SIM: Ok, so this is sort of a side chapter for Safe House/ So Much For Retirement in honor of Shihira's birthday. It's got nothing to do with the plot of the sequel or really anything else…
Ayaka: SIM owns nothing
SIM: Thank you… enjoy!

Shihira awoke to sun streaming in through her pink curtains. She groaned and put her pink pillow over her head to block out the sun while cuddling her Nny and Zim plushies closer. She had just snuggled in to go back to sleep when a she heard a knock on her door.
"What?" She asked sleepily.
"It's me. Can I come in?" Datenshi called from the other side. Shihira sat up immediately, smoothing her hair back.
"Go ahead." She called back. Datenshi pushed the door open and stepped into the pink room with a smile. He was carrying a tray of waffles, bacon, and eggs with a cup of orange juice and a daffodil in a small vase of water.
"Morning sleeping beauty. I just thought I'd bring you breakfast in bed today." He said, setting the tray on her lap and giving her a kiss.
"Awwww, that's so sweet! What's the occasion?" she asked with a smile.
"You honestly don't remember?" Datenshi asked, sitting down next to her on her bed.
"Should I?" Shihira asked, cocking her head to the side in confusion.
"Uhh… yeah actually. Look at the calendar." He replied pointing at her Invader Zim calendar. The date, February 9th, was circled half a dozen times in bright red marker, "It is your birthday." A smile cracked across Shihira's face and she squealed.
"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot!" Datenshi simply chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Just one thing I like about you. You can be so ditsy. It's cute." She giggled and kissed him again, "Now, I'm going to leave you to get dressed. When you're done, come downstairs. We've got the whole day planned out for you." He said getting up and leaving the room.
What did I do to deserve a guy like him? She thought to herself as she finished her breakfast and rushed to her closet to pick out the perfect outfit.
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
Shihira came down the stairs dressed in a black and pink plaid skirt that had safety pins and buckles all over it, a pink, black, and white corset, and black combat boots with pink laces. Her hair was up in a messy bun and the daffodil Datenshi brought her that morning was twisted into it. She was wearing black eyeliner, mascara, pink eye shadow, and pink lipstick. She danced her way into the kitchen and sat down at the island counter.
"Morning chica! Feliz cumpleanos!" Ami exclaimed with a smile giving her a one armed hug as she sat down next to her.
"You look beautiful." Datenshi whispered to her from her other side. Ami gave her a knowing look and went over to the fridge.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" Shihira asked.
"Well, first Keiko, Yukina, Ami and Hikari are going to pamper you while the boys get the party set up. I'm making the food for the party tonight and Shizuru, and Genkai are watching the little ones." Aya said while stirring something that smelled really good on the stove. Shihira squealed and Ami giggled at her.
"Ok, come on! Let's go!" Ami said, motioning her upstairs. Shihira ran past her upstairs.
"Well she's excited." Aya mumbled, checking the cake in the oven.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"So how are things going with you and Datenshi?" Ami asked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"Absolutely, positively, wonderful!" Shihira exclaimed dreamily.
"Good for you. We told you you wouldn't be alone forever." Hikari replied wit ha smile.
"So what do you think? Bubblegum pink… or French tip?" Ami asked, holding up two things of nail polish.
"How about we do black and pink? It would match her outfit today."
"Good idea!"
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
-That Night, Around 5:00-
"So what's next?" Shihira questioned excitedly.
"Well we were thinking that, in honor of your birthday, we would do some karaoke since you like it so much." Aya replied with a smile.
"YAAAY!!!!"
"So here's how we're going to do this. Everyone's name is on a slip of paper in this hat. I'm going to pull a name and whoever it is gets to sing. Everyone has to sing." Aya explained. "Genkai and Koenma will be the judges and whoever wins gets a prize."
"Ok." Everyone replied, some more excited than others.
"First up is… Ami!" Aya exclaimed. She walked up to the machine and picked her song.

Everyone in the room applauded and she took a bow.
"Very nice song choice Ami. I'm sure you got Hideki very excited." Aya commented. Everyone giggled, "So next up is… Yusuke!" Yusuke reluctantly went up and picked a song.
