Yo Bosses and Mistresses so I know that some of y'all don't get my style of typing but do understand i was taught to type this way and it's been a habit since. Really the most is I can do is try to fix all my typing errors and try to every sentence i type make since to the best possibilities.

But I also want to thank those who point out my error for the chapters I've typed it shows me that you care and giving me support in not only me but the story itself so again thanks lot thank you for reading and I'll talk to you guys later.

-Past Of 2005 Part 3.5/5-

On the walk home Dib and Tak were talking to Tenn & Tex about how the first day went. Tex had said he finds everyone very strange and unbelievable oblivious as to discover he was wearing a disguise. Tenn even asked if this planet suffered from stupidity disease or something for none of humanity not to detected them through their disguises.

Dib had to explain over and over and over again that stupidity isn't a disease and that humanity is just still in the mindset that they're the only beings in this universe.

"So?" Tenn asked.

"So bottom line is everyone on this planet is universally shy to what is really going on, right?" asked Tex.

"Pretty much", Dib answered.

While this is going on Tak was still thinking about Zim's proposal about getting back at the Empire all the way back to her new base. The base she stayed in was two story house three blocks away from the school. First-floor room options can include formal living and dining areas or more-casual kitchen/great room configurations that feature dramatic two-story soaring ceilings. Entryways often take center stage in two-level homes with a grand staircase as a focal point.

Through this she looked like a an ordinary girl walking home with no suspension what so ever. When they enter through the house to Tak's underground lab. Tenn and Tex went to the recharge their paks in their personal quarters leaving Dib and Tak alone.

"So Dib if you follow me to your room this way", Tak said moving over to room across the electrical chasm followed by Dib to the end of the corridor with an elevator there.

"Here is where you will sleep for now Dib", Tak introduced. The room was the size of a large living room with a queen size bed to the left, a paranormal laboratory to the right of the room, and a building refrigerator along with a built in window. I know it's not much but I made it as cozy as possible for you, you like? Tak finished.

Dib look at the room one more time turned to Tak then at the window inside and said:"it's beautiful, but it's missing something."

"It is? What?", Tak asked. He didn't answer he just stared out the window.

She watched him gaze out the window for a long time. It had been a few years since she deceived him and tried to claim his planet, and now that he was under the same roof, Tak felt she had to lay their past to rest.

Dib turned and glared down at her, and she backed away.

"Tak? What do you truly want?" Dib asked.

He didn't sound the least bit spiteful or bored. In fact it was just pure curiousness with a look. Tak remained guarded and on her toes as always, tough as nails, this only time, there was a sense of humility about her.

"I...have noticed that you and Gaz are becoming real allies" Tak said trying to be frank.

"Oh, yeah! It's...it's really great", Dib said sarcastically. Dib smiled tiredly at her, trying to be polite in spite of everything.

Yet he still remembered.

"Yes...Listen, Dib-",Tak was interrupted by Dib.

"Do I have to? I mean, after all you put me through I don't wan-" Dib was counter-interrupted by Tak.

"That's why I'm here. I...*sigh* I'm not good at this. I'm not used to it, so can you be patient please?", Tak asked with sincerity.

Dib tilted his head, waiting for her to make more sense. It took her a good minute to get herself together; she was new to this.

All her life, she had hardly ever had to say "I'm sorry," but here she was and she couldn't turn back now either.

"I'm...sorry", Tak said. Dib's eyes widen.

"I mean it. I'm really sorry"...Tak said with her eyes saddened, grief and regret ringing from her voice.

"All the lies, all the deceit...when I came to Earth, my only intention was to fell Zim. I really didn't mean to get in this deep"...Tak said

guilt ridden.

"You tried to destroy the Earth!" Dib reminded.

"It wasn't going to be destroyed, it just going to be hollowed out!" her corrected.

"What's the difference?!" he screamed.

Tak sighed as he rubbed her eyes with her hands. This was not going the way as she had hoped.

"I didn't come back here to hurt anybody else...I just wanted to take what was mine, and..you", Tak said hesitantly.

"Me?!"Dib questioned.

"You got in the way and now I have this pain inside", Tak confessed.

Then all was quiet for some time it was a sad quiet. Dib was torn; "how could I tell if she is sincere?" he thought.

Dib eventually spoke: "I wanna believe you, Tak. I wish I could."

Tak took a few steps closer and responded: "But you can! You can trust me now!"

Dib: "Why should I believe you?"

Tak: "I DON'T-...know..."

Dib: "You made me think someone cared, Tak. Do you know how big a deal that was to me back then?"

Tak became somber.

"I can only imagine..." she uttered softly.

Dib glanced at her, softening at her sad expression.

When he thought she was his friend, she only ever scowled or smiled calmly. But today she was emotional, flustered, acute - different.

Dib: "...Do you...genuinely understand how destroying a planet full of innocent people for your own gain is wrong?"

Tak: "Yes! I didn't care then, I really didn't. And now? ...I regret it. And seeing you, and seeing you and Zim...together, nh...I'm still pissed at him - that will never change. But you...you're not bad. And as dimwitted and bumbling as your species is they weren't so bad, either."

Dib: "Well I wouldn't go THAT far."He chuckled.

Tak, however, didn't smile. Dib soon became serious again as well, sighing as the awkward grew stronger.

This elephant in the room had been here for a while now, and now that it was being addressed its weight seemed to bring down the stars.)

Tak: "I know I was wrong, but I...I really did think you were interesting. The ghosts, the vampire...thing, whatever they were- You're different than your people, Dib. Smarter, sincere...Honestly? You made it harder for me to try and do what I had come to do. I would have regretted disposing of you. I really am sorry, and...I'd like to still be friends, if..."

Dib: "I don't know...It seemed genuine, it really did, still one thing remained; Tak tricked me, and took advantage of everyone he thought again."

Dib: "Again I really wanna believe you, but I just...can't right now...do you understand?"

Tak: "..."

Surprisingly, she was heartbroken. A stone-cold ex-soldier, Tak never thought someone's friendship would mean anything to her. But as she stood before Dib and listened to him reject her and her offers to try and make amends, her soul crumpled with shame. She swallowed a very dry wad of spit and looked down at his feet.

It was clear how deeply she was regretting it all, but Dib didn't give in that. Not entirely anyway, but he is humane. So by nature he still believed in second chances. His eyes, as his voice, softened, and the young man he was growing into seemed to get that much more mature.

Dib: "Tak, that side of you I saw back when I thought we were friends...I liked it. You just...kinda blew it. But we can be friends however if you want to have me trust you again you got to make it through my trial basis till I've decided to fully trust you again, do you understand?"

"I understand", Tak replied slightly smile.

And here is the chapter that I promise and I'm am sorry that it's late but I had to revise it so many time till I got it to work. That being said this is the starting point for the pairing DATR and the next chapter is going to be ZAGR. So just in case you don't get the chapter. I wanted to get more detail about how Dib and Tak made for the pairing to work in the story so I tried to make this as emotional as possible. Yet at the same time heart warming even if it's in a dark cartoon. Because in every dark cartoon there is a least some heart felt moment in them at the end or the beginning it's still there so. I hope you enjoy the chapter. I'll start the work on the next one now and I'll talk to you all later.

PS: I'd like to hear what ideas you'd like to see in the story, I'm a negotiable person so don't hesitate and... OK ENJOY,BYE!
