[the odd couple was soon in space n on their way bk to Planet Janet]
Peepers: (signs) There she is. :)
Sylvia: :) Finally. 2 days of warp jumps is killing my back [stretched a little before continued to steer towards the planet]
Peepers: (stretches as well)
Sylvia: Right, we're almost landing. Hang tight
Peepers: (does so)
[they soon landed on Planet Janet]
Janet: Ooh, I feel some craft landing on me. N the smell seems to be the zbornak n the Watchdog
Wander: :) They're back.
Janet: Seems like it
Hater: Great! Let's go meet them :)
Wander: (takes Hater's hand and leads them outside)
Janet: Their ship is abt a few miles away. Here, lemme take u there [materialized a carriage n drove them there to the destination]
Hater: [looked out the window excitedly]
Wander: :)
Janet: Almost there. Just right up ahead
Hater: Cool :) Can't wait to meet my buddy
Wander: :) Can't wait for good news from Sylvia's mission.
Janet: [parked them close to the ship]
Sylvia: [was getting out of the ship with a bit of strain wen she saw them] Well, look who's our welcoming party
Peepers: :)
Wander: :D Hey, Syl.
Hater: Yooo, Peepers, my buddy~! :D [picks him up n twirls him ard excitedly] It's been forever! How're u doing?
Sylvia: Yo, heya, buddy [high fives him]
Wander: (high fives back) :) How were you guys?
Peepers: :D (hugs back)
Sylvia: Hit a small snag, but overall we're good. Hey, Peeps. Wanna show them ur surprise?
Hater: Huh? Wat surprise?
Peepers: (signs) Surprise! :)
Wander: :O Whoa.
Hater: :O P-Peepers! U can talk?!
Sylvia: [points at the gadget] With tht gizmo he can ;)
Peepers: :D (signs) I can finally hear myself talk. Well, it may not be my real voice but it still works.
Hater: U sound pretty swell. It suits u
Peepers: ^^
Wander: :) ... (idea) Maybe you'd like to help with our recent problem then, Peepers?
Peepers: ?
Hater: [blinked, didn't get it at first, then smiled] Oh yeah! Dipper!
Sylvia: Huh? Wat abt Dipper?
Wander: We...found out he isn't able to hear. At all. :(
Sylvia: W-Wat? How did tht happen?
Hater: Something to do with him being born tht way... [looked away, the guilty feeling still lingering]
Wander: (pets his arm) :(
Peepers: (signs) This means I won't have to just teach Dipper, but you guys as well?
Wander: It does.
Peepers: (think) ... (signs) Perhaps it can be my way of thanking you for taking me in and all. :)
Hater: Only if ur OK with it. We don't want to make it sound like we're forcing u to do it
Sylvia: [nodded in agreement at Hater's words]
Peepers: (signs) I don't mind, really.
Hater: [smiled n hugged him gratefully]
Sylvia: [cracked her bk a bit as she stretched] Man, reli long journey. My bk is killing me. We heading bk to ur plc anytime soon?
Wander: :) Sure thing.
Janet: Hop on aboard then [opened the carriage door for them]
Hater: [let Peepers go up first before joining behind him]
Wander: (also gets in)
Sylvia: [followed slowly behind]
Janet: All aboard~ [drove them bk to the cabin]
Peepers: :)
Wander: Sylvia, you doing alright?
Sylvia: Uh, yeah, just a little tired out frm the mission. I think I need more sleep (yawn)
Wander: (pets her shoulder) You get all the rest you need, you've had a rough mission and all that.
Hater: Yeah, we've kept ur room just the way u left it n all [nudged Peepers n asked quietly] So... u two official for realsies yet? (smirk)
Sylvia: [nodded at Wander n yawned again, closing her eyes during the ride]
Peepers: ^^;; (signs) In a way, I guess.
Hater: Oooh~ Gonna be wedding bells anytime soon? :D
Peepers: (signs) We haven't figured out when yet exactly.
Hater: Ooh, taking it slow, I see?
Peepers: (nod)
Hater: That's good, taking it slow is good, get to know the person more, build a better relationship before u guys take the plunge
Peepers: (signs) Indeed.

Flesh of My Blood-Chp93
[30 mins later, Awesome n Ryder dropped by, along with the room service, n soon the four of them chatted the day away, updating each other on stuff, then went out for shopping a bit, until finally tht evening, Sylvia n Peepers were ready to leave]
Awesome: Too bad u hv to go so soon. We could've caught up a little bit more for a few days. U sorta just got bk yesterday
Sylvia: Yeah, bt it's been long ovrdue. Wander prolly needs me, n I need to deliver him the good news abt Hater's slave status
Peepers: (signs) But there's still some other time we can hang out.
Ryder: He's right on that, dude.
Sylvia: Yeah, we'll be bunking in on Planet Janet for a while, so maybe u can come ovr if ur feeling it
Awesome: I suppose tht could work
Ryder: :) Sure thing.
Peepers: :D
Awesome: It was nice hanging out with ya, pipsqueak. I had fun [ruffled his head]
Sylvia: (giggle)
Peepers: (signs) I had fun with you guys, too. :)
Awesome: Don't be a stranger now. Visit whenever u need to
Sylvia: We will. Come, lets go. Wander n Hater r prolly waiting for us

Flesh of My Blood-Chp92
[Sylvia slept thru the day, utterly tired, n by the time she woke up it was late afternoon]
Sylvia: [stirred a little] Nnnhh... Wat time is it...? [fumbles abt for a clock or something to tell her the time]
Clock: (read 12:45pm)
Sylvia: Oi vey... That late...? Nnhh... Now I feel kinda peckish... [slowly sits up on the bed, rubbing the sleep off her eyes]
*knock knock*
Peepers: (poked his head in)
Sylvia: [blinked n sees Peepers] Hey, pipsqueak. Sorry, I kinda overslept...
Peepers: (signs) It's okay. You had a long mission, so you needed the rest.
Sylvia: [chuckled] It's so weird. Been so used to not hearing u, then wishing I could, n now that I can, it's just...weird (giggle)
Peepers: (giggle) (signs) We saved you some breakfast.
Sylvia: [blinked] We?
Peepers: (signs) Awesome and Ryder? They offered to buy yours before they left.
Sylvia: Oh wow, u shouldn't hv, reli. I could've just ordered room service. But thanks :)
Peepers: :)
Sylvia: [slowly gets up] I'll go freshen up. I'll see u out there [makes her way to the bathroom]
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [sighed as she stared at the mirror, then washes her face, dries it, takes a deep breath n forced herself to put a smile on her face for a while before coming out n meet Peppers at the dining area where the food was]
Peepers: :) (signs) Hey. Doing okay?
Sylvia: Yeah, just still a little tired. It was pretty brutal, kinda [sits dwn n starts eating] Man, I reli need to get used to u "talking" to me (giggle)
Peepers: (signs) Yeah. (giggle)
Sylvia: How's the device for u? Is it too tight or too heavy? Reminds me of some kind of gauntlet tho
Peepers: (signs) It feels pretty light.
Sylvia: [chk the gear] Hmm, must be made by carbon fibre. It does feel light, bt still pretty strong too
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: I bet ur pretty curious as to wat I've been doing the past week
Peepers: (signs) So, what happened? How did the mission go?
Sylvia: Well, where should I start...? [proceed to tell him a pretty long story abt how she went on with the mission, which included making fake phone calls to authorities to report them on legal activities just to spook them, occasional threatening mail, smuggling the contraband chemicals in the middle of the night into their underground basement, planting fake documents to frame them for smuggling n selling contraband products, n then springing a leak on one of the chemical drums n lit them on fire, bt not before helping all the slaves n workers escape n trapping the manager in the building n blowing it all up] ...So yeah, tht's the gist of it
Peepers: :O
Sylvia: Yeah, I know, crazy, right? [noticed that she had finished all her food while she talked but was still hungry] Wow, did I finish all that? Still a little hungry tho. Hand me the phone. I'm calling room service
Peepers: (think) (gets her the phone)
Sylvia: Thanks [takes the phone n called for room service, making her orders]
[Peepers' own phone rang, the ring tone signifying a video call]
Peepers: (looks to see who it is)
[it was Awesome's caller ID]
Peepers: (answers)
Awesome: Yo, Pipsqueak! How's it hanging? Is Bee up?
Peepers: (texts) Hey, what's up?
Awesome: Good. Just wondering if Bee's up so we can come visit
Peepers: (texts) Right now, she's busy ordering room service.
Awesome: More food? Huh, she must be reli hungry. Did she finish the food we saved for her? I thought it was quite a lot
Peepers: (texts) She did, but I guess she felt real hungry from her mission.
Awesome: I bet. Hey, ask her if she's cool for us to drop by?
Peepers: (texts) I will.
Awesome: I meant ask her now. She's right there, isn't she? -__-
Peepers: (texts) Hang on. (turns to Sylvia, signing) Hey, Syl?
Sylvia: [just finished ordering] Yeah, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (signs) Is it okay for Awesome and Ryder to drop by?
Sylvia: Yeah, sure, no prob, I'm good
Peepers: (texts) She says it's cool.
Awesome: Great. Ryder and I will be there in 30 mins
Peepers: :) (texts) Cya in a bit.
Sylvia: [tries to keep busy while waiting for the food to come by clearing n stacking the plates onto the food cart]
Peepers: (signs) You...sure everything's okay?
Sylvia: Yeah, everything is good. Why wouldn't it be?
Peepers: (signs) You seem kind of stressed.
Sylvia: Guess I'm still a little wound up from my mission. It'll take time to cool dwn. I can't wait to get bk to Planet Janet n bk to Wander. Going bk to conquering planets would be a good change of pace
Peepers: (signs) And also surprise them with my new way to talk, too. :)
Sylvia: I bet they'll flip their gourd wen they finally hear ur "voice" :D
Peepers: (giggle)
Sylvia: Enough abt me. How hv u been doing with the guys? Besides the device they gave u, wat else hv u guys been doing for fun?
Peepers: (signs) We've been sight seeing, doing tourist stuff here and there.
Sylvia: I see. Anything interesting happen during tht time?
Peepers: (signs) Well, we did get a see a few preformers on the street once in a while.
Sylvia: Oh? Wat did they do?
Peepers: (signs) Just stuff like, swallowing swords and disappearing acts.
Sylvia: Ooh, sounds like fun. Ur definitely getting along with the boys
Peepers: (signs) In a way, yes. Hopefully that doesn't bother Hater cause he's a friend, too.
Sylvia: Naw, knowing that bonehead, he's prolly too smitten over Wander n the pups to be bothered abt tht
Peepers: (signs) Think so?
Sylvia: I know so. As dumb as I think he is, I don't think he's the possessive friend type. Possessive LOVER on the other hand, I wouldn't put it past him (giggle)
Peepers: (giggle)
Sylvia: So are the guys coming ovr?
Peepers: (signs) In about 30 minutes.
Sylvia: Cool. Tht's abt the same time room service will come in. So, r u ready to go bk to Planet Janet aftr this?
Peepers: (signs) Sure thing. :)
Sylvia: Right, I'll finish food ASAP, hang out with the guys for a bit, maybe do some light shopping n we can go bk
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [stirred a little] Nnnhh... Wat time is it...? [fumbles abt for a clock or something to tell her the time]

