Yay another time lapse! A Much larger time lapse though, a 3 year time lapse, so this story moves
The action picks up more.
3 years After Lon's birth
Narrator
So 3 years passed, every year I watched the smeet grow and felt like it's godmother. Watching over
it without it knowing. Er...Lon grow that is. I recognized almost immediately after it spoke sentences
that, it knew who it's mother was. And that wasn't Tak. It hurt me to see the smeet grow and show
almost no connection to her 'mother' except that it loved her. She also seemed to be a mind reader, and
have SOMETHING that was of Virken origin. I can't talk while watching her, she hears me. She can
hear my thoughts. Lon though grew up like Tak said she would, like a human. Lon had no clue of her
Irken origin. She thought she was a ten year old Dirty Blonde human. But she couldn't work her
disguise. So no Skool. She existed, but also didn't. Her only friend besides Zim was Kiatu a CIV unit.
Lon
I watched Mom and Dad leave again, grinning at Lea my babysitter I ran to the kitchen and as she
read her cheap gay murder novel I got a bucket and poured water in it. She finds it annoying I play
with the stuff, but it's fun to me. Ever since she called me an annoying brat I've done that. Kiatu
followed me. "Lon!" Kiatu hissed. "Shush! Kiatu Lea can't know that Daddy made a talking gerbil!
They'll call him twisted!" I whispered. "Oh believe me no she won't" Kiatu said rolling his eyes. I
grabbed my bucket full of water and ran to Lea. And just to annoy her I threw some on her book and
on her hair. "Bitch" She said in her book. "You cussed! I'm telling Daddy!" I yelled. "What? I didn't-
wait you're doing your weird Mind reading thing" Lea said shaking it off. I stuck my tongue out.
"Where's The Dib-shoe? He's fun to mess with!" I laughed. "Cute little laugh for a midget." Lea
said rubbing my hair. "Hey stop!" I yelled. She rolled her eyes. "Midget" Lea said rubbing my hair
more. Angry I bit her. She took her hand back. "She bit me!"She yelled astonished. "Yeah and I scratch
too!" I yelled. " Maybe she really is Irken." Lea said with her mouth closed. "What's Irken?" I asked.
"Eh, nothing." Lea said. "Crap she can read minds." Lea thought. "I can read minds?" I asked. "Either
that or telepathy." Lea said. "Okay! Lea can Kiatu and I go see our new neighbors?" I asked. Lea
glared. "We have new neighbors?" She thought. "Yeah! They're Indians!" I said. "I'll believe that as
soon as I believe Dana didn't screw John." Lea thought. "Ack! I did NOT need to hear that!" I yelled
clamping my ears. "Oh I'm sorry did the midget not like my book? Well here you can read it." Lea
said handing it to me. "I don't want to read your FILTHY pages full of..." I started, I took the book from
her and looked a little. "PORNO!" I hissed. "There isn't any-" "LIES! I SAW IT!" I hissed. "You know
I'd be more afraid of you if you weren't a midget." Lea said. "Show me it." Lea said giving me the
book. "Right here! This...STD they speak of! That is Obviously Porno!" I yelled rejoiced. "You have
no clue what that is do you?" Lea asked. "Severed Time Destruction? I don't know! I'm 10!" I yelled.
"But It's obviously EVIL!" I yelled poking her. "Well you're right on that." Lea said shrugging. "I'm
going to see our neighbors with or without you! Come Kiatu!" I yelled. " Be back before 2 or it's both
our heads." Lea said, and I ran out. Kiatu followed. "Wait! Lon!" I heard Mimi call. I paused. "Oh
come on! Please!" I begged Mimi. "Your mother forbid you to go outside." Mimi explained. "And? I
don't get why Mom's so worried! She's never home." I glared away. "Which is why she doesn't want
you out." Mimi said. "I want to go to Skool like everyone else! Have friends! I mean I breathe air too!
I have Red blood, hair, and pupils! I'm human! So I'm going out!" I argued. "Fine, but don't leave this
neighborhood, if you do it'll be a race to see who gets you, the police, an evil guy, or your father. Only
the last one makes us all suffer to which you take after." Mimi said. "I promise Mimi" I lied. She glared
"Okay then, Kiatu, watch her and watch her well. Unfortunately half your parts are GIR's so I don't
want your dysfunctions getting us ALL killed" Mimi glared. "Okay 'mom'" Kiatu sarcastically replied.
"No. I just don't want to be killed if you're missing." Mimi replied blankly. We nodded and ran off.
Kiatu and I glanced at each other evilly. "Going to the bakery?" He asked. I nodded. "Mimi said
don't" Kiatu replied. "Don't is just do with an N and a T" I replied and we ran off.
