As Jake headed for First period, he passed the gym, where they were doing football training. I wish I could skip Gym today. I hate exercising, he thought. He glanced over at the bleachers. In horrible condition. Just like human politics, he thought as he smirked at his own joke. In fact, just about everything on this planet is in horrible conditions. He sighed and made his way to Math, his first period.
--------------------------------------------------
Somehow, he made it past the lunchroom without the jocks noticing him. Just like humans. Not even smart enough to notice their imminent destruction. He decided to tell the Tallest that superweaponry would not be required to waste on the lowly lifeforms. Their politics were easy to manipulate, so were their economy, next is their pure being, he thought.
--------------------------------------------------
Being the only being in the room smart enough to acknowlege the questions being asked, Jake was pounding the ruthless human who ran the subject "Math". He answered every question swiftly and correctly without mistake. The teacher was starting to realize her defeat, so she pressed harder. "What is the quantity of 65.7 divided by 5.12?" she asked with persistence. "42.9, but that is only if the quantity can be multiplied, as I figured so." Jake shot back. Some of the students started to acknowlege Jake's un-ability to be defeaten by the teacher, so when he answered the next question, some of them shared a small "Wow". Question after question, he didn't break under her questions or the meanicing glare meant to break your spirit. When she began to faulter in her persistence of asking questions, Jake took the advantage to its fullest. "Why must you stop asking questions, teacher? I love to learn." He said, as he flashed her a smile that really meant "I have defeated you. Back down now before I crush you". She simply glared at him, then she said "I have lesson planning I have to attend to. You must all do bookwork until I return". She left the room, and when she did, all hell broke loose. It didn't matter if they made a lot of noise because the walls were soundproof, becoming that way when the Government actually had money to spend. Ahh, he thought. This is the life. Defeating humans through their own stupidity. He leaned back in his chair, not caring for the noise caused by the wildness of the other students.

The next morning Zim was in the base appear-ifying tacos. Jess walked in and raised an eyebrow at the large pile of the horrible grease-laden earth substance. She looked at Zim.
"What's with you and tacos?" She asked him
"You don't even like beans!" Jess said disgustedly
"Yes I know," Zim said, taking off his goggles
"But these tacos are for SCIENCE!" His shook a gloved fist towards the heavens, then sat down again to resume his studies. Jess shrugged and sat down next to Zim, who was contently doing something with a microscope.
"Do you remember the bologna accident?" He asked her, without looking up from the eyepiece.
"Yes, purple."

Jess stared up at the night sky and let out a deep breath. Of all planets, we got Earth... She turned towards Zim and gave him a little poke.
"Wake up," she told him "You're going to miss the comets." Zim begrudgingly opened his eyes and put his arms behind his neck. Jess smiled wide as the asteroids stretched across the sky, falling onto cars and rooftops. Zim glanced at Jess, and then smiled himself.
"You know," he said to her "Earthlings have a custom of wishing on stars."
"Yeah, but all my wishes have already come true" She smiled towards Zim.
Zim blushed and looked back up at the sky.
"I wish Dib would turn into a taco."
Jess was confused, but happy;
Because she loved her derpy boyfriend.
