Parenthood [INVADER ZIM]

Chapter 7 [2]

The ballroom was quiet large, and it showed since it was currently being housed by 600 and more scientist and their guest. The walls were a pale cream color that matched the tile . There yellow decorations and yellow, white and black balloons were pinned to the walls and little ones that were set in the middle of many tables. The tables were covered with white table covers and there were three long tables near the wall and away from the dancing area, filled with so many desserts and drinks.

[M/N] eyes sparkled as he looked around, looking at everything and the happy music that was playing. Some couples were dancing at the dance floor and others were talking. Everything was so different from all the party events that had on Irk or on the massive. Everyone wasn't guarded, nobody was dancing so awkwardly and there was no mess made by two dumb tallest leaders.

" Here you go." [M/N] perked up when he heard Mateo walk to him, the Irken looked and slowly takes the glass with some bubbly liquids in it. " Thank you."

" Not a problem, you were so happy with the inside, I decided to get us some refreshments." Mateo said as he held up his glass, the glass was very cold within [M/N]'s grasp and a sweet aroma came from it. The Irken sniffs it and licked his lips, " What is it?"

" I think the card on the table said Demi-sec. I heard it's pretty sweet." Mateo said as he slowly pulled sips his drinks, he looked back to [M/N] only to watch in surprise as the other drinks the champagne in one gulp. [M/N] pulled his glass away from his lips and licked them. " So you like sweet things."

[M/N] licked his lips and his eyes glancing at the scientist, " Huh? Oh!" [M/N] laughs shyly, maybe ashamed that he just drank it all without a care in the world. Was he disgusting?  " Yes I do. I simply adore all sweets. I have a huge sweet tooth." [M/N] grins at the professor, blame it on the human sweet tooth. " What is the event for again?" [M/N] asked, he watched Mateo sip his own drink. Though it seemed hard because he managed to sip it through the tall white cowl.

" Ah! This is a event to disguise future projects for my company, some to be little side projects and others to be something more into the future then my big reveal and idea." Mateo explained, " We will then discuss it later in the years to see if it would work out in the next few months before officially deciding what we will do as the main project."

" I see." They needed to discuss more on the matter before choosing something willy-nilly, something Purple and Red did often. " What is your idea for the big project?"

" I'm glad you asked!" Mateo seemed to perk to life as he grabbed another drink off a tray when someone working at the party walked passed them and hands it to [M/N] who drinks it happily but in small sips, " You see, the earth is running out of natural sources that can provide us humans with energy. And without it, how are we going to live off into the future? I want to make energy that lives on forever but through natural sources. Even when the sun blows out in a billion years, and the earth is moving to mars, I still want to create something clean. Without draining more of the earth and soon to be home on mars." [M/N] listened intently before smiling, " Oh, that seems... a bit far-fetched.."
