called out "Daughter are you here I finally have time to spend with my kids, but I only have 10 minutes so hurry up!"

Gaz quickly panicked at the thought of her father discovering the alien and dissecting it. She began to run towards the house as she slipped and fell on something. She had a face plant straight to the ground as she began to get up. She rubbed her nose as she got up and to see what had tripped her. It was an odd looking device. It was as flat and wide as her game system was for killing evil pigs. Except it was pink and looked slightly burnt with a lot of scratches on it and covered with dust and ash. She put it in her pocket next to the other stuff she found. The she continued to run back inside, her worried face returning.

Zim heard the other human and quickly looked back out the window to see Gaz getting more and more worried . Zim then thought ' This is Gaz's house unit and she is getting worried of the other human and if Gaz is worried then Zim should be worried as well.' He quickly grab Gir and jumped in the closet but when he was inside he accidentally knock down some stuff in Gaz's closet that made a loud crashing noise.

Gaz was running inside the house but then heard a crashing sound, quickly thinking 'Oh Crap dad found Zim... I-I can't let him take him not yet.' She thought to herself. She rapidly ran towards her father who was already upstairs going in to her bedroom.

"Dad what are you doing here?" Gaz said uneasy franticly looking around her room. He replied " Oh I thought you were in your room I heard a crashing sound inside so I thought I'd-" he was cut off by Gaz as she countered her fathers thought "Oh..that's probably Dib you see we were playing...uh...hide n' seek and I was just-"

"But I thought your brother went to camp this summer?"

"Well you see...um...I"Gaz was cut off again by her father's cell phone.

*beep beeep beeeeeeep*

Her father turning to get his message leaving Gaz with their unfinished conversation. "What?oh ok, I'll be right over" Gaz's male parent said in to his device. "Sorry to leave on such short notice daughter but I have to continue my successful job in the wonderful world of 'Real Science'." said as he left out the front door waving bye as he rushed in to a helicopter waiting for him outside. Gaz just sighed and went in to her room laying down on her bed still tired from the night before. As she layed down she didn't see Zim anywere in sight and decided to get up and call for him" Zim where are you?" Right after she said this she heard movement in her closet, and turned to it opening it.

She found the little green Irken hiding inside the closet having one of Gaz's old raincoats cover one of his eyes, he was clenching tightly to his robot. Gaz put her hand slightly on his shoulder as he jumped startled at the sudden touch rapidly turned his head to look at her. He looked at her with big red eyes but one on them still covered by her old raincoat.

Gaz's POV

It was then I realized how this was for him a strange alien creature going to some odd alien world where everything he needed to stay alive was destroyed and he was totally dependent on me. Me I realized how that must be so hard for and him to put his trust in a stranger, to him everyone else was an alien. He continued looking at me his red-scarlet eyes staring at me completely innocent and dependent looking. 'I have to keep him here, I have to keep him safe.' I thought to myself.

Zim's POV

'What was she thinking?' I thought to myself as she just kept staring at me with her hazel eyes. 'Her eyes' I thought again 'They...they were shush a soft shade of hazel, I have never seen any other color of eyes beside purple, red, and pink.'I continued to think, 'This...This human had risked so much for me. Why? She had multiple chances to dissect me, put me on an autopsy table to use me as a trophy, to turn me to the law enforcement agency, but she didn't I was...i still am..an alien to her, she know nothing of me. Of why I'm here on what's my mission, MY MISSION! How could I forget my very special mission from the Tallest. About coming here, and Destroying all humans.' 'All humans.' A voice in the back of my head said.

'All humans must be a slave or destroyed, remember?' The voice continued to speak.

'Well maybe, maybe I can convince them out of it, you know maybe some humans can live peacefully. Right?' I told the voice.

''Right. I'm sure the Tallest wont have you killed for treturie.' It said sarcastically.

'Well I could...I could-'

'Could what she's a human remember that! Huh?' the voice said hostile as it continued to speak a little more friendly 'Well maybe if she never helped you, you would have no problem killing her or making her your slave. If only. if only. 'The voice sang sweetly as it faded out of his head 'Why, why did she have to help me? Why?' My mind mulling that over as She began to speak breaking the silence, " I...um.. Found these. "she said taking out a part if my human disguise, I believe humans call them contacts. I took them in to my hands and I promptly clean them, then putting them on. I looked around as my eyes had to get use to them because they were so uncomfortable and itchy. My eyes quickly adjust and I stare up at her still staring at me her hand still on my shoulder.

