Broken Pieces-Chp30

(Later, Wander is standing by the windows, seeing the heart shaped planet they're landing on)

Wander: Amazing... (sees Captain Tim scurry up to him) :) Hey, Tim. Been enjoying your stay here as well? (ruffles his head) ^^

Capt Tim: [panted happily n ran circles ard Wander's feet]

Hater: [was all dressed up in his best outdoor robes, which was surprisingly white on top n black at the bottom, complete with a nice bowtie, n wore black gloves for the occasion, then sees Wander in his suit n blushed green] Wow...

Wander: (notices Hater) You like this, right? (checking his suit) Ryder always considered dating a waste of time and money, so I've never reallly... it's still good, isn't it? (flushing himself)

Hater: [snap bk to his senses] It... It's better than good. U look amazing... [take his hand n kissed it] N tht dumb ass Ryder is missing out on such beauty

Wander: (flushes harder at the hand kiss)...Y-you too, Hater... (clears throat) Do the other Watchdogs know now? About us...?

Hater: I haven't told them yet, bt knowing Peepers, he'll prolly give them a heads up so they wont get caught off guard. We're almost landing now. U sure ur OK with this date? I don't want to aggravate ur condition. We just found out abt it n all...

Wander: Well, we don't have to do everything... We can always see how far we get with the stuff you had planned.

Hater: Fair enough. Shall we? [took his hand n led him to the ship's landing]

Wander:...Yes, we shall. (walks with Hater)

[they both made their way out of the ship n first stop was the restaurant]

Wander: (looking around, impressed by the scenery)

Hater: [was led by the maitre'd to their table he reserved beforehand, then help Wander to his chair] Here ya go

Wander: (takes his seat) ^^

Hater: [got a menu for both of them n looked thru his] Order whatever u want, Wander. My treat

Wander: I know. (looking through menu)

Hater: [as usual, ordered quite a lot for his appetite]

Wander: (was trying to decide what he wanted, since everything sounded pretty good)

Hater: [noticed his indecisiveness] Need any help?

Wander: So many choices here... (was indeed having trouble choosing)

Hater: Well, since ur still recovering frm ur morning sickness, how abt something light, easy on ur stomach?

Wander:...I suppose, yes. (glances through menu)...Is their soup good?

Hater: Oh yeah, I just ordered one of my fav ones. U wanna give tht a try?

Wander:...Sure, why not? :)

Hater: [also helped him choose some finger sandwiches n light foods tht might be easy on his stomach]

Wander: (smiles, enjoying the food and also making conversation with Hater, each asking questions about each other)

Hater: So, u said u guys r born as a litter. How many sibs exactly do u hv?

Wander: Five older brothers, I was pretty much the youngest one. But I was also the child who got sick easily, but had a lot of care from Mama, as well as the plants Janet provided to make good medicine... (pauses to give himself a moment) But, uh, what about you? Siblings or only child?

Hater: I'm the middle child. Hv an older sister n younger brother. I kinda suffer frm middle child syndrome mostly, so as soon as I was of age, I decided to make a name for myself n left home. Been on my own ever since n lost contact frm my family. I dont think they even remember I exist anymore

Wander: :(... (places his hand on Hater's) So sorry about that...

Hater: Its no big. Last I heard my sis has gotten married to a warlord across the nine galaxies n ruling with him in their own little kingdom while my little brother was groomed to be the new Lord of our Skeletor realm aftr I left home. So yeah, they've got their own lives, I got mine

Wander: (smiles softly)...I'm sure your folks would still remember you...

Hater: [shrugged] Maybe. Bt I wouldnt knw. They've nvr called me, n I didn't bother calling them either. So 5 older brothers, eh? R they all...umm...intersex like u?

Wander: (thinks) Can't remember, maybe it was just me, but I don't know. (looks away a little)... Surprised you didn't demand an apology outta me...for that outburst. I mean, I wasn't trying to guilt trip anyone and I know you said some stuff too, but you should've still been mad at me. And could've been real mad if you felt like the whole thing between us was so the hat was working the way it used to, because the spell still doesn't seem to be broken, and- (gets hushed by Hater's finger)

Hater: It's OK reli. There's nothing for me to be mad abt. U were pissed at Ryder n u needed to let off some steam, u needed to vent. I was ur trigger. If it weren't for me we prolly wouldn't even hv crossed paths. N I don't care abt the hat. I care abt u. Nothing else matters

Wander:...(holds Hater's hand again) Same... :) (leans forward for kiss)

Hater: [smirked n leaned in as well, giving him a short peck on the lips]

Wander: (flushes happily)

(After dinner, they decided to try out some of the carnival games)

Wander: (trying to knock down some pins to get a prize, but no luck)

Hater: [tries his luck too, also didn't get any, blushed in frustration before lashing out with his electric powers to burn off all the pins, making the booth owner shakily give him the grand prize of a huge space octo-bear plush, which he proudly hands it to Wander]

Wander: (hugs it) ^^

Hater: [tried the Test-Your-Strength hammer bt it only got him to the middle of the bell meter, bt spared the booth owner his tantrum n settled for the consolation prize, which was a small alien squid squishy plush]

Wander: :) (happily enjoying time with Hater... but can't feel someone was watching them... mostly him...)

[nxt they went to try the Tunnel of Love, in which Hater forked out the tickets n helped Wander on into a swan like love boat n entered the tunnel]

Wander: (snuggles close to Hater)

Hater: [held him close by the waist, then slowly made out with him as their love boat went thru the dreamy ambience n romantic soothing music]

Wander: mmm~

(Afterwards, they took a walk through a garden pathway looking at all the plants)

Wander: (pointing out a name of each flower and the uses it had)

Hater: Well ur pretty proficient in these. Maybe I should transfer u to the medic section of my ship instead of kitchen duty

Wander: Think so? I don't mind making meals... (glances once again behind them, still seeing no one...)

Hater: [noticed his uneasiness this time] Something bothering u, Wander? [looked to where he's looking ]

Wander: Just... feel like we're being followed...? M-maybe it's nothing. (hurries ahead)

Hater: [looks ard warily before holding Wander close to his side] Keep close. I don't wanna lose u

Wander: (stays close with Hater)...

[nxt they went to see a drive-thru movie, in which Hater rented a car n drove them to the ticket stand] So sappy romance drama or rom-com?

Wander: Hmm... not sure, which ever is good.

Hater: Rom-com it is [not one for sappy stuff, n bought their tickets]

Wander (watches the movie with Hater, nuzzling into his side)

Hater: [laughed heartily at the funny parts, sharing popcorn n drinks with Wander]

Wander: :) (forgetting for a while that it felt like they were being watched or followed)

Broken Pieces-Chp29

(meanwhile)...

Awesome: (watching what looked like a girly cartoon) Hehe, ^^ cute ponies. (his door is suddenly slammed open) O_O Whoa! (quickly changes channel, turns to whoever) You didn't see anything!

Sylvia: I got a bone to pick with u, Fish Face!! [cracked her knuckles, glaring venomously at Awesome]

Awesome: Lemme guess, you found out about Bone Head and Wander?

Sylvia: And apparently u forgot to decide to mention it to me??

Awesome: There's a good reason, Syl-

Sylvia: [didnt wait for him to finish as she gave him a sucker-punch] Wander is my best friend! I hv the right to knw first wats going on with him, n YOU HID IT FRM ME!! [another sucker punch]

Awesome: >_<...Sylvia, just hold on- (punched) >< Stop punching me, woman!

Sylvia: Gimme one good reason why I shouldn't knock ur teeth out n fit u with premature dentures [raised her fist in warning]

Awesome: ><...From what I saw on camera watch, Hater did NOTHING to hurt Wander. He even did a better job then Ryder has ever done at showing him love and care. So, what do YOU plan to do about it missy, try and seperate them? Did you even consider their feelings on this or just yours?

Sylvia: [puffed her cheeks, fuming with defiance at first, then groan in exasperation as she lowered her fists] Fuck... I HATE it wen ur right... [plops dwn on the couch in defeat]

Awesome: (sits next to her) I know you're upset about all this, but what matters is both Hatey and Wander found someone who can actually love them for them. (looks away for a moment) Makes me wish I can do the same thing...

Sylvia: [sighs] Sorry for the outburst. I dont get a lot of best friends, n I'm promptly disowned frm my own family aftr I decided to join Ryder in a life of crime, so Wander feels like family to me, like a little brother I nvr had. I can't help bt feel ovrprotective ovr him... [looked at him] Ooh, do u mean u hv some gal in mind? Who's the unlucky girl? [meant tht as a joke]

Awesome: (blinked)...you mean you're actually interested to hear about my Ex?

Sylvia: [shrugged] Since u brought it up, why not? Not like I've got anything to do. N I'm not exactly Wander's fav person right now so...

Awesome: Well... Becky, she's also Zbornak just with pruple skin and long red hair. We were having a good time back then, until... found out she was only interested in me because of how rich my family was. Didn't care for my feelings at all... (turns away) I get it, this is already boring you.

Sylvia: No, no, ur not boring me. I'm good. Becky, tht name sounds familiar. Might've known her bk in high school. I'm surprised u would be interested in zbornak-s. I thought u Marina-s usually stick to ur kind

Awesome: It felt overrated for me, the whole 'same-species-love' type of thing. I wanted to vary on my taste a bit, that's all. And Becky, she was the first one...unfortunately. But, um... I do have interest in another. Only problem...she clearly doesn't seem to have the same interest back...