Circling your,
circling your, circling your head, (Fuck!) Conclusions manifest, your first
impressions got to be your very best (Fuck!) I know, I know all about,

Yusuke stepped off stage with a goofy grin. Everyone clapped, holding in giggles at the truth of the song. Yusuke took a bow.
"Wow Yusuke, could that song be any more relevant?" Aya giggled, stepping back up on stage to pick the next person, "Next is Botan!"
She stepped up on stage, nearly bouncing with excitement and picked her song.
We got a bucket of
Corona, Here's to the liars and the cheaters and the cold
mistreaters; Blind dates an'
horror stories; Here's to the liars and the cheaters and
the cold mistreaters; Julie, I know

"Amen!" Every girl in the room shouted and lifted their glasses as Botan took a bow.
"Nice job Botan. Next up is Kurama!" Aya exclaimed. He got up and picked a song. As the music started he winked at his wife playfully.
Well you rolled out
of bed and stubbed your toe Well that's another side of you Yeah that mini van is a far cry Well that's another side of you When you lay down in my arms If I had to do the things you do Well that's another side of you
And I heard you almost cuss
And I
fought back the urge to laugh
just listen to you fuss
then
you overdid the coffee
couldn't get your hair just right
when
I smiled and said good morning
you looked mad enough to fight
That I'm in a love with
too
from the sports car
in your dreams
and that dead end job
is pushin back vacation
more it seems
you got soccer at 4:30
And ballet class by 5:00
Then I call you talkin' flirty
You ask have I lost my mind
That I'm in love with
too
let go of all that stress
whisper honey I love you
with your head on my chest
when
the world's strongest woman is my lady
when the day is through
Well that's another side of you
that I'm in love with too
Well I'd just lose my
mind
somehow you get em fed and bathed
and settled down by
nine
and I hear you down the hallway
as you lay em down to
sleep
and they pray the good lord watches over them and you and
me
that I'm in love with
too
well that's another side of you
that I'm in love with too
Kurama finished and took a bow while everyone gave him a round of applause. Aya walked up on stage and gave him a kiss before turning and grinning like mad at the others. "Next up is Kuwabara." She said and then walked back over to her table to sit in Kurama's lap.
Kuwabara rolled his eyes and picked a song.
Give it to me baby.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. You know it's kind of hard So don't debate, a
player straight Give it
to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. He needs some cool
tunes So don't debate, a player straight Now he's getting a tattoo. Give
it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So don't debate, a player
straight
Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Give it to
me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
And all the girlies say I'm pretty
fly
For a white guy.
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco,
seis.
Just to get along
today.
Our subject isn't cool,
But he fakes it anyway.
He
may not have a clue;
And he may not have style.
But everything
he lacks
Well he makes up in denial.
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's
gonna play the field, and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no
way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate.
At least you'll
know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs
wannabe's.
So (Hey! Hey!) do that brand new thing.
Give it to me baby. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
And all the girlies
say I'm pretty fly
For a white guy.
Not just any will suffice.
But they didn't have Ice
Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice.
Now cruising in his Pinto,
He
sees homies as he pass.
But if he looks twice
They're gonna
kick his lily ass.
You
know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's gonna play the field,
and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no way.
So if you
don't rate, just overcompensate.
At least you'll know you can
always go on Ricki Lake.
The world loves wannabe's.
So (Hey!
Hey!) do that brand new thing
Yeah
he's gettin' ink done.
He asked for a '13',
But they drew a
'31'.
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite
hip.
But in his own mind
He's the, he's the dopest trip.
Give it to me baby. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Give it to me baby. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Uno, dos, tres,
cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis.
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
He's gonna
play the field, and keep it real.
For you no way, for you no
way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate.
At least you'll
know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs
wannabe's.
Oh the world loves wannabe's.
So let's get some more
wannabe's.
And (Hey! Hey!) do that brand new thing.
By the time Kuwabara finished, everyone was laughing hysterically. He smirked and took a bow. Everyone applauded him.
