I'm really trying with Skoodge's character to expand on him and yeah I do feel bad for him too and I'm the sap who is writing this, Ngrey and Guest.

It is good Miyuki stepped in - Everclear70

I do make Gaz a bit more grown up in my versions so she tends to get OOC so she has shown a kinder side to Dib, Invader Johnny.

Pressner had to put a viewing up of the serpent as it destroyed another planet and was nearing a Vortion ship. He studied it carefully knowing how many were made to create one beast alone. He felt the tension behind him as Tenn came closer to examine the scene. It wasn't the Resisty ship that was destroyed, but they were powerless to stop it.

For Tenn, she was sick of begging to be brought back. No one was listening to her and to see that creature do that just now made her feel more hatred. "He'll play with Irk won't he? He'll want to play with us just to watch us tremble in fear. I'm correct aren't I?"

"Yes." Such a simple and concise answer for her.

As she turned around, Tenn whispered out, "And you don't even care."

He shut his eyes hearing the disappointment in her voice. Never in his life had he been this conflicted.

Dib watched Zim pacing back and forth in his quarters knowing how fast they were both unraveling, but Zim was far more quicker in his emotions to release every bit of bite he had like normal.

"What is Zim supposed to do? If we remain like this it will be difficult to stay married to Gaz." Zim complained.

"You think it's easy for me? I'm stuck in your damn body and I know Tak wouldn't want to remain with me like this." Dib complained back as he raised up one arm in the air to wave it around.

Stopping his pacing, Zim stared at him blankly. "I'm Zim though."

Making a face at him, Dib wanted to punch him but it meant punching his own face. "Yes I know because we established that fact a fucking long time ago now. Jerk."

"Want me to kiss Tak I will just to shut you up!" Zim shouted.

Mouth dropping open at that thought, Dib suddenly blurted out. "Well I'll kiss Gaz just to shut you up!"

Both quiet after that outburst, Zim stuck his tongue out. "Sick! That's your sister your willing to kiss." Sticking his tongue out even further he added, "I would never kiss Tak in a million years."

Looking as if he was about to hurl, Dib noted Zim's own behavior. "I won't ever say that out loud besides I find it interesting you were less disgusted at the thought of me kissing Gaz compared to you kissing Tak."

"While I'm thinking of you kissing your own sister is disgusting in itself, I was also thinking at the same time how I wished to be kissing her with my own mouth again. That is why less of a tongue sticking out. I was in between thoughts." Zim stated with such openness. "Your sister means everything to me just like Tak and Jack mean everything to you. Zim is afraid of losing her. I don't want to lose the one thing that I've wanted even more than this whole thing."

"And I don't want to lose, Tak. Tak has always been that one that was able to capture my heart and keep it. I don't want to lose her." Dib tapped the tip of his boot into the ground.

"Romantic saps." Elias chimed in as he appeared. "Ohhhh I don't want to lose her wahhhh." Laughing at their misfortune he enjoyed how they stared him down. "Bet you wonder how you can switch yourself back and how you can stop that oh so mean creature from destroying your precious planet along with your race, Zim."

Zim wasn't fond of being openly mocked in this way as he stepped forth. "You are nothing but a brat. No wonder your own father doesn't like you."

Elias simply shrugged at the observation. "The feeling is entirely mutual." Studying him in Dib's form he made an unhappy face. "I have to admit that I'm not fond of you in Dib's body after what I did on my planet."

Dib spat at the memory. "Change us back."

"On one condition." Elias studied his actual form rather than address Dib himself. "You may of not enjoyed it, but I did."

Clicking his tongue, Dib almost punched him. "What is your deal? I mean seriously. Are you damaged in the head or something? First your father wants the same thing with Gaz and now you want that with me. Ugh."

"My goal was simply to drive you crazy for a little while. My father may not know about some things that I do, but I do them in order to help drive up the insanity." Elias answered with some clarity. "It is the same as what he is doing right now. Drive you as insane as possible before the inevitable end. He will get what he wants and once he does that is when doom befalls the Irken Empire." Leaning back against a wall he waved his hand in front of him in almost of indifference. "I'm sure you already know this by all that he has done so far, but still clarity is what is all that is needed."

Dib and Zim studied him feeling the truth there since all there was has been tricks that included some serious issues in between. Dib almost looked deflated before putting his shoulders back up. "No more tricks involving this correct? You change us back and you get that one tiny thing from... Me." Distaste was filling his mouth at the thought of it. "Then go ahead."

Smiling, Elias waved his hand simply in front of them having their bodies switch to the point of weakness. Walking over to Dib, he placed his hand under his chin and placed the gentlest kiss on his mouth before pulling back. "That is all I wanted." Pulling back he stepped back. "I already given you a hint of his intentions and I know you know of the rest. This won't be the only trick involved to distract you. All of you."

