"Gorsht," Red said flatly, placing his game marker over his companions.
"That was NOT Gorsht! How was that Gorsht!" Purple waved his claws in the air, abandoning all dignity and stature to his 39th failure in the game of Banter and Boggles. This, of course, was Purple's favorite game and he happened to be very good at manipulating Red into playing it with him. His eyes turned soft and pleading and he made a sound like a mwarble;
"Pleaase Red ... you know no one else will play with me..."
"You know why don't you?"
"Well..."
"BECAUSE WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT! WE HAD FORBIDDEN GAMES UNDER OUR OWN LAW!"
"Can't we just... reprieve the law... for now?"
"No Purple, not the mwarble eyes......"
"For me?"
"Do you want me to get the lasers again?"
But each time, the same tactic was used and, each time, it worked wonders.
"Purple, you haven't won ONCE all morning! I'm sorry but I'm NOT going to play YET another game of Banter and Boggles with you! There's no challenge! None at all! Do you hear me? No more!" Red's left eye twitched and claw marks appeared in the table they had played upon.
The softer colored Tallest simply sat down in his chair and sulked, arms crossed in front of him. "I saw no Gorsht," he muttered.
Red opened his mouth again, hoping something witty enough to shut Purple up would fly out, but the red light above their chamber door blinked.
"Oh Calar!" Red threw up his hands his he gave up any hope for a relaxing, peaceful day. The subservient voice of one of the Tallests' guards came through, "A warrior is here to see you sir. Says his name is....." There was the sound of inquisitive whispering, then, "...Zim. Says his name is Zim, my Tallests sirs...."

Well lovely's, ill have to leave you at that.
Please forgive me for it being so short but I haven't written ANY fanfic, let
alone keep up with any of my stories in ages. Well, trudge on, yes?
I am hoping to take this in a bit of a different direction than most of the IZ fic out there, try to think up a creative plot for once! [_] What would you like to see though? Should Urm come back and stop Zim from doing anything stupid? Should Zim try, in his own horribly misguided way, to share this "love disease" he seems to have? Should one of the tallests actually come onto Zim's advances, (or should I not go down that dark alley..AHHH RUN AWAY!!)
I'm asking for *feedback*, not reviews. Knowing whether you liked it or not is WONDERFUL, but id also like to know why or why not you liked it or hated this particular story....
