[as he was saying this, Peepers just got out the casket frm cold storage n was abt to head out]
Sylvia's voice: Pipsqueak?
Peepers: [looked up n turned ard] Oh, hey, Syl. Didnt hear u coming
Sylvia: Has Wander awoken then?
Peepers: Yeah. Said he wants to bury the stillborn pups. I'm supposed to meet them at the plc of his choice, if only I knw how to get there, I forgot to ask them...
Janet: Hiya, pips [popped in thru the window] Wander told me to show u the way. Hey, Sylvia
Sylvia: Hey, Janet. How's Wander and Hater?
Janet: No surprise tht Wandy-poo was pretty upset, n so was Hater... Bt they decided to be strong abt it n keep in mind tht they still hv 4 healthy babies. I ovrheard tht Wander wants to bury the pups himself, its something like a tradition to his kind. Said something abt "the one who carries the child should be the one to bury it" or something
Peepers: I suppose I can see his point. He's the one who lost them, he's the one who has to learn to let go
Sylvia: :( I hate to see him that sad...
Janet: He said in time, he'll be OK. For now, he wants to do this for his peace of mind
Sylvia: Okay.
Peepers: Let's not waste time then. Lead the way
Janet: Got it. Follow me
[the duo followed Janet as they made their way to their destination, where Wander n Hater were already waiting
Hater: :( ...
Sylvia: (goes to Wander, giving him a hug in comfort)
Wander: [hugged her bk, tears coming bk again] ;(
Sylvia: (rubs his back) It'll be okay, buddy...
Wander: [doesn't reply, just sobbed for a bit in her arms]
Peepers: [carries the casket to Wander] Here ya go, Wander
Sylvia: (pets his head before letting Wander go to do what he needed to) :(
Wander: [sniffled a bit, then went to Peepers to take the casket, then carries it in his arms as he went deeper into the forest to find a spot for it]
Peepers: [followed behind him]
Hater: (hugging himself) ;(
Sylvia: (places hand on the skeletor's shoulder) :(
Janet: [nudged Sylvia n Hater to follow them as she followed behind Wander n Peepers]
Sylvia & Hater: (also follow Wander and Peepers)
[The group soon made their way to where Wander decided would be the best spot. Soon they find themselves standing underneath a huge sycamore-like tree tht had the view of the sky n the sun above]
Wander: This is perfect [knelt dwn, setting the casket aside n slowly started digging the ground with his hands]
Janet: I could-- [stopped by Peepers]
Peepers: [shook his head n gave her a "Let him do it" look]
Sylvia & Hater: (stand by silently watching)
Janet: [couldn't bear to watch him do it alone n nudged Hater to help him a little at least]
Hater: :( ... (moves forward, assisting a little with the digging)
Wander: [looked up for a bit to see Hater, then smiled sadly n continued digging, letting him help]
Hater: (digs a bit more) ... ;(
[After abt 20 mins, they both dug a hole deep enough for the casket]
Wander: [slowly takes the casket n opens it, revealing his two unborn pups, one skeletor n one nomad, nicely wrapped in a blue n pink blanket each]
Peepers: The skeletor is a girl n the nomad is a boy, so yeah, I used that colour blanket to wrap them]
Wander: Thanks, Peeps [smiled sadly, then stares at the pups] .... ;( [picks them up n hugs them as he sobbed]
Hater: (puts his face in his hands)
Sylvia: :(
Peepers: [petted Sylvia's bk]
Wander: [whispered] I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, my puppies... I'm so sorry... [rocks to n fro as he hugged the stillborns tight]
Sylvia: (hugs Peepers)
Hater: (sniffles)
Peepers: [hugs her bk, shedding a tear as well]
Wander: [looks up at Hater] Hatey... ;( [wanting him near]
Hater: (comes over) :( (hugs Wander, also embracing his unborn children)
Wander: [sobs in his arms] W...We hv to name them... They can't leave this world without a name...
Hater: ... Hope can be one of them... ;(
Wander: [stroke the skeletor girl] Yes... Hope... [stroke the boy nomad] And Destiny... ;(
Hater: Mhm... :(
Wander: [gave them a kiss on the forehead each before putting them bk inside the casket, closing it n slowly lowering it into the grave they dug]
Hater: (sniffles again) ;(
Sylvia: :( ...
Wander: [once the casket is in, slowly started filling the grave with dirt, covering the casket bit by bit]
Hater: (helps him do so)
[Soon the grave was covered, then Wander goes abt picking flowers by the roots to replant them over n ard the grave, all the while singing some kind of nomad native language lullaby]
Hater: ;(
Wander: [finished replanting the flowers n soon it looked almost like a beautiful small garden mound, then turns to Janet] Sorry to impose, but could u help with the headstone?
Janet: No problem at all [concentrated n soon popped out a rock tht looked like a headstone, n with her vines n sharp thorns, carved the stillborn pups' names on it]
Hater: ...(sniffle) ;(
Wander: [stared at his dirt-covered hands] .... ;(
Hater: (embraces Wander closely)
Wander: [embraced him bk, sobbing] ;(
Hater: (also sobs) ;(
[Everyone stayed there in silence, paying their respects]
Peepers: [finally broke the ice] ...So u ready to go now, Wander?
Wander: [a long pause] ....Yeah. Let's go [gives one last kiss on the headstone, then took Hater's hand, ready to go]
Hater: (walks with him) :(
Sylvia: :( ... (walks alongside Peepers)
Peepers: [held her hand as they walked]

Tears of The Rose-Chp99
[That night the pups spent it with Brad n Angel while Hater n Wander rested thru the night, the nxt morning, Wander was the first to stir]
Wander: Nnhh... [sits up n sees the suction cups attached to him, then stares at the pups for a while, letting his brain catch up with him]
Hater: (still sleeping) |-) Zzz...
Wander: [his brain finally caught up with him, then the memories of his two dead pups in his arms came flooding thru, n his tears started pouring out again] ;(
Hater: (yawn)... Wander?
Wander: [was sobbing, his hands covering his face]
Hater: (blinks, then recalls the events) ... :( Wander... (pulls the nomad close to him) ;(
Wander: I'm sorry... I'm so so sorry... It's my fault... I... I must've done something wrong... I killed our babies... ;(
Hater: No, no...we shouldn't be blaming ourselves for this... ;(
Wander: I can't help it! I'm the one carrying the babies! I should knw better! I should've known something is wrong!! Its my fault! IT'S MY FAULT!! ;( [sobs out loud, crying so hard, he was hiccuping]
Hater: (holds him close, rubbing his back) ;(
Wander: [sobs in Hater's arms, time passes by which almost felt like forever before he calmed dwn] ...Where are they...? Our... Our babies... The ones tht didn't make it...
Hater: (sniffles) P-Peepers took care of them... in a casket, perhaps... ;(
Wander: [sniffles] I... I wanna see them... I wanna bury them, with my own hands... [looked at Hater] Its something I hv to do, Hatey... Its part of my tradition, the one to carry the child must be the one to bury it...
Hater: (rubs his back some more) I can help, too. :(
Wander: [shook his head] U can watch... But its something I hv to do myself... Pls...
Hater: :( ...Okay.
Wander: [sees the remaining pups tht are in his embrace] Thank gob they're OK [cuddled them close n nuzzled them]
Hater: We've two boys and two girls.
Wander: Which is which?
Hater: The skeletor pups are boys, the nomad pups are girls.
Wander: [smiled sadly] ...We should name them
Hater: (nod) (picks up one of the girl nomads)
Wander: [thought for a bit] She's got my mother's shade of brown mixed with mine. Hazel comes in mind for her
Hater: :) Sounds cute.
Wander: Who's the second one... I mean... The nxt one after... :(
Hater: (picks up one of the skeletor pups)
Wander: He's got reli nice smooth bones, like ivory... That's it, Ivory. That'll be his name. Ur turn to name the other two, Hatey
Hater: :) Okay. (scops the other two, thinking what names would suit them)
Wander: [stroke Hazel n Ivory, smiling sadly]
Hater: :( ... (scoops up the second skeletor pup)
Wander: So got any ideas for him? [looking at the skeletor pup; unlike his brother Ivory, who's born a spitting image of Hater without hair, had a full set of hair a mix of orange like Wander's fur with green stripes in btwn]
Hater: Hmmm... Hunter?
Wander: (nod) Sounds nice, a rather strong name
Hater: (nod) Mhm.
Wander: Last one [gestured at the second nomad pup, which had red fur just like her big brother Crimson]
Hater: Scarlette.
Wander: [thought abt it then nodded] (nod) Sounds fitting. So we hv Hazel, Ivory, Hunter and
Scarlette. Heh, another one for the name book for us to keep track
Hater: (nod) Heh, yeah. (sighs a little) :(...
Wander: [sees his face n teared up a little, then takes a deep breath n spoke thru his tears] I wanna see them. Our stillborn pups. Its time I buried them. The sooner the better
Hater: (pets his shoulder) If you're ready to do this... :(
Wander: [sighed n wiped his tears away] I am. I hv to.
Hater: Alright then. (hugs him close)
Wander: [hugged him bk, giving him the greenlight to contact Peepers]
Hater: (uses his hand to contact Peepers)
Peepers: [was at the ship supervising the minor repairs] Hello, Commander Peepers speaking
Hater: Hey, C Peeps...We're...ready to bury them... the stillborns...
Peepers: Oh, right... U sure, sir?
Hater: Wander's ready to do so.
Peepers: Where does he want to bury them? I'll meet u guys there with the casket
Hater: (turns to Wander) Anywhere you want to bury them?
Wander: [thought abt it] I remember Janet showed tht plc where she displayed a whole bunch of sunsets to entertain me. Tht part of the woods is good, surrounded by nature n ovrseeing the sunrise n sunset. I want them to be there
Hater: (nod) (tells Peepers the location)
Peepers: Right, I'll see u guys there then [hangs up n made his way to get the casket]
Wander: [looks upward] Janet, I knw ur listening. Can u help Peepers show the way?
Janet: [slowly pops out] Yes, I can... U gonna be OK, Wandy-poo? :(
Wander: No... Not reli... :( But I will... Eventually...
Janet: [hugs him frm behind]
Hater: :(...
Wander: [sighed n gently let Janet go] U can help me keep an eye on our new litter here, right?
Janet: I'll hv my feelers on them, dont worry. U just go. U remember where it is?
Wander: Yeah, I do. I wonder if Sylvia is going there with Peepers...
Wander: Nnhh... [sits up n sees the suction cups attached to him, then stares at the pups for a while, letting his brain catch up with him]
Hater: (still sleeping) |-) Zzz...

Tears of The Rose-Chp98
[meanwhile, Peepers had gotten the casket frm Janet, put the pups inside n asked Janet to send the casket to the ship to be put in cold storage until they're ready to be buried, then he made his way to Brad's room, where Angel was playing with the pups happily]
Peepers: Hey guys... [looks a little sad]
Brad: :) Hey. (sees his expression) ...Something wrong?
Peepers: [sighed n told him in not so many details]
Brad: :O Oh...my...:( I'm sorry to hear that...
Peepers: Yeah, Lord Hater n Wander r taking it reli hard, n I dont wanna imagine how Wander would react once he come out of his state
Angel: (looks up) :(? (waddles over to hug the Watchdog)
Brad: (notices) She's sensed sadness from you...
Peepers: [blinked for a bit, then eased into the hug, hugging her bk] Thanks, squirt. Ur alright [petting her head]
Angel: :)
Brad: She really has taken after Demurra... Still, sorry about what's happened.
Peepers: Yeah, I can't evn imagine if something like tht happen to me, let alone someone as sensitive as tht furball...
Brad: Mhm...
Peepers: Hope the pups werent bothering u guys too much while they're here
Brad: No, they were fine. Little worried about Wander but Angel kept them distracted at least.
Peepers: Tht's good. Maybe if they're old enough, they'll hv to knw the truth tht they actually had 6 siblings, not 4
Brad: Yeah...
Peepers: Is it OK if the pups sleep with u tonight? Wander n Hater r gonna be busy with the new litter tonight probably, n tomorrow wen Wander comes out of his state... Well I don't think he'll be ready to face the older pups yet
Brad: I understand...and yeah, they can. (nod)
Peepers: Alright, hope it won't be too much trouble for ya
Brad: Not at all.
Peepers: [kneels before the pups] U be good little pups to ur Uncle Brad here, OK? N dont bully Angel now, u hear?
Pups: [squealed n giggled]
Angel: ^^
Pups: [resumed playing with Angel, going on her in a sandwich pile, giggling]
Angel: ><
Brad: ^^;; Oh dear. (giggle)
Peepers: |-( Wat did I JUST say, kids? [picks them off Angel one by one] Ur just as stubborn as ur old man [chuckles humorously]
Brad: (scoops up Angel)
Peepers: Now play nice, OK? I'll get u some milk supply n u will see ur Mama tomorrow, OK?
Pups: [squeaked in agreement]
Brad: :)
Peepers: Hey guys... [looks a little sad]
Brad: :) Hey. (sees his expression) ...Something wrong?

