Mr. Dad reached behind him and unplugged something from his neck. I saw as he slowly changed from his human form to an Irken that had orange eyes, and was the same size as me. "Ex-Invader Membrane at your service."

"That's your name? I would have thought it to be shorter." I said to myself, and then shook my head. "Wait a minute; did you know all along that I was Irken?" I asked.

"Your disguise was actually pretty convincing, I actually thought you were as the humans call, a 'baby', but after I injected the vitamins in you a long time ago, I found out that you were really Irken. I was just waiting for you to tell me. You were actually a tough nut to crack." He said with a laugh.

"But I saw you eat that horrible human food!" I said.

"I grew to be immune to the pain; I've been on that planet for as long as I can remember."

"Does that mean I'm adopted?" I heard Dib-brother whisper.

Membrane looked at him and gave him a tender smile. "No Dib, you are 100% part of the family."

"But I'm human." He said.

"No, you are every bit as Irken as I am. You just don't have any weaknesses. That is how you could handle that horrible earth acid, and the human food." Membrane said shivering in horror.

"What do you mean, I'm not Irken! I'm not an alien!" Dib yelled, backing away slowly.

"I should have told you before, but sense I thought that we were going to live on earth, well I wanted life to be easier for you." Membrane went up behind his son, and detached something from the back of Dib-Brothers head.

"What are you doing? Get away!" he yelled trying to pull away from Membrane, but it was too late.

I watched, shocked as Dib-brother transformed. He had the same color eyes as Membrane, a nice orange, but his was different, his had a dark black tint in the, like mine, but he was just a bit shorter.

"Dib, I guess I should tell you now that you are actually my clone." Membrane said. "But I love you like the son that I could never have, please, don't stop calling my by the name 'Dad'." Membrane asked of Dib.

"I… I honestly don't know what to say. Why do you need a clone?" he asked.

"Because I was all alone on that planet. After Tallest Red kicked me out of the planet and called me a defect, I was angry. I wanted to make an army of clones and kicked the sorry excuse of a tallest out of the throne. I wanted to take over, but then, I fell in love with the planet earth, I don't know, I just had the feeling that it was something that I needed to protect. I really hope that none of this changes our relationship as a family." Membrane said.

"I've lived with you for more than a decade Membrane; you protected me and gave me a loving home. How on earth do you think that I would look at you any less than a father figure?" I said with a smile and hugged him. Then I felt Dib join the hug.

I looked up to see Zim just standing there looking at our family with longing in his eyes. I smiled at him and pulled him in with us.

I have a feeling that whatever happens to us, I could always trust on my family to help me through it.
