I'm shocked people are reading this. To warn all the people who want to read this till the end, you have to go through 3 other stories before this plot is done. Yep 3. In total 4. Three How's. And one following it up like a sequel. So yeah, note I'm not close to being done with this one. One of my long term stories I plan on doing.

I don't own anything but this story and the characters that I'm using, also Old Irken. I don't think that belongs to anyone.

"We're screwed either way, we either die which is bad for we only live for like 100 years, or we are immortal which is also bad cause we just might live to see the end of the world. So yeah, we're screwed." ---Kayla gave me the idea and I changed it.

Times in the Membrain house hold were now speeding up, school was just around the corner, their father was due any day now and Nova had yet to be picked up. Dib was now freaking out.

"What are we going to do Gaz! Dad's gonna be home and Nova's still here! She's doomed!" Gaz just shot him a nasty look.

"If you'll calm down for a moment Dib, we'll tell you about the plan that Nova and I came up with." Dib stopped running like a chicken and gave his sister a puzzled look.

"You guys came up with a plan?" Gaz rolled her eyes. Her brother's stupidity was just annoying at times.

"Unlike most people Nova has a brain. She can also use very well. So will you just shut up and let me tell you?" Dib nodded and sat on the couch, looking at his sister, he clearly wanted to know what the plan was.

"Alright, first off Dad's going to be home in less then 20 minutes, and don't freak out when Nova comes down alright? Dad won't fall for it if you do." Dib nodded his head and glanced at the stairs. Why would I freak when I see Nova? Odd…

"Alright our plan is to get Nova enrolled in our high school. We just need Dad's permission. Two, you must go along with our story, like nod yes and say little things when Dad looks at you. Three, don't do any funny stuff which would involve saying Nova's an alien and agreeing that your insane."

"But I'm not ins…!" Gaz shushed him with her hand.

"Trust me, life will get easier if you just agree, four, Nova will be sleeping in the extra bedroom you know that her resting period is coming up right?"

"Yeah, but what story! Can you tell me?"

"A bit…" She was cut off as the doorbell rang.

"That must be Dad. Remember, if you screw this up it's your arms!"

In all truth Dib and Gaz were in high school and both had gained much height. Both were around 5' 5", but Nova had also grown since she came and was now 5' 8". Taller then most kids in their grade.

Gaz opened the door and their father flew in, clearly happy to be back in his own home then in hotels.

"Hello kids! It's good to be home! Now I can get back to my work." Gaz came up to her father's shoulders and made him look at her.

"Dad, I have a little request to ask."

"And what's that Gaz?"

"Over the summer I made a friend, she's really great. Her parents are going over seas for an important job that they can't pass up. Bad thing is they can't take her with them. Since I was the only friend that she made can she stay here? And also go to our school?" Gaz's father stood there before he returned an answer.

"Can I meet her? I would like to see the type of person she is." Gaz nodded, she knew that her father would just love Nova.

"Hey Nova! My Dad wants to meet you!"

"I'm coming!" Dib almost passed out at the sight of Nova.

She had lost her pale green skin which had been replaced by an almost pale peach, a normal skin tone for a human. Her shirt had been replaced by a light blue shirt that had black swirls all over it. The sleeves were white and long, they also had black swirls only they were more vine-like. Her tight black pants were now loose and baggy light tan pants that had many pockets. A shiny black belt kept them from falling down. Her black boots looked more like hiking boots and had grey soles. Her eyes still were a dark blue only now in human terms, her hair was long and straight that slightly curled at the ends, the hair was a pure jet black and went past her knees. Bangs came over and covered her right eye. Around her neck was a silver phoenix, it shined with much power. The last thing that had changed was that she had ears and her left one had the same silver hoop with gems as that was on her antennae. If anything she looked dazzling and was slimmer looking.

"Hello Dr. Membrain. It's nice to meet you in person." Nova made sure she was acting her sweetest. Though this man made her sick to her gut.

"My! You're a sweet thing! You seem like a nice girl, now how did you meet my daughter?" Gaz groaned, she forgot about this.

"Oh, I met her in the mall. I was trying to get a game-slave. I bumped into her, knocking her down. I helped her up and we ended up spending the day with each other." Gaz nodded to this. It seemed really true. It was now was when she noticed Sen was behind Nova. Oh, no. Bad thing for Gaz, her father saw Sen too.

