"Eh?"


Goop

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Stressed
Klavier chuckled as he watched a few female Irkens pass by him. One glanced back at him as they walked by and wiggled her antennae. Klavier slyly grinned and then yelped. Purple had kicked him. The table they were sitting at had bounced as Klavier yelped. Purple smirked as the female quickly looked away from them. Klavier slouched in his seat and crossed his arms. His green fingers clicked against the arm of the chair as he pouted.

"I thought you were going to talk to me about Googia," Purple grumbled.

Klavier's antennae perked up at this and he grinned. Purple didn't like Klavier's grin.

"It's only fair that I tell you about her," Klavier sighed as he smirked and picked at a claw.

"What's important about her?" Purple dryly asked.

"You act like she's wasting your time," Klavier scolded.

"She isn't, but you are," Purple warned.

"You should show more respect toward your mother," Klavier scolded.

"And you should…what?"

Klavier smirked as he sat up. He watched as Purple's mouth hung open. Klavier raised an antenna in question. He hoped that he hadn't shocked Purple too much.

"Impossible," Purple weakly said as he looked to Klavier to agree.

"That scientist you spoke to told you of Googia," Klavier explained as he tried to remain serious.

"How do you know of Mun?" Purple suspiciously asked.

"I know everything," Klavier declared as he wiggled his fingers for dramatic effect.

"What if I don't believe you?" Purple questioned.

"I know that I speak the truth, whether you chose to believe it or not doesn't really bother me," Klavier replied with a casual shrug.

Purple remained silent as he thought this over. He scowled at the new information. It would explain how a Pakless Irken arrived on Irk. It would also clear up why he was Pakless. Purple's antennae shot straight up as his eyes bulged.

"That means we're related!"

Klavier simply began to laugh.


Red grumbled as he walked down the back alleys of Zeta. All his wanderings had gotten him familiar with the planet. He could already see that the humans and Irkens were beginning to separate and segregate. Red grimaced at the thought of being caught on the human side. He had already had various objects pelted at his head; the strangest object was a rubber pig. Red scratched the side of his head in memory. He came out of the alley shadows and scowled. His antennae twitched when he noticed the way the houses were built.

'Human area,' Red thought.

His eyelids dropped a bit giving him a look of anger as he stepped back into the shadows. He began his wandering once more. Red figured that if he wandered enough he might be able to wander away from the nightmares and nonexistent memories that haunted him. He didn't need sleep because his power cell kept him charged, but it was still nice to be able to close your eyes and pretend to rest. He kicked a rock away from him and turned his gaze to the sky.

'So…natural,' Red thought.

He remembered that Irk didn't have a sky like Zeta's. They fully mechanic planet had long ago lost its beautiful sky and sun. The sky was turned darker because of their own type of pollution. Red scowled and eventually made it to the Irken area. The streets were still empty, but he figured he wouldn't have things pelted at his head. Red stopped at a corner and sighed. He figured he should just go back to that little dome house and wallow in his mind again. He turned around and noticed two Irkens dodge into an alley.

Red scowled and his eyes narrowed. He figured it was those Irkens that had been protesting against the humans. He twitched his antenna and turned around. Their matters didn't concern him. He took a step forward and froze when he heard it. A scream. Red's features softened a bit and he went to look over his shoulder. He quickly faced forward.

'Not my concern.'

He took another step forward and he heard a whimper. Red bit his lower lip took another step forward.

'I don't care.'

Another scream.

'What the hell?'

Red quickly spun on his heel and turned to face the area where the Irkens vanished. His features hardened when he heard another scream. He growled and took a step forward.

'I don't care…just curious.'

He stepped into the alley and raised an antenna in confusion. He didn't see anything but a large dumpster. Red sighed in relief and went to leave. His antennae stood went ridged when he heard it.

"Keep it quiet…someone might hear."

Red began to walk into the shadows and his eyes glared at the dumpster. He heard a whimper and he scowled even more. Red quickly curled his two fingers in and banged on the dumpster. His hand ached, but the ignored the dull throb.

"Help!"

Red's antennae flattened to his head and stepped around to the side of the dumpster. He noticed that there was a small space. He walked over to it and his eyes widened in shock.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Red growled.

He watched as the two younger Irkens turned to face him. Red blood coated their hands. His eyes traveled to the Irken that was holding the human hostage. He held her under her arms and one hand covered her mouth. Her clothing was ripped and she was covered in a strange green goop. The one Irken dropped her and took off running. Red cracked his fingers and he watched the other Irken slowly back off.

"What were you doing?" Red growled.

