Broken Pieces-Chp13

Wander: (looks around Hater's ship, seeing how large it really is) This thing is huge...

Sylvia: Yup. The ship of Lord Hater, No1 Super Star. It had to be big [chuckled, then called the intercom] Hey, Peepers. We're ready to go. N we hv a new crew member joining us

Peepers: new member? When did...?

Sylvia: U'll find out soon. Lets get this thing off the planet. Oh, n tell the chef to fill up the food court. Our new member is hungry

Peepers: Alright then.

Wander: ? Peepers?

Sylvia: Yeah, he's the 2nd in command of this ship. Helps to do things mostly Lord Hater won't do or too lazy to do. I'm surprised he didnt find Peepers to come up with the idea to rescue u

Wander:... I see... (glances again to Hater)

Hater: [was chugging dwn a drink Awesome brought for him]

Sylvia: C'mon, lets go. I'll show u the food court

Wander: (think) ... (nod) Okay.

Sylvia: [took his hand n led him to the food court]

Wander: :) (follows)

[the both of them soon reach the food court, where it is huge n clean n smelled amazingly of food]

Wander: :D smells nice.

Sylvia; Yup, best chef in the nine galaxy [showed him the buffet selection] Take ur pick. Help urself. Make urself at home. Its ur new home now, aftr all

Wander: :) (checks to see what they have)

Awesome: He seems happier now... (whispers to Sylvia) But I suggest keeping an eye out if he has any breakdowns or such...

Sylvia: Yeah, its a no-brainer, aftr all he had been thru. I'll watch ovr him for now. U try to keep Hater frm pushing him too far n we'll try to help him heal n recover frm all this

Awesome: Gotcha, Bee. ;)

Wander: (has picked out his food choices) ^^ (sits down to enjoy)

Sylvia: Stop calling me Bee! [grumbled as she punched his shoulder, then went to sit with Wander aftr grabbing some finger sandwiches] Nice. Dig in. There's more where tht came frm

Awesome: ><... (she likes me ^^)

Wander::) (starts eating)

Sylvia: So, I nvr reli got to properly introduce myself. Sylvia. Sylvia the zbornak [held out her hand]

Wander: Wander, ma'am... (slowly holds out hand)

Sylvia: Don't call me ma'am, makes me feel old. U can call me buddy, like I'm calling u buddy, buddy [shakes his hand]

Wander: ... (nod) mhm.

Sylvia: I hope u'll be able to get used to staying here, n also get along with Hater. He's a bit of a manchild, bt his heart is in the right plc. U'll see

Wander: (glances once again to Hater) ... Okay...

Sylvia: [smiled n petted his head] Don't worry. I'll be hanging out with u for the moment. Awesome will take ovr my position in the meantime. Just holler if u need anything, OK?

Wander: (flinches a bit from being touched on the head, but slowly relaxes)... Mhm.

Sylvia: [notices it] I knw ur scared, bt u'll be alright. Time heals all wounds. So be strong, OK? N we will lend u a helping hand wen u need to

Wander:...thank you...

[the two of them just made small talk as they ate]

Hater: [was hiding at a corner watching them eat n make merry, n secretly sighed in relief tht it was all ovr, tht he had cured his guilty conscience by saving Wander frm Ryder]

Awesome: you did the right thing, bro...

Hater: Hmm, I suppose so. Do u think it was a bit of an ovrkill tho?

Awesome: Well, at least you chained him up in case he DID survive, -.- or becomes a zombie.

Hater: Tht's not something to make fun of, Awesome. I told u I've seen crazier things out there. I wasnt gonna take any chances

Awesome: Right. But still, you managed to get the little dude out of there. But it might take some time before he can completely trust you, from the looks of it...

Hater: [sighed] Didnt give him the best impression, I suppose. I wouldnt blame him if he still hates me

Awesome: He just needs time, bro.

Hater: Yeah, whatevr. I've done my job. I'm going bk to my room now [left to his room]

Awesome: (think)... (looks to where Sylvia and Wander are still making small talk)

Sylvia: [was chuckling as she petted Wander's head again, somehow, to Awesome, seemed rather beautiful n feminine, wat with her being so rarely kind n soft-spoken since she's such a tough girl]

Awesome: (^///^ she's so awesome.)

Wander: :)... (I might like it here, much better then with Ryder...)

Sylvia: Wat a cute smile u hv. Wat's on ur mind, buddy?

Wander: Just... feel I might like staying here...

Sylvia: Tht's good. Bt there is one thing u need to knw abt Lord Hater tho

Wander: ? That is...?

Sylvia: Lord Hater is a conqueror. Planet conqueror to be exact

Wander:... I see...

Sylvia: Don't worry. Yeah sure, he conquers planets, bt only wen he thinks that planet is dying and can't survive by itself. Usually small planets with creatures that are doing more harm than good to themselves. N also planets where the ppl r bad n terrible. He would not conquer a good planet that can survive on its own, n he knws his limits wen he sees a planet with a leader stronger than he can handle. He didn't try to conquer Planet Citadel, remember?

Wander:...I guess not.

Sylvia: N u don't hv to participate if u don't want to. We can do all the work while u stay on this ship. Bt u hv to make urself useful. Everyone has a job here in this ship. Wat are u good at?

Wander: (think)... I have done cooking once in a while, and a bt of house work.

Sylvia: I suppose that's pretty much wat u did wen ur with Ryder anyways. Alright, I'll tell that to Hater n maybe he can decide on a suitable job for u here

Wander: (nod)

Sylvia: U can sleep with me tonight. Starting tomorrow after u get a job frm Hater, u will hv ur own room

Wander:... thank you, Sylvia.

Sylvia: Ur welcome, buddy. Welcome to the crew [chuckles as she gently patted his bk]

Wander: ^^