Sylvia: Tht's silly. Who wouldn't be interested in a catch like u? [chuckles, tho it seems she's not getting the hint]

Awesome: I dunno...someone who doesn't always like silly nicknames...? (grins sheepishly)

Sylvia: Silly nickna-- [something clicked, then turned to look at Awesome incredulously] Wait... U mean...?

Awesome: Yup... >////> I'm looking at her now... (braces for rejection)

Sylvia: [was caught off guard for a min, blinked once or twice, then got up slowly] Umm... Kaaayy... I'll leave u to ur pony show... [had a bit of a hard time processing this n her fight-or-flight response kicked in, making her avoid the issue as she left the room]

Awesome:... -___- Way to go, Fish Face. Ya screwed up...


(meanwhile)

Wander: (trying on a suit for his first actual date) This looks about right... (hears knocking) Yes?

Sylvia: [peeks in] Umm... Hey, buddy. Can I come in...?

Wander: (pauses)...Yes.

Sylvia: [comes in sheepishly, then lingered at a corner] Umm... U...going out on tht date with Hater?

Wander: (adjusting his suit, which is a black jacket that had a long tail and was unbuttoned at the top showing a white shirt, black pants and black dress shoes. He even had a small blue bowtie) We're about to land soon, so yeah... (glances) You still mad at us about what's happened...?

Sylvia: [sighed] No... I'm not reli mad... Just super disappointed. I mean... U've kinda grown on me, like a little brother. Ur like my only real best friend I've evr had, not counting Hater, he's my boss, bt I digress. I'm reli glad tht u found someone to love u aftr all the shit u went thru. I just... I just wished u would've told me abt this. I was just reli worried for u, tht maybe... I dunno, u might get hurt by Hater or something... [takes a deep breath n sighed again] All I'm saying is... I'm sorry

Wander:...(turns to her) We were worried about how you'd react... but I have my apologies too. You're the big sister I've never had either, I mostly grew among brothers. Not to mention, I didn't mean to say any of that stuff... (walks up and touches where she still had the red marks)...or do that to you...does it still hurt...?

Sylvia: [chuckles n brushed it off] Nah, this is nothing. I'm good. I've got cuts worse than these. N I deserve it anyways, for exploding at u guys like tht

Wander: (hugs her) We're all good. Right, buddy?

Sylvia: Yeah, we're good. U sure u OK to go on tht date, with ur current condition? [a little worried]

Wander:...It feels okay for now... Hater wouldn't let anything bad happen. (fiddles with fingers) ...just a little nervous since this is the first time dating for me...

Sylvia: Understandable, bt don't worry. Hater had his share of dating wen he was with his flings bk then. He'll take care of u

Wander:...(nod) He will.

Broken Pieces-Chp28

(Wander didn't know how long he was passed out, but when he regained conciousness again, he blinked slightly at some bright lights...)

Wander:...Hater...? (feeling around for him)

Hater: [was right nxt to him the whole time, n Peepers came with the medic lickety-split, n was currently examining him right now] I'm here, Wander. Don't move. The medic is chking u right now, OK? I'm right here [held Wander's hand gently, ignoring the fact tht Peepers was right there watching, along with Sylvia who also joined in concern]

Wander: ... (nods, a little scared of this whole thing) (grips Hater's hand)

Sylvia: [noticed tht grip n was trying to put two n two together]

Hater: [it was almost forever before the medic was done] Wat's taking so long? Is he OK?

Medic:...This is interesting...

Hater: Wat? Wat is it??

Sylvia: [looking at Hater's concern face, Wander's pale face n finally put two n two together, her face scowling at the Skeletor]

Medic: (turning to Wander) Have you also been sick just this morning?

Wander:...Maybe a little... but, what does... (realizes)... o///o...You think that...?

Medic: It seems confirmed enough... So yes... You are.

Hater: Wat? He's wat? [not feeling like the brightest bulb in the room right now]

Sylvia: He's PREGNANT, u DOLT!! How DARE u?! [pounced onto Hater n started sucker-punching him for all its worth]

Peepers: SIR!

Wander: No, Sylvia! It's not his fault, he didn't mean to-!

Medic: (trying to seperate the two)

Sylvia: Didn't mean to? How can he not mean to knock u up?! Did he take advantage of u like he did with Ryder?? Did he rape u?! [turned to Hater, still punching him] U raped him, didnt u? U somehow found out he was in heat n u took advantage n raped him while he's vulnerable! U got dick for brains sometimes!

Hater: [was still in shock frm the pregnancy news tht he didn't retaliate n let Sylvia continue hitting him, evn literally punching his jaw off]

Wander: (jaw gaped...before growling and slashed Sylvia's face, leaving red markings)

Peepers: (turns to Hater) Sir??

Sylvia: [was shocked by the slash, holding her face] W-Wander...?

Hater: [quietly got up, picked up his jaw n reattached it before holding Wander close] It's OK, Wander... It's OK, I deserve it...

Wander: (didn't hear Hater, staring at Sylvia) First off, DON'T you EVER compare Hater to Ryder, you BITCH! Secondly, was it really wrong with me wanting to feel loved instead of used?! Espcially when he took away THAT first time?? Thirdly, if you think I'm willing to get rid of this litter, then...(unable to stay angry, ends up sobbing in his hands)

Hater: Its OK... Its OK... [cuddled him close n stroke his bk, then spoke, tho not looking at Sylvia] I'm sorry u had to find out this way, Sylvia, bt believe me wen I say it was an accident. Like I told Awesome, I didnt mean for this to happen. I was concerned wen he called in sick, I didnt knw he was in heat, n one thing led to another. I plan to go steady with Wander, which is why I wanted u to locate Planet Louvre, Peepers, so tht I can properly date him. Bt now it has come to this, I guess there will be change of plans...

Sylvia: Awesome...? Th-That fish face knew n nvr told me?? I'm not happy with this, Hater, not at all!! [stormed out of the room]

Wander: (still sobbing silently)

Peepers:...Sir...? Does this mean...? The whole time, you and he were...?

Hater: [sighed n nodded] Yes, Peepers. During his heat, we've been having secret "rendezvous". I dunno how it happened bt it did. I'm serious this time. This is not a fling like I had with others bk then wen I was conquering. [turns to Peepers] Its my child too, n I will take responsibility. U can't tell me otherwise

Peepers:...I suppose not... (leaves with the Medic)

Wander:...(hugs Hater closely)...ve yo... ;(

Hater: [didnt catch it] Sorry, wat did u say? U OK?

Wander:...(swallows)...I said I love you... ;( And do...do you really feel the same? I didn't imagine you saying that? (refering to that last night he was in heat)

Hater: Yes, I meant every word. I definitely plan to go steady with u. U captured my heart since the day of ur outburst. There was something abt u I couldnt ignore. I plan to take u out on a dinner date tonight at Planet Louvre, I evn had a list of things planned for us to do... [kissed him gently on the lips] I love u too, Wander. I realize it now...

Wander: (kisses him back) ...Also, Hater? (remembers another important thing) We're not really having a child... more of a litter. ^^; In other words, I wasn't an only child...

Hater: O_O Wait, wat? U...U weren't? How many exactly is in a litter...? [was a little nervous at the thought]

Wander: About 5 to 6. (looking concerned)...is that a problem?

Hater: [blushed hard, then sorta passed out frm shock]

Wander: O_O...Hatey? Hater?? (shakes him)

Hater: @____@ [was a little out of it for a while]

Broken Pieces-Chp27

(later)

Wander: (enters Hater's room, holding two small boxes with two pairs of chop sticks) Lord Hater?

Hater: [was looking thru his list of things to do once they got to Planet Louvre wen he heard Wander enter, n quickly kept the list] Uhh, hey, Wander. Ur early for my lunch. Is evrything OK?

Wander: Just, uh...had a talk with Westley about stuff. (holding the boxes)...Ever tried a Bento box?

Hater: Bento wat? [looking at the box, confused]

Wander: (opens the box, that was made for Hater; showed different types of small food, arranged to look like the skeletor's face) Sometimes you can make pictures with these. :)

Hater: [looked at the bento n couldnt help bt smile] Well, I gotta admit, it looks adorable. Where did u learn to do tht?

Wander: (flushes a little) Just...artistic running in the family, I guess.

Hater: Well, at least u remember my appetite [takes his bento, which was twice as large as Wander's due to his huge appetite] N I'm supposed to use these? [looked warily at the chopsticks]

Wander: (smiles) Here, you have to hold them like this. (helps to make Hater hold the chopsticks right, but slowly pasues...those hands...showing him love...unable to help himself, he placed a few kisses)

Hater: [blushed a little at the kisses on his hand, then takes Wander's hand tht held his n kissed as well]

Wander: o///o... uh... (pulls back a bit) ^^; s-sorry... (opens up his own Bento box, which showed a picture of a simple flower.)

Hater: [smiled a bit] There's nothing to be sorry abt [sees his design] Urs look surprisingly...simple

Wander: (shrugs) Don't have a lot of needs, really... (nibbles a bit on his own food, not minding that the overlord was watching closely to see how to use the chopsticks)

Hater: [was in fact staring at the Star Nomad using the chopsticks n tried to use it himself to eat, bt so far, all he was able to do is shovel some food into his mouth, n whenever he tried to copy Wander picking up food, it either slipped out of his grasp or end up flying out of the bento box] Dammit... Stupid, stupid thing...!