[it wasn't until almost dawn tht the sound of the keycard for the penthouse suite opened the door, n in hobbled a dark figure into the room, looking ovr the Watchdog who had already came upstairs n was sleeping on the couch in front of the TV]
??: [whispered] Wat the... Wat r u doing sleeping here, pipsqueak...?
Peepers: |-) Zz.... (heard the voice) (yawn) ?
[the table light nxt to the couch was turned on, n the figure was revealed to be Sylvia, looking pretty banged up, bt otherwise in one piece]
Sylvia: Hey, pipsqueak. Wat r u doing here? U'll catch a cold
Peepers: :o (jumps up to give her a big hug)
Sylvia: [winced a little] Woah, hey, hey, easy. I got a few bruises n broken bones here n there [chuckles n hugged him bk anyway]
Peepers: :) (relieved she was alright)
Sylvia: :) How're u doing these days? Hv u been good with my friends?
Peepers: (nod) (holds out his hand to show her the device)
Sylvia: Wat's this? [looked at the gauntlet-looking arm armour for a bit n noticed] :O Is tht the translator device?
Peepers: (signs) It sure is. ;)
Sylvia: Oh my gob, it reli does work. I can finally hear ur voice :D
Peepers: :)
Sylvia: How did they manage? Must've been reli hard to get
Peepers: (signs) You'd have to ask them yourselves.
Sylvia: [sighed in relief] It's so good to finally understand u for real now. I bet Wander n Hater r gonna be amazed by it
Peepers: (nod) (signs) They sure will be.
Sylvia: [sighed tiredly] Sorry to cut us short. I'm reli beat right now. I'm gonna go take a bath n then go to bed. I'll tell u everything tht happened tomorrow, OK?
Peepers: (signs) Alright, you have a good sleep Syl. :)
Sylvia: :) Thanks [turned towards the bathroom, sighed as she secretly stroke her middle a little before entering the bathroom n drew a bath]
Peepers: (yawn) (heads for his own bed to get some sleep)
Sylvia: [as she soaked in the bath, looking at the mirror, unsure of how to break the news to Peepers, or not at all, as she sighed n laid back, savouring her warm bubble bath]
(thoughts of how Peepers would react to her hiding this from her ran through her mind)
Sylvia: [sighed n finished her bath before retiring to bed]
Peepers: (was in his bed) |-) Zzz...
??: [whispered] Wat the... Wat r u doing sleeping here, pipsqueak...?
Peepers: |-) Zz.... (heard the voice) (yawn) ?

[a week passed by since Sylvia had left, n still no word frm her, tho Awesome and Ryder kept Peepers occupied with sightseeing n tourist-y stuff, as well as helping him with sign language, n now they hv a surprise for him]
Awesome: Keep ur eye closed there, pipsqueak
Peepers: >< (doing what the shark says)
Ryder: :D No peaking now.
Awesome: [rummaged his backpack n handed Peepers a present, which is just a brown cardboard box]
Ryder: :)
Peepers: (peeked to see the box) ?
Awesome: Alright, u can open the box
Peepers: (opens it, blinked and pulled out a device, looking at Awesome and Ryder to ask 'This is...?')
Awesome: Yup, it's the sign language translator. Ur lucky too, coz it was almost out of stock
Ryder: :) Got it just in time.
Peepers: ... :) (tries it on)
Awesome: How does it feel? Try sign something
Peepers: (think) (moves his hands slowly)
Device: (in monotone) I... Am... Peepers...
Awesome: Woah, cool~~
Ryder: :D It works.
Peepers: :O (signs some more) I am Watchdog...
Awesome: Wow, it totally does! Hmm, needs adjusting to the voice tho, too robotic [consults the manual]
Ryder: Think so? I thought it sounded cool like that.
Peepers: ... ;(
Ryder: :O Whoa, you okay, little dude?
Awesome: :O Woah, woah, u OK there? Do u not like it? I can always send it bk... :(
Peepers: (trying to sign while sniffling) I haven't...heard my voice...in so long, and...this...it may not be my own voice, but... ;(
Awesome: Aww, there, there... [patted his back] Like we said, a friend of Bee is a friend of ours, n this is wat friends do: we help each other out. Right, Ryder?
Ryder: (nod) That's right.
Peepers: (sniffles) :)
Awesome: So u want me to adjust the voice so tht it'll sound more human and less robot?
Peepers: (nod)
Ryder: :)
Awesome: OK, let's see... [flipped thru the manual] Ah, voice module, somewhere here [flicked at a button near the elbow] Let's make some adjustments... [pressed at some stuff] OK, test it out
Peepers: (signs) I am Peepers Watchdog.
Ryder: Sounds a bit better.
Awesome: Yeah, if u wanna sound like a female Watchdog -_-
Peepers: ^^;;
Ryder: ^^;;
Awesome: [adjusted again] OK, let's give tht another shot
Peepers: (signs) Peepers Watchdog.
Awesome: Ugh, u sound like a 5 years old on helium gas
Peepers: (shrugs)
Awesome: Here we go again [adjusted a bit more] There, hope third time's the charm
Ryder: (think)
Peepers: (signs) I am Peepers Watchdog.
Awesome: :) Much better, u sound just like a proper person. I like that voice. Won't Bee be surprised :D
Peepers: :D
Ryder: :) Sweet.
[the TV was playing some random reality show, then suddenly switched to breaking news]
News anchor: Breaking news, the headlines. In Planet Bordia, a building has exploded n collapsed, leaving 11 dead n 50 unaccounted for...
Awesome: Hey, that sounds like the planet where Bee's mission is
Ryder: :O That can't be good.
Peepers: :O
News anchor: The building is known for hosting numerous functions n auctions, including the famous legal slave trade auction. Authorities discovered contraband chemicals underneath the basement of the building, that may hv sprung a leak, causing the explosion. Among those dead is the manager of the building n a number of his closest staff [the photo of the manager Peepers n Sylvia met was displayed on the side panel of the screen] More investigation is conducted, but the initial conclusion is accidental leak, but they won't rule out foul play or terrorism...
Awesome: Woah, tht is so Bee. Go big, or not go at all :o
Peepers: :(
Ryder: Relax, I'm sure Sylvia is still okay. (though worried himself)
Awesome: Yeah, well, keeping our fingers crossed here
Ryder: So, should we head back?
Peepers: (focused on the tv screen)
Awesome: Head back where? We hv to stay with Peeps till she gets bk, remember?
Ryder: -_- I meant the room we're staying in, genius.
Awesome: [sees Peepers lost at the TV screen] Yeah, prolly better to give him some time alone to process this
Ryder: Yeah, we should.
Peepers: :(
Awesome: Hey, buddy. We're gonna jet a bit. Ur gonna be OK here?
Peepers: (signs) Yeah... I'll be fine.
Awesome: Cool. Cya soon [went off with Ryder]
Peepers: (still watching the screen, praying for Sylvia's safety)
Awesome: Keep ur eye closed there, pipsqueak
Peepers: >< (doing what the shark says)
Ryder: :D No peaking now.

