Enjoy. You all deserve a great Christmas and I hope you get what you want.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!**
Disclaimer: I do not own Jhonen Vasquez or anything to do with Invader Zim. I only wish I did. Also Mar, and his character still belong to my imagination and craziness. Unless of course Jhonen owns that as well which I'm pretty sure he doesn't.
A day at the hospital.
Tenn sat on the bed reading while she was waiting. The sheets were all white, as was the pillows and the cold metal frame. The smell of disinfectant lingered in the air and the half closed blind waved slightly from the breeze that was coming through the window that was opened slightly ajar. Beside her on the nightstand was a jug of juice, a big box of Ritz snack crackers and a small solar powered radio. Tenn looked up hopefully from her book as she heard footsteps coming down the ward but they just as quickly passed. She sighed and looked at the ceiling, she hated being alone, Tak and Mar were coming to se her but they hadn't arrived yet. Tenn was on the recovery ward in a large solitary room to the side. Tenn sighed, tired of waiting, she quietly went back to reading. She had long since turnt the TV off because nothing was on. The doctor hadn't given her a set time so Irk only knows what time he would get round to seeing her. Tenn was in to have the stitches taken out. The four weeks took forever to pass and now Tenn would have a further three weeks of physiotherapy and 'taking it easy'. Needless to say she wasn't looking forward to it.
Tenn once again heard footsteps coming down the hallway, more this time, about two or three pairs. Her antennae rose as she heard what sounded like the faint sound of 'in here' but it wasn't clear through the walls. The horrible white walls Tenn had grown to hate since being in and out of hospital for check-up's every now and then. Tenn quickly glanced over to the door handle as she heard it rattle as someone started to open it. It moved downwards and the door started to open, then a familiar face peeked round the door.
Large deep purple eyes and a happy smile were plastered on the girls face, her antennae gladly upright.
"You wont believe how bad the traffic is out there." Tak walked into the room followed by Mar and Tenn was instantly happy. Company at last. Tenn nodded her head over to the window.
Tak walked over to Tenn and hugged her, and when she finished she stood up and helped herself to a cracker.
"Don't ask then."
"Ok I won't." Tak sat on the side of the bed and Mar sat in the chair round the other side by the window. Tak looked at Tenn whilst munching on the stolen cracker.
"What book ya been reading then?"
"It's about a doctor. He waits til his female patients leave hospital and then he stalks them and murders them. He does it because he knows their, weaknesses. It's really creepy and well written. Wanna read a bit?"
"Errr that's lovely Tenn. Absolutely peachy but I think Ill take a pass. I'm not too hot on reading anyways." Tak just looked at her friend. Tenn always did like horror and thriller books and movies. Mar looked over to Tenn with a strange look on his face.
"How can you read that when you've been in hospital so much lately? Doesn't it creep you out?"
"No not really. Apparently there's going to be a movie of it coming out next year."
"Wonderful." Tak decided changing the subject would be a good idea.
"When are the stitches coming out? Can we stay while they do it?" Tak looked over to Tenn who was confused at the question.
"Umm, I guess so. I'll ask Dr Xerox when he finally comes. I swear he's keeping me waiting for no reason. Like he's in his office drinking coffee and eating a slice of cake." Then the door opened and Dr Xerox walked in. He was fairly tall, nowhere near being a tallest, but not as far away as some Irkens were.
"Do I hear my patient complaining?"
"No I wasn't complaining Tak was!" Tenn pointed at Tak and smiled an innocent smile.
"I was not! She tells lies." Tak pouted like a child and folded her arms in front of her chest.
"Now, now Tenn. You shouldn't lie, especially to me about me, after all I can make this more painful if you upset me."
"But you wouldn't hurt me. You wouldn't dare."
"And why's that Tenn?"
"Because I'm too cute to hurt."
"HA!" Tak shouted and smiled as Tenn just glared at her, then looked at the doctor.