"My! There's a robot behind you! Dib, did you make it?" You could tell that he was trying to get Dib involved.

"Wha? No! I didn't! It's Nova's!" The white coated man looked at Nova.

"So your name's Nova? You made that robot?" Nova looked at Sen with shock.

"Well, I didn't build her body, but I made the program that she's running on." Membrain rubbed his chin.

"A 'she'? So it has the personality of a female?" Nova nodded, it was easy to tell she was proud of Sen.

"Yes. Why don't you ask her for yourself? Sen, why don't you make yourself known to the man?" Sen's eyes flashed red and she walked up to Membrain.

"Greetings Sir! My name is Sen. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer." Membrain clapped at the little robot.

"Amazing! You have a knack for this type of science?"

"Yes. I like just about every about science, I can do just about thing I want when I'm in the mood. I can bring down any firewall and crack any code among other things. It's what I've been studying all my life."

"Dib, why can't you be more like Nova? Maybe I'll give the Membrain Empire over to her!" Dib looked sheepishly down. He had no idea how those words stun him. Gaz saw this but gave it no mind.

"Dad, about my questions?" Membrain just looked at her.

"What questions?" Gaz looked down at the floor, this was just becoming too much for her to take.

"They were if she could stay here until her parents came back and if you could enroll her in our school. I also want to say that I'll be in the same grade as Dib, Nova is also in our grade." Membrain merely laughed and fondled his daughter's slightly longer hair.

"Of course Gaz! I'll do it right now! Who knows, maybe Nova will make Dib less insane!" He went down stairs to his labs with a phone in hand.

Nova kept her smile until the sound of a thick iron door closing could be heard. After that her smile faded quickly and one of disgust came to.

"Gaz? Your father makes me sick! And he wasn't wearing any pants! Who doesn't wear pants under a lab coat!" Gaz could only smile, she too agreed with Nova.

"That went easier then planned. You want a pizza?" Nova nodded and the two girls went to the kitchen, leaving behind a sullen Dib.

Dib, if anything, wanted his father to understand that he was not into 'real science'. But the Para. Already he knew that there were once Phoenixes on Earth. But when humans found ways to kill their young, they fled the planet and the solar system. Nova told him it was possible to have ghosts and hunting. What shocked him more, was when she told him that demons, in truth, are real, but get this, shouldn't be feared. As Nova said, demons only went nasty when someone close has died an unnatural death. Still, Dib had no desire to meet an actual demon, still thinking that demons should be feared and avoided. He was started thinking that Gaz might be half demon.

It was late and Gaz had told him to go to bed early, seeing that she wanted to take Nova shopping for school and their father had told them to take Dib along, seeing that he needed new clothes. Dib mumbled and tracked upstairs, he slipped into his room. He, not brothering to change, crashed on his bed and quickly fell asleep. If he had stayed awake for fifteen seconds, he would have seen his E-mail alert go off. The Swollen Eyeballs had finally sent him a message.

---Some where in Zim's base---

Zim sat in his chair painfully. All summer vacation he had been pumping himself full of human growth genes, but had made sure that he wouldn't turn into a human himself. Like growing hair and could eat their horrible food.

By now his right arm was nothing more then a bruised mass of flesh. But he had the desired result; he was no longer a mere 4' 3" but a 5'6". He chuckled to himself, if he continued on this path he would be taller then the Tallest. Speaking of the Tallest, he hadn't called them all summer. Maybe it was time for a check-up.

"Computer! Connect me to the Tallest!" The computer groaned, but went with the order anyway. The screen next to Zim sparked to life.

-Tallest's Ship-

The Tallest were pleased. They hadn't heard from Zim and life became easier for the two, not only them but the Control Brains who were also onboard. They knew Zim was a bad idea. Two hid themselves in a dark room. Nothing but T.V. screens covered the walls. The two were talking mentally to each other. One had green eyes while the other had a dull grey.

'Project Royal has failed us." The Green eyed one said this.

'We do not know this for sure, give the Project more time. Besides Derisy thinks he'll pull through. We can't deny Derisy; if we do…you know what will happen.'

