I don't own IZ except for my OC Kira.
"Are you still in love with my dad?" Dib asked as he picked at his sprinkles on his cupcake.
I swallowed my cries before they could escape and leaned my head against the cool metal table and I stared emptily at the wall across from me. Tears threatening to escape even more; perhaps I should have my memories escaped? Perhaps I should get my emotions wiped clean.
"We think you should try to talk to him?" Tak begun, she tapped on my shoulder.
I made no attempt to make a noise or reply. Tenn sighed, "You been moping about ever since you and him broke things off!" she folded her hands together and she frowned deeply. "Kira, you need to stop being depressed about this"
I let my tears stream down my face, after all there was nobody else in this room except for us. "I can't take it anymore! All these years that went by I cared and loved him. I even made you three Irken! I didn't want to have you guys die off like the last mortals I met before you…. I don't know what to do anymore. Should i…should I get my memory erased? Get my emotions wiped?"
"NO!" they shouted. Gaz was glaring daggers at me, her looks kind of make my skin crawl and sting a little. "Never do that"
I let another sigh escape and I lifted my head up and took another sip of my irken specialty and it burned going down my throat but it sure did give me the great effect after. I kind of miss my gummy bears right now, my pink cookies, my choco taco ice cream sandwich and certainly my mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was such a bummer.
When I arrived—well the others helped me to my room since I was stumbling about and almost crashing in everybody in the way… especially the walls and the floor a couple times. I got in my room and passed out on the bed. I didn't even see what the living quarters look like either.

Red and Purple were sitting in their chairs and consuming their large quantities of sugary treats to cure their sugar addiction, though that never really cures it but makes it worse and even more addicting.
"Hey, Red" Purple said as he stuffed his chocolate in his mouth
"What, Pur?" Red said after taking a sip of soda through his silly straw.
"Doesn't Kira look familiar?" they both paused eating and drinking and looked at each other momentarily before continuing on to their sweets. "No, not at all" they thought read hard, they paused real hard and a spark a familiarity is what they felt until they shook it off. "Nah, she doesn't" Red said, finishing his soda. He looked around searching for any more soda and spots one that is on the other side of the room. He stared at it intently, like it was going to levitate over to him.
"uhh, Red what are you doing?" Purple asked while eyeing him in disbelief.
"Trying to see if the force works" Red held out his hand, "come on, come on!" Nothing, it did not happen once. "I give up. Now where are my servants?" He mumbled to himself.
'Somebody get me that soda!" He pointed at the other side of the room where now another Irken has picked it up and was about to drink it. Before the Irken had placed his lips on it, it was took from their hands and rushed over to Red. The dejected Irken held his head in shame.
"Mm good" he took a sip and leaned back in to his seat. "Well kinda, but it's been so long ago. She could've been killed in the war on Titania, y'know the one she was assigned too after we graduated"
Purple stared at him in awe. "Red, that was the longest sentence you ever said, well ever since the academy!" He dropped his doughnut and picked it up quickly, blowing it off then taking a bite.
Red shrugged, "Hey. When you're the tallest, you don't need to think. You have people to do that for you" he said.
Purple laughed and Red joined it. "Yeah, so true"

It has been a number of days or hours, I couldn't tell since I was taking my slumber hours. I wished that my parents as I claim them to be were here to see me now. I wish that was here with me, kissing me and holding me. I wish that I was back on Earth running in the fields of flowers on some island in the Caribbean's that he took me too on one of our dates. Surprisingly he actually took time off to spend with me, we were like a little family all gathered around the table talking and eating and spending actual quality time together. I missed those times.
I sat up from my bed and my hand ran against the dark blue satin sheets, it was room temperature. It was beautiful as I imagine it to be. It was pretty big then any other rooms, perhaps Red and Purple has their room large as this? The floor was soft and it was like a carpet in a way. It had a balcony that looked out at the stars. A library like I wanted with a plenty of books, my favorite Shakespeare plays were in a shelf that was dedicated to him, Poetry, classical reads that are like mythology and the sorts; A mini-bar with drinks, treats, etc. And also a living space to relax with a large couch and computer screen with tons of game consoles in the far corner.
There was a knock at the door, I went over to answer it and found my friends behind it. "Hello" I greeted them with a big smile and spread arms. There were guards before my door and they happened to be staring at them like they're daring them to do something. "Come on in; check out my nice piece of heaven?" I was unsure if I said that right.