Peepers: (trying to sign while sniffling) I haven't...heard my voice...in so long, and...this...it may not be my own voice, but... ;(
Awesome: Aww, there, there... [patted his back] Like we said, a friend of Bee is a friend of ours, n this is wat friends do: we help each other out. Right, Ryder?
Ryder: (nod) That's right.
Peepers: (sniffles) :)
Awesome: So u want me to adjust the voice so tht it'll sound more human and less robot?
Peepers: (nod)
Ryder: :)
Awesome: OK, let's see... [flipped thru the manual] Ah, voice module, somewhere here [flicked at a button near the elbow] Let's make some adjustments... [pressed at some stuff] OK, test it out
Peepers: (signs) I am Peepers Watchdog.
Ryder: Sounds a bit better.
Awesome: Yeah, if u wanna sound like a female Watchdog -_-
Peepers: ^^;;
Ryder: ^^;;
Awesome: [adjusted again] OK, let's give tht another shot
Peepers: (signs) Peepers Watchdog.
Awesome: Ugh, u sound like a 5 years old on helium gas
Peepers: (shrugs)
Awesome: Here we go again [adjusted a bit more] There, hope third time's the charm
Ryder: (think)
Peepers: (signs) I am Peepers Watchdog.
Awesome: :) Much better, u sound just like a proper person. I like that voice. Won't Bee be surprised :D
Peepers: :D
Ryder: :) Sweet.
[the TV was playing some random reality show, then suddenly switched to breaking news]
News anchor: Breaking news, the headlines. In Planet Bordia, a building has exploded n collapsed, leaving 11 dead n 50 unaccounted for...
Awesome: Hey, that sounds like the planet where Bee's mission is
Ryder: :O That can't be good.
Peepers: :O
News anchor: The building is known for hosting numerous functions n auctions, including the famous legal slave trade auction. Authorities discovered contraband chemicals underneath the basement of the building, that may hv sprung a leak, causing the explosion. Among those dead is the manager of the building n a number of his closest staff [the photo of the manager Peepers n Sylvia met was displayed on the side panel of the screen] More investigation is conducted, but the initial conclusion is accidental leak, but they won't rule out foul play or terrorism...
Awesome: Woah, tht is so Bee. Go big, or not go at all :o
Peepers: :(
Ryder: Relax, I'm sure Sylvia is still okay. (though worried himself)
Awesome: Yeah, well, keeping our fingers crossed here
Ryder: So, should we head back?
Peepers: (focused on the tv screen)
Awesome: Head back where? We hv to stay with Peeps till she gets bk, remember?
Ryder: -_- I meant the room we're staying in, genius.
Awesome: [sees Peepers lost at the TV screen] Yeah, prolly better to give him some time alone to process this
Ryder: Yeah, we should.
Peepers: :(
Awesome: Hey, buddy. We're gonna jet a bit. Ur gonna be OK here?
Peepers: (signs) Yeah... I'll be fine.
Awesome: Cool. Cya soon [went off with Ryder]
Peepers: (still watching the screen, praying for Sylvia's safety)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp89
[the duo made their way bk to the house]
Wander: (enters the house) Mama?
[there was no reply]
Hater: Mama...? [looked ard the area]
Wander: (grows worried)... Mama, you okay?? (goes to look for her)
Hater: [tries to find her in the nursery, since he remembered she was going to put the litter dwn for a nap, then gasped as he saw her slumped on the floor next to the crib] Mama!! M-Master...!!
Wander: (hurries to the sound of Hater's cry) ... :O Mama! (kneels next to her, trying to waken her)
Wildflower: [groaned a little, her breathing a little shallow]
Hater: [chk tht the litter were OK, fast asleep, then searched for the breathing apparatus n passed it to Wander]
Wander: (places the breathing piece on Wildflower's mouth) :(
Wildflower: [takes in the oxygen, breathing in as much as she could as she slowly stirred] Nnnhh...
Hater: [watches worriedly]
Wander: Mama...? Mama, you alright? :(
Wildflower: [slowly sits up] Nnnhhh... Yeah, I think so...
Hater: U were supposed to put that breathing apparatus on at all times, Mama, wat with ur health...
Wildflower: Sorry... I thought I felt better n don't need it for the day... Guess I underestimated myself, haha...
Wander: (embraces her) You had me scared that...that you might've...;(
Wildflower: [chuckled n hugged him bk] It'll take a lot more than that to take me dwn. I'm not missing u boys getting married even if the Angel of Death itself is knocking at my door literally
Wander: (sighs)... We found what's wrong with Dipper.
Wildflower: Oh? Is he OK? Wat's wrong with him?
Hater: [bit his lip, afraid of how she'd react if he told her]
Wander:... He's deaf.
Wildflower: :O Oh no... How is that possible?
Wander: :( (explains what the medic said) ...and Hater feels you'd hate him for this happening...
Wildflower: Oh, Hatey... :(
Hater: I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's my fault, Mama... I knew something would go wrong... I knew something bad would rub off frm me on the litter... I'm sorry... ;(
Wander: (hugs him, comforting) It's not your fault, Hatey... it's not your fault... :(
Wildflower: Oh Hatey, come here [leans in to hug him as well] It's not ur fault, these things happen, n u can't control it anymore than Wander can
Hater: But... [was stopped by Wildflower's finger on his lips]
Wildflower: Do u think it's my fault tht Treetrunk was born sterile?
Hater: N-No...
Wildflower: And do u think it's my fault tht I hv cancer? Do u think I should blame my parents or my ancestors for having this hereditary disease?
Hater: N...No...
Wildflower: Then it's not ur fault Dipper is deaf, he's just born this way n there's nothing u could've done to prevent it. U hv done everything right wen u were pregnant, n I made sure of tht as well. It's fate. A fate tht couldn't be avoided evn if u try. So stop blaming urself, OK?
Hater: [sniffled] ;(
Wander: She is right, Hater... we can't always control fate...
Hater: [sniffles] Ur right... It's just tht... I can't help feeling bad, tht I'm responsible...
Wildflower: I know u do, it's ur maternal instincts, but don't dwell on it too long. No one is blaming u for anything, OK?
Hater: [sniffles] (nod)
Wander: :) Feel a bit better, Hatey?
Hater: (nod) Yeah, a little. U guys r so understanding, it's almost unreal
Wildflower: That's wat we are :D
Wander: ^^ Never hurts to help.
Hater: [chuckled] Heh, would be a nice catch phrase for u if u weren't an overlord (giggle)
Wildflower: (giggle)
Wander: Heh, yeah... :)
Hater: So wat are we gonna do now? With Dipper unable to hear us and all...
Wander: ...We'll have to start learning it and teaching him as well.
Wildflower: Best if start early. Maybe u can find someone to teach Dipper, tutor him in tht. U got the money, power n connections
Hater: That sounds like a plan
Wander: (nod)
Hater: I reli hope Sylvia n Peepers r doing OK out there tho. No word frm them since the last time u called them
Wander: Hopefully Sylvia's taking care of that mission and being safe. And maybe you can try texting Peepers again, Hatey.
Hater: I want to, bt I don't want to be a nuisance n all tht. Who knws, he might be tagging along with her on the mission n I might be interrupting him
Wander: I don't think Sylvia would want him to get involved in anything dangerous...
Hater: Probably. But I better not bother him. He's probably busy with his own thing while waiting for Sylvia
Wander: Who knows. (shrugs)
Wander: (enters the house) Mama?
[there was no reply]
Hater: Mama...? [looked ard the area]
Wander: (grows worried)... Mama, you okay?? (goes to look for her)
Hater: [tries to find her in the nursery, since he remembered she was going to put the litter dwn for a nap, then gasped as he saw her slumped on the floor next to the crib] Mama!! M-Master...!!

