After Zim guided Gaz to her room he went to the bridge to have a donut tossed at him. Catching it, Red cried out in triumph. "Congratulations! About time. Now let's leave this miserable planet."

Taking a bite of his donut, Zim smirked. "The sooner the better."

"So... Will... She... Behave?" Purple asked between bites.

"She came willingly. She will. Although I might be the only one who receives any type of punishment when she wants to rebel in private." Zim replied.

"Well that will be one rough honeymoon then." Red joked.

Nudging, Red, Purple added in, "Well if he wanted her so badly then that must be what he wanted."

Zim laughed as he downed another donut. "And those remaining prisoners?"

"Eh... They stunk up everything so we let them go back to their cage on their planet." Red said. "We are keeping the cook though. He's good actually."

Zim listened to them speak on and on about the new cook and how he can turn snacks into art. The donut was good, but it was normal after living all that time on that planet for him. Other then that, he let them prattle on in front of him.

As for Gaz, she wandered around her spacious room before stopping to stare out at the retreating planet she agreed to leave. Her eyebrows furrowed in thought before hearing light footsteps enter the room making her believe that Zim returned, but it was a female Irken with an odd shape head and very light purple eyes. "Doesn't anyone knock here?"

"Tallest Zim told me to come here right away." She announced. "I'm here to measure you for new clothes."

Gaz sneered. "I don't like anyone touching me."

"Not even the Tallest?" She asked pointing towards her mark on her neck.

"I don't like anyone pointing out blemishes. Its rude."

Stuttering now, she tried to maintain her composure. "As a future Queen, you are expected to look your very best at all times."

"What is your name?" Gaz demanded. "You already did two things that are considered rude in my culture. Not knocking and not introducing yourself." Really, she didn't care who she was, but if she was going to practically shit herself, let her.

"I apologize for that, Mistress Gaz. My name is Scooch." She said bowing.

Scooch? Zim's name is officially normal. So is hers and Dib's. "Are you a fast measurer?"

"Yes."

Groaning out, Gaz will have to remember to punch Zim when she sees him again. "Don't touch my necklace for any reason. Got it?"

"Yes, my Mistress."


Tak was dropped off on this miserable planet to die. She was alone. She didn't even have her trustworthy Mimi any longer. She was given something to disguise herself at least. Choosing her old disguise which was now matured, she didn't know which way to go. She was always so self-reliant and now here she was wondering which is her feet and which is her hands. She'll need a place to live. She'll need money. She thought about Dib, but after last time would he care to see her? Going to a human. That was rich, but at least he was one of the takable ones. Sighing, she wandered around till she found someone.

"Um, excuse me. I was wondering if you could help me." Tak said approaching a burly young guy.

Turning to face her, the man cheered. "Their gone! The miserable aliens are gone! Can you believe it?"

"No... I. Can't." Tak fought the urge to roll her eyes at him.

"I know. I was shocked too like that." He said chuckling before calming. "So what did you want, dear?"

Tak forced herself to act pleasant. "Do you know a Dib Membrane and where he might be living?"

"Oh that one is easy. That is one of the easiest places to locate. He's a hero you know. Just look it up in the phone book."

A phone book? Tak preferred a computer.

"Or you can look over there. He's in front of the old Membrane Lab's." The man pointed out.

Turning around, Tak thought about what humans call dumb luck as she saw how he stood in front of that busted up building before turning away from it. Tak made a mad dash over to him. "Dib!"

Dib glanced behind his shoulder watching the old form of Tak running up to him. "Glad your alright at least. I heard what happened to you. Sorry. Did you escape?"

"No. Zim was the one who exiled me here. Red and Purple agreed. I have nothing. He just gave me the means to disguise myself and nothing more." Tak said. "I know you hate me and I'm sorry about your sister."

"I'll get her back one way or another, Tak. Believe me." Reaching out to take her arm. "You might as well stay in Gaz's room until you can get on your own two feet."

