NO I DREAM OF FREEDOM PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.
Yes the Narrator talks like Juno in the beginning.
I can't write one because Lon is born the week after Christmas. Which means the first time lapse is
......Now.
One Month Later, Tak's little 'Problem'
Narrator
So a Month had passed. Thanksgiving had come and go, Christmas was coming up. Tak was going
to get one Hell of a Christmas present. That started with ignorance. Or in Tak's eyes it started with an
illness. Nothing more. But Lea, was the true victim here. Unfortunately she had walked in on the event
and was now scarred for life. So when she walked in on Tak the next few days (after getting over the
shock) She only had one thing to say.
Lea
"YOU'RE AN ASS!" I yelled. I shuttered for maybe the 90th time this day, and the 180th time this
week. I glared. "You know, that you can't stay in that bathroom forever!" I hissed. It was a bathroom
that was in the lower sections of the base, for normal appearances apparently if anyone walked in and
magically didn't notice the machinery it gave some normality to the base. Plus if I'm bored I just flush
the toilet for fun. It's an Irken toy now. It eats everything and no one knows where it goes. I glared.
"I trusted you not to do anything with Master Zim!" I hissed. I put my antennae to the door. My blue
eyes gleamed as I heard vomiting. I kicked down the door, hands splintering. "Tak?" I asked. She stood
up from the toilet. "Are you okay? You fly." I asked. She glared. "I'm perfectly fine." She lied. She
looked like a deer in headlights. Mimi had taken to following me around so she was concerned. "I
thought you and Zim agreed that you'd tell him when you're sick." Mimi asked. "Busted." I muttered.
"I'm not sick. Probably some of my snacks touched human food or something." She muttered. "Like
you would know." I said rolling my eyes. "You look like someone threw flour on you!" Mimi argued.
I nodded. "Get computer to scan you." I said. "Who are you Zim?" Tak muttered. "No. Because He
would be like...Hold on" I said coughing. "COMPUTER! Scan Tak this instant! I am your Master!
Obey me!" I said mocking him. "That's pretty good" Mimi and Tak said. "I know, but still get
computer to scan you." I hissed rolling my eyes. "Computer!" Tak shouted. It was more of a plead, but
she shouted. "What?" Computer asked irritated. "Scan me." Tak muttered sickly. "...I detect another
Pak signal....Lea." Computer muttered. "Hi Computer...Remember me?" I said smiling such a fake
smile it rivaled that of a child star's. "Unfortunately. Okay Tak. I've got good news. Or it depends on
how you look at it." Computer said confused. GIR jumped in. "Mastah's Girlfriend is Havin' a baby!"
He said hugging Tak's leg. "That's not even possible GIR, Irkens don't have eggs." Tak muttered, I
nodded. We have the equipment to have smeets, but not the ingredient. "But it makes sense, vomiting
is humans symptom's. After....What you did. Did I tell you you're an ass?" I said shrugging. "Not
possible. Computer you were saying?" Tak shrugged off.
"Well for once GIR is right. Tak you're pregnant"
Narrator
Tak's face twitched and everyone stared. It wasn't the fact that they were astonished that someone like
Tak was irresponsible like that, but the one cold hard fact. She was Irken. She'd never had a period.
Which meant she had one single egg. One single very long living egg. If you asked her what she was
thinking, doing that with Zim She could answer it was too tempting, but she would stick to the fact she
was Irken. Of course because of this there was only one explanation. Maybe two, but they were too
dense to think of either until it was put in her face later. It wasn't even her child, or she's a Virken.
But as I recall one instant that happened much farther back in time. 2 years to be exact.
I glared into the Blackness, my Scarlet eyes illuminating the darkness. "So I can't rule Irk, fine by me
I'll find a better way." I hissed. I conjured up a small viewing screen. "And I know who can help me."
I said laughing at the girl in the picture. Another Female walked by. "Of course, this human can do just
as well" I said. "But Irkens are more susceptible to my power." I said laughing. I conjured up a needle.
"Now when the time is right, I will have my apprentice, and my revenge." I said laughing. Injecting it
into the Irken she turned around confused. "Of course my Little Irken, you know not of what's going to
happen." I said laughing. "But I do, and now I control your fate" I said laughing. I turned my
attention to Zim. "And no matter how much you try, you are still my key."