Flesh of My Blood-Chp88
[The trio soon spent their time together, getting to knw each other n also helping each other out on various things, mainly Awesome n Ryder helping Peepers out with his sign language thing. Meanwhile, bk on Planet Janet...]
Wander: (was feeding the pups) Not so hard, sweeties. Daddy's a little sore.
Hater: [comes in with snacks for Wander] Hey, Wander. How's the pups?
Wander: Just feeding them right now.
Hater: I knw, just wondering how they're doing. Here, hv something to munch on. Ur mom said u need the calories aftr feeding them so much [pushes the tray of food to him]
Wander: :) Thanks.
Pups: (had their fill)
Hater: Oh, looks like they're done [picks some of them up in his big arm to burp them]
Wander: (does the same with the other half of the litter)
Hater: [chuckled once he hears them burp, then jumped wen he heard a loud thundering boom] Wat the...?
Wander: :O Whoa.
Litter: (whimper at the noise) ;(
Janet: Sorry, sorry, my bad! One of my volcanos near the marshes exploded! I'm keeping it under control!
Hater: Ugh, why do I hv a mental image of a planet's version of a pimple popping... :/
Wander: (trying to comfort the litter, but then noticed something in confusion and concern)
Hater: [hushed the litter in his arms, then noticed Wander's confused look] Wander? Is there something wrong? R u OK?
Wander: ...Dipper? (had noticed the pup had no reaction whatsoever to the sudden noise) Dipper, honey?
Hater: [looked at Dipper who just yawned n slept in Hater's arms] Wha...? [looked at the litter who were still sobbing n whimpering n bk at Dipper] Tht's... Tht's strange...
Wander: (thought for a moment, then clapped his hands once to see if he could get a response from the pup)
Dipper: [just continued sleeping]
Hater: W-Wander... W-Wat's wrong with Dipper...? [feared the worst, bt didn't want to say it out loud]
Wander: You...you don't think he's...?
Hater: I... I don't knw... [his face was filled with sadness n concern]
Wander:... We need to double check with the medic.
Hater: [nodded as he brought the litter out] Umm, Mama? U OK to look aftr the rest of the litter for a while? We need to bring Dipper to the medic
Wildflower: Yeah, I can spare a few mins. Something wrong?
Wander: There...might be something wrong with Dipper. :(
Wildflower: Oh my, wat is it?
Hater: We're not sure, that's why we need to bring him to the medic [hands the rest of the litter to her] Here, u be good with ur grammy now
Wildflower: [takes the litter] Alright, come to Grammy n let Grammy put u to bed, eh?
Litter: (yawn)
Wander: (leaves with Hater and Dipper)
Wildflower: [hummed to the litter as she brought them to their nursery room to tuck them to sleep]
Hater: [cradling Dipper close as he n Wander made their way to the mothership where the medic is]
Wander: (steps into medical bay) Medic?
Doctor: Oh yes, Lord Wander. Wat can I do u for?
Wander: We... need to check if something's wrong with Dipper.
Doctor: Wat seems to be the problem?
Hater: I dunno... Janet's volcano suddenly erupted just now n he didnt evn respond... [hands Dipper worriedly to the doctor]
Wander: And we just wanted to double check about why he's like this...
Doctor: [takes Dipper] Alright, let's see wat is wrong [gently wakes Dipper by patting his cheek] Wakey wakey, ol' doc needs to chk on u
Dipper: [whimpered n fussed a little as he stirred]
Wander: (fumbles with his hands a little, worried)
Hater: [had his hand on Wander's shoulder, was also worried but tried to be the strong one]
Doctor: [chk Dipper's vitals, did some sound tests, hushing Dipper wen he fussed in the process, looked into his ears with his medical instruments]
Wander: (waits nervously for the results)
Doctor: [finished his chking n turned to them, his expression a little concerned]
Hater: W-Wat's wrong with him, doc?
Doctor: I'm sorry... There's no easy way to say this but... ur son is deaf
Wander: :O
Hater: H-How is tht possible...?!
Doctor: [shows them a holographic 3D image of his scan on Dipper's head] U see here, where his ears are supposed to be? For Skeletors, there usually is some sort of miniscule cavity where the ear should be, just right beneath the horns tht serves as their hearing, bt Dipper doesn't hv it. It seems tht he was born with the cavity fused together, making him unable to hear sounds, n there is no cavity within the skull tht would help sound to travel into his brain, so essentially he's deaf
Wander: But...then how do we...?
Doctor: I'm afraid u will hv to get him started on learning sign languages at a young age, n use other means to help him communicate with u
Hater: Its just a hole, right? Can't u maybe do some sort of surgery, create a hole for him to hear?
Doctor: It's too delicate a procedure, n Skeletor ears don't just depend on the hole, it also depends on the nerve endings within the hole to help carry sound, bt in Dipper's case, he literally doesn't hv nerve endings either, n we can't create artificial ones without the risk of damaging his brain. I'm sorry, sir, bt there's nothing I can do...
Hater: [fell to his knees n sobbed] Oh gob...This... This is all my fault... I knew something like this would happen, something bad would rub off on ur babies... I... I failed u, Master... ;(
Wander: (hugs him) No, Hater, no...don't blame yourself...just don't... ;(
Doctor: I'm reli sorry... [passes Dipper to Hater]
Hater: [sobbed n hugged Dipper] I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I failed as a Breeder... It's my fault... It is... ;(
Wander: (also embraces Dipper) :(
Dipper: [whimpered seeing both his parents crying, n he couldn't hear them, so he couldn't understand why they were crying, n he too cried in frustration] Waaa~~~ ;(
Wander: (gives him kisses) It's okay, honey...(though he knew Dipper couldn't hear what he said)
Hater: [sobbed as he hugged Dipper close] Wat r we gonna do, Master?
Wander: We'll think of something...somehow... :(
Hater: [sniffled as he wiped his tears] Wat would ur mom think? She'll be so disappointed in me...
Wander: No she won't, Hater... :(
Hater: She's so looking forward to the litters, now one of them is a defect, she'll be so mad at me... :(
Wander: Trust me, Hater, she'll understand. This isn't your fault...
Hater: [bit his lip, not too convinced as he held Dipper close]
Wander: (embraces both of them)
Hater: L-Let's go home. Ur mom might be worried....
Wander: Yeah... (rubs Dipper's head gently)
Wander: (was feeding the pups) Not so hard, sweeties. Daddy's a little sore.
Hater: [comes in with snacks for Wander] Hey, Wander. How's the pups?

Peepers: (writes) Don't you usually order in or something?
Awesome: Why order in? We're not exactly staying here. We're planning on going to tht newly opened restaurant just ard the end of this town. Heard it's to die for

Ryder: If you're sure you're up for it.

Peepers: (writes down as much as he can to explain the whole thing)
Awesome: Wow, pretty cool. N u don't even need to do all the fancy things most boyfriends do
Ryder: You basically just did things in your own way.
Peepers: (nod)
Awesome: Tho I suppose I'm not exactly cool with u making Bee upset tho -_-
Peepers: (shirnks back)
Ryder: Dude, cut him some slack, will you?
Awesome: I'm just pulling ya, buddy. No need to be scared :D But seriously, make her upset again n I won't go easy on u -__-

Awesome: Well someone's being a pretty lucky stud, eh? :D Sweet
Peepers: ^////^
Awesome: So how was it? Mind blowing, eh? Eh? [ribbed the Watchdog teasingly]
Peepers: >///>
Ryder: :| Okay Awesome, that's enough.
Awesome: :D Oh don't be such a killjoy, Ryder. U knw u wanna knw too [sees their order coming] Ah, saved by the food
Peepers: :)
Waiter: [sets the food dwn for the three of them] Enjoy ur meal, sirs [walks off]
Ryder: (rubs hands together) Lokks good. :D
Peepers: ^^
Awesome: Hope it's as good as it's all cracked up to be
Peepers: (takes a few bites of his food) ... (heart)
Ryder: (chuckle) I think we got our answer.
Awesome: [tasted his food] Huh, it's actually pretty good. THe ratings did it justice, sorta
Ryder: (eats his food) Yeah, not bad. :)
Awesome: So did Bee say how long her mission is gonna take?
Peepers: (writes) She's hoping to do it as quick as she can.
Awesome: Knowing her, she probably might, bt the person she's dealing with sounds like sort of a big deal
Ryder: Hope she knows what she's doing, knowing how reckless she can be.
Awesome: Heh, yeah, she can be a pretty hothead sometimes (giggle)
Peepers: (writes) Still, hope she'll be alright.
Awesome: She'll be a-OK, so u better get ur ass in gear n get ur sign language learning coz ur gonna surprise her with ur awesome gadget n ur awesome sign language skillz
Peepers: (nod)
Awesome: Got anywhere u wanna go aftr we're done munching?
Peepers: (writes) Nothing in mind, really.
Awesome: Well, I guess its up to us to bring u sightseeing then, eh, Ryder?
Ryder: (nod) Pretty much.
Awesome: Take ur time, we've got a whole day ahead of us :D
Peepers: :) (figured maybe he'll like hanging with these guys after all)
Peepers: (answers it to see Ryder and Awesome)
Awesome: Yo, Peepers, rise and shine. Ur good ol buddies are here :D
Peepers: :^)
Ryder: Let him get used to us first, dude.
Awesome: Sorry, just a little stoked to be hanging out with a new friend, is all. Let's start over [held out his hand to shake] Howdy, Emperor Awesome at ur service
Peepers: (pauses...then slowly shakes Awesome's hand)
Awesome: [nudged Ryder to do the same]
Ryder: (also holds hand out) You can call me Ryder.
Peepers: (does the handshake with him too)
Awesome: Great, now tht we're introduced, wanna go grab a bite? Our treat
Peepers: (think)
Ryder: You don't have to answer right away, it's just a suggestion.
Awesome: Yeah, but it would be nice if u could come with us
Peepers: (writes) Don't you usually order in or something?
Awesome: Why order in? We're not exactly staying here. We're planning on going to tht newly opened restaurant just ard the end of this town. Heard it's to die for
Peepers: (writes) Perhaps I can try it as well.
Ryder: If you're sure you're up for it.
Awesome: I'm sure he is. N start getting used to using sign language there, bub. Ur gonna need it if u wanna use the gadget we ordered for u at the black market
Peepers: (shrugs) (nod)
Awesome: So, u in or not for breakfast? :D
Peepers: (writes) ...I'm in.
Ryder: :) Sweet.
Awesome: Right, let's go! [wrapped his arms ard Peepers' n led them all out]
Peepers: (still isn't sure, but follows after the two)
[the gang made their way to the said restaurant]
Awesome: Heya, table for 3
Waiter: Yes, sir [led them to a free table]
Ryder & Peepers: (follow Awesome & waiter to their table)
Waiter: [gives them the menus] Call me if ur ready
Awesome: Cool [browsed thru the menu]
Peepers: (looks through menu also)
Awesome: [decided on his food n called the waiter to order] U guys ready to order too?
Ryder: :) Yeah, good to go.
Peepers: (like)
Awesome: [ordered his food]
Waiter: [wrote it dwn]
Peepers: (pointed to a few items he'd like)
Ryder: (also gives his order)
Waiter: [writes them all dwn] We'll hv ur order shortly [leaves]
Awesome: [turns to Peepers] So, ur Bee's special boo, huh? Lucky guy. How'd u get her to be with u? (smirk)
Peepers: (writes down as much as he can to explain the whole thing)
Awesome: Wow, pretty cool. N u don't even need to do all the fancy things most boyfriends do
Ryder: You basically just did things in your own way.
Peepers: (nod)
Awesome: Tho I suppose I'm not exactly cool with u making Bee upset tho -_-
Peepers: (shirnks back)
Ryder: Dude, cut him some slack, will you?
Awesome: I'm just pulling ya, buddy. No need to be scared :D But seriously, make her upset again n I won't go easy on u -__-
Peepers: ^^;;
Awesome: U planning on going serious with her? Like wedding bells serious?
Peepers: (writes) Someday, but not too soon. We're trying to go slow.
Awesome: Smart move. So.... U guys "did it" already, huh? (smirk)
Peepers: (writes, flushing) More then once.
Ryder: Damn.
Awesome: Well someone's being a pretty lucky stud, eh? :D Sweet
Peepers: ^////^