"Just a human," the Irken stuttered before he darted away.

Red relaxed as he watched them go. He figured there was nothing he could really do to them. His attention was diverted when he heard a whimper.

'The human,' Red thought with disgust.

He turned his gaze to her and grimaced. Most of her clothes were torn. They had carved her back from what he could see. The painted her green and wrote in her blood that 'Irkens don't bleed Red.' Red cautiously took a step toward her and she curled into a ball. He could easily tell that she was only a child. She wasn't very tall or very big. He reached out and tapped her with his foot.

"Hey, get up," Red said as he tapped her on an uninjured area of her back.

She whimpered and he could hear the tears. Red kneeled next to her and his hand hesitated above her shoulder. He gently tapped her shoulder and she began to shake.

"Hey, I told you to get up," Red grumbled. "Why aren't you listening?"

Red fixed his position and made it so he was next to her face. He could see that her eyes were slammed shut and there were tears. Red rested his arms on his bent knees and stared down at her. He didn't know anything about humans or smeets.

"Hey," Red carefully said watching his tone. "Look at me."

Red's eyelids raised up leaving his eyes fully visible. He watched as she stopped shaking. Red puffy eyes stared up at him with pure fear. The breath was knocked from him as he felt déjà vu. He didn't know why, but right now, he felt something digging at the back of his mind. Red refocused on her scarred eyes and noticed that they were an ice blue.

"What's your name?" Red questioned. She didn't respond.

"How old are you?"

She remained silent and remained curled in her ball. He slowly reached out so he wouldn't startle her and tapped her on her forehead.

"Something broken in there?" Red mused as he scrunched his face up in thought.

His antennae stood up a bit when he heard a chuckle. He turned his gaze back to the child and tilted his head to the side in thought. She slowly sat up, but winced. Her blue eyes stared up at him expectantly. Red blinked and one antenna lowered in confusion.

"Where do you live?" Red questioned.

She blinked and continued to stare up at him. He sighed and stood up. She blinked up at him and carefully stood up. He watched her wobble a bit but she managed to stand. The green goop dripped off of her and onto the ground. Red watched as she watched the goop drip off of herself. She then looked up to him again.

"I guess you should go home," Red mumbled as she blinked at him.

Red shrugged and turned to walk away. He got away a few feet and he heard the sound of the goop dripping. He glanced over his shoulder and his eyes widened in surprise. She was following him. He stopped walking and she stopped walking as well. Red sighed and turned to face her, well stare down at her.

"What's your name?" Red firmly asked.

"Eh?"

Red's left antenna perked up in confusion. He knew that wasn't a name.

"Where do you live?" He tried again.

"Eh?"

'Can't leave her out here alone,' Red thought as he stared down at her. 'She's human, not my concern.'

Red gazed down at her and realized that she was still bleeding. He grimaced and held out his hand to her. Her eyes lit up and took his hand without question. Red watched as her blue eyes studied his two fingers and then traveled to his face. Red began to walk forward and he tugged her along a bit. He looked down at her again as they walked and noticed she was still staring at him.

"If you don't have a name…I'm going to call you Goop," Red declared.

"Eh…"

"Guess that means you like it," Red sighed as he continued back to his home.

He figured he could have picked up something worse than a human. Red smirked.

'A human child can't be that bad,' Red thought.


Purple sighed as he walked inside his dome house. His violet eyes traveled across the area and he figured Red was gone again. The former Co-Tallest liked to wander. Purple never even knew that red liked to walk. He never had turned off his hover belt before. Purple sighed and jumped into his chair, it was his favorite chair because it was fluffy and purple. He closed his eyes and frowned. Learning he was related to Klavier was shocking.

The front door slammed opened and Purple's eyes snapped open. His mouth dropped at the sight he saw. Red was carrying a green, bloodied child. Purple immediately stood up and reached behind his back for the laser gun he carried. He knew that this day would come again. Red raised an antenna in question as he scowled.

"Go run a bath, Goop is hurt!" Red snapped.

Purple froze and an antenna rose in confusion. Red walked past Purple carrying the child. Purple blinked and followed Purple.

"What are you doing?" Purple questioned, he still had his hand on the gun.

"Some Irkens were tormenting her…I helped her," Red said as he realized that he actually helped a human.

"You…you helped a human," Purple softly said in shock.

"Yeah, now go run Goop a bath!" Red snapped.

Purple nodded dumbly and turned to go to the bathroom. He stopped and smirked as he turned to Red.

"You named her Goop?"

Purple's answer was scowling Red.