"Wow look at that Pie." Kiatu and I said staring lovingly at the pie in the bakery. "Kiatu remember
how to get it?" I asked. Kiatu nodded and we walked in. "Hi can we have that pie in the window?" I
asked the lady. "It's Cherry, and it's expensive you have the money kid?" He asked. I nodded. "Marge
get this little Girl her pie!" The stores clerk gruffly yelled. Kiatu did as he was trained and hid in it.
"Here you go girl, now that's 32.00 dollars" The lady said. " Boy I would love this pie. Except there's
A GERBIL IN IT!" I yelled. They looked. "Oh shoot again? Well sweetie we can't-" Marge explained.
"Oh I'm sure the Health Inspector will love this story" I bluffed. "My Daddy's head inspector and he
can shut you down." I threatened. "Oh no Marge! We'll pay you! And every pie is free for you!" He
begged. I nodded took the pie, and the money and walked out. "Good job Kiatu." I whispered.
"Piece of cake! Actually pie." He laughed. I had exploited every bakery in this town. "And now
should we move on to clothes stores and then Jewelry! Then we will have taken over this town!" I
laughed. Kiatu joined me and then we ate the pie. "Wow a ten year old Moffia member." A voice
mumbled. "What? Who's there?" I asked. "The names not important." She growled. I shuddered.
"It's Me. Helena" She said coming out of the shadows. "Oh it's you. You live in the Bakery?" I asked.
"Ever since I ran away." Helena said. "Well that explains why you always smell good. Wait! You work
with Mom and Dad!" I yelled. "And you Exploit stores I can tell by the easy Five Benjamin's in your
hand and the pie in your left" I laughed nervously. "Yeah, and how much did you hear?" I asked. "Your
evil laugh. Although exploiting Jewelry stores, Lon that's a little evil." Helena said. "Hey! It's money!
You earn it your way and I'll earn it in mine!" I said. "Until the police send you to Juvie." Helena
laughed. "Hey! I don't go to Skool! Mom and Dad are always gone! And I have a porno reading
Babysitter!"I argued. "And guess what? I can read minds!" I yelled. "What am I thinking now?" She
thought. "You're thinking asking what you're thinking then." I said. "Creepy, but yes" Helena said.
"I don't even have any friends!" I cried. "So you stick to stealing food? Okay, I'd like to think food
is a substitute for anti-depressants, but that's a little....Weird." Helena said. "Find send me off! I have
failed as a daughter to Dad! Angst Angst, Emo Woe is me!" I said moving my hands out. "No! Lest I
have one chance to redeem myself! One Sammich on the Table of hope!" I said faking it. Helena
rolled her eyes. "Come on Lon, let's walk you home" Helena laughed. "No! I am not worthy of my
name! I am Midget!" I said dramatically. "Okay Midget let's get back before Zim and Tak have your
head on a silver platter." Helena said. I stopped. "Oh No I forgot about Them! I'm dead! Kiatu!" I
called. "Yes?" He asked. "Oh hi Helena! Don't be alarmed this is just a talking gerbil." I said slowly.
"I wasn't alarmed by your talking dog." Helena said shrugging. Kiatu stared. "Yes?" He asked. "Is
there any way to get home fast?" I asked. "One, but it might scare you to death." Kiatu mumbled.
"Anything!" I yelled. "Hold on to my ears and don't let go." Kiatu said. "Wait what?" I asked. Kiatu
ran behind me and turned into a jet. He pushed me on to him, and I held on to his ears for dear life.
"Wait Kiatu what are you doing? What the-" I started, but it turned into screams as Kiatu flew out
of control down the street. It was actually fun. "ACK!" I yelled as everything blurred up. It all stopped
when we hit the bases door. "Kiatu was that cracking the door or my spine?" I asked trying to get
together. "I think it was both." He said strained. "Sorry I got the flying jet from GIR. Who is a much
worse flier than me, because he makes you spin around." Kiatu apologized. "I'm afraid." I said. "Kiatu
I don't think the pie liked our flight." I said dizzily. Kiatu nodded. I opened the door still dazed from
the bloody flight. It was 2:30. I creeped inside hoping they got hit by a truck ANYTHING that made
the house empty. "Lon." I heard Mom say seriously. "Oh hi Mom! I got lost! Evil pixies! And....Pie!"