[the odd couple made their way to plcs like amusement parks, gambling centres n the occasional shopping, n aftr a nice dinner at a restaurant, they were now at the nearby beach, just chilling at the bench watching the sunset with ice cream n crepes]
Sylvia: [nibbling at her crepes] Well, its been a fun day
Peepers: (licking a chocolate ice cream cone) ^^
Sylvia: I hope u enjoyed urself today
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Heh, usually a good time like this ends up with us being all hot n sweaty under the sheets [chuckled] Bt I knw ur not in a mood for tht...
Peepers: (shrugs)
Sylvia: ....Am I still... attractive to u?
Peepers: :o (surprised she'd ask that)
Sylvia: [noticed his facial expression] ....Sorry, I sound like some insecure girl but... I dunno, I know I said I won't force u to hv sex with me if u don't want to... But this is the only way of affection I know... So... U not interested in sex just...makes me feel... I dunno... Unattractive, I guess...?
Peepers: (pets her shoulder in attempt of comfort) :(
Sylvia: [just sighed] .....No matter. We've got plenty of time to figure that out. I gtg now. It's almost time [gets off the bench]
Peepers: (looks at her with concern but follows)
Sylvia: [takes Peepers' hand out of habit n made their way bk to their hotel]
Peepers: (squeezes her hand gently)
Sylvia: [squeezed it bk gently as well]
Peepers: :)
Sylvia: [was texting Ryder n Awesome to hv the manpower n materials ready for her at the docks as they soon approached their hotel n up their penthouse suite]
Peepers: :^) (still isn't sure of the idea of spedning time with Ryder and Awesome but will do it for Sylvia's sake)
Sylvia: [enters the penthouse suite n go ready] U will be in good hands, Pipsqueak, don't worry. I'll be bk before u know it, n u will like the guys. They're actually quite nice once u get to know them
Peepers: (gives her a hug)
Sylvia: [hugs him bk]
Peepers: :) (writes) Just be careful out there.
Sylvia: :) I always am. And... [hesitated]
Peepers: ?
Sylvia: [shook her head] Nvm, it's nothing serious. Cya soon, Pipsqueak [ruffled his head]
Peepers: (think) (shrugs it off) (wave)
Sylvia: Cya. The boys will be here tomorrow, so u three play nice~ (giggle) [waved goodbye n left]
Peepers: :) ... :( (hopes she'll be okay)
Sylvia: [made her way to the docks where the Fistfighters were waiting for her]
Fistfighters: (salute that they're ready to go)
Sylvia: [nodded n prepared the space craft]
Peepers: (watches from the window)
Sylvia: [once she got all the Fistfighters in the craft as well as the chemical drums, she took one last look at the direction of their hotel, made a small smile n got in, flying off into the horizon]
Peepers: :( (turns away, concerned for Sylvia hoping she can keep herself safe)
Sylvia: [nibbling at her crepes] Well, its been a fun day

Flesh of My Blood-Chp85
Sylvia: [made her way dwn to the cafe across the street n found her seat]
Ryder's voice: Sylvia, hey. :)
Sylvia: [turned at the voice] Yo, u guys made it
Awesome: Heh, of course. We've got a business to do now, don't we? :)
Ryder: (takes his seat) Yep, we do. Also, how'd it go with the eyeball?
Sylvia: Ehh, a little bit of drama, bt we're good
Awesome: Ah, the easily jealous type, eh? Still, too bad abt his childhood injury. Would've love to chat with him, get to know him better
Ryder: Has he thought on sign language? That could be a help for us to chat with him easily.
Sylvia: Wat? U understand sign language?
Ryder: Half and half.
Sylvia: Prolly good for business to know it, huh? Speaking of which, I was wondering if u ever heard abt this sign language translator gadget, u knw, the type u can wear on ur hand like a glove thingy?
Awesome: Oh, u mean the Nexus 360? The one going ard in the black market?
Ryder: You want us to pick that up while doing this mission?
Sylvia: Well yeah, I still need to get the Fistfighters n the chemical drums all set in place somehow, n Peepers cant exactly join me either since he's inexperienced, so yeah, I got him to study on sign language. While I'm gone, u can prolly help me hunt this thing dwn
Awesome: Sure, we could do tht. Too bad they sell this so damn expensive in the normal market that some hv to resort to buy them cheap in the black market tho
Ryder: (nod) (agrees)
Sylvia: Well, I'll leave it up to u then. U got the manpower n the stuff ready for me?
Ryder: :D We got the stuff.
Sylvia: Good. Umm... Guys, there's also another thing I'd like u guys to do me a favour with
Ryder: And that is...?
Sylvia: I want u guys to help me babysit Peepers
Awesome: Wait, wat? U want us to babysit ur boyfriend? Why?
Ryder: He's not exactly a Watchpup, though...?
Sylvia: Well, not reli "babysit" babysit, more like keep him company while I do my thing. This is my mission for Wander, n he's still a little wet behind the ears wen it comes to high stakes stuff like this. I'd rather he stay here n u guys hang out with him n help him out with his sign language studying
Ryder: And it's also to prevent him if he tries to...you know...do anything to himself...?
Sylvia: [blinked] How did u knw he tried to do something to himself? Were u spying on us?
Ryder: ^^;; No I was just guessing. And I could be guessing again if he's going through some sort of... (think) What do you call it, PTSD?
Sylvia: Yeah, it's kinda private for him. Let's just say he had a bit of a traumatic childhood growing up, tht's all I can say
Awesome: Right. So get the gadget n keep him occupied. I guess we can do tht. Wen r u heading off?
Sylvia: The sooner the better. Wander wants to marry the bonehead ASAP before his mom kicks the bucket n all, so yeah. I'll just let Peepers knw abt my plan n abt u guys n hopefully we'd be good to go
Ryder: (nod) Got it.
Sylvia: I'll text u wen I'm ready then. Glad ur being such a good sport abt all this
Awesome: Anything for our Bee, evn tho u just friend-zoned us XD
Sylvia: Oh u silly [smacked Awesome's shoulder playfully]
Ryder: |-( Dude. Seriously?
Awesome: Nothing wrong with a little tease
Sylvia: (giggle) Right, I better get going now. Look out for my text, OK?
Ryder: (like) Gotcha.
Sylvia: [made her bk to the hotel n up the penthouse suite, bt not before stopping by a pharmacy to get something, then takes a deep breath before she entered the suite] I'm bk
Peepers: (was working on making a sentence with his hands when he heard Sylvia) :)?
Sylvia: Hey, uh, I got something to talk to u bt first, I gotta go take a piss. Issat OK?
Peepers: (shrugs, nodding)
Sylvia: [goes to the bathroom, pulling out a box containing a pregnancy test kit, n did her thing, careful not to make too much sound opening the box so tht Peepers wouldn't hear]
Peepers: (was praticing more of his lessons)
Sylvia: [waited for the results, looked at it n it came out positive, sighed] (thinks: Ugh... Great...)
Peepers: (looked up when he heard Sylvia step out)
Sylvia: [sees Peepers n tried to smile nonchalantly] (think: No, I can't let him knw. Not wen he's like this. He's not ready to knw...) Hey, Pipsqueak. How's lessons?
Peepers: (like)
Sylvia: Cool. Uh, listen, I need to tell u something... [sat dwn nxt to him, looking a little uneasy]
Peepers: ?
Sylvia: [takes a deep breath] I'm going to go do Wander's mission now, bt I think its best if u stay here n concentrate on ur lessons n not follow me
Peepers: :( (grows a little worried)
Sylvia: It's gonna be OK, Pipsqueak. This is a dangerous mission, n ur not exactly trained for it yet. I don't want u to get hurt. Besides I've got Awesome's men n Ryder's materials to help me out. I'll be fine. It'll be done in a synch. Besides, I asked Awesome n Ryder to keep u company so u won't be lonely
Peepers: :^) (isn't sure about the idea)
Sylvia: It's alright. They're pretty nice ppl once u get to know them, n once I'm done with this mission, I'll come right bk. I promise
Peepers: (think) (takes one of her hands in his hand, kissing it gently)
Sylvia: :) Ur such a gentleman as always (giggle) [giggled as she leaned dwn to kiss his forehead] Oh, n I asked Awesome n Ryder to try locate the special gadget for u, so u be nice to them
Peepers: ... (nod)
Sylvia: Good. I'll leave sometime late this evening. So wat say we go out n hv so fun before I leave?
Peepers: (like)
Sylvia: ^^ Sweet. If ur ready, let's head out
Peepers: (looks at the lessons he did so far) (nod)
Sylvia: [takes his hand n led him out]
Peepers: (follows atfer her)

