Chappy 7! In early chapters I said words that must have made no sense so I guess here I'll tell you a bit.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but my characters. I have no idea what the words in Irken are and/or mean. So I just made them up. But there is an age system. Remember, I do not know any Irken so it's made up. I will also use these words in other stories. .

"My sister and I found the secret of the universe…"-Kayla.  I might have to take that down due to Kayla's 'sister'. She doesn't want anyone copying her sayings but that's what Kayla said. So if anything, blame Kayla. That's right, Blame her!!

A month had rolled by since Nova's appearance. Both Gaz and Dib had to amit; it was much more fun with Nova around. One of the many things they had learned about Nova was that she hardly slept. The last time that she had, was the first night she was here. As she said she only had to sleep for 12 hours for her to be awake for two months. She had one more month to go before she had to sleep again.

Dib worked hard to keep his notes updated with all the info he had gotten from Nova. He was very proud of it all. He found out that MI invaders have to know Old Irken, so Zim would know what Nova would be talking about. He wonder what would happen if the two were in the same room. He was so proud that he showed off to Nova, only to have her help him. He lost some pride but gained it back when he now knew it was right.

Different Breeds There are three different Irken Breeds.

OI: Also called the Original Irken class. This was the first breed; they were peaceful and were advance in technology and medince. Due to their peaceful nature they were easily invaded by other planets and used as test subjects. They were sadly wiped out when the first MI's came along. They based their leadership on royal family lines.

MI: Also called the Machine Irken class. They are the second breed and came from the OI's. They are much more war-like and enjoy killing sprees. They want nothing more then Universal conquest and power. They are much shorter then their OI counterparts, and depend on their Paks to live. Are born in hatcheries deep underground and are un-feeling. Are known for their endless solders. Base their leadership on height.

NI: Also called the Natural Irken class. The last breed. They are much more peaceful then MI's but can fight wars unlike OI's. They are more friendly and do not depend on Paks. They have their own planet called Ioa. Are going to have an all out war on the MI's. They give birth like mammals and are know to be highly intelligent and hardly ever sleep. They base their leadership much like our government only they have 10 leaders. As the number of rank goes down the less power they have. But each leader is just as important as the 1st.

Notes on Nova and Zim I have come to find that both are the same age and height. But are totally different. Nova is much calmer and fun-loving. While Zim is naïve and a total fool and has much anger issues. I have also seen that male's antennae tend to have only one look while females are almost always curled. Both grow slowly but MI's have their height cut in half by their Paks while an NI will continue to grow for the rest of their lives. I also found out…………To keep you guys sane I will cut this off now.

Fun little bits I found out what my name means in Old Irken!! And the way it's spelt. I had to bug Nova to no end to figure it out.

Dib. In Old Irken: Dajas  Cool huh? Pronounced Da-jas. Meaning in Old Irken: One who pursuits their dreams until achieved.  That sounds just like me!

Gaz. In Old Irken: Jazzanna Jazz? I think Nova has this one wrong. Pronounced Jazz-anna. Meaning in Old Irken: In female tense. She who lives by her own rules and hates outside interference or She who will not crack under stress.  Never mind. That's Gaz.

Nova.  Yup. I got hers. Meaning in Old Irken: Sentences wise, a star that is in its dying stage. Name wise, She who keeps calm and will always shine in the darkest hours. An honorable name for those of high intelligent.  That name fits her really well. She is really smart.

Sen. I think she hates me. Pronounced Send without the d. Meaning in Old Irken: Female tense. She who guards with much care and power.  Guard? Oh, she guards Nova.

Zim. I have no idea why. Meaning in Old Irken: Believe to be loyal or royal.  Nova had a hard time with his. She believes that isn't his whole name, that he just shortened it.

-----End of Dib's notes-----

Did was very proud but Gaz and Sen were a little worried that he might take it too far.

This has been like a review chapter so don't yell at me!!

I'm guessing with the Irken language so don't tell me that isn't real, I know. But that is the real years in earth and in Irken.

The coconut song comes in the next chapter.

You have been warned!
