56. Irken Love Glow

(Hey everyone!! So sorry for the delays on this story. To be honest with you guys, I've been in a bit of a slump and forgot about this story for a while. I may be a little rusty.

But hopefully I will be back on track with this story for the foreseeable future! Thank you guys for being so patient with me! I seriously appreciate how long you have been waiting and I am so sorry for making you wait for so long.

Hopefully this chapter was worth waiting for.)

It became almost necessary to do this. After everything and the way things had gone, I felt I deserved a much needed trip to go shopping and let my problems melt away, even if only for a moment.

I was donning my Irken disguise, Red and Purple having gone off in their own disguises to have a "conversation" according to red. The translation ended up being "We're going to a cafe and we MIGHT talk about stuff"

Only time would tell whether they would actually have a meaningful chat. But that was something I wanted to avoid thinking about, for now, on top of all the other stressful and crazy situations we are dealing with.

I'm not here for the stress today. I'm here for the supplies and the chance to do something grounding, like retail therapy.

I started off in what appeared to be a supermarket, filled with all sorts of supplies for all sorts of species. There were even aisles marked for individual species. Unfortunatley, "human" was not among them but there was an aisle dedicated to universal necessities, which did contain some human resources.

Pulling out my translator, I read up on some of the items. A lot of the products seemed to be pretty straightforward, whilst others I had no clue on the purpose of. But that was to be expected in a universe so vast. I looked along a line of different kinds of hair products, body maintenence supplies, large containers of water, different tooth care products, some of which looked more like dentistry tools than a simple flossing kit.

The species requirement chamber offered me everything I could ever want or need. But with it gone, I now had to buy new supplies. My old toothbrush could do with a replacement, and water will be necessary for the rest of the journey. I should probably get a steady supply of all necessities, considering I have no idea when our next pit stop will be.

But also....how am I supposed to know which of these necessities is safe for human consumption or use!?!?!

I ran my hand down my face in exhaustion. This was supposed to be a stress free activity...

I must've spent around 10 minutes just staring and flipping between products, completely unsure on what to do.

"Don't worry, Love pig!" I heard a shrill voice fade into focus, sounding awfully familiar as the volume steadily increased.

I turned my head in the direction of the source, my eyes landing on a familiar Irken wearing a pink tunic along with a dark purple jacket. He was small, grasping a little communication device as he spoke into it, a fond look in his eyes.

"I'll get all your weird little human things! Just keep Gir from eating the garbage until I get back."

He finished his call, placing the device into his pocket and turning to look along the aisle.

"Zim?" I spoke, catching the small irkens attention immediatley.

He looked alarmed, as if fight or flight was about to kick in. I did not want him making a scene.

None stressful activity was still in my grasp. I just had to diffuse the panic that Zim was apparently feeling.

"Stand back, Irken!" He commanded, scowling at me, looking ready to defend if I were to strike.
