Hi people! It is I, your beloved author person…girl…thing. Well I'm back from that evil trip of doom. On our way out to Colorado we hit, maybe three or four people. But it's okay. I think they were already dead….what? Well I'm back once again. This chapter I'm going to try to make not all sucky like. Some one gave me a "blah, it was okay blah, blah" review and so as to redeem myself this chapter will be the greatest not sucking chapter I've written in the past twenty minutes!

Let the non-suckage begin NOW!

Gaz reached into her closet and pulled out a black trench coat. She slipped in over her shoulders and dropped her Game slave in the pocket. The purple haired teen looked around her room for anything else that she might miss. She would miss her mirror with the crack in it. And she would miss her posters, and skull comforter, and all her demonic stuffed animals. But she could not bring them all. She couldn't bring any of it. She would leave this world with a jacket on her back and video game in her hand.

She glared at the room, it was all useless junk, and she didn't care about any of it! Gaz slammed the door, which fell off the hinges into her hand. The teen tossed it aside like a twig. She stormed down the hall her heart filler with rage and some other emotion she couldn't place. Gaz left her childhood home without even glancing back. She hated it. She hated everything in this world and would happily watch it freeze into a giant snowball. As she walked that feeling remained something was horribly wrong within her. A gripping almost painful feeling in her stomach. She decided just to ignore it. What else could she do? Gaz set off in the direction of the alien base.

Tenna walked through the oddly vacant park. She looked around for any sign of a friend or foe and didn't see any. Her feet were throbbing but such was the price one paid for fashion. She leaned against a tree and pulled off the heels, "Just a minute. Then I keep looking," she promised herself.

"Ah, so you came." A voice said from behind. Tenna looked on the other side of the tree. Tak was standing there smiling. One of her boots was resting against the trunk of the tree and the other was on a mound of crab grass. She was still wearing that same out fit: clunky steel toed boots, purple and black stockings, black skirt, purple shirt and silver jewelry. Her eyes were laden in dark purple eye shadow and her shiny purple lips were still curved into a coy smile, "Hello Tenna."

"You!" Tenna hissed, "What exactly do you want-whatever your name is?"

"Just to talk as I stated in my call. Do not be so paranoid. I notice you keep looking over your shoulder. Do you expect an ambush? Maybe your afraid your little friends will see you talking to a girl in black clothes. You wouldn't want that, no. Would you like to talk somewhere else? Some where a little more secluded?" Tenna eyed her a moment then nodded.

As they walked over the hill Tenna grumbled something about not being quite as shallow as she was being made out to be. Tak laughed quietly she turned her head to face Tenna, "You said you didn't know my name, right? Well it's Tak. And here we are!" she stopped at a bench with a cooler beside it, "I figured you wouldn't want to be seen with, what did you call me again? The goddess of Goth? So I scouted out the park no one comes over here. Ever." She sat down, "Now lets talk!"

Dib barreled down the sidewalk. He was on a mission. As the para-teen raced toward his destination he shoved a two or three people from the walkway, "I'm on a mission!" he'd call as the pedestrian fell toward traffic or stumbled face first into a tree. After some of the blood had rejuvenated Dib had been hit with a new feeling of urgency. Finally the large headed teen reached the glowing house. The green light coming off of it was barely noticeable in the day. He reached the edge of the lawn and stopped.

"This is bad. The battle I'm about to charge into headfirst will be like no other! I'll be facing not only that green skinned monster Zim, but my own sister!" Dib monologued, "What could have caused her to be so scornful of humanity to befriend it's greatest enemy?" he sighed and hung his head in sadness of his sister's unadulterated hatred. As Dib stood there, he heard a mechanical sounding, CLINK. And then the sound of gears turning as the roof opened to revile the Voot Cruiser, with three passengers inside. Zim, Gir, and Gaz! Dib's eyes widened in surprise.

"Gaz! No, Gaz!" he screamed after the craft as it sped away with only the small robot taking any notice to his desperate cries. He chased it a few feet before it disappeared past the red clouds out of sight.

"Damn!" Dib shouted out of frustration. He would have to run all the way home now. There was no chance that he would catch up any time soon. Then he began to wonder, "Wait…where were they going?" he had no time for questions. Dib took off using what little reserve of energy he had left to get home and reach his secret weapon. Tak's ship.

Gaz stared blankly out the window as they zipped through the sky. Zim was rambling about how close their victory was and some thing about The Tallest being so proud. She didn't care. She was in her own world, which was strangely empty. Her mind was racing with no words or pictures involved. Just…just her heart and her head waging a war that she wasn't even aware of.