Tears of The Rose-Chp97
[Another couple mths passed by, n it was soon Wander's due date, tho it's been almost a week past, it seems the new litter is coming in slow]
Hater: (was feeding Wander) ^^
Wander: [allowed him to feed him, sitting on Hater's lap, then stroke his belly, his face looking a little worried]
Hater: (pets belly also) The babies will be okay. (to himself) I hope...
Wander: [had slowly started talking a couple weeks ago] Baby... Slow... Worry... Scared...
Hater: (hugs the nomad in comfort)
Wander: [nuzzled in his embrace for a while, then abt 10 mins later, his eyes suddenly opened n he started breathing hard]
Hater: W-Wander...? (feels something wet) :O Oh no...
Wander: [whined, crawling off Hater's lap painfully to get to the nest to give birth]
Hater: (kneels next to him) (thinks; you've done this before, you can do this again) Easy does it, Wander...
Wander: [got in the nest, the lower half of his body inside the nest while the top half is out n leaning against Hater, burying his face against his lap as he started pushing]
Hater: (encourages the nomad)
Wander: [breathed hard as he kept pushing along with the contractions, occasionally biting dwn on the robe hard]
Hater: That's it, easy...
Wander: [let out short whines as he could feel the first pup coming out]
Hater: Almost there...
Wander: [gripped onto Hater's lap tight n took a deep breath before he pushed one last time, the pup finally slid out of him in one fell swoop]
Hater: (picks it up) There we go. (helps it out of the sac)
[The pup took its first breath n started squealing, waking up the older litter tht was sleeping their crib]
Wander: [hears both the new pup cry n the old litter crying n whined worriedly]
Hater: (places the newborn pup next to Wander and turns to the litter) It's okay, kids, it's okay.
*knock knock knock*
??: Everything OK in there, sir? [It was Peepers' voice]
Hater: Peepers, a little help??
Peepers: [comes in n sees Hater with Wander, n pretty much guessed the situation] Oh I see. I'll bring the litter to Brad. His girl will keep them distracted [takes the older litter out of the crib]
Hater: (nod) (turns back to Wander to keep helping him out)
Peepers: Hang in there, furball [leaves the room with the older litter]
Wander: [whines wen Peepers took the older litter, a little worried]
Hater: (pets his head) They'll be alright, Peepers will take care of them.
Wander: [whimpered as he felt the next contraction n finally gave in to pushing]
Hater: There you go, Wander...that's it...
Wander: [kept pushing for 10 mins before finally the second one slid out of him]
Hater: (helps it out of the sac like he did the first one)
[Oddly the second one had no reaction at all, just lay still in Hater's hand]
Hater: (blinks)...Come on, little guy...(rubs it to try and get it breathing)
[No matter how much he rubbed, the pup was not reacting, like it was already gone before it left the womb]
Wander: [doesn't hear the pup cry n started whining, trying to lick it to get it going]
Hater: (fears the worst) No...no, no, no...
Wander: [whined as he kept licking, but it still had no response, tears start pouring out of his eyes as he feared the worst]
Hater: ;( No...
Wander: ;( Baby... Baby... No... [winced as another contraction came in, n whined in pain]
Hater: (wipes tears) I-it's okay...you still got it... :(
Wander: [whimpered n continued pushing]
[For the next 45 mins, Wander kept pushing, expelling out the pups one by one]
Wander: [was pushing dwn his 5th n prolly last one, whimpering as his furry face was wet n matted with his sweat n tears]
Hater: You got this, you got this...we're almost done...
Wander: [tries his best to push, but as usual, he was very tired out by the last few pups, shaking his head] Can't... Tired...
Hater: (pets his head) You can do this, Wander... :(
Wander: Can't... Tired...!! ;( [sobbing hard onto Hater's lap]
Hater: (rubs his head and back) Shh...you still got this...for the babies...
Wander: [whimpered before he crawled out of the nest, gripping onto Hater's robes tight n summoned the last strength he had n pushed dwn as hard as he could, then let out a loud cry as the 5th pup slid out together with a 6th n final pup]
Hater: :) (helps it out of the sac)
[The 5th pup squealed out its first breath of air, but like the 2nd pup, the 6th pup had no reaction]
Hater: ...No...(rubs it) no, not again, no... ;(
Wander: [sees the 6th pup not breathing n whined, trying to lick it awake in vain] ;( Baby... No, baby...
Hater: Not this again... ;(
Wander: [the reality of his 2nd n 6th pup were dead hit him, n he let out an agonized howl, crying out loud]
Hater: (puts face in his hand) ;(
Wander: Baby...!!! No, baby...!!! BABY~~!!! [hugged the dead pups tight in his arms, wailing in agony, his heart breaking]
Hater: (hugging himself, silently sobbing)
Peepers: [came in to chk on them, wondering wat was the commotion abt n gasped wen he saw it] Oh gob... [covered his mouth in shock]
Hater: (looks up) C...C Peeps... ;(
Peepers: [comes close tentatively] Oh gob, I'm... I'm so sorry...
Wander: [snarled at Peepers thru his tears, not wanting him to come closer to either of his pups, dead or alive]
Hater: Two of them...they didn't...;(
Peepers: Oh no... I'm so sorry, sir... [felt reli bad for them]
Wander: [sobbed n sobbed until he passed out frm fatigue, his arms still hugging the dead pups possessively]
Hater: (pets Wander's head gently)...;(
Sylvia: (peeks in) Hey, guys? Did I... miss...something...? (sees the unborn pups in Wander's hands)...:( Oh no...
Peepers: Oh, poor Wander... [patted Hater's bk] I'm so sorry for ur loss, sir
Hater: ;( Was...was it my fault that...?
Peepers: No, no, dont blame urself, these things happen sometimes in a litter birth. Its not ur fault, its not something u can control. Dont blame urself, sir
Hater: (sniffles)... :(
Peepers: Hey, look on the bright side. U still hv them [gestured to the 4 pups tht were alive n well, shivering n wriggling in the blanket Hater had wrapped them up during the birth]
Hater: True...
Sylvia: Have you checked their genders yet?
Hater: N-no...
Peepers: Want me to do the honours?
Hater: (nods, still sniffling a little)
Peepers: [chked them slowly one by one] U got two baby boy skeletors n two baby girl nomad, all fingers n toes accounted for
Hater: (settles down) That's...that's good to hear. :)
Sylvia: :)
Peepers: :) Well, I guess congrats is in order, n well... also, sorry for ur loss. U wanna clean n wash the pups while I handle Wander n the... other two?
Hater: (nods again) Mhm. I just...need a moment, I guess.
Peepers: Alright, we'll take care of Wander then. Syl, maybe u could clean Wander up while I take care of these two pups
Sylvia: (nod) Right.
Peepers: [took the dead pups out of Wander's arms n took a random blanket to wrap them up, then let Sylvia carry the nomad to the bathroom to be cleaned]
Hater: :(... (hugs himself again before attending to his newborns)
New litter: [cooed as they were being manhandled by their father]
Janet: [showed up nxt to Hater] I heard everything. U... U gonna be OK?
Hater: It...it'll be hard to get over, but...yeah, I guess...
Janet: Is Wandy gonna be OK tho?
Hater: :( He...might have a harder time getting over this...
Janet: [a short silence later] Just hang in there, OK? [patted his bk] I'll go help out the pipsqueak with the unborn pups
Hater:...Alright.
Janet: [slinked away, then sees Sylvia just got out of the bathroom with the sleeping Wander in her arms] Hey, Sylvia. How's he doing? Is he all cleaned up?
Sylvia: Got him all cleaned. ...You've heard what happened?
Janet: Yeah. I'm a planet, anything tht goes on me, I hear it, whether I like it or not. It breaks my core to hear Wander crying like tht wen... wen the pups...
Sylvia: :( Yeah...
Janet: [concentrated a little, turning the bed into a slightly bigger one with more comfortable pillows n blanket n stuff, then with her morphing abilities, transformed a few huge cotton leaves into a nice warm robe for Wander] He needs all the comfort he can get now [passes the robe to Sylvia]
Sylvia: (takes it) He does... (puts robe onto Wander)
Janet: [uses her vines to move the blanket for Sylvia to tuck Wander in] So, pipsqueak, any idea wat ur gonna do with those pups?
Peepers: Umm... I was thinking of bringing it to the ship n ask someone to make a casket for them
Janet: I'll make the casket. It'll be right outside. U just put them in there n make sure to store them properly until Hater n Wandy r ready to bury them
Peepers: OK [brings the unborn pups outside n waited for Janet to finish making it with her morphing powers]
Sylvia: (tucks Wander into bed) ...:( I'm so sorry, buddy...
Wander: [sniffled a little in his sleep, bt otherwise continued snoring silently]
Janet: [pop out her rose form n kissed Wander's head] Stay strong, Wandy-poo...
Sylvia: (pets his head and left him to sleep)
Janet: [sees Hater come out with the freshly cleaned pups] All clean there, Hater?
Hater: y-yeah (shows his eyes are a little red from the crying)
Janet: [noticed it, then with her vines, takes the litter to put them beside Wander, then pop out her rose form into full height of Hater, wrapping her leaf-arms ard the overlord in a tight hug]
Hater: (hugs her back) :(
Janet: There, there, its OK [stroke his head] Time will heal all wounds. The rest of ur litter is alive, tht's all tht matters for now
Hater: I know...
Janet: U better rest as well, Hater. U'll need the strength to face tomorrow, especially wen Wander comes out of his state
Hater: ...Okay.
Janet: [help lead Hater to the bed to rest nxt to Wander, while her other vines got busy getting the suction cup to let the new litter hv their first meal]
Hater: (gets in the bed, sniffling till he fell into deep sleep)
Hater: (was feeding Wander) ^^
Wander: [allowed him to feed him, sitting on Hater's lap, then stroke his belly, his face looking a little worried]
Hater: (pets belly also) The babies will be okay. (to himself) I hope...
Wander: [had slowly started talking a couple weeks ago] Baby... Slow... Worry... Scared...
Hater: (hugs the nomad in comfort)
Wander: [nuzzled in his embrace for a while, then abt 10 mins later, his eyes suddenly opened n he started breathing hard]
Hater: W-Wander...? (feels something wet) :O Oh no...
Wander: [whined, crawling off Hater's lap painfully to get to the nest to give birth]
Hater: (kneels next to him) (thinks; you've done this before, you can do this again) Easy does it, Wander...
Wander: [got in the nest, the lower half of his body inside the nest while the top half is out n leaning against Hater, burying his face against his lap as he started pushing]
Hater: (encourages the nomad)
Wander: [breathed hard as he kept pushing along with the contractions, occasionally biting dwn on the robe hard]
Hater: That's it, easy...
Wander: [let out short whines as he could feel the first pup coming out]
Hater: Almost there...
Wander: [gripped onto Hater's lap tight n took a deep breath before he pushed one last time, the pup finally slid out of him in one fell swoop]
Hater: (picks it up) There we go. (helps it out of the sac)
[The pup took its first breath n started squealing, waking up the older litter tht was sleeping their crib]
Wander: [hears both the new pup cry n the old litter crying n whined worriedly]
Hater: (places the newborn pup next to Wander and turns to the litter) It's okay, kids, it's okay.
*knock knock knock*
??: Everything OK in there, sir? [It was Peepers' voice]
Hater: Peepers, a little help??
Peepers: [comes in n sees Hater with Wander, n pretty much guessed the situation] Oh I see. I'll bring the litter to Brad. His girl will keep them distracted [takes the older litter out of the crib]
Hater: (nod) (turns back to Wander to keep helping him out)
Peepers: Hang in there, furball [leaves the room with the older litter]
Wander: [whines wen Peepers took the older litter, a little worried]
Hater: (pets his head) They'll be alright, Peepers will take care of them.
Wander: [whimpered as he felt the next contraction n finally gave in to pushing]
Hater: There you go, Wander...that's it...
Wander: [kept pushing for 10 mins before finally the second one slid out of him]
Hater: (helps it out of the sac like he did the first one)
[Oddly the second one had no reaction at all, just lay still in Hater's hand]
Hater: (blinks)...Come on, little guy...(rubs it to try and get it breathing)
[No matter how much he rubbed, the pup was not reacting, like it was already gone before it left the womb]
Wander: [doesn't hear the pup cry n started whining, trying to lick it to get it going]
Hater: (fears the worst) No...no, no, no...
Wander: [whined as he kept licking, but it still had no response, tears start pouring out of his eyes as he feared the worst]
Hater: ;( No...
Wander: ;( Baby... Baby... No... [winced as another contraction came in, n whined in pain]
Hater: (wipes tears) I-it's okay...you still got it... :(
Wander: [whimpered n continued pushing]
[For the next 45 mins, Wander kept pushing, expelling out the pups one by one]
Wander: [was pushing dwn his 5th n prolly last one, whimpering as his furry face was wet n matted with his sweat n tears]
Hater: You got this, you got this...we're almost done...
Wander: [tries his best to push, but as usual, he was very tired out by the last few pups, shaking his head] Can't... Tired...
Hater: (pets his head) You can do this, Wander... :(
Wander: Can't... Tired...!! ;( [sobbing hard onto Hater's lap]
Hater: (rubs his head and back) Shh...you still got this...for the babies...
Wander: [whimpered before he crawled out of the nest, gripping onto Hater's robes tight n summoned the last strength he had n pushed dwn as hard as he could, then let out a loud cry as the 5th pup slid out together with a 6th n final pup]
Hater: :) (helps it out of the sac)
[The 5th pup squealed out its first breath of air, but like the 2nd pup, the 6th pup had no reaction]
Hater: ...No...(rubs it) no, not again, no... ;(
Wander: [sees the 6th pup not breathing n whined, trying to lick it awake in vain] ;( Baby... No, baby...
Hater: Not this again... ;(
Wander: [the reality of his 2nd n 6th pup were dead hit him, n he let out an agonized howl, crying out loud]
Hater: (puts face in his hand) ;(
Wander: Baby...!!! No, baby...!!! BABY~~!!! [hugged the dead pups tight in his arms, wailing in agony, his heart breaking]
Hater: (hugging himself, silently sobbing)
Peepers: [came in to chk on them, wondering wat was the commotion abt n gasped wen he saw it] Oh gob... [covered his mouth in shock]
Hater: (looks up) C...C Peeps... ;(
Peepers: [comes close tentatively] Oh gob, I'm... I'm so sorry...
Wander: [snarled at Peepers thru his tears, not wanting him to come closer to either of his pups, dead or alive]
Hater: Two of them...they didn't...;(
Peepers: Oh no... I'm so sorry, sir... [felt reli bad for them]
Wander: [sobbed n sobbed until he passed out frm fatigue, his arms still hugging the dead pups possessively]
Hater: (pets Wander's head gently)...;(
Sylvia: (peeks in) Hey, guys? Did I... miss...something...? (sees the unborn pups in Wander's hands)...:( Oh no...
Peepers: Oh, poor Wander... [patted Hater's bk] I'm so sorry for ur loss, sir
Hater: ;( Was...was it my fault that...?
Peepers: No, no, dont blame urself, these things happen sometimes in a litter birth. Its not ur fault, its not something u can control. Dont blame urself, sir
Hater: (sniffles)... :(
Peepers: Hey, look on the bright side. U still hv them [gestured to the 4 pups tht were alive n well, shivering n wriggling in the blanket Hater had wrapped them up during the birth]
Hater: True...
Sylvia: Have you checked their genders yet?
Hater: N-no...
Peepers: Want me to do the honours?
Hater: (nods, still sniffling a little)
Peepers: [chked them slowly one by one] U got two baby boy skeletors n two baby girl nomad, all fingers n toes accounted for
Hater: (settles down) That's...that's good to hear. :)
Sylvia: :)
Peepers: :) Well, I guess congrats is in order, n well... also, sorry for ur loss. U wanna clean n wash the pups while I handle Wander n the... other two?
Hater: (nods again) Mhm. I just...need a moment, I guess.
Peepers: Alright, we'll take care of Wander then. Syl, maybe u could clean Wander up while I take care of these two pups
Sylvia: (nod) Right.
Peepers: [took the dead pups out of Wander's arms n took a random blanket to wrap them up, then let Sylvia carry the nomad to the bathroom to be cleaned]
Hater: :(... (hugs himself again before attending to his newborns)
New litter: [cooed as they were being manhandled by their father]
Janet: [showed up nxt to Hater] I heard everything. U... U gonna be OK?
Hater: It...it'll be hard to get over, but...yeah, I guess...
Janet: Is Wandy gonna be OK tho?
Hater: :( He...might have a harder time getting over this...
Janet: [a short silence later] Just hang in there, OK? [patted his bk] I'll go help out the pipsqueak with the unborn pups
Hater:...Alright.
Janet: [slinked away, then sees Sylvia just got out of the bathroom with the sleeping Wander in her arms] Hey, Sylvia. How's he doing? Is he all cleaned up?
Sylvia: Got him all cleaned. ...You've heard what happened?
Janet: Yeah. I'm a planet, anything tht goes on me, I hear it, whether I like it or not. It breaks my core to hear Wander crying like tht wen... wen the pups...
Sylvia: :( Yeah...
Janet: [concentrated a little, turning the bed into a slightly bigger one with more comfortable pillows n blanket n stuff, then with her morphing abilities, transformed a few huge cotton leaves into a nice warm robe for Wander] He needs all the comfort he can get now [passes the robe to Sylvia]
Sylvia: (takes it) He does... (puts robe onto Wander)

