Chapter Text
[E/C] eyes blinked up warily when the alarm went off, he sighs and stood up from the bed, stretching his arms above his head. " Little Irk, it is time to wake up!" A sweet voice yelled from downstairs and the male groans, he ruffles his hair with another yawn. " I made a nutritious protein breakfast!" The voice quickly adds and the teen groans. " Alright Mother!" He calls out before he slowly sit up from the bed, fixing the bed.
[M/N] slowly sits up from the bed and the lights turn on automatically, and the dark blue walls finally showed with the light. The many stars that were glued to the wall dimmed and the blinds rolled up automatically. The room was large enough for the teen, and the things that were bought for him. He had been living in his room since he was a baby, which is why there were stars glued to the walls still, he didn't want to take them off, despite being a bit childish flare to the room. It was a deep dark blue and stars aligned the walls with some planets like his mother wanted him to stare off into space. His bed was a dark brown color that matched his bedside table and his dresser too but his desk was black metal and glass with a black leather chair. A medium size white carpet laid in the middle of the room and his closet was right behind his door.
" Already a month of school and I hate everything about it." [M/N] mutters as he shrugs off his grey pj's to black jeans, black shirt, red converse and red hoodie, his watch still on himself holding the disguise he had and grabbed his purple backpack as he left the room. He could smell eggs, chocolate chip pancakes, and bacon downstairs. He walks down the stairs passing many pictures that hanged on the walls. Mostly of him and of some nature shots his mother took. He placed his book bag on the grey couch before entering the kitchen. Everything in their house was very modern and technology base thanks to his mother and her Irk equipment, the house just blending in for the last 17 years.
" Good morning, Mother." [M/N] greets as he sat down at the small dining table in the kitchen, her back was turned but her antennas perked up when she heard me. She had long black antennas that were curled at the ends like most feminine Irken's but her tunic was blue and so were her eyes, it went nicely with her green skin. She was out of disguise right now before she had to leave for work. " Morning, my little Irk." She cooed at the teen as she placed a plate in front of him, steaming form how hot it is. " How was your sleep?" She asked as she turns back around to get her son a drink, making sure to add enough strawberry syrup into the glass and mixed it.
" Nothing much, it was good. How was work?" [M/N] asked as he slowly began to eat the pancakes, humming at the taste. She placed the glass down beside him and he picks it up to drink, " Delightful! Humans came in last night with a dislocated knee from drag racing across town, the poor fool had no idea that knees can pop out! He screamed all night! Ahah." She giggles at the end, it would've been creepy if [M/N] wasn't already use to her rambles of this . " Do you work today?" [M/N] asked as he chew on a piece of bacon.
" Sadly, I have programmed the computer tonight to make pizza, extra cheese." She said as she turns around putting the dishes into the dishwasher, making sure the water didn't hit her skin. " But I am sure Red can handle the chores." She adds as little steps enter the kitchen. Red was a SIR bot that would act as a bodyguard when Paloma was first on earth for a research mission a very long time ago. Now the SIR bot acted like a moody teen, more then [M/N]. " Isn't That right, red?" Paloma says as she activates her disguise.
" Whatever, I am getting paid for my service right?" Red asked annoyed but barely looked up from her tablet that Paloma made with the Irk sign on the back of it, " Right?"
" Yes, Red. Geez, what do you buy with your money anyway?" [M/N] asked as he sips his milk, " None of your business, Child." Red hissed, her eyes peeked from the tablet, they were blazing pink. That was her anger color instead of red. She goes back to the tablet, " Yes Red." Paloma says as she fixed her dark blonde hair and fixed the new dress she wore, and adjusted the white lab coat with her fake doctor name. Paloma North. " I got to go, don't stay out too late! Ta-Ta!" The mother Irken left and shut the door behind her.
" Hurry up, You're gonna be late." Red says as she kept watching the tablet, [M/N] nods as he finished the food and washed the plate and cup, thanks to his human genes, water didn't affect him as much as it affected his mother. " The bus will be here in two minutes, get out." Red says as [M/N] grabbed his bag and exited out the home, shutting the door and walked down the stairs as the Bus came a stop in front of his house.
" GET IN!" The driver shouts as the doors open, [M/N] walks in to the bus smelling everything nasty known to men. Perfume, B-O, orange juice and liver. " SIT DOWN!" The driver demanded loudly as the bus drove forward and out [M/N]'s neighborhood, the hybrid walked ahead on the bus as people kept yelling or throwing things across everyone. His [E/C] eyes glanced around for a seat until a hand was shaking in front of his face.
" Heyyyyy, [M/N]." A very familar paranormal investgator in trainning greets loudly making the hybrid wince a bit, " Heh, sorry. You looked lost, come on." [M/N] sits into the seat beside Dib, " Anyway, so lat night, you felt that earthquake right? Gaz said I was crazy and stupid." Dib rolled his hazel eyes.
