[one mth has passed since then, n the gang gave it another 2 weeks, n as Sylvia feared, Peepers still hv yet to return]
Sylvia: (pacing constantly) :(
Wander: Syl~ Ur gonna wear a hole thru the floor like tht
Sylvia: But he hasn't come back yet, let alone let us know what he's doing!!
Wander: He did say it's a personal leave, he has no obligation to tell ppl wat he's doing, it's his private life
Sylvia: I know, but I can't help worrying...!
Wander: Well, we did also say tht if he didnt come bk at a promised time, we'd go looking for him. Maybe I should tell Hatey to get started
Sylvia: (nod) Alright then.
Wander: [goes to Hater's gaming room where he watches him beat another obstacle course level] Ooh, who r u fighting this time? Did I miss the cut scene?
Hater: (gets game over) -_- Doesn't matter now. Peepers is still not back, is he?
Wander: Nope. Been one mth, 2 weeks n 3 days
Hater: Well, looks like another search and rescue mission we have to do.
Wander: Yeah, n this time its Peepers. Tho I wouldnt call it rescue. I hv a feeling he's not reli in trouble or anything
Hater: But still, you'd never know. Just like...(lowers his head) like when we didn't know if YOU were okay, or... :(
Wander: [takes his hand] Its gonna be OK. Peepers is a tough guy. I'm sure he's not in trouble. We'll find him n he'll probably be in some plc chilling
Hater:... Right, we should get going. He's out there somewhere.
Wander: [nodded] Yeah, Sylvia is pretty much worried sick abt him
Hater: She loves him that much, huh?
Wander: Heh, yeah. Seems like it. Who'd hv thought, huh?
Hater: Guess it just happens in strange ways... Anyhow, got to find Peepers' location.
Wander: How r u gonna do tht? He didnt evn leave any address behind or watnot
Hater: (paces) True, but there must've been SOME sort of planet he always had interest in... One of his favorites, at least...
Wander: [thought abt it] I thought u would knw, or at least maybe u hv a tracking device on his craft? Like how u tracked me dwn?
Hater:... Yeah, I think I remember doing that with his ship...
Wander: U could chk it out n see if u can track him thru tht
Hater: Right. (goes to do so with Wander following)
Wander: [followed behind, then sat nxt to him at the navigation room while Hater did his work]
Hater: (checking)... Getting a faint signal.
Wander: Sweet [felt his stomach a little out of sorts, bt shrugged it off, assuming its indigestion]
Hater: (brings up on the screen the planet where Peepers could be) This should be his location.
Wander: [looked up] Huh... Planet Genma 4.0? Tht's a new plc. Nvr been there before. U think he'd be there?
Hater: I'm hoping so, too. Otherwise your friend will be causing holes in my floors. ^^;;
Wander: (giggle) True tht. Lets set course to his destination then
Hater: (does so)... You feeling okay?
Wander: [looked up at him] Huh? Yeah, I'm good. Why do u ask?
Hater: Look kinda squeamish... (feels his horehead) Do you feel sick?...
Wander: Just a bit of indigestion, I guess. Nothing serious. Must be the jellyfish pie I tried to eat last night. Suddenly felt like eating it, evn tho I didnt like it [shrugged] I'll be fine
Hater: If you're sure...
Wander: [nodded] I'm sure. So r we gonna go there soon?
Hater: (nod) Yeah, we should get going as soon as we can.
Wander: I'll go let Sylvia knw then [gets off the chair n made his way to look for Sylvia]
Sylvia: (still pacing and looks up to see Wander) Anything?
Wander: We found his ship at this planet called Genma 4.0. Hater is gonna charter a course to go there now
Sylvia: (nod) That's good... (blinks) You're looking a little warm, buddy...
Wander: [blinked] Not u too. Hater mentioned it too. I'm fine, reli, just a little indigestion
Sylvia: Wander... (feels his forehead) No fever, but perhaps you should let me and Hater handle this. You go see if his medic can figure out the problem.
Wander: |-( Fine~ If it makes u two feel better. Just be gentle on Peeps wen u find him, OK?
Sylvia: I'll try. (pets his head and goes to see Hater)
Wander: [sighed n shook his head, smiling weakly at the way both of his friends were such worried warts ovr him]

Tears of The Rose-Chp23
[meanwhile, wen Sylvia went to where Peepers was working, bt he was not there, bt there was a note]
Sylvia: ? What the...? (Takes down note and reads it)
Note: To Lord Hater, I'm taking a personal leave of absence for the nxt whole mth. I just need some time to think things thru n clear my head. Dont come looking for me until I'm ready. Love, Peepers
Sylvia: :o... (Hurries back to Hater and Wander)
Wander: [was feeding Hater a piece of cheesecake] Say "Aahh~" :D
Hater: Heh, :) (opens mouth)
Sylvia: (enters) Guys, guys!
Wander: [turns to Sylvia's call, his spoon still in mid-air] Syl? Wats wrong?
Hater: Did Peepers?-
Sylvia: (gives them note) He left this!
Wander: [read the note] :O Oh my...
Hater: He'd usually tell me before he...(groans) It's because of me telling him that...
Sylvia: You think??
Wander: I think we should let him be. He just got his heart broken, n I think he needs the personal space. It would just hurt him more if he stayed on n see us everyday with issues unresolved...
Hater: Guess so... He can do fine on his own.
Sylvia: But what if he CAN'T?? He may be tough but he's still... This just... (Is pacing, muttering in worry)
Wander: Syl, this is something he needs to deal alone. If u go looking for him n bother him, ur basically pressuring him to return ur feelings wen he's not ready. Neither of u would be happy
Sylvia: (makes fists)... True... Just hope he knows what he's doing... :(
Wander: We'll give him his one mth, n if he doesn't return by at least 2 weeks after the promised date, we can go look for him
Sylvia: ... Alright.
Hater: Yeah.
Wander: Btw Syl, Hatey n I r getting married, like officially married :)
Sylvia: :) Good to hear for you two. (But sighs, still worried for Peepers) :(
Wander: [patted her shoulder to comfort her] Wanna hv something to drink at least?
Sylvia:... Okay.
Hater: (is also concerned about Peepers, but he trusted the watchdog to take care of himself)
Sylvia: ? What the...? (Takes down note and reads it)
Note: To Lord Hater, I'm taking a personal leave of absence for the nxt whole mth. I just need some time to think things thru n clear my head. Dont come looking for me until I'm ready. Love, Peepers

Tears of The Rose-Chp22
[after a couple of days of recuperation (n a LONG bath to clean themselves, Wander urged Hater to go talk to Peepers while he went off to the cafeteria to get a decent meal after a whole week of just snacks btwn sex]
Hater: (steps into the room where Peepers is working, as usual) Peepers... do you have a minute?
Peepers: [tensed a little as he could tell frm Hater's tone tht they were going to hv "the talk", bt took a deep breath n sighed, turning to him] Yeah, I can spare a few, sir
Hater: (crossed his arms)... Look, C Peeps... I know you're still upset about me and Wander being together, but... (sighs) I also knew about you...liking me.
Peepers: [a slight pause] ....If u knew, why didnt u say anything? Why didnt u acknowledge it? U knw how much time n effort, how much I've sacrificed to be with u, to meet ur every demand. Why can't u return my feelings?
Hater: You... (sighs) You just weren't my preferred type...
Peepers: [felt his heart break at those words n looked dwn, trying to fight his tears away]
Hater: I'm sorry, C Peeps... (Reaches to touch his shoulder in comfort)
Peepers: [flinched, jerking Hater's hand away with his shoulder] Don't! Just... don't...
Hater:... I'll let you get back to your thing... (Leaves, feeling bad but it was done)
Peepers: [sat dwn on his chair n buried his face in his hands, sobbing quietly] ;(
(In cafeteria)
Sylvia: (watching Wander munching on his meal) Sure were hungry, weren't you?
Wander: Heh, we didnt reli eat properly for the entire week, so yeah [stuffed a piece of kidney bean pie into his mouth]
Sylvia: I see.
Wander: [noticed something on her] Syl? U sound a little dwn. U OK?
Sylvia: I did confess...but it didn't feel like he felt the same... :(
Wander: Oooh, u confessed? U got guts there, Syl. Bt tht's too bad. I was sure he felt the same way for u
Sylvia: Still had his mind on Hater.
Wander: Oh. I urged Hater to talk to him. Hopefully he could get thru him
Sylvia: Oh bet that'll go well.
Hater: (had entered) No, not well...
Wander: [looked up to him] Hatey! Not well? Wat did u say to him?
Hater: (sighs) Mostly along the lines of he wasn't my preferred type.
Sylvia: Yeah?
Wander: -__- Just tht? U just told him tht? I thought u guys would do a sit-dwn long heart-to-heart talk...
Hater: He didn't want to talk to me after that.
Sylvia: Hmm... (gets up to go see Peepers)
Wander: Aww... :( Syl? Where u going?
Sylvia: I'll see if I can get through to that Pipsqueak.
Hater: Good luck on that. |-(
Wander: Hatey~ [nudged him] Give her a chance
Hater: ... Alright then
Sylvia: (nod) I can handle it. (Leaves the two)
Wander: Wanna share some of my food? U must be starved aftr a week of "rigorous exercise" (giggle)
Hater: Sure, I've been getting hungry too. (sits with him)
Wander: [moved some of the food to Hater n went n ordered some more]
Hater: (starts eating)
Hater: (steps into the room where Peepers is working, as usual) Peepers... do you have a minute?

(Back in Hater's room)
Hater: (cuddling with Wander after yet another orgasm)... Hey, Wan...?
Wander: [nuzzled in his arms] Nnhh... Yes, Hatey...?
Hater: (nuzzles him back) I think...there's still some stuff we haven't tried, but only if you feel comfortable with it.
Wander: [looked up to him] Hnn? Like wat?
Hater: Well, there's this...position I've seen online a few times, so... (flushes in embarrasment)
Wander: Ohh, Hatey, u sassy man~ Wat do u hv in mind?
Hater: Well... (pulls Wander on top of him, lowering his boxers yet again) You, um...need to turn around for this one.
Wander: Umm, OK...? [does so, his bk facing Hater]
Hater: (smiles, lifting Wander's hips and leaning up to tease his pussy)
Wander: [twitched at the feeling, whining out] Nnhh, wat r u...?
Hater: (hums) Now you need to do the same to me... (holds his cock towards Wander) Use either your hands or your mouth.
Wander: [blushed as he took Hater's cock into his mouth, sucking n teasing it, using his hands to hold the rest tht couldnt fit his mouth]
Hater: (moans at the attention he was given, still tasting Wander's pussy)
Wander: [whimpered at Hater's tongue all ovr his pussy, almost couldnt concentrate at blowing Hater as he tried his best to bob his head up n dwn Hater's cock]
Hater: (has one hand stroke through Wander's fur and he began to tongue-fuck the nomad)
Wander: [moaned as he continued to blow Hater, taking as much as his mouth could fit n kept bobbing, his hands stroking the rest of the huge cock]
Hater: (hums) That's it~ (goes as deep as he can inside Wander)
Wander: [his pussy started clenching wen Hater's tongue pushed in deeper as he sucked at Hater's cock harder]
Hater: Nnn~ (is feeling close, pumping his tongue in and out)
Wander: [increased his pace as well, sucking n stroking, wanting to let Hater come first]
Hater: (groans, unable to hold back as he came first)
Wander: [tasted Hater's essence, his mouth tingling frm the mini shock before he, too, lost it, coming into Hater's mouth]
Hater: (hums, licking Wander clean, tasting his juices)
Wander, [still wasn't too used to tasting Hater's essence, bt tries his best to swallow, tho it was too much as he coughed, almost choking]
Hater: (sighs softly, turning Wander around to face him and hug him close)
Wander: [wiped his mouth] S-Sorry... U always come so much, I'm sorry I'm still not used to drinking u... [looked away sadly]
Hater: (pets his head) Don't worry about it... (kisses his forehead) How do you feel now?
Wander: [thought abt it] Well, I don't reli feel so hot n bothered anymore. I mean, it's not so bad, n I don't think I'm giving off any scents
Hater: That's good to hear. (hugs him closley, stroking his fur)
Wander: [thought for a bit again] Is... Is Peepers gonna be OK with us? I keep feeling he's still a little peeved abt us
Hater: (blinks)...Oh yeah, C Peeps... (looks away, almost a guilty look on his face)
Wander: [noticed] Is everything OK? I was right, aren't I? Peepers still hates me...
Hater: ... I knew he liked me in that way...but during that time, I still wasn't over what my parents did to me... all I see in Peepers is a friend who understands me...
Wander: Wait... Peepers... LIKES likes u? [it was the first time he heard this]
Hater: I knew somehow, just never knew how to react towards it since I didn't...feel that way for him... :(
Wander: I see... Tbh, some part of me thinks at first tht u two r, well, u knw, coz ur so close
Hater: Well, mostly as boss and worker. Still...
Wander: Maybe u should talk to him, get him to understand, let him dwn gently
Hater: ...I suppose it's for the best. (is growing sleepy)
Wander: [yawned as well n nuzzled against him] Love ya, Hatey...zzzzz... |-)
(smiles) Love you too... (falls alseep with Wander close to him) zzzzz... |-)
Hater: (cuddling with Wander after yet another orgasm)... Hey, Wan...?

