(How's that? i love snow and it really can silence even the loudest of cities XD its weird.)
The snowflakes fell gently and silently around the two of them. None of the normal sounds of the city life could be heard threough the quieting blanket. Green fingers brushed the flakes off of blak hair as the frozen ice crystals collected on the girls head.
Taifu looked dreamily up towards the sky. She had been here in America with Zim for almost a week. And the dark gray clouds had finally succumbed to the heavy precipitation collecting within them. Zim smiled at her once more brushing the flakes off or her head, fighting a losing battle.
Zim rather enjoyed snow. It was water, just like rain. But unlike rain it was frozen and only bothered him if he let it collect and melt on his skin.
The two of them were enjoying the afternoon sitting on the front step to Zim's still bizarre glowing house.
Zim pulled Taifu closer as she shivered. "Want to go in?" He asked her knowing it was very cold outside and actually wanting to go in a little himself.
Taifu shook her head. "No, it's too beautiful to leave." She glanced at Zim and saw how blue his face was. She smiled. He would never admit to being uncomfortable around her. "Come on, let's take a break and get warmed up a little." She chuckled getting off of Zim's lap and standing up.
Zim grinned at her and opened the door wide for her to enter before he did.

"So Dib came by the other day while you were out with Gir." Zim said, touching her waist gently.
"Oh?"
"He says that my house is messier than he's ever seen it." he mused, sitting at the kitchen table, watching as she began to warm coffee for him, and hot coco for herself. She wasn't allowed to have coffee - she got to riled up. He glanced around his house.
It was true. His once spotless house was now... normal looking. No, it wasn't messy, and still quite tidy, but his obsessive scrubbing days had come to an end since Taifu had come home. He remembered her reaction to his house and funky lawn accesories, and the snowman someone had left for him in the front yard - the way her whole face lit up as she burst out laughing, clinging to him, her breath fogging against his neck.
He glanced at her now, and smilled, pinching the end of his antenna thoughtlessly. She was simply adorable, her small hands hidden in black mittens, a fuzzy brown eskimo jacket with fur around the hood cloaking her, a bit too large, black and red striped stockings that she isnisted on wearing despite the weather, and black comfy boots. She looked like a little eskimo, with her twinkling black eyes.
"Zim, do you want cream or not?"
"Huh?"
"Cream?"
"Oh... uh... yes." he said, and picked at his claws. She travelled over with two steaming cups, setting one before him, but before she could walk to her own seat, he pulled her down by the waist, bouncing her on his knee as he sipped his coffee, humming against her jacket. "Taifu...."
"Yeah?" she asked, bobbing up and down, her mittens lifting her hot chocolate to her mouth, blowing on it before sipping.
"We have a mall... would you like to go?" Truthfully, he detested the mall with every ounce of his being, but he knew human females adored them, and so brought it up. And if he could convince her to stay in the arcade, maybe he could even start Christmas shopping.
To his surprise, he had learned quickly that Taifu had never really done a big Christmas. He had thought it was completely global, but it turned out that in Japan, Christmas was overshadowed by New Years. She was mre used to watching parades of dragons and confeiti than the fuzziness of Christmas Americans indulged in.
So, as she sat bobbing on his lap in consideration, he planned on how to make it the best Christmas she would ever know.

(AWE XD)
Zim huffed as he buzzed like an overactive bee from store to store. He had convinced Taifu to stay at another store while he told her he had dropped something and h=needed to find it. Of course that mean that he had a very short amount of time with which to shop so he was going as fast as he could. Still occasionally eying those statues. Their eyes watched him as he flitted around.
They still remembered him from all those years ago. the thought made him shiver and he hoped that old security guard didn't still work here.
Zim was so preoccupied with shopping and watching out for the statues that he never noticed Dib standing in front of him on till he ran him over.

"Owe... Zim?" Dib asked, wincing, shoving the alien off of him. He adjusted his glasses, and squinted. "What are you doing here, I thought you hated the mall."
"I do." Zim muttered, rolling his eyes as he stood, brushing himself off, adjusting his wig. Americans had yet to figure out that he, in fact, was the mysterious alien who had been in the Japanese headlines a while back. Dib eyed the bags, and smirked.
"So you're-"
"Shh." Zim said, smacking his hand over Dib's mouth. He glanced around, and hissed "I left Taifu in the music and video store - the FYE one. Don't breathe a word to her."
"How are you going to get those past her?"
"I'll stick them in the back of the Voot before I go to collect her. She won't know a thing." he nodded, and Dib rose an eyebrow doubtfully, but didn't say anything.
Instead, he asked "So you left a Japanese kid in an American store?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Well... considering Taifu's English grade was never her strong point...."
"She'll be fine." Zim said, bending over a glass counter. His face became serious as his eyes scanned the jewelry slowly. "What do Earth girls like?"
"Depends on the girl. Why? What are you looking for?"
The Irken didn't say a word.