That was the true explanation, but her plan was long forgotten since the end of last month.
Quinn
I stared at the smeet. Simple to steal from the smeeteries. Hally was looking over her. Sumera. "Hello
Sumera. I am your....Caretaker. Quinn." I introduced. "Hi Quinn!" She replied cheerfully. I glared
Hallywas staring at the Portal with seeming longing. If she fell for that....Pawn's Robot again I don't
know what I'd do. "Mistress, why did you give up on your plan?" She asked confused. "Because It
was a waste of life and time. Do you know how they measure a Virken's lifespan?" I hissed. "By their
eggs. They say for every one they lose, they lose a year to live. That's why they only live for 5 years
on their own." Hally responded. I nodded. "I gave that female one of my eggs to make me an heir. She
is too well bred to soil her virginity though, so I gave up on her." I hissed. Hally stared at me. "You
give up at the wrong times." Hally muttered. I raised an eye and moved my horns and antennae in an
accusative position. "How?" I demanded. "She's pregnant." Hally told me. I laughed. "Oh that's just
perfect! Now I don't have to think out the next part of my plan!" I laughed. Hally stared confused her
normal red armor gleaming. "Tisvana would notice I'm missing and two soldiers dead! So with a smeet
do you think Zim and Tak will ever agree to come search for me and put their smeet at risk?" I laughed.
Hally shook her head. "What if they....You know...Kill it?" Hally asked. I paused. "It's against Irken
Code. It's against Virken code. Vortians approve it, but Irkens wouldn't sink to the Vortians. Not even
Vortians like their society." I muttered. "And besides, Zim created it. Whether he wants it or not, he's
too 'Self Righteous' to kill anything he made. Except for the giant Hamster." I said laughing. Hally
nodded. "So the Irken Empire?" Hally asked. "In our hands." I laughed. She joined me and Sumera did
too. I blinked noticing an edge in her voice, and glided over to her. "Unexpected. This also gets rid of
a little problem." I muttered testing her blood.
She was also evidentially Zim and Tak's. Smeeteries sure are helpful aren't they?
Tak
I was mortified. Lea was trying to get me to blink. How did I, everything that Irken's stood for, Get
pregnant? It isn't even possible! And Zim! He might make me kill it! I'm actually okay with that, but
still....It isn't right, it isn't Irken and.....I wouldn't let him. He might kick me out, but then everyone
would go. Maybe he wouldn't kick me out, but I'd still be different in his eyes. Like I'm not myself.
I exhaled and blinked. "Tak? You alive? I was about to go and buy a body bag." Lea joked. "How
can you joke at a time like this? Zim'll kick me out!" I hissed. Lea stopped and stared. "Or maybe he'll
decide that you'll kick his ass and decide it better not to piss you off!" She laughed. I nodded. "So how
should I tell him?" I asked. "I don't know! You're his Girlfriend! You know him better." She paused and
I saw a very clear shiver. "You okay?" I asked. "I walked in on you two." I gasped and nearly lunged.
"In your condition you don't go lunging at Irkens who have told off Control Brains and lived." She
said with a straight face. "Oh now it's a disease?" I hissed. "No, I just think you're being unreasonable"
She hissed. " I thought we told you not to go to the recharging cells!" I hissed. She shuddered. "He
rebuilt the base, that used to be the storage room. I went in for a snack. It had the same effect, I lost
my appetite." She muttered. "That's why I called you an ass." She explained. "Oh I thought that was
because you wanted a quick way to die." I joked. "You're stealing my lines" She warned. I raised an
eye. "Here I'll help you face master Zim. If he even considers kicking you out, we both walk out hang
outside the base, and watch the place fill out." She told me. I nodded. "So how do you feel?" She asked
I stared. "You seem, really nice to me." I said astonished. "Tak, I may be evil, but You'll learn I'm
the equivalent of a child star. Friendly to her friends. But cross me and you're Minnie's new playmate"
She hissed. I nodded. "I feel like I'm going to throw up." I muttered at my wave of nausea. "Don't be
worry Tak. Besides I think this'll be fun" She laughed. "No really." I told her. She pushed me off.
