Tak now had no idea where she was now. She glanced around and saw the flaming wrekage of a ship, and a small body near it. "Zim? is that you?" She glanced at him and saw the bloody wounds all over him. "T...Tak?" Zim said lightly while coughing. She started to cry. "Tak, don't cry, it's okay, you'll survive." "I know but what about you?" "I guess my time has come." She lightly picked up his head, making sure not to touch his wounds and make things worse for him. He lifted his hand and lightly brushed her cheek. "Goodbye, Tak." And with that he turned his head and closed his eyes and didn't open them again. Her mind was now a blur. 'Zim...dead...betrayal...dead...
crash...Zim...love...hurt...you...dead...hurt.' Then she saw a long tall purple figure tower in the darkness. "Was it you that did this to my Zim!" She then could make out it's smirk. "Awwww... look at that, Miss Tak Has a boyfriend, or should I say HAD a boyfriend." Tak could do nothing but gawk at it with anger in her eyes "I truly am sorry about this, but you and your little friend Zim are a threat to the Irken empire." It then motioned to the flaming wreakage. "We had to shoot down your cruiser once we saw it." "However, we didn't anticipate that you would survive such a tremendous crash, but I have specific orders from the galactic counsil (a universial equivilant of the U.N.) to destroy you at any costs, goodbye, Miss Tak, it hasn't been a pleasure knowing you." And then she realised that it was almighty tallest Purple charging at her with a clenched fist.
Tak then woke up in a sweat. 'whoa, what the hell was that all about?' She got up and instinctively walked to Zim's room and plopped in his bed, making careful not to wake him up. It's not that she loved him as a boyfriend or anything, it's just that he made her feel...safe when he was around, like a father. Besides, she's a light sleeper; she'll just go back to her bead by dawn, before Zim gets up. She slid an arm underneath his slowly breathing chest to cling to him and went to bed. By now it was morning and she was preparing some eggs and waffles when Zim entered the archway. "Morning, Tak." She blushed lightly, remembering how good it felt to be around him last night. "Good morning, Zim" He sat down and asked, "What's on the menu today?" "I made some eggs for me and Mimi and some waffles for you and Gir when they wake up." Zim then stared directly at her. "Tak?" Tak looked away from the stove for a second "Yes Zim?" "Listen, what ever happed to you last night, it's okay." Tak blushed heavily 'Oh shit, did he see me?' "What are you talking about?" "Aw, come on Tak, I saw you clinging to me like a second Pak last night, and I just want to tell you, what ever happened to you last night to make you do that, it's okay." There was long silence between the two, not the awkward one though, a more nice one to help them concentrate on their own thoughts about each other, they both thought that they loved each other, but then denied it to themselves, laughing innerly about how stupid that sounds, but still she did find him like a father and Zim felt like she was his daughter, some one he needs to protect from dangers... Just then GIR ran screaming out of the trashcan and flopped down on the floor. Tak sighed, she really liked the silence to really observe Zim and by his expression, she thought he felt the same. "WHATS FOR FOOD!" Gir shouted "Waffles, Gir." Tak replied sharply. After they were finished and Gir stopped shoving whole waffles down his mouth and Mimi stopped experimenting with different ways of eating an egg, Gir shouted. "ZIMMY LURVES YOU TAKKY!" Zim's face turned beet red after he was finished. "NO I DON'T GIR, SO SHUT UP!" "Aw, come on Zimmy, you told me about the little flutters in your stomach when you're around her and the..." Gir was then interrupted by Zim picking him up by the top of his head. "GIR! GO DOWNSTAIRS AND PLAY WITH MIMI OR SOMETHING!" And then Zim shoved him down the trash can while Mimi followed him down, screaming. "Don't believe him Tak, he likes to lie and..." He was cut off by her smooth, calming voice "It's okay Zim." After a moment of silence, Zim started on serious matters. "I think we'll need to move on to the hotel today, I've had to duck out of at least five transmissions today and I think the tallest are getting to suspect something now. Tak nodded in agreement. Later on that day, everyone packed up there stuff and headed down to Zim's cruiser.