"I want to help you. I may not have anything much, but I still have my knowledge." Tak offered. "I don't want him to win and she shouldn't of compromised herself."

"She did it to mostly save me." Dib's tone was so dead. So sad. "Could we not talk right now. I just want to be alone in my thoughts."

"Sure. Anything."

"But before that happens. Be yourself, Tak. Whatever your doing right now is freaking me out a little."

She did sound so subservient making her sick to her core.


Zim received a punch the moment he walked into her room. Shaking his head, he stared down at her in wonder. "What was that for?"

"What do you think?" Gaz retaliated back turning her back to him as she crossed her arms. "I wasn't fond of her entering without permission, but to have shock upon shock of also another reason of being measured for a wedding dress. It almost made me scream."

"You do remember that you agreed to be my Queen, right?"

"I do, but I don't have to like it."

"Am I that repulsive? You have kissed me before."

Turning to face him, she made a face at him. "If you cry out, VICTORY FOR ZIM, at the ceremony, I will castrate you. Bad enough I have to have sex with you."

Sighing, he palmed his face. "I repeat, am I that repulsive?"

"Your attitude is. Your cute. Okay, but your attitude blows. I want to kick it straight in the balls." Gaz spat out.

Seeing how close she was to the bed, he was tempted. "So you think I'm cute, eh?" He teased.

"Shut up, Zim."

Backing her up to the bed, she tried to push him away from her, but placed herself on the bed by mistake with Zim following close behind. He just hovered over her face. "Oh I won't cry out like that." Moving his face to the side of her neck where he bit her, he kissed her very gently. "But you do know we are having our honeymoon."

Making a face at that she tried to move away from him but lifted her arms above her head to keep her steady below him as he continued kissing her on the neck. She tried to think of explosions. Maiming. Just total destruction. Anything else.

"You are all mines now, little Gaz." He breathed out reaching the hollow of her neck.

She'll turn her mind off right now and act like a corpse. She didn't react when he held her thin wrists down with now only one of his hands as he reached down. Gaz hoped he wasn't going under her clothes now making her struggle a little before stopping when he showed her a disk.

"Would you like to watch something in particular? A pre-wedding present perhaps of someone you despise." Getting off of her to hand her the disk for her personal inspection, Zim enjoyed watching the light in her eyes dance. It was like she couldn't wait for the possibility of seeing it.

"Show me." Gaz requested standing up.

Placing his hand on the small of her back, he guided her out to the living area of her quarters, and sat her down on the couch. Zim went to pop the disk in and wandered back to sit near her as it showed from the beginning from where he started with Iggins. He watched her expression change several times, but never to disgust. She smiled in the beginning watching him squirm with him before she started to giggle when he informed him that he drank another human. It was the moment when Red and Purple went in there and he started screaming and squirming to seeing their end reactions, Gaz was fully leaning back with her hand clutching her stomach in full laughter.

"Oh Dib would be horrified with me laughing like this, but he deserved it." Gaz stated as she continued laughing.

Zim never heard her laugh like this before making him grin fully. "You enjoyed your present?"

"Ow my side!" She was laughing so hard that it was hurting. "I never laughed so much in my life. Play it again, please."

So he did over and over again. He enjoyed her little bit of commentary or voice over for Iggins. It was so unlike her, but still evil sounding. He wanted to take her now.

Laughter subsiding, Gaz felt so tired as she fell silent. She didn't want to encourage Zim by kissing him on the cheek by doing what he did, she just said, "I'm suddenly very tired."

"I'll let you rest then. I still have much to do, and don't worry we don't share a quarters until after we are wed."

Lifting an eyebrow up, she shook her head. "Yeah, that didn't help make me worry less, Zim."

"You'll get use to me in time."

Gaz heard the way he said that. He didn't realize how much lonelier she felt now. She thought she was before, but now... She had to pause her thinking, she was acting like a stupid baby.