I stuttered. Okay so it wasn't ALL a lie. "Lon, I told Lea AND Mimi not to let you out. I also warned
you." Mom said deathly serious. " But Helena said it was okay! She took me there!" I lied. "Right, so
Helena got here before we did, and took you knowing we'd think GIR did something horrible?" She
asked. "Yeah! Exactly!" I lied. "And there was Lea Reading that thing filled with Porno!" I yelled
pointing. "It's a murder novel." She said not believing. "And why can't I go to Skool like Everyone
else? It'll keep me out of Juvie!" I said, and covered my mouth. "Juvie?" She asked. "Fine so I got
bored and exploited a store with Kiatu." I said crossing my arms and looking away. "Kiatu was
involved?" Mom asked. She glared at Kiatu. "Hey! Don't make me Angry! You won't like me when
I'm angry!" Kiatu yelled trying to struggle out of her hands. "Shut it stubs." Lea thought. "Mom! Lea
called Kiatu stubs!" I said. "No she didn't" Mom said confused. "I can read minds!" I yelled. "That's
funny Lon, then what is Zim thinking?" She asked. I looked at Dad who was off in another corner of
the room, waiting for Mom to stop chewing my ear off. "Eh..." I stared. Nothing. Not a sound. "I don't
not." I said shrugging. "Lon stay down in the labs and DON'T touch anything. And Don't is Do and
Not put together, so do not even think about anything." She said. "Fine. I'm going to stay down in my
prison. Not doing anything like other kids." I cried. "Other kids don't exploit places. And We'll be
talking to Kiatu." She growled glaring. "You know, I'm just going to be locked down there and take
my punishment too." Kiatu said struggling. "Ah, no. This is a more serious matter with you Kiatu."
She said. So I went down alone.
"I hate this"
Tak
"I swear Mistress it's not my fault!" Kiatu begged taking his disguise off. "Oh really? Then explain
why you smell like cherries" I hissed. "She ate it! She's my Mistress too! I can't say no!" He begged.
"She ATE it? And she didn't gag or choke? Or die?" I asked. "I didn't know she was supposed to."
Kiatu said nervously. "But Kiatu, we made you for a VERY specific reason. To protect Lon from
trouble not turn her into a gang member!" I hissed. "But Mistress I-" I snapped, causing Kiatu to
retract in fear. "You what?" I hissed. "I only did what I was programmed to. And she's reading minds.
I think you should tell her the REAL reason." Kiatu said nervously laughing. "Besides she needs some
other friends, a robotic gerbil isn't exactly the best influence on a growing young smeet." He laughed
trying to change the subject. "Okay Zim get over here, Good Cop Bad Cop time." I hissed. "Kiatu
why? This is something I'd expect GIR to do!" Zim said walking over. "You two programmed me to
be Lon's. She is my Mistress. I only obeyed my programming." Kiatu explained. "But you forget. I
am the dominance here so even if you are her's you answer to me! If it goes against keeping Lon safe
you come to me!" I hissed. "I feel like I'm under a magnifying glass here guys! Lea's the one who said
Lon could go!" Kiatu said quickly. "Lea?" Zim asked. "Yes Master Zim?" She asked. "You let Lon
out of the house?" Zim asked. "Yeah. Oh come on! Midget needs air every once and a while! Kiatu
is right locking her up and throwing away the key isn't the answer!" Lea said. "You've been reading
the same novel for three years Lea." I hissed. "You know what I really read? Psychology books! The
Library stopped letting me have murder books after the last librarian suddenly....Retired" Lea said.
"And I know she needs friends! Drop out, Let her hang out with Helena, do something!" Lea laughed.
"Being around me 24/7 is not healthy for a smeet. It's barely Healthy for adults" Lea explained. I
rolled my eyes. "Fine. Computer!" I yelled. "Yes?" It asked. "Get Lon up here, I'll listen to her side if
she doesn't make up stories of pixies" I yelled. "No wait scratch that. Zim and I will be going out. That
is her punishment." I hissed. "Fine."
Lon
"Mom and Dad are going out? Those Fiends! Hurting me like that!" I yelled. "But Helena is here."
I grinned. "Is the Dib Shoe here?" I asked. "Yep." I grinned and got in the elevator. "You can't go up."
Computer said. "I'm getting up one way or another." I growled. I got Lea's laser pen and cut open the
elevators top. Climbing up I realized it got smaller. "Oh no I'm going to die here!" I yelled. I then
noticed the ground level was only a couple inches away. "Okay, Kiatu? Can you hear me?" I called.
"Oh no! Helena! Timmy's trapped in a well!" I heard Kiatu say sarcastically. "Not funny!" I yelled up
trying to get through. "Zim IS right! The shrinking button is fun!" Kiatu laughed. I glared and pulled
myself up. "WHEN I GET UP THERE YOU ARE ALL DEAD!" I yelled. They laughed. I grabbed the
pen and made a huge hole. "My Gosh that is a void" I said gulping, but I jumped and caught myself
on another pipe. "Wow this place is Awesome!" I yelled. I grabbed the laser and cut through the hole
that shrank. So I randomly cut other places to confuse them. I squeezed through only getting the top of
me out. "Who's the dead person that laughed?" I growled. "Peh, Clever." Lea said looking away. I
pulled through. "Hi Helena!" I greeted. "Lon, where are you going?" Helena asked. "The door.
