Chapter 4

Sickeningly Adorable With a Hint of Annoying

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Purple screamed in pure terror.

"Calm down, My Tallest, it's just a-"

"WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT?"

"Its just a-"

"ZO EM GEE! DOUBLE-YEW TEE EFF!"

"ITS JUST A BAG OF EXPIRED CHIPS."

Purple calmed down a little. But only so. "Is it... Is it... Is it ROTTEN?"

Renym frowned. "Yes, My Tallest, it is rotten. Hence the word EXPIRED."

"Oh. Okay." He blinked and sipped his soda.

"Why did Red leave me with you again? Did Rarl Kove have to 'babysit' too?"

Purple gasped. "Dont. Say. That. Name."

"Which one?" Renym looked puzzled. "Red or-"

"BOTH."

Renym's antenna twitched in annoyance. "Okaay... Why can't I call Red by his name?"

"I dunno. You just can't, okay?"

"THEN WHY IN THE NAME OF IRK DO I HAVE TO WATCH YOU?" Purple was really starting to get on Renym's nerves, which was very surprising since she had gotten pretty used to Purple. Not so much with the Navigators, though. Sometimes, Renym thought she would never get used to some of those Irkens.

"I dunno. Red thinks I'm dumb," Purple said, with a tear slowly forming in the pit of his eye.

Renym's expression softened. "He doesn't think you're dumb."

"How do you know?"

"Because you're NOT dumb."

Purple blinked. "Oh, um... Okay... Am I smart?"

"Okay, now I wouldn't go THAT far," Renym chuckled.

"I want some more- HOLY SHIT!"

Renym looked up at her leader in confusement. "Excuse me?"

Purple pointed behind her in horror. His finger shook and his eyes were wide. "Its... It's... It's..."

Renym whipped herself around, then jumped back in surprise at what she saw. "What the HELL?"

Standing at the entrance of the room was a small, sickeningly adorable Irken smeet. Her fist was in her mouth, causing drool to form at the surface. Her big, bubbly, bright red eyes stared foward at Purple and Renym. She had antennae that went straight down in three curly spirals, kind of like a spring from a mattress or a stretched out Slinky.

Purple's finger still shook. Renym was pretty shocked herself. "ITS A SMEET!" Purple shouted as if he were being raped.

The smeet walked over to the two Irkens, her little curls bouncing along the way. She looked up and Renym, then even more up at Purple. Her head tilted back so much that Renym was afraid she'd fall backwards.

Renym was insanely confused. She didn't know what the hell a SMEET was doing here, how it GOT here, or who had SENT it here. Or maybe NOBODY sent it. Maybe it escaped from wherever it came from. She wanted ask the smeet so many questions, but she was afraid she might overwhelm the poor thing. She decided to start with something simple.

"Hello, there. What your name?"

The little female looked back to Renym, staring at her with big eyes. She slowly pulled her fist out of her mouth, making a disgusting "POP!". The smeet was silent for a while.

Renym eagerly waited for an answer, but none came. The smeet just stuck the fist back into her mouth and sucked on it some more.

Purple blinked once, slowly. "I don't think she can-"

"MAHNAMEISFEECH!"

The two taller Irkens jumped back in surprise. "F-F-F-Feech?" Renym stuttered.

Feech put her hands on her hips. "I didn't stutter," she said all salty and adorable.

Purple and Renym exchanged a glance while Feech shoved her fist back into her mouth and drooled some more. "What do we do with it?" Purple whispered.

"Get it OUT before Red comes back!" Renym hissed.

Purple nodded vigorously and started to herd the smeet toward the door.

Pop! "HEY! STOP! STOOOP!" Feech screamed.

"Come on, sweetie, you have to- OWCH!" Renym jumped backwards. "She just BIT me!"

And to make it worse, the little smeet started to sing the Nyan Cat song. "WAHHH! THE PAIN! THE PAIIIN!"

"Oh, shut up Purple. YOU didn't get BITTEN by that... That... BEAST!"

"Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya!"

"MY EARS!"

"MY HEAD!"

"NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA!"

"WAHHHH!" Purple and Renym screeched.

Feech ran around them in circles, singing the arguably most godly yet annoying song ever.

Purple stopped dead in his tracks for a second. "Wait. She bit your HEAD?"

Renym frowned. "Yeah, she just wrapped her little jaw around my forehead..."

"Oh. WAAHHHHHH!"

"Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya..."

"GETHEROUTOFHERE!"

The two Irkens shoved the singing monstrosity out the door, into the hallway. It fought, but not hard enough. Purple and Renym quickly ran back inside and slammed the door shut locking it immediatly.

"Hey. It wasn't locked!" Purple shouted accusingly to the Navigators. They all shrugged. Except for one, who was shaking as she worked. Purple saw the outsider. "Throw HER out the airlock!"

"NOO!" The blue-eyed Navigator shook her hands as two Irkens dragged her away. "NOOO! I HAVE... I HAVE A..." Her body suddenly went limp and she let the Irkens drag her to her doom. "Never mind... I have nothing..."

Renym and Purple felt a sudden pounding on the door. "EEK! It's the little devil!" Renym shouted a little loudly.

"KEEP THE DOOR SHUT!" Purple screamed with a hint of horror in his voice.

"Purple, it's locked," Renym said.

"DONTCALLMETHAT!"

"What the hell is going on in there?"

Renym and Purple exchanged a relieved look and unlocked the door. Red burst in with a weirded-out look on his face. "Jeez," he said. "I'm not a little devil. A big one, maybe. But not LITTLE."

"Sorry. We thought you were some one else," Purple replied with a sigh.

Right when Purple said that, an image of Feech flashed in Renym's head. Feech was somewhere else though... Somewhere that look very familiar to Renym... But right when Renym was about to put her claw on it, the picture faded away. "Dang it," she muttered and walked back to her corner, picking up a straw on the way.

AUTHORS NOTE: There is NO romance between Purple and Renym in this chapter. So don't go all pissy on me and get your underwear tied in a knot saying I'm a Mary Sue or whatever. Two Irkens of the opposite gender can have a nice day together and still be friends. That sounded like a lie, but it wasn't. I'm sure all you girls out there have "guy friends" and all you guys have "friends that are girls." I do (the former). So DEAL WITH IT.

But if your imagination allows it, go ahead and make a RaPR(Renym and Purple Romance). Romance cravers can go ahead and make all the pairings they would like.

Take your time reading this story. Read it over time like any other book. This story might be going on for a while, due to my love of writing. XD