Tears of The Rose-Chp96
[As time flies by, the gang stayed on Janet for the duration of Wander's pregnancy. During tht time, Peepers n Sylvia made their plans for the wedding. They've decided on almost everything except the venue]
Peepers: [sighed as he drummed his fingers on the table, running out of options for a plc]
Sylvia: (sitting nearby) Still nothing?
Peepers: Yeah. I'm beginning to understand how Lord Hater n Wander felt wen they were stuck on the wedding venue
Sylvia: Yup. (thinking)
[Suddenly Peepers' laptop rang, signalling an incoming video call]
Sylvia: ? Someone contacting you?
Peepers: Huh, wonder who could tht be... [answered the call, only to see Mrs Dingleberry's face almost plastered to the camera]
Mrs Dingleberry: Is this thing on? Can u guys hear me? Hello~!
Baxter: [hollering in the background] Ma! Stop scaring them with ur creepy face!
Sylvia: :O (comes over to see)
Peepers: Oh hey, Masha, fancy seeing u here. Wat gives?
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh thank goodness it got thru. I swear, after so many centuries being alive I still can't figure out these new fangle techno-babble
Sylvia: :) How's Shelly doing?
Baxter: Sis is doing fine. She was just worried since u guys haven't video called or texted us since u left.
Mrs Dingleberry: [called out behind Baxter] Yoohoo, Shelly~~ We got thru! Get ur hiney ovr here [turns bk to the camera] How're y'all doing?
Shelly: (comes over) :) Hey, mommy. Mr. Peepers.
Sylvia: :) Hey, kiddo.
Peepers: Heya, sweetness. Sorry we didn't keep in touch. We've been busy
Mrs Dingleberry: Busy getting hitched, I hope [meant tht as a joke]
Baxter: Ma~ Stop embarrassing them!
Sylvia: Actually...she's right on that. (nod)
Mrs Dingleberry: :O Ehh? Reli? U two r getting married? U proposed, Peeps?
Peepers: Not as gracefully as most proposals are, but yeah ^^;;
Baxter: Well I'll be doggone! Wen's the big day?
Sylvia: :) We're still deciding on a place to do the wedding.
Shelly: :D Yay!!
Mrs Dingleberry: Reli? Wat's wrong with where u r now?
Peepers: My boss n his wife did it here, we don't wanna be copycats. We'd like it to be special
Baxter: Wat abt either of ur hometowns?
Peepers: My planet was destroyed by an invasion. I don't hv a hometown to go bk to
Sylvia: And I haven't been to mine in a long while since leaving my family.
[The mother n children looked at each other, then smiled deviously]
Baxter: U thinking wat I'm thinking, Ma? (smirk)
Mrs Dingleberry: U bet ur bon-bons I do ;)
Shelly: :) What?
Sylvia: ?
Mrs Dingleberry: Well, u knw we hv plenty of space here, n my husband is a bit space-sick, so it'll be a hassle for us to travel to get to ur wedding, so....
Baxter: How abt u come ovr HERE to get married?
Sylvia: :O Really? You won't mind?
Shelly: :D
Mrs Dingleberry: Of course we don't mind! It'll be nice to meet the rest of ur crew as well! Its been a long time since we had a big celebration here at our ranch
Baxter: Ma, u forgot u had tht Winter-Fall holiday where almost half of ur real kids n their family came ovr?
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh hush, that's not the point!
Peepers: R u sure? We don't wanna impose...
Sylvia: If you really want us to...
Shelly: Can they please, mama? :)
Mrs Dingleberry: Of course they can. I won't take no for an answer~
Peepers: [looked at Sylvia] Wat do u think, Syl?
Sylvia: ...:) Wander would like to meet some new friends and maybe Shelly could be our flower girl.
Shelly: ^^
Mrs Dingleberry: Then its settled then. I'm gonna go tell Mr Dingleberry now~ [runs off to find her husband]
Baxter: |-( Sorry abt tht, wen it comes to parties or the like, she's super excited. Its like she practically lives in the kitchen or something with the food she makes for every celebration
Sylvia: ^^;; Wander will get along with her a lot, I'll bet.
Peepers: No doubt abt tht. So how's life treating ya, sweetness?
Shelly: :) Been getting good grades.
Peepers: That's great. Helping ur mom ard the house as well, I hope
Baxter: She's been a regular saint with Mama. I do the heavy lifting tho (wave)
Sylvia: :) We'll see if we can make it, then.
Baxter: U better do. Once Ma sets her mind on something, there's no backing out
Peepers: We'll let u knw wen we hv a set date then
Sylvia: (nod)
Shelly: :) Hope to see you here, mommy.
Peepers: Same here, sweetness
Baxter: Right, gtg, got some more chores to do, n I bet someone is gonna get dragged to do the groceries for the upcoming wedding feast (smirk) [smirked at Shelly]
Shelly: >< Nuh uh! (wave) Well, bye, mommy. Mr. Peepers.
Sylvia: (wave) Cya, kiddo.
Peepers: (wave) Bye, sweetness [ends the call] Crap, did I just call Shelly "sweetness" the whole.time?
Sylvia: Yeah, you did. (smirk)
Peepers: (doh) Doh! She must think I'm such a cheesy dork
Sylvia: (giggle) It just means you have pointential to be a good dad.
Peepers: U... U think so?
Sylvia: (nod) I know so.
Peepers: [blushed a little] Didn't think I'd cut out to be one [twiddled his thumbs bashfully]
Sylvia: (pulls him close) I'm sure you'll do just fine with our kid. :)
Peepers: Well someone is rather eager there (smirk)
Sylvia: (blushes) Well, sorta.
Peepers: Well patience goes a long, long way. U hv waited this long, don't go breaking the streak just yet
Sylvia: I know, I know.
Peepers: Heheh... [was abt to lean in for a kiss wen suddenly Janet burst out screaming frm Hater n Wander's room]
Janet: AAAGGHHH!! LEMME GO, LEMME GO, LEMME GO~~ DX
Sylvia: O_O??
Peepers: Wat in the blue blazes? [made his way to Hater n Wander's room, tho Hater wasn't ard, prolly at the ship supervising the Watchdogs, n sees Wander partially out of the nest biting dwn hard on one of Janet's vines, while the litter was crying in terror]
Sylvia: (looks in) :O Wander??
Peepers: Oh boy [dials Hater's communicator] Come on, pick up, pick up, pick up
Hater's voice: C Peeps?
Peepers: U better get here, sir. We've got a situation with Wander n Janet [winced as he watched Wander biting dwn harder, not sure whether to go near them n risk getting bit too]
Janet: HELP ME~~~ DX
Hater: o_o That means...?? (hangs up)
Sylvia: Oh boy.
Peepers: [takes a deep breath n slowly comes closer to Wander] Easy does it, Wander, easy... Easy... I'm just gonna help u take ur litter here so u don't--
Wander: [snarled at Peepers, shielding the litter, his hand clawed at him, his eyes red with fury, n his mouth still not letting go of Janet's vine]
Peepers: Eep! O_O;;
Hater: (has hurried to the room where the gang is) :( Where's Wander?
Sylvia: (points)
Hater: (kneels next to him)
Wander: [growled, glaring at Hater, still biting on Janet tight]
Hater: :( It's okay, it's okay, I'm right here... (takes the litter for the sake of their safety)
Wander: [growled some more, glaring warily at Hater taking the litter]
Janet: A little help here~? TT___TT
Hater: (removes the vine from the nomad's mouth) Easy now...
Sylvia: Should we help them?
Peepers: Best not, Wander is more prone to Hater, let him handle it
Wander: [still biting tight on the vine, not letting go, growling angrily, shaking it like a rag doll]
Janet: Uuuurrrrgggghhh~~~ >m<;;
Hater: Nnn... Peepers, got anything else he can bite on?
Peepers: I don't think that's why he's biting. Janet, wat did u do?
Janet: I... I was just trying to pet the litter. I thought tht after a couple mths of me feeding him, he'd get used to me or something. He was sound asleep, I didn't think it would hurt to pet n play with the litter a little while he rested... TT___TT Boohoohoohoo~~
Hater: Maybe shouldn't have bothered him when he's like this.
Janet: I knw, I knw, I feel terrible, just pls get his teeth off me~~
Hater: (still trying to get the vine out) Wander, c'mon, let go. ><
Wander: [not letting go at all]
Peepers: Maybe try talking to him, convince him Janet is no longer a threat
Hater: :( Wander, it's okay, she isn't a threat, she's not a threat...
Peepers: [tried to come a bit closer] Easy does it, furball. She's not going to hurt ur litter, she won't bother u guys again, OK?
Wander: [glares warily btwn Hater n Peepers]
Hater: Look at me, Wander...she won't hurt our babies...she won't...
Wander: [hesitated a little, but finally he slowly let go of Janet's vine n slowly slinked bk into the nest, hiding under it with his eyes showing as usual, letting out tiny growls]
Hater: (petting his head) it's okay now, Wander... it's okay...
Wander: [still growling, but has calmed dwn a little]
Peepers: U OK there, Janet?
Janet: Ugh, kinda sore, but I'll be fine. He's got one killer bite there, that's for sure >_<;;
Sylvia: So, what have you learned?~
Janet: Nvr approach Wander at this state...? :(
Sylvia: That and also don't mess with a mother's babies.
Peepers: Wander is bonded with Hater, n his and the litter's scent is all he knows at this state, so u better remember tht
Janet: Fine, I will~ I'll just go tend to my sprouts... [slinked away, moping]
Hater: (watches Janet go) She didn't mean any harm... (looks back at his kids)
Litter: [has calmed dwn some, clinging onto Hater's chest by his robes like tiny koala bears]
Wander: [still hiding in the nest, keeping an eye on the litter clinging to Hater]
Peepers: Still, that's one helluva maternal instinct there. Makes me glad tht Star Nomads hv already evolved to be civilized n only happens wen they're pregnant. I can't imagine that furball like this 24/7
Sylvia: That'd be hard to deal with if he was like this everyday.
Peepers: Right, now its all calmed dwn, we better leave u to it then. Don't wanna bother Wander any longer
Hater: I think I'll stay just a little bit longer, make sure nothing else goes wrong.
Peepers: That's cool. Oh btw we've finally decided on a wedding venue, sir
Hater: Where?
Peepers: [looked at Sylvia, gesturing her to tell him]
Sylvia: :) The place where me and Pipsqueak went to reunite with my little girl.
Hater: :) Yeah?
Peepers: Yeah, her foster mom offered, n it's brings a special meaning for both of us
Hater: :) Sounds good. But you do plan to wait till Wander is...?
Sylvia: (nod) Yes.
Peepers: Yup, definitely. Wouldn't want him to miss it, after all he'd prolly be thrilled to meet Mrs Dingleberry. They've got quite a lot in common wen it comes to attitude
Hater: I see.
Peepers: Besides they would love to meet u guys too, Mrs Dingleberry especially. She's a vry ppl-person, isnt she, Syl?
Sylvia: Very much.
Hater: (pets Wander's head gently)
Peepers: Right, we'll leave u two lovebirds alone then [takes Sylvia's hand] Come, Syl, we need to continue with our wedding plans
Sylvia: (nod) (leaves with Peepers)
Hater: (smiles, watching Wander and petting his head still)
Wander: [slowly turned frm growling to purring, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the familiar petting]
Hater: (hums a little)
Wander: [soon drifted slowly bk to sleep]
Hater: :) (pets his head one last time before leaving him and the pups be for the time being)
Peepers: [sighed as he drummed his fingers on the table, running out of options for a plc]
Sylvia: (sitting nearby) Still nothing?
Peepers: Yeah. I'm beginning to understand how Lord Hater n Wander felt wen they were stuck on the wedding venue