Someone's there! I hear them." I said. "Why should we believe you won't run?" The shoe asked.
"Because Dib-Shoe, Kiatu won't run with me. I honestly hear something on the other side." I hissed.
They stared like I'm crazy. Maybe I am, I don't know. I opened the door and saw another Living being.
"Hi I'm Teresa! I'm new here!" She greeted. "Wow! Another living being!" I said. "I'm Lon!" I said
smiling. Helena stared. "Can I come in?" Teresa asked. "Sure! Eh, what brings you here?" I asked
ecstatic. "I heard lasers. And I snuck out my window to get here." Teresa said. "Windows? Fascinating"
I said. "I prefer Air ducts myself." I said. " My window is at the top of that apartment over there. I
had to handstand my way over here, on a tightrope, wearing my underwear on my head." I stared.
"Why not just roof jump?" I asked. "Because that is too easy. But You're Blonde so I don't think you
even know how." Teresa said snobbishly. I was offended. "I practically exploited every Bakery in the
Tri-State area! I just swung my way through the floorboards holding onto tubes in a dark void!" I said
upset. "Can you walk a tightrope?" She asked. "I can bike a tightrope" I said competitively. "Fine. So
you can do things. Ever taken a swig of vodka?" She asked. "No! I don't Drink! Neither should you!"
I yelled. "I don't I just wanted to see if you were smart" Teresa said. "Nice to meet you. Care to go
to my place?" She asked. "My Mom says I can't have friends" I said sadly. "My Mom says I can't hang
tightropes building to building, but I still got here." She said. "Hey uh...Helena! Look Your father is
coming at you with a knife!" I lied. She turned around and I ran off.
Keltic
"Mal is that Earth?" I asked. Mal nodded. "That's the place. Got your disguise?" Mal asked. I
nodded. "Today we save the Empire" Mal said. "Today I get some sleep!" I said and watched it go.
Narrator
I watched as Lon made her escape using Teresa's route. Unfortunately so did Quinn. "So she's really
powerful? Of course she has my genes not Tak's." Quinn said pushing me aside. "No! She can't control
her powers! No habla inglés? She isn't powerful!" I pleaded. "Of course she is. If I'm right she can
read minds? Then when Tak and Zim hear about the empire like they will sometime, she'll find out
about it, and run off. Zim and Tak will come looking for her. But she'll be dead along with them."
Quinn plotted. I grabbed her. "No Quinn! You can't hurt her!" I pleaded. "She's Irken, I care not of
if it's right. All Irkens deserve to die." Quinn hissed. "This is Wrong!" I yelled. I had to voice my
opinion. "Would Tisvana go this far to keep power?!" I yelled. Quinn glared at me. "Did she keep the
power? No. Come Hally Sumera's first job is upon us." Quinn hissed. "No! I won't let you hurt Lon!
Or Sumera what you're doing is sick! I'm tired of this!" I yelled. Quinn ignored me and walked off.
"I've got to save her." I muttered and took my helmet off and threw it on the floor. I looked at my
reflection and my life came back to me. All of it.
I'm Hally what's your name?
"Mal? I'm Leaving with or without you!"
"I'm the only one left." "So am I."
"Well Der we found what we were looking for"
"I thought you were dead..."
"All I saw was a Careless evil monster with my friends name"
"It's Quinn's Fault"
I staggered back confused grabbing my head. Black oil was seeping out. A lot of it. Confused I
turned around. The same Silhouette that haunted me, the one from the oil bar. "You-You Why?" I
asked Quinn. "Because I work alone. All I need is myself. And I realized this. You needed to die" She
laughed shooting me again. I grabbed my helmet, and ran. "Irk no. I can't black out now" I pleaded
at my dizziness. I hissed once to wake me up, but I looked at my portal. "Only one way both of us
will survive Lon. I hope this works" I said and reset the coordinates to Helena and Dib, I fell through
slipping into a black peaceful void. A quiet one of which there was silence.
I think I was dead
Okay, now that the action's picking up, I have explanations. Okay I don't, but did Kiatu remind
anyone of Nuka from the Lion King II? And The way Lon and Teresa met is the same way me and Yaz.
Except we didn't become friends and There weren't random tubes in my house, yes I know Tak was
OOC a little, Zim too with his one line, but next chapter I ignore Lon and get back to the plot.
R&R !
