Alright, peoples. This is just a note. After a few reviews, I see
that you want to know how this relates to Zim. As strange as it may, it
really hardly does. It's based on two Irkens living on Irk. There may be
reference to Zim and possibly others, but really, this is based more on two
away-from-the-show Irkens. Zim may somehow be wrapped into this but I'll
have to think about it.

Free for the Day
Sun streamed in the in the window as she pulled the curtains open. She turned around to see if Nihon had awoken, but even with the sun on his face he slept soundly. She giggled quietly and covered her mouth, slowly and silently approaching Nihon's bedside.
She stopped next to his head and quietly, carefully, put her hands over his eyes. "Guess who." She whispered.
Nihon, startled by the sudden warmth of her hands, reached up and felt her wrists. He smiled happily, running his hands over her arms, "Anata." He answered her, smiling as he pulled her hands away from his eyes.
Anata smiled down upon him, the warm sunlight bathing her body in golden radiance. "'Told you I'd come." She said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I believed you." He answered quietly, yet happily. He was tired, she could tell by the look on his face. She couldn't blame him, the night passed had been quite exciting.
She brushed one of his ragtag antennae out of his face, "You sound better today."
"I feel it!" He answered, stretching his arms, "It's always nice to be able to use my arms again!"
Anata stood again, walking around to the other side of the bed-nearer the door, "I signed you out for the day. We can go do somethin' fun!"
"Really?!" Nihon sat up quickly, staring at her with both pleading eyes and an excited expression, "Can we?"
"Of course!" Anata hugged him happily now that he was sitting up, laughing with joy, "We'll have a lot of fun today!" She drew back, smiling, "We can go see a movie and take a nice ride in my Vootrunner. Sound good?"
"Great!" Nihon answered with a grin. Anata laughed and pulled the sheets off him, throwing them to the end of the bed.
"Get dressed, Nihon." She told him, as she gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. "I'll be waiting in the hallway." With that she turned her back, and exited the room.
Nihon yawned tiredly, and slid out of bed. He had on a long white shirt that he usually slept in, and he looked rather messy. Quickly, so not to keep Anata waiting, he brushed his antennae back and straitened them.
After getting dressed and straitened, he walked over to his bed again. There on his bed stand was his candle-still burning brightly. Without thought, he reached over the fire with his hand. The flames licked his skin and stretched upward between his fingertips. A soft smile crossed his face as the fire brought no pain. Quickly, he closed his hand around the flame and extinguished it. "I love magic." He whispered to himself, and pulled on his gloves.

Anata staring in the mirror in the hallway. She looked rather good, she believed. But looks were never taken very seriously by Anata. She straitened her dress and turned to Nihon as he pulled open the door to his room. "Lock the door behind you, Nihon." She commanded, tossing him a set of keys.
Nihon caught them with ease and shut his door, locking it. "Can we go, now?" He asked excitedly, shoving the keys into the pocket of his pants.
Anata smirked, "Give ME the keys, and then we can." Nihon grumbled, reaching back into his pocket and pulling out the keys. He looked them over, then tossed them back to her. "Good boy." She answered as she caught them, "NOW, we can go. C'mon."

Nihon peered around the lobby of the hospital like a curious puppy. No matter how many times he looked around the room, it always fascinated him. It was a normal room, nothing special. Just, something about it intrigued him. Some said it was the dome at the ceiling, some-the pictures on the walls. But Anata believed it was the color. Lavender, one of Nihon's favorites, because it was her eye color.
After speaking with the woman at the main desk and signing Nihon out, she called to him and the two headed for the main exit.
"Where can we go first?" Nihon asked, still curiously looking around the room.
"Where ever you want, Ni," She replied--using his nickname, "It's you day!" She pulled open the doors at the exit and let him go first.
Once outside, Nihon smiled even wider. The wind blew against his face making his antennae swing back behind his head. It was good to be out of the hospital, very good.
"Would you like to see a movie now, Nihon?" Anata asked, stepping up beside her companion.
"Sure." He answered, dazed from the wondrous feeling of being outside.
"Alright! Lets get going, then." She took his hand, smiling warmly and led him away from the hospital.
The Irken movie theater wasn't far. Not far at all. Once the two got there, Nihon chose a movie and they bought tickets. Both enjoyed the movie, Anata with her head on Nihon's shoulder, and Nihon with his arm around her. They were a strange couple, but they were still sweet. And Nihon was happy. So, happy.
He was free, for the day.
Oh, I'm not done yet. There's more torture to come, keep tuned in.
