Gaz POV
"You're what?" I asked him, really confused.
"The queen, the co-ruler, the second in command." He said listing things off.
"Oh… um… sure why not?" I said.
"Great!" Zim said. "We shall be connected right away!" he said, pulling me out of the chair and into his arms, carrying me bridal style.
"Whoa, Zim I have legs, I can walk." I said.
"Nope, Zim has to carry you like this, its tradition." He stated.
I looked at how he was holding me against him and it seemed oddly familiar, but I brushed it off.
"Where are we going Zim?" I asked him.
"We are going to see someone that has real power here… the Tallest." He said, flashing me a smile.
"Tallest? Um… okay… Who are these… 'Tallest'." I said with air quotations.
"The Tallest are the rulers of Irk, my home planet. They are chosen for being the Tallest of all of us, for towering over us, we give them control."
I looked at him, dumbfounded. "What about their leadership skills?" I asked him.
"That is not needed, they have advisors for that reason." Zim said as he stopped in front of a door. "Gaz, do me the favor of knocking, my hands are full." He said a smile on his face.
I rolled my eyes. "Hardy har har. You know, they wouldn't be so full if you just set me down." I told him but knocked on the door anyways.
A small Irken opened the door, looking up at us. I turned to Zim. "This is your tallest." I whispered.
"Oh no, Gaz, this is the royal door opener." He said and walked in. "Zim requests to talk to the Tallest!" Zim yelled.
Everyone in the room turned to look at us; I could feel a blush on my cheeks. "Shut up Zim." I growled at him.
"What do you want Zim?" a tall shadow with purple eyes asked from the other side of the room.
All the aliens in the rooms stood up and bowed all of them but Zim.
"Clear the room!" another tall shadow with red glowing eyes demanded.
They all scurried out of the room, again, all except for Zim.
"I'm going to ask again. What do you want Zim?" The shadow with Purple eyes asked again.
"Zim wants to know if you could do me the favor of connecting this earthling with me." Zim asked.
The shadows looked at each other and stepped out into the light. Zim was right, they toward over us, they were a good 7 feet tall.
"Where did you find such a creature." The red eyed alien asked, studying me.
By the way that they were looking at me, I swear I felt violated.
"She found me actually, saved my life to be exact." Zim said, looking down at me with a funny expression.
The Tallest looked at me and then at Zim, then they looked at each other.
Both of them shrugged and walked to us. Together they spoke. "Do you vow to rule next to Zim for the rest of eternity?"
"Yeah, sure whatever." I said.
"Now, as I've seen on some of the entertainment that you earthlings have, I shall say one of my favorite lines… You may now kiss the bride!" The purple eyes one said.
My eyes widened. "What?" I yelled, Zim placed a chaste kiss on my cheek, I could feel the blush on my skin return.
"There you go again with your red skin, I swear Gaz, you have to stop that." Zim mumbled
The Red eyed one chuckled. "Hey, if it doesn't work out with you and Zim, give me a call." The red eyed one said.
Zim growled at the red eyes one. The Red eyed one just lifted his hands as if to say he wasn't guilty. "Hey, according to her reaction just now, I don't think she knew to what she was agreeing to." He said.
"Of course she knew, why else would I be carrying her like this?" Zim asked.
I mentally slapped myself, I should have known, I knew all of this seemed weirdly familiar… this was all an un-arranged marriage.
"What are your names?" I asked them, changing the subject.
"My name is Red." The one with the red eyes said.
"Mine is Purple." The one with purple eyes said.
"So… your names are the colors of your eyes? Why?" I asked them.
"What are you talking about? Our names scream power, and they strike fear into the hearts of everyone." Red said.
"Uh, sure. Zim could we leave now, I need to talk to you." I said.
"Farewell my Tallest." Zim said and left with his head held up high.
As we left, I started to think about what just happened in there, and slowly I realized to my shock, I was glad it happened… but this feeling would have to be pushed aside, right now, I have to concentrate on saving my brother and father… My family.
(A/N: Sorry if it's kinda rushed! :D Review!)
