One Step Closer/ Caught in the Rain

Disclaimer: I have no ownership over these songs or invader Zim. *sniff* so sad.

One step closer, Linkin park.

Tak's POV

I can't take this anymore. Saying everything at least 3 times. I find the answers aren't so clear. Wish I could find a way to just disappear! Leave this stinky rock and find a new planet to just, start over! I need a little room to breathe! Everything you say to me sends me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break! I'm sick of this!

Why am I even still here? Oh yea...my ship...ugh! He has nothing to fix it with or any other ships so I can leave. I need to get out soon or I'll go insane and probably kill myself. Brake my PAK or anything, just to get away!

Zims POV

I knew something was up. She tried to hide it but I could tell. Beneath her normal stony expression see was outraged. I wasn't sure why though. I couldn't figure out a way o ask her though. it seemed pointless to me. her rages. sometimes I could hear here, late in the night. I couldn't make out the individual words but she was loud enough. I was trying to figure out what it was.

'what is it? what's making her so angry and restless all the time? ARRRGGG? WHAT IS IT?' I thought angrily to myself. I soon became moody as well. I was reckless and stupid, and my projects blew up more often that not. there was little or no improvement as for Tak. I doubt my mood was helping that in any way but I was too moody to care at the moment. UGGGGHHH! Why did females have to so difficult! Then suddenly, it hit me like a pile of bricks...It was my fault.

Caught it the rain. Pt.2 of the One step closer/ Caught in the rain songfic.

Zims POV

I realized I was pushing her away...arg I'm so STUPID sometimes! I need to do something to get her back. Anything. Whatever it takes for her to stay with me. I took a walk to clear my head and come up with ideas. But then I noticed a storm was rolling in.

"Arg! I really am an idiot! She has a right to hate me...I'm not worth any of the troubles she has had to face!" I muttered to myself. As the rain started falling I realized was still to far to go with out large, very painful burns. I ran for my house hoping to make it. Boy was I wrong.

Tak's POV

I found him, two blocks from his base, a mere 7 feet from mine. he was unconscious, probably from over exposure to the rain.

"idiot.." I muttered to myself.

I had no feelings left for this moron. he had shoved me away and hadn't even realized until I was utterly sick of him. but I couldn't let a fellow irken die, especially on a miserable piece of rock like this. Before, well all that happened, I was happy to be with him. But then I realized what he was doing to me. I started to got angry and reckless. I tried to hide it from him but I knew it wasn't working. there wasn't any point in hiding it any more. I got so sick of it I ended up ranting in my room every night. I was sick of it. sick of it. period. that's why I left and am now happily installed in my new base. well I wouldn't say happily. its definitely better than living with him. that's for sure. but I still missed some of the little things. like the adorable way he slept. he inhaled through his nose then out with a little puff through his mouth. and if I ever had night mares, well, he always awoke to some of the noise I made. I always thrashed around, or cried out. very rarely , if I was lucky, I would just come to, paralyzed with terror. I'm still plagued by nightmares, but they are less frequent, and have changed their manor. its more of that horrible day on devastis, or something like that. less bloody, gory, death-y type stuff. And I'll be honest. I miss him. But not nearly like before. As my mind slowly cleared of all these thoughts I realized I was about to smash into my front door.

*BANG!*

I was, sadly, too late to stop. I, along with a very severely burned Zim, went smashing into my door. I shook my head to clear my mind and went inside. I took Zim down to the medical bay.

"Computer. Do a full medical exam on Zim"

"Yes mistress" an oddly mechanical... yet female voice replied.

"MIMI!"

A little robot with an oddly large arm that ended in a claw ran into the room. it had bright red eyes and its shoulders and a patch on its stomach as well were red.

"Mimi, go to Zim's base and get him a fresh uniform. and bring that pesky little robot of his with you as well please. just deactivate it first." I instructed.

she immediately saluted, then flew out. I couldn't help but smile a little. for being built out of scraps, she turned out pretty darn well.
