(meanwhile)
Sylvia: Do you think that...? :(
Peepers: I dunno, I hope not... [sees Hater n Wander entered] Hater, Wander. Wat happened? Is Janet OK?
Wander: [didnt reply, just shook his head n showed them the sprouts tht was in his arms]
Sylvia: Oh no... :O
Peepers: Oh gob, wat happened? Dont tell me its Wanda again...
Wander: [bit his lip n looked dwn sadly]
Hater: ...She's going WAY too far with this.
Wander: [closed his eyes tight n speed-walked away with the sprouts, sobbing]
Hater: (growls)
Sylvia: She needs to be taken down...
Peepers: No kidding. She's definitely gone too far. Killing someone who had totally nothing to do with their issues... [clenched his fists tight]
Sylvia: Yeah... (also clenches her fists)
Peepers: I'll come up with some tactical plans with Lord Hater. U should go see wat Wander is doing, Syl
Sylvia: (nod) Okay. (goes to check on Wander)
[following the slightly trail of dirt, it led Sylvia to one of the remote areas of the ship, into one of the rooms that looked like it hadn't been used in a while, labeled BOTANICS]
Sylvia: ...Wander, you in here?
Wander: [doesn't reply, but he could be seen going ard activating the long abandoned botanic machines n preparing a spot for the sprouts to grow]
Sylvia: (enters the room) Buddy?
Wander: [sees Sylvia] Hey, Syl. Could u help me find the biggest aquarium tank there is? U don't hv to carry it, ur pregnant, but just show me where it is [turned on more gadgets]
Sylvia: (nod) Sure.
Wander: [dug ard in one of the desks n found something tht looks like a manual, then read thru it a bit] Found it, buddy?
Sylvia: Will this do?
Wander: [looked up at it n nodded] (nod) Yeah, that'll do [look at the controls of one of the machines, n following the manual, he pressed a few buttons n soon a big mechanical claw came out n took out the aquarium tank, placing it onto the big table in the middle of the room]
Sylvia: ...She has to be taken down...
Wander: [doesn't reply as he concentrated on clicking more buttons, which activated some gadgets tht started pouring soil into the tank]
Sylvia: Did you hear me, Wander?
Wander: Hold tht thought, Syl [uses a step ladder to climb onto the table, then picks up the mound of dirt containing the sprouts n gently puts them into the tank, mixing the dirt together with the soil in the tank]
Sylvia: (sighs, watching him work)
Wander: [takes a trowel n a hand rake n gently smoothed out the soil, then took a water spray n sprayed water onto it to keep it moist, then found some fertilizer pellets n scattered them ard the tank, all the while working in silence]
Sylvia: (feels her middle, biting her lip)
Wander: [finally finished as he patted the dirt] Here u go, sweethearts. Ur safe with Uncle Wander now. We'll take good care of u [took off his gardening gloves n lowered his head] ....I agree, she should be taken dwn.... But I don't want to resort to violence...
Sylvia: There might not be any other choice, buddy...
Wander: I cannot bring myself to stoop to her level, Syl... There has to be another way to resolve this, without bloodshed...
Sylvia: She took away Hater's family, and just destroyed both Janet and Maurice... You're saying you'd be super fine if she took ME away??
Wander: And if we go to war with her, she will take EVERYONE away!! I CANNOT lose u, or Hatey, or Peepers, or the litters!! Violence beget violence, Syl, n I can't bear the thought of that!!
Sylvia: :( ... you really think there's another way?
Wander: I don't know... I can't think of anything yet... But there has to be a way to resolve this... without fighting Wanda. U don't know her like I do, how sick n violent she can get. She may be tiny like me, but she has a heart of a monster predator... She's not to be messed with
Sylvia: No kidding... (bites her lip again)
Wander: U ok there, Syl? The eggs bothering u?
Sylvia: The last thing I want... is her doing anything to them... ;(
Wander: Oh Syl... ;( [hugged her close]
Sylvia: (also hugs him close)
[a small squeaking sound could be heard coming frm the tank]
Sylvia: (blinked) Did...did you hear that?
Wander: Hear wat?
[Another squeak came]
Sylvia: From the tank...?
Wander: [made his way to the tank n peeked in]
[The squeaking sound was coming frm the sprouts as they slowly but surely started growing tiny buds, n slowly a row of small tiny flowers bloomed, 3 red roses n 2 blue bluebells]
Wander: :O Did u see that, Syl?
Sylvia: (looks with him) :O Wow...
Wander: Wow... They've finally bloomed
Sylvia: They're so tiny...
Wander: I know, they're so cute~ :)
[Another squeak was heard, the sprouts slowly forming words]
Sprouts: W... Wan... Wan-Wan...
Sylvia: :O
Wander: Their first words! They said their first words! Oh my gob! :D
Sylvia: :) How cute.
Sprouts: Wan-Wan... Wan-Wan...
Wander: Yes, it's me, Uncle Wander. Hey there, sweethearts
Sylvia: :) And Aunt Sylvia's here too.
Sprouts: S... Sy... Silly... An Silly...
Wander: Pfft! XD
Sylvia: =3= Close enough.
Wander: I dunno if Janet has named them yet, but we'll nvr know now tht Janet is gone. Ithink we should come up with names for them
Sylvia: (nod) Yeah.
Wander: Hmm... I'm assuming the red roses should be girls n bluebells should be boys
Sylvia: Mhm.
Wander: Got any ideas tho?
Sylvia: Hmm...
Wander: [tapped his chin, thinking as well]
Sylvia: ...Perhaps flower related names?
Wander: Hmm, I don't think so, coz they're already flowers to begin with, n giving them flower names wen they don't look like the flower name is just confusing. Something decent, like how I gave Janet her name
Sylvia: (nod) True.
Wander: Hmm... Maybe this one can be named Jack [pointed at one of the bluebells] He seems like a Jack to me
Sylvia: (nod) (looks at the tiniest rose) She seems like a Cosmo.
Wander: Cosmo? Isn't that a boy's name tho?
Sylvia: I've heard it as a girl's name too.
Wander: I see... OK, Cosmo it is [looked at the biggest rose n grinned] This is definitely a Helga or a Gilda for me
Sylvia: How about Helga?
Wander: (nod) Sure. Three dwn, two to go
Sylvia: What else...? (looking at the other bluebell)
Wander: Hmm... U can think a name for the boy while I think a name for the girl
Sylvia: (nod) Got it.
Wander: [thought for a bit] Although... TBH, I'd like it if they took on their parents' names. Carry on their legacy
Sylvia: ...Yeah, why don't we do that?
Wander: (nod) So Maurice [pointed at the last bluebell] and Janet [pointed at the last rose]
Sylvia: (nod) Sounds good.
Wander: Hey, guys. Those r ur names, u hear? U be good n grow nice n strong, then Uncle Wander will find u a nice galaxy for u where u can form ur own solar system n soon make ur own cluster n do ur mommy n daddy proud, OK?
Sylvia: ^_^ (then feels her middle again)
Wander: U alright, Syl?
Sylvia: I'm fine...just hope the babies will be too.
Wander: Yeah, hope so too (nod) [looked ard] Luckily I remember this place from the last time I explored this ship. Guess they gave up on growing stuff here
Sylvia: Guess so.
Wander: Let's go bk to the guys. They're prolly wondering where we are
Sylvia: (nod) Yeah.
