Author's Notes: I do not own Invader Zim, Jhonen Vasquez does AND HE'S A GOD!
Ok people I've got a chapter 5 up. Don't worry, all your questions will be answered throughout the story lol. This chapter is kinda dull in the beginning but deal with me people please.
Ch 5 – Lost but Found (Do I Love Thee?)
"Computer, how much farther til I've reached the coordinates?"
"Precisely 5 Earth Minutes Prof. Membrane"
Dib sighed and looked around, nothing but desolate space and some debris from old spaceships. He still wasn't very sure if he would find Tak in all of this; after all, Space isn't a walk in the backyard.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this..." he sighed to himself.
He felt the gravity pressure change and glanced outside, he had entered an old, vacant area that held more burning wreckage. He shifted his gaze and saw a small purple and black voot floating aimlessly around the mess, looking closely he saw the Irken writing upon the ship just like the writing on Zim's voot.
His heart leapt into his throat as he steered in that direction. He put on a space suit and opened the doors, slowly floating out into Space. He flew over to the broken voot and peered inside, sadly he found no occupant.
"Great, just my luck..."
He whirled back and headed to his ship. Suddenly a shadow caught the corner of his eye; he turned to another floating ship that seemed less wrecked than the voot. His eyes grew wide as he saw what looked like a lifeless figure hanging out from the window of the vessel.
He went over and saw a tattered body, clothes slightly torn. He peered over and saw the face of a green female Irken, Tak. Gently he took her up into his arms and back to his space craft.
Slowly he laid her fragile body onto a mattress, staring down at her, worried if she would be alright. His mind then dozed off and began realizing how incredible beautiful she was, even though she wasn't human.
Her appearances were indeed a sight to behold, he admired her bodily curves, and how they arched so perfectly giving her a slender but still fierce exterior. The way her uniform, though torn and hanging loosely, still clung to body giving her that tight look. Most of all was her face, the beauty of this female Irken gave him a sense he couldn't quite figure out. Yet looking upon her he felt his heart beat excitedly, a sensation of longing held within his chest.
She stirred and he became still. Slowly her eyes opened, large violet orbs wandered aimlessly around her surroundings. She groaned as Dib took her hand into his.
"Are you feeling alright?" He asked
She shot up in a heartbeat and glared at Dib, confusion, anger and fear all mixed into her intense stare.
"Who are you, are you going to kill me?" She reached for her laser but suddenly doubled over in pain; luckily Dib caught her up in his arms and held her against him.
"No, I'm here to help you." He crooned softly as Tak tried to push herself away from him. She growled angrily.
"I don't need some stupid earth stink's help!"
"I'm here because Zim and Gaz need your help!"
She stopped resisting and looked up.
"Zim? Oh I remember you now. You're that one little earth boy that knew about Zim being an alien. You wanted to prove it to the world what he truly was."
He smiled, glad she remembered him.
She turned away and added, "You had the big head."
He sighed and muttered, "My head is NOT big, fer christ's sake!"
He stopped when he heard her slight giggle, which abruptly stopped when it was noticed. She cleared her throat.
"What does Zim want?"
"He needs you on Irk to help stop some sort of rebellion..."
She huffed at the word "Irk".
"I am not going back there! That good for nothing planet is a waste of my time! I went back there after Zim cast me off, and the Tallests just laughed and jeered at my loss. Who cares about being an Invader? I'm going to do things my way!"
"That's all fine and great Tak but if you don't help out then the universe as we know it will fall into darkness! Then our kids-"
"What kids?"
Dib covered his mouth in shame. His face began to flush a crimson.
"Our uh... kids meaning well... that ...you see uh..." He stammered
Tak grabbed Dib by the collar of his shirt and shook him.
"OUT WITH IT!"
"OUR FUTURE KIDS! WE'LL BE MARRIED AND WE'LL HAVE KIDS!"
Tak stopped shaking Dib around and stared at him in awed silence. Dib smiled shyly and looked down to the floor, reciting what had happened a while ago before he had gone to find her.
"...so you see, that's why I'm here."
Tak nodded, taking in the new info.
"So you came to rescue me..."
Dib nodded
"...and in the future we will be married and have offspring?"
He nodded again, "Crazy huh?"
"No not really...I just never thought that it would happen..."
Dib tilted his head to the side, a little surprised she didn't get ticked off by the news. She seemed rather...pleased.
"I do have a question to ask of you...human"
"Call me Dib"
"Ok Dib. You say you came out here to find me right?"
"Yes"
"I want to know..." she looked up into his eyes and asked softly, "...if you didn't know that we'd have kids, or that we would end up together, would you have gone to find me eventually?"
He didn't even have to think. He raised her chin up so she was eye level with him and whispered.
"I would have gone out and searched every galaxy just to find you Tak."
She smiled at his response, "You are a foolish earthling, to choose another species ESPECIALLY ONE THAT HATES EARTH AND ITS INHABITANTS!"
Dib winced at the harsh remark but then felt a gently hand caress the side of his face.
She spoke again, "You may be a fool, but...so am I for liking the fool that you are..."
He grinned and stood up, "We're heading to Irk to meet up with Zim and Gaz, rest easy Tak."
"I will, just let me know when we get there."
He gave her a hug and turned to leave her to sleep
"Goodnight Tak"
He watched her turn over in the mattress and heard her sigh.
"Night Dib"
