[A few days later, Wander's siblings hv all left to continue their journey. They said their goodbyes n promised to keep in touch more often in the future, exchanging personal contacts. Another week went by, and Hater n Wander were all set to leave for their honeymoon. After some last min additional packing, the Wander family were seeing them off]
Hater: R u sure ur fine with it? We could just bring the kids along if u want
Wildflower: Nonsense! Its ur time! I'm perfectly capable of looking after a litter. Besides Wander has pumped enough milk to last throughout ur week-long honeymoon. The litter is at a stage where they don't eat as much, so don't worry. Besides, I hv Hugo here to help me out as well [gestured at Hugo, the only sibling who hasn't left yet]
Hugo: :) I've had practice looking after those other little kids.
Wander: If you say so. (kneels to the litter's height) You kids be good, listen to Grammy, Grampy and Uncle Hugo, alright?
Litter: [made baby noises, as if replying him]
Hater: We'll be bk before u knw it, OK? [gives the litter a big kiss]
Wildflower: Alright, alright, time's a-wasting! U kids go hv fun. We'll be perfectly fine with these little angels here
Angel: And you be taking care of each other as well.
Wander: Yes, Papa.
Peepers: Ship's ready, Sir.
Hater: Thanks, Peepers. Tell the crew that they're on break until we come bk, but u keep them in line. No wild parties, no unauthorised outgoing calls n no destruction of property. I am not going to deal with the bill the LAST time I gave u guys a break
Peepers: ^^; Y-yes, Sir. (remembers last time clearly)...(still a bit sulky that everyone had someone to love, but him)
Hater: [didn't reli notice as he was busy loading the last luggage into the ship] U ready, Wander?
Wander: (notices the tone in Peepers' voice)...Yes, Hater. Ready.
Hater: [took Wander's hand n led him into the ship] Bye, evryone
Wildflower: Bye~! [waved goodbye to them]
Litter: Bah...!! [copies their grandma]
Wander: ^^ (waves bye-bye back to litter)
Hater: [revs up the ship, gave one last wave to evryone n flew off]
Wildflower: [stayed till the ship was merely a speck in the horizon] Well, tht's settled. Time for u kiddies to take a bath~<3 [carries the litter bk into the house to give them a bath]
Sylvia: [was helping Peepers with the ship before n watched them leave] Looks like our buddies r off to enjoy their sweet, sweet honeymoon. Huzzah! Break time!
Peepers: Yup. -_- (still feeling sulky)
Sylvia: [noticed] Wat's up with u? U've been pretty dwn since Wander's wedding
Peepers: >> If I tell you, you won't laugh at me?
Sylvia: [gasped] R u having a crush on Hater and/or Wander n now ur in a jealous fit? [jumped into a random conclusion abt his sulkiness]
Peepers: O_O WHAT, NO!...I mean, no, it's just...they've got each other to love, you and Awesome are still in denial...when's going to be my turn for love?
Sylvia: [blinked for a moment] Wow... I didnt knw u thought like tht. I've always thought tht ur either secretly in love with Hater, the way u go abt with his evry beck and call, or ur just plain asexual
Peepers: >> I was just extremely loyal after what he did for us, that's all.
Sylvia: Fair enough. But why the rush? Ur the one who's always telling Hater wen he has love troubles tht true love will come by itself in time, n u say tht all ur other comrades who also has love troubles. Tht's not exactly practicing wat u preach there
Peepers: I just...feel lonely...I just have someone I work with, not someone I can call my own...
Sylvia: Take ur own advice. Love will come. Maybe not now, bt in time [patted his head]
Peepers: (sighs) I suppose so... >> Still doing your date with Awesome?
Sylvia: -____-** Its NOT a date, n for the record... [flicked at Peepers' head] I am NOT in denial [stomps off bk to the mother ship]
Peepers: >< Ow. (watches her stomp off)...Whatever you say, Miss Denial!
Sylvia: [fumed a moment as she made her way to Awesome's quarters, bt the closer she went, the less fuming she was n the more nervous she got. By the time she was in front of his door, she was having huge second thoughts abt this] think: {Dammit, Sylvia, u dug this grave urself, now just jump in n get it ovr with!} [her hand still hovering at the door tho, not sure whether to knock]
Awesome: (listening to his ipod music) ^^ (senses someone's presence)...Yo, someone there?
Sylvia: [her breath hitched for a second, then she took a deep breath] think: {Suck it up, Sylvia! Its now or nvr} Umm, yeah, it's me, Sylvia
Awesome: (pauses his ipod music) Come in.
Sylvia: [took a moment before she opened the door, bt didnt reli step inside, just stood within the door frame] Umm, so, uhh, I just sent Hater n Wander off for their honeymoon, so everyone on this ship is on breaktime, n Wildflower looks like she's got enough assistance frm Hugo, so... R u still on for this trip to Planet Las Vegas?
Awesome: Yeah, I'm still good to go.
Sylvia: Great! I'll just grab some cash frm my room n some travel food n we can get going
Awesome: :) I can grab some cash too. (still holding his ipod)
Sylvia: Right, uh, so see u at the pod ship port in 15 mins?
Awesome: Yup.
Sylvia: Right, so...cya then [nodded before leaving to get her stuff, quietly wishing to herself tht she had done the right thing]
Awesome: (blushes a little as well...)
