Author's Notes: Yay! I say that way too much…anyway, I have the next chapter, and I think this one is my favorite. Alva's personality is showing up a bit more, and Lem is…getting himself into something he doesn't really want to be in 0.o I might as well draw a picture of him too, I suppose. He's beginning to be a main character and I don't want him to! Oh well. It's hard for me to laugh at my own fics, so, since I laughed at this one, I hope you all think it's funny too! ^_^

Disclaimer: I am here to disclaim ownership of anything Invader Zim except for Alva and Lem which I made up myself….how was that? Was that okay?

Tall Meets Tall

Chapter Five: Someone Else?

Alva sat down in the food court and sucked on a drink (as in, there was a straw). One of her eyes twitched madly. She couldn't remember ever being so upset. If anyone so much as looked at her right then, they would have been begging for mercy, for she would have them in a chokehold in a split second. Basically, she wasn't exactly one to be messed with when upset.

After a few minutes, she started to calm down.

"Soooo…" Lem said, sitting down by her, "bad day huh?"

Alva slowly turned her head toward him.

"I really hope that wasn't supposed to be funny," she said simply.

"…Not if you don't want it to be." Lem thought a moment.

"Like I said, stuff like that is just gonna keep happening unless you…" he started to say, but was cut off when Alva grabbed him by the throat.

"I choose…neither!" She hissed, then dropped him and sucked on her drink again.

Lem felt his throat, and looked up at Alva fearfully.

"That's nice, but, I just hope that they will listen to you when you tell them that," Lem said, rubbing his neck.

"Tell them? I'm not telling them anything," Alva said, looking at Lem, "I don't ever want to see either of them again!"

"Well how do you expect them to find out??" Lem asked.

Alva stared at him.

"Oh no, I'm not telling them, no way!" Lem got up and backed away, "I'm not telling them!"

~*~*~*~

"So Alva wanted me to tell you," Lem looked up regretfully at the Tallests.

"Well? Tell us what?" Red said impatiently.

"That she never wants to see either of you as long as she lives!" Lem announced quickly and with a little too much feeling.

Red and Purple looked at each other in a confused fashion.

"She hates you both now!" Lem continued.

"There's someone else, isn't there??" Red said.

"Huh? No…" Lem was confused also now.

"It's YOU isn't it??" Purple pointed at Lem.

"What??" Lem looked startled.

"I can't believe it, one of our own invaders stabbed us in the back!" Red shouted to Purple.

"Yeah! We should have known something was going on when we saw him in her room today!" Purple told Red.

"What the? You got it all wrong!" Lem yelled.

Red and Purple looked at Lem murderously.

Lem took this time to run like the whole armada was after him.

"Guards! Get him!" Red ordered.

Two Irken guards grabbed Lem up at the door.

"Thought you could get away with it huh?" Red said to Lem.

"Alva doesn't like me! I don't think…" Lem looked up thoughtfully, "I mean..!"

"Okay buddy, that's it!" Purple yelled angrily.

"You're, er…going to go…um, somewhere really bad!" Red threatened.

"Ask her yourself! She doesn't like me!" Lem pleaded.

"Then why does she all of a sudden not want to see us anymore?" Purple asked.

"BECAUSE YOU ERASED HER NOVEL!" Lem screamed.

"Oh yeah," Red said rather air-headed like.

Lem sighed.

"Alright then," Purple waved for the guards to drop Lem, and they did so rather harshly.

Lem got to his feet.

"She would have told you herself but, she said she didn't want to ever see you again as I said earlier, so she made me do it." Lem informed.

"Right sure," Red said, "we're keeping an eye on you invader LEM!"

With that, Red and Purple floated off, leaving a very bewildered invader behind.



R&R! That is all I have to say really. Just, R&R! ^_^ Oh and for a picture of Alva go to my profile I'll have the link there.
