As Zar goes down the elevator to her room she takes out her notebook and her communication device. She reads the name and takes a large and heavy sigh. The elevator stops and she walks out of it, placing the small box on a dresser and pressed a small cyan button.

"Hello Sirs, what do you need of me?" She said with coldness.

"Well we just wanted to check up on you, and if Zim is trying anything, but mostly you!" All Mighty Red says.

"So how has things been? Zim isn't planning anything to like teleport us again, right?" All Mighty Purple says with food in his mouth causing some of it to fall onto the floor.

Zar looks at both of them trying to hold the disgusted face creeping onto her face. "Yes Tallest, everything is alright. Nothing to worry about, he isn't of a threat nor is he planning anything so elaborate as teleporting a whole ship."

"Good, good. That very good to hear." Red sighs, "you don't know how happy we are to hear those good news." He smiles lazily.

"Ya I bet you two would be happy after getting rid of two of your own people" she whispered quietly.

"What was that Air?" Purple yells out.

"It's Zar Sir!" She takes a deep breath. "Is that all that you need of me? Because if so I would like to go..."

"One more thing, we want you to report to us once a week. You are to gather information about Zim and this planet and report it to us." Red speaks

"But Sir isn't that what Zim does already? Wouldn't it be repetitive if I were to say the same things as him?"

"Eh, Zim only tells us about the things that happened in the town he stays at, nothing more really." Red proclaimed.

"Ya and we want to know more about this Urth. I mean that is why we sent you there, right Investigator Zar?" A smile creeps upon Purple's face.

Her eyes where sparkling stars flashing until she remembered what she heard months ago. She wished she could believe that they honestly cared about her research, but she knew they didn't. The spark in her eyes soon faded until sadness creeped upon her face.

"Yes sir, I'll do everything I can to learn about this planet... and I'll keep a close eye on Zim to make sure he stays out of trouble-"

"Jumping jellybeans!" The door behind the Tallest opened with a rush "My Tallest you have so much paperwork to do, AND so many problems that need to be solved in such little time!" An exhausted looking Alien rushed to The Tallest with books and paper works. "Please tell me you have a plan?!"

"Oh we do."

"Thank heavens, so what's the plan?"

"Make you do all the work." Red snaps his fingers and points at the girl.

"Ya, you should do the work for us. We're too tired and we've been busy ALL day today. Just give us a few, hmmmmm, days." Purple pitches in.

"My Tallest that's what you been saying for the past few years! I can't continue to do all the work for you two! I'm not a Tallest yet! I'm merely a apprentice and-"

"Exactly, you're an apprentice. You must learn how to do all of this by the time you do become a Tallest like us. We had to do this same thing, right Red?" He says cheekily

"Right" Red says with slyness

"But-!"

"Jackie, do you really want to fight about this?! Over something so small as paperwork?! Look I'm sure it's not THAT complicated. Now go away, as you can see we are on call with someone." He moves his hand in to direction of Zar.

"Hey Jackie..." She waves at her.

"Hump" Jackie makes a quick turn and walks away "I'll do your work for you this time my Tallest but please do the next bunch when I come back." She walks through a door .

"Sorry about that Air-"

"Zar..."

"Right. Anyways we'll let you go and let you get straight to work. See you soon." Red waves and the call ends.

Zar sighs and jumps face first on her bed which moves up and down like water until it lays flat. She rolls over to face the ceiling and just stares at it. Jackie seemed mad to her and she wondered what mad her so upset, maybe Beio pulled another prank on her, or maybe she just woke up on the wrong side of the bed? She didn't feel like sleeping but knew she had nothing better to do. So she closed her eyes and started to dream.

_________________

She was sitting alone eating her lunch like normal, she was at peace. She had tried to talk to the other invaders of her classroom but none of them really agreed with her idea of making peace with other alien races. They would whisper to each other thinking she couldn't hear when in fact she could hear the horrible things they would say about her which all boiled down to her being the weird one out of the classroom. She never really minded though, she just thought they needed more time to get use of her ideas. Then she heard someone clear their throat.

"Excuse me, is this sit taken?" The stranger said.

"Oh no, of course not! Sit down and eat!" Zar smiles and continues to eat.

The strange man stares at her while eating which starts to weirded her out.

"Do you need something?" She asks

"Oh! I was just trying to figure out where I've seen you before. You look very familiar to me..." he waves his hand to dismiss his weird action and continues to stare at her.

It's been a few minutes and Zar finished her sandwich and was about to leave when a snapping noise caught her attention. She turns around and sees that the Stranger was the cause as he snapped his fingers together.

"I know now! Your that Irken that everyone talks about and how you have the dumbest idea for our time!"

Zar looks defeated as her mouth makes a vee shape. "Oh is that what they are saying now?" She hears loud laughing.

"Ya! Haha so when I heard these rumors I just had to know what this 'crazy' idea was! So spell the goods." He puts both hands under his chin to tell her he was listening.

"Oh, um, well, um..."

"What? Gergen got your tongue?" He chuckles.

She looks stern at him. "My idea is to make peace with most, if not all, other alien races so that we could stop fighting all the time and instead make a better universe!" She says this rather loudly causing the man to look at her with a blank stare. She started to Panic until the man once again starts to laugh.

"Pfff hahaha!" Zar looks disappointed and starts to walk off but the man grabs her hand and spins her around. "What a great idea! I'm getting tried of watching those two idiots we call leaders blast everything in slight! Even, besides, if all this war stuff stops happening then that means more relaxing for me, count me as your first ally!" He holds he hand out for Zar to shake.

She shakes her happily. "My name is Zar, what's yours?"

"I'm Beio, and it's a pleasure to meet you Zar."

Everything starts to blur as she sees her and her first friend smile at each other. And she finally wakes up from her dream.