Peepers: Heheh... [was abt to lean in for a kiss wen suddenly Janet burst out screaming frm Hater n Wander's room]
Janet: AAAGGHHH!! LEMME GO, LEMME GO, LEMME GO~~ DX
Sylvia: O_O??
Peepers: Wat in the blue blazes? [made his way to Hater n Wander's room, tho Hater wasn't ard, prolly at the ship supervising the Watchdogs, n sees Wander partially out of the nest biting dwn hard on one of Janet's vines, while the litter was crying in terror]
Sylvia: (looks in) :O Wander??
Peepers: Oh boy [dials Hater's communicator] Come on, pick up, pick up, pick up
Hater's voice: C Peeps?
Peepers: U better get here, sir. We've got a situation with Wander n Janet [winced as he watched Wander biting dwn harder, not sure whether to go near them n risk getting bit too]
Janet: HELP ME~~~ DX
Hater: o_o That means...?? (hangs up)
Sylvia: Oh boy.
Peepers: [takes a deep breath n slowly comes closer to Wander] Easy does it, Wander, easy... Easy... I'm just gonna help u take ur litter here so u don't--
Wander: [snarled at Peepers, shielding the litter, his hand clawed at him, his eyes red with fury, n his mouth still not letting go of Janet's vine]
Peepers: Eep! O_O;;
Hater: (has hurried to the room where the gang is) :( Where's Wander?
Sylvia: (points)
Hater: (kneels next to him)
Wander: [growled, glaring at Hater, still biting on Janet tight]
Hater: :( It's okay, it's okay, I'm right here... (takes the litter for the sake of their safety)
Wander: [growled some more, glaring warily at Hater taking the litter]
Janet: A little help here~? TT___TT
Hater: (removes the vine from the nomad's mouth) Easy now...
Sylvia: Should we help them?
Peepers: Best not, Wander is more prone to Hater, let him handle it
Wander: [still biting tight on the vine, not letting go, growling angrily, shaking it like a rag doll]
Janet: Uuuurrrrgggghhh~~~ >m<;;
Hater: Nnn... Peepers, got anything else he can bite on?
Peepers: I don't think that's why he's biting. Janet, wat did u do?
Janet: I... I was just trying to pet the litter. I thought tht after a couple mths of me feeding him, he'd get used to me or something. He was sound asleep, I didn't think it would hurt to pet n play with the litter a little while he rested... TT___TT Boohoohoohoo~~
Hater: Maybe shouldn't have bothered him when he's like this.
Janet: I knw, I knw, I feel terrible, just pls get his teeth off me~~
Hater: (still trying to get the vine out) Wander, c'mon, let go. ><
Wander: [not letting go at all]
Peepers: Maybe try talking to him, convince him Janet is no longer a threat
Hater: :( Wander, it's okay, she isn't a threat, she's not a threat...
Peepers: [tried to come a bit closer] Easy does it, furball. She's not going to hurt ur litter, she won't bother u guys again, OK?
Wander: [glares warily btwn Hater n Peepers]
Hater: Look at me, Wander...she won't hurt our babies...she won't...
Wander: [hesitated a little, but finally he slowly let go of Janet's vine n slowly slinked bk into the nest, hiding under it with his eyes showing as usual, letting out tiny growls]
Hater: (petting his head) it's okay now, Wander... it's okay...
Wander: [still growling, but has calmed dwn a little]
Peepers: U OK there, Janet?
Janet: Ugh, kinda sore, but I'll be fine. He's got one killer bite there, that's for sure >_<;;
Sylvia: So, what have you learned?~
Janet: Nvr approach Wander at this state...? :(
Sylvia: That and also don't mess with a mother's babies.
Peepers: Wander is bonded with Hater, n his and the litter's scent is all he knows at this state, so u better remember tht
Janet: Fine, I will~ I'll just go tend to my sprouts... [slinked away, moping]
Hater: (watches Janet go) She didn't mean any harm... (looks back at his kids)
Litter: [has calmed dwn some, clinging onto Hater's chest by his robes like tiny koala bears]
Wander: [still hiding in the nest, keeping an eye on the litter clinging to Hater]
Peepers: Still, that's one helluva maternal instinct there. Makes me glad tht Star Nomads hv already evolved to be civilized n only happens wen they're pregnant. I can't imagine that furball like this 24/7
Sylvia: That'd be hard to deal with if he was like this everyday.
Peepers: Right, now its all calmed dwn, we better leave u to it then. Don't wanna bother Wander any longer
Hater: I think I'll stay just a little bit longer, make sure nothing else goes wrong.
Peepers: That's cool. Oh btw we've finally decided on a wedding venue, sir
Hater: Where?
Peepers: [looked at Sylvia, gesturing her to tell him]
Sylvia: :) The place where me and Pipsqueak went to reunite with my little girl.
Hater: :) Yeah?
Peepers: Yeah, her foster mom offered, n it's brings a special meaning for both of us
Hater: :) Sounds good. But you do plan to wait till Wander is...?
Sylvia: (nod) Yes.
Peepers: Yup, definitely. Wouldn't want him to miss it, after all he'd prolly be thrilled to meet Mrs Dingleberry. They've got quite a lot in common wen it comes to attitude
Hater: I see.
Peepers: Besides they would love to meet u guys too, Mrs Dingleberry especially. She's a vry ppl-person, isnt she, Syl?
Sylvia: Very much.
Hater: (pets Wander's head gently)
Peepers: Right, we'll leave u two lovebirds alone then [takes Sylvia's hand] Come, Syl, we need to continue with our wedding plans
Sylvia: (nod) (leaves with Peepers)
Hater: (smiles, watching Wander and petting his head still)
Wander: [slowly turned frm growling to purring, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the familiar petting]
Hater: (hums a little)
Wander: [soon drifted slowly bk to sleep]
Hater: :) (pets his head one last time before leaving him and the pups be for the time being)
Tears of The Rose-Chp95
Peepers: [made his way to the kitchen, seeing Sylvia already there making a sandwich] Hey, Syl
Sylvia: (looks up) Hey, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: [raided the fridge to see if there's anything to eat] Watcha making?
Sylvia: Just a little snack, that's all.
Peepers: [couldn't help looking at Sylvia's sandwich, then grinned at her] Wanna make one for me? :P
Sylvia: (smirk) Really?
Peepers: Yeah, why not? There doesn't seem to be anything I like in the fridge, n urs look pretty good
Sylvia: I suppose. (gets to doing so) You like mustard or mayo? :P
Peepers: Mustard of course, u knw I like it spicy
Sylvia: Gotcha. ;)
Peepers: [sat at the counter, watching her work]
Sylvia: (finishes up the sandwich)
Peepers: U want me to get us something to drink?
Sylvia: Grape soda if you have any. :)
Peepers: [looked into the fridge] Nope, sorry, I only see strawberry fizz n orange tonic, if tht's wat u want instead
Sylvia: Orange tonic, then. (nod)
Peepers: [nodded n took the strawberry fizz for himself]
Sylvia: (takes the orange tonic)
Peepers: [sees his sandwich done] Wat did u make me there, zbornak?
Sylvia: you got some turkey slices, lettuce and bit of spicy mustard.
Peepers: Mmm, nice, bt ur missing something I like as well
Sylvia: ? What?
Peepers: [pointed at the basket of vegetables on the counter near the sink, specifically onions n tomatoes]
Sylvia: Oh, right. ^^;;
Peepers: Its alright, I can do it [gets the onions n tomatoes n sliced them himself] U want some in ur sandwich?
Sylvia: Just a little bit of onion, if you don't mind.
Peepers: [nodded n gave her a few slices, then put the rest into his sandwich with tomatoes] Ahh, now tht's perfect [takes a big bite] Mmm~~
Sylvia: (eats her sandwich too) ^^
Peepers: [ate n drank happily, then noticed tht he was actually doing it in comfortable silence in Sylvia's company, then blushes, looking dwn]
Sylvia: (sips her drink and glances in Peepers' direction)... Pipsqueak?
Peepers: [a short pause before he looked up] ....This feels nice, doesnt it?
Sylvia: Yeah...it does... (flushes a little)
Peepers: [another short pause later before he looked up again at her] ...Wanna get hitched?
Sylvia: (almost chokes but swallows) What?
Peepers: [scratched his chin] Lets be honest, we're not getting any younger, n we've technically already had feelings for each other, except I let denial n my infatuation for Lord Hater get in the way. I've already met ur kid n see her as my own. There's no reason for us to beat abt the bush... [cleared his throat n took a deep breath] Wat I'm trying to say is... [takes Sylvia's tail which was already secretly wrapped ard his waist wen they were eating n pressed it against his cheek] ...Will u marry me?
Sylvia: :O ... (tears start welling up before she pulled the watchdog into an embrace) ;(
Peepers: :) I take tht as a yes [leans up to kiss Sylvia]
Sylvia: (kisses him back)
Peepers: [chuckles] I hope I didn't shock u too much. I'd hate to end up killing u by choking (giggle)
Sylvia: Not really, you were bound to do so sooner or later. ;)
Peepers: Wat? Kill u or marry u? (smirk)
Sylvia: (giggle) Marry, of course.
Peepers: [chuckles] We'll hv to wait till Wander gives birth first tho. Can't hv ur wedding without ur best buddy now, can u?
Sylvia: True that. But I'll bet he'd be happy to hear the news. :)
Peepers: If he were still himself, I bet he's gonna go flying ard the walls with joy :d
Sylvia: (giggle) Sounds like Wander, alright.
Peepers: Let's tell them anyways. Lord Hater would definitely like to knw first
Sylvia: (nod) Let's.
[The duo finished their sandwiches n went to Hater's n Wander's room]
Peepers: [knocked at the door]
Hater: (looks up) Yes?
Peepers: [peeks in] Hey, sir. Is it safe to come in?
Hater: He's sleeping right now, so yeah.
Peepers: Good [comes in with Sylvia] How's he doing so far? Giving any trouble?
Hater: Still feral but doing so far so good.
Peepers: That's good. Hopefully smooth sailing frm here on out till the birth [cleared his throat] So, umm, we...got an announcement to make
Hater: ? What of?
Sylvia: (holding Peepers' hand) :)
Peepers: [squeezed her hand gently] We're getting married
Hater: :O Whoa... You uh, did a better job of proposing then I did, C Peeps? ^^;;
Sylvia: >> Yup. (giggle)
Peepers: Heh, given the circumstances, pretty much [chuckled] U don't seem too surprised tht we're together in the first plc tho
Hater: I had a hunch, but happy for you Peepers. And Sylvia, too.
Sylvia: :)
Peepers: ^^ Thanks, sir. We're planning to be married after Wander gives birth tho. I knw he wouldn't wanna miss it
Hater: Yeah, it'd be best if we wait a bit till he comes out of his state.
Sylvia: It'll give us plenty of time to plan for the wedding, too. (nod)
Peepers: Definitely. Oh btw, forgot to congratulate u on ur new upcoming litter, tho u move pretty fast urself
Hater: ^^;; I know, I know, I couldn't help it.
Peepers: I'll say, at the rate u guys were going, I'm surprised u didn't knock him up again BEFORE ur wedding :d
Hater: >///< Not helping, C Peeps!
Sylvia: (giggle)
Peepers: How's he with the older litter? Is he hostile towards them as well?
Hater: Not at all, actually. He remembers their scent as well and still mothers them.
Peepers: That's a relief. Was a little worried he might go all feral on the litter
Hater: But he didn't.
Sylvia: :) Pretty strong parental instinc.
Peepers: I guess its amplified wen he's in feral state, sort of like a primitive instinct
Hater: Yeah, something like that.
Sylvia: (hugs Peepers) ^^
Peepers: [chuckled at the hug] So how many do u think is gonna be in the litter this time?
Hater: Could be 6 again, or maybe 5? I don't know yet.
Peepers: Let's just hope everything will be OK wen the time comes
Hater: Yeah, me too.
Sylvia: (looks up) Hey, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: [raided the fridge to see if there's anything to eat] Watcha making?

