" Gaz said in a hushed, dark tone.

Zim looked forward, his grip around his stomach tightening as another pain shot through him. "I didn't do anything," he forced out in a weak voice.

Gaz grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, Hope yelling out in fear as she pulled him up violently, "You are the biggest idiot I have ever met, and I'm related to Dib! You…you literally screwed yourself over by doing this, you fucking moron!" She screamed at him, making his antennae ring more. The constant ringing was making him feel really sick.

He pulled himself away from her grip and walked down the stairway, not needing this confrontation. Gaz gave him a glare and shouted out at him, "Hey!"

He turned, looking at her, "I'm not through with you, you fucking retard! How dare you! Is that all you ever think about? You!" she walked a few steps down to meet him, Hope still standing there and crying. Zim began to look annoyed. "You just handed Tak the winning card all because you lost your fucking temper…!"

"I didn't do an Irk damn thing to her!" he screeched back at her, having enough of being yelled at for one week, "She attacked me, Gaz! She fucking framed me to get your brother on her fucking side!"

Gaz looked at him, Hope covering her face as she watched her two loved ones fighting. "Yes, I fought back! Yes, it was wrong! But damn it, Gaz, I didn't know this was her plan till it was too late! So stop fucking yelling at me and god dammit, go help Hope!" he screamed, seeing his daughter in utter distress.

Gaz turned, her eyes softening as she saw her niece in hysterics.

She walked up, picking up the crying child, and hugged her, Hope bawling as she clung to her aunt. Gaz looked back at Zim who was leaning against the wall, looking as he was trying to force down a yell of pain. She walked up to him, looking at him in concern, "Where did she hurt you?"

"I'm fine…" he tried.

"No, you're not. Don't piss me off further, Zim. Where does it hurt?" Gaz warned. Zim shook his head and stood, trying to walk down the last step away from Gaz. But, something lurched in his stomach, the ringing getting the best of him. He grabbed a hold of the edge of the wall on the other side of the step, trying to keep upright as he spewed clear liquid into the grass. Hope screamed. Gaz put her down as she went to help Zim.

She held placed one hand on his stomach where one of his hands were, using the other hand to hold onto his arm as he vomited out more clear liquid. She grimaced, feeling his stomach contract violently. Zim opened his wet eyes when the liquid stopped, coughing slightly. He fell backwards into Gaz's grasp. Gaz held him in a sitting position, resting his head under her chin. Hope came running up to them, holding onto her dad. "Zim?" Gaz said panicked. He was breathing deeply, almost gasping and choking to get the air back in him after losing half his stomach. The pains were still there, but thankfully not as strong. "Can we…please go home?" he stuttered, blinking weakly.

Gaz looked at him, fighting back her own tears. She pulled him up awkwardly, putting his arm over her shoulder and walked him over to the car, Hope helping her aunt as best she could.

Zim lay on Gaz's bed, her blanket wrapped tightly around him. Hope was fighting to stay awake as she lay on the cushioned chair opposite the bed. A pillow rested comfortable underneath her head, a pink fleecy blanket already over her. Gaz sat on the edge of her bed, wiping away sweat from Zim's face. The pains had died down, but there was still the occasional twinge here and there. He looked over at Gaz weakly, "I'm sorry."

"For what?" she asked.

"For not seeing her plan sooner…"

"Don't you dare apologize for that, Zim. Tak is quite cunning. If anything, I should have seen this coming," she looked down.

"Then it's your fault," Zim gave a weak smile.

Gaz looked at him and grinned weakly, "I'm sorry for what happened. How's the baby?"

"Has stopped fidgeting so much, but seems to still be in a bit of distress," he sighed.

Gaz looked at Hope who was slowly drifting into sleep, "So no contractions or anything?"

"No," he mumbled, "But it came pretty close to it."

Gaz gave a slight nod, "We have to be careful from now on then."

She paused as Zim closed his eyes. "Get some rest, Zim."

"In your bed?" his eyes opened weakly, giving her a look.

"Just for tonight. I need to keep an eye on you," she said. "No arguments."

He shook his head, "Too tired to argue right now. I'll do it in the morning."

He closed his eyes once more, and began nodding off.

Gaz stayed seated by his side for the whole evening, worried anytime he twitched or moaned. Eventually, she fell asleep by his legs, resting on his knees.

Dib only returned at three that morning, just to get a few things. Tak was with him. She was asleep. After being on Earth for so long, she had become used to some of the customs (well, that's what she told Dib, anyway. Right now, she was just faking it). Dib carried her over to the couch and placed a blanket over her.

He then headed to the phone in the kitchen, dialling a number into it. Tak opened her eyes, listening carefully to Dib in the kitchen, grinning evilly.

"Yes. Hello? Yes, this is he. Listen. That thing I was talking to you about this evening after the conference…yeah, it's still on. Yeah. Come by at 6am. No, he'll still be asleep. Perfect. Make sure all the researchers are ready and waiting, and don't forget the tranquilizer. I think he's gonna put up a fight. Good, thank you. See you then."

Tak gave a smirk. "All according to plan," she whispered.

To quote the song, "Bitch!" My God, we nearly forgot about her, didn't we? Come on, this is Tak we're talking about. And it only gets worse from here! Damn that Witch!