Tears of The Rose-Chp20
[as Wander had predicted, his heat lasted for a week, n during tht week, they did pretty much everything under the sun, n Peepers had to pick up his slack]
Peepers: [was in the navigation room, grumbling to himself as he charted the ship's course, planning planets to conquer once Hater is available]
Sylvia: (leaning in doorway)
Peepers: [doesn't notice her presence as he went on with his work]
Sylvia:....You know your boss has to do what he's doing, right?
Peepers: [jumped n accidentally clicked something wrong, causing an error, then spun round n growled] U seriously need to STOP sneaking up on me!
Sylvia: Aw, but it's fun. XD
Peepers: [rolled his eye n correct the error] Yeah, watevr
Sylvia: Are you seriously still not over the fact Hater's with Wander?
Peepers: [a long pause] ....Wat's it to u?
Sylvia: (comes in over to him) You act as if he's the only person you can fall for...but you'd never know if there was someone else...
Peepers: How would u knw? How do u knw tht Lord Hater is not my soul mate n he's ending up with the wrong guy? If he hadn't tried to...u knw, with tht furball the first time, he wouldn't hv been in this mess. I would've had my chance
Sylvia: (frowns) Oh and I suppose it's completely fine if someone who liked you first tries to tear you away from someone you love?
Peepers: It is if they're tearing me away frm someone I THINK I love
Sylvia:...Do you even LIKE like Hater then...?
Peepers: [scowled at her] Of COURSE I do! Why do u think I stuck with him all these yrs?! U knw how Lord Hater is! Any normal person would've quit their job the first mth! Only I knw how to deal with Hater, handle him the way he should be handled! Bt tht...tht FURBALL...!!
Sylvia: You CAN'T always choose who you fall in love with...or even choose who THEY fall in love with, it's just something that happens.
Peepers: Then ur being contradicting! I didnt choose to fall for Lord Hater either! It just happened to me! Wat do u say abt tht?!
Sylvia: (pulls him close with her tail) Maybe because I've ALSO fallen for the last person I expected to fall for!
Peepers: [gasped at the pull] Wat r u...? [his brain clicked at her statement] Wait... Ur kidding, right? [had an idea, bt he didnt want it to be true]
Sylvia:...Do I LOOK like I'm joking around with you? (holds his face) There was JUST something about YOU that I wasn't able to resist. No matter how many times I'd beat you to the ground, you still manage to get back up somehow. I dunno, there was just... (pauses realizing she just said this all out loud)... (puts him down) I mean, you know...it's...
Peepers: [stared blankly at Sylvia's rant, then seemed to remember to sorta breathe once she put him bk dwn] ....OK? I... dunno wat to say...
Sylvia:... You don't believe me at all, do you? ...(turns to leave) I get it...
Peepers: [grabbed her tail gently to stop her] Wait... [sighed] Tbh, I had an idea... I just... didnt WANT to believe it...
Sylvia: (turns to face him)... You did, huh?
Peepers: Kinda... Wen u didnt wanna answer me directly wen I asked u the first time who u liked... [scratched his chin, then sighed] ...U knw I can't, right? Not wen I'm still sore abt... them
Sylvia: :( ... I get it... (leans in to give him a quick kiss but slowly backs off and left the room)
Peepers: [blushed a little at the kiss, then sighed n went bk to work]
Sylvia: (steps inside her room) ...(sits down against the door, face in her hands) ... ;(
Peepers: [was in the navigation room, grumbling to himself as he charted the ship's course, planning planets to conquer once Hater is available]

Sylvia: :( ... I get it... (leans in to give him a quick kiss but slowly backs off and left the room)
Peepers: [blushed a little at the kiss, then sighed n went bk to work]
Sylvia: (steps inside her room) ...(sits down against the door, face in her hands) ... ;(
Tears of The Rose-Chp19
Wander: [once they were at the ship, quickly got off Hater] R-Room... I need... room... Lock me in...
Hater: Y-you mean my room, or...?? (is worried for the nomad)
Wander: A-Anywhere... J-Just pls... [his body was getting worse, n the smell was starting to spread, n starting to affect nearby Watchdogs in the vicinity]
Hater: Uh oh... (quickly heads to his room with Wander and locks the door shut) There we go. (sets Wander on his bed)
Wander: [crawled onto the bed n went under the covers, trying to block out the scent frm Hater] P-Pls... U better... I dont want... [was incoherent at this point, bt it looks like he was trying to say tht if Hater didnt leave now, he might end up getting caught in the scent n jump him]
Hater: :( (slowly sits next to Wander) I just...want to make up for... (was growing a little dizzy from the scent but kept his control, reaching to touch the nomad)
Wander: [flinched a little, still staying underneath the covers] N-No... U d-dont m-mean tht...
Hater: :( ... (lifts the covers to reveal Wander's face, gently taking his chin and kissing him soflty as he could)
Wander: [flinched a little as he felt the kiss, then slowly leaned into it, kissing bk just as softly]
Hater: (pulls him closely, letting his fingers stroke through Wander's fur)
Wander: [whimpered at the kiss, eased into it deeper, tentatively gripping onto Hater's robes]
Hater: (hums, moving downward to kiss along the nomad's neck, his hand also moving downward to gently rub his area)
Wander: [whimpered at the touch, gripping him tighter, letting out a shaky breath as his hips automatically leaned towards Hater's hand]
Hater: (moans a little himself from the sounds Wander was making)...Lay down for me...
Wander: [bit his lip, then does so as he lay bk, his heat lust stronger than his fear]
Hater: (kissing his way down, stopping at Wander's pussy using both his finger and tongue on it)~
Wander: [gasped, instinctively grabbed at Hater's horns again, part of him wanted to cross his legs bcoz it was too much sensation, other part of him wants more of this good feeling]
Hater: (hums, pushing his tongue inside Wander, tasting him)
Wander: [being in heat, his body was extra sensitive n he soon lost it the moment Hater's tongue went in, coming into his mouth before he could warn him]
Hater: (almost gagged but hummed, cleaning him with his tongue and pulling back to view the sight of Wander, all breathless; he just looked so beautiful to him)
Wander: [was still coming a little, his body twitching as his pussy still squirted a bit, tho his cock has yet to blow it's load]
Hater: (smiles, stroking it gently) Do you need me badly?...
Wander: [was breathless he could only nod in reply]
Hater: (swallows, raising his cloak and removing his boxers and leans forward to kiss Wander as he entered inside, slowly)
Wander: [almost screamed into Hater's mouth as he felt the length inside him, filling him up entirely. In the bk of his mind, he remembered how big it was during the first time, n he clenched tight ard him, trying to adjust to his size]
Hater: it's okay, it's okay... (holds still, letting him adjust)
Wander: [pants as he hugged Hater, waiting to adjust before he nodded gently, giving him the green light to move]
Hater: (kisses him again, moving slowly at first) Aah~
Wander: Nnnhh... H-Hatey~ [felt Hater's cock moved inside him slowly, feeling his length going in n out his pussy, it almost felt so good]
Hater: Wander...nnn... (moves a little faster, holding Wander's hips)
Wander: [wrapped his legs ard Hater's waist, as much as his tiny legs could, clenching evrytime Hater was getting close to his G-spot, suddenly found himself begging for it] Nnhh... D-Deeper... A-Almost there...
Hater: (grunts, taking Wander's dick and rubbing it while still moving) G-gob~
Wander: [his eyes widened wen his G-spot was found, n with his dick being rubbed, it was double the assault] Y-Yes! R-Right there! H-Hatey~ (heart)
Hater: (moves even faster) W-Wander...Wander, aahh...!
Wander: Hatey, Hatey, Hatey~ [was whining the skeletor's name like a mantra ovr n ovr as his pussy clenched tightly ard his cock as his spot was assaulted]
Hater: I...I'm g-getting close...! (keeps hitting that spot)
Wander: [whimpered] M-Me too... C-Come.... Come inside me...!! I wanna feel u fill me up...!! [said it before he could stop himself, his lust override his logic now]
Hater: (growls, kissing Wander deeply as he drove inside him even harder)
Wander: [screamed into the kiss as he finally lost it, coming hard all ovr Hater's cock, clenching onto him super tight]
Hater: (lets out a roar, releasing inside him)
Wander: [his body twitched hard, feeling the tiny shock tht came with Hater's orgasm as the warm essence filled him up as he held onto the skeletor tight]
Hater: (breathes heavily, holding Wander close)
Wander: [pants hard, then his brain caught up n groaned] Oh gob... U came inside me...
Hater: Hm?... (realizes) Wait...oh gob, that means... o///o
Wander: [blushed n looked away] Umm... Yeah... I'm in heat so... chances r pretty high... [groaned as he covered his face] I can't believe I miscalculated. I thought I'd be safe for 3 more days, not 3 more hours
Hater: :( ...Do...do you not need my help then for this?...(quietly) Gob, I screwed up again...
Wander: [sighed] Its OK... Ur my mate, we're bonded. Its bound to happen sooner or later... [blushed, looking dwn btwn his legs to see Hater's essence leaking out] Woah, u came a lot...
Hater: ^^; It...it happens... But if you're really sure... (leans over him again) I don't mind...maybe even teach some things you've haven't done yet...
Wander: I guess so... Or maybe... its a good time for u to... [hesitated a moment, then blurted out in one go] finallyaskmethebigquestion?? [covered his flushed face, totally embarrassed tht he just said tht]
Hater: :O... (thinks; oh yeah THAT question)... (helps Wander sit up, taking a hand in his) Wander...? You'll... (quickly murmers) Youwillmarryme,right? (blushes green in the face)
Wander: [giggled] Its pretty much too late at this point bt yes, yes, I will marry u...again, sorta (giggle)
Hater: (blinks)...:D Yes! (does a little victory thing with his hands) Hater #1 superstar~ ^^
Wander: (giggle) Silly little overlord [takes his cheeks to pull him dwn gently n kissed him]
Hater: Mmm... (kissing him back and continuing to give him his love)
Hater: Y-you mean my room, or...?? (is worried for the nomad)
Wander: A-Anywhere... J-Just pls... [his body was getting worse, n the smell was starting to spread, n starting to affect nearby Watchdogs in the vicinity]

