Its up and ready. Please review if you think if there is any grammer or spelling issues. I thank xxxCARxCRASHxHEARTxxx for telling me how to spell Irken. Weird though, is that I spelt it normally in the rough draft (one written by hand :S) but I read something and it was actually spelt i-r-k-a-n. Oh well. Anyways, on with the story.

I do not own IZ.

We had only been working for an hour till Zim got the idea that Dib was doing all the work, why would he care, and he started getting frustrated. It started with a jab at Dib, then a jab back at Zim. It then led to both of them fighting and swearing. Dib jumped on Zim and knocked him off his seat and they started kicking and punching each other. I've only known them for a day, and I can see that they can't stand one another.

I stood up from my seat. "Holy crap, guys!" I shouted over the swearing and beating."Why don't we just finish this tomorrow?"

They stopped, glared at each other, and agreed. Both got up and fix themselves.

"We could come back here again around 3:30 and no sooner." I gave Zim a look. He gave an innocent smile.

Dib gathered his things. "Yea, and next time I'll bring chips so we don't have to eat waffles." Dib added.

I nodded. "Okay." I ushered them out the door and said goodbye.

Once they were gone, I locked the door, walked to my room and shut the door. There's not much in my room, just a double bed, vanity, closet and a little bed I made for Sali. A small watch like device popped out of my wrist. I turned a dial, forcing the arrow to point at the word off. I walked over to my vanity and stared in the mirror. My blonde hair was replaced with two lightning shaped antenna. Instead of the pretty pale blue eyes, in there place were big yellow orbs. I'm still dressed in the same clothes, purple sweater with the shoulders slightly falling over my arms with a green tube top underneath and black skinny jeans, but they don't look all that good on me when I was like this, when I was normal.

Normal is a word you don't know. A voice in my head said. I pushed that thought to the back of my head where it belongs.

I looked like Zim, and all the other Irkens that I have seen before. The only difference was the yellow orbs. The yellow eyed Irkens died when my father was killed. I was the last of their kind.

I was cloned by Tallest Yellow before Red and Purple became Tallests. For the longest time, Yellow eyed Irkens were always the Tallests. Some Irkens hated this idea, but it was just the way things were. Although, there were problems with some Tallests, like being power hungry and evil, Yellow was going to be the first to ever change that. He altered me as a smeet to be just like him, personality and all. He made me his daughter and named me Lei, which in Irken, means 'Leader of Nations'.

Red and Purple were one of the few who hated the idea of yellow eyed Irkens being the Tallests. They had formed a resistance against it, and began to plan. They planned they would wipe out the yellow eyed Irkens. The first thing to do was to get rid of me and my father.

My father had connections around Irk and someone had heard of their plan. My father feared for my life, and went to go find me. I was sitting eating snacks with two other smeets. When he had found me, he looked worried. He told me to come with him. I said goodbye to the smeets, and followed. He brought me to a voot hanger and picked me up and put me in one. He had explained what was happening while programming the coordinates. He built me a S.I.R to help me, but since it was made in a rush, it didn't work, how would I put it, up to my dad's standards. My father hugged me and the next moment, I was shot out into blackness.

Six months later, I landed on earth. I would have been about five years old in human years. My voot had landed in a large, forested area. I ordered Sali to help me find a place to stay.

We walked quite a bit that night. Sali looked in every window, seeing if there was a family that would be nice enough to take in a small alien. I doubted that anyone would even allow us to stand within fifty feet of their home without calling some scientists or police to come take and do tests on me.

The next day, we had come across a house with a little girl playing in the front yard. She had brown hair pulled into two little pigtails, brown eyes, and was wearing a yellow sundress. I watched her from behind a fence. She had seen me, and came over to where I was standing. She asked if I wanted to play with her and her dolly, they were having a tea party. Her mother came out and saw her over at the fence talking to me. She had long blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She asked who I was, she didn't seem to care that I was obviously an alien. I told her my name, and she asked me to come in the house. I had this weird feeling that I was going to be safe.

When we were in the house, she told me that I should put on a disguise so I wouldn`t get taken away by evil people. I didn`t know what to put my disguise as, so I just copied how she looked. In a blink of an eye, I was changed into a kid'ish looking version of the women standing in front of me. She smiled. She began telling me about herself and her family. Her name was Elaine and her husband was Brody and the little girl outside was their four year old daughter named Aun. She explained what would happen if other people found me, that if they found out what I was, they would do strange things to me.

That day, her family adopted me. They home schooled me for a bit so I would learn how to be human.

When my adoptive mom told her parents of her choice, her mother was furious. I don't remember why, only that I would cause problems and that I didn't belong in their family, that my mom should have left me to fend for myself. My adoptive dad yelled her every time she went off like.

Every time my adoptive grandparents came to the house, they would always play with Aun and let me do everything for myself. They would tell me that I am fully capable to do my own things. I didn't care when they did that, I knew that they didn't like me.

Aun was like a blood sister to me. We would always play together; she never cared what her grandparents said.

2 years later at Christmas, my parents decided to move to the other side of town to get away from my adoptive grandparents.

That was 9 years ago. It was a week ago that they died.

Sali, as I said before, wasn't all that normal to a typical S.I.R. She had a short attention span and would usually have outbursts of energy if not used properly. I was trying to fix these problems in my room. Not being in a real lab didn't help with the fact that I knew nothing about fixing a S.I.R. I decided that I could play with a few wires and knobs to see if that would do something. While I fiddled with a purple wire, my parents walked into my room. They had scarred me a bit and the purple wire got pulled from the piece it was hooked into. Sali went insane. Weapon after weapon flew from her head. My adoptive parents had moved me out of the room before a bomb flew out of Sali's and exploded in a split second.

I had been knocked from where I was standing. I grabbed Sali and ran to my grandparents house across town. I had told them what happened. Life would never be the same on earth. Aun was at her friend Gaz's house hanging out.

The funeral was a few days after. I fixed Sali and left and built my base. Since then, I have been trying to keep myself together, like my mother said.

When I fixed the purple wire, I found out that she blamed herself and now hates herself for it and hides away pretending she doesn't exist. This is why she is shy and doesn't leave much.

The sound of the front door unlocking and opening pulled me away from the mirror. I turned my disguise on and walked out to see Sali in a sombrero and holding a bag of tacos.

"Sali, were did you go?" I said to the tiny robot. Her eyes looked so happy and she was smiling, this was the first time she's been like this since the accident.

She finished eating the taco. "I went to the Crazy Taco with Gir."

"Did you have fun?"

She giggled. "Yeah."

I smirked at her. She was so cute. I stared at the Mexican hat on her head. "Where'd you get that?" I pointed to the hat.

"After tacos, he brought me to a hat store and bought me it." She started playing with the little balls hanging from the peculiar hat. She walked past me and went to the couch and started to watch T.V.

"I'm going for a walk." I said. She nodded and I walked out the door.

I looked around the cul de sac and began walking to a small park nearby. While I walked by Zim's house, I began to think if I should invite him along. Instead, he came running out of the house just as something explodes. He saw and walked up to me.

He gasped for air. "Hey Lei. Where are you going?"

I shrugged."Just for a walk."

"Can Zim join?" he asked cocking his head a bit.

"Sure."

He started walking along side of me. He would glance at me every few seconds. I wonder what he's thinking...

I bet you want to know what he's thinking. Well wait till next chapter!
