chapterTWO, interMISSION
A/N: I'm at the second chapter finally! Let's hope I make it to the third without loosing interest, right? lol It's just last time I tried writing I lost interest after the second chapter, and I just stopped writing all together after words. Of course, I had some random drabble moments, but then again, a child can do that. It takes enthusiasm and encouragement to write a fic, and I didn't really have ether last time. Oh well, in any case, here I am a year later, writing an Invader Zim fanfic of all things. Well, I'm gonna spare you guys and stop ranting now. Please read and review!

Going down one street and then up another. That seemed to be all that the your Irken did for the whole time period she had been on the planet called Earth; four hours to be exact. By now, it seemed like the sun was almost set, but that didn't bother Mak seeing how Lir's eyes were practically fog strobes for her.
"Mak, it's getting late, we should find somewhere that you can rest for now." Lir said in a motherly voice. Mak looked down at the bot in her arms and smiled.
"But Lir, I want to sleep in a bed, it's been so long since I have done that. And I personally don't want to wake up in some laboratory in the middle of this country's military areas. So, we're not going to do anything until we have a home." She said contently, hugging Lir halfway through her thought.
"Oh, Mak, you're hopeless." The SIR unit said with a sigh and a shake of her head in defeat. "But you better quicken your pace, people are starting to wonder and star at you with your crazy orange hoddie." She said as she thought 'if the girl never listened to me in the past, why would she listen now?'
A chuckle from the orange clad girl, "Alright, Mom." And at that she broke out into hysterics and picked her speed up to a full-fledged run, drawing even more attention to the two.
After another hour, and the sun completely setting, Mak saw an empty lot that looked like it hadn't been used in over four decades. Walking up to it and she walked from side to side with a very thoughtful look on her face, as if she wasn't sure whether or not she wanted to live there. After another moment, she decided to and started to jump up and down in joy.
"Yay! Finally, my search has paid off!" She practically shouted to the night air, accidentally throwing Lir up into the air in her mirth. When she noticed that she had thrown Lir in the air, she looked up, just in time to see the SIR unit come crashing down on her head with a clank.
After landing with a thud on the ground, she decided to just stay there, staring off into the starlit sky. Searching for something yet not knowing just what or why. A half hour passed before she decided to move again, getting up and brushing herself off.
"Hey, Lir? What do you think of the view of the sky from here on Earth?" She asked the SIR unit as she pressed some buttons on the backpack and then throwing the bag into the center of the lot.
"It's ok, I guess. It's a lot different than looking at stars when you're up there in person." Lir said thoughtfully while she stared into the sky with her glowing orange eyes as a house built itself up from where Mak had thrown her bag.
After two minutes, the house was completed. It was a simple two stories, and a nice tan-ish color was the house itself. As Mak and Lir walked in, they were shown the first room, the living room. The walls were a nice light blue color, and the couch was a dark mahogany artificial leather couch that took up nearly the whole left wall. In front of it were a small glass table and a TV across from them in the center of the right wall. Simple, yet nice.
They walked through the living room right into the kitchen, which was a pastel pink color. A stove, microwave and fridge take up the left side of the room and on the right was a large wooden table that had seating for 10 people, easy. Right before the table was a door, and Mak opened it to reveal a staircase to the basement, where she would have her miniature lab.
Once in the basement, she walked up to her main computer and started to type into it. After a while, she got into the program that would give her a costume so that she could blend in with the rest of the humans. After choosing the look of a female human, a glass tube came over her body and filled with smoke, and when it lifted there was no longer the green skinned magenta eyed Irken, but the green eyed peach skinned and now brown haired human girl. A look over at herself and she smiled pleased.
"Hey, Lir! Come on down here! We have to choose an outfit for you!" She called up to the SIR unit who came crashing down the steps a moment later with the grace of a two year old. After stopping, Lir stood up and looked at its options of cat, dog, raccoon, and fox. After much thought, it chose fox, weird as it was for foxes to live in a house.
A tube much like the one that had gone over Mak floated over Lir and it also filled up with smoke. The tube went back up and as the smoke emptied there stood on the back two legs was a red fox with white tipped ears and tail and stomach.
"Nya! Lir, you look so adorable!" Mak screeched as she tackled the small creature, hugging it with all of her might.
"Ah, God!…Mak, you're crushing…me!" the small SIR unit cracked out while trying to push itself out of The orange-clad human-looking Irken. Once out of the girls reach, she got a full view of her master. "You look retarded." She said flatly, earning a frustrated kick in the head from Mak, sending her flying across the room and into the wall.
Mak, after throwing her fit, went back to her computer. After a few typing and some web surfing, she found a school that was in the area. Only two blocks away, as luck would have it. She snickered and said to herself "Fabulous, now all I have to do is enroll Nak, Kir and myself, and call them and then by next Monday we'll be fitting in like nothing. Perfect."
"You shouldn't mumble, people won't hear you or understand what you're saying if you mumble." The Orange-eyed SIR unit told her as she walked up to Mak, brushing herself off.
"Oh shush, Lir. I'm just saying to myself how the plans are all going. It's going to be wonderful, Lir. It really will." She said with a giant grin to the SIR unit.
"Mak, please don't be disappointed when things don't turn out your way, it's not always going to go as planned." The unit told her with sadness in her bulb like eyes.
"I don't care!" She said as she turned off the main computer and walked up the stairs, heading towards her bedroom on the second floor. "It will work out this time, I swear it will." She told herself, as she got ready for bed, putting on a loose orange tank top and a pair of orange night pants.

K, some notes first.
---No, Mak does not abuse Lir. As shown in the first chapter, Lir oftenshows signs ofself-destructivebehavior,which givesherself dents and rust. Mak is like a child at heart, she doesn't have a vehemence bone in her body.
---Why does Mak call Lir "Lir"? Answer: Mak remembered that it had "ir" in it but couldn't remember the first letter, so I just called it "Lir" instead because L comes before M in the alphabet.
Why is Lir orange? Answer: Because Mak doesn't like the customary red. It's too violent. So she changed the bulbs one night when Lir was shut off. She did this to the programming as well, as in reprogramming it.
Ask questions, they will be answered in the next chapter.
Please review!