Tears of The Rose-Chp18
[soon the day came for date night]
Wander: [was putting on a casual smart outfit, tho he grinned awkwardly at his reflection of his leg cast tht contradicted his clothes]
Sylvia: (peeks in) Almost ready, buddy?
Wander: Yeah, almost [looked at the hat, then realized it didnt match his outfit n shook his head] U stay here tonight, Hatty [patted it]
Sylvia: You think you'll be okay? Not just cause of the leg, but also...your scent.
Wander: I think I'll be fine. It doesnt reli happen until the day aftr tomorrow, so I should be fine [grabs his crutches] Besides, I hv Hater to protect me
Sylvia: True. (nod)
Wander: How do I look? [showed himself to Sylvia]
Sylvia: :) Good as always. Might wanna get going, Hater's all ready and waiting.
Wander: Yeah, wouldnt want to keep him waiting [put on his crutches n followed Sylvia out of his room]
(meanwhile)
Hater: (dressed in black tuxedo and pacing, nervously)
Wander: [shows up, walking a little slowly with his crutches] Hey, Hatey
Hater: H-hey...(blushing) You ready to go?
Wander: Yeah, as ready as I'll evr be [looked at him] U look good. Peepers dressed u? [meant tht as a tease]
Hater: >> A little. (looks out the window) We're almost landing.
(They were approaching a planet covered with various oceans and were landing neat a large dock)
Hater: Hopefully this is the right place.
Wander: [looked out the window to chk out the view] Wow, this plc looks amazing. Wat is this planet?
Hater: Planet Aquarium 66. Mostly ocean themed and stuff.
Wander: Oooh~~ I wonder if there r mermaid species in this planet
Hater: Probably. :)
Wander: [got off the ship together withHater] So where r we heading?
Hater: I'm just hoping I landed in the right place. (sees an elevator emerge from the water at the edge of the dock they walked on)
Octo: (exits out of elevator) You are Mister Hater?
Hater: (thinks; okay, phew.) Yes, I made reservations with my date.
Octo: Right this way, please. (leads them both into elavator)
Wander: [moved a little slowly coz of his crutches, bt he managed to get there with Hater]
Hater: (puts arm around Wander, as the elevator starts going down and they see numerous water creatures going about their business)
Wander: [looked out n gazed in wonder, reli amazed by the view]
(Elavator soon lands)
Hater: (looks) This is it.
Octo: (leads them out of elavator into a tunnel that led to a fancy looking resturaunt)
Wander: :O [was almost speechless] Wow~ Aww, Hatey, u shouldn't hv
Hater: Heh, it wasn't easy but I managed somehow. :)
Wander: [leaned close to Hater] Lead the way, then
Hater: :) (lets the octo lead them inside and to their table the skeletor requested, by a window where they could get the best view) Here. (helps Wander to sit)
Wander: (giggle) Why thank u [sits dwn]
Hater: (also takes his own seat)
Wander: [got distracted by the view outside as he looked out in wonderment]
Hater: :) I had a feeling you'd like the view.
Wander: [blushed as he realized he was distracted] Oh, sorry, Hatey. Everything looks so pretty out there, heh heh
Hater: :) (looking through his menu)
Wander: [looked thru his as well, then his eyes widened at the price] Psst, Hatey~ R u sure we should eat here? [whispers] It's kinda pricey...
Hater: Well...I thought I heard something about this place treating certain couples differently or something... (blushing, a little embarrased)
Wander: No, silly, I mean [shows him the price of the food discreetly] U sure u can afford it? I don't want u to break ur bank
Hater: Well...maybe there's some less expensive stuff on here...
Waitress: (comes by; has pale green skin, purple eyes and long blue hair) Hello, I'll be taking your orders tonight, and... (looks at the skeletor)... :o Hater?
Hater: (blinks) ...Wait... :o Gabe, that you?
Wander: [blinked at the two of them, not sure wat to respond]
Hater: (stands up) :) Hey, Gabe. It's been a long while. Looks like you finally got your operation, did you?
Gabe: (nod) Mhm. And actually, the name's Gabrielle now, thought it sounded more suiting. (Sees Wander) Oh, hey there. Your boyfriend, Hater?
Wander: [waved timidly at him] ...Hi [small blush across his face]
Hater: Oh, right. Wander, this is an old companion of mine. Gab, meet Wander.
Gabe: (now Gabrielle) Hey. Well, used to be a boy but now became the girl I've always wanted.
Hater: Must've been hard for you finding a job because of being transgender?
Gabrielle: Pretty much.
Wander: Good for ya. U look beautiful :)
Gabrielle: Heh, thanks. ^^
Boss: (big blue whale-like creature) Gabrielle, keep up the good work, baby.
Gabrielle: ;) Sure thing, honey.
Hater: :O ...you're in relationship with your boss??
Gabrielle: ^^;; It's a long story.
Wander: (giggle) I guess interoffice relationship is OK here for u guys
Gabrielle: You might say that. He's the reason I got this job in the first place.
Hater: So, there's a way we can pay for the food without worrying about how expensive it is? ^^;;
Wander: We don't wanna impose or anything... [felt a little bad for asking; he was worried Gabrielle might be offended for taking advantage of her]
Gabrielle: Well... I could ask if my boss can do something about it. ;) He barely ever says no to me.
Hater: -3- Why am I not surprised to hear that?
Wander: Well, just dont ovrdo it. We dont want u to get fired or making u two complicated or anything...
Gabrielle: No worries, I'll take care of it. (gets out notepad) So, will you be having anything?
Hater: (looking at menu) I'll just have one of your specials.
Gabrielle: (nod) (turns to Wander) And for you?
Wander: [looked at menu] Hmm... Maybe this one? [pointed at a mixed grill dish] N make it a double portion if its OK?
Gabrielle: (writes down their orders)
(while later, both the skeletor and nomad are enjoying their meal)
Wander: [blushed as he ate] Sorry if I disgust u with my appetite. Its just instinct to stock up for me, coz once I'm in...u knw, "that" cycle, food is the last thing in my mind
Hater: Heh, no worries. I get to be a messy east myself. (takes a bite) Nice to see Gabe again...
Wander: U said he-- I mean, she was ur old companion. Were u two like "close" close?
Hater: Yeah, in a way cause we understood each other about our families not being approving of our choices in life, you know, the whole gay thing.
Wander: I see... So... did u two like dated or something?
Hater: ^^;; No, more like... this wasn't the first time I came to this planet. I kind of came here before to try a conquer, which wasn't working so well. But then just came across Gabe in trouble, no doubt people who didn't approve of him trying to be transgender, so I had to swoop in and fight off those other guys. Gabe had worried I was gonna be like them but after a small talk about what happened with my family disowning me, we found a lot we had in common. But it didn't last too night cause I had to move on to the next planet so we've tried to keep in touch as much as we could. Then after a while, barely ever heard from Gabe until just now.
Wander: Well, judging by the way she's being so happy now, I guess this planet, or at least those who knw her, is sorta OK with her being who she is
Hater: Yeah, seems like it. I'm happy for her, now that things seem to be going easier on her.
Wander: [smiled] I'm glad. So anything planned aftr dinner? [took a sip of soup]
Hater: :) Perhaps a walk along one of their beaches? Enjoy more of the view?
Wander: I'd like tht. Bt only if u dont mind me going slow or u let me sit on ur shoulder if u want me to keep up with u
Hater: I won't mind. :) (gently does a footies with Wander's good leg)
Wander: [blushed as he does it bk to him while popping a meatball into his mouth]
Hater: (chuckles) :)
Wander: [suddenly felt as if all eyes were on him, bt shrugged it off as being paranoid as he continued to enjoy his meal with Hater]
[the couple finished their dinner in a couple of hours, n got a nice discount thanks to Gab's help. Soon they were at one of the nearby beaches, taking their walk, with Wander riding on Hater's shoulder]
Wander: [burped a little] Ooh, excuse me. Tht was a great meal, Hatey
Hater: :) Glad it went well. (sees the nomad look around a little) You okay?
Wander: Huh? Y-Yeah, its nothing... [tries to look out at the ocean distance n enjoy the beautiful starry view]
Hater: Is...something bothering you?
Wander: I dunno, maybe its just me bt... I feel like I'm being watched...
Hater: (cradles him in one arm) It's because of you giving off that scent, perhaps?
Wander: Maybe... Or maybe... [his breath hitched as he suddenly felt himself going warm frm the inside out, he doubled ovr n almost fell off Hater's shoulder as he hugged himself, shaking]
Hater: :O W-Wander? (holds onto him) Hey, you okay?? Wander??
Wander: Nnnhh... [knew the familiar feeling] Oh grob... I think I miscalculated... [his eyes scanned the area n gasped wen he saw a crowd of ppl slowly moving towards them, their eyes clouded with lust, he then turned to Hater, fearing the worst] H-Hatey...?
Hater: :O Oh grop... (sends off electric shocks) Hey, hey! Back off! Off, all of you! (holding Wander close)
[the crowd was not phased, their mind concentrated on going towards Wander]
Wander: [relieved tht Hater didnt turn into the crowd, bt terrified tht the crowd would get to them in no time] H-Hatey, w-we better g-get outta h-here...!!
Hater: (looks around) Just hang on tight! (quickly teleports them out of there and into a spot where there weren't much people around)
Wander: [held onto Hater tight wen they teleported off, then once they were there, he started shaking more n tried to get off Hater] P-Pls... L-Lets go bk to the sh-ship... I... I dont want u to d-d-do s-something u might r-regret...
Hater: Right, gotcha. (still carrying Wander and quickly making their way back to where the ship was)
Wander: [was putting on a casual smart outfit, tho he grinned awkwardly at his reflection of his leg cast tht contradicted his clothes]
Sylvia: (peeks in) Almost ready, buddy?
Wander: Yeah, almost [looked at the hat, then realized it didnt match his outfit n shook his head] U stay here tonight, Hatty [patted it]

