I Can't Stop Thinking About You

Disclaimer: I have no ownership over this song or invader Zim. *sniff* so sad.

Zims POV

It had been a pretty normal day. The mighty ZZIIIIMMM! had covered the Dib-stink in that filthy earth meat after ZIM refused to eat the slop. Then ZIM tripped him on the way home but somehow he snuck up on my amazingness, possibly in a blind spot, and splashed me with that horrible...EARTH...WATER! then when I came home, I got the biggest shock. Ever.

"TAK?" I exclaimed.

"Oh ZIM, did you really think-" she started

"TAK?" I exclaimed.

"did...you really thin-"she re-started

"TAK?"

"SAY IT AGAIN ZIM! SAY IT AGAIN!"

"what!" I exclaimed.

"Are you DONE?" she yelled.

"hm...no...TAK?...ok. Done"

"Did you really think I wouldn't come back?" she said, obviously exasperated

"well...honestly...yes. I thought you would either get over it and move on or you would die." I explained.

Now that I thought about it, I realized how beat up she looked. She was skinnier than I remembered, and her beauty mark below her left eye stuck out against her pale skin. Her eyes seemed sunken into her head and her uniform was tattered, and seemed a couple sizes too big. She looked half starved and had many wounds. But the fire remained in her eyes.

"Besides, you look pretty beat up to me." I said, feeling smug

"But I'm still ready to kill you zim" she said. 3rd person (unlimited)

Tak then lunged at Zim. She was remarkably fast considering she hadn't eaten in 8 months, was badly wounded, and a little sick with irken fever. She tackled him and had a purple doom cannon to the side of his head.

"Any last words zim?" she asked menacingly.

"Ummm...please don't kill me?" he said, for the first time, using a small voice.

Tak was confused, so Zim used her stupor to his advantage. He worked his legs free and kicked her off of him. She was momentarily winded but quickly got back up. But not before Zim pulled out a fully loaded sandwich launcher. (its pink XD) He launched a tuna-mayo sammie at Tak, which she dodged with agility only an irken or vortian might have. Then Zim launched a turkey sandwich at her, which skimmed her arm, and she started sizzling. She screamed in pain and rage. She tackled him, yet again, and ripped the sandwich launcher out of his hands. But he had more tricks up his sleeves.

"GIR!"

"Yes, my master?"

"Get TAK!"

He spit her name out as if he were spitting out some horrible earth slop and said it with contempt as if it were an insult rather than a name. Immediately Gir flew (and I mean literally, flew) into the room and tackled Tak. (weird...)

"HI PURPLE LADY! WHERES MIMI?"

"Gir...GET OFF ME!" she yelled, yet again. He obeyed instantly, and backed off the immensely mad irken. She the. Got up and started to shoot at Zim again. He got his spider legs out and started to climb the wall.

"what's the matter Zim? Afraid you'll be beaten by a janitorial drone?"

"you ARE a janitorial drone and the great ZZZIIIIMMMM will NEVER be beaten!"

They both yelled a battle cry then charged each other, for the 3rd time. They then proceeded to hit each other, fly back into opposite side of the room, and flop down trying to breathe after the breath had been knocked out of them. Breathing hard and wounded, they struggled to their feet, then collapsed next to each other. They then started insulting each other, for they were too wounded and just plain messed up to fight with lasers, sandwich launchers, or doom cannons anymore.

"DEFECT!"

"STUPID!"

"UGLY!"

"FAT!"

"SICK AND TWISTED!"

5.4 hours later

"monies...*wheeze wheeze*" he wheezed.

"*cough* toaster *cough*" she coughed out.

"*panting* euphonium!" he said

"French-*cough*-horn!" she said.

They then collapsed (AGAIN) and the only sounds where the wheezes, panting, and coughs of the two, half dead irkens. Eventually they managed to drag themselves to their feet and hobble over to the couch. After assessing their wounds and making sure none of them were fatal, they relaxed. Suddenly with a start, they realized they were holding onto each other. They embarrassedly untangled themselves, then hobbled to the medical bay.

"You know...Tak...you could stay at my base." he said sounding evasive. "Just until you're able to build you own of course" he finished rapidly.

"Only until I finish mine." she said, the venom in her voice obvious.

"Tak. Before you were here...I have to be honest. I...I..."

"You what Zim?" she asked, her voice and features softening instantly.

Seeing her soften up gave him the courage to continue on.

"I never stopped thinking about you. I need you here." he said, loud and clear.

Then she said, a smile forming on her lips "Oh Zim. I can't believe I'm...that I'm not alone"