"Can Tak and Mar stay when you do it. They're here to keep me company for the day?" Tenn looked at Dr Xerox with a look on her face that says pleeease.
"Ok but only if you promise to stay out of my way and let me concentrate."
Tak and Mar nodded and moved to the right side of the bed so they wouldn't be in Dr Xerox's way.
After about fifteen minutes all Tenn's stitches were out and she was getting ready to see her physiotherapist. As Tak and Mar walked down the hallways Tenn limped slowly but closely behind still not wanting to use her crutches.
In the physiotherapist's waiting room they all sat waiting (duh). Then a tall-ish female walked out. Her antennae were very long and curled perfectly; she had lovely magenta eyes and long fluffy looking eyelashes. She walked over to the three of them.
"Oh hi there! You must be Tenn are these your friends?"
"Yeah."
"Oh that's lovely. Now my names Aquilla and I'll be helping you walk properly and get your strength back up again. I heard what happened, that was nasty. But with my help you'll be better in no time. So if you would all just follow me that would be fantastic." Aquilla started to walk off with a happy skip in her step.
"Great lil miss perky for three weeks. I can't wait." Tenn said making sure Aquilla couldn't hear her.
"Aww come on at least she aint moody or a sadist." Tak said looking to her friend.
"Yeah and she's hot." Tak shot Mar a deathly glare at his words and spun her head around again with a 'humph' and walked of. Tenn turnt partially round to talk to Mar.
"Girls aren't really my thing but you can stare at her all you want if you want Tak to hurt you."
"Yeah. I better avoid doing that. Best not make her mad." Mar smiled and held the door as Tenn walked past.
"Thank you." Mar nodded and followed and shut the door behind him.
Inside the room were various pieces of equipment. Monitoring machines attached to all the electrical ones like the treadmill. There were also benches and horizontal poles.
"No we will work from the bottom of course and build your strength up. We will start with just getting you walking and building your muscle strength back up. Then we will start getting you to run and other simple but not so easy things. Now today is just a little induction tomorrow you will be coming in for your first session. Here I've made a little session timetable for you so you don't miss a single slot. It's free standing and everything!" Aquilla handed Tenn a small piece of folded cardboard and shot her a big goofy smile.
"All you do is unfold it and Ta Da! It stands on your desk or cabinet or wherever you choose to put it. Isn't it great?"
"Absolutely fabulous." Tenn said in a more then bored tone as she took the timetable from Aquilla. Aquilla then started leading them to the door.
"So that's all for today so I guess I'll see you tomorrow and with that timetable there's no reason not to come. I trust you will be there?"
"Yes Aquilla. I'll be there." Tenn said as she rushed out towards the door when suddenly Aquilla put a hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
"Yore going to have to stop rushing around like that for a while young lady. You'll do more harm then good you know." Aquilla waved an accusing at Tenn as she lifted her hand of Tenn's shoulder.
"Oh sorry. I'll try not to." Tenn sheepishly smiled and walked out of the door
"Ok great I'll see you tomorrow bye bye honey." Aquilla smiled as they all walked out of the main doors.
As they all walked out into the hallway Tenn looked over to Tak and Mar and sighed.
"That perky little...Argh she called me honey. How dare she!" Tak and Mar just smiled as they continued walking.
** I wrote this on Christmas Eve and I'm really perky just like Aquilla. Im feeling rather insane and I'm pretty sure I won't be getting any sleep at all tonight. Oh well.
I hate hospitals. So white, lonely and disinfectant smelling. Nasty smelling stuff. Unlike opening the Christmas tin of Celebrations. Now that's a nice smell.
Mmmmmmmm Galaxy Truffles.
MINE! THEYRE ALL MINE YOU CANT HAVE ANY! GO AWAY!
Actually don't. Stay; keep reading as I post new chapters. Read, enjoy and have a great Christmas.**
Enjoy. You all deserve a great Christmas and I hope you get what you want.