Wander: (giggle) Need help with that?

Hater: [blushed in defiance] ...No! [bt was clearly struggling]

Wander: (smiles a little, takes Hater's hand again) Here, like this... (helps him use the chopsticks the correct way)

Hater: [finally figures it out aftr a while n successful gripped a piece of food] Haha! I got it! Who's a No1 Superstar?? Me. me!!! Muahahaha~~~ [noticed Wander staring at him humorously] Umm... Yeah, th-thanks to u too... [blushed as he popped the food in his mouth]

Wander: (just smiles it off...at first, before turning away, an uneasy frown. He seemed to clear his throat, but let out a small whine of discomfort; he even began trembling)

Hater: [noticed the trembling n turned towards him in concern] Umm... Is there something wrong? Was it something I said? I'm reli sorry if I did...

Wander: (gripping his stomach) N-no... nothing you... (starts getting up slowly, only to suddenly dash into Hater's private bathroom, hand over his mouth)

Hater: [blinked in surprise for a bit, then got up n went to the bathroom as well, seeing the poor Star Nomad hurling into the giant toilet bowl. He bit his lip n went in tentatively, patting Wander's bk to ease his discomfort] U OK, Wander?

Wander: (spitting a bit)... gob...damn it... (feels another wave of nausea and hurls again)

Hater: Tht's it, I'm going to call in the medic [gets ready to intercom Peepers]

Wander: No!...N... (feels dizzy...passing out in Hater's arms)

Hater: [caught him just in time] W-Wander? Wander! [buzzes the intercom] Peepers! Get ur butt off tht navigation chamber n get me the medic! NOW!!

Peepers: Sir, what's happened??

Hater: Less talk, more action! Medic, my room, NOW!!

Peepers: Y-yes, yes Sir!

Broken Pieces-Chp26

(meanwhile, Wander was back on the job but was told by Peepers to take it easy if he needed to. However, the nomad still had memories on and off about what he and Hater had done together over the last few days. He wasn't even sure if...he was falling in love with Hater? But what if he just thought he was, like he had been with Ryder? Was Hater serious about loving him back? Or did he imagine him saying that?)

Wander: (bothered with these thoughts, which some of the Watchdogs seemed to notice.)

Westley: [definitely noticed him the most] Umm, Wander?

Wander:...Uh...Huh? o.o Say something, Wes?

Westley: Umm... Ur pouring too much inkberry sauce into tht fish [pointed at the fish he was supposed to marinate bt the sauce was ovrflowing]

Wander: (notices) O_O Oh! (stops the pouring) ^^;;; Oops.

Westley: Wander, can we talk? In private?

Wander:...Okay...? (follows Westley)

Westley: [led them to the storage pantry] So, u've been a little off since tht week u took ur sick leave. Is there something bothering u? U knw u can talk to me

Wander: ...it's nothing, really...(hopes Westley isn't noticing him slightly flushing from thoughts of Hater)

Westley: [raised a brow] Does this hv anything to do with Lord Hater n u being his newly assigned waiter?

Wander: !!...N-No, I... I don't mind being his waiter... nothing wrong with that, really!

Westley: [noticed the slight blush on Wander's face as he protested, then grinned a little] Oh, I see where this is going. U like Lord Hater, don't u? Like "like him" like him?

Wander: O_O...uhhhhh...^^; you see... (hugging himself, trying to look away)

Westley: Well aren't u going for the gold there, Wander? [nudged him teasingly] So u guys officially going steady or something?

Wander:...steady but... you're not concerned because of my 'relation' with Ryder...?

Westley: Who? [hasn't reli fully known abt the history of Wander n Ryder, since the Star Nomad is a little hesitant to talk abt his past evn aftr a mth being in the ship]

Wander:...(sighs and explains how he met Ryder and what his life was like with him)

Westley: Hmmm... I see... [scratches his chin] U definitely had it rough bt tht is the past. Everyone makes mistakes. N judging by the way Lord Hater went all tht way to rescue u frm him, I'd say he genuinely cares abt u

Wander:...Yeah... but I'm not sure about going through with this...chances of the same thing happening all over again...

Westley: Wander, lemme tell u something abt Lord Hater. U knw why we're willing to work for him n follow him to ends of the galaxy without question, evn tho he can be a big manchild?

Wander:...Why's that?

Westley: Bcoz he saved us. He saved us wen no one else would care. I knw, right? A planet conqueror saving ppl? Weird, right? Bt its the truth

Wander: He did all that...?

Westley: Yeah, he WAS supposed to conquer our planet, bt it turns out the planet itself is dying n we were also slowly dying off frm starvation n cold, n Hater decided to save us all by taking us in to his ship to work for him n he put our planet out of its misery by blowing it up. We were sad to see our planet die, bt if we stay, we would've all died with it. With Hater, we had a chance to survive. It's thanks to him we're all alive right now

Wander:...(amazed Hater did all that...) Ryder wouldn't ever do that sort of thing...

Westley: I don't suppose he would, judging by how u describe him. The point is wen Lord Hater is serious abt something, he will go thru with it, n if there is something he cares abt, he'll protect it even if it cost him his life. He's not as evil as everyone in the galaxy thinks he is, so trust me wen I say u can trust him with ur heart

Wander:...(nod) Yeah...

Westley: [patted his bk] Feel better now tht u got it off ur chest?

Wander:...Mhm. (thinks a moment) I don't know if Hater already had an order, but... wanted to do a little something different for his meal, if he'd be ok with that...

Westley: No, he hasnt reli ordered anything yet. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. I bet he might like the gesture

Wander: (nod)

Broken Pieces-Chp25

[Wander's heat was finally ovr, n just in time for his own new room to be ready, n Sylvia is currently helping the Star Nomad to move his stuff into his new room]

Sylvia: [settled dwn pillows n sheets] There. Anything else u need me to bring ovr, buddy?

Wander: No... it's good. (holding onto his hat)

Sylvia: [sees him holding his hat] Sorry I still haven't reli figure out how to unlock tht damn thing tho. I swear I was getting close

Wander: I know... (remembers the day his father had given him the hat for his travels...he had been trusted with it...) (tears up a bit) ...I'm sorry... (holds it close) I'm sorry, Papa... ;(

Sylvia: [comes close to him] Hey now, its not ur fault, OK? All this happened coz of tht stupid snarfblatt Ryder. Ur not to blame for this, OK? [held him]

Wander: (nods, hugging Sylvia)

(meanwhile, Peepers is busy locating a planet Lord Hater had requested)

Peepers: It should take at least a few hours for us to get there, Sir.

Awesome: (is standing nearby, scowling. Mostly in Hater's direction...)

Hater: Good, lemme knw wen we're there. I need to get ready for my grand entrance [noticed Awesome's scowl] Wat's up with u, Fish Face?

Awesome: (narrows his glare)...Can I have a word with you, bro? In private? (Isn't taking no as an answer)

Hater: [deadpan stare at him for a while, then sighs n rolled his eyes] Fiiine~~ [led them to the throne room, which is empty at the moment] Alright, wat is it?

Awesome: (doesn't respond for a moment...before socking Hater's face with his fist)

Hater: OUCH!! Wat the frag?? [activated his glowwing claws] How dare u punch me, Lord Hater No1 Superstar?? U better hv a fraggin' explanation for this!!

Awesome: (standing his ground, unfazed by Hater's reaction)...Ya think I don't know, dude? What happens when Ryder cancels Poke games for a week straight?...The reason why Wander called in 'sick'...??

Hater: [blinked a bit bt then also stood his ground] I hv no froppin' idea wat in the nine galaxies r u talking abt, fish face! Why dont u tell me??

Awesome: -__- Dude, I was on camera watch for a while. Not to mention you obviously sneaking around lately. (cracks knuckles) But you've better a good reason for taking advantage of the little guy before I knock whatever brains you have in...

Hater: [blinked again, then groaned as he facepalmed, blushing green] Ugh... Fiiiine~~~ It was an accident, OK? Wen Hodges told me he called in sick, I was worried, so I went to chk on him. Dunno why I did tht, bt I went. Then I smelled him n one thing led to another... I SWEAR to GOB I didnt hurt him. I NEVER took advantage of him. He was... OK with it. Do u think he wouldn't go complaining to the zbornak if he wasnt OK with me doing it?

Awesome:...(sighs) Fair point. But you're lucky about one thing; Syl and Peeps don't know anything about this. Doesn't mean they're bound to find out sooner or later, so just be careful with what you two are doing, okay?

Hater: Fine, I get it... [turns to leave, then doubles bk] Oh, n one more thing [gives Awesome an electrocuting punch] THAT's for the shinrt u gave me [walks off satisfied n humphs]

Awesome: >_<...Ow.

Hater: [went off to prepare himself for the planet]

Broken Pieces-Chp24

[thru the week-long heat, Hater continued to secretly come bk to Wander's room to make love to him, n would hide in the closet if Sylvia came in to chk on Wander or to bring him food. On the last day of the heat, Hater was snogging Wander as usual in bed, both of them recovering frm gob-knws-how-many-times orgasms]

Wander: (breathing heavily, his face flushing as Hater was gently carrasing him)... H-hater...?