Wander: [blushed as he ate] Sorry if I disgust u with my appetite. Its just instinct to stock up for me, coz once I'm in...u knw, "that" cycle, food is the last thing in my mind
Hater: Heh, no worries. I get to be a messy east myself. (takes a bite) Nice to see Gabe again...
Wander: U said he-- I mean, she was ur old companion. Were u two like "close" close?
Hater: Yeah, in a way cause we understood each other about our families not being approving of our choices in life, you know, the whole gay thing.
Wander: I see... So... did u two like dated or something?
Hater: ^^;; No, more like... this wasn't the first time I came to this planet. I kind of came here before to try a conquer, which wasn't working so well. But then just came across Gabe in trouble, no doubt people who didn't approve of him trying to be transgender, so I had to swoop in and fight off those other guys. Gabe had worried I was gonna be like them but after a small talk about what happened with my family disowning me, we found a lot we had in common. But it didn't last too night cause I had to move on to the next planet so we've tried to keep in touch as much as we could. Then after a while, barely ever heard from Gabe until just now.
Wander: Well, judging by the way she's being so happy now, I guess this planet, or at least those who knw her, is sorta OK with her being who she is
Hater: Yeah, seems like it. I'm happy for her, now that things seem to be going easier on her.
Wander: [smiled] I'm glad. So anything planned aftr dinner? [took a sip of soup]
Hater: :) Perhaps a walk along one of their beaches? Enjoy more of the view?
Wander: I'd like tht. Bt only if u dont mind me going slow or u let me sit on ur shoulder if u want me to keep up with u
Hater: I won't mind. :) (gently does a footies with Wander's good leg)
Wander: [blushed as he does it bk to him while popping a meatball into his mouth]
Hater: (chuckles) :)
Wander: [suddenly felt as if all eyes were on him, bt shrugged it off as being paranoid as he continued to enjoy his meal with Hater]
[the couple finished their dinner in a couple of hours, n got a nice discount thanks to Gab's help. Soon they were at one of the nearby beaches, taking their walk, with Wander riding on Hater's shoulder]
Wander: [burped a little] Ooh, excuse me. Tht was a great meal, Hatey
Hater: :) Glad it went well. (sees the nomad look around a little) You okay?
Wander: Huh? Y-Yeah, its nothing... [tries to look out at the ocean distance n enjoy the beautiful starry view]
Hater: Is...something bothering you?
Wander: I dunno, maybe its just me bt... I feel like I'm being watched...
Hater: (cradles him in one arm) It's because of you giving off that scent, perhaps?
Wander: Maybe... Or maybe... [his breath hitched as he suddenly felt himself going warm frm the inside out, he doubled ovr n almost fell off Hater's shoulder as he hugged himself, shaking]
Hater: :O W-Wander? (holds onto him) Hey, you okay?? Wander??
Wander: Nnnhh... [knew the familiar feeling] Oh grob... I think I miscalculated... [his eyes scanned the area n gasped wen he saw a crowd of ppl slowly moving towards them, their eyes clouded with lust, he then turned to Hater, fearing the worst] H-Hatey...?
Hater: :O Oh grop... (sends off electric shocks) Hey, hey! Back off! Off, all of you! (holding Wander close)
[the crowd was not phased, their mind concentrated on going towards Wander]
Wander: [relieved tht Hater didnt turn into the crowd, bt terrified tht the crowd would get to them in no time] H-Hatey, w-we better g-get outta h-here...!!
Hater: (looks around) Just hang on tight! (quickly teleports them out of there and into a spot where there weren't much people around)
Wander: [held onto Hater tight wen they teleported off, then once they were there, he started shaking more n tried to get off Hater] P-Pls... L-Lets go bk to the sh-ship... I... I dont want u to d-d-do s-something u might r-regret...
Hater: Right, gotcha. (still carrying Wander and quickly making their way back to where the ship was)
Tears of The Rose-Chp17
(A few weeks have passed)
Sylvia: (comes into the room where the nomad is) How are we feeling today?
Wander: Heya, buddy. My sprained wrist n my ribs feel better now [showed his wrist is no longer bandaged] N they've removed the stitches on my head, nothing my fur wouldn't cover [gestured at his casted leg] My leg, not so much
Sylvia: I see. (sniffs about, raising a brow) And is it just me...or...or have you been...smelling a little...funny lately...?
Wander: Reli? I dont feel anything... [thought abt it] Wait, wats the date today? Can u pass me the calendar?
Sylvia: (passes one of the smaller calenders to him)
Wander: [look at the calendar, then did a calculation in his head, then groaned] Oh no...
Sylvia: What...?
Wander: I think I knw why u say I smell funny [facepalmed n blushed] I'm abt 3 days away before my heat cycle...
Sylvia: ...Oh...But then...What are you gonna do if Hater found out...? You ARE linked to him, so...
Wander: [blushed hard] I dunno, I havent reli educated him tht far abt my species...
Sylvia: Well...one way or another he's bound to find out.
Wander: Yeah, I knw. I better explain it to him as soon as possible [turns to Sylvia] I see ur getting to be buddy-buddy with Peepers. How's tht going?\
Sylvia: (flushes) He...he helped me out with something...which I don't think I told you about.
Wander: Oh? U OK to talk abt it?
Sylvia: (sighs)... (sits with Wander, explaining to him about her life with Ryder and what she went through)
Wander: Oh my, I knew there was some sort of history u had wen we first met, I felt it, bt I didnt want to pester u until ur ready to tell me :(
Sylvia: Yeah, it was pretty bad... :(
Wander: So... Peepers helped u find her, huh? Tht's a reli nice thing he did there
Sylvia: Mhm... (rubbing her arm) It was...
Wander: Hmm~? Do I detect something btwn u n Peeps there? ^^
Sylvia: o///o Uh... >//> Noo...?
Wander: (giggle) Oh yes u do~
Sylvia: |-( Whatever...I doubt he feels the same though...
Wander: Oooh~ Someone's got a crush on Peepers :D [says it in a sing-song way]
Sylvia: >_< Wander... (flushing furiously)
Wander: Buddy, u should tell him! Don't wait till its too late. Wat if he likes u bk?
Sylvia: >> Like I said, he probably wouldn't feel the same... Also, don't you have to let Hater know about your...?
Wander: Oh, right... [blushed a bit] Bt still, no harm in trying. I mean, I doubt he would've done all tht for u if he didnt like u
Sylvia: (shrugs) Maybe.
Hater: (happen to pass by) Hey. (enters) Just to check on you, Wander.
Wander: [sees Hater n blushed a bit] Oh hey, Hatey
Hater: Something wrong?
Sylvia: I think that's something he'd like to talk with you alone about.
Wander: Yeah, wat she said [twiddled his thumbs awkwardly]
Sylvia: (leaves the room) See ya, Wander.
Hater: (raises an eyebrow) Wander...?
Wander: Syl~~ [was a little reluctant for her to leave, then sighed n turned to Hater] Do u...notice anything different abt me?
Hater: Well...besides the bandages, not really... (looks around) Though, some weird smell around here...?
Wander: [blushed hard] Umm... Yeah... Coz... Umm.... Yeah, I'm... I'm kinda sorta getting close to my....heat cycle...?
Hater: (blinks for a sec until it clicks in his head) ...D-does this mean...we now have to do more then...touching..?
Wander: >\\\\< W-We don't hv to if u don't want to... I mean, Syl n I weather it out by locking me in a hotel room for a week n let me handle it myself... I mean, I dunno... Oh gob, this is so embarrassing... [hid under the blanket]
Hater: :( Wander... (kneels next to him) Are you...still worried I might...do what I did before...?
Wander: [peeked out frm under the blanket] M-Maybe a little...?
Hater: See... I really, REALLY want to make up for what I've done...and I get you won't let me, just keep to touching but...only if you really want me to...
Wander: [hesitated a little, then comes out of the blanket] W-Well... Ur my mate now, so I should at least try to get used to it, I mean, it's abt time anyways...
Hater: (hugs him gently, rubbing his back)
Wander: It won't happen until 3 days later, so... U still on for tht dinner thing? :)
Hater: (nod) I've found a place you'd really like.
Wander: Oh reli? Where is tht?
Hater: Sorry, don't wanna spoil the surprise or anything. ;)
Wander: Aww, u tease :p
Hater: ^^ It's a living. (gently kisses his forehead)
Wander: (giggle)
Hater: :) ...Are you able to walk yet?
Wander: Well I've been going to the bathroom myself with the help of crutches, I'm getting the hang of it
Hater: I see. You, um...okay for this dinner, cause if not due to your leg, I understand...
Wander: Don't worry, I'm good. I need to get out n get some fresh air anyways. I'm getting bedsores n cabin fever
Hater: (nod) Alright then.
Wander: So when's date night gonna be?
Hater: Well, depending on how you feel, either tonight or maybe tomorrow? Whichever you feel better with.
Wander: I guess tomorrow would be just nice
Hater: Sounds good for me, too. (holding Wander's hand in his, giving a small kiss to it)
Wander: (giggle) I look forward to it [stroke Hater's cheek with it]
Hater: (nod) Me too.
Tears of The Rose-Chp16
(meanwhile)
Sylvia: (enters the room where Peepers is working) Hey, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: [was clicking away on the computer, like writing some sort of report, not looking at Sylvia] Hey, zbornak
Sylvia: ... (peeks over his shoulder) Doing homework, are we?
Peepers: [didnt evn bother to shoo her away as he replied stonily] Uh-huh
Sylvia: ...You like Hater in that way, doncha? -3-
Peepers: [frowned] No! N its none of ur business! [grumbled as he continued typing]
Sylvia: Geez, no need to act like that. Besides, do you really think you can be in charge of Hater's lovelife just like that? Can't he be happy with who he wants?
Peepers: Oh yeah? U think he can be happy with tht furball?? Tht happy-go-lucky, naive little furball who has no idea abt Lord Hater n just prancing ard totally clueless abt everything wen he barely evn knws Lord Hater like I do?? N wat abt me?? I saw Lord Hater first! I was his first n only friend! I stood by his side n put up with his shit for YEARS since he first recruited me! I sacrificed YEARS of my time, even my LIFE, for him n he barely evn notices me, n now this furball steps in ruining both our lives n our plans for conquest n Lord Hater just decided to fall heads ovr heels for him?! Wat abt me?! [kept on rambling n rambling n doesnt realize tht he was starting to type paragraph aftr paragraph of angry gibberish]
Sylvia: (blinks) ...You DO realize what you're typing up, right?
Peepers: [blinked, then looked up at the gibberish n grumbled] Ahh, slag... [highlighted the gibberish n deleted it, then sighed n leaned bk against his seat, tired of typing now]
Sylvia: ...Anyways, don't you think you can at least support Hater with Wander insetad of tearing them apart? You've looked up how Star Nomads work, and even if you tried, it's not gonna work.
Peepers: [finally turns to face her] How do u expect me to support him wen my heart is broken into pieces like this? If u hv loved someone almost forevr, n find out he loves someone else, n tht u hv to see him evryday, wat would YOU do?
Sylvia: (pauses) ... that's... that's different... cause there WAS someone else I thought I loved but then he left...and even did something to break me even more... (grips her hands into fists) ...Why am I even saying this, YOU'RE obviously not gonna care.
Peepers: [blinked for a moment] Wait... Wat r u trying to say here?
Sylvia: (sighs)...I was once with my old partner, Ryder... but he never felt the same... And well... (looks away, holding her tail) You can say there was someone ELSE I was interested in...but...I guessed that he wouldn't feel the same or just wasn't allowed to love because of his boss...
Peepers: Ryder? Sounds like an ass. U said he broke u. Wat do u mean by tht?
Sylvia: ...(groans)...Teen pregnancy >_< (cringing for Peepers' reaction)
Peepers: [if he had a jaw, it would've dropped by now] He... He knocked u up??
Sylvia: Yes, okay?? He did that, and then it got to the point I had to break up with him because he refused to work for me and the baby. But after a while, I felt it was HIM that... (trembles with a few tears) ...that called up Child Service to take her away from me, claiming me as a bad parent... that was his payback... ;(
Peepers: Woah, woah, OK, OK, geez, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to step on ur toes there [reached forward to put his arm ard her shoulder to comfort her, tho awkwardly] So... U got a girl, huh? Where is she now?
Sylvia:...Some family must've adopted her long time ago... but I didn't know if trying to look her up was the best idea...
Peepers: [thought for a moment, then went to the computer] Which Child Service agency did Ryder call to take ur baby?
Sylvia: I can't recall, it's been years... (blinks) Why? You actually...want to help?
Peepers: [shrugged] I've got nothing better to do. The report was moot anyways. [typed a few buttons] Do u at least remember the planet u were staying in wen it happened?
Sylvia: Not exactly...some sort of tropical place but that's all I can recall ATM.
Peepers: U can't even remember the most important fateful day wen ur child's been taken? [sighed n rolled his eyes] Alright, fine, I've worked with lesser info than this. I can do this [cracked his knuckles, then started speed-typing, doing a search on all tropical planets tht had Child Services agencies available]
Sylvia: (looks with him) ...(points to screen) That one.
Peepers: [looks at it saying Planet Yokel] U sure?
Sylvia: The name sounds familiar. It's gotta be that one.
Peepers: [nodded] Right [clicked onto the planet's icon, then did a word search on agencies n came up with 2 agencies] There's East Yokel and West Yokel Child Services. U remember which one?
Sylvia: (looks at both)... I'm pretty sure it was West.
Peepers: Alright [clicked tht icon] OK, gotta do a little hacking here [typed furiously to hack into it] So, u said ur interested in someone else. Who is it? Do I knw them?
Sylvia: (flushes a little) Yeah...you'd know him pretty well...
Peepers: Reli? Who? [before Sylvia replied, the computer dinged] Ah, got it! I'm in! So u remember the yr? It'll be easier to find if I knw the yr
Sylvia: The year of her birth, or...? (glad the subject had changed)
Peepers: The yr she was taken, bt yr she was born might work
Sylvia: (thinks about it)... Somewhere in the 90s at least. That's what I know.
Peepers: U reli hv my work cut out for this [cracked his knuckles again n started typing, then the computer did a speed run before reaching the 90s n showed a list of kids registered into the system during tht time period]
Sylvia: (looking through list with him) ... Her. (notifces a picture of a yellow zbornak child with a blue mane)
Peepers: [clicked onto her file] Tiana? That's her name? Huh, she's cute
Sylvia: She was... ;( my little girl...
Peepers: Lemme see if I can locate her current whereabouts [scanned thru the file n reached the footnote] Hmmm... "Adopted by Mr & Mrs Dingleberry" [did a search for that family] OK, they live on Planet Vakaria 6.5, the sister planet of Planet Yokel. Tracking their home via satellite uplink... [clicked a few dozen buttons, then the satellite camera zoomed in to the location n produced a live feed of a zbornak matching Tiana's picture playing at the front yard]
??: Shelly! Shelly, help me with the laundry, sweetie! I'm coming out with the baskets!
Sylvia::O Shelly? She got renamed?
Peepers: It's not uncommon [shrugged as he zoomed in some more to see her clearly]
Shelly: :) Yes, mama. (gets to sorting the laundry)
Sylvia: (watching)
[a chubby blueish-red alien tht looks like a mer-octopus came out with baskets in her tentacles n set them dwn, then chatted idly in a Southern accent with Tiana, now Shelly, as the two ladies took dwn the laundry n put them in the baskets. Judging by the design of the house n the surrounding area, they were in some kind of farm ranch]
Peepers: I guess that's Mrs Dingleberry
Sylvia: Yeah... (slightly jealous of her already)
[a crop-harvesting tractor drove by, n the ladies waved at it, n wen Peepers zoomed in, it was another mer-octopus, but yellow with blue freckles n a male, driving it with a young boy tht looks like a Minotaur species sitting at the passenger seat, both of them waving bk at the ladies]
Peepers: Tht must be Mr Dingleberry, n it seems like they also adopted a son
Sylvia: ... Do you think she'll even remember me...?
Peepers: Who knws? Would u want her to?
Sylvia: ...I'm not even sure...
Peepers: [sighed, then clicked a few buttons to turn off the live feed, then ejects a mini-drive out] Here. I recorded everything, ur daughter's file, the live feed video just now n also coordinates tht u can access onto Planet Vakaria 6.5 satellite if u feel the urge to see her again. Don't worry, this drive is counter-hack proof. U can safely view her anytime, anywhere with just a click of a button
Sylvia: :( ... (hugs him tightly) Thanks, Pipsqueak...
Peepers: Ooff! [rolled his eyes n patted her bk] Don't get used to it, zbornak, I'm just doing this coz u caught me in a mood today
Sylvia: (pulls back) Yeah. Right, gotcha. (backs up)...But really, thanks about all this. (quickly leaves)
Peepers: [watched her leave, then sighed n mumbled to himself] Sorry I can't return ur feelings just yet, not with my heartbreak right now... [seem to hint tht he knws who the "other person" Sylvia was interested in, then sighed n went bk to continue his report]
Tears of The Rose-Chp15
Wander: [on the bed, sleeping, a huge cast ard his broken leg n sprained wrist, n bit of thick bandages ard his head, bt still he looked much better than wen Hater first saw him in the gorge]
Hater: ;( ...(goes to kneel beside Wander, gently resting his hand on Wander's)
Sylvia: (peeks in) :( ...
Wander: [stirred as he felt Hater's hand on his] Nnnhh...?
Hater: :O Wander...??
Wander: Nnnhh... [blinked his eyes open] W-Where... Where am I...?
Hater: (still holding his hand) Back on the ship... :( You're safe now...
Sylvia: (enters) How are you feeling, buddy?
Wander: Like I just got hit by a space bus... Wat happened...?
Sylvia: Hater says he found you in a gorge having been attacked by some creature that wanted you for its meal.
Hater: (stroking Wander's hand gently) Why...?
Wander: Oh, tht... [looked away, a little awkward by it]
Sylvia: Wander...?
Hater: Do...do you just not wanna be around me anymore...? (fearing the worst)
Wander: [bit his lip] No... No its not tht... Its just...something more personal...
Sylvia: I'll just leave you two be for this, then... (leaves)
Hater: (leans closely) What is it...?
Wander: I just...didnt want u to pester me abt...abt my dream. I could tell u were vry curious, n I knw it'll keep bothering u until I tell u the truth
Hater:...She was someone you knew...this Wanda...?
Wander: [bit his lip n looked away, which was pretty much confirmation enough]
Hater:... (looks away) Sorry...
Wander: [aftr a long silence] ....Wanda.... Wanda is my eldest sister, the firstborn of the litter...
Hater: (blinks, and blinks again)...Your...Sister...then that meant...?? (a little disgusted of the idea)
Wander: Wat? No, its not wat u think! If we were, I would've been bonded to her. I wouldnt be here. We're programmed not to leave our spouses, remember?
Hater: Oh. Right. But still...something like that...
Wander: [shook his head] No, its something much worse than tht. Its... well... the thing is... She killed my family...
Hater: :O ... :( So sorry to hear that, I didn't...
Wander: [shook his head] It was gonna come out sooner or later anyways... Wanda was...nvr reli vry right in the head. Star Nomads r peace-loving species who enjoy the occasional wandering ard, bt mostly prefer to settle dwn n hv a nice family, white picket fence, all tht jazz. Bt Wanda... She's... She's just different. Nvr satisfied, nvr content, always restless, always wanting more, to the point where she becomes...violent
Hater: And she took it out on your family... but... you WERE siblings, weren't you...? Her trying to do that on you, just sounds...
Wander: Of course we're siblings, we were born frm the same litter. Mom n Pops tried evrything, frm healers to modern medicine, nothing seemed to tame her. Finally a shaman told my parents tht she is born with a rare genetic code, one tht was passed dwn frm the Old Ancient Nomad, the more savage, kill or be killed survivor instinct. Basically in a nutshell, she was born a predator. Tht is super rare, evn rarer than having intersex kids, thought to hv been wiped out millenias ago wen nomads became civilized n evolved
Hater: :( ...And no one else interested her for a mate...?
Wander: [shook his head] Get ur head out of the gutter, Hatey. I nvr said she did anything incestual to me
Hater: ^^;; S-sorry, sorry... (still resting his hand on Wander's)... we've been...together for two months and have known each other longest, haven't we...?
Wander: Technically Sylvia knew me the longest. In fact she was the one who rescued me frm Wanda
Hater: Right, that too. But what I did... (rubbing the back of his head, slightly green in the face)
Wander: [blushed a bit] U could say tht... [a small pause] ...U still wanna hear the rest of my story?
Hater: Well, only if you feel comfortable to do so.
Wander: [takes a deep breath] Well, it got to the point where Wanda become bloodlust for power n wanted to rule the world, sorta like u, bt worse n more evil. My parents had no choice bt to keep her locked up in the basement. There was no cure for wat she had, n it hurts to see her like tht, bt it was the best my parents could do. Bt one night, not sure how, she broke out of the basement n killed everyone, n she made me watch, bcoz in her twisted mind, she thought my parents imprisoned her bcoz I was their favourite child, n that I should suffer as I watch everyone die, n she was planning to keep me alive so tht she could torture me everyday n "suffer how she suffered" as she puts it
Hater: :(... (wants to embrace Wander in comfort but isn't sure becuase of his current condition)
Wander: [leans his head against Hater's shoulder] As luck would hv it, Sylvia was on my planet n at my home looking for food n shelter for the night one fateful night. Wanda was out recruiting minions at the time n I was locked in the same basement she was in. Sylvia thought the house was empty n hoped she could spend the night in the basement n leave without anyone is the wiser, bt instead she found me. She rescued me n we escaped under the cover of darkness, n we nvr looked bk
Hater: I see... (places his hand gently on Wander's head, petting it)
Wander: Bt now I'm scared tht she would come looking for me. She loves me as much as she hates me, n Sylvia took away her only brother she could love n torture at the same time... That's why we wander so much, to avoid her... I may look carefree n all, bt deep dwn, I'm scared tht one day... One day she'll find me... [started shaking a little]
Hater: (holds him gently) I won't allow her to harm you...Not one bit... (kisses his forehead) I love you too much to see you get hurt again... (blushes when he heard himself say that)
Wander: [blinked n blushed as well] U... U love me...?
Hater: o///o W-well... for some time, yes, I just kept denying it for so long...
Wander: Is tht why u...did wat u did to me...?
Hater: I wasn't thinking clearly at that time, but... I didn't mean to hurt you... ;(
Wander: [sees Hater crying n felt bad as he raised his good hand to stroke his cheek] Its OK, Hatey. I knw I was mad bt I still forgive u. I let u near me now, didn't I? N... u saved my life, I suppose we're evn, heh
Hater: Mhm... (holds Wander's hand agaisnt him face) ...And um...if this question seems too soon, I'm sorry I asked...and not about Wanda...
Wander: [blinked] Wat question?
Hater: (swallows hard) Is...is it... is it possible to ask someone to marry you despite already being hitched somehow?? (has said this in a quick almost panicked tone)
Wander: [blinked again] R u.... R u proposing to me?
Hater: (pulls away) I'm- I'm sorry to ask that, you still might not be ready, I just thought that- (is rambling with a flushing face)
Wander: [stopped him with a finger to his lips, then giggled] We're already technically married. Do u evn need to ask?
Hater: I know, I just... thought if we tried at it again, we could...
Wander: (giggle) At least take me out to dinner first, then we can decide
Hater: (nod) I can do that. (kisses him gently)
Wander: [giggled n kissed him bk]
Hater: ;( ...(goes to kneel beside Wander, gently resting his hand on Wander's)
Sylvia: (peeks in) :( ...
Wander: [stirred as he felt Hater's hand on his] Nnnhh...?
Hater: :O Wander...??
Wander: Nnnhh... [blinked his eyes open] W-Where... Where am I...?
Hater: (still holding his hand) Back on the ship... :( You're safe now...