" There was one?" [M/N] questioned, he felt nothing but a shooting star did enter the atmosphere last night but left out of the scanners range. " There was a shooting star last night though." Dib's eyes lit up like chirstmas lights, " Really?? Gah, i miss the good things, I was lookign for bigfeet last night." DIb explains with a huff, " Did you wish for anything?"
" Nope. I forgot to, the shooting star was just amazing and I forgot to wish for something." [M/N] explains sheepishly as he fixed his hair a bit, pushing some locks back. " Oops. Did you study for the doom test though?" Dib began to talk about how long he studyed which the pair kept talking about until they reached their Hi Skool classroom, Ms.Bitters. Dib was ahead of [M/N]'s seat, both by the window. Many teens entered the room and to their assigned seats, all talking about how cool their weekend was or how lame the test was gonna be.
Soon, noises of crawling was heard and everyone quickly quiet down when Ms.Bitters entered the room and behind her desk, she still looked the same as she did five years ago, old, withered and scary as hell. " Shut up, all of you." She started first, " Instead of the doom test, and thanks to over crowding, we are gonna add another student."
[M/N] perked up at the thought of another student, not because he liked it but there was this strange twitching going on with his very well hidden Antenna's. They never happened like this before, it began to psych him out a bit. They were vibrating and twitching making him want to tug them to a stop. They never acted like this before which made him freak out a bit.
" Enter." Ms.Bitter says as the door opens with a loud creak making [M/N] looked over, and he wanted to scream in distressed. It was another Irken in a poorly disguised human costume, it made him want to slam his face into the desk because of how poor it was. His green skin stoke out the most but the also slightly larger eyes that were covered with human like eyes that were a shade of purple which made him even stood out more but he also had no nose or ears. People were gonna find out about the whole Irken species because of him. " Class, Meet the latest appendage." Bitters introduced as the new student entered and stopped in front of her desk.
"His name is Zim. Zim, if you have something to say, say it NOW. Because from this moment on." She cranes her neck to get closer to the new students face, " I don't want to hear another sound from you!" She hissed, before reverting her neck back.
[M/N] watched as Zim played with his hands nervously, " Hello friends, I am a perfectly normal worm-baby. You have nothing, absolutely nothing to worry about." They didn't pay attention to him minus [M/N] who was having a freaking heart attack over this while Dib was going wide-eye, proof of a alien lifeform. " Just pay no attention to me and we will get along just fine." Zim says adding a grin that made [M/N] shudder.
" Take your seat now, Zim." Ms.Bitters says as Zim took the seat nearest the door. " Now, we are going to talk about outer space and how it will eventually imploded on itself and destroy all of us!" Before she could explain this, Zim stood up with both arms raised, " Yes Zim?" she asked, pressing on the Z like a snake would.
" In an event of a full scale alien invasion, how prepared do you think this planet's defensive will be?" Zim asked, " Tell Zim." He adds menacing while rubbing his gloved hands together.
" Are you seeing this?" Dib whispered and glanced over his shoulder to [M/N] who looked kinda pale, " [M/N]?"
" Uh, yeah, weird," [M/N] quickly says, making a mental note to tell Red to investigate the new comer, he was gonna destroy earth, or the Irk armada was gonna take over it for their own selfish ways.
" Doom, doom, doom, doom.." Both boys pay attention seeing Ms.bitters was muttering about doom again which was the usual thing in the class. Dib moved a bit to see Zim more making [M/N] shake his head, he was gonna rant to the class about Zim.
" Okay, am I the only one that sees the alien in class?" Dib questioned loudly as students looked around and each other, their eyes speaking to each other, like a type of telepathy. " THERE! RIGHT THERE!" Dib points to Zim making the green-skinned boy sweat a bit.
" That is no kids, it's an alien! An alien!" Dib exclaims, " he's one of the monster's I've been talking about! He's here to conquer earth!" [M/N] sighs, the approach could've been simpler then saying to the whole class there was an alien, technically two. His eyes traveled to Zim only to see him freak out internally but saw a self-destruction button on his arm making his [E/C] eyes widen.
" Dib.." [M/n] tries to warn but Zita beats him to it, " Ah, not this again, you're crazy Dib." Zita states rudely as the button disappears into Zim's glove making a relief sigh escape him.
" What! Look at him, what about his horrible green head!" Dib pointed out, " That's it school boy! Its a skin condition." Zim replies sweetly as he folds his hands on the desk, trying to be normal. " And he got's no ears either!" He leans forwards towards the girl next to his desk and gestures his ears.
" Is that part of your skin condition? No ears?" Dib asked boldly, Zim looked at the human before muttering a sad, " Yes." Students turn to look Dib like he did something wrong, all had narrow eyes.
" Geez Dib, just because someone looks different, you can call them an alien?" A student says, which was ironic since almost all of them treat Dib like he's the alien in this damn Hi skool. " I guess old kid is an alien too, huh?" One gesture towards the back where a 65 year old kid looking guy was, nah he was some type of freak that aged backwards like Button Benjamin.