Hater: Nnhh... Yeah...? [kissed Wander's cheeks gently]

Wander: I, uh... (looks away almost embarrased) there's... something I've always done for most others...but never had it done to me... it's something I'd like to try...

Hater: [tilted his head] Wat is it? U can tell me

Wander: (swallows)...have...you ever done... (takes a deep breath before he finishes)... done blow jobs...? (face is fully flushing from asking such a thing)

Hater: Well... technically no. All of my past lovers are females, n I'm used to giving pussy jobs. Why? U would like me to do it to u? Aren't my pussy jobs good enough? [grinned teasingly at him]

Wander: (couldn't help smiling a little bit) at least... to see how good it feels...

Hater: Well who am I to deny u then? [soon went under the covers to gently lick at Wander's cock, his hands stroking Wander's inner thighs tenderly]

Wander: ahhh~ (is enjoying the feeling)

Hater: [nibbled at Wander's cock gently, sucking it evr so often, licking dwn the length n occasionally flicked his tongue ard Wander's pussy just to tease him]

Wander: (lets out a cry at this, but quickly puts both hands on his mouth to hold back his moans, worrying someone might hear them but he also didn't want Hater to stop)

Hater: [kept sucking, sneaking his hand dwn to rub Wander's clit while he continued his blowjob, barely noticing the footsteps tht started coming to the door n the knock]

Wander:...h...H-Hater... >///< ahh! (is squirming with need)

Hater: [hummed, kept on going]

*knock knock knock*

?: Wander? U OK in there? [it was Sylvia's voice]

Wander: O///O H-Hater, she's... >///< Ah, w-wait...! (grips onto Hater's hood, trying to get him off)

Hater: Oh grob... [was too late to get out of bed as the door was opening, so he pulled off n lay as flat as possible on the bed under the covers]

Sylvia: [comes in, peeking her head in] Hey, buddy [sniffed abt] Hmm, looks like ur heat is slowing dwn, u dont smell tht strong anymore

Wander: :D / ^^; Well... it is getting near the end of the cycle... (hoping Sylvia doesn't spot Hater) And once it gets aired out, you can sleep in here again.

Sylvia: Well, tht's good. Oh, here's ur lunch [puts his tray of food on the table nxt to the bed] U knw, there hv been a bit of progress on the hat u got

Wander: (looks hopeful) Has it... been fixed then...?

Sylvia: Well, not 100%, bt it seems like the seal is giving up a little. Well, technically its been acting odd these few days, lighting up on its own, then spewing out a whole bunch of stuff, mostly money n loot, no doubt Ryder's stash, since u said he's been using tht hat to hide his stolen goods, n some kind of blue-purplish mist seems to be coming out of it evrytime it does tht, n then just last night I was able to stick my hand inside n found this [took out a small picture frame of Wander as a child with his parents n gave it to him] Bt it was only tht one time. I couldnt dig anything else out aftr tht. So I think the seal is slowly breaking, maybe its run its course aftr Ryder's dead. Bt come to think of it...it seem to start doing tht on the day of ur heat... Hmm...

Hater: [was listening in too, tho his hand occasionally sneak to stroke Wander's cock a little teasingly]

Wander:...(gazes at the familiar faces of his parents; his father, a brown nomad with a long ponytail and beard and wearing the hat, with an orange nomad with her hair in a braid, a white flower in her hair and wearing a green dress; his mother)... Papa... Mama... (holds back a gasp as he felt Hater's hand touch him like that) >///<~

Sylvia: [didnt notice Wander's face trying to hold bk, bt decides to leave him be anyways] Anyhow, just here to bring u ur lunch n also to give u tht. Hope it helps. Hang in there, buddy [leaves the room]

Hater: [waited until Sylvia was completely gone before he peeks out frm the covers] Tht was close... [sighed in relief]

Wander: Thanks, Syl... (turns to Hater) -_- Really? She could've caught us when you did that. -///-

Hater: Heh, sorry, can't help it. I didnt want to leave u hanging [sees the picture] Those ur folks?

Wander: (shows him the photo) Yes... they are... (frowns a little) I miss them...

Hater: U think they're still alive?

Wander: I wouldn't know... it's been so long... (sniffles a bit as he hugs the photo close to his chest)

Hater: [a short silence later...] Well...if u like, maybe we can go bk to ur home planet one day, then maybe we can find out

Wander: (looks at him) would... would you really do that...? (smiles... then looks thoughtful) Hopefully... Janet isn't still wary of strangers since you guys did help me out.

Hater: [raised a brow] Janet? Who's she? [was a little jealous, he didnt knw why]

Wander: Oh... uh... ^^; Did I mention me and my family lived on a living talking planet? That's who I mean by Janet.

Hater: Wha...? U mean Star Nomads originated frm a living planet? N u guys name it Janet?

Wander: No, me and my family, we were the only ones who had a living planet home and she was already named Janet. She always provided us with food and shelter, so we didn't have to travel so much since she always changed her landscape once in a while. Also, she's mostly a pink rose that can change size if she wanted. But she cared for me and my family, she was like a nanny and aunt figure.

Hater: Huh. Interesting. I'd like to meet her someday. Bt I thought Star Nomads dont stay in one plc for long

Wander: I know, but my parents kind of wanted to take a break from traveling so that they could raise a family.

Hater: Yeah, I understand tht [licked his lips] Now, where were we before we were rudely interrupted? [his finger reached to tease the tip of Wander's cock tht was still semi-hard]

Wander: inhales sharply >///<... Hatey~ (leans into Hater as he was touched sensually)

Hater: [chuckles] Gob, I love it wen u call me tht, u sound so cute [leans dwn to resume his blowjob for Wander]

Wander: ahhh~ (rests his hands on Hater's head, minding his horns)

Hater: [carried on, his fingers reached to tease Wander's clit as well along with his sucking n licking of his dick]

Wander: (pants lightly, his mind filled with wanting to please Hater; even if he was the one being pleased for once, he wanted to make Hater happy too. He may have been told he didn't have to do anything but someday...) Hater... Ha-Hate... Hater... (is trying to get his attention)

Hater: Hmhnn...? [doesnt stop wat he was doing, bt his eyes looking up at him showed tht he was listening]

Wander: (whimpers as Hater is continuing) this... this is the last day, so... >///<... just...(swallows)...can you fuck me...? (face is flushed from asking...)

Hater: [blinked in surprised for a moment before pulling off, grinning as his hand replaced his mouth to stroke Wander's dick while he leans close to the Star Nomad] Well, someone is being needy, aren't we? [kissed his neck]

Wander: (hisses as Hater kissed near his sweet spot) Please... please, Hater, I... (grips at the sheet, bucking his hips)

Hater: Well, who am I to deny u? [took out his boner n pushed into Wander's still wet pussy all the way in, nibbling at the sweet spot on Wander's neck]

Wander: (bites his lip as he is entered; he is used to Hater's size by now but it's still pretty large) Hater...~ (is gently silenced by a kiss from the skeletor)

Hater: [took his lips n kissed him deeply as he started thrusting in n out of him, one hand still stroking Wander's dick n the other running thru the fur of his chest]

Wander: (moans in pleasure) >///< Mmm~ Yes...

Hater: [pants as he kept at his, his glowing green boner going in n out of Wander's tiny tight pussy. He couldnt believe tht evn aftr a week of fucking, he could still feel so tight]

Wander: (throws his head back, moving his hips against Hater) Hater...! Ahhh...!

Hater: Gob... Gob, ur so tight... Ur... Ur gonna make me lose it... [pants as he fucked him harder, both hands gripping onto Wander's ass for leverage now]

Wander: Yes... >///< Hater... So close...! (feels like he'll lose it too)

Hater: [groaned as he went dwn to kiss him deeply as he finally released himself into Wander again, sending mini jolts of electricity ard Wander's pussy, tingling his clit n cock at the same time]

Wander: (cries out as he felt the jolts from Hater, releasing as well. However, the heat became a little overbearing for him this time, which caused him to somehow pass out from it, his face still flushed)

Hater: [pants to calm dwn frm his high, then noticed Wander passed out n chuckled humorously] Well, looks like someone is knackered out [pulls out gently n went to the en-suite bathroom behind the room to get some clean towels n a basin of warm water, then slowly wipes Wander dwn n cleans him up frm head to toe, then tucks him in] Sleep tight [kissed his forehead] I love u... [blushed wen he realized he said tht, then smiled to himself as he quietly left the room to let Wander rest]

Wander: ...(sighs happily in his sleep, snuggling into his bed)

Broken Pieces-Chp23

[meanwhile in the meeting room, Hater was mooning, not reli paying attention to anything tht was discussed for his upcoming invasion. Since tht fateful day, he requested tht frm now on, Wander will be in charge of sending him his meals, bt they always ended up awkward with each other n nvr reli look into each other's eyes, bt still he wanted Wander to be his personal waiter anyways. Come lunchtime today, Wander didnt show up, bt Hodges did n he almost threw a fit before he was told Wander was sick. Now his mind is just filled with questions as to wat is Wander sick abt]

Hater: [deep in thought, barely acknowledging Peepers calling him]

Peepers:...ir...sir...SIR!!!

Hater: O_O Huh? Wait? Wat?? Yes, wat is it, Peepers?!

Peepers: :| Have you been listening to anything I've been saying?