Hater: :(... (wants to embrace Wander in comfort but isn't sure becuase of his current condition)
Wander: [leans his head against Hater's shoulder] As luck would hv it, Sylvia was on my planet n at my home looking for food n shelter for the night one fateful night. Wanda was out recruiting minions at the time n I was locked in the same basement she was in. Sylvia thought the house was empty n hoped she could spend the night in the basement n leave without anyone is the wiser, bt instead she found me. She rescued me n we escaped under the cover of darkness, n we nvr looked bk
Hater: I see... (places his hand gently on Wander's head, petting it)
Wander: Bt now I'm scared tht she would come looking for me. She loves me as much as she hates me, n Sylvia took away her only brother she could love n torture at the same time... That's why we wander so much, to avoid her... I may look carefree n all, bt deep dwn, I'm scared tht one day... One day she'll find me... [started shaking a little]
Hater: (holds him gently) I won't allow her to harm you...Not one bit... (kisses his forehead) I love you too much to see you get hurt again... (blushes when he heard himself say that)
Wander: [blinked n blushed as well] U... U love me...?
Hater: o///o W-well... for some time, yes, I just kept denying it for so long...
Wander: Is tht why u...did wat u did to me...?
Hater: I wasn't thinking clearly at that time, but... I didn't mean to hurt you... ;(
Wander: [sees Hater crying n felt bad as he raised his good hand to stroke his cheek] Its OK, Hatey. I knw I was mad bt I still forgive u. I let u near me now, didn't I? N... u saved my life, I suppose we're evn, heh
Hater: Mhm... (holds Wander's hand agaisnt him face) ...And um...if this question seems too soon, I'm sorry I asked...and not about Wanda...
Wander: [blinked] Wat question?
Hater: (swallows hard) Is...is it... is it possible to ask someone to marry you despite already being hitched somehow?? (has said this in a quick almost panicked tone)
Wander: [blinked again] R u.... R u proposing to me?
Hater: (pulls away) I'm- I'm sorry to ask that, you still might not be ready, I just thought that- (is rambling with a flushing face)
Wander: [stopped him with a finger to his lips, then giggled] We're already technically married. Do u evn need to ask?
Hater: I know, I just... thought if we tried at it again, we could...
Wander: (giggle) At least take me out to dinner first, then we can decide
Hater: (nod) I can do that. (kisses him gently)
Wander: [giggled n kissed him bk]

Peepers: [once on the docks, started barking orders to medics] Get tht furball to the med bay ASAP! I want full examination n full disclosure of results wen ur done! Go, go, go!
Medics: Yes, sir!
Sylvia: They better know what they're doing... (also worried for her friend)
Peepers: They should. They're the best medical team in the entire home planet of ours [followed behind the medics until outside the med bay entrance n waited at the lobby]
Hater: (also waited in the lobby, sitting in one of the waiting chairs)
Peepers: [after a short silence] So, the gorge, huh? How did u manage to find him there, sir?
Hater: Found him wounded and bleeding... had to fight off a huge centipede dragon beast thing.
Peepers: Yeah, bt wat I mean is HOW? U don't hv a tracking device or anything, since it was on the hat in the first plc. How did u find him?
Hater: ...The hat helped me out.
Peepers: [blinked] The hat? Reli?
Hater: Yes, really. All I had to do was talk with it and it directed me to where Wander was. I guess, like him, it forgave me too.
Peepers: Wait, lemme get this straight. U mean tht hat is sentient somehow? How does tht evn work? [turns to Sylvia] Is he for real?
Sylvia: Yes, the hat has done a lot of things for me and Wander. Mostly Wander, cause it seems to not like me so much. >> (recalling that one time)
Peepers: Huh. Tho it makes me wonder why that furball is at the gorge in the first plc...
Sylvia: Maybe fell down there?
Hater: Or that monster grabbed him and tried to devour him... (cringes at the thought of that)
Peepers: Either way, I guess there's nothing to do bt wait for the doc's results
Sylvia: Yeah...
Hater: (looks down at his hands)
Peepers: [another awkward silence later] ....So, ur in love with the furball, huh? Wen exactly were u gonna tell me tht, sir?
Hater: >> You'd make me deny it as some stupid crush, that's why I didn't say anything about it...
Peepers: [frowned] Yeah, yeah, maybe, bt still, of all ppl? That furball?
Sylvia: Well, you can't exactly choose who you fall for, it's just something that happens.
Hater: Sounds about right.
Peepers: So ur just gonna ignore MY feelings n fraternize with the enemy?! After all I've done for u, after YEARS of pining for u--!! [covered his mouth in horror n embarrassment]
Hater: (blinks) Wait, what?
Sylvia: .3. Oh boy...
Peepers: [tries to change the subject] Forget it! U didnt hear anything! [saved by the doc's presence] Ah! Abt time! How's the furball's situation?
Doc: Well, he's got a broken right leg n a couple of bruised ribs, a sprained left wrist n got a nasty deep cut on his head tht needed stitches, bt other than tht, he's one tough sucker
Sylvia: That's good.
Hater: (sighs in relief)
Peepers: Good. Well, I gtg...chk on things... [quickly made a run for it]
Doc: U can go see him if u want, Lord Hater sir
Hater: (nod) (goes in slowly, seeing Wander still resting) :(...
Medics: Yes, sir!
Sylvia: They better know what they're doing... (also worried for her friend)
Peepers: They should. They're the best medical team in the entire home planet of ours [followed behind the medics until outside the med bay entrance n waited at the lobby]

