[two days later, it was shore leave time, which all the Watchdogs look forward to as it is their day off]
Peepers: [talks into the PA announcement] Attention all Watchdogs. We r now approaching Planet Seuss 8.0 in abt T-minus 3 mins, so get ready to party coz its shore leave soon!
Watchdogs: (cheer) ^^
Peepers: [turns to Hater while he flies the ship] So how's ur furball n the litter doing, sir?
Hater: Pups are doing good, as is Wander.
Peepers: Too bad he has to hv bedrest for at least a week, n wearing those pads n boxer shorts for tht week no less. I'm sure he'd like to enjoy some shore leave with us
Hater: Well, he knows he needs it. But I did promise I'd bring him back a little something.
Peepers: Something tht involves the big day for both of u? [grinned at him]
Hater: (flushes) M-maybe... >>
Peepers: Heh, good for u then, sir
Hater: Yeah, it is. :)
Peepers: So... [hesitated a bit] I asked the zbornak out for dinner tonight
Hater: (raises an eyebrow at him)
Peepers: It's not a date tho! Its just... something to make up to her for putting her thru danger during my survey of Planet Genma... [blushed a little]
Hater: Whatever you say, C Peeps.
Peepers: [sees the planet incoming n announced in the PA] We're arriving at Planet Seuss now, going to the landing dock soon. Everyone get ready to the exit
Watchdogs: (cheer again)
Sylvia: (watching from the window) :)
Wander: [managed to finally put the litter to sleep aftr feeding n was feeling peckish, bt he didnt want to bother Hater to get it for him, so despite orders for bedrest, he got up n came out of his room, looking ard to make sure coast is clear before sneaking out, tho accidentally bumped into Sylvia in the process] Oooff! >.<
Sylvia: >< ... Wander? What're you doing out of bed, mister?
Wander: Err... Umm... I was...sleepwalking...? [tried to worm his way out of it]
Sylvia:...You were craving something, weren't you?
Wander: [grinned awkwardly] More like starving, actually... Breastfeeding takes a lot outta me
Sylvia: (sighs and picks up the nomad) All you had to do was ask, buddy.
Wander: Sorry. I didn't wanna trouble anyone, especially not Hater. He's done so much for me already
Sylvia: (carries him) I don't think he would've minded, you know. He is trying.
Wander: [held onto her] He's trying too hard. I worry he might work himself to death. At least let me handle the little things on my own. I knw he feels bad for...wat he did, bt it's no reason for him to punish himself forever
Sylvia: You know how he is, Wander. But hopefully he can forgive himself.
Wander: [chuckled sadly] For an evil overlord, he sure is a big softie
Sylvia: Eeyup, same with Pipsqueak. (flushes to herself)
Wander: Oh? Does someone get lucky with a certain Watchdog~? <w<
Sylvia: (flushes even more) He-he just wants to make up for what happened on that planet. >.>;
Wander: Oh? Wat does he hv planned~? [nudged her cheekily] Ehh? Ehh?
Sylvia: >_> ...Just a friendly dinner, nothing else.
Wander: Uh-huh, suuuuure~~~ (smirk) Anyway, I'm reli famished. Take me to the cafeteria so I can eat
Sylvia: Way ahead of you. (heads for cafeteria)
[The duo were in the cafeteria n Wander was soon ordering a small mountain of food]
Wander: Mmmm~~~ :P
Sylvia: (giggle) You silly furball.
Wander: Can't help it if I'm starving. I didn't think I'd be THAT hungry after nursing the litter. I feel like I could eat a horse
Sylvia: Well, you're going to be like that for a while. Have you and Hater spoke about when you're having your big day?
Wander: Not reli. Everything kinda happened so fast [took big gulps of strawberry smoothie] Bt I'm guessing it'll be after I recover frm my birth, I guess
Sylvia: I see.
Wander: [sees Hater coming in] Crap! [hides under the table]
Sylvia: ?
Hater: Hey, have you checked on Wander? (notices the food)
Sylvia: Yeah, I've checked. Also...I was kinda in the mood for a snack. ^^;
Hater: (stares questionly) ...
Wander: [tries to keep quiet, bt accidentally bumped on the table bottom wen he tried to adjust himself, dropping one of his sandwich]
Hater: ? What was that?
Sylvia: Um... ^^;;
Wander: [his hunger taking over his common sense, he tries to reach for the dropped sandwich, his hand visible to Hater]
Hater: (notices) ... Wander... (is sounding annoyed)
Sylvia: Oh boy. o.o;
Wander: [flinched at his voice, then slowly comes out frm his hiding plc] Eh heh heh... Hi, Hatey... [grabs the sandwich n noms it]
Hater: You were supposed to be bed resting.
Sylvia: He was starving, you know. I was just helping him get some grub.
Wander: Sorry, I didn't want to trouble u with getting me food. Don't be mad? [looked up at him with a cute scared face]
Hater: (frowns) ... You were always the persistent one.
Sylvia: Says you. >>
Hater: (kneels down to Wander) But you don't have to worry, not mad... But you still need bed rest.
Wander: I knw... [looked dwn sadly, then peeked at the food, pointing at them] Can I get these to go to our room?
Hater: (carries Wander) Sure.
Sylvia: (follows Hater with Wander's plate of food)
Wander: [held onto Hater as they went bk to their room]
Hater: (opens door quietly to not awaken the litter and tucks Wander back in bed)
Sylvia: (sets Wander's plate on his bedside table)
Wander: [speaks softly as not to wake the litter as well] Thanks, guys. U reli shouldn't hv
Sylvia: Never hurts to help, buddy.
Hater: You just try and get some more rest.
Wander: :) Thanks [took a book to read while he continued to snack on his food in bed]
Hater & Sylvia: (leave him to eat and rest)
