Stalking in Shadows

Zim had decided to follow Kar, after skool. He saw her bright red head, and followed it through the partly crowed side-walk. She knew very well he was there, and was just pretending she didn't. Kar even looked back every once in a while, like she knew something was there, but couldn't tell what. Poor Zim, being occasional moron is he, was fooled.

Zim hid behind a tree (which was too skinny for him to hide well behind), as Kar turned around again. She went on walking. Finally she went down a street, this street Zim had passed many times. Kar went up to a door and into a house. It was a normal looking one

that had been there even before Zim's. Somehow, Zim knew it was different. Alien senses, maybe? Anyway, he crept closer. Zim stood behind a bush and looked in the window. The interior of the house was normal. Zim saw a tiny dog run up to her. At first Zim thought it was moving carpet, for its fur covered its legs completely, so it looked like it was floating. The dog had a fluffy tail, big black nose, and beady-looking eyes. Around its neck was a red, spiked collar.

"Hmm. Nothing out of the ordinary. I shall wait!" Zim declared to no one.

"Come on, Zat. Let's go upstairs." The grey dog barked, and floated up the staircase. Kar opened the door to a room, it was a bedroom. Zim followed, using his pak's jets. Zat quivered, as if it were cold. The bedroom door shut, and the room could be seen clearly. Kar's bedroom didn't match her punked out appearance. It was all…high tech. Zat quivered again. So did Kar. It kept going, and their images grew mutilated.

"What is going on?" Zim asked, the air.

Suddenly it stopped. There stood a shiny, and small robot. It was accented with orange, and had the Irken symbol for an Invader on its forehead, which was also in orange. A stripe of matching colours, fitted to its no-attached legs. Zim stared at the robot. This could only mean one thing. He looked at Kar. Only, it wasn't the Kar he knew, that stood there. It was an Irken female, but she was so odd it made Zim even more curious. Kar, was an Invader? What could this mean?

Zim eyed Kar more closely. Actually, I suppose I should called her Invader Kar, for now. Her skin was the Irken trademark, and she had the right outfit. Her pack was silver and a sky blue. Kar's antennae were pointed and curled, one having some kind of a dangling earring. It was a tiny and gold, with a blue circle in the middle. Kar's outfit, was the same blue was her pak. She also had black, in it too. Her gloves had a single strip of blue, and her boots had attachments that looked like blue straps. Her top was blue, with a black collar, and shoulders. Kar's stripped sleeves matched well. Zim noticed she had something like a black coat-tail attached to the back, of her top. Her pants were grey, and tightly fitted. Another piece of metallic jewelry hung around the invader's neck. It was a dog tag, just like the one the human-Kar wore. It must be the same. What made him really flip, were her eyes. For they weren't the usual purple or even red. They were orange. It suited her, and made him marvel. That second, Zim realized she was once one of Those Smeets (or a TS). Those Smeets were unnaturally made, from the tube. Just had all invaders. They were different however, and showed that the smeet was destined to be great. Zim gasped, as she turned her head towards the window. He used his spider-legs and quickly hid. Then, Zim walked back to his home-base, rather dazed and confused.