[the odd couple slept thru the night, tho Sylvia woke up earlier first in the morning feeling peckish n order room service for breakfast]
Peepers: (was still fast asleep)
Sylvia: [lets him sleep as she went to the verandah to enjoy her breakfast]
Peepers: |-)
Sylvia: [read the morning paper while she ate, making sure to save some food for Peepers while she finished the rest, which was a pretty heavy set breakfast]
Peepers: (slowly sat up from the smell of breakfast) (yawn) ...
Sylvia: [continued reading the paper, didn't hear him as she was at the verandah]
Peepers: (enters) (yawn)
Sylvia: [sees him] Oh hey, Pipsqueak
Peepers: :) (sees what she left him for breakfast)
[it was the typical eggs and bacon and sides, the Earth style breakfast, with orange juice, at the portion Peepers liked]
Peepers: ^^ (sits next to Sylvia to have a bite)
Sylvia: U slept well, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Good, coz it'll be another long day today. I'm gonna meet up with Awesome n Ryder to get my stuff for Wander's mission

Sylvia: [sighed n ruffled his head] Good, coz I'm not in a mood for drama right now, OK? I care abt u, n I don't want either of us to get hurt
Peepers: (like) (then wrote on his tablet) Will you be okay, though?
Sylvia: Yeah, I'll be fine. Like I said, prolly over-exterted myself wen I was chasing aftr u on a full stomach. Hv u got started on learning sign languages yet?
Peepers: (shake) (shakes his head no)
Sylvia: |-( I should've known. C'mere, gimme ur tablet [takes his tablet n scrolled thru the app store, then clicked some buttons n downloaded something into the tablet before passing it to him] Here. I got u a sign language course app tht u can learn frm. U better sit my meeting out n stay here n study up on ur sign language. I'll ask Awesome or Ryder if they can score me tht sign language translating gadget thingy frm the black market
Peepers: (nod) (hugs her to say 'thanks')
Sylvia: :) Yeah, yeah, don't get all sappy on me now, Pipsqueak [hugged him bk n patted him on the head] I'm gonna make the call to the guys now. U gonna be OK?
Peepers: (nod) (gets busy with the app)
Sylvia: Good [got out her phone n made the calls, leaving him to it]
Peepers: (focuses on his app)
Sylvia: [finished the call] ... Alright. Cya in 20mins [hung up] Hey, Pipsqueak. I'm gonna get ready for the meeting. I'll be just across the street at that cafe over there. If u need me, just text me, OK?
Peepers: (like)

Peepers: (nod) (hugs her to say 'thanks')
Sylvia: :) Yeah, yeah, don't get all sappy on me now, Pipsqueak [hugged him bk n patted him on the head] I'm gonna make the call to the guys now. U gonna be OK?
Peepers: (nod) (gets busy with the app)
Sylvia: Good [got out her phone n made the calls, leaving him to it]
Peepers: (focuses on his app)
Sylvia: [finished the call] ... Alright. Cya in 20mins [hung up] Hey, Pipsqueak. I'm gonna get ready for the meeting. I'll be just across the street at that cafe over there. If u need me, just text me, OK?
Peepers: (like)
Sylvia: Cool [made her way to the bedroom to get ready]
Peepers: :) (focuses on the lessons)
Sylvia: [came out aftr 10 mins] Cya later, Pipsqueak [ruffled his head n left the suite]
Peepers: (wave)

Sylvia: [once they reached their hotel n the penthouse suite, she let him go n made her way to the bathroom to draw up a bath, closing n locking the door behind her, wanting time for herself]
Peepers: (sits on the bed, thinking to himself for the time being)
[his phone buzzed, an incoming text]
Peepers: ? (looks to see who's texting him)
[it was Hater]
Hater: Hey, Peeps. Long time no chat. How's it hanging there?
Peepers: (texts back) We've...had kinda a rough moment.
Hater: [text] Uh-oh. How rough r we talking abt here?
Peepers: (texts) It's kinda personal. But what about you?
Hater: [text] I'm good. Wander n the pups r asleep, so I'm just getting myself a midnight snack n enjoying a little me-time. Personal? Peeps, we're pretty much BFFs by now. U knw u can tell me anything
Peepers: (texts) Well...saw her with those guy friends of hers and I...almost...
Hater: [text] Flipped out? Do something stupid? -_-
Peepers: (texts) Something stupid...almost taking my life...:(
Hater: [text] :O Peepers~!
Peepers: (texts) I know, I know! It was stupid to do!
Hater: [text] Why would u wanna do tht? Even I know that zbornak wouldn't be tht dumb leave u hanging if she's not interested
Peepers: (texts) But I'm okay, I didn't do the deed. Though, Sylvia doesn't seem to be looking so good.
Hater: [text] Oh? Wats up with her?
Peepers: (texts) She must've eaten something bad cause she's puked a bit.
Hater: [text] Huh, I see. U sure it's not...?
Peepers: (texts) Not...what?
Hater: [text] I dunno. I mean, u guys did it, right? Did either of u use protection?
Peepers: (texts) I...can't really recall...so much has been going on with us.
Hater: [text] She at least uses birth control, right?
Peepers: (texts) With a needle, yes.
Hater: [text] Oh well, guess maybe she's got some stomach bug going on then
Peepers: (texts) Who knows.
Hater: [text] I know u've been thru a lot as a kid, bt just pls try to control urself, or get some help with dealing with ur emotions. Don't let it make u push her away
Peepers: (texts) You think I should get a therapist?
Hater: [text] Maybe. I'm not saying that to be patronizing. Just so u can keep urself in n learn to deal with ur emotions. I can see u got a lot to handle
Peepers: (texts) I hope it can help me out, too.
Hater: [text] Well, I'm just texting to see if ur alright. Hope Sylvia's mission works out
Peepers: (texts) I hope so too. And thanks.
Hater: [text] No probs. Cya soon ;) [ends his text]
Peepers: (texts) Cya. (also ends text)
Sylvia: [finally comes out of the bathroom, all clean n dried, still silent]
Peepers: (glances at her then looks away) (worry)
Sylvia: [sighed n plopped down onto the couch next to him, turning on the TV n flipped thru the channel, then settled on a reality show, but not exactly watching, just staring at it with a deadpan expression]
Peepers: :( (begins writing on his tablet and holds it up to her to see)
Sylvia: [still just staring at the screen, not reli watching the show, n not reli paying attention to her surroundings either]
Peepers: (gently taps her shoulder)
Sylvia: [flinched a little, but turned to him quietly]
Peepers: (holds up his tablet)
Tablet: I'm sorry for almost doing something really stupid...if it helps, I will consider getting a therapist to help with my problems and emotions.
Sylvia: [reads thru his msg, then looked away a bit] Yeah... U definitely hv a lot of baggage...
Peepers: :(
Sylvia: [takes a deep breath n sighed out loud] Man~ This silent treatment sucks! I'm RELI not good at sulking =_=
Peepers: (hesitated to place his hand on Sylvia's)
Sylvia: [felt it bt doesn't shove it away, then just stared at Peepers for a while n sighed again] Look, I'm glad u realized wat u just did n ur gonna get help for it. Just... don't do tht again anymore, OK? U worry me sometimes, u knw tht?
Peepers: (glanced up at her, almost hopeful if she meant it)
Sylvia: And uh... Pipsqueak...?
Peepers: ?
Sylvia: [hesitated a bit, as if wanting to say something, bt shook her head n ruffled his head instead] Nvm. Its not important. I just hope u learnt ur lesson n get the help u need, OK?
Peepers: ...(nod)
Sylvia: N don't worry abt me. I must've ate too much just now, n then running aftr u to chase aftr u just made my stomach upset [folded her arms]
Peepers: (leans gently against her) ... (yawn)
Sylvia: [sees him yawn n yawned as well] Its been a long night. Lets hit the sack
Peepers: (nods sleepily)
Sylvia: [turns off the TV n takes Peepers' hand, making their way to the bed]
Peepers: (follows her, rubbing his eye) (tired)
Sylvia: [chuckled n shook her head as she helped him up the bed, then climbed in n settled under the covers]
Peepers: (snuggles under his covers) (tired) ... |-)
Sylvia: (yawn) [curled up in her covers, looked thoughtful for a moment, then sighed n closed her eyes n fell asleep] |-)

