Broken Pieces-Chp81

[An hour later, dinner was ready, n everyone made their way to the dining room, which was huge n laid a feast for everyone]

Hater: Extravagant as usual

Sylvia: Not that I'm complaining [licked her lips]

Jeeves: We took the liberty of locating ur staff members of ur ship, Young Master Hater. They're at the other dining hall right now enjoying dinner

Hater: Thanks, Jeeves

Wander: (to Jeeves) Will there be any veggie plates possibly?

Hater: Oh yeah, forgot to tell u, he's vegetarian

Jeeves: Don't worry, so is Loathe. Some new health regime she's going thru. There will be veggie dishes here

Wander: That's good. :)

Jeeves: I almost forgot. Young Mistress Loathe n Young Master Grimm came with their spouses, so they'll be joining us for dinner as well

Hater: Great. More fodder for them to rub my face in

Wander: Hater... ^^; (even though he himself was unsure about Loathe and Grimm at this point)

Loathe: My ears r burning~! Is someone talking abt me?

[Everyone turned to see Hater's family coming in, n two new strangers that they can only assume are Loathe n Grimm's spouses]

Archimedes: (goes over to Loathe) Hello there, my dear~

Loathe: Archie, my dear~ (heart) (heart)  Did u enjoy the jacuzzi pool?

Archimedes: Of course, felt nice.

Wander: (raising an eyebrow)

Hater: [stared at Archimedes, trying to figure out wat species he is]

Archimedes: (has blue neon skin, bright pink eyes, long silver hair and large bat-like wings from his back and was wearing a black uniform)

Hater: [whispers to Peepers] He looks kinda familiar. Wat species is he?

Peepers: That's one of them Batarians, Sir.

Hater: I see

Loathe: [noticed Hater staring n turns to him] Oh where r my manners. This is my hubby Archimedes, ruler of the 3rd galaxy originated frm Planet Batari. Archie, this is my younger brother Hater n his wife, Wander, a Star Nomad

Hater: Charmed [held out his hand to shake]

Archimedes: (pauses a moment)... (shakes hand also) Charmed as well.

Wander: (holding out hand as well, but doesn't get one) ...^^;

Terry: (next to Grimm) ^^ Nice to be with my Grimmy Whimmy. (is a chubby lizard-like alien with pale green skin, yellow eyes with slit pupils and wearing a white robe; a Lizzerian)

Grimm: Hey there, Terry [nuzzled him] Hater, this is my wife, Terry frm Planet Lizzeria. Ain't he a beaut? Terry, this is my older brother

Hater: [was a little annoyed tht Archimedes didnt bother to shake his hand, bt just nodded at Terry] Heya

Terry: :) It's nice meeting all of you.

Wander: And, uh...hi there too...?

Terry: :O Oh is that one of them Star Nomads?

Grimm: Oh yeah [looked at Wander in slight distaste] Yeah, tht's my older brother's wife. Wanda, is it?

Hater: It's "Wander", u nitwit [mumbled the last word under his breath]

Wander: (getting a little concerned that they still don't like him)

Fury: [enters with Anguish] Everyone here? Lets get started with dinner then [made his way to his seat at the head of the table]

Loathe: [wrapped her arms ard Archimedes' arm n made their way to her designated seat]

Grimm: [took Terry's hand n does so as well]

Hater: [took Wander's hand n chose a seat tht is one chair away frm Grimm n his wife]

Wander: (sits with Hater, and glances towards Grimm and waved a little but only got a frown from the Skeletor)

Grimm: [scoffed n refused to make eye contact with Wander]

[everyone else settled in to their own chosen seats, n the hired help comes in to help them serve food]

Fury: So, Loathe, how's life treating u these days at Planet Batari?

Loathe: Oh, u wouldnt believe the things tht goes on these days... [proceed to elaborately blab abt the recent events tht happened while being the wife of the ruler of the 3rd galaxy]

Awesome: (picking at his food)

Peepers: (simply chewing)

Wander: (is feeling awkward)...