Tears of The Rose-Chp13
[with the mini ship ready, the trio followed the controller's trail n it led them to a rather tropical planet]
Sylvia: Hopefully this is where Wander is...
Hater: I hope so too...
Peepers: [looked at the controller as he landed the ship] He should be here. This controller is nvr wrong [takes it out of the ship casing, got off the ship n pointed it ard] Its this way
Hater: (thinks a moment)... Any other beings there, C Peeps?
Peepers: [looked ard] Cant reli tell, bt first impression this plc doesnt hv human or alien occupants, just the local wildlife. Lets go [following the direction of where the controller was leading]
Sylvia and Hater: (follows the SiC)
[the trio followed the direction of the controller, then it led them all the way to...Wander's hat, with no Wander in it]
Peepers: Oh, tht's not good
Sylvia: :O Oh no...
Hater: (rushes over, scooping up the hat) ... Wander? Wander! (looking around, almost panicked)
[no response, only echoes of Hater's voice throughout the jungle]
Peepers: Where could tht furball hv gone to?
Sylvia: :( Little buddy...??
Hater: (looking worried, but growls, pushing his way thrugh some plants)
Peepers: We better split up n find him. I'll take north, u take south [sees Hater gone off] aaaaaand he's gone off west with the hat -__-;;
Sylvia: Gotcha. (heads off in her own direction)
Peepers: [sighed n headed north]
Hat: [was tucked under Hater's armpit, n it seemed like it did not like being in the arms of the man who raped his "little brother"]
Hater: (looks at hat) Okay, look... (holds it facing him) I know what I did was really wrong, but I'm trying to make it all up to him. Honest. But I need your help to find him... he'd want you to do that, you know? (feels a little weird talking to a hat)
Hat: [looks as if it was sulking at him grudgingly]
Hater: :( I'm not asking this just for me... but for Wander... I just don't want to lose him, not like this... ;( Please help me...
Hat: [looked like it felt a little bad, just a LITTLE, then slowly the star on its middle started glowing, as if it was behaving like the tracking device controller]
Hater: :O ... (decides to trust the hat on where to go and find Wander)
Hat: [whenevr he got further away, the star dimmed, n whenevr he was getting close the star glows slightly brighter, leading him to where he needs to go]
Hater: (looking around hoping to see any sign of the nomad)
Hat: [soon led him to a gorge, where it seemed to be almost bottomless, n the star was shining its brightest, indicating Wander was dwn there]
Hater: (looks down)...That's a long way... (digs into hat) Got anything I can use?
Hat: [produced two climbing pickaxe n a long rope]
Hater: :) Thanks. (leans down)... I'm coming, Wander... :(
[the rope was tied on the trunk of the biggest, strongest tree Hater could find, n the pickaxes were used to help Hater hold onto the gorge as he descended dwn]
Hat: [glowed evn brighter now tht they're getting closer towards Wander's location]
Hater: (keeps climbing downward) ...Wander??
[there was no reply, bt the hat continued to shine n almost acted like a flashlight for Hater to see in the darkness of the gorge]
Hater: (looking around) ... :( Wander...? (is beginning to fear the worst)
[aftr wat felt like forever, it looked like there was someone lying motionless on the ground up ahead in the darkness]
Hater: (squints) ... :O WANDER! (rushes over to the nomad's limp body and kneels next to him) :( Wander?... (tries to shake him awake)
Wander: [was completely unconscious, n was covered with scrapes n bruises, n it seemed like he might've broken his leg n had a huge cut on his forehead, blood matted on his furry head]
Hater: :( (uses his hand to try and get a signal from Peepers)
[there was no response, they were pretty out of range]
Hater: Ugh, damn it! (digs into the hat again) Need a blanket or something...
Hat: [produces a sword out of the blue]
Hater: (blinks) What? Why would I need?- (hears a low growl) o.o ... Oh that's why. (turns to face whatever was growling)
[as the hat's star illuminated the creature in the darkness, it revealed to be some kind of huge monster tht looked like a cross btwn a dragon n a centipede, growling thru its drooling mouth, as if offended at Hater taking away his snack]
Hater: ... (growls and points the sword towards the creature, staying in front of Wander) GET. BACK.
Monster: [growled out loud n snapped at Hater, then jab its head towards him to bite him, barely missing him as Hater dodged]
Hater: (jumps to one side before yelling, jumping upward onto the monster's head)
Monster: [roared at him n headbutted him, throwing him a distance away, then loomed ovr Wander, growling n drooling]
Hater: (groans... hands start sparking green)...Leave...him...ALONE!!! (charges with a roar, fists of lightning and punching the monster right in the face)
Monster: [roared in pain as it fell n hit against the wall of the gorge, debri falling ovr it, then ended up on its bk n it struggled to try n roll upright coz of its body mass]
Hater: (panting heavily before turning away to scoop Wander carefully in his arms, grab the hat and run off)
Monster: [managed to roll ovr n growled, starting to chase behind them]
Hater: :O Uh oh... (knows there isn't time to go up the rope and quickly uses his teleport power to get away from the monster and up onto safe ground; quickly tries to get a signal from Peepers again)
[finally getting some reception as Peepers' helmet com rang]
Peepers: Hello, issat u, sir?
Hater: Peepers! Found Wander, badly injured. Where are you?!
Peepers: I'm on my way to the rendezvous point. Where are u, sir?
Hater: Near this gorge, but be quick!
Peepers: Right, got it [followed the tracking device since Hater has the hat, then crossed the rendezvous point where Sylvia just arrived] Let's go, zbornak! Lord Hater has found the furball!
Sylvia: Wander...? (puts Peepers on her back) Hang on tight! (runs, following the directions from the watchdog)
Peepers: Woah! [held onto her reigns, directing her where to go as per the controller directions]
Sylvia: (soon reaches the gorge) Yo, Bonehead! You said you had...Wander...? (sees the condition the nomad is in)
Hater: (cradling him gently) He got attacked. We have to get him to the medic bay, fast.
Peepers: Alright. U remember where the ship is, right, sir? Teleport there n we'll hang onto u
Sylvia: (holds onto Hater too)
Hater: (quickly teleports them back to the ship)
Peepers: [once there, got on the ship to start the engine] Lets go! Time to get bk to the mother ship
Sylvia: :( Come on, come on...
Hater: (gently stroking Wander's face, still cradling him) ;(...
[the gang soon made their way bk to the mother ship, n before they got in, Peepers hv already radioed in for medics to wait for them at the landing docks]
Hater: (keeping his eye on Wander the whole time) :(
Sylvia: Hopefully this is where Wander is...
Hater: I hope so too...

[the nxt morning, Wander was not on his side of the bed, n he couldnt be found anywhere on the ship, not evn in the cafeteria where Peepers was getting ready to enjoy his Long John sandwich]
Hater: (looking around) Peepers, you've seen Wander recently?
Peepers: Wat? U finally lost him already? [looked at him teasingly]
Hater: (frowns) Have you seen him or not?
Sylvia: (sitting across from Peepers, gives a scowling look that the watchdog better answer his boss)
Peepers: [rolled his eyes] He was here abt a min ago, ordered a box of milk, then said he wanted to be alone for a while n asked if we hv any spare bottle of Orble Juice. He said he's gonna wander off for a while n be bk soon and I quote "Dont tell Sylvia" [looked at Sylvia] Wat? Like as if I can hide anything frm u wen u go hover mama ovr tht furball
Sylvia: (jolts up) HE WHAT!?!
Hater: He just left without informing me? ... (grows worried) Not good, this is not good...
Peepers: See wat I mean? Hover mama [sighed] Dont worry, I put a tracking device on his hat. U should be able to find him with this [held out a controller to Hater]
Hater: (takes it) Thanks, C Peeps.
Sylvia: :( But why...?
Peepers: [shrugged] Beats me, didnt tell me either. Personally, its good riddance, I'll say...
Hater: (growls and suddenly pins down Peepers by his neck, almost choking him) DAMN IT, PEEPERS! STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!
Sylvia: :O Whoa!
Hater: I GET it, you don't like Wander and you don't like having him around, BUT IF YOU DARE TELL ME ONE MORE TIME HE'S NOT WORTH HAVING AS MY MATE...!!! (gritting his teeth into fangs)
Peepers: :O O-O-Okay, okay, I-I-I get it! Say it, d-d-don't spray it! G-Geez, sir, w-wat has gotten into u?? Its like... Its like ur ACTUALLY i-i-in love with th-th-that furball or something...!!
Hater: (growls some more...releases Peepers) Yes... I admit it, okay?? I do love him! I just kept denying that feeling for so long, but now... he's out there somewhere, who knows if he's in some kind of danger or not??
Sylvia: We already know Pipsqueak here got the device set up, hopefully we can find Wander's location.
Peepers: [was speechless for a moment at Hater's admission as he slowly got on his feet] ....I'll prepare the mini ship... [walks off dejected]
Hater: And make it quick. (looks at the controller in his hands) ... :( Wander...

[another mth went by, n still no progress btwn Wander n Hater. Once in a while, Wander would let Hater satisfy his urges with touching, bt other than tht, they were still maintaining their distance, sort of. The only progress they had was tht Wander no longer slept on the mattress on the floor, bt has moved to sleeping with Hater in bed, bt tht and touching was the only physical contact they've evr had]
Hater: |-) Zzz... (resting in bed, one arm around Wander keeping him close)
Wander: [his head resting on the crook of Hater's shoulder, also snoozing, tho something in his dreams made him whimper]
Hater: (felt the nomad squirm a little in his grasp) ... (yawn) ...Wander?
Wander: [whimpered more in his sleep] No, pls... Pls don't do this... Wanda, no...!!
Hater: (thinks: Wanda...?) (shakes him a little) Wander, wake up. Wander?
Wander: Pls... Pls, dont do this...!! Mom...!! Pops...!! [screamed himself awake as he bolted upright]
Hater: (holds onto him by the shoudlers) Wander, it's ok, it's ok! (is worried for him) Look at me, Wander!
Wander: [panting breathlessly as his eyes tried to focus, welling up as he stared at Hater until his brain caught up with him, tho he couldnt control his tears frm falling]
Hater: :( Hey, hey, hey... (hugs him, rubbing his back in comfort) Just a nightmare...just a bad dream, Wander...it's ok...
Wander: [clung onto him, still breathing heavily as his tears kept falling]
Hater: (rocks a little hugging him)... Wanna talk about it...?
Wander: [sniffled as he slowly calmed dwn, then shook his head]
Hater: :( Anything I can do to help?...
Wander: [shook his head n lay bk in bed, curled up in the blanket with his bk facing Hater, trying to go bk to sleep, tho still sniffling]
Hater: (holds Wander close, then softly hums a small tune to ease the nomad's nerves)
Wander: [purred a little at upon hearing the tune, eased into his embrace n slowly fell bk to sleep in his arms]
Hater: (sighs in relief, holding Wander gently for the rest of the night)
Hater: |-) Zzz... (resting in bed, one arm around Wander keeping him close)
Wander: [his head resting on the crook of Hater's shoulder, also snoozing, tho something in his dreams made him whimper]
Hater: (felt the nomad squirm a little in his grasp) ... (yawn) ...Wander?
Wander: [whimpered more in his sleep] No, pls... Pls don't do this... Wanda, no...!!
Hater: (thinks: Wanda...?) (shakes him a little) Wander, wake up. Wander?
Wander: Pls... Pls, dont do this...!! Mom...!! Pops...!! [screamed himself awake as he bolted upright]
Hater: (holds onto him by the shoudlers) Wander, it's ok, it's ok! (is worried for him) Look at me, Wander!
Wander: [panting breathlessly as his eyes tried to focus, welling up as he stared at Hater until his brain caught up with him, tho he couldnt control his tears frm falling]
Hater: :( Hey, hey, hey... (hugs him, rubbing his back in comfort) Just a nightmare...just a bad dream, Wander...it's ok...
Wander: [clung onto him, still breathing heavily as his tears kept falling]
Hater: (rocks a little hugging him)... Wanna talk about it...?
Wander: [sniffled as he slowly calmed dwn, then shook his head]
Hater: :( Anything I can do to help?...
Wander: [shook his head n lay bk in bed, curled up in the blanket with his bk facing Hater, trying to go bk to sleep, tho still sniffling]
Hater: (holds Wander close, then softly hums a small tune to ease the nomad's nerves)
Wander: [purred a little at upon hearing the tune, eased into his embrace n slowly fell bk to sleep in his arms]
Hater: (sighs in relief, holding Wander gently for the rest of the night)

Hater: (opens the door to his room) See something familiar?
(On his bed lay indeed a familiar object...green, floppy and showed its golden star on front)
Wander: [gasped in surprise] :O My hat! I thought u threw it away!
Hater: I'm not THAT mean. But yeah, just kept it in hiding...that's all. (rubs the back of his head and lets Wander down to the floor)
Wander: [quickly ran to the hat n hugged it tight, purring]
Hater: (smiling, that Wander was happy to see his hat again) ... (comes over and sits on the bed, fiddling with his hands)
Wander: [looked up at him n smiled, sat nxt to him n nuzzled] Thanks for not throwing it away. It's very important to me. The hat is basically my first friend in my travels before I met Syl
Hater: You've had it for a long time, huh?
Wander: Ever since I was born, reli. It used to belong to my great grandpa who's also a wanderer like me. Pops didn't get his wandering genes, bt he kept it after inheriting frm Grandpa for sentimental reasons. I always talk to it n play with it until I was old enough to inherit it. It is like the brother I never had. I'm the only boy in a litter of pure girls, bt just my luck to be intersex, u see
Hater: I see... So, it's rare for your kind to be...having both parts? (slightly flushing)
Wander: A little rare, bt not unheard of. Happens once every 10 generations
Hater: (nods in understanding) Um... I might've actually tried using the hat a few times but it does not like me apperently. ^^;;
Wander: Maybe it's coz of wat u do to me. We hv a special bond, so it roughly knws wat happened to me n wat u did. Bt don't worry, in time, it'll learn to trust u like I will...eventually. Right, Hatty?
Hat: [looks as if it has a distrustful frown at Hater]
Hater: Well...hopefully. (looks away again)
Wander: [puts the hat on] Ahh, much better. I'm hungry. Let's go see wat they're serving at the cafeteria, Hatty [got off n made his way out the room]
Hater: (watches Wander leave) ...(sighs, slightly gripping at his chest) :(...

