It was Dib, Zim's one and only nemesis on Earth. I was standing in the window and watching him aiming his small camera at my little treasures. They were not hostile towards the boy since I was not considering him as my enemy. - '' What am I gonna do now?'' - I thought. I had no idea what brought Dib to a place like that. Princess Loo-nah, 777's kids and I were supposed to stay in hiding at least for a while. I haven't assumed we'd be found there by anyone.
- I can't believe it! - Dib shouted in excitement. - These toys are alive! Can you say something? Anything at all? What are you? Aliens? Government experiment? Alien government experiment?
There was no sense in hiding anything from him. I turned back into human and opened the window.
- They will tell you nothing! - I said loudly so he could hear me. He looked at me and asked:
- Excuse me, ma'am! Do these belong to you?
- Sure they do. They are my precious little are not really alive. I control them with my power.
- What kind of power?
- Magical, of course.
- Magical? Who are you? A witch?
- Bullseye!
Instead of getting scared, Dib let his good mood increase.
- Oh my! A witch! A real, living, breathing witch! - Well, actually...
I went silent when I've been given a vision from my plushie St. Bernard puppy. Looking through his eyes, I noticed a dark silhouette among the trees and bushes.
- Hey! - I shouted. - You there! Come out! Show yourself!
I didn't even consider waiting for any reaction from the intruder. I let out my wings and my tail before I flew to catch that furtive person. I jumped on them like a predator on its prey.
- What the...? - I was surprised when I realized who - or rather what - that person was. He was an alien. A little shorter and much thinner than me, with the appearance similar to ''Harry'' from ''Resident Alien''. - Where is princess Loo-nah!? What have you done with her!? - he growled.
- '' Who the hell is this guy?'' - I asked myself in my mind. I kept holding him until Loo-nah came and said:
- Onigiri! Is that you?
- You know this guy? - I asked, looking at the little alien girl.
- Yes. This is Onigiri, my mom's most loyal servant.
- I see...
- Let go of me! - he demanded, squirming in attempt to get free.
I felt like punching him into that ugly face once or twice, but I held myself back. He may have been rude, hot-tempered and accusing, but he was not with the bad guys.
- What was that? - Dib mumbled, raising his eyebrows in puzzlement.
We all gathered inside the cabin. We were sitting around a table while Loo-nah and I were explaining what happened after our encounter back in my dimension. Vortian kids were eating breakfast, staying in a play pen. I reluctantly told them about my beloved collection and type of magic I've been provided with.
- You've got the power over toys? - Dib reapeated in disbelief.
- Yes, I do. - I answered crisply.
- Oh! By the way - where are your toys? - asked Loo-nah inquisitively.
I reached to my pocket and pulled out a small, round object.
- Right here. - I said, unvealing plastic Porun Touch Commune from '' Futari Wa Precure Max Heart''.
- What is this thing? - the princess asked.
- This... is a kind of toy from my world. - I clarified. - I use it as sort of...repository.
- So you mean that you keep your whole toy collection inside this? - Exactly.
Onigiri suddenly changed topic of our conversation:
- I have a question. You said you freed those Vortian children from an Irken named Zim, am I right.
- Riiight. Why?
- How did you know they'd be in there?
- I... I just knew.
- Oh is that so? Very interesting.
The distrustful alien put his gimlet eyes on me, like if he was trying to X-ray my body.
I gave him my standard angry glance. I hated his as hell. If it wasn't for princess Loo-nah, I'd have him beaten to a pulp. Like I mentioned, he was shorter and thinner than me. Though he was not a weakling, it still was pretty easy for a bodybuilder like me to overpower him, with my magic or not.
- Excuse me.- said Dib carefully. - But... don't we have something more important to discuss about? Like fighting against the Irken Empire?
- Yeah. You're right, Dib. - I admitted.
- I must agree. - added Onigiri, containing himself.
I also had to regain my composure and focus on my self-given assignment. After all, princess Loo-nah needed help and I promised I'd give it to her.