"Nice Kuwabara," Aya said, giving him a high five and wiping a tear from her eye, "Next up is Hikari."
Hikari smirked and walked over to choose her song.
I don't give
a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new
generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What
I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation
Oh no not me
An' I don't
give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my
station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I
don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my
bad reputation
Oh no, not
me
Oh no, not me
I don't give
a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any
deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I
ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad
reputation
Oh no, not
me
Oh no, not me
Pedal boys!
An' I don't
give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's
no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It
never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad
reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
I don't give
a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past

When I got no pain
An'
that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad
reputation
Oh no, not
me
Oh no, not
Not me, not me
Everyone clapped and Ami, Aya, and Shihira slapped Hikari high fives as she walked by.
"Next up is Keiko." Aya sighed, still giggling. Keiko got up and went to the stage.
Like
a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky Like an ocean liner shouldn't
float on the sea Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
The way that we dance, the reason we dream Nothin' bout love is less than confusing Like
the lights of Las Vegas glowing out on the sand
Ice shouldn't burn
or a bumblebee fly
If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?
Oh
nothin' bout love makes sense.
A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas
Someone so perfect can't be falling for me.
Oh nothin' bout
love makes sense.
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I
can't figure it out.
Nothin' bout love can make an equation
nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't
know how.
That
big Italian tower, well how does it lean?
Something so strong
shouldn't make me this weak
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
You can win when
you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out.
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how.
A jumbo shrimp or
a baby grand
How you're touching my heart when you're holding my
hand
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love
makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense
No no no, oh it
don't make sense
Everyone applauded and Keiko curtseyed with a giggle and skipped back to her spot next to Yusuke.
"Great song Keiko. Next up is Shizuru." Aya said. Shizuru put out her cigarette and went up on stage.
Got
my headlights shining The radio's playing I think I might like 'Cause someday maybe See I left
another But I think that maybe I
think I might like I
ain't gonna sleep
Down an old dirt road
Smoke my
cigarettes
I should quit I know
Old
country songs
Someone's leaving, someone's cheating
On and
on
The quiet nights
Of this empty
life
Somebody will love me like I
need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will
see
All my worth but until then
I'll do just fine on my
own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
Good man tonight
I wonder if he'll miss me
Lord
knows I tried
The thing that I did
wrong
Was put up with his bullshit
For far too long
The quiet nights
Of this empty life
I ain't gonna dream
About the things that I
used to need
I ain't gonna cry
Or go on living lies
I'm just
gonna drive
Everybody clapped and Shizuru bowed before going back to her seat and lighting another cigarette.
"I love that song! Nice choice Shizuru. Next up is Hiei!" Aya exclaimed. Hiei got up and picked a song. (Hikari bribed him -winks-)
I miss the
sand on the concrete floor I can't
get away from you And where the ocean meets the land I can't get away from you Deliver
me, shut me up Through the airport corridors I can't get away from you The jeep gets broke on a
blown out road and I'm a tourist with a real light load And there's postcards written And the travelers return
I miss the way it was before
no
one even knew me
your eyes looked right through me
And I'm
taking off your clothes
And you bloom like a rose
Is
like the sliding of your hand
Prickles up my skin
And I can
feel the changing weather
While alone along that coast
Sense
memories of your ghost
Deliver me
Give into me, Release
Deliver
me, deliver me
In magazines
in stores
If I see your face once more
Cause you know I can't
ignore it
I recognize that pose
When you bloomed like a rose
Will
the government hold another month away, missed our places where we
always stay
Funny how we always pick these spots
Feeling like
a have in the land of have nots, sleeping on cots
Wishing that I
had some tater-tots
I
know I'll never send
The moment is gone and won't come again
I ride with souls who find no peace
Still I look to you to
find release
Through the panic
doors
Walking through the airport corridors
Welcome back now
from the foreign shores
And I walk alone
And the ghost that I
carry is your
Tiger shark is azure blue
I hope the vision you
had returns to you
"Yay! Go Third Eye Blind!" Aya exclaimed.