(Peepers was nowhere to be found, no matter where Sylvia looked)
Sylvia: Pipsqueak? Pipsqueak!! Peepers, where r u?! [ran all the way out of the rally building to find him]
(in an alley)
Peepers: ;( (has written on his tablet I'll see you soon, Mother... and unpacked a swish knife, pulling out a blade and trembled, holding it to his neck)
Sylvia: [had a feeling abt the alley n made her way there, just in time to see Peepers unsheathed his knife] PEEPERS, NO!! [runs up to him, smacks the knife out of his hand n backhands his cheek] WTF DO U THINK UR DOING?!
Peepers: :o (backed away from her, both angry and nervous)
Sylvia: Wat do u think ur doing?! [kicks the knife aside, sending it skidding away] U trying to kill urself over wat u saw just now?! Isn't it?! Gob!! Ur such a girl sometimes!! U jump into conclusions worse than one!!
Peepers: (clenched his fists only to end up putting his face in his hands) ;(
Sylvia: Gob! I was just trying to negotiate business with my friends, n I just told them tht they're being friendzoned bcoz I was thinking of going serious with u! It was just a friendly kiss for good luck, for old times sake! We used to sleep together, u can't expect me not to hv some sort of lingering feelings for them a little. I did tht for closure! So tht I could be with u! Gob dammit! Why do I always hv to be the one to explain myself like some fucking cheating bf?! [suddenly felt a little nauseous n turned aside to puke on the alley floor]
Peepers: (looked up) :o (rushed over to her)
Sylvia: [pushed him away] Get lost! (cough cough cough) U wanna die so much, go right ahead! I'm sick of ur drama! [sobbed a little as tears came dwn a little while she puked the last of it, then slowly walks away out of the alley, sniffling] ;(
Peepers: :( (frowns and runs after her, gripping her hand not wanting her to leave)
Sylvia: [pulls her hand away harshly, bt doesn't push him away either, just didn't want to look at him as she just stood there, bk facing him, not wanting to let him see her cry]
Peepers: (stands there for a moment, slowly walking up to her again and just hugs her, bracing for a shove or slap)
Sylvia: [breath hitched at the hug, doesn't shove him or hit him, bt doesn't hug him bk either, just letting him do his thing as she quietly sniffles]
Peepers: :( (continues to hug her)
Sylvia: [just let him hug her for a long while, then slowly pries him off, held his hand n walked the rest of the way bk to their hotel, not saying a word]
Peepers: (walks silently along next to her)
Sylvia: Pipsqueak? Pipsqueak!! Peepers, where r u?! [ran all the way out of the rally building to find him]

[Sylvia n the guys made their way to a lobby lounge to talk business]
Ryder: So what's up, Syl?
Sylvia: Well, it's this... [tells them abt Wander n Hater n abt the slave trade n abt the slave boss n his demands] ...So yeah, I was wondering if either of u can loan me a bit of manpower to stage a sort of "accident" to assassinate the bastard
Awesome: Well, I'm low on weaponry supply atm bt I could loan u some of my Fistfighters
Ryder: ;) You can count on me too.
Awesome: Wat type of "accident" r u thinking of giving that guy anyways?
Sylvia: Well, something tht doesn't lead bk to us n no one will question tht it's an accident would be good
Awesome: Hey, Ryder. Didn't u hv a bunch of chemicals kept in ur hidden warehouse tht u don't need anymore?
Ryder: Yeah, I still have a few of those left.
Awesome: Maybe if u could stash them somewhere underneath the office building, let it leak ard, n maybe the chemical might cause an explosion or something
Sylvia: But wouldn't the feds be suspicious of weird chemicals underneath a slave trade building?
Awesome: Those chemicals r contraband stuff, illegal in the market n only available sold in black markets, n a seedy organization like tht, ppl wouldn't be surprised if they were doing side businesses selling contraband stuff like tht. They'll just think it's faulty storage or whatever
Ryder: (nod)
Awesome: Although u need to help with faking some paperwork that shows the slave trade office sell those stuff
Sylvia: Can u help out with tht, Ryder?
Ryder: (like) Sure can.
Sylvia: I also called u guys for something else...
Ryder: ? About what?
Sylvia: I'm thinking... Well, it's time I give up our fling with each other n just be friends now
Awesome: Ah, does it hv anything to do with the little eye ball guy ur with? (smirk)
Ryder: (blinked in surprise) ...It's cool, Sylvia.
Sylvia: Huh? Reli? Ur not mad?
Ryder: Well, I dunno about Fish Face but I kinda had someone in mind for a long while anyhow, so it's cool if you got someone you'd like to spend your life with.
Sylvia: :O You, Ryder? Settling dwn with someone? Wow, who'd hv thunk!
Awesome: Who's the lucky gal? Or guy?
Ryder: Guy. ^//^;; And I haven't really seen him for a long while, so... you guys remember when you left me on that moon planet as a prank for a week straight?
Awesome: Hah! Do I? Tht was a total hoot! U were stone drunk n we couldn't wake u, so we thought "Meh, just dump u there till u sober off for fun"
Sylvia: We didn't mean to leave u there for a week. It was supposed to a day or two. Wait, that's where u met the guy?
Ryder: Yeah, big fella. Goes by the name Frederick. He just came up to me with the whole 'talk about your feelings' and we began bonding from there till you guys finally came back for me.
Sylvia: Ooh, u sly bastard u [punched him on the shoulder] Why didn't u tell us abt him?
Awesome: So who's the bitch? U or him? :D
Ryder: (doh) Well, we haven't gone to that stage. Not yet, that is.
Awesome: Ah well, guess I'll be forever alone then
Sylvia: Stop tht, Fish Face. I'm sure u will find someone to settle dwn with
Awesome: Ain't no one I'm settling dwn with. Ur looking at a true blue party boy (smirk)
Ryder: |-( And then one of these days, you'll end up being given news of being a dad from a random broad.
Awesome: Hey, I use protection. We've been doing it with Bee for so long, don't see her complaining abt being knocked up
Sylvia: That's coz I myself take birth control jabs as well, u dum-dum |-( Although... [the mention of birth control seemed to hv stirred something in her mind]
Ryder: -__- Whatever you say, dude. (sees Sylvia's expression) Syl? You okay there?
Sylvia: [snapped out of it] Huh? Oh, uh, nothing. Just got sidetracked. So we all good? Still friends?
Awesome: Of course we're still friends. But if u ever get tired of tht eyeball, I'm only a video call away ;)
Ryder: (punches Awesome's shoulder) Don't be so full of yourself.
Awesome: (doh) Geez, cut it out, boobhead!
Sylvia: :D U guys r hilarious. Kiss for old times sake [leans in to kiss both Awesome n Ryder's cheek]
Ryder: (flushes a little) Heh.
Awesome: Heh, ur gonna be alright with the eyeball. He's lucky to hv u
Sylvia: Heheh, oh u tease, I... [look out for a moment to see Peepers was behind a pillar dwn the hall looking at them with a hurt expression on his face] Ah crap...
Peepers: (had seen the kisses, backed up and rushed off)
Ryder: :O Oh glarp.
Sylvia: I, uh... I gtg. I'll let u know wen I need the stuff, OK? [runs off without waiting for a reply]
Awesome: [sighed] Guess we'll just hv to continue watching the rally without her then :|

[the group got on Awesome's car n made their way to where the monster truck rally is]
Peepers: (cringes at the loud noises) >_<
Awesome: Woohoo! Now that's wat I call a monster truck rally!
Sylvia: This is crazy amazing! So many ppl here!!
Ryder: :D This is gonna be sweet!
[they found their seats n soon was enjoying themselves watching monster trucks destroying cars n each other like crazy]
Peepers: >_<
Sylvia: Woohoo!!! :D
Awesome: Yeah~~!! Smash those motherfuckers!!! XD
Ryder: :D Right in the kisser!!
Peepers: (watching a little bit, placing his hand on Sylvia's)
Sylvia: [felt the touch n unconsciously squeezed him bk, tho her attention is still focused on hollering at the wreckage]
Ryder: (watches yet another crash) (doh) That's gonna smart in the morning!
Awesome: Ooh yeah! I got money pitted on tht one to be the last one standing
Sylvia: Oh yeah? Well they hv to fight against the one I bet on :D
Ryder: Bring it! XD
Peepers: ^^;;
[soon it was time for a intermission break where the trucks get towed off for minor repairs n for the spectators to get snacks]
Sylvia: Let's head off to the canteen, I'm parched, n I think I might want something to munch on
Peepers: (nod)
Ryder: Me too.
[the group made their way to the canteen]
Peepers: (looking around) :)
Sylvia: Gosh, I'm starved. Wat should I get? [looked at the menu at the counter]
Peepers: (looks at menu too)
Ryder: Hmm...
Awesome: I'm definitely gonna get me that [pointed at some kelp cakes] n a big mug of beer!
Sylvia: I think I'll get the large pizza, with the triple cheese toppings n a fizzy orange. Wat do u want, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (points to the burrito section)
Sylvia: [sees the food he wants] OK, got it. Wat r u getting, Ryder?
Ryder: Perhaps a double burger and coke for me.
Peepers: (also points to the juice section of the menu)
Sylvia: (nod) I'll make the order, u guys go find a seat
Awesome: Ah, ah, it wouldn't be nice of me to let u carry all the food. I'll stay with u
Sylvia: (giggle) Suit urself, Fish Face
Peepers: :^) (doesn't like the idea)
Ryder: I guess I'm with the eyeball then.
Peepers: (scowls at Awesome)
Sylvia: [rolled her eyes n made the order]
Awesome: [stood nxt to her, arm ard her shoulder as he chatted with her]
Peepers: (glared some more)
Ryder: Come on, little dude. (leads Peepers away to find them a seat)
[as Ryder n Peepers found their seats, frm their angle, Awesome n Sylvia looked pretty chummy with each other as they talked n giggle with Awesome's arm ard her]
Peepers: (unamused)
Ryder: (sitting across from him)
[few mins later, they returned with the orders]
Awesome: Here ya go! Food galore~!
Sylvia: Great, I'm literally starving right now [sat dwn n licked her lips]
Peepers: (quickly scoots next to Sylvia, huffing at Awesome)
Awesome: [raise a brow, bt shrugged n started eating]
Sylvia: [ruffled Peepers' head humorously before digging in, making small chatter with the guys]
Peepers: (envy) (digs into his food, keeping an eye on Awesome)
Ryder: (also eating his food)