Hater: (is in the middle of trying to beat a level but is having no such luck) Come on, you... (dies in game, yet again) >< Damn it!
Wander: [quietly enters n sits nxt to him] Maybe u should try getting the genie lamp first THEN jump ovr the lava n stab the fire alien
Hater: Yeah, thanks. (blinks before pausing game) Oh hey, Wander.
Wander: [looked up at him with a small smile] Hi, Hatey [sees the bowl of popocorn btwn them] Can I hv some?
Hater: (nudges the bowl towards him) Sure.
Wander: [ate as he watched Hater restart his level, n clapped wen he succeeded in clearing it] Yayy! Tht was amazing!
Hater: :D Yes, finally! Hater#1 superstar! (settles down, looking away again) ...s-so...
Wander: [looked up at him again, then takes a deep breath before scooching closer to Hater] So... How was planet conquering going?
Hater: Had to skip one planet. Too many weird things on it. >< (pauses)...You still don't... do you...? (hinting the nomad still doesn't trust him...)
Wander: [doesnt reply, bt reached his hand to hold his pinky, somehow looking so cute n adorable like tht as he looked dwn with a tiny blush on his face] ...I'm... I'm getting there...
Hater: (flushes at the touch) I know...it's just...I still wish there was at least something I could do...but you probably won't let me anyhow...
Wander: [bit his lip for a while, then slowly climbs up to sit on Hater's lap] ...I'm OK with just...touching... [looked up at him knowingly]
Hater: (flushes even more)... You mean I can...?
Wander: [blushed] Just touches... for now... [strokes Hater's lap gently]
Hater: (flushes even more)... Well... since I somewhat have your permission... (picks up Wander gently, laying him on his back and kneeling over him, his hand stroking gently through the others fur.)
Wander: [trembled a little at the touch, part of him still a bit scared, bt tries to distract himself by stroking Hater's thighs]
Hater: (shivers a little from Wander's touching but leaned forward, grazing his lips gently along the nomad's neck)
Wander: [breathed out shakily at Hater's lips on his neck, his hands gripping onto his cloak as his hips unconsciously thrust up]
Hater: (hums) ...Do... do you mind if I did something...? (starting to flush more in the face)
Wander: [was a little hesitant, bt decided to give him a chance n nodded]
Hater: (swallows, moving downward holding Wander's hips in his hands) ...Just try to relax... (leans in, giving a flick with his tongue down there)
Wander: [gasped n threw his head bk a bit as he felt Hater's tongue on his nether region] Oh gob...!
Hater: (first starts with his cock, sucking it and then moved to give some attention to the pussy, licking it gently)
Wander: [whimpered as he gripped onto Hater's horns to anchor himself at the sensation, panting as he threw his head bk again] Nnnhh... H-Hatey~(heart)
Hater: (hums, giving both parts of Wander equal attention, feeling him quiver)~
Wander: [quiver he did as he could feel Hater's tongue all ovr his cock n pussy, sending jolts of pleasure up n dwn his spine]
Hater: (keeps licking, waiting for Wander to release)
Wander: [started hyperventilating as he felt himself getting close, wanted to push Hater's head away coz he was afraid he would be disgusted if he came in his mouth]
Hater: (pauses a moment, pulling his mouth away and using both his hands on both of Wander's parts) It's okay... go ahead, Wander...
Wander: [whined out as he finally lost it, coming all ovr Hater's hands on both ends, his bk arched off the floor as he trembled in ecstasy before slowly slumping dwn, panting]
Hater: (smiles a little, wiping his hands on his cloak and leaned in to stroke Wander's cheek) Is that better...?
Wander: [breathing heavily, twitching a little as he came dwn frm his high] Nnnhhh... Yeah... Felt reli good... Sorry abt just now, I just... I just didnt want u to think I'm disgusting by letting loose in ur mouth...
Hater: (kisses him gently) You didn't have to worry... (hisses from the sudden feeling in his boxers) >///< Ugh...
Wander: [noticed the dull glow underneath the cloak] U... want me to take care of tht? [blushed]
Hater: (frowns, a little concerned) Are...you okay with that...? I don't want you doing something if you don't...feel comfortable with it...
Wander: [bit his lip, then nodded] Like I said, I'm good with touching. U... U hv to guide me tho, coz... coz I'm not sure if I'd do it right... [blushes cutely]
Hater: (flushes even more, sitting back to lift his cloak and slowly pull down his boxers)
Wander: [being able to see his cock clearly now, he gulped as he realized how big it actually is, n the way it glowed green, illuminating his hand wen he reached to stroke it, almost in fascination]
Hater: (guides the nomad's hand forward, placing it on his cock and helping him get a headstart with stroking it)
Wander: [gulped again at how big it felt in his hand, surprised tht he was able to fit it inside him as he stroke it gently up n dwn in slow mo]
Hater: (pets the back of Wander's head) Just relax... it won't bite... (bits his lip a little from the touches)
Wander: [nodded as he kept it up, increasing the pace a little bit as he kept studying the glowing manhood before him, running his thumb across the tip a few times]
Hater: (hisses) A-aah...~ (leans his head back slightly, enjoying the feel of the nomad's tiny hands)
Wander: [used both hands as he couldnt reli do it all with one hand, his face a thoughtful look as he wondered whether he should try it, unconsciously licking his lips]
Hater: (senses what Wander wants to do)... You can...go ahead...~ (biting his lip again)
Wander: [takes a deep breath n leans in, tentatively licking the tip first, not exactly sure wat he was doing]
Hater: (moans soflty, placing his hand on the back of Wander's head to help guide him some more)
Wander: [opened his mouth n started sucking the tip, his hand still a little busy stroking the rest of the cock, tho he sorta forgot to tuck his teeth in]
Hater: (hisses a little) M...maybe use your lips mostly...aahh~...(it was feeling good to him but he didn't want to make Wander feel uneasy)
Wander: [said a muffled "Sorry" before using more of his lips, trying to take in as much as he could fit his mouth in, sucking n licking a little clumsily]
Hater: (still guides him petting the back of his head and was feeling pretty close) Nnn...W-Wander...
Wander: [using his hands to stroke the rest of the cock he couldnt fit in his mouth, trying to copy how Hater did it as he bobbed his head up n dwn the length, sucking n licking as best as he could]
Hater: (squirms, moaning softly until he came hard, forgetting to warn Wander about it)
Wander: [almost choked as he tasted Hater's essence in his mouth, quickly pulled away n the rest came onto his face, bt thankfully he shut his eyes to avoid an eyeful]
Hater: (breathes from his high, then notices what happened) Oh...Oh, s-sorry, forgot to give you a heads up about that... ^^;;
Wander: [looked up at him a little distressed, not sure whether to swallow Hater's come in his mouth or spit it out, n his face was pretty much covered in his come]
Hater: (uses his cloak to help wipe off Wander's face)
Wander: [decided to spit it out aftr all onto the cloak, bt could still feel the aftrtaste] U taste...odd, like almost bittersweet [licked his lips] A little warning nxt time there, Hatey [pouted a little]
Hater: ^^;; I know, I know... (rests a hand on the nomad's face) ...That WAS better then...THAT, wasn't it...? (is still a little worried about what he had done)
Wander: [smiled at him a little] Yeah... Much better... [scooted to sit nxt to him n leaned against his arm] It's OK, I said I forgive u, remember? I just need some more time to, u knw... Bt this is a start
Hater: Mhm... And um...left you a little something back in my room if you want to see...
Wander: [blinked] Sure [held out his hand] Take me there?
Hater: (nod) (lifts him in his arms)
Wander: [quietly enters n sits nxt to him] Maybe u should try getting the genie lamp first THEN jump ovr the lava n stab the fire alien

[a mth had passed since Wander n Sylvia stayed in Hater's ship. Wander was still not vry trusting towards Hater, bt at least he didnt avoid him or his physical contact as much as he did before, bt they still hv not had sex since then. Peepers n Sylvia's rivalry was seething at best, keeping up their civil appearance for the sake of their buddies]
Peepers: [was in the training room, doing some shadow fighting on his own]
Sylvia: (walks by but paused, quietly watching him shadow box)
Peepers: [did a few kick-flips, then the one-two jab, then a somersault before he realized he was being stared at] Oh, its u [huffed]
Sylvia: (leans against the wall) Don't mine me, just watching. Nice moves, though.
Peepers: [huffed again] I'm the Second in Command of the Watchdogs, I hv to hv some moves [kept at it, doing a few more jabs n kicks]
Sylvia: (watches some more)... Think you can take me?
Peepers: [raised a brow] U sure U can take me on?
Sylvia: (cracks her knuckles) Pretty sure I can, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: Alright. I've been itching for tht rematch. Bring it on, zbornak [got into fight stance ready]
Sylvia: (also gets into fighting stance, tail swishing)
Peepers: [made the first move, charging towards her, yelling out a battle cry as he aimed his punch at her]
Sylvia: (simply steps aside, easily avoiding him) -3- Missed~
Peepers: [rolled wen he missed to avoid falling, then grabbed Sylvia's tail n pulled her bkwards until she fell on her ass] Hah! I'm tougher than I look
Sylvia: >_< ... Think again! (swirls her tail around with Peepers still clinging to it)
Peepers: [squeaked as he clung to it, then let n fell on his ass as well] Oh its so on now
Sylvia: (gets on all fours and pounces him) Geronimo!
Peepers: :O [somersaulted bkwards n manage to land a kick on Sylvia's shoulder before the zbornak landed on him n they ended up rolling ard trading punches until they're worn out, then wen they finally stopped, he was pinned right under Sylvia, panting breathlessly]
Sylvia: Heheh, you just can't...handle...this... (notices their position)
Peepers; [took a while to notice their position too n just stared at her blankly, his face blushing a little]
Sylvia: (flushes a little before quickly backing off) Um...good fight, we good? ^^;;
Peepers: [quickly got bk on his feet n dusted himself too] U-Um, yeah, we'll call it a tie...for now...
Sylvia: R-Right... (looks awkward for a moment before leaving the room)
Peepers: [watched her leave awkwardly, then sighed n picked up his sweat towel to wipe himself, muttering] Tht's enough training for one day...
Sylvia: (walking quickly, almost bumping into the nomad) >< Oof.
Wander: [fell bk a bit] Ouch! [sees Sylvia] Oh hey, Syl. Where u been? U look kinda sweaty
Sylvia: Just some... boxing with the Pipsqueak, that's all. (clears throat) So...how have you been doing...?
Wander: Oh, tht's nice. Well... [shrugged] I'm OK, I suppose. Been getting along alright with Hater n all
Sylvia: He hasn't...done anything to you, has he...?
Wander: [shook his head] I think he wants to, bt he's trying to control himself, so he tries distracting himself with video games n planet conquering
Sylvia: Alright then. (her thoughts were slowly drifitng back to Peepers) -///-...
Wander: [didnt notice at first, also deep in his own thought] U think... U think I should cut him some slack n let him...?
Sylvia: (snaps out of it) Huh? Oh, well... only if you think you're okay with it... Just, don't hesitate to call me if he tries anything to harm you.
Wander: [smiled] Thanks, buddy [then notices] Say, ur pretty out of it there, Syl. Something bothering u?
Sylvia: ^^;; N-Nope, nothing at all. Just... give me a call if he tries anything funny. (hurries after to her room)
Wander: [blinked, then shrugged n made his way to the gaming room where Hater plays his video games]
Peepers: [was in the training room, doing some shadow fighting on his own]

