"so" Tallia peered at the faces around her. her recruiteing speech became easyier and easyier

every time she said it." Went to join?"

Zim imedeatly shouted yes and kept shouting intill tallia had star mute him.

the others slowly agreed; dib responding last "ive been fighting zim for a waile and opposing

your race all together, but" he looked up at her " i trust you so ill join."

"good" tallia leaned back "we could use all the help we can get.

Gaz waved her hand." so tallia you said your DNA came from two tall irkens, where they mil

and star?"

"yes"

"so theyre like your parents."

"yes"

"so-"

Mil made an anoncement over the intercom before she finished " weve arived at foodcourtia,

meet me outside at once."

they all exited the ship and followed mil inside. tallia glanced up at the sign that flashed

'Shloogorgh's Flavor Monster' the sign had always grossed her out.

as they walked through the door Sizz-lorr greeted them with a growly tone, faceing away

from them "we're closed"

Mil was about to respond in his own rude tone when tallia stoped him and winked.

she put her hands on her hips " but i was so excited to see an old friend again, you sure we

cant stay" her friendly tone was a rare sound now a days; only heard by her friends.

"sizz-lorr turned with a big smile on his face, arms stretched out for a hug. " TALLY!"

"Sizzy!" Tallia trew up her arms and run up to hug his neck. "Its been forever! How've you

been?"

Sizz-lorr sat her down, "oh great," he noticed zim, "YOU! Why did you come back after you

'escaped'?" He air quoted the word with a hiss.

Zim twitched, "Thats none of your buisness!"

Tallia smiled " he's with me " her smile turned to an evil smirk "but you can still make him

work if you want "

"Good because the squid monsters back " sizz-lorr handed zim a uniform and cleaning

supplies and sent him on his way. " would you like your usual tally?"

"Sure" Tallia smiled and sat at her usual seat. The others squeezed in with her, mil sitting

directly in front of her. Zim struggled with the squid monster, his screams audible in the

background. Sizz-lorr laughs as he walks by him holding a tray of drinks. He sets the tray on

Tallias table and sits in the booth behind her, his arms crossed over the seat back "so what

brings you back to irken territory?"

"Well-" mil slapped to table and stood up.

"it's classified business. Which means it's none of your business."

Sizz-lorr glared at him and growled out " I could kick you out at any time you know."

Mil huffed and sat back down.

Star chuckled trying to lighten the mood and change the subject " why don't we allow our

new members introduce themselves."

Mil glanced at her and then at the group "fine"

Tallia grinned " let's make a game out of it." Every one looked at her, surprised at the strange

childlike demeanor In the current situation," come on. it will be fun. Has you first. Say

something about your self and then choose who's next and so forth."

Has opened one eye," if you get on my nerves I will make you wish I was never born. Dib you

go next." Has got out her game slave, the group shivered at her coldness.

Dib blinked and thought for a moment " I'm dib. I'm a paranormal investigator. Violet your

turn."

Violet nervously stammered " I'm not new but ok. I'm violet. I'v known tallia for a while. My

favorite color is lavender. Ok skoodge your turn."

Skoodge stood up on the seat and dusted off his shirt. " I'm skoodge. I was an invader but

now I live in zims basement. Gir you can go now."

For jumped up on the table " I LIKE WALLFLES!"

Tallia perked an antennae "okay. I don't think zim needs an intro " she looked over to where

he had just defeated the squid and had started walking towards them. " so why don't you two

introduce you selves. " She motioned towards mil and star , " you too sizzy " she looked

behind her.

Mil waved his hand " hi I'm mil. I'm the leader. Don't question my authority." He Seemed

uninterested.

Star nudged his arm with her elbow " I'm star. I handle the infirmary on the ship as well as

navigation and meals. I'm also a guidance counselor " she smiled her signature smile and

looked to sizz-lorr "go ahead "

Sizz-lorr Put his hand on his chest " I'm sizz-lorr, owner of this establishment and a

childhood friend of tallia. I also can't stand zim."

Dib laughed " welcome to the club."

Zim hit dib in the back of the head. Dib glared back at him as he sat next to star on the other

side of the table.

The group chatted casually for a while. no one but Sizz-lorr noticed the tall figure in eliete

armour come through the door. Sizz-lorr flatly stated " we're cosed."

A familier voice waved over tallia's antenneae. " I'm sure you can make an exception." every

ones head turned to the door. Standing there, dressed like an Irken eliete, was Red.
