[a mth has passed since then, n Hater n Peepers had all bt exhausted all means to try n find Wanda n her ship, n subsequently Wander. Almost evry night, the skeletor ovrlord was plagued with nightmares of Wander being tortured at the hands of Wanda. Tht night was no different]
Hater: |-) ... No...N-no... Wander... ><
[images of Wander being tortured by evry form imaginable filled his dreams, echoing laughter of Wanda n sobs of Wander in the bkground, until it suddenly zoomed into Wanda staring him dwn with a evil look on her face and her brandishing Wander's severed head at him]
Hater: Stop... please, don't hurt him... >< No! (jolts up awake)
[there was no other sound, only the ticking of the clock, n the empty side of the bed where Wander was supposed to be]
Litters: [whimpered at Hater's sudden outburst]
Hater: (sighs, before getting up to check on the litters)
[the younger litters were stirring but still asleep, the older litter were awake, whining a little as they peeked out of their crib]
Hater: It's okay, sweeties... it's okay, daddy's still here...
Older litter: [whined] Papa... Mama... [teary eyed, missing their mother]
Hater: :( (scoops the older litter in his arms, embracing them) ;(
Older litter: [whimpered] ;(
Hater: I miss Mama too... ;(
Older litter: N... Num num... [meaning they were hungry]
Hater: Right, hang on. (heads over to the mini fridge to get the milk and got to feeding the litter in his arms)
Older litter: [fed from the bottle n settled dwn in Hater's arms, slowly drifting] (tired)
Hater: (rocks them gently, humming a soft lullaby)
Older litter: (tired).... |-) Zzzzz.....
Hater: (smiles sadly and tucks them back into their crib)
[it was then he noticed that Crimson was missing, prolly crawled away while Hater was looking thru the fridge for their milk]
Hater: Crimson? (looks around) Crimson, sweetie, where are you??
[the door was slightly ajar n a very distant baby giggling sound could be heard dwn the hallway]
Hater: (hurries into hallway, calling out for Crimson)
[more baby giggling led the skeletor overlord to the Botanic Room]
Hater: (hurries into that room) Crimson, what are-?
Crimson: [somehow climbed up the table where the sprouts r n was giggling, playing with their vines as the sprouts laughed too, playing with him]
Hater: Heh, there you are. (comes over to them)
Sprouts: Unca... Haddy...! [still haven't gotten the hang of speaking, but at least they recognize him]
Hater: (kneels) Hey there. :)
Sprouts: Unca... Haddy... Weh... Wan-Wan...?
Hater: :( ... We're trying to find him as best as we can...
Sprouts: Wan-Wan... no... home...?
Hater: No...
Sprouts: [looked at each other then turned bk to Hater] Unca... Haddy.... Dig, dig!
Hater: ?
Sprouts: [used their vines to point dwn to the bottom of their tank] Wan-Wan.... Supise...! Dig, dig!
Hater: (a little confused, used his hand to dig carefully into the soil)
[something that felt like cloth grazed his fingers n looked like a familiar green]
Hater: What...? (carefully pulls it out)
[it was Wander's hat, n it made a small spluttering sound as dirt fell off it wen Hater pulled it out, giving him a "About time" scowl]
Hater: :O Hatty? (dusts it off)
Hat: [had a grimace look as it was being dusted, then spits out a small note at his face]
Hater: ? (takes note and reads it)
Note: Dear Hatey, not sure if u hv noticed that I haven't been wearing my hat for the past few days. That's bcoz in an event that Wanda might find us n take me away, I can keep Hatty away safe from her clutches so she wouldn't misuse him, n also so that u can find me. I don't know wen will it happen, but I hv a strong feeling it will, thus I hid Hatty here with the sprouts for safe keeping, n I know one way or another, u will find Hatty n use him to find me. I love u, Hatey, n I hope to see u soon. Love, Wander
Hater: :( ... (to the hat) You can help me find him, can't you?
Hat: [the star on it shone, giving him a "Duh" frown]
Hater: :) Great. Do you have any idea of the location?
Sprouts: Pee-Pee! Wan-Wan say... Bing hat to Pee-Pee!
Hater: (nod) Right, gotcha.
