Chapter 2 - Meet the Family

"Daddy Tallest. Daddy Tallest!" I tugged on my Tallest's long suit. "Daddy Tallest, I wanna be an invader."

My dad looked at me and said, "Zo-e, trust me, you don't wanna be one. You could die!"

"I bet Uncle Tallest would let me."

Purple was there on the couch sitting next to my father, Tallest Red. I know what you're thinking. "This isn't possible", "Irkens aren't born naturally", blah, blah, blah. So what? In fact, I'll tell you how it happened.

Daddy Tallest Red met my mom, Mommy Tallest Eria. They were so in 'love' which I don't believe in, then again, the Irken Control Brain works in mysterious ways, that they went to the factory where they made smeets, and they picked me out. 16 Irk years later, they loved me so much, that they wanted another. So there comes Smeet Raziel. Purple is the same height as Red so they rule together. They're best friends, so Purple decided to be my Uncle Tallest. I'm not really sure though. He might just be obligated to do it or something...

"Come on Red, just let the poor kid go. If you love something, set it free."

Red rolled his eyes and said "Can you stop looking at the TV and stop saying things that it says?"

"Man, ever since you had Zo-e and Raziel you've gotten really sissy."

I quickly turned my head to Purple and looked at Red. "Daddy Tallest, you can still act the why you acted before-"

Raziel's crying interrupted me.

Red sighed of relief. "Saved by the bell. Why don't you go get Raziel, your mom's probably asleep by now. It's 11 o' clock."

I went to Raziel's nursery and got him. Raziel is my smeet brother. He's 6 months old. I'm not going to exaggerate, but you'll think I am. Raziel IS the cutest smeet I've seen. I'm not saying this because he's my brother. He's cute. He has big dark blue eyes, cute little antennas pointing down, and he drools. A lot. He's big and chubby too.

"Let's go see Daddy Tallest!" He always laughs when I say that. He loves Daddy Tallest, always laughs when he comes home. I like him too, but like Uncle Tallest says, he can get sissy.

I walked back to where I started, except with Raziel in my arms. As soon as he saw Red and Purple, he tried to go towards them.

"Uh-uh, not until Daddy Tallest let's me be an invader." I held Raziel tight.

"Zo-e, if you become an invader, you'll die! Plus, you haven't fully grown to be tall yet!"

Purple stood up and stood next to me. He looked at me and petted my head. "I vote that it's ok."

"But Purple-"

"Red, she's tough. Didn't she fight a guy from Planet Jackers?"

"Yes, but-"

"And win?"

Red sighed. "You know what? Why don't you ask your mother and let her decide."

Speak of the devil, Mommy Tallest came through the door. "Hi my cute little smeets!"

Raziel laughed and I said hi.

"I heard Razi crying and came to get him."

Red stood up and hugged Mommy Tallest. "But aren't you supposed to be sleeping?"

"He can sleep with me, can't he? What are you guys talking about, I heard some ruckus while I was getting up. Is there anything wrong?"

Daddy wasn't gonna say anything, so I spoke up. "Mommy Tallest, I wanna be an invader."

"Really?! Finally! I'm so happy for you sweetie!" She came and hugged me.

"It's settled then. I wanna go and participate in Operation Impending Doom II. Tomorrow."