Watching him leave, Dib wiped his mouth of that touch. "The fucking things you do."

"At least it wasn't me and at least we are back to normal." Zim got up first before helping him to his feet. "Our mates will be happy to have us back."

"True and it looks like the son just wants to betray his father. Or so it seems." Wiping his mouth again, Dib cursed under his breath. "That better not happen again."

Zim just patted him on the shoulder not knowing exactly what to say.

He brought her back to Irk instead of the Massive. Tenn stepped away from Pressner a little in shock as she considered him. "Surprised you didn't take me back to the Massive or keep me where you lived."

"I thought you would rather keep to your original plan." Pressner said almost under his breath. "I'll do my best to keep Elias under control but I unfortunately can't keep promises there since he does as he pleases at all times."

"You seem like you really want to help me though." Yes she was hopeful as she examined his now distraught face.

"I'm still contracted, Tenn." He was close to breaking even when he stepped forward to touch her very swollen belly. He was so silent even after he kissed her lips and departing from her.

Her eyes were downcast as she went into deep thought herself before deciding to call up Zim.

Gaz felt a very familiar mouth tracing kisses along her exposed skin. Feeling a clawed hand move in a way that always brought her so much happiness and pleasure, Gaz turned with her eyes open to face Zim. It was him fully. She knew it.

"How? When?" She wanted to hear his voice.

That trademark lopsided smirk of his always made him appear so devilish and cute to her. "Well Zim didn't have to sacrifice his lips for this exchange."

Smile vanishing, Gaz quickly caught his meaning. "Oh poor, Dib, but at least I get you back."

Lifting her gown up, Zim started to purr as he saw more skin get exposed. "Yes you do little Gaz." Removing her nightgown he proceeded in kissing her naked flesh. "Now I would love to be with my wife."

Tak knew it was Dib with how he approached her. After he walked into their quarters and he checked on their now sleeping son, Dib practically stalked towards her as she slowly started to remove her clothing in front of his leering gaze. She loved how he started to do the same to match her own movements.

"Glad to see you back, Dib."

Closing the distance between them, Dib lifted her up loving how her legs wrapped around his waist. "I'm happy to be back." Placing her on the bed he instantly positioned himself to begin making love to her.

Seeing who was at the door, Tenn allowed Skoodge in looking none too pleased. "Greetings Skoodge."

"I see he brought you back." Skoodge bit out. "How kind of him."

Making a face at him, Tenn turned her back towards him. "If you are here to lay some type of guilt trip on me Skoodge then get out now."

"Do you love him?" He demanded.

Still with her back to him. "I have no clue now get the heck out if you continue this."

Skoodge couldn't take the feeling of her acting like this didn't matter as he went up to her. "You know how they say we are the worst race, Tenn? He makes us look all good and kind. What has gotten into you?"

Turning around quickly, Tenn sneered at him. "What has gotten into you, Skoodge?! Are you that jealous? I called to inform I was back here. I didn't expect you to decide to confront me like this."

Skoodge's normally lazy half lidded eyes took on a different intensity as he heard what she said to him. "Yes I'm jealous! I want to be with you! I deserve it and not some assassin who is out to help destroy us all! Look at you! You got pregnant with his child. What happened to you, Tenn? You use to be better than this and now you're..."

*Slam*

Gritting her teeth at Skoodge's fallen form on the ground, Tenn unclenched her fist. "Now I'm what, Skoodge? Finish that sentence off. I dare you."

"I love you."

He sounded so pathetic right now making her turn her back to him. "Please leave, Skoodge so I can try to maintain some symbolism of normalcy of our friendship."

Getting up he decided to be bold by quickly coming up to her, grab her by the shoulder, and turn her around to kiss her. He never kissed anyone before and hoped this was the way to do it, but by her reaction when she pushed him away with an open look of resentment, Skoodge knew he went too far leaving him no choice but to depart from her.

Going over to her bed, Tenn laid down going into instant deep thought before saying, "I'm surprised you didn't say or do anything." Feeling the bed shift slightly from the additional weight she didn't bother to glance in his direction.

Half lounging on her bed, Pressner stared out towards the door. "There was no need for me to do so. He's already torturing himself quite enough right now."

"He's only started feeling this way since I've gotten pregnant." Turning her head enough to glance at him she saw how normal he seemed. "I feel only friendship for him."

"And what about me?" His voice was very soft. "I know I'm in love with you."

Closing her eyes she actually heard the honesty there. "I love you too, but this can't be after all you've done."

Pressner figured their relationship was doomed from the very beginning and he hated it.

And no I don't hate Skoodge I just couldn't think of any other character to do this with.