----------------------------------------

(A/N:I don't even know where I'm going with this stuff. Well I know where the story will end up it's just… It's just that I'm tired and the words aren't coming, as they should. This is all feeling very unnatural right now. I hope I can pull myself out of this by the end of this chapter. Sorry if it's not top quality… I just don't know what's wrong with me. It's only 10:59 p.m. and I feel like resting my head on the keyboard and just sleeping. Sorry if I feel this empty pit of writer's block again I shall keep it to myself. Back to the story! I hope it's okay… Please ignore this little tangent and don't mention it in your review.)

-----------------------------------------

Dib reached the house and stopped to rest a bit. Just long enough to stop panting like a dog. He sucked in a sharp breath then ran to the garage. It was strange, they had every modern technological advance and yet they still had to open their garage manually. Coiling his fingers around the handles. His bandaged hand throbbed as he squeezed the metal ring. Dib hoisted it up making a loud grunting noise as it rose.

The door flew open and the teen raced in, tripping over a stretched out garden hose. He sat up and hissed in pain. The knee of his black pants shredded reviling a scrapped up pale kneecap with crimson slowly pouring out of the torn skin.

"Not your day is it?" a voice snickered from behind. Dib lifted his head and turned around. Tak was lazily leaning against the ship. She looked down at him, "I see you've taken good care of my little craft. Thank you."

"How did you get in here? And when?" he asked puzzled.

"Does that really matter?" Tak responded shrugging. She pushed herself off of it and stepped toward Dib. Immediately forgetting the pain and jumping to his feet.

"Tak! I have a firl griend, err, I mean a girl friend!" he said as though she had just come on to him. He had to stop her before she got the wrong idea. Tak looked at him with sympathetic eyes. He had to keep in mind those were not her eyes. They were a hologram of a girl. This was an alien. He had to remember that.

"What?" he demanded.

"I'm sorry Dib but you have no firl griend." She was suddenly holding a yellow tinted envelope between her middle and index fingers.

"What's that?" Dib asked raising an eyebrow. She extended it toward him, silently. He took it from her, yanked out the notebook paper and began to read the short note.

Dear Dib,

I've been thinking a lot. A whole lot. Today while at the mall with my friends I realized some thing. I can never be happy with you! You're all nice and stuff but I can never be a normal girl and go to prom, or to the movies or do other common adolescent events! You're holding me back from my life, well no more Dib. I'm sorry. But no more. I will be happy. Goodbye Dib,

Tenna

Dib just stared at the paper. His eyes huge, "I should have known…I should have," he muttered to himself as his eyes closed. He fell back and leaned against the wall, "Should have known it was only a matter of time…" then his eyes opened again, "Wait…Tak, where did you get this?" he asked shaking the letter slightly. It seemed she wasn't paying attention. The purple haired teen was running her fingers over the polished red metal, over her own insignia, over her creation. She glanced back at him, "I took it from your mail box." Then she turned around with a solace look on her face, "Dib, I've found out that Zim is more of an idiot than I thought possible. Like I said this plan of his might work except that he forgot a major part of it. I will tell you of the details later but just know. To aide me you must be willing to travel to the ends of your earth with me. Or else risk loosing it. What do you say?"

Dib looked down at the note once more. It was clearly Tenna's hand writing. But he knew he couldn't think of her. He had to save the earth. He swallowed then raised his eyes to meet hers, "Yes. Come on Tak! We've got a planet to save and an alien to destroy!" he opened the door to the cockpit and climbed in, smirking Tak fallowed him inside.

TO BE CONTINUED….

This seemed like a good place to end it. I think there will only be two or three chapters left. I know this one was short and it was interrupted by my self-pity monologue but despite the fact that I'm still in that rut I know it cant last forever. You know what they say, "It can't rain all the time." That can be true for writing too. I will get out of this. I think I've just gotten bored with this story. See I finished the story in my head weeks ago and now I'm just redoing it for you guys. So now I have little interest in it. But don't worry I'll try to make the ending kick ass as possible.

WILL ZIM DESTROY THE EARTH? WILL GAZ JUST LET HIM? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO TENNA? WILL TAK AND DIB MAKE IT THERE IN TIME? AND WHAT WAS WITH THAT SMIRK? WHAT AM I NOT TELLING YOU? WILL THERE EVER BE ANY ACTUAL ROMANCE IN THIS ENTIRE STORY? Find out in like two or three days! In the next chapter of THE GREATEST NONZADR EVER!