Hater: Of course I hv! I'm Lord Hater, no1 superstar! I can multitask! Umm... U were saying abt conquering Planet Noxx, right? [it was the wrong planet]

Peepers: -__- No, not Planet Noxx. ... Is something on your mind, Sir?

Hater: It sounded like Noxx... [pouted] N noo~? Nothing is on my mind right now, why'd u evn dare to ask?

Peepers: You've just been looking a little distracted...

Hater: [pouts more n got up] I'm just hungry, is all. I didnt eat much for lunch. Meeting postponed! I'm gonna get me some grub [got up n left the room]

Peepers: (stares after him)...I swear, he's strange sometimes... (shaking his head)

(Meanwhile, Wander is still curled in bed trying to ignore the heat) >///< gob... (hears someone at door) ? Sylvia?

Hater: [peeked in] Hey, sorry, Wander, u there? Its me, Hater. I heard u called in sick. I knocked, bt no one answered so... [blushed as he got a whiff] W-Wander...? Wh-What is tht...smell...?

Wander: O/////O...(crap, crap, crap, crap!) (isn't sure to answer him or not)

Hater: W-Wander...? [sees the bundle of blankets] Is...Is tht u in there...? [his mind was getting a little blurry frm the scent]

Wander: >/////< (shit, shit, shit, shit!) (has no clue how to respond)...

Hater: [let his nose lead him as he went to the bundle n pulled the blanket off gently, revealing Wander, n the scent just basically exploded in his face] W-Woah... W-Wander... U...U smell great...

Wander: (quickly pushes at Hater a little too forcefully) >////< NO! I'M NOT GOING THROUGH THAT AGAIN! Just no! (standing while staring at Hater...unaware he's...showing)

Hater: [felt the push, bt he was bigger than Wander n didnt reli fall bk tht hard, bt then sees Wander's privates all out in its glory, the scent was too ovrpowering for him to bear] W-Wander... S-Sorry... I...I can't... [crawls ovr to the bed n gently takes Wander by the cheeks, kissing him deeply]

Wander: >////< H-Hater... no, you don't...(is shivering, trying to push him off but no avail)...

Hater: [held him close, bt not forceful, as he kept kissing him. Unlike Ryder who would just shove his dick into him without warning, he was being gentle, as if some part of his mind is still restraining himself, he only kept his hands on Wander's top part of the body, not evn touching his privates, just one hand holding Wander's face gently n his other hand wrapped ard Wander's waist to bring him closer]

Wander: (still shaking...but somehow... he was enjoying it, this was completely different from when he did it with Ryder...) (pulls away) Hater...?

Hater: [pants as Wander pulled away frm him] H-Huh...? [his mind was still foggy, bt he realized a little wat he was doing] S-Sorry... I... I didnt mean to... I just... If u dont want me, I'll... I'll leave...

Wander: (grips at Hater's cloak)...No...I should b-be sorry... I didn't want to tell anyone about me being in heat because... of what Ryder did, taking advantage and all that...(sighs)... yet this is the only way for Papa's hat to work... (notices) I didn't tell you that part?

Hater: Hat...? Wat hat...? [brain still foggy] Oh, right, tht special hat Ryder was using u with... It was ur dad's...? [panting, trying to get ahold of himself to listen to Wander amidst all the ovrpowering scent]

Wander: yes... he gave it to me to help me on my travels... :( I didn't like using it the way it has been used... when Ryder cast that spell on it... (hips begin grinding against Hater on their own) >///<

Hater: I see... [remembered in the bk of his mind abt Sylvia telling him abt Star Nomads getting something frm their parents as a rite of passage for their first day of nomad traveling, bt feeling Wander's hips grinding, he realized he was also starting to sport his own boner] Nnhh... W-Wander... R... R u sure...?

Wander: >///< ...I do... I do want it this time, I just... (quietly that Hater almost couldn't hear him) I don't want to end up regretting it... just... be gentle on me...

Hater: I... I'll try... [he had his share of lovers wen he was conquering, bt most of them just flings n one night stands, so he wasnt a virgin] Just try to relax... [puts Wander on his lap, cradling him close as he took off his gloves n reaches dwn to gently stroke Wander's dick]

Wander: >///< nnnn~ (grips onto Hater's arm as he's being stroked) ahh...

Hater: [leans in to kiss him again as he kept stroking, then his hand reaches lower to feel the pussy underneath, thinking] (Wow, Star Nomads r hermaphrodites, huh? This is new...) [gently teased the clit underneath the folds]

Wander: >///< ahhh~ Hater... (hasn't been treated like this before, it just felt so good)... ah gob...

Hater: [using his arm to prop him, one hand reached to stroke the cock while the other hand continued to tease the clit in the pussy, giving him double pleasure]

Wander: >///< H-Hater, I...Ahhh! (is squirming with need at this point, his mind feeling blurry) (he could feel himself getting wet with every touch)

Hater: [whispers to his ear] Its OK, u can let go if u want. Come wen u want to, it'll make u more relaxed. I dont want to hurt u... [kissed him as his hands continued to work its magic]

Wander: >////< Nnn...Hater...! (finally releases into the skeletor's hands, feeling relief and pleasure)

Hater: [felt Wander's juices on both ends on both his hands, then licked his hand tht touched Wander's pussy before pushing the fingers into Wander] Relax. I'm quite big. I dont wanna hurt u... [pushed in deeper until he could find Wander's G-spot inside his pussy]

Wander: (arches his back, letting out a small cry as Hater rubbed that one spot) Ah...H-Hater...

Hater: [kept going, bringing Wander's lips close to him to kiss him, his other hand tht had stroke the nomad's cock now running along the soft fur on his chest sensually]

Wander: (is whimpering needy sounds, placing his hands on Hater, gripping tightly)

Hater: [whispers] Do u want me...? R u ready for me...? [was already panting, his own boxers getting a little too tight with his growing tight boner]

Wander:... (stares at Hater, face flushing)... please...Hater...

Hater: [pants n pulls out his fingers gently, then raises his robes to take off his boxers] Dont be alarmed by wat u see... I dont wanna scare u... [reveals his big boner, which was glowing green like a fluorescent light]

Wander: (notices the green glow, almosts shrinks away in slight fright but is held gently in place)... w-will it...? (recalls what Hater's hands do when they glowed green, showing electricity)

Hater: [scratched his chin] Maybe a little tiny shock, bt not tht the ppl I slept with has complained. It made them evn more excited n turned on, tht's wat they say... I'll try to control myself... [gently rubs his boner against Wander's vagina folds to lube himself up, teasing his clit a little]

Wander: mmmm~ >////< ahh... (squirms, wanting Hater to do it.)

Hater: [lubed himself up good n slowly pushed himself into Wander, holding Wander dwn gently by the hands to support them both, since Wander is so tiny in his arms]

Wander: (bites his lip as Hater enters him, bracing and expecting rentless fucking... but it doesn't happen, it's like Hater is waiting for him to adjust...)

Hater: [pants, hissing at how tight Wander's pussy was ard him, despite the latter not being a virgin anymore. He was tempted to fuck tht pussy, bt he promised he wouldnt hurt him, so he stopped] U OK, Wander...?

Wander: (taking a few deep breathes to adjust to Hater's size...) y-yeah... yeah, I'm... >///<

Hater: I'll go slow for u... [does so as he slowly thrust in n out, one hand snake dwn to gently stroke Wander's cock to let him feel some more pleasure]

Wander: (lets out a cry from the attention Hater was giving him, feeling him pump in and out) Hater...~ ahh!

Hater: [groaned as he kept at it, supporting Wander's hips with one hand n stroke gently at Wander's cock with the other, until his own cock started hitting Wander's G-spot inside]

Wander: ah...AHH...! (wraps his arms around Hater's neck, holding on as if for dear life)

Hater: [started speeding up his thrusts, feeling Wander's pussy wrapping ard his cock so tight as he hissed, now both hands on Wander's hips for leverage, tho he didnt just straight up n fuck him, bt it was hard enough for both of them to feel pleasure]

Wander: Hater...H-HATER...! >///< Can't- Please! (biting his lip)

Hater: [groaned] Go ahead, let go, this won't be ur last orgasm [sped up some more, panting hard. He had nvr been tht gentle to anyone, he mostly just fucked, bt he didnt knw why, he needed to be gentle with Wander]

Wander: Hat-ter!....(can feel it coming close) I... I can't... gonna...! (grips tightly, muffling his scream into the overlord's shoulder as he released)

Hater: [groaned at Wander's tight pussy clenching him like a vice n couldnt hold bk, letting go n came inside Wander, his orgasm sent a light shockwave thru his cock, zapping Wander a little bit]

Wander: (cringes slightly from the zap, but still holds onto Hater, breathing heavily from the orgasm)

Hater: [pants hard as he came dwn frm his high as well, then realized wat he had done] Oh...Oh! I...I'm sorry... I...I came inside u, I shouldnt hv... [was stumbling in his words]

Wander: h..huh...? (notices) n-no, Hater, it's...it's fine...m-maybe I won't get... you know... (looks away almost ashamed; he always wanted a family but if Hater didn't...)

Hater: B-But...ur in heat, chances r pretty high... [was also worried for Wander in case he didnt want kids himself]

Wander: :( ... well... we'd have to wait and see, wouldn't we? if it'll happen or not...?