"I didn't know you listened to them…" Hikari said. Hiei just shrugged and walked back to his seat.
"So next up is Hideki!" Aya called out. Hideki got up and picked his song.
Well
I'll never forget the first time that I heard Well that's
just like last year on my birthday I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for
me When she's
layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
That pretty mouth
say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed
my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And
she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was
mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that
She lost all track of time and
burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin'
off
And she was just about the cry until I took her in my arms
And
I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments
like that
And I thank God that she isn't 'cause how boring would that
be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in
plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin'
hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
And about the time
she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it
'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an
angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little
moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't
Yeah I
live for little moments like that
Hideki took a bow and went back to his seat. Ami was sitting right next to him with tears in her eyes. He gave her a kiss and sat back down.
"Awwww. That was cute. Next up is Yukina!" Aya announced. Yukina timidly got up and picked a song.
Somethin' in
your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself If you
knew how lonely my life has been It feels like home to me,
it feels like home to me A window
breaks, down a long, dark street Well, if you knew
how much this moment means to me It feels like home to me,
it feels like home to me
Makes me wanna lose myself,
in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat
fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
And how long I've been so
alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And
change my life the way you've done
It feels like I'm all the way back where
I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It
feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
And a siren wails in the
night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can
almost see, through the dark there is light
And how long I've waited for your
touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never
thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like I'm all the way the back
where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to
me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels
like I'm all the way back where I belong
Yukina curtseyed and went back to her seat next to Kuwabara who gave her a one armed hug, making her giggle.
"That was great Yukina. You were terrific. Next up is Datenshi!" Aya said. Datenshi got up and picked his song.
She said, "I've
got to be honest, "You've got wits, All wrong I'll
be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier, This
is easy as lovers go. I said, "I've got to be honest, "You've got wits, Tonight I'll
be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier, This
is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating. This is easy as lovers go. So don't
complicate it by hesitating. This is
easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
You're wasting your time if you're fishin'
around here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
I'm
not foolin', this feelin' is real."
She said, "You've
gotta be crazy!
What do you take me for? Some kinda of easy
mark?"
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But I swear that you've got me all
wrong."
All wrong
But you've got me
I'll be yours my
dear
And I'll belong to you
If you just let me through
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This
is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made,
What's the
sense in waiting?
I've
been waiting for you all of my life."
For so long I thought I
was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And
being with you here makes me sane.
I fear I'll go crazy if you
leave my side.
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me
tonight?"
Tonight
You've got me
I'll be yours my
dear
I'll belong to you
If you just let me through
This
is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made, what's the
sense in waiting?
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made, what's the sense in waiting?
This is
wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made, what's the sense
in waiting?
Datenshi finished and took a bow while everybody applauded. He went back to his seat next to Shihira and was immediately tackle-kissed by his squealing girlfriend.
"Awww. You guys are so cute together!" Aya cooed from the stage. "Anyways, I'm next… Oh joy and rapture…" She sighed and walked over to pick her song.
Can't you
see? No need to
wonder why 'Cause
I wanted to fly, There's a
will You're in my heart 'Cause I wanted to
fly, When I was alone 'Cause I wanted
to fly,
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're
the only one that leaves me completely breathless
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny
so you gave me your wings
And time held its
breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This
is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding,
fighting
You make me restless
The
only light that shines
there in the dark
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I
could see, yeah
And you set me free
You
came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And
there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I
could see, yeah
And you set me free
She finished and everybody clapped.
"Thanks. So that leaves you Shihira. Go crazy." Aya stated.
"Yay!!!" She exclaimed, jumping up and skipping over to the machine. She picked her song and got ready.
