A/N • I am sorry the last few chapters have been pathetically short. (I know I know, try harder Raven!) Yes, well.....But this chapter shall make up for it. Am I correct, or what? Hey, now my story has a PG rating. What the heck, I might be in such a mood I'll make it R if I want it!! :o) Maybe I'll just stick with PG!
Has anyone noticed that this (¥) looks a lot like the Irken sign? You know...if you look at it closely, I mean. I just thought that was interesting...

Zim's Mission Log::
I swear, one of my plans might actually work!! It's amazing! Dib fell for her like....like...a rock of a cliff! (I am not very good at these Earth expressions) It's pathetic how these...emotions...can blind humans so badly. I even saw Courtney's hologram flicker for a moment in school today. Tak noticed too.
Speaking of Tak, she's back. She claims her alibi is innocent, but I don't believe her. But for what...I must now. No Tak can fool the eyes of the almighty ZIM!!! .....Sorry. Anyways, Courtney went to Dib's base, er, house today. Wonder what that'll bring up?
I've got to thank the Tallest for sending me Courtney. She's perfect for this wonderful scheme. (Thanks to my superior brain meats I might add!) She's dim, but she is good on a mission. Her actions today were so....human. She almost fooled me!! I'm really starting to like her. WITHOUT her stink-beast disguise however. I like the way her antennae are so long and curly. That's cute...
WAIT ONE GOSH DARN FRICKIN MINUTE!!!
(Earth slang does come in handy some time!)
I just said Courtney was cute. Ew, that makes my spine shrivel in pain at the horrifying thought of Courtney. Cute. Yeah right. Whatever. Although she does have a nice eye color. Amber...yes...very rare in Irkens actually. It is supposedly a sign of intelligence. That makes me laugh...Courtney....intelligent.
Although she is cute.
AH I AM SO CONFUSED! I must go through this....sufferable internal struggle later, for Courtney has returned to the base. (Her and Gir are watching a GS3 advertisement.)
This is Invader Zim...signing off.
•¤•¤•¤•¤•
"You're late Courtney." Zim said acidly. "I told you to be here at 6:15 precisely. Why didn't you listen to me? Is the Dib-human really that amusing?"
Zim wasn't really mad. In fact, he could have cared less. But he just really wanted to scare Courtney. And it was working. Working well actually.
"I'm sorry Zim. Dib was showing me everything he had about you. You could say I was...gathering information. He even had a profile on your personality." Courtney said, stumbling over her words.
Zim's expression softened. "Really?" An evil grin spread across his face. "What did it consist of?"
"Uh, well Zim, it started out that you were an egotistical moron." Courtney said quietly.
Zim scowled. "I am not a moron. There is none more intelligent than Zim and my inferior brain meats!"
"Er, don't you mean 'superior'?" Courtney asked.
"Yes yes. That's why I said. Superior." Zim's antennae twitched. He was angry that Courtney had learned nothing from the trip at Dib's base. He turned around and headed toward the lab.
"He knows I'm staying with you!" Courtney called to his retreating back.
"You told him?" Zim was furious. "He was supposed to find out on his own Courtney. Why in Irk's name did you tell him?"
"I am assuming that was a bad thing to do." Courtney said sheepishly.
"Yes Courtney." Zim's voice had an edge to it. "It was a very bad thing. It could jepordize this plot Courtney! HAVE YOU NO REGARD FOR MY MISSION!?!"
'Hey buddy, I can yell too.' Courtney thought. "YEAH, I DO HAVE SOME REGARD FOR YOUR....STUPID....PATHETIC MISSION. I QUIT. BECAUSE YOU TAKE EVERYTHING TOO DAMN SERIOUS!" Courtney yelled. With that, she stomped toward the kitchen, and down to the lower level basement where her room was.
Zim stood agahst. He hadn't expected Courtney to actually yell back. 'Maybe I should apologize.' Zim thought. 'NAH!'