Hater: I guess so... Well, if it happens... I'll take responsibility. It'll be my child as well... [scratched his chin nervously, blushing green]

Wander: (blushes slightly too)... if you really want to...

Hater: Of course, I'm Lord Hater, No1 Superstar, n I dont bk out frm a promise! [puffed his chest proudly, then calmed dwn] And umm... Wander...? [blushed again]

Wander: Hmm...? Yes?

Hater: I might hv gotten it backwards bt still...I gotta ask...Will u... Will u go out with me? Like go steady? [blushed harder] I knw it sounds weird, bt since tht day wen u had tht outburst at me, I can't exactly stop thinking of u... It kinda made me wanna rescue u frm tht vile psycho, n aftr wat happened last time at lunch... well, I guess... I guess I... I "like you" like you...?

Wander: (seems surprised...) y-you... mean that...?

Hater: Well, umm... yeah, I guess so... I mean, I'm still a little bit confused... Bt I just knw tht ur always on my mind, so yeah... W-Will u go out with me...? [his face is literally glowing green now]

Wander: (hesititates... before fully kissing Hater, gripping at his cloak) (pulls away...) does that answer your question?

Hater: [was surprised at the kiss, then grinned] Oh yeah, totes. [kissed him bk fully as well, then gently pushed him dwn n continued their love-making again, as Wander's heat scent continued to permeate the room]

Wander: ahhh~ (holds onto Hater, kissing him back)

Broken Pieces-Chp22

((after a week had passed, Wander was sleeping curled up in his bed))

Wander: zzz...mmm (was feeling warm and uncomfortable)...huh...? (starts feeling like he might catch on fire... then he realizes that feeling and quickly checks underneath his blanket)... o///o oh no... not now...

Sylvia: [was bothered by an odd scent emanating the room n woke up; they were still sharing a room for the time being coz the Watchdog in charge hv yet to find a suitable room for Wander] Wha...? Wat the... Woah, wat is tht scent...? [blushed a little bit]

Wander: (quickly ducks underneath his blanket) >///< N-nothing...! It's nothing!

Sylvia: [comes to him, worried] C'mon, ur smelling weird. Ur scaring me. Wat's up? [pulls off the blanket off Wander to see]

Wander: No! (turns away, trying not to show how embarrased he looked, but he also couldn't stop shaking) just... just call me in sick, tell Westley I can't work today, just- >///< ah... (is starting to sweat a little)

Sylvia: [noticed the sweat, then sees the wetness btwn Wander's legs as well as the tiny boner starting to peek out, n she understood n blushed] Ooh, boy. Ur in heat, arent u?

Wander:...y-yes... :( But... don't tell the others... and not Lord h... >///< I can't let them know about this...

Sylvia: Umm, well, yeah, sure, buddy. Ur lucky I'm not easily affected by ppl in heat tho, or I would've jumped u... [smacks her own head] Not helping. How long does this last?

Wander: it's...about a week... >///< just put me on sick leave, I don't want to be seen like this... :( Because when this happens, Ryder... (shivers at certain memories)

Sylvia: Fine. I understand. U can borrow my room for the week, I won't be able to sleep with tht smell all ovr here neways. I'll go chk on Peepers abt ur own room n sleep there till ur ready

Wander:...ok...(cuddles in his blanket) >///<

Sylvia: [sighed] I'll send in ur food, u just stay put [patted his head n left the room]

Wander: (cringes a little from the pat but tries to settle his nerves) ...(sigh) this is going to be a long week... -///- (tries getting some sleep)

Broken Pieces-Chp21



[soon he was met with a huge door tht has Lord Hater's insignia on it]

Wander: ...okay... (uses card key to unlock door and enters with trolley, seeing Hater playing one of his video games)

Hater: [hears all his four doors unlock, bt doesnt take his eyes off the video game] Put it right there, Hodges [pointed at his table nxt to his bed]

Wander:...actually, Hodges had an accident, so I'm delivering lunch for today. (sets lunch on table)

Hater: [blinks n actually paused his video game before turning to see him] Oh hey, its u. Wat happened to Hodges?

Wander: Stepped on some nails.

Hater: Huh, I see [peeked at lunch] Wat's for lunch?

Wander: (opens lid to show him what's on the menu)

Hater: [took a look at the food] Hmm, a bit of evrything. Just the way I like it [went to get himself a napkin n tied it ard his neck before grabbing his eating utensils n licked his lips, then noticed Wander was still there] Uhh, hv u eaten yet?

Wander: Well... Westley does say we have to wait to get our part of the meal after everyone else has finished, so...

Hater: [deliberated for a while, then produced a spare set of eating utensils he kept in his drawers] U...wanna join me?

Wander: o_o...I... I don't want to be a bother, sir...

Hater: Ur not. I'm inviting u, arent I? [held the utensils towards him n jerked his hand a little so he would take it]

Wander: (pauses, unsure... before taking the utensils) ... (sits on the bed, joining Hater)

Hater: Go ahead, eat whatevr u want. I'm not a germaphobe or anything, I'm cool with sharing. Unless ur sick or anything

Wander: ^^; nah... (tries a few bites of the food)

Hater: [gobbled his food, being a bit of a glutton]

Wander: (just eats slowly, keeping his eye on Hater...) >///> (thinking; get a hold, Wander. he was just offering...)

Hater: [forked some noodles, not realizing tht Wander was getting it as well n wen he started slurping it, he didnt notice until he was a few inches away frm Wander's face tht he n Wander were eating the same strand of noodle] O*O

Wander: (also unknowingly slurping same noodle...) (is suddenly met with Hater's mouth) O/////O;;;

Hater: [their lips were touching for almost a full minute before the skeleton overlord realized wat he was doing n jerked bk, his face blushing green all of a sudden]

Wander: (covering his face) >/////< I'm sorry, I'm sorry! That wasn't-

Hater: N-Nah... It's... It's OK... I also didnt mean to... It was just an accident [was looking a little flustered before offering him a napkin] U got cream sauce on ur chin

Wander:...(takes it and wipes the mess off his face, trying not to look at Hater)

Hater: [felt the awkwardness in the air hanging n wasnt reli sure how to deal with it, so all he could say was...] Uhh... I think I...uh...kinda wanna eat alone aftr all... P-Peepers might be looking for u...

Wander: ^^;;; Y-yeah... let you get back to your game and all that sir.

Hater: Y-Yeah... [paused for a beat] And, uh, Wander...?

Wander: (has turned to leave but pauses)...Yes?

Hater: U can...call me Hater wen it's just us... [not looking directly at him, his face still flushed green]

Wander:...Alright... Hater... (quickly leaves with his cart to get back to his job)

Hater: [watched awkwardly as he left, then continued to eat his food in silence, bt needless to say, he couldnt concentrate on his game, or anything else for tht matter for the rest of the day]

Young Destiny: The Next Gen Book2 Chp9

Meanwhile back at the Palace...

Iris: Okay Team Fire reporting in Sir! [She had pig tails on today]

Loathing: Thank you Iris. Now, I contacted the priests at the fire temple and they have every ready for the ritual. However, it takes 3 weeks to finish it. But, luckily Linger has a show and such so you can do the tourist thing until then.

Linger: Alright~! Bring on the music, baby! [did a air guitar pose]

Abe: Where's Dazzle? She's supposed to be in the Fire team as well

Dazzle: (walks in carrying ton of luggage with her) I'm here darling just had to get some things

Abe: [sweatdropped] U sure u didn't move ur entire closet in there?

Linger: Oh don't be so petty, Abey boy. She is my fashion designer as well aftr all. Gotta look good on n off stage [primped their hair] Did u get my sparkling tiara suit as well, sis?

Dazzle: (rolls eyes) Of course Dear.

Loathing: Good luck and be careful.

Abe: Remind me again who else is going on this quest trip?

Linger: If I'm not mistaken, we got Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Lighting, Magma, Plant, Ice, Smoke, Metal, and Crystal. We're going for the basics first, so u and I and Dazzle are heading to the Fire Temple, with Iris as backup, Zest is with Amanda n Dipper to the Earth Temple, and Hope, Miracle n Toni to the Wind Temple with Wonder as backup. N Loathing is here holding the fort. Can't leave the throne empty now, can u?

Abe: Well, neither can Amanda, bt then again she's only going AFTER the suitors ceremony

Loathing: (looks slightly disgusted and slightly annoyed) Ah I forgot about that. Did you summit you list of potential suitors to large hand? Wonder send out hers months ago.

Abe: Technically that suitors ceremony is for Amanda, bt nah, I nvr sent mine. Why should I? [tho his heart felt a little hurt hearing tht Wonder actually sent for suitors]

Linger: Shouldn't u stay behind for the ceremony to escort the suitors to her?

Abe: Nah, Amanda said I didnt hv to. The quest is more important. She's already enlisted Knucklehead to do it, like her way of punishing him for sending out invitations without her permission

Loathing: (notice Abe's mask hurt) You know the damn counsel made her do it Abe. Plus it took her 3 weeks to find ones your sister would like and do fight by her. Even though at the time they weren't on good terms. Wonder never would wish harm on your sister.