Meanwhile, at the video store, Taifu stammered in her poor English. "Mine disk." she said, pointing at the CD, "Many yen?"
"Uh...." the cashier droned, and Taifu wriggled impatiently.
"Disk - many yen? Can not to tell many in US dollar." she said, wishing desperately that she had studied harder in English.
"Sorry, kid, we don't take Japanese money." another clerk said. She looked down at the CD, frowning, and dug in her pockets for the money Zim gave her. She waved it around before them.
"I buy disk." she shoved it unto the counter, and the clerks glanced at one another. They had watched this girl run throug the store, pulling up CDs, taking them to the 'try-me' headphones, and dance to the music for nearly an hour. She waited patiently as they looked at her twenty dollar bill.
"You need four more."
"Four more?"
"Four."
"How get?"
"Excuse me?"
"How get?"
"Well...." the clerks glanced at on another. The other one smirked, and the grinned cheekily. "Okay, see that arcade over there?"
"What?"
"The game place?" She bobbed her head. "You go and play DDR, you know, the dancing game? Play DDR with the manager - the guy at the counter. If you can win him, we'll pay for your CD... er... disk." the clerk stumbled as she made confused faces, but the college students were both giddy. She was a cute girl lost in America, and they were two losers with bad acne and squeaky voices.
"No to leave store here. Friend said so."
"Don't worry, we'll tell him."
"He green." She said before running off eagerly toward the pumping music and blinding lights.

A while later Zim had finally finished with his shopping and had hidden all of his purchases in the voot cruiser. "Now to find Taifu." He nodded heading back to the music store. But Taifu wasn't there.
"Taifu?" He shouted looking around for her. He slowly but not slowly enough began to panic. 'It was the statues!' His mind shouted at him. 'They kidnapped Taifu they want revenge!' His thoughts were making him more and more panicked. He was shaking and shouting as loudly as he could rushing about the store. "TAIFU! TAIFU WHERE ARE YOU!"
The sound of screaming and whooping humans caught his attention. The noise was coming from the store right across fro the one he was in. He quickly rushed over. Perhaps Taifu had wondered in to the crowd.

He shoved through the crowd, pushing people over, searching desperately through it... but as he came to the front, he found he need look no further. His draw dropped.
"Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei. Chipul tau si dragostea din tei, Mi-amintesc de ochii tai."
She was singing as she danced, waving her tush about wildly behind her, elbows pointed back, palms in the air beside her face, jumping from the blinking squares, spinning. Her setting was on expert, and she was racking up points. Her voice was cute and perky, and she span on one foot, landing a hand on a blinking square, spinning herself to the next one, then jumping as two blinked on oppsite sides, a foot on either one, her shoulders up and down. The crowd screamed, drawing even more people. Her face was alight as she sang. And the person beside her was beginning to tire out.
"W-What-"
"Man, she's kicking ass, man!" someone beside him said.
"W-What is this?"
"The Numa Numa." the person replied. He pointed to the tiring man beside her. "I come here every Saturday to try to beat him - never do. He hasn't been beaten in twenty years. They're playing best out of five - she's won two already. Isn't it great!?"
"No!" Zim yelped, and pushed forward. Taifu noticed him, and waved, not missing a step, twisting. Suddenly, he yelped as she pulled him unto the platform, swirling him around. She released him, caught him by the hand, and swung him around, twirled about him, jumped, then sent him stumbling back into the crowd as she continued, her hand slapping the back of her foot as she drew it upward, then shot it down again, and repeated the action with the other, then clapped her hands to her back pockets. The crowd clapped his back, telling him how lucky he was, teasing him. He watched as she jumped back, then forth, then to the side, almost like in a jog, before sliding along the floor from one side to the other, tossing her head back, then jumped, landing with her knees on either side, head down, breathing heavily.
"Disk!" she demanded of the guy who had been talking to Zim. He gave her a CD in a bag, and she giggled, hugging it to her chest. The clerk of the arcade left, his title lost, as Taifu's name was saved into the system. Zim wanted to scold her, to point out that she smelled funny and was sweaty, that the sleeves of her tank top were drooping... but she looked so happy.
And then she inserted more quarters, pulling him up by the hand as a new song began, a fast-beat techno.
"My life Meant nothing to me Then a guy like you came along
Everything Is moving so fast I gotta get my feet on the ground"
Zim jerked back and forth with her, the crowd raving as they took up both pads. He felt dizzy, intoxicated as she came close to him, then pulled away, twirling him about, dancing around him, the smile on her face growing larger as he worked desperately to keep up. Sweat dripped down her skin, soaking him as well as she used him to twirl around. She sang over the crowd, apparently having memorized the song as her English on it was fine. She was dancing just as hard as before, if not harder, and forced him to as well, picking up for any slack he gave.
"Unhappy days are over 'cause I can Always be with you Lying in your arms day by day Makes me feel oh so brand new
Can't stop fallin' in love Tell me you will be true Forever baby I just can't stop dreaming Of you everyday Every way
Say you love me baby Say you will Always be mine You'll never break my heart
Can't stop fallin' in love Baby you became Makin' love with you is all I wanna do Wanna do
Can't stop fallin' in love Give your heart and soul Stay with me this time and we'll make history You and me"
