Ch 3

(R&Ppov)

Red sat in his lounge chair scarfing down donuts. Just as purple came in with a fresh batch, Someone announced a communication coming in from earth.

Both Leaders moaned "zim…"

Red closed his eyes as he answered "What is it now zim?" No one Answered and purple nudged his side. Red opened his eyes to see some one he hadn't seen in a while."Tallia….?" He could barely get the word out. Purple hovered in front of him"What do you want? Arnt you supposed to be dead?" He grumbled.

"Shut it purple."Tallia frowned and lifted zim up by his collar"what is this?"

Red finally Managed to get some words out"th-that's zim t-tallia."

"I know how it is red,but why is he here? We agreed so long as I pretended to be Dead you wouldn't send an invader to my planet!" Tallia was quickly losing her cool and starting to yell.

"Well we uh...we just.."red stammered out the quickly cut him off

"How were we supposed to know you were on earth? Huh huh huh? You should have Let us know we're you were."

Tallia growled "get him off my planet."

Zim crawled up on the key board, his back to the tallest."THE EARTH BELONGS TO ZIM!"

Tallia pushed him out of the way And continued her rant. "I want off this planet so I can live in peaceful exile again."

Purple smirked."gee We'd love To except we don't."

"IF YOU DON'T TAKE HIM BACK ILL BRING HIM MYSELF AND IT WON'T BE PRETTY IF I HAVE TO!" Every one in the massive communications room and zims base were staring at Her in disbelief. Red backed away for a moment trying to collect himself, tallia had hardly even acknowledged him 'She must still hate me 'he sadly thought. He looked up sadly at her angry stare. He didn't notice The human behind her looking at him instill he asked"why are you staring like that?"

Tallia looked over at red as Dib asked the question. She noticed the sadness in his eyes. She hadn't looked into those eyes in awhile. She sighed "I want to know the truth. Zim obviously can't be a invader for real -"

"Hey!"

"-so why's he realy here?" Her voice was soft As she asked red the question. Red closed his eyes for a second then opened them."I think it'd be best if we had this conversation in person."

"Yeah I agree."

"Good-bye tallia."Purple tried to stop him from ending communications but the screen still went black.

Tallia stood staring At it for a moment before she became aware of the people around her again.

Gaz opened one eye"what was that about?"

Tallia Sat in zims tiny swivel chair closed her eyes and Rubbed her temples.

She felt a finger tap her shoulder, the opened her eyes to dib Standing in front of her."miss tallia what's going on? Why zim call you a traitor And why did the tallest say you were supposed to be dead?"

"If got time."

Tallia looked at the crowed around her,violet ,gaz ,dib, zim a new irken She didn't notice come in,and A sir unit. She knew the irken was Skoodge.

Everyone but zim looked at her curiously , zim only grumbled and said "it's none Of Your business dib-human." Tallia thumped his head.

"I'll Tell you if you want."

"Yes please" dib Sat down in front of her along with the others, zim just left the room.

"Okay it's like this."

Tallia began " when I was a smeet I was given a defective pak that allowed me to not be assigned a certain job, I had free choice. That became a problem when I got rebellious. I disagreed with the armada takeing over planets. I confronted Tallest Miyuki,the tallest at the time, and the control brains. They brushed me off as a defective and ignored me. I finally got their attention When I nearly caused an uprising Around the time red and purple Became tallest. I was captured and the control brains were going to delete Me but a close friend of mine came up with an Idea, so long as I left Irk pretended to be dead and never showed my face on irk again I could live. The tallest Also promised Not to send an Invader to the planet I was on."

Tallia finished her story with her eyes closed. Then gaz spoke up "now that you've broke your agreements won't they try to delete you again?"

"Possibly. That makes me worried to talk to them in person"

Dib pointed At violet,who was now Out of disguise"and who is this? Why is she Here too?"

"She was like my second in command "

Zim walked back in the room "the voots ready to go but there's not enough room for all of us."

Dib perked up"You can use taks ship if I can go"

Zim grumbled "Fine"

Tallia slowly stood "then let's go"