Abe: I didnt think it would be important. Amanda made it crystal clear to me tht she was not ready for settling dwn, so I dont wanna betray her trust by finding her boys tht she wouldn't like anyways. Besides aren't u just a teeny bit jealous abt this? U n my sis HAVE been getting rather close since u guys started to train to be future rulers... [grinned at him a little]

Loathing: (look at him flatly at him. Like do you want to die? Look) We maybe acting civil to one another, but I reassure you that there is nothing going on with your sister. You are also forgetting that I have mine after your sister ceremony as well. (You ain't gonna put unwanted feelings on him. Nope)

Abe; Sure, keep telling urself tht. Anyway, gotta run. Help me wish Amanda luck on her suitor ceremony for me [made his way to the ship]

Linger: Buh-bye, Loathe. Dont forget to tune in to the telly if u wanna catch the live broadcast of my show~ [blew Loathing a kiss before they joined Abe into the ship]

Loathing: (rolls his eyes) You better take care of Iris or there will be consequences

Dazzle: (rolls her eyes and whispers) Such a drama queen ~

Loathing: I heard that!

Linger: [sticks their head out of the window] Iris will be fine. U said it urself she needs to get out more. Arent u excited, Iris?

Iris: (looks absolutely bored and going over their agenda) Alright, when we land you have a press conferences and 3 different news stations. Then we have a short lunch. Then (blah blah blah)

Abe: So much for going out more [chuckles] Alright, plcs evryone. Let's go [fired up the ship n flew off]

Young Destiny: The Next Gen Book2 Chp8

Mid afternoon rolled around and the heat was getting unbearable. Bonejangles was already up and was grooming Hope like a good mate, while Wonder was stubborn and still trying to sleep. Toni was texting Abe being a pain mostly to him.

Toni: [text] So, how was it seeing Wonder wild?

Miracle: [was fanning himself trying to catch up on some reading abt the curse n the temple they were heading to]

Hope: [giggled as he allowed himself to be groomed, sitting nxt to Miracle n joined him in his reading]

Abe: [text] Seriously, Toni! Lay off! [tho in real life he was kinda blushing]

Toni: [text] You know if you communicate to your girlfriend about these desires you would be this high strung~ You know she think your sweet spots are tickle spots right.

Wonder: (groaning and sweating, but determined to stay asleep. She was having a nice dream about her becoming a pocket monster master and her and Abe kissing a lot)

Bonejangles: (was picking out dirt and bugs from Hope's fur and eating the bugs)

Miracle: [looking at the dirt n bugs Bonejangles picked out of Hope n cringed, wondering where he got that in the first plc]

Hope: [noticed] Must've got it while we were trekking. No wonder I felt a little itchy. I prolly need a real bath after this. Ugh, u actually eat those, Boney?

Abe: [text] U knw as well as I do that she had only recently figured her life out after clearing things up with Amanda. She's barely holding it together, I can't just jump right into it, we're supposed to take it slow!

Toni: [text] I don't mean jump her furry bones right away Fish Face. I meant actually talking about it. Like how you been sexually stressed. Or what can you two do about it together. You don't have to have sex. She can jerk you off or something IDW!

Wonder: (smiling dreamily) Abe...Zzz

Toni: (look at her with concern) [text] You going to hurt her more by not telling her?

Bonejangles: (thinks Hope is hungry and offers his half eaten bug to him)

Hope: [grimaced] Uhh... No thanks, Boney. I, uh, don't eat bugs

Miracle: [snorted]

Abe: [a pause before text] No, bt I'm scared of hurting her more if I DO tell her. I dunno... [heard Loathing calling for him] I gtg. Time to do our end of the quest. Ttyl

Toni: Oooooo, the idiot going to be the death of me.

Young Destiny: The Next Gen Book2 Chp7

[Meanwhile with the rest of the group]

[When first dawn's light came they move out quickly. To the point where Miracle had to ride Toni's back as they run]

Wonder: [way a head of them both and shouts to them] We're almost there. Hope's scent is really strong!

Toni: [is panting tired] Good. It is like she turn wild cat being here sheesh!

Miracle: [rolled his eyes in a "Can't blame her" way, since he knew she was still being a bit feral evn now, n tht she was in her element. He patted Toni's bk to make her put him dwn so tht he wouldnt let her tire out n tried to keep up with Wonder]

Bonejangles: [sniffs the air and starts to growl]

Wonder: [sniffs the air as well and starts to growl]

[They both speed off going to confront eachother]

Hope: B-Boney? [watched him speed off n saw Wonder incoming] Wait!! Stop!! Don't hurt him!!

Miracle: [heard Hope's voice n pointed towards the direction of the tree house, making short noises to alert Toni]

[As Wonder started to charge her old feral form. Crystals started to cover her lower half and upper arms. When she finished changing Wonder did resembled a wild cat with feline like legs, razor sharp claws for hands, and an extremely long razor sharp tail that was cutting down trees as Wonder charged]

Wonder: [roared. How dare this man violated her baby brother]

Bonejangles: [Belthows out smoke and roars as well. How dare these people take his mate!]

Toni: [stares mouth open] I guess I nail that on the head. [notice Miracle's pointing and looks] HOPE!?

Hope: [sees them coming closer n waved frm the window] Here! Ovr here!

Miracle: [rushes forward, while the two ferals butted heads, made his way to the tree house n got up there, giving him a "Are u OK??" look]

Hope: I'm fine. Reli. No bones broken or anything. Pls, Mira, Toni, u gotta stop Wonder! Its not wat she thinks!

Toni: Uh...I think that be kind hard [stares at the fight]

[Wonder was beating Bonejangles. He tried to suffocate her with his smoke, but Wonder was surprising fast on her crystal feet. Rather than her usual slow self. Wonder however was getting cuts in before he turn to smoke.]

Hope: [was reli worried for Bonejangles as he felt the urge to rush ovr to help him]

Miracle: [was holding onto Hope, giving him a "What do u think ur doing?" look]

Hope: I gotta help him! Its not wat u think! I...I think he might be the guardian of the temple!

Wonder: [trying to deliver the final blow, but Bonejangles kept turning to smoke before she could do it]

Toni: I think she doesn't care about that. If you know what I mean. [giving Hope the stink eye. She smelled Hope and Bonejangles' activities from last night]

Hope: [blushed a little] W-Well... Tht... Tht didnt exactly happen on purpose or anything... [shook his head] bt anyways, we hv to stop her! He maybe the key to the temple! He's got a tattoo tht looked like the one we read in the books! U can kiss our solution to the curse goodbye if she ends up killing him!

Miracle: [bit his lip as he could feel the emotions his twin brother was feeling for Bonejangles, then looked at Toni for her decision]

Toni: [looks in deep thought] We need to find a way to separate them before Wonder kills him. Then calm Wonder down. And I know one guy that can do it. [Fishes out phone and video calls Abe] Yo Fish Face, your girlfriend went jungle cat on Hope's new boy toy.

Abe: [was in the library trying to read up more on the curse n the legends wen his phone buzzed] Huh, wait, wat? Come again? [hears the snarling n fighting sounds] Wat the hell is going on out there?

Hope: [tries to separate Wonder with his wind powers by pushing either her or Bones out of the way, bt they seem to recover vry quickly n was bk at each other's throats]

Toni: Your girlfriend went feral with another jungle kid who is Hope's new boy toy. [she turn the phone towards the battle]

Abe: [sees the fight thru the video] Woah... Wat the...? OK, I'll ask later abt this, bt wat am I supposed to do?

Toni: We're trying to separate them and when we do we need you to talk her down. Cause at this point you are the only on that can.

Wonder: [throws log at Bonejangles]

Toni: Or if you can magically be here 5 minutes that be awesome too.

Abe: [rolled his eyes] Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence there, Ms Sunshine. Right, someone has to hold her dwn while I talk her dwn then

Miracle: [snapped his fingers in realization as he used eye contact to signal Hope to give it his best shot]

Hope: [nodded, getting the msg as he summoned the strongest wind he could muster to swoop both Bones n Wonder off their feet, separating them n causing them to hit the trees]

Miracle: [got out of the treehouse in a jiff, raced to the trees nearest to the fighting duo n slammed his hands onto one of the trees n summoned vines to engulf them, leaving only their heads sticking out]

Wonder: [she was already slashing her way out. Roaring]

Bonejangles: [struggling to get out]

Toni: Oh Gob [hurries to Wonder before she free herself and make Bonejangles into mince meat] Hurry [pants] and talk to her, Fish Face! [Shoves video phone into Wonder's face]

Hope: [rushes to Bonejangles n held his face] Calm dwn, Boney. It's OK. I'm here. Calm dwn pls

Abe: Wonder? Wonder! Calm dwn, look at me. Look at me, Wonder! It's me, Abe. Wonder!!

Wonder: [Wonder just roared at the phone. Her eyes completely glowing sea foam color. She look more like a wild animal than his girlfriend.]

Toni: [winces] So, this is what the Big Bone Head dealt with trying to bring Wonder back. Yeesh!

Abe: [sighed, taking it as a cue tht he had to use his hidden power, something he rarely use n only Amanda knws he has it. Taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth n let out some sort of soothing call, like a sonic wave tht sounded like a cross btwn a killer whale n a dolphin, the phone amplifying it thru Wonder's ears]

Wonder: [starts to calm down. Growling and hiss at the phone.]

Toni: [snickers] Are you sure you are not part whale?

