Project 59 by Bonez aka HappyNoodleGurl Chapter 26

Zim said she could stay at his base for the time being, so Kia stretched out on the couch lazily. It was 11:50pm earth time, and she couldn't get to sleep. She had a special mission straight from the Tallest themselves---to retrieve the "earthanoid" named Raye. Red had said something about her being their "dirty little secret" one time, but she had ignored it until now.

So she lay here, thinking as much as she could about this "Raye." It seemed familar. It's like trying to read words in a very dim room: You could almost make out the words---just almost, but it always comes out blurry until the light comes on. The only thing she remembers about her is the speech they gave at the time they became the Tallests.

"The time is near! Soon Irk will be known to every race in the galaxy as their rulers! Hail Impending Doom!" The crowd cheered on as a huge flat screen appeared behind them. A picture flashed on showing blueprints of a small creature---two legs, two arms, short with hair on her head. Kia remembered this because it was so strange at the time.

It had five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot, and one small brown circle-like thing on both sides of her chest. Inbetween them it bared their symbol for the Tallests. She couldn't believe that they were going to win the war with this "thing."

"The sample we collected from that burning Velek ship we forged was the blueprint for our most brilliant future! In this thing, we have placed a chip inside her heart chamber with unspeakable technology that is crucial to us."

But when someone asked what this "technology" was, they couldn't say. She laughed dryly. "For our leaders, they're a bunch of douche bags........" For 20 long "earth" years, she had been without her beloved mate. Of course, she would never tell Zim that she missed him, but the truth was she did---dearly.

So smiling, she got up and walked to the elevator. "Computer! Take me to Zim!" she screeched, as she went down miles underground. The earth was such a strange place to live, she thought randomly. The elevator stopped suddenly and opened up its doors. The room was dark, and the sound of static montiors played in the backround. She noticed Zim in a chair infront of a wide, T.V. like one.

She walked up to him and noticed he was asleep. Wiping a strand of drool from his open mouth, she smiled, until noticing what was on the screen. A picure of a girl twidling her thumbs on the side of her bed was on. She had black hair and red eyes, and was wearing nothing more than a white shirt and underwear. Staring a hole into the wall it seemed, she sighed.

Kia noticed something in Zim's hand. Taking it gently as not to wake him, she saw it was a picture of the girl on the screen. A fountain roared in the background, and for some strange reason is seemed that her smile taunted Kia, as if to say "I have your man."

"I have your man," she said quietly staring at the screen, picture gripped tightly in her grasp. Suddenly, she realized this was "her." It was Raye, wasn't it? That girl. Zim wanted that girl. Then, a feeling unlike anyother started breeding fastly inside her heart. She stared at those crimson eyes and hated them. Hated her. Kia had come to the conclusion that Zim loved this girl, and for that, she would pay. Dearly.

With almost a zombie like trance, she placed the picture back into his hands and walked to the elevator back up to the couch, only to let her anger and jealousy consume her more......

A/N: Wow! This is starting to get better, eh? Lately I've been to "lovey lovey" and just focusing on Dib and stuff, but I think it's about to get more than that. Now we're starting with the homicidal thoughts and stoof. ^_^ Whew! I'm sooooo tired, so I'm going to bed. R&R please! Thanks to those who have, and a goodnight folks! Bai!
