A/N: Time for a Zim and Tak romance type chapter as there hasn't been a good one to show their complex relationship since Shaterpoint.

Chapter 21: Love Hurts

Zim was alone in the control trying to figure out a way to weaken Earth for invasion much to the annoyance of the computer

"Computer what do you think of this plan?"

"Sir are you serious? You cant just shoot asteroids from the systems asteroid belt at Earth, there will be nothing left to conquer"

"Are you saying I the great Zim am wrong?"

"Ummmmmmmmm"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Tak was approaching the Control room door deciding to help plan Earth's downfall with Zim.

"Sar, Nat what are you doing outside the control room?"

"We have orders from Zim not to let anyone in while he is planning"

"You do know I am his mate right?"

"Not even you are allowed in"

"Zim dare plan an attack on Earth without me? He dose know that were a team, I am the reason he can put a competent plan together"

"I'm sorr……."

"Shut up Nat, you will open this door at once or I will give you a beating you won forget" Tak yelled clenching her fist's making both Nat and Sar tremble.

"Ummmm go right in" Sar said opening the control room door. When Tak was inside he turned to Nat. "Why did Zim chose her as a mate, she scares me"

"Dammed if I know"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Tak entered the control room she could see Zim at the computer arguing with it. Zim was about to throw a chair at the computer when Tak stopped him.

"What do you think your doing Zim?"

"Tak I'm glad you're here" the computer said. "Please tell you mate that you can't go around shooting asteroid's at planets with no other plan"

"Shut up computer I'm right this will work for I am Zim!!!!!!!!!"

"Zim your plan makes no sense the human nuclear missiles will destroy those asteroids before they reach Earth and then they will know we are here and right now we cant fight them with just 4 fighters and a modified voot cruiser"

"Shouldn't you be taking care of Taz woman" which cause Tak to be visually frustrated and angry? As Zim turned from the computer to Tak a notepad hit his head. "Damit woman that hurt" Zim said holding his head.

"You told me yourself that I'm the reason you can concentrate on a plan so making a plan is pointless without me to guide you so get a hold of yourself"

"Don't throw things at me woman" Zim said as he pounced on Tak much to the distress of the computer. Both Zim and Tak started to fight hurling words and equipment at each other.

"Ummmmm errrrr I'll just shut off" the computer said shutting off to avoid damage.

Outside the room laser blast's and bang's could be heard." Nat you think we should go in and try to break up what's happening after all if the invader were serving died on our watch were gona be in trouble"

"Your right Sar we best stop them before they kill each other" Nat said as he opened the control room door only to have a chair fly out and nearly take his head off. Quickly he closed the door again just as something else hit it. "On second thought lets wait till it calms down in there"

5 minutes later

"It's pretty quiet now I think its safe"

"Ok Nat open the door"

As Nat and Sar entered the control room they looked around to see laser scorch marks and equipment all around the room. Looking to the computer they were frozen by what they saw. Sitting in the control chair was Zim with Tak on his lap kissing her bare chest. They stood frozen for a minute before Zim and Tak sighted them.

"I told you I wasn't to be disturbed" Zim said angrily.

"Get out now" Tak said pointing a laser pistol at Nat and Sar. Visually terrified both exited the room quickly and closed the door behind them. "Now where were we my love"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sar what was that?"

"Haven't a clue"

"How can they just have a fight then couple?"

"Love hurts I guess, maybe that why our ancestors did away with emotions".