Abe: Ugh, it's a last resort thing. I found out I had this gift wen I had to calm Captain Tim. Something to do with his fav toy being blown up in one of Loathing's experiments. I think I got this frm our birth mom [turns bk to Wonder n continues to make those sounds to calm her more]

[Suddenly Wonders breaks out]

Toni: Oh Flob! [Drops phone to get away]

Wonder: [catches the phone and starts to lightly bats it. She was purring loudly acting like a kitten. She ascendantly activated the holoform function and crouches down playfully. Wonder was giving Abe and eyeful of her assets.]

Abe: [at Wonder's angle, he could practically see her cleavage n her panties as he blushed hard, holding his nose to try n not get a nosebleed] Th-There, there, its me, Abe. Calm dwn, Wonder. Its alright. No fighting, OK? [reaches his arm to "pet" Wonder's head, evn tho he's in holoform]

Hope: [hugs Bonejangles head close] Its OK, its OK. They're my family. My friends. We don't hurt family and friends, do we? Calm dwn, I'm right here [stroke his chin gently]

Wonder: [rub against him like a cat purring loudly]

Bonejangles: [starts to calm down but sees an opening to attack Wonder. Turning to smoke, Bonejangles gets out of the vines and lunges at Wonder.]

Wonder: [looks obvious until Bonejangles in range and gives him a fierce upper cut. She knocks him out. Standing up and eyes return back to normal. All feralness gone and as well as her extra crystal armor starts to crumble away.]

Toni: [snickers at Abe] Good job Fish Face! [Then she points to his large tent] I guess you like them wild?

Hope: Ack!! Boney~!! [runs to Bonejangles to chk the damage n sighed in relief to see tht he was only KO-ed] Geez, sis, u dont hold bk, do u?

Abe: [blushed hard as he grabbed his robe to cover himself] Shaddup [cleared his throat as he watched Wonder slowly coming to her senses] Well, it seems tht evrything seems to be in order. U alright, Wonder?

Wonder: [turns to look at him and smiles sadly] Thanks again from stopping me. I didn't really want you guys to see me like that. [She sighs and look at her appearance. Her tank and shorts are ripped badly, she was covered in mud and some blood, and she had twigs and leaves in her hair and fur] Wow, I look disgusting probably. [Then she stared at Hope and Bonejangles hard] Hope was it really consensual and are you plan staying together?

Hope: [pouted at her] Of course it was. If it wasnt, I wouldnt hv stopped u frm hurting him now, would I? [blushed a little] Stay together? I... I dunno...

Miracle: [smiled as he could tell tht his twin was starting to get attached to this albino skeletor]

Wonder: Yes or No Hope. This is important.

Hope: [glared at her] Wats important is that I think he's the Guardian of the Wind Temple. Look [showed them his tattoo] Look familiar? Frm the books?

Miracle: [sees the tattoo n nodded] He's onto something. I think this Skeletor can lead us to where we need to go

Wonder: [sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. Then goes over to Bonejangles and lift him up. Then smack him awake]

Bonejangles: [groans and looks at Wonder weakly]

Wonder: You took Brother. Mate him. Want him Court! Didn't do that. Me boss. Me protect. You have luck. Brother want. Court right. Or else. [Then she let him go and he slumped to the ground. And head over to the others.]

Bonejangles: [even though he was treated roughly, he was smiling like he won the lottery. He pounced on Hope and started to cuddle even with his injuries]

Hope: Gee, be more tactful, why don't u? [rolled his eyes at Wander n giggled at Bonesjangles' cuddles] Heh, guess u got the green light frm my family. Come, lets get ur wounds treated [took Bones' hand n led him bk to the tree house] C'mon up, guys. Let's take a breather here. U should totally chk out his home

Miracle: [chuckled humorously as he followed behind his twin, going up the tree house along with him]

Wonder: [when they left, she slumps a little. She was emotionally and mentally exhausted]

Toni: Uh...What with the cave man speak and rough stuff? It not you usually?

Abe: [was still online] It's her maternal/sisterly instincts kicking in. I think she was being overprotective mode wen she thought Hope was in trouble. One of her many outbursts that caused her to be feral, I suppose. U gonna be OK, Wondy?

Wonder: [sighs] Actually it is none of those reasons. Me and him are like almost the same species. I had to be rough with him or he will think we are weaklings and try to take over. I did that bit to assert myself as Alpha so he wouldn't do that. At least he wasn't as bad as I was. I saw Mom as prey and tried to eat him. Dad had to fight me a few days before I summited.

Toni: [bug eyed] Wow...

Abe: Oi vey...

Miracle: [poked his head out of the tree house window n waved at them, making a sound as if to ask them "U coming?"]

Abe: I guess my work here is done. Linger, Dazzle and I will leave for our mission first thing tomorrow morning. Hope u guys get lucky [petted Wonder's head n smiled] Over n out [signed out of the call]

Wonder: [pick up the phone and dialed Loathing up] Toni go up a head. I need to talk to Loathing.

Toni: Uh, Why?

Wonder: Even though Bonejangles is the guardian of this temple, he can't help us with the ritual.

Toni: [looks shocked] What?! Why?!

Wonder: Cause he is a smoke elemental. We need 5 wind elementals to do the ritual.

Toni: Then you are calling the Diva to get them?

Wonder: that won't work. [She gazed at the damage temple] Did you know during the Mad King's Rule, he demanded taxes and women from villages and temples? Those who refused got themselves destroyed.

Toni: Then you think?

Wonder: Yes, and it also explains why Bonejangles have the guardian symbol. After a child is created at the temple they are branded with the guardian symbol. However when they turn six and get their horns and powers and its different element than the temples, the temple negotiate with another with the child's element. It is a joyous and bittersweet occasion. The child gets a secondary guardian symbol from its new temple and goes live there. Until they finish completing their training they can't return home.

Toni: Then why are you calling Loathing?

Wonder: To see if they're survivors. They could have not return here thinking its was completely destroyed.

Hope: [was already starting to disinfect n bandage some of Bonejangles' wounds as he waited for Toni n Wonder to come up]

Miracle: [explored the treehouse to chk things out]

Later Toni went up to the tree house while Wonder talk to Loathing for a few hours.

Wonder: [finally climbs into the treehouse]

Bonejangles: Alpha! [Is happy and loud]

Hope: [turned to see Wonder come up] Wat took u so long?

Miracle: [signed with a grin] Probably having some private time convo with Abe~?

Wonder: {I wish} [she then slumped into a pile of leaves]

Bonejangles: [acted like a puppy following Wonder]

Toni: [laughs at them]

Hope: Hey! Come bk here! I'm not with u yet, Boney! [was a little jealous tht Bones was suddenly so clingy with Wonder. Managed to get him to sit still n bandage the rest of his wounds] Wat's the deal with this Alpha business anyways?

Wonder: He sees me as the boss. As a new member of the pack he trying to get on my good side as well trying to prove himself [mumbles]

Hope: Huh, I see. Well, he doesn't reli need to prove to me tht he's a good lover [blushed a little as he finished the last of the bandages] So wat exactly was the hold up dwn there? Toni said u were on the phone with Loathing

Wonder: [pretends to not hear him and starts to snore]

Toni: we don't need to hear about your love life. I think she meant Lover Boy have to himself to Wonder.

Miracle: [snorts a little]

Hope: [rolled eyes] Bt seriously tho, why did Wonder needed to contact tht diva?

Toni: [Starts to go to sleep as well] All be reviled later ~

Hope: [stared at Miracle, who in turn shrugged n then more or less continued their day with dining, playtime n exploring the vicinity]

Young Destiny: The Next Gen Book2 Chp6

[morning came as the sun streamed into the treehouse. Bonejangles n Hope had been at it like rabbits all evening and all night, with a couple of snacks in btwn, n now they were all curled up inside wat looks like the bedroom of the treehouse n under the covers of an old futon n some old quilts tht Bonejangles probably stole frm some other camping grounds in the past]

Hope: [winced at the light streaming into the room n buried underneath the quilt] Nnnhh... 5 more mins, Mama...

Bonejangles: [just grunts in his sleep and pulls Hope closer to him. Making him his teddy]

Hope: [stirred a little n realized he was in the arms of the skeletor] {Huh... So it wasnt a dream... I wonder how did u end up here in this wilderness... Did someone abandon u here in the jungle as a child? Tht's cruel if they did...} [studied Bonejangles' features carefully, tracing his finger along his arm, before he noticed some kind of symbol on his arm tht seemed oddly familiar, like he had seen it in the books Loathing was researching on]

Bonejangles: [cuddle with him some more. He did not want to get up]

Hope: [giggled at how clingy Bonejangles was n whispered to himself] Man... Can't believe my first time is with an albino skeletor, n we only just met... I guess this is wat it means by love at first sight, or should I say lust at first sight [giggled again, then continued to trace his finger along the tattoo on Bonejangles' arm] Vry familiar tho... Can't put my finger on wat it is...

Bonejangles: [grogglily wakes up. He notice Hope tracing his tattoo. Without alerting Hope he get close] Hoope.

Hope: Hey, Boney. Good morning. U good? [chuckled at his cute groggy face]

Bonejangles: [licks Hope's cheek and purrs] [He was very good]

Hope: [giggled] I'll take tht as a yes. Listen, I knw we had fun n all, bt I'm traveling with my family, n they're gonna be worried abt me, wat with u abducting me off n all. Could we...u knw, at least let them knw I'm OK?

Bonejangles: [growls mildly and hug Hope close to him he didn't want to let him go]