"Oh and I also found this." She said pulling out my hand held devices that I could use to call the Tallest. 'Wait contact the Tallest. And tell them what? That I cashed landed on the planet nearly I felt uneasy as I forgot to respond to her and I quickly said " I am grateful that you found my.. Er.. Contacts." She just did a simple smile and turned to clean what was a mess of her sleeping quarters. I felt extremely awkward as she picked up after the mess I made and I quickly stand up and assisted her. She noticed me and did another small smile, I don't know why but i found her smile extremely intoxicating.

Gaz's POV

I found him staring at me as I shoot him a small smile, I thought he seemed more cute without his disguised but I immediately scold myself for even thinking that in the first place. In no time we cleaned my room and I found myself extremely tired but refused to let myself sleep yet. I still needed to think what I was going to do with Zim I can't keep him in my house forever. At the most I could keep him here till the end of the summer but then what will I do? I wonder how long he would even consider staying here, I really didn't want to see him go, we'll I could- my thought were enterupted by the sounds of Zim's what I assumed his stomach growling and I had just realized he only ate waffles all day and I well haven't ate anything, and I was getting hungry now that I think about it. I made a small smile at hearing his stomach growling again, he turned to me and started to stare again I wonder why he always felt a need to look at me smile. But I just shook it off and said sarcastically " You hungry." He only replied " Only if you consume with me." I don't know why but I blushed when he said that and I turned my head away before he could see me.

Author's POV

Gaz walked Zim downstairs, while Gir just followed and said "wat's dat?" Every five seconds pointing at something. Gaz's measurement of withstanding his idiotic ways was high thanks to her brother, so she just told him to sit on the couch as she turned in the TV. Gir and zim seemed glued to the screen as I turned it on the 'Angry Monkey Show.' Although he had all ready eaten waffles Gaz wasn't sure on what else to feed him, so she began making waffles but before she could she found Zim staring at her again but this time she wasn't smiling. Zim just walked over other pulling himself away from the TV standing next to Gaz ready to help in anyway he can. Yet they both just continued to look at each other taking in each others movements until Gaz finally spoke up and said in hostile " What are you staring at!?" Zim nervously turned away and slightly blushed. Gaz noticed this and felt bad so she said " look Zim I'm sorry it's just that your making me nervous with your staring."

"Apologies Gaz-human, I was just wondering what you were doing." Zim said timidly not wanting to insult her again. There was a long awkward pause until it was broken when Zim's stomach growled again, Gaz had a small laughed at that and Zim turned to look at her while he smiled at her smile. Gaz just said " So..um... What else can you eat besides waffles?" "I...I don't know."

"Well then what do you usually eat then?"

"Well the Mighty Zim is Irken so our diet consists of carbohydrate saccharides."

"So basically 'irkens' like you, refer to themselves in third person, can heal themselves quickly, and eat sugary stuff all the time while you surround yourselves with robots like that one?" Gaz said pointing at the robot while he still sat and watched the Angry Monkey Show. The alien astonished at how quickly the human can understand him and his species, but then responded " Uh well yes when you put it like that." Gaz had another smile but this time it was a little cocky and to her knowledge she knew Zim was staring at her again but decide not to care. Gaz looked through the kitchen looking for something sugary and found some corn guessed Zim could probably drink it, so she gave it to Zim.

The Irken looked carefully at it not wanting this to be another water accident and carefully set a drop if it on his alien tongue. The alien was relieved that the strange, sticky, concoction wasn't burning him. He quickly chugged it down realizing how thirsty he was. Gaz finally relived knowing what the alien could eat she began to look for more sugary foods. When the TV Gir was watching gave a loud beeping sounds, it sounded of alarms. Gaz and Zim quickly turned to the TV when Gaz realized what was going on.

It was a surprised news bullet naked urgent to the highest extent. There was a helicopter over a house zooming in the backyard. The backyard looked familiar, Gaz was squinting to see some of the details on the house.

It was her house.

It was showing the remands of Zim's space ship in her back yard zooming in on the windows.
