Zim POV

"Make sure that they don't tell Gaz that the smeet had a chance." I informed the guard as we walked back to my cell.

"I'll make sure." He said.

He pushed me into the cell and I was bombarded with questions from Dib as soon as I stepped in.

"Are you crying? What did they want from you? Is Gaz okay?" he asked.

I couldn't bear to look at him so I turned away and looked at the ground.

"Gaz is alright." I muttered the tears in the tears in my eyes starting to dry up.

"Oh thank God! Wait… aren't you supposed to be happy?" he asked.

"The smeet." Was all I said, still not getting the guts to look at him.

"What?"

"The smeet, Dib! I had to choose between Gaz and the smeet!" I snapped at him.

He jumped back. "What do you mean?" he asked.

I grabbed at my antennas. "How dumb can you be Dib? I had to choose between the smeet and Gaz! I chose Gaz! The smeet was killed to save Gaz! Get that through your big head Dib!" I yelled at him, my arms flailing everywhere.

I fell to the ground, my back against the wall. "It was a girl… intelligent too." I murmured. "She knew what I was saying… and I think she knew that she was going to die…" I murmured and then noticed that Gir was a bit too quiet.

I looked over to where the little robot was and saw that his eyes were grey.

"Dib? What happened to Gir?" I asked him as I stood up to stand next to Gir.

"Zim… he is in a better place now." Dib murmured, placing his hand on my shoulder.

I fell to my knees and gathered Gir up in my arms. "I'm so sorry Gir." I murmured. "I should have left you back at Irk… I shouldn't have brought you to my mission with me." I murmured. "You were such a good little Sir unit. Always did what you were told… but then Tenn died… and it all went south from there… may you rest in peace… and say hello to Gaz's smeet for me." I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks again.

"How'd this happen?" I asked Dib, not looking away from Gir.

"He deactivated himself before I could get to him… I'm sorry I couldn't save him Zim." Dib said. "You've been through enough for today Zim… why don't you catch some Z's for now?" Dib asked.

"I guess you're right." I told him and went to lie down on the other side of the cell.

Gaz POV

"She's awake!" I heard someone say.

I opened my eyes to see about five people surrounding me. "Uh… hi?"

"Hello ma'am! I hope you feel better."

"I feel fine… how's my smeet?" I asked, my hand going down to pat my stomach… but it felt empty… flat.

Confusion shot through me as I looked down at my stomach. I looked up at the people that were surrounding me. "What did you do to my smeet?" I growled at them.

Just as they were about to explain, what looked like a guard came running in and whispered something in the antenna of one of the aliens.

"Are you sure he asked that?" the alien asked.

The guard nodded and then left, leaving the alien troubled.

He sighed. "Your smeet died in the womb." He said.

My eyes widened. "No… you're lying! My smeet is alive! It's perfectly fine!" I yelled at them, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Ma'am calm down."

"How the hell do you want me to calm down? Your telling me that my smeet is dead! It's alive I know it! It's alive!" I yelled at them sitting up, ignoring the pain that was in the pit of my stomach.

They tried to sit me back down but I clawed at their hands. "Don't touch me! What did you do to my smeet?" I yelled at them tears burning my eyes and trailing down my cheeks.

I fought against their hands until they decided to strap me.

They opened drawers and pulled out straps. They attached them to the bed and grabbed my legs and hands. I fought but they were too strong. "Let go of me! I want to see my smeet!" I yelled out.

They looked at each other and nodded.

One of them left and came back with something in their arms it was wrapped in a blanket.

"Promise me that if we unstrap you, you won't attack us." He said and I nodded.

They unstrapped me and the alien handed me the thing that was wrapped in the blanket.

I cradled it in my arms and uncovered it… my throat tightened. She was beautiful... my little smeet.

The tears that streamed down my face dripped onto hers… but she didn't react.

Her antennas were a dark brown color and curled at the tips.

I reached down and gently opened her eye lids… they were a dark purple, almost on the verge of black.

"You're so beautiful. My baby girl…" I cradled her to my chest and I let my head fall against her small body… my smeet is dead.

A cry that could wake up the dead left my lips… I was hoping that it would do just that… I was hoping that it'll wake up my poor little smeet.

The alines left leaving me alone with my dead smeet.

"No! My smeet! My baby! You can't be dead!" I yelled, gripping her in my arms tightly… she can't be dead.

"Hush little baby…" I sang, a sob escaping my lips. "Don't you cry." I managed to say through sobs and tears.

I kept singing to her, singing every childhood song that I managed to learn. I looked down at my little girl. "I love you." I murmured and bent down to give her a small kiss on her forehead. "I wish it were me instead of you." I murmured as I gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"My little girl. Where ever you are… I love you." I yelled in the air and gripped her in my arms, tears streaming down my face and landing on hers, making it look like she was crying too.
