**IMPORTANT! Ok now I know I said that this fic was about Tak's past, and I didn't lie, because it is. I also know that Tenn has been in this a lot so far BUT this is because Tak and Tenn are best Friends so they have a lot to do with each other.

Now in the last chappy it was mostly about Tenn being tormented by Zee because of having a big scar on her leg and because Zee wants Tenn to believe that she's not as good now with her injury. This is still to do with Tak's past because at the end of the last chappy Tak stuck up for Tenn when she found out, showing how much of a caring good friend Tak can be. Understand? Now on with the fic.**

Disclaimer: I do own Jhonen Vasquez and everything to do with Invader Zim in my lil fantasy world where everything is perfect and Invader Zim is still shown. Sadly in the real world, I do not, but we all know who does of course don't we? Stupid companies.

Why hurt one? Twos more fun.

"I'm worried about her. She's not been herself lately and I know whose fault that is but there's nothing I can do. If I was to beat her up then I'd be kicked out of military school and then I'd never become an Invader. But I can't stand what it's doing to her. Last night she asked me if she was even fit to be an invader and that's just not the Tenn I know."

"I've noticed it too. Its not right that Zee's doing this to her. Tenn never did anything to her."

"But that's where you're wrong. Because Tenn's competition when it comes to boys and stuff. And Zee just can't stand it."

"Yeah but that's stupid."

"We know that but it's just what she's like. She's a bloody parasite and I hate her."

"Tak calm down." Mar took Tak's hand in his own and looked at her. "I know it makes you angry but you've got to control it." Tak looked at him with her deep purple eyes filled with sorry, then she let out a deep sigh.

"I just can't help it. Zee makes my blood boil, she always did, but there's much more reason to it now. She has no right to make Tenn doubt herself like this. I can't stand what she's doing to her. I offered to go see a movie with Tenn today, said I'd pay for it all but she didn't want to. Tenn loves the movies." Tak pulled away from Mar and fell onto the bed laying on her back. She raised her hand in the air and clenched her fist as though grabbing onto something then un clenched it and let it fall back to her side. Mar watched from where he was perched on the side of the bed.

"There's no way I'm gonna let that scabby little bitch destroy the Tenn I know!" Tak furiously sat up and held up her left hand up as she heavily punched it with her right. Mar winced as he heard the impact of the punch and was shocked when Tak didn't even flinch. Then Taks eyes filled with sadness again and she looked painfully at Mar. "This is all a sick little game to her." Tak said as a lone tear slipped out of her left eye and traced its way down her cheek then came another one, this time from her right eye. Tak wiped it away. "Zee knows she hurting me just as much as Tenn and she's loving it." She said between small sobs of sadness and frustration. Mar moved over to Tak and pulled her into him. He wrapped his arms around her in a comforting embrace as Tak leaned against his body and into his shoulder as she cried. He soothingly stroked her antennae; all the time neither of them said anything. All that could be heard was the hum of her computers fan and her sad mumbled sobs. About five minutes when Mar could no longer hear Tak crying he decide to break the silence.

"We'll find a way to stop her Tak. I promise we will." When he got no response he looked down, and then her realised, Tak had cried herself to sleep in his arms. Mar gently moved his arms and slowly lowered Tak onto the bed, he placed her head carefully onto the pillow then her reached over and grabbed her blankets and covered her up. He then bent over and kissed her on the forehead, and then he walked out.

It had been nearly two hours since Tak had fallen asleep. Mar sat quietly on the couch, leaning over to the coffee table where he stared at a pile of cards. He was playing solitaire. Then a door opened and Tenn walked out of her room. It was a Saturday so she was still in her pyjamas, as usual. Tak and Tenn always spent weekends in their pyjamas unless they were going out. She walked over to the couch and leant over to Mar.

"Where's Tak." She said quietly, almost a whisper.

"She's asleep, she was tired and fell asleep nearly two hours ago. I don't know if she still wants me to stay the day so I'm waiting to find out." He replied simply.

"Ok. If you need anything help yourself." With that Tenn walked off to the kitchen. Tak was right; Zee had made Tenn very depressed. She didn't have the usual happiness in her voice and she didn't do much of anything. She would spend all her time reading or doing nothing, it was so sad to see such a nice, happy go lucky person meta morph into a sad depressed person who questions the abilities she know she has. Tenn came out of the kitchen and went back to her room.

'Poor Tenn.' Mar thought 'four weeks and she's changed into what she is now. It's not right.' Mar stood up and headed over to Tak's room. He opened the door and went inside. Even in her sleep Tak looked sad and worried for her friend. Mar sat next to her on the bed and reached out to once again comfort her by carefully, slowly stroking her antennae. As he did a small-relaxed smile crept along her face as she slept, it was small but at least it was there. 'She looks so happy when she smiles' Mar thought.

About another half hour passed and Mar decided it was best to wake Tak up, otherwise she would get no sleep when night came. He gently placed his hands on her shoulder and lightly shook her.

"Tak, honey it's time to wake up. Tak." Mar did this for a minute or two and then Tak woke up. Se slowly opened her eyes and winced as the light blinded her. She opened them little by little until she was remotely used to it. She looked about but no one was there so she slowly rolled over. There was a blurred figure perched on the bed, she starred as her eyes focused. Then she realised it was Mar and gave a weak sleepy smile as he reached down and lightly touched her cheek. Tak pulled herself up until she was sitting upright against the bed head.

"I needed that rest. And I know what I've got to do about Zee." Mar looked at Tak confused.

"What?" was his simple reply to her previous words. Tak looked at him as her eyes narrowed and her lips curved round into a frown.

"Something I swore I would never do." Tak harshly whispered as she twisted her body round and hung her legs off the side of the bad and stood up as she started to tell Mar what she would have to do.

**Ok to clear a few things up. 1: That chapter was shorter then a few of them but it captured the moment well I thought.
2: This is about four weeks after Tenn's first day back at school (chapter 7)
3: There is no third point.
I've got plenty of free time lately so I think the chappie's will be coming quite fast over the next few weeks. Lucky you.**