Courtney's Mission Log::
Zimmy is being unbearably mean to me. I didn't do nothing. Nothing at all. It's a good thing I brought Bear with me. I thought I'd need a teddy bear to hug. (Zim won't lemme touch him!) I love Zimmy, I really do. But why is he so mean? Is it because he's been picked on and ridiculed his entire life, and he wants to impress the Tallest and the entire planet of Irk? Possible.
Or maybe he's in a grumpy mood because Gir painted lipstick all over his face today while he was napping. Heh, could be.
The Dib-human is alright really. His sister is going to be a problem. She doesn't really like me. Well, according to Dib she likes no one, but she really hates me. Well there's another enemy for me.
Tak is here. On Earth. She can't stand it, can she? She's only here because of Zim. She likes him. She has always has to have everything I want. Oh well, why can't we be friends? We used to be. Back in PreSmeechSkool.
But Zim.
Zim is the reason we aren't friends. We've been fighting for him for decades. It's just...I'm a lot more obvious with my love then she is. Oh well....
Maybe Zim will be happier tomorrow. I'm going to Bloaty's with Gir for some pizza and Poop Cola.

"Damn it." He pounded a fist on his desk. His life was so complicated. Zim turned around his rolly chair, ready to do more research when the door bell rung. "Computer, full zoom on camera one at entrance." Instantly there was a picture of a girl, absentmindely tapping her foot, impatient. "Tak." He muttered.
He put on his wig and lenses, (much to his displeasure) and somehow managed to get to the front door without tripping over anything. He opened the door and faced Tak.
"What took you so long?" She asked coldly. She stepped in his house.
"My sworn enemies don't usually come to my doorstep Tak. What do you want?" Zim said removing his lenses and wig. 'All that trouble and I don't even need them'.
Tak followed suit and her hologram disguise dissapered. "I want a truce." Tak said, dusting her attennae off.
Zim's jaw dropped. "You're joking." He stuttered. "Tak, you've never ever made a truce before. Do you even know how?"
"Yes, of course I know how." Tak snapped. She held out a gloved hand. "Truce?"
"Truce." They shook hands. Tak quickly withdrew hers. "Although, I must ask. Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why a truce. After all these years, you've never wanted a truce before, why start now?"
Tak hesitated. She hadn't planned on Zim asking why. "Well, I figured if I'm going to be on this planet a while, I might as well become friends with you." She looked up at Zim.
Her eyes were full of sadness, happiness, and something else Zim couldn't describe. Her eyes, however, were lacking the usual something in them that she always had when looking upon him. Scorn. Hatred. Extreme dislike.
He gave her a devilish grin. "Ok Tak, that's enough bonding. Besides, if Courtney found out you were here, she'd kill me and you. Jealous you know." His eyes gleamed.
Tak's eyes narrowed. "She would never kill me. Although you are fair game." But she smiled. "I'll go. And see you at skool tomorrow. I feel like shocking the hell out of Dib."
"How?" Zim asked curiously.
Her eyes brightened. "Suprise." And she didn't say anything else. She simply...left.
He was in brighter spirits. Then something clicked in his brain.
'DAMN! HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID!' He thought. 'OH THE CONFUSION! OH THE INHUMANITY!' For he had just identified the look in Tak's eyes. How could he not? He saw it in Courtney's eyes all the time. 'Love.'
"My life sucks."

Zim: I told you Zim was mighty. Two girls dig me. And they're hot.
Dib: You have problems...
Zim: You question my sanity Dib-human?
Dib: Uh...yeah?
Me: Yes..yes..all goes according to plan. Zim is quite the ladies man.
Dib: Heh, if you call Courtney and Tak ladies.
Me: You like Courtney.
Dib: *Blushing* Oh yeah..
Zim: HAHAHA! THERE IS NONE MORE WANTED THAN ZIM!!!!
Me: Who else will like Zim? Tune in next chapter! Someone likes Dib?!? Hey that wasn't in the script!
Dib: Hey! I felt unloved, okay? Just work with me.
Me: *Sigh* You guys are hopeless.