Sylvia: [tuned out her blabbing, eating away like nobody's business]

Brad: [rolled his eyes n sipped his drink quietly]

Grimm: Hah, tht's nothing. Wait till u hear wat we did... [also joined in the conversation n bragged abt his stuff]

Hater: [sighed quietly, this scene all too familiar to him]

Wander: (trying to figure out which fork to use but shrugged, and quickly used his hand as a fork, getting some food)

Loathe: [snorts in distaste wen she sees Wander using his hands] We dont use hands on the table, young man

Grimm: I knew it. Such uncouth species...

Hater: [glared at him] Shut up. He's just not used to our way of eating, leave him alone [helps Wander to pick a fork to eat, whispering] Its this one, my star

Wander: (takes it) Right, gotcha, thanks, Hatey. ^^;

Grimm: Heh, ur fault then for not teaching ur "precious" wife proper manners. Am I right, Mother?

Loathe: [chuckled, then noticed Brad sitting nxt to Peepers] Hold up there, Hater. I heard tht guy there is ur second in command's slave. Do u allow slaves at ur table now?

Peepers: All I did was save him from an auction, thank you very much.

Awesome: And who she calling slaves? >_>

Anguish: Be nice, you two. And that includes towards your brother's wife, understand?

Brad: [growled under his breath, feeling the urge to stick a spork into Loathe's eye]

Hater: He technically is bought frm a slave trade auction, bt he's not a slave. Not to me, he isn't. He's one of us, so u treat him as such

Loathe: Hmph, probably a sex slave, no doubt. I'd recognize tht collar he's wearing anywhere. Tht's Smog's work

Brad: [stands up abruptly n left the table, fuming]

Peepers: :O Brad! (follows after him)

Wander:... (glares at both Grimm and Loathe)... And I suppose you'd both be the type to leave an abusive person behind as well, laughing and mocking them like it's something FUNNY?! (is losing his paitience at this point)

Loathe: Well someone didn't learn how to properly discipline a slave, letting him walk out like tht

Grimm: N someone here decides to run his tongue off like tht again, not knwing his plc

Hater: Shut up, Grimm. Just bcoz ur the new Lord of Skeletor doesnt give u the right to lord ovr evryone as if they're beneath u. N u, Loathe, now tht ur the wife of a ruler, u think ur all so high n mighty, aren't u?

Fury: ENOUGH! Grimm, Loathe. I've taught u better than this. Apologize at once

Loathe: I can't believe u! Ur taking a friggin' stranger's side ovr family?

Grimm: Mother, say something

Anguish: Can we all please just settle down?-

Wander: (had enough and tossed his glass of water, spraying Loathe first)

Awesome: :o Uh oh.

Archimedes: Dear you alright?? :O

Loathe: [was stunned for a second, then stood up abruptly] Oh that is IT! U asked for it, u ugly piece of furball!! [activated her powers, which was yellow, in contrast with Hater n Grimm's powers]

Hater: U touch a hair on my wife, its ur head! [activated his powers]

Grimm: Bring it on!! {activated his powers as well]

Sylvia: I think dinner's ovr. Lets get outta here [tries to get Wildflower n Angel to safety]

Wander: (pulls back, seeing Hater and his siblings about to go at each other...this wasn't how he wanted it to go...fighting tears, he quickly fled the room, slamming the door behind him)

Hater: :O Wander! [glared at his siblings] Now see wat u did!

Loathe: Wat I did?! HE started it first! Dont go blaming it on me, u attention-whore!!

Grimm: Yeah! U leave us for a decade n now u come bk here expecting to act as if nothing is wrong?! Fuck u!! [shot at him, barely nicked Hater's side]

Terry: Grimmy!

Archimedes: Loathe, honey-

Anguish: ALL OF YOU JUST STOP IT NOW!!

