Bary looks confused for a minute "from what I understand, you're going to be the next tallest, so what does it matter if your a defect?""You don't understand, it's not that I won't be a Tallest, it's the fact that I know I'm not perfect anymore....a Tallest that needs to sleep?! Why must it be such a useless defeat?! What if I'm sleeping and we end up getting attacked?!" Jackie's voice starts to rise the more she speaks and tears are starting to from.
Beio walked into the ship with way more bags than needed with food all in them. He starts to whistle as he walks to the room the other two girls are in when he sees Jackie having a pity party and crying her eyes out.
"Uhh what happened? I was only gone for 6 minutes?!" Beio's antennas lowers seeing her cry.
Out of no where Jackie runs over to Beio and tightly grabs his crop jacket and looked pissed at him, "You knew didn't you?!" She yelled loudly.
"Knew what?? Right now all I know is that you are blaming me for something without me even knowing what the ark is going on!!" Beio spat back grabbing her hands and pulling her off of him.
"You knew we were defects didn't you?!"
"What-? Obviously I knew Jackie, it's pretty arken obvious! Did you really not know that that you weren't?? Why do you think me and Zar tried becoming your friends?! We saw that you were different, just like us! We saw that you didn't like all this war stuff, and you just looked exhausted every time you were on stage with the Tallest!" Beio said trying to get his distance away from her while at the same time trying to calm her down.
"So you took pity on me?! That why you became my friend?! Because you thought I was weak?!" Jackie's spider legs cams out of her pak and one goes to hit Beio.
Beio quickly dodges by ducking "Jackie that's not what I mean and you know that! You are the strongest Irken I know, but your letting your anger get to you, what was even the point of attacking me?!"
"How are you not affected by the fact that we are different from all the other Irkens?! How can you deal with being a defect?" She sits down with her knees up to her chin while Bary rubs her back not really knowing what else to do and looks over to Beio as he sighs.
"Look Jackie it isn't always easy, but you can't really change how our paks made us. Even besides, it's not like you or I have a bad condition, we could've ended up like Zim!" He laughs a bit.
Jackie joins in a little, "ya, he is a weirdo. I wonder if he was always so bad." She wonders out loud.
"Ya I hate to break y'all little emotional understanding, but we've been in this parking lot for over an hour now, can we get a move on?" Bary says as she jumps down from the bed and walks to the front passenger seat.
Beio goes to walk out the room but then Jackie grabbed his hand and he turns around.
"I...I...I um..." she is standing and looking down, "I'm sorry for how I acted...I had no right to get angry at you when you're dealing with the same situation as me..."
He smiles and takes her hand into his, "it's ok Jackie, I know that you like to do everything perfectly. But you have to understand that if you try to be perfect at everything you do, your going to end up setting yourself up for failure."
"...did I ever tell you that you are my best friend?" Jackie looks at him.
"Pfff I'm your only friend!"
"I'm being serious!" She gives a small smile.
"No you never told me that, but I very much appreciate that you are starting to see I'm your friend not your enemy." He pats her hands, drops them, and start walking to the main area.
She continues to smile as she sits on her bed. She looks up at the bed that was once Beio's that now belongs to Bary. She couldn't help but to think of what her adventures could uphold just trying to get to Urth, to go and see Zar- her face starts to heat up a little but she shakes it off. She decided to lay her whole body onto the bed for the first time, and she was extremely comfortable! She starts to doze off, slowly closing her eyes...then she heard a loud ringing coming from under her pillow. She jumps up and scrambles to answer the call, and she trips while pressing the answer button. So when Zar's picture ends up popping out, the first thing she saw was Jackie falling.
"Oh my!" zar giggles, "who would have guessed you of all irkens would be falling for me, Jackie!"
A light shade of blue spreads across her face as she starts to get up, "please, I'm not that easy to woo!" she brushes herself off and looks a bit surprised at the Irken on call with her.
Zar is usually all bright and sunny, with all the excitement when on call with her and Beio. Running on and on about how she was able to either make a new friend, or discovered something that interested her, or even just talk about a new plan to "save the whole Irken race from war". But today wasn't the case, Zar was messy all around and her clothes looked wrinkled and she didn't look put together, and if you looked close enough, you could see she had bags underneath her eyes. And when Jackie looked behind Zar for a brisk second, she could see her was a mess and there were papers everywhere.
"Uhhhhh, Zar? You doing ok? You look a bit...overworked there." Jackie said slowly and cautiously.
Zar took a minutes I probably what she said and then looked surprised, "oh! Uh- ya I'm fine hehe...it's just that uh...skool has been keeping me busy lately..." she looked a bit unsure in her response before turning back to normal. "So, why are you in a ship?" She looks behind her, "and with Beio to boot apparently!"
"Oh! We decided to make this a surprise, but I guess there isn't really any point in keeping this from you any longer, we are coming to see you on Urth! It'll take us about another 2 weeks to get to you! And, we'll be staying for two months! Isn't that great!" Jackie had a big smile on her face and was expected Zar to do the same, but she never did, she didn't even smile. She just looked, alarmed. "Zar...? Are...are you sure you're ok?"
Zar snapped out of it and put a real big smile on her face, "I'm super happy to know you two are coming to visit! It's just that I don't know how to tell Zim that there will be more Irkens in his house, I don't think he'll take it too kindly, not to mention the computer that controls the house hehe" she gave a awkward laugh.
"Well he doesn't really need to worry about making more room because this ship can turn into a house just like his, even besides I've heard all his calls with the Tallest and he isn't even at his house half the time! All he does is fight some human called Dib! How pathetic really-"
"He Isn't pathetic!" Zar growled before catching herself and calming down with a sigh. "He may seem weaker then most of the other Irkens, but he is extremely smart in robotic things... and is very skilled in close to come combat when need be... he just a bit more spontaneous then the rest of us." She starts looking up just above the screen before opening her eye in a bright realization. "I got to go Jackie! Call me back when you are about 2 days away from Urth!"
"What-? Hey, wait-!" Jackie looked surprised and puts her hand in front of her to try and get the other's attention, but was met with a red screen before she could even say good bye. This wasn't how Zar would normally act...it's like she started to do a project that was sucking the life out of her. Maybe it's just like she said, school is just making her extremely tried lately? She wasn't really all too sure why, but she had a feeling like something isn't right anymore, had the tallest been right after all?
(Words: 1459, also happy late Halloween! I had been busy with school lately so sorry that I wasn't able to post something on Halloween! Also I did draw the art above before you read the story!)