Tears of The Rose-Chp94
[the flight took a while, n Wander had several meals in btwn, bt they soon arrived on Planet Janet in a couple of days]
Sylvia: Here we are.
Peepers: Yup, time to land this baby. U better go let Hater knw tht we're here, so he can be prepared to disembark n find a nice spot for Wander to curl up in once we're on land
Sylvia: (nod) (goes to see with Hater and Wander)
Wander: [curled underneath the bed as usual, keeping a watchful eye on the litter who were playing on the floor outside, letting out a tiny purr frm time to time]
Hater: (also keeping watch)
Sylvia: (peeks in) Hey we've just arrived on Janet.
Hater: (nod) Okay.
Wander: [growled at the sound of Sylvia's voice]
Sylvia: ^^;; Hey to you too, buddy.
Hater: (pets Wander's head)
Wander: [still glares at Sylvia, as if daring her to come closer to his litter]
Sylvia: Just...letting you know. (leaves)
Hater: It's okay, she's gone now.
Wander: [calms dwn a bit, nuzzling Hater's hand that's petting him]
Hater: :)
[Soon the ship landed, n Janet was eager to greet them]
Janet: Ooh! Ur bk! [searches abt] How was the honeymoon? Where's my BFF Wandy~? I want him to tell me all abt it ^_^ <3
Sylvia: He's uh, not in the best condition right now and I wouldn't want to bother him if I were you, at least, not for a while.
Hater: (carrying Wander)
Janet: [sees him carrying Wander n ignored Sylvia in favour of going towards him] Aww, wat happened to u, Wandy? Did Hater "work" u too hard? "Enjoyed" a little too much...
Wander: [the moment Janet came close with hher vines, he suddenly lashed out n snarled at her, smacking the vine away with his hand as if trying to claw her, his red eyes glared dangerously at her]
Janet: Eepp!! [taken by surprise] Wat's gotten into u, Wandy?? Wat did u do to him, bonehead? >:C
Hater: ^^;; He's in feral state, so he'll be like this until the birth of our next litter.
Janet: Birth of ur nxt... :o U mean he's knocked up? Again?
Hater: Yes...?
Janet: Well, u sure make quick work of ur honeymoon now, didn't u, bonehead? (smirk) Someone's being a big stud
Hater: (flushes furiously) >///> A-Anyways, think you can make our room so that he has a dark area to nest in for a bit?
Janet: On it lickety-split [a slight rumbling was heard] There, u can go in the house now. That should do it
Hater: (nod) Thanks. (carries Wander inside)
[the room was slightly modified with some kind of walk-in closet with plenty of cotton-textured leaves n a bit of hay, n some pillows here n there for a perfectly comfy nest n enough space for Hater and/or the litter to hang out with if necessary, n dark enough to make the nomad feel secure]
Hater: :) How is that? (puts down Wander)
Wander: [scoured the area for a while, sniffing abt, then climb onto the nest, crawled ard in circles for a while, n soon purred n burrowed underneath it, only his eyes peeking out, showing tht he's fine with it]
Hater: :) That's good.
Wander: [purred for a bit, then his stomach started growling]
Hater: (looks up) Janet? Need some fruit.
Janet: On it [popped up a vine frm the ceiling n produced a bunch of fruit to let it fall gently onto the nest nxt to Wander]
Wander: [eyed at the fruits warily]
Hater: (holds a fruit to Waner) Go on.
Wander: [his hand slowly peeked out frm the nest n took it frm Hater, then a bit of sniffing, then munching sounds could be heard underneath the bundle he's holed up in]
Hater: ^^ Like that?
Wander: [doesn't reply, but his hand reached out to take the rest of the fruits into his little space]
Janet: Wow, is he reli gonna be like that till he gives birth?
Hater: Yeah. (nod)
Janet: Must've been touch for u the first time, huh? Not knowing wat to do n all
Hater: Well, his hat gave me a book to help out but yeah, kinda tough.
Janet: Interesting. I've nvr known his hat would help anyone except Wander himself
Hater: It's grown used to me.
Janet: I see, well, how long is this phase gonna last though?
Hater: About a few months.
Janet: U definitely got ur work cut out for u. So who's ur new friend there? Tht pretty boy with his little girl
Hater: Brad Starlight. >_> He's only joining us because Wander asked.
Janet: Oh? Wat's his story?
Hater: (explains everything about Brad)
Janet: Wow, on the run frm possible murderous jealous cuckolded husband. That's rough
Hater: Yeah.
Janet: Alright, well, I'll leave u to it then. Get some rest, n u too, Wandy
Wander: [doesnt reply, still munching away]
Hater: (nod)
Janet: [leaves the room]
Wander: [munches on the fruits underneath the covers, tho there were the occasional pits n seeds n cores flung out of the covers]
Hater: (watching Wander finish up the fruit)
[By the time he was done, there were pits, seeds n cores all ovr outside the nest, before the sound of silent snoring was heard]
Hater: Heh. (leaves Wander to sleep for the time being)
[Meanwhile Janet had just finished extending the home to accommodate a new room for Brad n Angel to stay]
Brad: (playing horsey with Angel) ^^
Janet: Alright, cutie, ur room's ready now
Peepers: Got anything u need my help to carry, Starlight?
Brad: Not too much things.
Peepers: Right, where are they? [looked abt]
Brad: (points to a small bag of his)
Peepers: That reli is not much [carries it] Wat u got in there anyways?
Brad: It's mostly things I bought for Angel. Like, I know I'm worrying more about her then me, but it's just...
Peepers: Its understandable, kids come first after all. Right, I'll bring it to ur room then [carry the bag to Brad's room]
Brad: (follows)
[The room was nice n cozy, n quite child-friendly, with all the necessities of a child n also a nice big comfy bed for Brad, including an en-suite bathroom for easy access for Angel should she need cleaning]
Peepers: Looks great here, Janet
Janet: Well I am a mother now, so I need to knw wat a child needs
Brad: :) This looks perfect.
Peepers: [sets dwn Brad's bag] Right, here u go. Make urself at home. I'm gonna go get some grub
Brad: (nod)
Sylvia: Here we are.
Peepers: Yup, time to land this baby. U better go let Hater knw tht we're here, so he can be prepared to disembark n find a nice spot for Wander to curl up in once we're on land

Hater: (explains everything about Brad)
Janet: Wow, on the run frm possible murderous jealous cuckolded husband. That's rough
Hater: Yeah.
Janet: Alright, well, I'll leave u to it then. Get some rest, n u too, Wandy
Wander: [doesnt reply, still munching away]
Hater: (nod)
Janet: [leaves the room]
Wander: [munches on the fruits underneath the covers, tho there were the occasional pits n seeds n cores flung out of the covers]
Hater: (watching Wander finish up the fruit)
[By the time he was done, there were pits, seeds n cores all ovr outside the nest, before the sound of silent snoring was heard]
Hater: Heh. (leaves Wander to sleep for the time being)
[Meanwhile Janet had just finished extending the home to accommodate a new room for Brad n Angel to stay]
Brad: (playing horsey with Angel) ^^
Janet: Alright, cutie, ur room's ready now
Peepers: Got anything u need my help to carry, Starlight?
Brad: Not too much things.
Peepers: Right, where are they? [looked abt]
Brad: (points to a small bag of his)
Peepers: That reli is not much [carries it] Wat u got in there anyways?
Brad: It's mostly things I bought for Angel. Like, I know I'm worrying more about her then me, but it's just...
Peepers: Its understandable, kids come first after all. Right, I'll bring it to ur room then [carry the bag to Brad's room]
Brad: (follows)
[The room was nice n cozy, n quite child-friendly, with all the necessities of a child n also a nice big comfy bed for Brad, including an en-suite bathroom for easy access for Angel should she need cleaning]
Peepers: Looks great here, Janet
Janet: Well I am a mother now, so I need to knw wat a child needs
Brad: :) This looks perfect.
Peepers: [sets dwn Brad's bag] Right, here u go. Make urself at home. I'm gonna go get some grub
Brad: (nod)

[They all soon chk out the hotel n went to the mother ship which was waiting outside at the port, where Sylvia is supervising the Watchdogs as they brought in the things]
Sylvia: (notices the others) :) Ready to go? (sees Brad) :| You again?
Brad: Um...hi? ^^;;
Peepers: Play nice, Syl. He's our guest for now, courtesy of ur furball
Sylvia: (thinks)... Well, okay then. But only cause I trust Wander's judgement.
Brad: Indeed. (gets on the ship, cradling Angel)
[Everyone got on the mother ship n soon, after some deliberation, flew off into the galaxy]
Peepers: So sir, would u like to head bk to Janet, or just go forth n conquer straightaway?
Hater: Back to Janet. Someone's gotta take care of Wander and such. (strokes the nomad's fur gently)
Peepers: Alright, but I hope Janet's prepared for this. She may be his BFF but I doubt she's seen this side of the furball
Sylvia: We'll just have to wait and see.
Peepers: Right, setting course bk to Janet then. I guess someone needs to help set up a room for our prince charming
Brad: And my little butterfly too. (coos with Angel) ^^
Hater: (still strokes Wander's fur)
Westley: I'll get to it. If u will follow me, Mr Starlight
Brad: (follows Westley)
Peepers: U best be setting Wander dwn to rest, sir. I'm taking it slow to save fuel, no warp jumps. It's gonna be a while before we get to Janet
Hater: Alright then.
Peepers: [clicked some buttons n started driving the ship]
Hater: (sets Wander down to allow him to rest)
Wander: [shivered a little as he was out in the open n not under the bed like he should be, curled ard the litter who already finished nursing n fallen asleep, the nipples dangling lazily out of their mouths]
Hater: (grabs a spare blanket nearby and covers Wander and the babies with it to keep them warm)
Peepers: I think u better bring him to ur room, sir. I got this covered
Hater: (nod) (brings Wander and the litter to his room)
Wander: |-)
Hater: (carefully places him and the litter underneath his bed) :) Sleep well, Wander.
Wander: [curled ard in the covers n blanket he was in n continued sleeping]
Hater: :) (leaves him for the time being)
Sylvia: (notices the others) :) Ready to go? (sees Brad) :| You again?
Brad: Um...hi? ^^;;
Peepers: Play nice, Syl. He's our guest for now, courtesy of ur furball

[the night went by peacefully, tho the nxt morning, Wander was not on his side of the bed]
Hater: (yawn) ... :O Wander? (looks around)
[Wander was nowhere to be seen, tho there was a small trail of cloth n his side of the blanket snuck under the bed]
Hater: (blinks) Wait... (gets off the bed and kneels to look underneath)
Wander: [was asleep, a familiar sight wrapped up in the hotel towels, sheets n his side of the blanket underneath the bed, all curled up] |-)
Hater: ...(whispers) Wander? (reaches to him)
Wander: [eyes shot open at the presence of his hand reaching to him n let out a warning low growl, his eyes a familiar feral red]
Hater: (reaches carefully to pet his head)
Wander: [flinched at the touch, but seemed to recognize his scent somehow frm.the first time, n let him pet him, tho still growling]
Hater: it's okay, it's okay... (begins to bring the nomad closer to him)
Wander: [a bit wary, snarled at him a bit, but other than that, hid himself under the covers]
Hater: ...(pets his head) Need something to feed on?
Wander: [doesn't reply, just maintained the low growl, hiding under the covers, only his red eyes peeking out]
Hater: I'll be right back. (gets up and heads for the kitchen)
*bzzzz bzzzz*
[Hater's communicator rang]
Hater: :o (picks up) Hater speaking.
Peepers: Hey, sir, sorry if I'm calling too early in the morning. Just wondering if ur coming bk anytime soon frm ur honeymoon. The other Watchdogs r getting a little bored n there's a list of planets to conquer...
Hater: Well...seems I might have to, Wander's gone into...feral state again.
Peepers: Ehh? Again? Don't tell me knocked him up again there, sir!
Hater: It just happened, okay??
Peepers: Well, I did say to take ur time to enjoy ur honeymoon, but wow, u sure "enjoyed" it, huh?
Hater: >///< C Peeps... Look, I gtg, get Wander a little something and then get ready to leave ASAP.
Peepers: Say no more, sir. U won't be able to drive the ship bk to Janet n look after him at the same time, especially with the litter. I'll come get u. U stay put, OK? I got ur coordinates anyways
Hater: Thanks, Peepers. Hater out.
*knock knock knock*
Hater: (looks up) Yes?
Westley: Umm, sir? Is Lord Wander awake, sir? The pups need their feeding n we're all out ^^;;
Hater: ^^;; About that... he's gone into that feral state, so...
Westley: Ehh?? But... But the pups... [gesturing at the bawling pups, then noticed one missing] Crimson? Where's Crimson?
[Crimson was crawling ard looking for his mom for feeding n had got past Westley thru the open door, found his scent n crawled underneath the bed to find Wander]
Hater: (notices) :O Whoa, whoa, hey! (is concerned what might happen)
[There were sounds of growling n whining for a moment, n then silence]
Hater: (grows worried and kneels to check if everything's alright)
[Thankfully Crimson was alright; turns out being in feral state hadn't eliminated Wander's maternal instincts as he curled ard his pup, letting the baby skeletor pup feed frm him]
Hater: (sighs in relief)...Westley, go bring the rest of the litter, will you?
Westley: Yes, sir [went in to get the litter with one of his colleagues n passed them to Hater]
Hater: (passes the pups slowly one by one to Wander)
Wander: [lets all the pups come to him, but the pups whine wen not all of them can get to his only two nipples]
Hat: [gives Hater a "Aren't u forgetting something" frown]
Hater: :o Oh, right. (digs into hat for the suction cups)
Hat: [produced it for him]
Hater: (nod) (reaches to Wander) This'll only take a second...
Wander: [hissed at him in warning, as if his feral state is trying to keep Hater frm hurting the pups]
Hater: :( I'm won't hurt them, I just need to... (holds Wander carefully to get the suction cups on)
Wander: [flinched a bit wen Hater touched him, n growled wen the suction cups r attached to him, but calmed dwn wen the pups caught the familiar scent of the nipples frm the suction cup n soon clambered ard to find one to suckle on]
Hater: :) There we go.
Wander: [purred in a low growl as he settled dwn n let the litter nurse]
Hater: (watches) :)
Westley: I'll help u get packed to leave, sir [walked past Brad who is carrying Angel n coming into Hater's room] Good morning, Mr Starlight
Brad: Morning. (sees Hater) Did I miss something?
Hater: (gestures to Wander) That's his feral state.
Brad: (kneels to see) :O Oh my...
Wander: [catches an unfamiliar scent frm Brad n growled warningly at him, curling ard the litter tighter in a protective embrace]
Hater: (pushes Brad) ^^;; Might wanna back up a little.
Brad: ^^;; Yup.
Wander: [glared at Brad, growling, hissing a bit wen Angel wanted to reach dwn to play with the litter]
Brad: (holds her back also) ^^;; No, Angel, sweetie, not right now.
*breeng breeng*
[The hotel phone in Hater's room rang]
Hater: (gets up to answer)
Receptionist: Hello, this is the reception desk, a man named Peepers is here to see u. Would u like me to send him up?
Hater: Uh, yes, that'd be great. (nod)
Receptionist: Very well then, he'll be with u shortly [hangs up]
Hater: (also hangs up)
[5 mins later, Peepers was at the door, along with some of his Watchdogs]
*knock knock knock*
Hater: (answers) Hey, C Peeps.
Peepers: Hey, sir. Had to do a few warp jumps to get here quickly, but here I am [orders the Watchdogs to help Westley with the packing, then looked ard] So where's the furball hiding this time?
Hater: Under the bed.
Peepers: :^) Why am I not surprised? [sees Brad] Hold up there, wat's he doing here? N... Is that a baby in ur arms, Starlight?
Brad: It's...it's a long story.
Hater: Wander insisted he'd stay with us for a while.
Peepers: I see. Trust Wander to be his usual bleeding heart self. I hope u guys at least made the most of ur honeymoon
Hater: (nod) Yeah, it was fun.
Peepers: Right, is everything all packed?
Watchdogs: Yes, Commander Peepers, sir!
Peepers: Right. Bring it to the ship, n don't forget Lord Hater's mini ship as well
Watchdogs: [saluted n left with the bags]
Hater: (goes over to check on Wander and the litter)
Wander: [has fallen bk to sleep with the litter still nursing frm him]
Peepers: [squat dwn nxt to him to see Wander] Didn't think I'd see this familiar sight again so soon. U sure work fast on expanding the brood there, sir
Hater: ^^;; Y-yeah, kinda. (carefully gathers Wander and the litter in his arms) Can you grab his hat for me, Peepers?
Peepers: Sure [takes the hat] We ready to go then?
Hater: (nod) Yup.
Hater: (yawn) ... :O Wander? (looks around)

