The Recruit
SUMMARY: Zim set up a colony on the moon and forced humans to live there and help his conquest. When Dib finds out, he tries to stop him, confronted by a girl on Zim's side. Will she remain an enemy, or become a recruit for Earth's side?
Chapter One-Relationship
Yuki, a girl of about 16, lived in Zim's base. She was head of the military defenses, appointed by Zim himself. Though she was human, she had never set foot on planet Earth. Even before the moon colony was set up, she was born on a space station. Like many children living there, she was born in space and knew not the feel of warm sand between her toes, nor did she know the feel of a soft breeze against her cheek. Long, dark brown hair fell over her shoulders and she had bright green eyes. Her pants were magenta and she wore a long red shirt, as the colony's military called for. Even though her father was Japanese and her mother American, she had seen the two countries only on maps and when looking at the sky.
"Yuki!" Zim screeched.
"Yes, sir?"
"I want you to share the nighttime security duty shift with me tonight. You never know when those filthy Earthlings will attack. And be on the lookout especially for-"
"-Spies seeking information from the forbidden Mission Plans room. Yes, Zim. I know."
"And if you see Dib, well...I'll take care of him myself. I'll get us some champagne."
"But sir-I'm under the age to drink. I don't want to get drunk or anything."
"You're an exception to the rules, then. You will drink if I tell you to drink! Now, get moving!"
"Y-yes, sir. Right away, sir." Yuki tore off into the darkness and assumed her position until her shift ended. On her way back to Zim's security sector, she passed Military Strategy Specialist #4, Mary.
"Hi, Yuki. On your way to see Zim, eh? I just came from a meeting, and it seems like you're on close terms with him."
"What do you mean by that?"
"He seems to think that you two are...well, let's just say that he seems to like you."
"I don't like him in a romantic way, though. Besides, I'm only sixteen. If he thinks...there must be some mistake; that would be sick."
"Say what you like, but it'd be ill-advised to disappoint him."
"But he can't-" Some static was heard as the intercom was activated and Zim spoke.
"Yuki! Report immediately to the Main Security Sector! That will be all."
"I've gotta go. Bye." Yuki dashed into the Main Security Sector, where she found Zim waiting for her.
"I hope there isn't any kind of problem between us that would cause you to deliberately disobey me."
"Sir, I have not disobeyed you. What are you implying?"
"I saw you talking to MS Specialist #4, and you can't be serious about what you said."
"What do you mean?"
"About my liking you. You think I'm sick?! How dare you speak about me in such a disrespectful manner!" Zim shoved some papers off of his desk and to the floor. "You are nothing more than a human, and you will respect me! You should be honored that anyone in my position would even look your way!"
"But you're an adult! I'm only sixteen-years-old! The very idea makes me shudder!"
"Be silent!" Zim grabbed her shirt by the collar and lifted her up in the air, making her gasp for breath. "You WILL like me, or you will not be promoted to helping me rule when our military has conquered. If you choose not to like me, you will be killed. Now, tell me that it is a silly notion, before I behead you."
"It's...a silly notion, sir. May I request permission to be let down, now?"
"Oh. Of course." Zim set her down, and smiled at her. "We're only a couple years apart, really. I'd probably be about 17 according to your human standards."
"R-really?"
"Yes. Really. Sit down in this chair, please." She sat, and Zim poured her a drink. "Now, will you accept?"
"Oh-of course, sir."
"You may call me by my name."
"Yes, Zim." He stared into her eyes and pressed his lips to hers. After their kiss, Zim put his arms around her.
"You're such a pretty human. Most of them are disgusting, but you are beautiful, especially with the Earth-light reflecting on your brow." He leaned over to a nearby table, picked up a box, and placed a chocolate in her mouth.
"Thank you, Zim."
"I didn't mean for you to be upset, darling. I sometimes resort to force out of habit, I suppose." She leaned against him and fell asleep on his shoulders.