'Yes, we are not easy to breed. But still, the Project has failed to reach the desired results. He's nothing but an annoyance.'

'He doesn't know he carries the most powerful blood any Irken can dream of holding. He needs time. But, you have to admit, he's much better company then Red and Purple.'

The green eyed one looked at a screen that held Red and Purple on it, both eating nachos.

'Yes, I'm shocked Red hasn't killed Purple yet.'

'Yes. What is Red planning? Who knows? I'm also shocked that Derisy hasn't ordered him to be killed.'

'That is a bad idea. The people love Purple, but they hate Red. But Purple is a horrible leader, he would bring the Empire to its knees. So we have no choice. Red can't rule by himself. Isn't that why we made them both the same height?'

'Yes, I wonder what they're both planning.'

'You mind explaining who's 'they're'?'

'Red and Derisy. Haven't you noticed that Derisy has been ordering more Irkens to be shut down? It's odd, it's like he's bringing the population down so more smeets may be born. But we're going to run out soon, if we don't get the mixers running again.'

'As he would say 'Just a part in my Master Plan.' What is his Master Plan?'

'I don't have an idea. But I heard of the end of the MI Empire.'

'If the MI's go down. What will happen to us? I'm sure the NI's would never take us. Oh, well.' The grey eyed one didn't seem worried at all.

'You're not worried?'

'Not really. Every species have their ups and downs. It was going to happen sooner or later. Now, how did we get to this little chat?'

'We were talking about Project Royal.'

'Oh, yes. Project Royal…the one who has royal OI blood and DNA?' The green eyed one asked this confusedly.

'Yes, there's only one.'

'Oh, what's its name again?'

'You young ones. 'It's' is a 'he'. And 'his' name is Zimatis. A royal name.'

'Does he even go by that name?'

'No, he shorten it. I don't know how much, but he shorted it due to the fact that he felt he was up-staging the Tallest.'

'Oh, where is he?'

'That's the problem. We have no idea. Derisy is very mad at that.'

'A huh. Oh look! Someone's calling the Tallest! It's from………Irth? What in the higher power's ass is that?'

'I swear you young ones are just out of control! It's 'Earth' not 'Irth'!'

'Sure………I'm patching it through anyway!'

'I swear we're your parents nothing but pieces of rock?'

'Funny, Fenja. Very funny. Just watch.'

'I'm not dropping this little talk, you know.'

'I hate you.'

'Sure, I love you too.'

The two mutant Irkens began to watch the screen with much care.

The Tallest's screen flickered to life and a taller looking Zim came to salute.

"Hi, my Tallest! My mission goes well." The Tallest could only stare at the screen in shock.

'Ooohhh, the Tallest look shocked!'

'Shut. Up. Denquin. I'm watching!'

'Well, sorry Fenja!'

"Zim? You're alive? We thought you died!" Screamed Red. He knew that Zim could and would mess every thing up.

"Yes! I also got taller! Isn't that awesome?"

'Wait a minute! Did he say his name was Zim?' Fenja or grey eyed one said quickly.

'Yeah…where are you getting with this?' Denquin didn't really like the fact that Fenja acted like she knew every thing.

'At least try to block your thoughts! I don't know every thing and if I did, I wouldn't be here with you!' Denquin felt like he could cry. Unlike the other MI's the Control Brains could have feelings.

'That…that just hurts. I thought we were mates!'

'I'm joking! I really love you! Please stop crying, I didn't mean any of it!'

'O…okay. It's just been one of those days, tons of stress. Having to deal with the Tallest. Project Royal on screen.' Fenja just stared at Denquin.

'Den? That's what I'm getting at! That Irken on screen IS Project Royal! His name's Zim. No other Irken has a name close to that! We have to tell Derisy that we found Project Royal!'

'Oh my Irk! This is awesome!'

'Oh, my poor, poor insane but cute mate.'

Before Zim could continue the Control Brains cut off Zim's call. No one on board gave it another thought.

For the next two hours, Zim did nothing but stare at the fizzing screen.

Yay for Fenja and Denquin! Denquin was once really smart, but when Zim went on Trial, he helped de-code his data and he went some-what insane. But Fenja loves him all the same. Those two have direct access to Derisy and other things like that.

My longest chappy ever! YES! Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this chappy. I tried to make it funny.