[They were soon bk at the hotel]
Wander: |-) Mmm... Gooseberry pie... Num num... Zzzz...
Hater: Heh. (nudges at him gently) Wander?
Wander: Nnhh...? [stirred a little but doesn't open his eyes, still pretty sleepy]
Hater: (giggle) (carrys him back to their room)
Wander: [curled into the covers once they were in the room n Hater settled him dwn on the bed] |-)
Hater: (sits on the bed, simply watching the nomad) :)
Wander: [continued sleeping, tho at one point, he slowly started sucking his thumb, a habit he hasn't done in a while]
Hater: Heh. ^^
*knock knock*
Hater: (looks up) Yeah?
Brad: [comes in thru the connecting door btwn Westley's room n theirs] Hey, ur bk. How'd the boat cruise go?
Hater: Saw a lot of things, was fun.
Brad: Sounds like a lot of fun too [sees Wander asleep] Oh sorry, I didn't knw he's asleep. Am I bothering u guys?
Hater: Not really, he fell asleep on the cruise anyhow. How's Angel getting along with the other kids?
Brad: Like she's known them forever, but I hv to remind her tht she's bigger than them n not to play too rough. She's also all tuckered out in the cot, sleeping with the pups. Some litter u got there, huh?
Hater: Yeah, quite the pack we've got. (nod)
Brad: Didn't think u would be with Wander. Last I saw u, u couldn't stand the furball
Hater: Well, about that...I was just...in denial of some feelings...
Brad: In denial, like how?
Hater: Well... (tells a bit of his backstory)
Brad: Woah... So u just went for it without thinking, huh?
Hater: :( Yeah...
Brad: Wow, n I thought me jumping into the chance of doing it with Demurra was rash
Hater: (hugs himself) He did forgive me though...
Brad: I wouldnt be surprised, seeing how nice he is to evryone
Hater: Yeah... but what about Demurra? Did she...?
Brad: [blinked] Did she wat?
Hater: Forgive you about what happened?
Brad: [smiled sadly] There was nothing to forgive, reli. We were young, I was naive n stupid... We've matured since then, n she was the one who chose to find me after all that time... She's also sorry she had led me on wen we were young, n sorry tht she dragged me into this affair now...
Hater: I see... And you're worried what might've happened to her?
Brad: Knowing Drakor, I hate to admit it, but he prolly forgive Demurra. Contrary to his dragon looks, he's actually a big softie, but who knows, if Demurra had to hide this affair, I might be wrong, this might push the big softie to the edge
Hater: Hopefully she's okay then.
Brad: [nodded] Yeah, here's to hoping
Hater: (nod) (glances back at Wander)
Brad: U seem worried. Something happened at the boat cruise with u n Wander?
Hater: No, it's just... I've a feeling about something but maybe I'm just over thinking it.
Brad: Oh? Wat feeling? Is it serious?
Hater: Like, the reason he got desserts first might be because...he might be... (swallows a little)
Brad: Be wat? Pregnant? [snorts, meant tht as a joke]
Hater: :| I was serious on that. But also...if that's true, then he'd go into...
Brad: Go into wat? [was a little confused, since he doesnt knw abt Star Nomad stuff]
Hater: Feral...state... he'd be like a wild animal... (explains the first time it happened)
Brad: :O Oh boy, tht's... intense ^^;;
Hater: Yeah, but he slowly turned back to himself after the whole birth and such.
Brad: U think he reli is preggers again right now?
Hater: It's a hunch but, like I said, I might be overthinking it.
Brad: Well, let's just hope for the best then. Alright, I gotta go to bed. Been up all night last night coz Angel had a touch of colic [yawned] Cya tomorrow morning
Hater: Cya, Brad.
Brad: [waved goodnight n went bk to Westley's room thru the connecting door]
Hater: (yawn) (lies next to Wander, petting the back of his head gently)... |-) Zzzz
Wander: |-) Mmm... Gooseberry pie... Num num... Zzzz...

[they soon made it to the boat docks where the couples were in for the boat cruise]
Attendant: Right, those who are in for the couples boat cruise, right this way pls~
Wander: Oooh, tht's us, Hatey!
Hater: Right behind you. :)
Wander: [takes his hand n followed the couple groups towards the attendant standing on the boat they were going to ride in]
Hater: (to Attendant) Room for us?
Attendant: (nod) Yes, sir.
Wander: [happily followed along the attendant to their seats]
Hater: (also follows, still glancing in Wander's direction)
[Everyone took their seats n soon the boat cruise started, where thhr boat floats out into space n lands onto the manmade ring ard Jupiter n slowly cruised abt, entertaining the couples with the peaceful scenery of space]
Wander: [looked out the window, marveling at the nebula that they were passing by]
Hater: Amazing view... (still keeping close eye on Wander)
Wander: Ikr? I can even see Mars frm here~ :d
Hater: (nod) Heh, yeah.
Wander: [leans his head against Hater's shoulder, quietly looking out the window n enjoying the view]
Hater: (wraps an arm around Wander... something still lingered in his mind...)
[The boat cruise lasted for 45mins, n without knowing, Wander had slowly fallen asleep on Hater's lap, tired out frm today's hiking trip]
Hater: :) (scoops Wander in his arms, carrying him)
Attendant: Thank u for taking part in our cruise. Hope u hv a great day [helps the couples off the boat once they got bk to the dock]

Hater: (carries Wander, smiling at him. He looks cute when asleep)
Attendant: Right, those who are in for the couples boat cruise, right this way pls~
Wander: Oooh, tht's us, Hatey!
Hater: Right behind you. :)
Wander: [takes his hand n followed the couple groups towards the attendant standing on the boat they were going to ride in]
Hater: (to Attendant) Room for us?
Attendant: (nod) Yes, sir.
Wander: [happily followed along the attendant to their seats]
Hater: (also follows, still glancing in Wander's direction)
[Everyone took their seats n soon the boat cruise started, where thhr boat floats out into space n lands onto the manmade ring ard Jupiter n slowly cruised abt, entertaining the couples with the peaceful scenery of space]
Wander: [looked out the window, marveling at the nebula that they were passing by]
Hater: Amazing view... (still keeping close eye on Wander)
Wander: Ikr? I can even see Mars frm here~ :d
Hater: (nod) Heh, yeah.
Wander: [leans his head against Hater's shoulder, quietly looking out the window n enjoying the view]

[they soon returned to their hotel at the entrance, then Wander pressed the autopilot button on the hovership so tht it'll return to its owner]
Wander: Ooh, we've got abt an hour or two before the boat cruise. Wanna grab some grub?
Hater: Sure.
Wander: [looked ard at any nearby restaurants] Hmm... Where to eat... Where to eat...
Hater: (also looks around)
Wander: Any ideas which one, Hatey?
Hater: Hmm... (points to a building) Perhaps that?
Buffet Planet
Wander: Buffet Planet? Sounds good. Ur still hungry aftr tht big picnic lunch we had? (giggle)
Hater: ^^;; It happens.
Wander: Lets go then [made his way to the restaurant]
Hater: (follows)
[once they were inside, a capitan greets them]
Capitan: Hello, sirs, table for two?
Hater: Yes. (nod)
Capitan: Any reservations?
Wander: Nope, dont think so
Capitan: No problem. Right this way pls [led them to a seat near the window] R we having the buffet or ala carte meal?
Hater: We'll go with buffet, right, Wander?
Wander: [his mind wandered a bit, bt snapped bk in reality] Huh? Oh yeah, of course
Hater: (holds his hand as they're led to their table)
Capitan: Here ur seat. Enjoy ur meal
Hater: (sits) :) Thanks. (looks at Wander) ...Something wrong?
Wander: Huh? Oh, nothing. I'm just wondering wat will we see during the boat cruise, is all
Hater: If you say so. (glances elsewhere)...What the...?
Wander: [blinked n turned to his direction] Wat is it?
Hater: What's HE doing here? (is gesturing to Brad Starlight sitting at a table further away, and appeared to be carrying something in a bundle)
Wander: [gasp] Bradley! I can't believe he's here! Let's say hi! Yoohoo, Bradley~ (music) [waved excitedly at him]
Brad: (looks up) Huh?
Wander: Bradley~~ [waves some more to catch his attention] Fancy seeing u here, Bradley! :D
Hater: |-(
Brad: Uh, yes. (looks to Hater) What are you doing here with HIM? I thought you hated him?
Hater: It's a long story.
Wander: But the short version is we've settled our differences, n now we're married~~ <3 [shows off both their rings] Isn't tht cool?? :d
Brad: (blinks) Huh. Interesting. (turns his attention to the bundle for a few seconds)
Hater: ?
Wander: [blinked for a bit, cocked his head to one side for a moment to look at the bundle, then gasped in recognition] Oh my gob, Bradley, r u a daddy~?? [eyes sparkling in delight]
Brad: Shh. Well...it just sort of happened somehow... (reveals the baby to be a girl with dark blue eyes and white hair like his)
Wander: Awww, she's so adorable~~~ (hearteyes) So wat's ur baby's name?
Brad: Angel.
Hater: Since when were you and that princess a thing?
Brad: I was just at home, minding my own thing and then thought I spotted Demurra out the window, chased her into my maze and when I got to the centre... (hugs the baby close) This was what I found. And she even left this as well. (holds up a note)
Wander: [takes the note n reads it along with Hater]
Hater: (reads it as well)
Dear Bradley,
I didn't know how else to tell you but what happened between us was somehow found out. I didn't want to risk what would happen if Drakor was to find out I was with your child. And when she was born... I felt the need to leave her with you, since I still trust you. I know you'll try and be a good father to our little Angel.
Princess Demurra
Wander: Aww, that's so sad. I thought she was in love with Drakor, Syl n I attended their wedding n all
Brad: I guess she...needed something a little different and of all people she asked, was me...
Hater: |-( In otherwords felt like cheating on her hubby.
Wander: Hatey~ [pouted at him for saying tht] I'm surprised she managed to hide her pregnancy frm Drakor
Brad: She is one clever girl... (cradles Angel close to him some more)
Wander: I see ur reli attached to ur baby, considering u were just a fling to Princess Demurra
Brad: I haven't heard from her since I received Angel, that's all I know... :( and it worries me.
Wander: So... Wat exactly r u doing here all the way in the third galaxy?
Brad: Wanted to get away for a while, hoping her husband's guards don't come after me.
Wander: [thought for a moment, then turned to Hater, looking at him with goo-goo eyes]
Hater: What? (realizes) :O Wait, you're not thinking of...
Wander: Hatey, he's in trouble, he needs to get away. We travel frm plc to plc, we can help him outrun them. Pls~? For the baby girl's safety?
Hater: (wants to object but sighs) Fine~~ Just as long as you don't cause any trouble while staying on my ship, Brad.
Brad: :D Thank you.
Wander: Awesome, n ur Angel could be perfect playmates with our pups :d
Brad: :) That'd be nice. (looks at Angel) Hear that? You'll finally be getting some playmates.^^
Angel: (giggle)
Wander: We're gonna hv some grub n then go on a boat cruise. We're technically on our honeymoon, u see. U can stay with our Watchdogs if u want. Here's the spare keys to their room. U better give em a headsup, Hatey
Hater: Right. (nod)
Wander: [passes Westley's spare room keys to Brad]
Brad: (takes them)
Hater: (contacts Westley on his communicator)
Wander: Hv u eaten yet?
Brad: Well, not recently.
Wander: Wanna join us at our table n hv some grub? That's wat ur doing here in this restaurant, right?
Brad: Yeah, something like that.
Hater: (has finished talking with Westley)
Wander: So, Hatey, is Westley OK with it?
Hater: Yeah, he's fine with it. (nod)
Wander: Cool! Come, join us at our table
Brad: (sits down with them) ...(turns to a waiter) Excuse me, sir?
Waiter: [comes to him] Yes, sir?
Brad: Is it possible we can have an extra chair for this little lady? (gestures to Angel)
Waiter: But of course [left for a moment, then comes bk with a baby chair] Here ya go, sir
Brad: (nod) Thank you, sir.
Wander: Aren't u just the cutest widdle thing~? [tickles Angel's chin] Koochie koochie coo (kiss)
Angel: (giggle)
Brad: (sets her carefully into her seat)
Wander: I'll go grab my food first. U want me to help u get anything, Brad?
Brad: Well, maybe something I'm able to feed Angel.
Wander: Sure, u stay here n I'll get wat u need
Brad: (nod)
Hater: Should I come too? You might need help carrying some stuff.
Wander: Sure, if u want to. U also need to get ur own grub too, don't u?
Hater: (nod) Yeah.
Wander: Brb then, Bradley [leaves to get the food]
Hater: (follows)
Brad: (gives attention to Angel) ^^
Wander: [got some food for Brad, tho surprisingly got mostly soup n desserts for himself instead of the main courses]
Hater: (notices) Skipping right to dessert already?
Wander: [shrugged] I dunno, just felt like having dessert instead
Hater: Hmm... (shrugs also and picks out his food)
[The duo soon returned with their chosen food]
Wander: Here ya go, Bradley. N some food for urself too [sets the food on Brad's table]
Brad: (nod) Thanks.
Hater: (sits with his food)
[the trio ate n make small talk, occasionally playing with Angel, until it was almost time for the boat cruise]
Wander: Oh, it's almost time. We better get going, Hatey. U knw where to go, right, Bradley?
Brad: I think so, yes. (scoops up Angel)
Hater: Yeah. (glances at Wander)
Wander: K, cya bk at the hotel then, Bradley [waved happily at him] C'mon, lets go before we're late [takes Hater's hand n left quickly]