Turn her over Curse me sold her Watch me fault her Called her over Hex
me told her Watch me fault
her I lay quiet Scold me failed her Watch me lose her Watch me fault her
A
candle is lit, I see through her
Blow it out and save all her
ashes for me
The poison that runs it's
course through her
Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over
all over
You're living like a
disaster
She said kill me faster
with strawberry gashes all
over
and asked her if she was improving
She
said "feels fine" it's wonderful wonderful here
I dreamt of a devil that knew her
Pale white skin
with strawberry gashes all over all over
You're living like a disaster
She said kill me faster
with
strawberry gashes all over
waiting for her
voice to say
"Some things you lose and some things you just
give away"
If only I'd held on
tighter to her
Pale white skin that twisted and withered away from
me away from me
It's almost like losing
myself
Give her my soul
and let them take somebody else get
away from me
You're living like a
disaster
She said kill me faster
with strawberry gashes all
over all over me
Everybody applauded and shouted various 'Happy Birthday's to her.
"So what now?" Shihira asked as she stepped off-stage.
"Now we open presents." Hikari said.
-An Hour Later, About 8:00-
Shihira got a Marilyn Manson T-shirt, a Jack Skelington T-shirt, a JtHM T-shirt, an I-tunes gift card, a Hot Topic gift card, various beauty products and clothes, and a necklace with a pentacle pendant that was studded with jade. They were now sitting around the table eating the cake Aya had baked.
"Jeez Aya, this is the best damn cake I think I've ever had." Yusuke exclaimed as he scarfed down another piece.
"I'm glad you like it." Aya replied with a giggle.
"So what next?" Shihira asked. Ami, Aya, and Hikari shared an evil look before turning back to Shihira.
"We play games." They said in unison.
-Hours Later, About 1:00-
"Okay, if I play one more game of DDR I am going to pass out." Ami exclaimed, sitting down on the couch.
"So we played Truth or Dare, Would You Rather, I've Never, which I'm still a bit tipsy from, ERS, Mafia, and DDR and had a karaoke party. Is there anything we missed?" Hikari asked, trying to catch her breath.
"Hmm… WE SHOULD WATCH A MOVIE!!!" Shihira exclaimed, still as hyper as ever. Everybody face faulted.
"Okay, what do you want to watch?" Aya asked from her place on the floor.
"Hmmm…" Shihira pondered as she cocked her head to the side and placed a finger on her chin. "Let's watch Alien!" The whole group groaned on the inside but smiled and nodded. Aya went up to make popcorn while Ami popped the VHS into the VCR. Shihira was bouncing with excitement and Datenshi just shook his head with a smile.
-2 Hours Later, 3:00 AM-
"Ok, I think it's bedtime." Keiko said as she stretched. Yukina was already asleep on Kuwabara's shoulder and Botan looked like she was going to pass out any minute.
"That's probably a good idea. Goodnight everybody." Aya said as she and Kurama went back to their room. Everyone else said goodnight and went to their rooms. Datenshi, being the gentleman he is, walked Shihira to her room.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." He said when the got to her room.
"Will you stay?" Shihira asked. "Just for tonight, since it's my birthday." Datenshi seemed to deliberate for a second but eventually nodded.
"I guess that'd be alright." He replied and Shihira smiled widely.
So after Shihira and Datenshi changed into their PJs, they both climbed under Shihira's pink comforter, wrapped up in each other's arms.
"I love you you know." Datenshi said quietly. Shihira had to stifle a gasp. She always knew he did, but he'd never actually told her so out loud. She lifted her head to look at his face with a smile.
"What?" he asked.
"You've never said that before." She replied.
"Really?" She nodded. "Sorry."
"It's ok, I always knew you did. But, it's nice to hear you say it."
"I love you." She grinned and kissed him full on the lips.
"I love you too." She said, laying her head back down on his chest.
"Did you have fun today?" he asked.
"M-hmm. The most fun I've had in ages. Especially when you sang. And I love your present." She said, pointing to her necklace.
"I hoped you would."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being here. For loving me." She yawned.
"You're very welcome, but it's my pleasure. You should get some sleep though. You're exhausted." He said, kissing the top of her head. "Goodnight love."
"Goodnight Datenshi."

SIM: Awwwww. That was all fluffy and stuff. I love it! Mostly this came out of the fact that it's Shihira's birthday but also because Shihira and Datenshi haven't actually been in the sequel much so if I didn't give them some fluff they were going to go on strike.
Shihira: Thank you! You rock!