Hater: (lies on his bed, simply staring at the ceiling)
Wander: [lying dwn on the mattress nxt to Hater's bed, curled up in his usual fetal position n facing the wall, bk facing Hater]
Hater: :(... (gets up and brings one of his extra blankets over to Wander, laying it over him) Just in case... (goes back to his own bed)
Wander: [flinched a little at the blanket ovr him, then looked up to see Hater bk in his bed. His finger felt the nice smooth fabric tht made him feel warm n smiled a little] Thanks...
Hater: (looking away, slightly) ... Never hurts to help... (said this quietly)
Wander: [heard tht n smiled a little wider this time, then cuddled into the blanket to feel the warmth. A long pause later...] Hatey...?
Hater: Hm? (looks over at the nomad, a little worried)
Wander: [was still not facing him] ...Why did u become an overlord? Why do u want to conquer the nine galaxies?
Hater: ...It...It was a royal blood family thing... but they dissed me when they found out I was...swinging that way... (shrugs) But I still do it anyhow, despite not always being good at it. I'll admit that...
Wander: [another pause] Tht means ur family disowned u then? Why still do it?
Hater: ...I didn't know what else to do with my life...(hugs himself)
Wander: U could become a traveling rockstar or something. I knw u love to do ur tunes with ur electric guitar. I've seen it a few times wen I was captured by u. Or if u still wanna rule, u could just settle dwn on a random planet n rule there...
Hater: ...I suppose... (sees Wander's still trembling a little) Still cold?
Wander: A little bit. Is it always this chilly in ur ship?
Hater: Mostly when we travel into pretty deep space... (thinks for a moment; he's probably gonna say no to this, but...) (gets off his bed again, coming over slowly)
Wander: [felt Hater move n finally turned to face him, his face a little scared as he curled up tighter in the blanket]
Hater: ... (lies down and gently pulls over close to him) Not gonna do anything you don't want me to, just trying to take this more slowly... (lets his hand pet the back of Wander's head to ease his nerves)
Wander: [relaxed a little frm the petting n tentatively lay his head against the skeletor's chest, purring a bit as he closed his eyes] Thank u, Hatey... Ur not so evil after all
Hater: You figured, huh? (just holds him close to keep him warm)
Wander: [basked in the warmth of Hater's arms as he slowly drifted to sleep] G'night, Hatey... (sleepy)
Hater: (smiles softly)... Night, Wander... (kisses his forehead before falling alseep himself)
Hater: (lies on his bed, simply staring at the ceiling)
Wander: [lying dwn on the mattress nxt to Hater's bed, curled up in his usual fetal position n facing the wall, bk facing Hater]
Hater: :(... (gets up and brings one of his extra blankets over to Wander, laying it over him) Just in case... (goes back to his own bed)

Tears of The Rose-Chp6
[a couple hours later, Wander finally came out of the bath smelling nice n clean, although his fur was dripping wet n made him look a little like a drowned cat]
Wander: S-Sorry for the wait... Guess I was due for a rinse anyways...
Hater: (glances over his shoulder) It...it's okay...
Wander: Anything I can dry myself with...? [gestured at his wet fur]
Hater: (frowns, before pulling off his cloak and tossing it the nomad's way) You can use this. I don't mind, I've got tons of those.
Wander: [was hoping for a hair dryer or something, bt then realize Hater doesn't hv hair n has no need for it n sighed, sitting dwn on the mattress on the floor n drying himself with the cloak]
Hater: (glanced a few times but kept his gaze turned away, feeling a small lump in his throat)
Wander: [could feel the awkwardness in the air again n mumbled] It's OK, if u got something to say, just say it
Hater: ...I wasn't really thinking at all what I was doing...I just went ahead and did it... and you have every right to...hate me. You've just tried to be my friend all this time and what do I do in return?... What I just did... :(
Wander: I don't...hate u. Hate is such a strong word. Bt... Part of me feels tht I shouldn't be ard u anymore, bt I can't leave bcoz I'm bound to u now... I want to be friends with u, I reli do... I thought tht if we become real friends, then u would stop being so mean n evil, tht maybe there is something good in u worth fighting for... I guess... I guess wat I'm trying to say is... I forgive u, bt...we can't be friends anymore...not as long as I'm still...mad at u. Gob I hate being mad, bt I am. I'm mad at u right now, n I shouldn't, bcoz I'm ur mate, n mates r not supposed to be mad at each other, bt I am, n it's not going away... [starts rambling again]
Hater: (watches Wander ramble, biting his lower lip before brining the nomad close to him in an embrace, careful not to hold him too tightly) ...We can work something out....can't we?
Wander: [his breath hitched again at the hug, then bit his lip, not returning it] ...Yeah... We can... [pushed him away gently] ...bt not now... [looks away]
Hater: (frowns again at the push)... Mhm... :(
(Both hear punches outside Hater's door and yells from the Watchdogs)
???: You tell me where my buddy is, or SO HELP ME GOB!
Hater: ... :O How did she get on the ship??
Wander: [recognized the voice] S-Sylvia...?
Peepers: [barged into the room, looking like he just went thru a wringer] Lord Hater, sir! Its the zbornak! She caught up with us! She's on a rampage~!!
Sylvia's voice: Get back here! (her tail wraps around Peepers, pulling him back)
Hater: Uh oh. (knows how Sylvia is with his watchdogs)
Wander: I... I better go show her tht I'm OK [gets up frm the mattress n walked out of Hater's room, tho still hobbling a little frm the soreness]
Peeper: EEEEEKKKK!!! [was tossed ard like a rag doll by Sylvia's tail]
Sylvia: (pins him against the wall) I swear if you don't tell me where Wander is...!
Hater: Hey, you put down my commander!
Sylvia: (looks up)... Wander! (shoves the skeletor aside to embrace her buddy)
Wander: [winced a little, then puts up a brave front n did his usual smile] Hey, buddy, u finally arrived
Peepers: [was crumpled on the ground] @_____@
Sylvia: (holds him gently) What did he do to you? What did he do?
Hater: Ow... Hey I thought I left you back on Desert 55?
Sylvia: I hitched a ride with a couple of guys. (scowls) Now what DID you DO to him?!
Wander: He didn't do anything, Syl. Nothing...bad reli. Its OK. I'm fine, see? [spread his arms to show her he was OK, thankfully his fur covered the bite marks Hater left on his neck]
Sylvia: (looks closely) ...Did he set his spider on you?
Hater: Hey, Captain Tim has a NAME, you know!
Wander: No, he didnt. I havent seen it all day. Like I said, I'm fine. U worry too much [gives her his award-winning smile, hoping tht it'll calm her dwn]
Sylvia: (frowns...glares at Hater) What did YOU do? (is still waiting for a straight answer)
Hater: ^^;; Now, now, don't be freaking out but...
Sylvia: Well, he can't be walking weirdly for no reason! (blinks...then looks at Wander) Did...Wander, did he...??
Wander: [a slightly long pause] ......No...? [deep dwn, he knew he wasnt gonna be able to keep this secret anyways]
Sylvia: ...(suddenly lunges at Hater) YOU SON OF A FLARP!!!
Hater: O_O;;; W-wait! (is given numerous punches) @_@
Wander: [gasped, then his instinct as a mate ran forward n shielded Hater frm Sylvia, trying to pull her arms away] No, no, no, don't, Sylvia! Don't! Pls! STOP!!! [shoved Sylvia away hard]
Sylvia: (falls against the wall) ...W-Wander, what are you...?
Hater: (holding his jaw) That smarted...but I deserved that, actually.
Wander: Pls... Pls dont hurt him... [looking dwn, didnt want to meet Sylvia's eye out of guilt, bt didnt stop shielding Hater either] He... He's mine now... I... I wont let u hurt him...
Sylvia: ...But...how then...?
Hater: Look, what I did, somehow makes him my partner. But...(groans) I know I screwed up and all he wanted was being my friend but I only couldn't accept it because of these...these stupid mixed feelings! (turns to Peepers who slowly got to his feet) Thanks for putting the idea in my head, Peepers... -__-
Peepers: [still a bit confused frm the blows to his head] Wha...? Wat r u talking abt, sir...? @____@
Wander: I'm sorry, Sylvia. Wat's done is done. U remember wat I told u abt my customs on mates? [looks up at her sadly, bt maintain his smile] I can't go with u, buddy. I'm... I'm bound to him. Sorry u came all the way here for nothin'...
Sylvia: ... :( But do you even want to go through with this?
Hater: Seems you don't really have a choice, do you? (looks at Wander) But if you're willing to go through with all this... I'm willing to make it up to you somehow...just...somehow...
Sylvia: Wander...? (waits for his reply to Hater's offer)
Wander: [looking dwn, a long pause later] ......Like u said, I don't hv a choice. It's part of who I am as a species. I can't go with another, not evn aftr u die [turns to Hater] Bt ur not star nomad, the rules dont apply to u. U dont hv to put up with it bcoz of me. So go ahead, kill me n u'll be free. Isn't tht wat u always wanted? For me to be out of the way?
Peepers: Oooh, I'd take tht chance if I were u, sir. Its not always u get Wander volunteering to die for u [rubbed his hands with glee]
Hater: (pauses himself) ...No.
Sylvia: ??
Hater: No I'm not gonna go through with a killing or anything like that. I may have wanted that for a while but as of now... it doesn't seem right...
Peepers: :O Sir~!!
Wander: R u sure? R u sure u want me to be bound to u, n u to me? There's no turning bk aftr this
Hater: ...It's the least I can do after what I just did.
Sylvia: So...Me and Wander are pretty much living here now?
Hater: I'm sure Peepers can set up a room for you. (scowls at the watchdog) Got it, C Peeps?
Peepers: [scowled bk, then glared at Sylvia before groaning] ....Fine~ [stomps off]
Wander: Just so u knw, anytime u wanna bk out of the deal...u hv my permission to end my life. I won't resist [turned to Sylvia sharply] N u won't either. This is how we star nomads do things ard here, OK? Promise me
Sylvia: (blinks)... (mutters) fine... (gives the 'I'm watching you' at Hater before following Peepers)
Hater: ...(sighs) Well...you told me some sort of truth so I might as well do the same...
Wander: [blinks] Wat is it?
Hater: (swallows turning away slightly) I...I did have feelings about you...more then just friendly feelings... but where I grew up, they didn't approve of gays or lesbians, and I was just worried I'd be letting down my family liking someone... There was just something about you I couldn't place an the whole time I've kept denying it... (sighs) But now I've messed up big time... and can't take it back now...
Wander: [stared blankly for a while as the whole thing sink in] ....Its OK. I understand. Its still a lot to take in tho... N technically I'm intersex, so tht doesnt reli count as gay...right?
Hater: (looks back) ...Didn't you...I dunno, LIKE like me as well at a few points? I couldn't help feeling there was that kind of vibe. (feels a little embarrased for asking this)
Wander: [blushed a little as he looked dwn] Maybe... Maybe just a little... Especially wen u wanted to play Spin the Bottle on ur birthday tht time... Tbh, I was often looking forward to run into u evry planet I visit, n was a bit disappointed wen u werent there... N at tht desert planet we both got stranded in the prison dimension where Thrax is, I thought it was my chance to bring us closer... I just didnt think u felt the same way, since u were so...distant, so I decided to try us as friends first... [rubbed the bk of his neck awkwardly]
Hater: ...(takes Wander's hands in his) Like I've said... I'll do all I can to make it up to you...
Wander: [looked at the hand n slowly pulled away] ...I'm gonna go rest now... [walked away to the direction of Hater's room. Now tht they're bonded, his instinct naturally led him to go to his mate's quarters]
Hater: :(... (sighs, knowing this would take a while before Wander can fully trust him)
[meanwhile Peepers led Sylvia to the staff sleeping quarters]
Peepers: [mumbling n grumbling furiouslly to himself as he searched thru his key card box for the vacant room he was supposed to prepare for Sylvia]
Sylvia: (has her arms crossed in thought about this whole ordeal)
Peepers: [finally reached their destination] Here. This room used to belong to Lord Hater wen he first started this ship, bt has moved to his bigger one now after renovation [tossed her the keycard]
Sylvia: (takes it)...Thanks, I guess.
Peepers: Just so u knw, I'm not happy abt this arrangement! Lord Hater should've taken tht furball's offer wen he had the chance! Now he's going all softy ovr some stupid species culture rules... (grumble grumble)
Sylvia: (leans in close to his face) Look, Pipsqueak. I'm not happy about it either but I trust Wander and his judgement. He knows what he's doing and you had better back off if you know what's good for you.
Peepers: Oooh, like I'm so scared~ [sarcastically waved his hands abt] U may hv landed a few punches on me just now, bt I am not afraid of u, n I'm not afraid to use my gun on either of u. Mark my words, if I find anything, ANYTHING, fishy tht ur trying to do to Lord Hater, I will blast u both to kingdom come!
Sylvia: (frowns) So...you're saying you prefer your boss being heartbroken and misrable instead of being happy with something he wants?
Peepers: I prefer he get his head out of the clouds n do wat he does best: conquering the nine galaxies. Pfft! Pls~ As IF he would want ur furball of a friend. He's just stuck in a rut no thanks to Wander as usual. I bet once his head is cleared, he'll see this is all a big mistake n will be bk to his old self, n the sooner he gets rid of Wander, the better
Sylvia:... (pins Peepers against the wall growling) If YOU lay so much as a finger on my buddy, I'll blind you on the spot. (lets him fall to the ground) You'll be needed back on your precious little job soon. (uses the keycard to enter her room)
Peepers: [coughed as he got on his feet, then cringed a little as Sylvia slammed the door at his face] This isn't ovr, zbornak! I demand a rematch! [grumbled angrily to himself as he stomped off to his job post]
Wander: S-Sorry for the wait... Guess I was due for a rinse anyways...
Hater: (glances over his shoulder) It...it's okay...
