You know what? I'm just going to cut to the story and for those of you that are going to review...join the dark side! We have muffins...

"Kad, wake up, we're here." Red said as he prodded her gently awake with a long, olive green claw.

She raised her head wearily and smiled, "I'm awake."

"Well what about him? He asked as he pointed at Zim, who was curled up next to her.

Kad blushed and whispered, "Dad, I feel uh…strange around him. You know all happy and tickly-like."

Red smiled, "I've always had a feeling that you would fall in love with him."

"But he's my life long friend; I didn't think friends started relationships."

"Well sometimes friends can surprise you." Red winked as he hovered out quietly. Kad was confused; she had known Zim since, well forever. Loving him felt weird, she couldn't even stop thinking about him. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and looked down at him.

"Zim, we've arrived." She said softly as she reached out and touched his antennae. They quivered and he raised his head sleepily. He gazed at her for a moment before shaking his head; his antennae flopped as he did so. Kad laughed and so did he, he suddenly felt foolish around her now. Kad stood and jumped over to him, but instead of pushing him she kissed him. He held a hand up to his cheek and raced after her once more. After running through many winding hallways they arrived in the control room where Red, Purple, and Tak were waiting. Kad looked out at the glistening white planet and squealed, "Snow!"

Red smiled and said quietly to Pur, "Let's see how in love Zim is with my daughter." Pur nodded and grinned as he watched Zim stand unusually close to Kad. "Hey watch this." Red said as he opened the door but didn't lower the ramp. Kad squealed with joy and ran towards the hole then to almost everyone's surprise, jumped down.

"No!" Zim yelled as he ran after her; but he got there too late. He knelt next to the hole and watched her tumble about thirteen feet until she hit the snow. He glared angrily at Red but to his surprise he saw Red laughing.

"Well mister hero, aren't you going to 'save' her?" Red laughed as he pointed through the opening. Zim darted through and stared at Kad, who had poked her head up from the hole she made as he fell through the air. He landed in the deep, powdery snow with an explosion of the stuff. Tak followed soon after. He climbed out ans saw Kad disappear as she plowed into the snow as hard as she could. He followed easily but when he turned a sharp, sudden corner she had made he got confused. There were three tunnels going in different directions as if she were looking for something. He took the middle one and started to run when he heard snarling. Peering around the corner, he saw Kad bravely fighting a strange black alien. He rushed up to it as it threw her against the wall of something metal. He climbed up the spines of the creature and sat on its shoulders as he tried to gouge out his eyes. Eventually it became weak with blood loss and fell to its knees, never to get up again. Zim, who had been thrown from the shoulders, stood up weakly and looked at his hands. They were covered in the strange alien's blood as well as his own. He panted and limped over to Kad who had gotten up and now was knelt next to something. He peered over her shoulder and gaped in astonishment at what he saw.
