Tears of The Rose-Chp27

[once they were in the mother ship, the trio went their separate ways, Hater to look for Wander n Sylvia to bring Peepers to rest]

Hater: (enters his room where the nomad would be) Wander?

[no reply; he was not in their room]

Hater: (thinks: maybe he's still at the Medic bay...?)

[the skeletor made his way to med bay to look for the nomad]

Doc: [looking thru his charts]

Hater: (peeks his head in) Hey, doc?

Doc: [turns to Hater's call] Oh, Lord Hater. Wat a pleasant surprise, wat kind I do u for?

Hater: Um, is Wander still in here?

Doc: Still here? Wat do u mean? He hasn't been here today. Am I supposed to expect him?

Hater: (blinks) I thought Sylvia sent him here because he wasn't looking so good. Don't tell me he ran off again?? O_O;;

Doc: I dunno. Is something the matter with him?

Hater: He kept saying it was indigestion but he looked a little feverish, almost queasy or something.

Doc: Hmmm... Well I can't make diagnosis until I see him personally. Maybe u can try finding him n bring him here

Hater: Hopefully he's still around here somewhere...

[meanwhile Peepers was brought to his room n being tucked into bed by Sylvia]

Sylvia: Now you just stay put and get lots of rest. You hear?

Peepers: [mumbled something incoherent n curled up in his covers, closing his eye]

[within Peepers' room, the zbornak saw for the first time tht it was filled with memoirs of the Watchdog n the Skeletor overlord together during their misadventures n conquest, even hv a cork board of their pictures, with a self-made banner that reads "Peepers + Hater = 4eva"]

Sylvia: ...(sighs) He did love him...and now... (looks to Peepers) He'll have a hard time moving on from it... :( ... (leaves to let him get some sleep)

Peepers: [muttered] ...Nnnhh, Sylvia...?

Sylvia: (stops) ...What is it?

Peepers: ....U think there reli is no chance of me n Lord Hater...? ....R we re ovr...?

Sylvia:... I just think he'd prefer you as his second in command...and his friend, too.

Peepers: ....Why me? Of all ppl, why do u choose me? I thought for sure u n tht furball were an item...

Sylvia: (sits next to him) I guess, love just works in really strange ways. Plus, me and Wander are more like brother and sister.

Peepers: [his eye was still closed while he talked] Then I suppose....I should give up, huh...?

Sylvia: (pets his head gently) There's always someone for somebody...

Peepers: U think tht someone for me...might be u?

Sylvia: (blushes a little)...Yes. :)

Peepers: [a small pause later] ....Maybe. Maybe not. We'll see. I still need time. Don't worry, I'm not gonna run away again... I just...need some time to process all this, to ACTUALLY process this n not try to drink it away...

Sylvia: (nod) Take your time then. Ring up if you need anything. (gets up to leave)

Peepers: OK... [another pause] U better chk if tht furball is knocked up or not. He DID do it with Lord Hater during his heat for a week [curls bk into his blanket n slowly drifted off] |-)

Sylvia: (blinks) ... Sure. (leaves him to sleep)
