It was a long, boring ride. Space did not have much to offer for the eyes to see, just the sad, empty void occasionally broken up by a planet or by the dim speckles of distant stars. Tak kept her focus on the flight, choosing to ignore Zim. Of course, Zim never really seemed to notice or care. If he had something to say, he would say it. He would say it loudly and repeatedly. I was not long before Mimi and G.I.R. started fighting in the back seat like children.

"... - --- .--. / .. - -.-.-- / ... - --- .--. -.-.-- / --.. .. -- / -- .- -.- . / .... .. -- / ... - --- .--. -.-.--" Mimi, no longer in her cat disguise, swiped her large claw hand at the other robot and his toaster.

"SHE'S TOUCHING MEEEE! AAAAHHH" G.I.R. shrieked.

Zim turned to yell at them, but whatever he tried to say was drowned out by their shouts. He turned back to Tak, who stared dead ahead, blocking it all out, a task that she was well-practiced at. "Tak, maybe we should stop and take a break..."

He got no response. She continued to ignore him. Zim sighed and sat back down; he glanced at the console. They were still several hours away from their destination.

"Taaaaaaak" he whined. 

She barely glanced in his direction, but that small movement was enough to egg him on. 

"Can't we get snaaaacks or something?"

Tak still did not give him a response. She glared at him and jerked the ship to the side.

G.I.R. fell over, landing on Mimi, who attempted to scratch his eyes out of their sockets. Zim turned around. "Hey! Call off your S.I.R.!!"

"Mimi! Let him go." Tak commanded as she set the ship down for a perfect landing on a nearby dawrf planet. Mimi paused and glared. "- .- -.- .-.-.-"

Tak narrowed her eyes. "Excuse me?"  Mimi sat down obediantly, though her eyes still held challenge to Tak. "Zim. Get out of the ship and take your damned broken-ass S.I.R. and find some snacks or whatever it is you were whining about!"

Zim slowly reached for G.I.R. and got out of the ship, backing away slowly. 

Tak turned around sharply to face Mimi. The robot looked up at her innocently. "You better stop that now." Tak was furious, her teeth were gritted. 

".. / .... .- ...- . / -. --- / .. -.. . .- / .-- .... .- - / -.-- --- ..- / .- .-. . / - .- .-.. -.- .. -. --. / .- -... --- ..- - .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- - .- -.- -.-.--" 

Tak's fists tightened with rage. "Stop it. Now. Mimi."

".-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- -.-- . ... --..-- / -- .- ... - . .-. .-.-.-"

Tak turned back around and sank down in her seat, feeling a headache coming on.