"Yeah, you said it right" Dib told me, noticing that uncertainly in my voice. I grinned and stepped aside, they entered and their jaws dropped. It was quite a comical sight. Gaz went right away to my game corner. Dib went to check out my computers. Zim was fiddling away with something in the corner. Tak and Tenn were searching through my wardrobe that I have acquired.
"Well, thanks for asking how I was" I mumbled and left over to my couch and plopped down on it. The door to my room closed. I know I was feeling pretty pitiful but I didn't want to show how I was feeling. I was always the one to bottle my emotions until they burst out and I explode into a fit of tears.
I did like that light up floor in the corner where it's like tiles and you step on it and they light up. I even liked the new Game slave 4 and also the dancing game system near it. Everything was set to how I wanted it and I surely need to thank the workers who designed it. Maybe boost their salary by a percent or two. Maybe that will make them like me more other then my height and that I was a female. I want to live up to and more then my mother's name. I didn't know if the mass populace knew that I was the child of the two former Tallests? Even if I wasn't birthed from the womb, like our ancestors had been, I certainly claim my parents in complete pride. Without them, I wouldn't be anything, not even a smeet or a thought in existence.
"Gameslave 4!" Gaz dashed over there faster than I could see and begun to play the game with much determination and her skills were pretty good. Thanks to one of the Irken science and technology department, they had imported the game to a larger console like a computer and placed it on the big screen and all that uniqueness. I loved it how Earth releases the game on one side of the world before America at times. It's quite hilarious in many levels and ways.
"Nice" I heard a whistle behind me. I turned to see that Red and Purple had made their way here and I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't notice them enter this premises. "Umm...hi. Thanks…Can I help you somehow?" I said, twiddling my fingers nervously. Did I tell you I have a nervous tick, yeah its twiddling my thumbs, it's not bad as biting nails or plucking my hair.
"Oh, we just came here to see if you're enjoying your room" Purple said.
'He's in a pleasant mood' I thought shocked. They didn't really go and bug me unless they actually are up to something. "I am. The workers did a fantastic job" I said, a smirk on my face. I kind of felt better, due to their prescience. I don't like being alone if you understand that, I use to before a decade on a dying planet and I had to use and find scraps before the planet imploded and all those years alone had put a fear of loneliness in me.
"They did an okay job" Red looked around. He didn't like it really. Perhaps it was because it's not his room. Well obviously that got to be a reason why.
'Red you dork' I thought. He was using sarcasm on the okay part. I knew he uses sarcasm most of the time.
"So is there any logical reason to bother me other than to check this room and to see if I like it?" I said it, I actually asked them that. It was beginning to irritate me again.
"Actually, yes there is a logical reason, Kira," Red said. "We want to know if you're OUR Kira."
That question stole the breath out of my chest; my squeedlie spooch did a few jumps. When he said OUR, he actually made me surprised, I didn't know why he said that but it made me feel kind of happy. I didn't know what to say, I was speechless. "..I…umm…why….you…" I shut my mouth, I couldn't form my words correctly, and they came out all gibberish.
"I see, come on Pur. That's not our Kira" Red said, grabbing his arm and pulling him out the door. Purple sent me a sad look and they disappeared behind the doors.
I noticed it went silent in my room and I looked around noticed that everybody had turned their attention on to me; Gaz paused her game and watched me silently. Zim noticed my despair and ran to me and hopped into my arms and gave me a big comforting hug. I'm actually beginning to think him more of a son than anything else. The others gathered around the couch and tried comforting me as I backed up against the couch and fell against it numb with Zim still clinging to me like a monkey.
"Don't cry, Kir Kir. Don't cry" He rubbed his head in my neck and it was like taking care of a child. I didn't even know what it was like but it felt natural…instinctual actually. I leaned my head back against the couch and closed my eyes, the tears escaped again.
The mood detector in my room, which I forgot to mention, had played an earth song, that I always will love to listen to and that is: Away From Sun by 3 Doors Down.
"Please, everybody leave me" I choked out. "No, I will never!" Gaz growled. She was like a daughter to me. Even in her darkest and lightest days she was the one that always came to me and talked about everything.
I popped open an eye and my tears blurred my vision. "Please. I beg of you. I need to be alone, NOW!" I screamed out. The guards rushed in alarmed, "GET THEM OUT OF MY ROOM NOW!"
