Here's the final chapter. I've grown tired of writing this fic, so this is the end.

CHAPTER SEVEN-- The Little Trespasser
Skool was out. I purposely stayed behind a little late, organizing my section of the table, cleaning Willy's a little. When I finally picked up my textbook and pencil to leave, Zim was already waiting by the door impatiently.
"I almost left without you." He said, causing me to mutter a faint apology.
"Sorry, sheesh. Let's just get going."
I was unaware that I was dragging my feet so much. I didn't really want Zim to go to my house, but he insisted it was the right thing to do. Zim was going on about how he was sure his equipment would be superior compared to mine, and how he knew so much more about the humans than I did; I wasn't listening any more, though.
Zoning out was something new to me, I wasn't a zoner. However, I wasn't too interested in listening to his boasting.
We reached my home quicker than I would have liked. The door opened as we approached it, and a few of my many cameras in the yard followed us with their robot gazes.
"Very clean." Zim stated, as he looked around. He merely glanced at OIR, who lay on the ground, asleep, and didn't say a thing about her.
I felt horrible as Zim practically led me through my own home. He was critiquing everything, and I was starting to worry that everything wouldn't be good enough for him.
"This is a wonderous laboratory." Zim finally said. "But compared to mine, it's a pitiful failure!"
We were now standing in the main control center in the top floor of my home. I heard footsteps coming up the squeaky staircase that had been placed for access to the higher floors.
"OIR, is that you?" I called.
"OIR?" Zim asked. "I thought it was a normal SIR robot."
Before I could explain, my robot emerged. Her face wore a broad grin and, when she spoke, she sounded overly excited.
"We have company!" She screamed. "A little boy came to visit us!"
That caused Zim to snigger. "You can't even keep the humans away!"
Practically flying down the stairs, I went to meet whoever it was that wanted to bother me. When I reached the door, there was no one there. Glancing around, I carefully closed it. "I thought you said someone was here." I said scornfully to OIR, who had followed me down.
"Someone did come. I let him into the kitchen, because he said he didn't want to wait for you outside."
I growled very slightly and yelled an order to the house. "Computer, locate a boy that's in the house."
Aware of Zim's obvious laughs and sniggers, I ran to the kitchen in hopes of finding the boy. Unfortunately, it was empty. This had to look really good to Zim. Seeing the new, pointless Irken on this planet being an obvious fool.
"Subject found." The computer's voice rang out. "A human child is in the basement, level six."
Why was the human in my lab? Was it the boy who had realized my secret? Too many questions that I didn't have time to answer. All that mattered right now was my finding this human before he destroyed something vital.
Too late. Something downstairs made a loud crash, it sounded suspiciously like my AIL (All Irken Link) system.
"Are all humans like this?" I asked Zim as I went to the living room.
"Only this one." He answered. "I think I'll just sit here and let you handle him yourself."
Another growl as I ripped open the door that lead down to my lab. As I ran down to the sixth floor, I ran into someone.
It was the black-haired boy from skool. He was the one who had accused me of being and alien, and he now knew I was one for sure.
"What are you doing in my lab?!" I shouted angrily.
"Sheesh. I didn't even do any real damage." He said, once he recovered from our impact. "All I broke was that screeny thing."
"GET OUT BEFORE I DO SOMETHING DRASTIC!" This time I shouted louder than I ever had before.
"Would you really do something drastic?" I was growing to hate smart mouths.
"Yes. Now get out of here."
While Guiding him up the stairs and pushing him out my front door, I was always aware of Zim's grinning face. He was surprised by my way of dealing with the kid, but he was also laughing at it.
"That was nicely handled." Zim chuckled. "Not like anything I expected."
Shrugging, I was ready to ask the next question. "Are you done inspecting my lab yet?"
Zim was a bit reluctant to leave in the end, but I was finally able to shoo him out.
After he left, I went down to my lab and lay there in front of the computer for several minutes. I thought of nothing but Zim, and didn't mind doing so. Sad as it was to say, I was developing a crush on him.
There were so many qualities that set the Irken apart from all others I had ever met. He didn't care what others thought of him, or he didn't act like it at least.
When I was finally able to pull myself out of my romatic wishings, there was still the AIL system to fix. That human could be a bigger threat to my mission than anyone else on the planet, even OIR.
The robot meant well, that was clear, but she didn't help fix the system. When she did try, it only made matters worse.
The Tallest only sent me to this planet, expecting me to fail like Zim; I wasn't going to give them that satisfaction. The Armada would never come, of that I was sure, so I would have to secure the planet alone, with Zim.
This mission might turn out to actually be fun, in the end!

That's it. The end. I wrote the rough draft for a future fic, though, and I'll have that up soon.