Tears of The Rose-Chp87
[The couple enjoyed their nature hike along with some other couples who joined the activity, taking in the sights n sounds of nature n the flora n fauna of Jupiter's forests. Soon it was noon n it was time to take a break]
Nature guide: Alright, let's take a break n hv lunch. Hope u hv packed ur own food, but for those who didn't, pls come with me to get some at the nearest snack shack
Wander: Good thing we've got Hatty [takes it off] Got any grub for us, Hatty? [starts digging]
Hater: Yeah, kinda starving. ^^;;
Wander: [dug a bit n pulled out a 4-tiered lunch box] Ooh~ I wonder wat's inside the lunch box here [licked his lips]
Hater: ?
Wander: [sets it dwn, undid the clasps holding the lunch box together, then takes dwn the tiers one by one, revealing food in each tier: top tier is Wander's fav foods, middle tier is Hater's fav foods, third tier is dessert n last tier is eating tools like fork, spoon, knife etc] Oooohh~~ [his eyes sparkled looking at them]
Hater: :) Nice.
Wander: Thanks, Hatty! Let's dig in :p
Hater: (starts eating) ^^

Wander: Hey, West. How're the pups doing so far? Do u need to refill the milk frm me?
Westley: Well, we're almost out on that, so if you won't mind...
Wander: No problem [enters the room, then takes out the milk pump frm his hat n sat at a corner to pump, all while watching the pups still sleeping soundly n snugly together in a pile inside the baby cot provided by the hotel] Aww, still all tuckered out, huh?
Westley: Indeed.
Wander: Wat did u guys do while we were gone yesterday?
Westley: Well, we...(tells some stuff they did)
Wander: [chuckled] Well u guys sure had a lot of fun. No wonder the pups r tuckered out
Westley: Mhm. (nod)
Pups: (start squirming in their sleep)
Wander: Ooh, looks like they're feeling a bit of a chill. Give em another blanket
Westley: (places blanket over pups)
Wander: [finished pumping] There, all done. I'll set them into the mini fridge there, OK?
Westley: (nod) Alright.
Wander: [puts them in] So u guys plan to do anything later on while we're gone?
Westley: Well, not at the time being.

Tears of The Rose-Chp85
[meanwhile, while evrything was happening at Peepers n Sylvia's end, Hater n Wander had chosen their planet to hv their honeymoon, which is on Planet Jupiter in the third galaxy. They brought a couple of Watchdogs along with them led by Westley (bcoz Peepers n Sylvia r not ard n Janet can't exactly babysit the litter with her own sprouts to tend to) so tht they could be on call to babysit the litter while they need their alone time, bt so far, they were reli enjoying their time together as honeymooners]
Hater: (looking out at the view from the balcony)
Wander: [was in bed still asleep, since they had an all-nighter last night as per usual, tho he's slowly stirring] Nnnhh... Hatey...? [his eyes tries to adjust to the light n sees the balcony door open] U out there, Hatey....?
Hater: (turns to him) Hey, Wander. Just thought I'd enjoy the sunrise.
Wander: [smiled as he got up, rubbing his eyes] Mmhh, did Westley call? R the pups OK?
Hater: Westley says the pups are alright.
Wander: [chuckles] Tht's good (yawn) [gets out of bed to join him at the balcony, n just caught the end of the sunrise] Wow, didnt think sunrise could look so nice on this planet
Hater: It sure does. (wraps hand around Wander) Still tired from all our...rough housing?
Wander: (giggle) I'm good. I got a nice rest. Besides, 2 more days before we hv to go bk to the real world. I wanna enjoy it as much as I can instead of just sleeping in
Hater: Heh, yeah, me too. :)
Wander: So wat do u wanna do today?
Hater: Well... What do you feel like doing?
Wander: Hmm... Not reli sure. Wat else haven't we tried yet? [looked at the honeymoon activity brochures they collected while they surveyed the planet on the first day of coming here]
Hater: (looks also)
Wander: [tossed out the ones they've ticked on marking DONE n was dwn to 5 brochures] Here we go
Hater: What's left, then?
Wander: Hmm... [looked at the brochures one by one] There's sky diving for couples, boat cruise along Jupiter's rings, couple's nature hike, couple's art class and finally spa packages for couples. Wat do u think we should do?
Hater: (looks)... perhaps nature hike?
Wander: Hmm... I'm more to the boat cruise, bt I think we can do tht aftr the nature hike
Hater: Sounds good.
Wander: We'll let Westley knw first before we leave [sniffs himself] N I need a shower. U were pretty messy on me (giggle)
Hater: ^^;; Yeah, I could use a good cleaning too. (thinks for a moment, face flushing) Although...
Wander: Although... wat...? [eyes at him suspiciously]
Hater: (face glows green in embarrasment) Uh...bathe together, I dunno...?
Wander: Oh, tht. [snorts] Havent we been doing tht since we got here? Ur still shy abt tht? (giggle)
Hater: >///> I never said that.
Wander: Well, wat r we waiting for then? [held out one hand as his other hand opened the bathroom door]
Hater: (blushes and takes Wander's hand)
[they both entered the bathroom n Wander started running the bath in the tub, which was a built-in jacuzzi bath, then turned on the jacuzzi machine to make the bath bubble before pouring in the soap suds. watching the bath water bubble up]
Wander: [had fun just sitting on the side of the tub watching the water filled up along with the bubbles]
Hater: (watches a few bubbles float around till one of them popped on his nose)
Wander: (giggle) I think tht's enough bubbles for now [turns off the jacuzzi machine n slowly enters the nice warm bubble bath]
Hater: (removes his boxers and also steps in slowly) Mmm, that's nice.
Wander: Ahh~ I love me some nice warm bubble bath :D
Hater: Yeah, me too~ (pops some more bubbles)
Wander: [scooped a few bubbles in his hands n blew it at Hater's direction]
Hater: Hey~ >_<
Wander: (giggle)
Hater: (smirk) ... (splashes the nomad playfully)
Wander: [spluttered a bit] Hey~ [laughed as he splashes him bk]
Hater: >_<~ (laughs also) :D
[The couple kept splashing until they were totally covered in bubbles n more sopping wet than they should]
Wander: :D Silly Hatey
Hater: You started it. :P
Wander: I knw, still [giggled] Neways, we better hurry n get properly washed up before we miss the time slot for the hike
Hater: Right, gotcha.
Wander: [soaked a little bit more before reaching for the loofah to scrub himself] Help me out with my back? [passes Hater the loofah]
Hater: (flushes and takes it) Sure.
Wander: [faced his bk at him]
Hater: (scrubs his back)
Wander: Mmm~ Nice =w=
Hater: :) (continues scrubbing)
Wander: [aftr a few more scrubs, takes the loofah] Ur turn, Hatey
Hater: Um..ok. (turns around for Wander)
Wander: [scrubs his bk, humming a tune]
Hater: (shivers a little when Wander went over a ticklish spot)
Wander: [noticed it, then cheekily ran his finger on tht spot in a tickling motion]
Hater: >< Hey, quit it~ (giggle)
Wander: :D Didn't knw u were ticklish there, that's something new
Hater: ^^;; Heh, yeah.
Wander: Wat happens if I do this? [leans in to blow at the spot]
Hater: >< Don't~ (stiffles a giggle)
Wander: (giggle) How abt this? [leans in to kiss it]
Hater: o///o H-hey!
Wander: :D Ur adorable, Hatey
Hater: Heh, as are you.
Wander: [blushed] Aww, Hatey. Flattery ain't getting u nowhere ;p
Hater: (turns around) (smirk) No, but maybe this will~ (reaches out to tickle Wander's sides)
Wander: Eekk! Stop~!! (rofl)
Hater: hehe, gotcha. (Keeps tickling playfully)
Wander: (rofl) Hatey~ [laughed n laughed until he toppled backwards into the water n into Hater's arms]
Hater: (caught him) :P
Wander: [looked up at him backwards n leans up for a kiss]
Hater: (kisses him)~ (heart)
Wander: Mm~ (heart) [pulls away gently] We should RELI get done before we're late (giggle)
Hater: ^^;; Right, let's get going then.
Hater: (looking out at the view from the balcony)

Mrs Dingleberry: [sees them entering] Oh hey, u guys managed to catch ur breath?
Peepers: Yeah, more or less. So how's Shelly doing?
Mrs Dingleberry: She's OK, nice n clean n had a hearty dinner. She's in bed, out like a light now, the poor dear
Sylvia: Can't blame the kid for what she's just gone through...
Mrs Dingleberry: True tht. Thank u so much for saving her n getting her bk safely
Sylvia: (nod) A mother's gotta do what a mother's gotta do.
Mrs Dingleberry: Totally. Us moms need to stick together, right?
Peepers: I'm a little hungry. Got another light to eat?
Mrs Dingleberry: I did make some omni-corn n beef stew if u like
Sylvia: Nothing for me, thanks.
Peepers: Sure, just a small helping for me
Sylvia: I'll meet you upstairs then, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: Sure, bt if ur reli tired then don't wait up [went to the kitchen to get himself some food to eat]
Sylvia: Heh, gotcha. (heads upstairs)
[aftr abt half an hour, Peepers was done eating n went upstairs to their room]
Sylvia: (in bed, snoozing away) |-) Zz...
Peepers: [sees her asleep n chuckles as he went to the separate bed he was sleeping next to hers, then thought abt it n finally decided to join her in her bed instead, squeezing in n cuddled close]
Sylvia: Zzz.... (pulls Peepers close into an embrace)
Peepers: [was caught off guard a bit, then smiled n nuzzled her, falling asleep] |-)