" [M/N], take control of your boyfriend, he can't go around freaking out on every new person in skool." Jessica says as she blew a bubble from her pink gum.
" He's not my boyfriend."
" I'm not his boyfriend."
" Yeah, just be quiet with your supernatural jumbo." Another student pitched in, " Yeah, I remember that time where he-" Zim was cut off by Dib, he was trying to blend in if it wasn't too obvious. " Hey! See, he's trying to blend in and lie to all of you! I know what I'm talking about, he's sitting right there!" Dib says as he gestures to Zim.
" Well.. he does look pretty weird."
" Yeah, he is sitting." [M/N] looked down, he was sitting too, how was that abnormal?
" See!? Actual proof that I'm actually right, finally, I can prove that I'm...that I'm.."
" That I'm crazy." Zim mocks making the students laugh as Dib's face falls a bit, [M/N] sighs as he looked at the two, they seem to be locked in eye contact as the bell rings.
" Let's go." [M/N] yanks Dib's arm and Pulled them out the classroom. " You believe me right, I mean, you've been looking at supernatural stuff as much as I have.. so you gotta believe me right?" Dib asked making the hybrid roll his [E/C] eyes, of course he has to. Dib was his friend and cared for him greatly, " Yeah, sure. I mean, green skin? What are we, morons?" [M/N] jokes as Dib let a chuckle out too.
" Right."
The bell rings at the end of Spanish class where they watched a cartoon in Spanish before exiting the building. It was the usual, kids walking out the door and some jumping out the window, humans.
" Zim." Dib says as he pushed the two doors open for both him and his friend, [M/N] watched bemused as Dib confronted Zim. " Maybe your cruddy little disguise fooled everyone else but I can see the truth."
" No one will believe you but your boy-friend-pig." Zim gestures to [M/N] who looked offended, only because he was called pig too. He turns to leave but Dib slide down the railing and in front of Zim, " Oh yeah? I'll show them without your disguise on." Zim looked startled by the thought as Dib brought out handcuffs, alien capturing ones that [M/N] hated.
" Ooh, their pretty, what do they do?"
" They make sure, aliens like you never leave within these cuffs. Now come here!" Dib leaps at Zim but the other dodged and began to run away, Dib chasing after him.
" I'm..just gonna go home.." [M/N] says as he adjusted his book bag and walked to the bus and headed home. He had lots of questions and needed answers, his mother told him that the Irken's were existent now and that's why she was living on earth, orders form her tallest, Miyuki and some dolt named Spork. His mother was never fawned on Spork. But this new student, Zim was definitely Irken from the green skin and no features. He needed Red to go search for base and report back.
Once inside, he locked the door and slams It shut, he could smell pizza cooking in the oven thanks to his mothers orders from early ago.
" Red! I have work for you!" [M/N] shouted as he walked forwards and drop his book bag on the couch. He hears footsteps and sees Red coming up from the basement with her tablet. " I have a job for you."
" Ugh, what now?" She asked with a huff, she placed her tablet on the glass table and arms crossed. She was 3 feet and 4 inches with a red bow on her little antenna matching her red eyes. " Spill it."
" First, I thought Irken's were extinct and I need you to scout out the home of the side Irken." [M/N] says, " Well, is Irken's extinct?"
" Only the smart ones." Red answers as she watched him, she would never lie to him on purpose, " Your mother and sadly, yourself are the smartest Irken's alive." She says as she pressed her tummy and it lit up pink before she shifted to the households pet; a skunk. " I'll be back." She hissed before leaving out the doggy door.
" Hey!"
ZIM'S BASE/HOUSEHOLD
" Gir! Pick your mess this instant!" Zim orders as he finished his call with the almighty tallest. Gir had thrown around his mud and piggy's that made the living room a mess. " Gir!"
" Look masta!" Gir suddenly says as he held something in his hands and it was squirming. " I made a friend with this cat!" The said cat hissed loudly, it was black and had a white stripe going down its back to the tip of it's tail, it had a pink color too. " It's happy!"
" Gir, that is not a cat-worm." Zim sighs as he takes a closer look, eyeing the animal. " It seems to have some sort of writing on it's neck." Zim eyes the golden pendent on the pink collar. " Hm, perhaps it would be a better creature if I mixed it's DNA with a deer. HA! What a great idea!"
" Noooo!" Gir cries as the animal is taken away from him, Zim held the skunk by itself tail making it hissed. " Quiet! This creature will serve Zim we-" Zim is cut off by the sound of something being sprayed and cries out in pain as he tries to rub his magenta eyes from the gas. " IT BURNS! THE PAIN, THE ZIM IS IN PAIN!" Zim exclaims as he ran around in circles, the animal had attacked him!
The skunk hissed as it jumps through the open window, they totally deserved it because they touched her tail. But she gotten enough of what she was ordered to do. She heard the call from the tallest, took some data and left after spaying the Irken with tear gas.
She needed to report this to Paloma.
