Roz awoke in her bed to the ugly sunshine of the morning. It disgusts her so. So much so, in fact, that she shut the blinds so hard they fell to the floor.

She looked at her pig Dum, who sat at the foot of her bed with their favorite toy. That toy being a dead rat carcass. Dum rolled over and with their audible color, spoke a few words of non sensible English.

"You're my favorite pizza mouse."

Roz turned back to the bright window.

"Stupid, giant, bright star ball! Why do you have to be so obnoxiously annoying?"

Roz arose from her bed and strolled towards her mirror. In it she could see her human skin, human face, human hair, and human eyes.

"If I make myself look nice for skool, the Mary alien will be intimidated by my amazing presence."

Roz took out her backpack and hair tie. As she did, her parent called her down the stairs for breakfast. Roz responded in a disgruntled tone.

In the odd electrical alien house next door-in a large basement room surounded by wires and moniters-stood a smaller, larger headed, squeaky green irken. And Irken named Mary.

Mary figgited excitedly at the biggest moniter, which displayed a much taller Irken. The two looked almost exactly alike.

"But my Tallest! You need to!"

"We've had this conversation a dozen times before scientist Mary. The armada is not going down to Earth to take care of one-"

"But my tallest! She is aware of my Irken origin. She is a threat to the entire empire and has ruined every one of my research projects! She ruined my night-crawlies report i was going to show you." Mary whined. "I worked so hard on it."

"Mary."

"She attacks me at every move! Just the other day that ugly human girl siezed her mutant pig at me! It poisened me. And then it infiltrated my garage."

"Mary."

"It used the shock bomb belt sander..."

"Mary! Taking out someone because they're a minor threat is a waste of time. Your better of ignoring it and going about your day."

The tallest sighed and proceeded to type in something on a holographic keypad next to him. A portal opened next to Mary. Out of it jumped a tiny blue hued tablet.

The tallest sounded exasperated. "Take that to relieve the poison. Its chewable, so it's easy to take. It also tastes like blue rasberry."

The irken girl sighed. Her upset expression caused guilt within the tallest.

He spoke up. "Listen Mary, this human will go away if you ignore it. Pretend she isn't even there. Nothing bad will happen. I promise. Besides, its oly a matter of time before she dies anyway. From my knowledge they dont live that long."

The disheartened alien let out a sigh."Alright my tallest."

"Alright."

"Scientist Mary...signing off."

Mary shut the moniter and took the flavored medicine tablet. A blue and fluffy snarlbeast crawled up next to her and rubbed itself on her leg. She picked it up.

"I'll show my tallest that that Roz is a danger to the empire. And once I get a hold of her and throw her in the chronic tubes I'll be able to continue my reasearch and ill be showered with praise that i captured the biggest threat to the empire yet." The little green girl looked down at the purring pet in her tallons. "The Tallest will be so proud of me. Its only a matter of time..." She looked up in stern determination. "But I must get right to work! That time must be short! To the lab!"
