I do not own Invader Zim. I do not own Irkens; I do not own Tak and Tenn. Mar however is my fan character so he is mine.
In his office
Tak and Mar sat in General Balniks office patiently. Tak was tightly gripping Mar's hand as some sort of comfort and security. The seconds slowly ticked away as they waited. The room was moderately sized with greyish painted walls like the rest of the school; the desk was placed in the middle with a large padded office chair tucked neatly. Tak and Mar were seated on two smaller office chairs at the other side of the desk. The large windows gave a wide view of the nearby city in all its glory. To the left of the desk was a large bookshelf with a full stock of books onboard and to the right side of the desk were a row of black four door filing cabinets. On the wall hung pictures, one of which looked to be General Balniks final class at military school when he was their age. The other two were paintings. One was the armada gracefully drifting through space with the stars looking like intergalactic fireflies and the other was of two Irkens passionately kissing under a tree at sunset.
Tak and Mar looked round as they heard the doorknob rattle as it opened and General Balniks walked in. They both stood up and saluted him while they waited for the gesture to sit down. General Balniks strode over to his desk and carefully pulled the chair out and sat down, he then nodded and they retook their seats.
"Good morning Trainee Tak, trainee Mar. I called you here because I have received Tak's results from the clinic. It appears that these nightmares are having a concerning affect on Tak. You have indeed become very unfocused and solitary and we have seen this in your work. As you will probably guess I have spoken to the exam board and you previous teachers and we have finally reached a decision." Tak looked at Mar then back to General Balniks, she once again took hold of Mar's hand and gripped it tightly.
"Continue sir." Tak quietly spoke. She wasn't sure if she wanted to hear whatever he was going to say. She had her exams in exactly one week's time, what if they didn't offer any help? Now was the time she would find out.
"After examining all your previous grades and getting references for what you are like we have decided that you will still have to take the exam." Tak's heart sank at his words. She knew she was too unfocused to do exams. Her life seemed to have instantly been ripped apart at the seams. Her world had been shattered in a split second and left to drift into a dark, lonely, unwelcoming void. General Balniks then took a deep breath and sat up straight showing his full height. Tak now wondered what was going on. Could it be? Or was this all a dream? Would she wake up or was she awake? She didn't know anymore.
"However. We have decided that although you will sit the exam will not fully take your results into consideration." Tak sighed a deep sigh of relief, now she hoped she wasn't dreaming, wait he was still speaking. "We have noticed that you, Tenn and Zee have always had extremely good grades and attainment. Because of this we will compare their results with your work to find out the questions you would have most likely gotten right. Because of this you will have the grades and be able to go onto the Invader Academy in a years time. You will have to retake the exams at a later date to get accurate results, but this will see you through until then." A huge smile crossed Tak's face as a few tears of happiness welled up in her eyes. In a split second Tak jumped onto her feet and ran round to the other side of the desk. When she was there she stopped and flung her arms around General Balniks and gave him a big ole hug. Tak must have been happy because she had never hugged an adult before. General Balniks hugged back and smiled over at Mar, Mar smiled back.
"Thank you General Balniks. I wont forget this." Tak's happy tears slowly and gracefully slid down her cheeks as she let go of General Balniks and gave him a happy, but still proud and honourable salute. He saluted and placed an arm on her shoulder.
"Now you two have fun. Dismissed." With that he handed over a small blue pass to Tak. She stared long and hard at it for a while then at General Balniks with an utterly bemused expression.
"I'm giving you two the day of. Go on. Go have some fun, relax, unwind, and treat yourselves. Just don't stay here." Tak and Mar gleefully smiled, saluted then ran out the door.
"These kids sure are lively nowadays." General Balniks said to himself as he opened his draw and got out a glass and a bottle, with that he poured himself a small glass of whiskey.
Tak and Mar were stopped in the hallway by a hall monitor on their way out. They looked at each other and smiled. Tak got out the small blue pass General Balniks had given them with their names on it.
"Do you have a hall pass?"
"Yeah, wanna see?" With that Tak raised the pass and practically shoved it in the hall monitors face. He pushed the pass back and read it then stepped aside.
"Ok, go on then."
"With pleasure." Tak looked at Mar and smiled happily as her and Mar entwined fingers and held each others hands and walked to the exit.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Tak and Mar quietly walked along the wind blew swiftly, lightly tickling their antennae with every gentle blow. The two suns of Irk were out shining in all their golden glory and the turquoise sky had the occasional cloud floating around. The temperature was just right and the riihos sang out their peaceful song as they glided majestically through the sky. They finally reached the park. Not many people were there because of the time of day it was, but that just made things all the more perfect.
"Well here we are. Place looks beautiful today." Tak gazed at the surrounding area and took deep relaxing breaths of the cool and crisp air.
"Not as beautiful as you." Mar quietly spoke as he swept Tak of her feet and scooped her into his arms and started carrying her to the top of the large hill. When they were finally there Tak got out a large violet blanket and laid it perfectly on the ground underneath the large tree above, blooming with pretty orange blossoms and pink soft fruits. The tree rustled soothingly in the breeze, as it brushed passed. Tak and Mar sat down and looked out over the city below. The city looked absolutely breathtaking. The suns' amber rays shone down over the tall and small buildings alike, creating some sort of a mysterious and lovely aura. You could see the cars and busses going about their usual business, driving round and getting stuck at traffic lights, the sound of their horns screeching was only a far distant squeak from where they were sitting. In the sky you could see the planes soaring high above any cloud leaving a trail of orange as it went. Tak could spend all day up here, with or without Mar. It was so easy to just relax and unwind. You could get totally lost in the scenery and dream all your worries, peacefully away. Troubles were almost impossible to dwell on while sitting up here. You could just think and relax and let the world take you away, and that's just what Tak did. Tak quietly slid down so she was lying across Mar's lap and looked uo to the sky up above.
"Tak, Tak..." Mar gently pushed Tak so that she woke up. She stirred and then looked up at him whilst rubbing her freshly rested eyes. Felt so refreshed having being asleep, but for how long?
"Huh?" Tak mumbled as she still struggled to wake up properly.
"You fell asleep about...oh I don't know, say two hours ago!" Tak's eyes shot open at his words.
"You put up with me doing nothing for two hours? What on Irk for, weren't you bored?" Tak was confused, he looked so happy.
"I could never get bored of you. You're so cute to look at and you're so adorable when you're sleeping. Besides, for the first time in months, you actually looked happy and peaceful." Mar's eyes softened as he lovingly gazed at Tak who had now sat up and was facing him. Tak sat patiently and listened.
"Every time I've seen you sleeping you've been tossing and turning and covered in a could sweat. You'll be ranting in your sleep mixed up words spoken with fear and sadness. I don't know what to do when it happens, I try to wake you up but it never works. You get trapped temporarily in a nightmare and can't be woken until it's over. It scares me to see you like that. It worries me sick, so seeing you sleep so happily like that was like a vacation for me. I felt happy and I dunno, weird but nice. It was so perfect to just see you so relaxed." Tak stared at Mar taking in what he had just said. It was hard for her to understand, as she had never felt that way before but despite, she knew his feelings were true.
"I feel better for having some rest. Thank you for not waking me. I really needed that." Tak sat up so that she was level with Mar and kissed him on the lips for a brief moment.
"Thank you for being so understanding Mar. you don't know how much having someone like you means to me. Want to get a bite to eat?"
"I may not know but I'm still glad I can be there for you." They stood up and got off the blanket and Tak and Mar started to fold up the blanket before walking off down the hill into the rich warmth of Irks two glowing suns.
