Author's Notes: Hehe, I'm listening to Metallica. Anyway, I drew a picture of Lem, but I haven't scanned it yet. Also I won't be able to get to a computer in a few days, I might not be able to post this until after that. So why am I writing this? I have no idea...I guess if this doesn't come in a long time, that is why.

Disclaimer: I don't own Invader Zim, what you thought I did? Disclaimers seem so pointless...

Tall Meets Tall

Chapter uh...Six?: No Title for lack of creativity

"So, did you tell them?" Alva asked.

Lem nodded slowly.

"What did they say?" Alva stared anticipantly.

Now Lem knew he had to word this very carefully...

"They think you like me! Now they're treating me like a fugitive or stowaway or something! You just had to make me tell them didn't you!" Lem spat.

Alva looked at Lem in suprise.

"Me like you? What makes them think that??" She asked, astounded.

"I don't know! Um, you don't, right?"

"No!"

Lem's anteanne drooped a bit.

"Okay, that's fine, just making sure." He said.

"I'm not trying to insult you...I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you to tell them. It's all my fault." Alva rubbed her forehead.

Lem opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, he found himself being pushed off into a wall from the side.

"So you hate us now??" Red yelled, but then was elbowed by Purple, "I mean, we're sorry."

Lem sat up, rubbing his head.

"I know we've been causing trouble for you ever since you got here but..." Purple started, then was smacked in the back of the head by Red, "I mean, WE know..." he corrected, giving Red the eye.

Alva crossed her arms and walked off.

The Tallests looked helplessly after her.

"Way to go, now she probably hates us even more!" Purple turned to Red.

"What did I do!" Red asked.

"You...uh...you....blinked!"

"Blinked?? So did you! What does that have to do with it anyway??"

"HEY!" Lem walked to the Tallests.

They looked at him.

"Don't interupt us when we're arguing over senseless trivial things such as blinking in front of people!" Red ordered.

Lem ignored him.

"If I help you get back on Alva's good side..." Like they were on it to begin with...Lem thought, "will you stop harrassing me??" Lem asked.

Red and Purple looked at each other.

"Uh, sure why not," Purple said.

"How do you think you're going to do that?" Red asked skeptically.

"I have no idea...but I'll think of something!" Lem ran off.

I know this was a super short chapter but oh well what am I gonna do? Don't say 'write longer chapters' either! Boo! I'm being flooded with new ideas for other stuff and, well that's just it. And since I haven't updated this story in a while I decided to put up what I had so far.

Next Chap: Will Lem convince the Alva to forgive the Tallests? I don't know...