[the siblings were deaf to their pleas, starting to shoot their powers at each other, almost ruining the dining room. The hired help had all fled for safety]

Fury: ENOUGH!!! [activated his gauntlet gloves n slammed the table, the powers caused the siblings to be pinned dwn by force]

Awesome: :O (watching with Sylvia from a safe distance)

Fury: [glowered at the siblings who were struggling to get up] Look at wat u did to the dining room!! LOOK!! [gestured at the decimated room] We r here to hv a civilized dinner n all of u hv to run ur mouths like tht! Grimm, Loathe, I taught u better than this! U were NOT supposed to use ur power n authority n title to belittle ppl! Being married to a ruler that rules a GALAXY has spoiled u, Loathe, n letting u take the throne has spoiled u too, Grimm! N YOU [looked at Hater, bt didnt knw wat to say, released them all] Maybe... Maybe u shouldnt hv come home...

Hater: [coughed as he got up] I nvr evn wanted to come home in the first plc!! We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning!! N I'm not coming bk again, EVER!! [storms out of the room, slamming the door behind him]

Sylvia: Umm... Thanks for dinner...? [awkwardly inched her way out of the room with Awesome]

Awesome: Y-yeah, nice to...eat and run, :D that's it. (leaves quickly with Sylvia)

Fury: [sighed as he massaged the bridge of his nose]

Loathe: [huffed as she gets up, stomps out of the room]

Grimm: [scoffed as well] Lets go, Terry [takes his hand n leaves]

Terry: :( ... (pulls back) How DARE you, Grimmy.

Grimm: [blinked in surprise] How dare me? Wat r u talking abt?

Terry: You KNOW well how I feel about people being belittled when they mean no harm, and you have the nerve of doing that to that poor nomad. He could've gone through something horrific and you've made it worse for him. Including your own brother!

Grimm: [frowned] Et tu, huh, Terry? N I thought u understood me... Fine, if u think tht way, ur sleeping by urself tonight [left the room]

Fury: [sighed again n turns to Archimedes] Go chk on Loathe n see to it she doesnt do anything stupid [turns to the hired help] Clean up this plc [leaves the dining room]

Terry: ... ;(

Archimedes: (sighs) Indeed... (goes to search for Loathe)

(outside)

Wander: (was still running, having stopped by the edge of a deep lake breathing heavily and choking back heavy tears; he didn't want it to turn out this way...he had ruined everything...)

Hater: [was looking for Wander for quite a while before he saw him at the lake, thinking the worse] Wander, no! Don't do it! [was jumping into conclusions out of fear for him]

Wander: ...I shouldn't have talked you into all this... ;( Just wanted you being happy with your family, but instead... they don't like me, they don't even want me or you around... it's my fault, isn't it, like it's always been??

Hater: [reached ovr to pick him up n hugged him close] No, no, no... Shh... U meant well, its not ur fault. Its their fault for not understanding u, for judging u before getting to knw u. I dont knw wat they've been thru or wat my parents taught them, bt they're usually not like this. I dunno wat changed. They used to be annoying, bt now they're just... I'm sorry u had to go thru tht... [hushed n rubbed his bk, rocking him]

Wander: (sniffling heavy tears, embracing Hater tightly) I'm sorry, I'm sorry... ;(

Hater: Shh... Its OK... Its OK... We're leaving tomorrow morning. We'll leave n it'll be all ovr. U dont hv to go thru tht again

Wander: (swallows, still holding the skeletor, hiccuping a little)

Hater: [carries Wander in his arms as he brought him bk inside the mansion, hushing n rubbing his bk all the way]

Wander: (slowly settles down, feeling sleepy from all the crying)

Hater: [hummed near his ear, lulling him to sleep as they reached their room, where he excused the hired help who were babysitting the litters n lay Wander in bed, lying dwn beside him n falling asleep nxt to him]

Wander: (sighs in a bittersweet way, huggling next to Hater for the rest of the night)