"Right.... Yeah, vomiting on me is one way to cross me." She muttered and walked off.
Zim.
I stared at my Pak fiddling with my vials in it. "Meow?" The cat asked startling me, and nearly
causing me to drop my vial. "Um....Nothing you need be concerned with cat." I told it. Her. The cat
seemed to look at me like it's master. Tak and Lea walked into the lab. "Hi Tak." I greeted. "Great! I'm
invisible!" Lea complained. "Lea, you do realize that neither me or the cat really like you right?" I
hissed. "Well, You! Ugh! If I didn't need this training I'd sell you to Dib again!" She hissed. "Too bad
He's with Helena, and she really likes me. So that wouldn't work anymore." I hissed. She rolled her
eyes. "Yes. That's true, hey Zim? I have to tell you something." Tak said. "Okay so, I haven't seen you
all day. How are you?" I asked. "Oh I'm fine and....GIR broke the robomom, Mimi got in a fight, I'm
pregnant, and Lea here is a homicidal maniac." She listed me. Well none of that is-Wait.... "What was
that?" I asked. "Lea's homicidal?" She asked. "Before that." I hissed. "GIR broke the robomom?" She
asked. "After that." I hissed getting irritated. "Mimi got in a fight?" She asked. Lea glanced my way.
"In the middle." I hissed. "Oh yeah, I'm pregnant. Weird huh?" She stuttered. I dropped my vial. They
stared. I sighed and opened the emergency vial thing that I had in case GIR broke my vials. I coughed.
"So how is that possible? I mean we're Irken." I said gritting my teeth. "I don't know!" She said
throwing her arms in the air. I opened my mouth to suggest something, but it didn't feel right to say.
"Well....O-Okay." I stuttered. Lea glared at me. "I guess we'll have to live with a new little smeet in
the house." I said slowly giving a fake grin. "Yes." Tak said smiling. They walked out, Lea having a
more depressed walk. "You took that a whole lot better than any of us expected you to." Computer said.
I heard Mimi shout pay up. "Believe me Computer I'm much more strong on the outside. Because I am
asking what the Hell I've gotten into on the inside." I told Computer with a straight face. "It won't be
too bad. Besides there's nothing that could be done anyway." Computer informed me. I nodded slowly.
But these three words couldn't help from spin around my thoughts like a top. What. The. Hell.
Tak
"Well he took that well." I told Lea. "It wasn't much fun though." She muttered. "Now I have my next
problem. Helena." I said stopping. "Oh come on Tak! Helena, whoever she may be, Isn't going to come
here!" Lea hissed. I rolled my eyes. "You'd be surprised about how stalkative she is" I muttered. Lea
rolled her eyes arrogantly. I shrugged. "Heh, did Mimi try getting your attention yesterday?" Lea asked
observing. "Yes, but why?" I asked. "Did she happen to mention weight to you in any context?" Lea
said trying not to laugh. "Maybe, why?" I asked irritated. "You could have found out yesterday. I'm
probably at fault to assume this for knowing you a month, but Mimi's known you for...." She paused.
"52 years." I hissed. "You're gaining weight," Lea laughed. I glared. "Uh, yeah so how bout them
Yankees?" She stopped and ran off. "Lucky she ran off." I hissed.
Narrator
Tak paused and looked down at her stomach. Er....Center squeedily spooch. Whatever that is. Her
torso. She shuddered for a little and ran off because she decided that she was going to establish her
dominance. And perhaps study Irken history around the time before Paks were invented.
Zim was studying the exact same thing, except he shuddered every 5 seconds. Mini M assumed he
was cold, being a kitten and all and got him a coat. They both worried about how different their lives
would be. Zim was more concerned on how to raise the smeet though.
Even though he'd never admit it. Not in Tak's life, or the smeet's, he was actually looking slightly
forward to it. But it would be a while before he even admitted that to himself. As for Tak though
For the only time, her and Zim's personalities had actually switched. She was only concerned for
herself
Yesh. No Christmas special. :-( but hey, this is a good chapter! Better than the first two chapters of
Daughter of the Summer! More realistic. And less "Okay well I hate you now, Adios, see you at the
birth of our next child and watch them fight it to the death!"
This is actually pretty good