[they all rode bk to the planet in silence, with the occasional comforting frm Sylvia to Shelly, n before they knew it, they were bk at the ranch]
Mrs Dingleberry: [sees the ship land at the open field beyond their ranch n ran up to it excitedly] Shelly? Shekky?! Guys, get ovr here! I think they're bk with Shelly!!
Mr Dingleberry: [stopped whatevr he was doing n followed behind his wife along with Baxter]
Sylvia: (steps out with Peepers and Shelly, who she still carried in her arms)
Peepers: Hey guys, sorry if we took too long, had a bit of a snag
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh, thank u for bringing her bk. I'm so glad she's safe. Is she hurt? Is she OK?
Sylvia: She's a little shaken but alright at least.
Shelly: (reaches out to Mrs Dingleberry)
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh here we go, Mama's here. U look real beat up there, lets go to the bathroom n Mama will draw u up a bath [carries her into the house]
Peepers: [sighed tiredly] Sorry to cut n run, bt I need to take a break. I'll be at the lake [walks off]
Sylvia: ...Need the company?
Peepers: [shrugged] If u want to
Sylvia: (blushes a little, following him to the lake)
[the duo made their way to the lake, then Peepers sat dwn under the tree just staring up ahead in silence]
Sylvia: (sits next to him)... You meant all that?
Peepers: [a long pause] ......Meant wat?
Sylvia: About...loving me...?
Peepers: [blushed with another long pause] ...Y...Yeah... Sorta...
Sylvia: I see... (also does a long pause)
Peepers: ...Sorry
Sylvia: Sorry about what?
Peepers: Abt... not telling u sooner.... I guess I've always knew.... Deep dwn, there is some kind of admiration, a little impressed at how u hold urself together n how ur loyal to ur furball n all tht... Bt I was caught up with my feelings with Lord Hater... Then now ur on board with us... N aftr tht mock fight thing we did... I guess I sorta noticed it...
Sylvia: ...I see.
Peepers: I still believe I was meant for Lord Hater, so I was in denial, bt wen I finally let go of him... I guess tht feeling sorta slowly blossom. Bt... [blushed] ...then u go n... well... "play with urself" tht night we were surveying the planet...
Sylvia: (blinks) Y...you...you HEARD that?? (face is beat red) O///O
Peepers: Y-Yeah, I thought u were doing it in ur sleep, so I didnt wanna wake u... >////< N tbh, u kinda made me... well, "played with myself"
Sylvia: (blinks, still blushing hard) ... (burst out laughing) I made you do that too?? (rofl)
Peepers: Not funny, zbornak~ >/////< This is the first time I wanked off bcoz of someone other than Lord Hater...!! Its UR fault...!
Sylvia: (tries to stop laughing) Okay, okay, sorry. (giggle)
Peepers: Neways... Point is u opened up my feelings for u. Things tht I noticed bt ignored wen we were still rivals r more obvious, n then wen u told me abt Shelly, or Tiana in ur case, well...
Sylvia: ...You started caring about me more?
Peepers: Something like tht... N I also care abt Shelly too. Since I found her for u, I've also been monitoring her on my end... And... well... lets just say I got a little attached... Which is why I called her "my girl" n kinda snapped wen Ryder... well... u knw... [blushed hard]
Sylvia: (scootches closer) Do you...still want to take this slow...?
Peepers: [noticed bt doesnt stop her] Well... Not reli... Bt maybe... Not at someone else's home...
Sylvia: C'mon, spit it out, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: I mean... if u want us to be official, I'm not against it... Bt maybe we should do tht wen we're not exactly bunking in on ur girl's foster family's home... [blushed]
Sylvia: (blushes)...You're suggesting...us getting...?
Peepers: Why not? I mean... we've been thru quite a while, n we've gone this far... N dont tell me u nvr wanted it, coz judging by the tail ur secretly wrapping ard my waist right now, I knw u do
Sylvia: (blinks)... (chuckle) such a dork, like Bonehead. (kisses his cheek) It's a yes from me. ;)
Peepers: Pfft, says the crazy lovesick psycho... (giggle) [leans on Sylvia's shoulder] I... got a confession to make tho...
Sylvia: Which is...?
Peepers: I've already known abt Ryder for quite some time. I mean... Ever since u told me abt ur past, n ever since I started monitoring Shelly, I got curious, n I tried to look up on Ryder, tried to find out wat kind of person he is, n why u left him
Sylvia: I see.
Peepers: I'm not sure if u knew it, bt prior to meeting u, he was known as the most notorious Space Bandit of the Nine Galaxies. Murder, racketeering, drug trafficking, kidnapping... Any score he could get his hands on for money, he's done it all. He's wanted over a hundred dozen planets across the nine galaxies. He's on one of the top most wanted criminals in their database by the Galaxy Forces
Sylvia: pretty much. >_>
Peepers: I could tell he was dangerous, n I hv no idea how he managed to avoid the Galaxy Forces all these yrs, bt I knew he couldn't remain free like this, n I had a feeling he might be monitoring Shelly just like we are, which is why I contacted the Galaxy Forces that day wen I went out to survey for Lord Hater's honeymoon spot. I made a deal with them tht I'll help them track him dwn any chance I get. Thus the device I had on Ryder...
Sylvia: I see... (leans against Peepers)
Peepers: He knew wat I was talking abt. He knew tht if he get caught, the Galaxy Forces r not going to just put him in jail n throw away the keys or just straight up sentence him to death. Tht would be too easy, it's not the Galaxy Forces style. Not with the crimes he's committed. No, they're gonna do so much worse, he'd WISH they'd kill him, so I gave him my gun to spare him the misery...
Sylvia: Whoa...
Peepers: The gun shot u heard? Yeah, let's just say u hv finally seen the last of him
Sylvia: Yup... (hugs him close)
Peepers: [nuzzled close to him] ...Ur not upset abt me doing tht?
Sylvia: No...and at least Shelly didn't have to see that, or she'd be completely scarred.
Peepers: Yeah, she's been thru enough as it is
Sylvia: Mhm. (nuzzles him lovingly)
Peepers: U think... U think Shelly noticed tht I called her "my girl"? Come to think of it, its kinda embarrassing... =\\\\\=
Sylvia: (giggle) Maybe.
Peepers: Aah~ Why did I say tht? I'm barely evn ur boyfriend, let alone... >\\\\\\<
Sylvia: It shows you care. (kiss)
Peepers: Maybe a little too much -///-
Sylvia: And that's a bad thing because...?
Peepers: I dunno, I just feel awkward feeling too attached to things, especially wen they're technically not mine
Sylvia: (holds his hand, squeezing it) You'll get used to it eventually.
Peepers: Yeah, I guess so. So ur not mad either abt spying on Shelly n doing research on Ryder behind ur bk?
Sylvia: Not a bit.
Peepers: Good, bcoz I'd prolly do it all ovr again if I had a second chance. No regrets
Sylvia: Mhm... (pauses for a few minutes) ...Do you mind if I ask something...personal?
Peepers: I suppose so
Sylvia: Well... besides you wanking off, heh...you ever actually...BEEN with anyone?
Peepers: Not reli. I mean, I had a few flings wen we went ard conquering, bt it nvr got past second base, coz I was too busy dealing with Lord Hater. So... yeah...
Sylvia: I see.
Peepers: Wat abt u? I mean, besides Ryder, hv u been with anyone else?
Sylvia: Well...no, not really. And when it came to...being in that, Wander would just help me get a place where I could take care of my...you know, special needs.
Peepers: Wow, he actually helped u with that? I thought he'd be too naive to knw u needed "special care". But then again he gets heats n he knws abt the bonding n stuff, so I guess he's not totally naive
Sylvia: Nope, he knows about that sort of thing. He just never did it cause of not finding the one. You know, before he and Hater...
Peepers: True tht [looked up at the sky] Its getting dark soon. We better go bk to the house while we still hv daylight
Sylvia: Mhm... Need a lift?
Peepers: Well... Yeah, I guess so, I mean, only if ur OK with it
Sylvia: Yeah, it's cool. (kneels for him to get on)
Peepers: [climbed up onto her n held onto her reigns]
Sylvia: (heads in the directions back to the house)
Mrs Dingleberry: [sees the ship land at the open field beyond their ranch n ran up to it excitedly] Shelly? Shekky?! Guys, get ovr here! I think they're bk with Shelly!!
Mr Dingleberry: [stopped whatevr he was doing n followed behind his wife along with Baxter]
Sylvia: (steps out with Peepers and Shelly, who she still carried in her arms)
Peepers: Hey guys, sorry if we took too long, had a bit of a snag
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh, thank u for bringing her bk. I'm so glad she's safe. Is she hurt? Is she OK?
Sylvia: She's a little shaken but alright at least.
Shelly: (reaches out to Mrs Dingleberry)
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh here we go, Mama's here. U look real beat up there, lets go to the bathroom n Mama will draw u up a bath [carries her into the house]
Peepers: [sighed tiredly] Sorry to cut n run, bt I need to take a break. I'll be at the lake [walks off]
Sylvia: ...Need the company?
Peepers: [shrugged] If u want to
Sylvia: (blushes a little, following him to the lake)
[the duo made their way to the lake, then Peepers sat dwn under the tree just staring up ahead in silence]
Sylvia: (sits next to him)... You meant all that?
Peepers: [a long pause] ......Meant wat?
Sylvia: About...loving me...?
Peepers: [blushed with another long pause] ...Y...Yeah... Sorta...
Sylvia: I see... (also does a long pause)
Peepers: ...Sorry
Sylvia: Sorry about what?
Peepers: Abt... not telling u sooner.... I guess I've always knew.... Deep dwn, there is some kind of admiration, a little impressed at how u hold urself together n how ur loyal to ur furball n all tht... Bt I was caught up with my feelings with Lord Hater... Then now ur on board with us... N aftr tht mock fight thing we did... I guess I sorta noticed it...
Sylvia: ...I see.
Peepers: I still believe I was meant for Lord Hater, so I was in denial, bt wen I finally let go of him... I guess tht feeling sorta slowly blossom. Bt... [blushed] ...then u go n... well... "play with urself" tht night we were surveying the planet...
Sylvia: (blinks) Y...you...you HEARD that?? (face is beat red) O///O
Peepers: Y-Yeah, I thought u were doing it in ur sleep, so I didnt wanna wake u... >////< N tbh, u kinda made me... well, "played with myself"
Sylvia: (blinks, still blushing hard) ... (burst out laughing) I made you do that too?? (rofl)
Peepers: Not funny, zbornak~ >/////< This is the first time I wanked off bcoz of someone other than Lord Hater...!! Its UR fault...!
Sylvia: (tries to stop laughing) Okay, okay, sorry. (giggle)
Peepers: Neways... Point is u opened up my feelings for u. Things tht I noticed bt ignored wen we were still rivals r more obvious, n then wen u told me abt Shelly, or Tiana in ur case, well...
Sylvia: ...You started caring about me more?
Peepers: Something like tht... N I also care abt Shelly too. Since I found her for u, I've also been monitoring her on my end... And... well... lets just say I got a little attached... Which is why I called her "my girl" n kinda snapped wen Ryder... well... u knw... [blushed hard]
Sylvia: (scootches closer) Do you...still want to take this slow...?
Peepers: [noticed bt doesnt stop her] Well... Not reli... Bt maybe... Not at someone else's home...
Sylvia: C'mon, spit it out, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: I mean... if u want us to be official, I'm not against it... Bt maybe we should do tht wen we're not exactly bunking in on ur girl's foster family's home... [blushed]
Sylvia: (blushes)...You're suggesting...us getting...?
Peepers: Why not? I mean... we've been thru quite a while, n we've gone this far... N dont tell me u nvr wanted it, coz judging by the tail ur secretly wrapping ard my waist right now, I knw u do
Sylvia: (blinks)... (chuckle) such a dork, like Bonehead. (kisses his cheek) It's a yes from me. ;)
Peepers: Pfft, says the crazy lovesick psycho... (giggle) [leans on Sylvia's shoulder] I... got a confession to make tho...
Sylvia: Which is...?
Peepers: I've already known abt Ryder for quite some time. I mean... Ever since u told me abt ur past, n ever since I started monitoring Shelly, I got curious, n I tried to look up on Ryder, tried to find out wat kind of person he is, n why u left him
Sylvia: I see.
Peepers: I'm not sure if u knew it, bt prior to meeting u, he was known as the most notorious Space Bandit of the Nine Galaxies. Murder, racketeering, drug trafficking, kidnapping... Any score he could get his hands on for money, he's done it all. He's wanted over a hundred dozen planets across the nine galaxies. He's on one of the top most wanted criminals in their database by the Galaxy Forces
Sylvia: pretty much. >_>
Peepers: I could tell he was dangerous, n I hv no idea how he managed to avoid the Galaxy Forces all these yrs, bt I knew he couldn't remain free like this, n I had a feeling he might be monitoring Shelly just like we are, which is why I contacted the Galaxy Forces that day wen I went out to survey for Lord Hater's honeymoon spot. I made a deal with them tht I'll help them track him dwn any chance I get. Thus the device I had on Ryder...
Sylvia: I see... (leans against Peepers)
Peepers: He knew wat I was talking abt. He knew tht if he get caught, the Galaxy Forces r not going to just put him in jail n throw away the keys or just straight up sentence him to death. Tht would be too easy, it's not the Galaxy Forces style. Not with the crimes he's committed. No, they're gonna do so much worse, he'd WISH they'd kill him, so I gave him my gun to spare him the misery...
Sylvia: Whoa...
Peepers: The gun shot u heard? Yeah, let's just say u hv finally seen the last of him
Sylvia: Yup... (hugs him close)
Peepers: [nuzzled close to him] ...Ur not upset abt me doing tht?
Sylvia: No...and at least Shelly didn't have to see that, or she'd be completely scarred.
Peepers: Yeah, she's been thru enough as it is
Sylvia: Mhm. (nuzzles him lovingly)
Peepers: U think... U think Shelly noticed tht I called her "my girl"? Come to think of it, its kinda embarrassing... =\\\\\=
Sylvia: (giggle) Maybe.
Peepers: Aah~ Why did I say tht? I'm barely evn ur boyfriend, let alone... >\\\\\\<
Sylvia: It shows you care. (kiss)
Peepers: Maybe a little too much -///-
Sylvia: And that's a bad thing because...?
Peepers: I dunno, I just feel awkward feeling too attached to things, especially wen they're technically not mine
Sylvia: (holds his hand, squeezing it) You'll get used to it eventually.
Peepers: Yeah, I guess so. So ur not mad either abt spying on Shelly n doing research on Ryder behind ur bk?