Awesome: We still got 15 mins before the show starts. I think we've got time to discuss business
Sylvia: Yeah, bt maybe not here. Somewhere private
Peepers: :^)
Ryder: Heh, Awesome, I think someone here is trying to compete with you. (smirk)
Awesome: Hah, ur a decade too early or a decade too late, buddy. So shall we?
Sylvia: Yeah. Umm, u don't mind if u wait for us at the audience seat, right, Pipsqueak? It won't take too long

Sylvia: Thanks. Let's go, guys
Awesome: [got up n went with Sylvia, but not before giving Peepers a cheeky wink n a smirk] ;) ... (smirk)
Peepers: (envy)

Sylvia: [just got out from doing a full body spa wen her cellphone rang] Hello?
Wander's voice: Hey, Syl. How are you and Peepers doing?
Sylvia: Oh hey, buddy. U know, just chilling. We're at Planet Vegas now, was supposed to enlist Ryder n Awesome's help, but we're taking our time. I hope ur doing OK while we're gone
Wander: Doing just fine, looking after the kids and all.
Sylvia: Cool, cool, just hope ur doing alright. I'll be meeting up with Ryder and Awesome tonight at some monster truck rally, so we can talk business

Peepers: (pointed to a row of army knives from one seller stand)
Sylvia: Oh, ur interested in tht?
Peepers: (writes) In case you're not around to help defend me.
Sylvia: Sounds like a fair point. Always be prepared to fend for urself, as I always say. U gonna buy that then?
Peepers: (writes) Dumb to say, but I hope I have enough for one.
Sylvia: C'mon, we won plenty from last night's Jackpot. I'm sure u got enough to get the whole set
Peepers: (nod) (turns to the seller)
Seller: Yes, can I help u, sir?
Peepers: (points to the row of army knives with dark red handles)
Seller: Ah, the Titanium Reds. U interested in that? That'll be 3,500 space credits for the whole set
Peepers: (counts out the money he had with him)
Sylvia: [whispered] Got enough?
Peepers: (sees he's only a few dollars short)
Sylvia: [forks out the balance difference] Here, a few dollars for u
Peepers: :) (hands the money to the seller)
Seller: [counts the money] Good. Do u need me to wrap it up for u, sir?
Peepers: (nod)
Seller: [does so, wrapping up the army knives set, then hands it to Peepers] Here u go, sir
Sylvia: Hmm, pretty sweet deal there, Pipsqueak
Peepers: (takes the package) :)
Sylvia: [walks with Peepers out of the store, then remembered] Oh, I almost forgot. We gotta get ready for the monster truck rally. Ryder n Awesome are gonna come pick us up in abt one and a half hours
Peepers: (raises eyebrow at mention of Awesome and Ryder) :^)
Sylvia: Oh c'mon, it's just a monster truck rally. N I need their help to do this mission of mine for Wander, remember? It's just business
Peepers: (writes) If you say so.
Sylvia: Cool. C'mon, lets get ready [takes his hand n made their way to the penthouse to get ready before they waited out at the lobby for the two guys to show up]
Peepers: (waits with her)

[once in the penthouse suite...]
Sylvia: [dug out the menu frm the minibar counter n rang up reception]
Peepers: (was looking through channels to find them a movie to watch)
Receptionist: Yes, how can I help you?
Sylvia: Hi, I'm calling for room service up in the penthouse suite
Peepers: :)
Receptionist: Yes, ma'am. :) Do you know what you'd like to order?
Sylvia: Let's see... [browsed thru the menu, then turns to Peepers] Wat would u like to order first, Peepers?
Peepers: (looks at menu and points to a few things he'd like)
Sylvia: [nodded n made the order for him] ...as for me, I'd like... [read thru the menu n ordered wat she wanted]
Receptionist: We'll have it your order ready as soon as we can, ma'am. (nod)
Sylvia: Take ur time. We ain't going anywhere. Thanks [hung up] All done. Now we just need to wait. Watcha watching?
Peepers: (has up a list of movies they should choose from to watch)
Sylvia: [looked thru them] All of them look kinda interesting. I've picked the food. U pick the entertainment
Peepers: (nod) (picks an action movie)
Sylvia: Ooh, "Dawn of the Nebula Sun"? That sounds interesting [scooted closer to Peepers unconsciously to watch the movie with him]
Peepers: (flushes but doesn't mind her sitting this close)
Sylvia: [LOL-ed at the comedic opening of the movie] (rofl)
Peepers: (giggle)
[15mins into the movie, the doorbell of their penthouse suite rang]
Peepers: (looks at Sylvia, as if asking if he should get it)
Sylvia: Don't worry. I'll get it [gets up n answers the door, seeing the bellboy with a trolley of food] Ooh~ Our room service, I presume? :)
Bellboy: :) Yes, ma'am.
Sylvia: [opens the door wider to let him in] Abt time. Food's here, Pipsqueak!
Peepers: :D
Bellboy: (enters room)
Sylvia: [let the bellboy do his thing to serve the food on the table]
Bellboy: (finishes what he does and tells how much the order was)
Sylvia: [takes out one stack of bills, counted them to match the bill price, then added a few notes as tips] Here ya go, kiddo. Enjoy urself
Bellboy: (nod) Thank you, ma'am. (leaves them to their meal)
Sylvia: Alright! Food, chk! Movie, chk! Let's get this party started [plopped dwn to start choosing her first food to eat]
Peepers: :) (does the same)
[the odd couple enjoyed their food and a couple of other movies, n by the time they were done with the food, Peepers was already sitting on Sylvia's lap watching a sort of action/romance movie]
Peepers: :) (nuzzles against Sylvia)
Sylvia: [nuzzled bk at him without realizing it, then takes a sip of the champagne she ordered] Mmm, posh stuff. U want some?
Peepers: (looks then slowly nods)
Sylvia: [poured a glass for him] Here ya go. Cheers (cheers)
Peepers: (cheers) (sips his drink)
Sylvia: [sipped her drink as well, putting one arm ard Peepers in a half hug]
Peepers: (hugs her arm, nuzzling it and also giving a few kisses)
Sylvia: [giggled at the kisses] Hey, that's ticklish (giggle)
Peepers: ^^
Sylvia: [a short silence later] ...So, uh... Peepers?
Peepers: (glances at her) ?
Sylvia: I don't get it... Why me? U could've met any other husky girl that has the same features n characteristics as me... Even during our travels of conquering, u could've met anyone else. So why me?
Peepers: (writes) Something about you just really gets me...
Sylvia: Which is...?
Peepers: (writes) Well, eyes like yours are one weakness.
Sylvia: My eyes? :|
Peepers: ^^;; (writes) It's what Watchdog's are attracted to most aren't they? (quickly adds) But there's more to you then that.
Sylvia: [remembered the few times some Watchdogs minions of hers mentioned abt some gals they like n commenting abt their eyes] Oh yeah, I guess so... But my eyes? Reli? I look like a puff fish on a good day =3=
Peepers: (writes) Do not. =3=
Sylvia: Do too ;p
Peepers: (pouts then gives her his surprise kiss) :P
Sylvia: :O [chuckled as she punched his shoulder lightly] Ur pretty cheeky wen u want to, aren't u, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: ^_^
Sylvia: [takes another sip of champagne, then leans in to give him a longer kiss before pulling away] So... U wanna... Do something more than just iFlix n chill? Heheh...
Peepers: (flushes a little)
Sylvia: [blinked] Crap, I'm doing it again, aren't I? -__-
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [sighed long n hard] Look, I'm not reli good at this lovey-dovey stuff. I mean I've always been the "Wham bam thank you ma'am" type of person, n I've always been the type tht uses my body to express myself. I don't know how to do it any other way... I'm sorry... :(
Peepers: (pets the side of her face in a comforting way) :(
Sylvia: Maybe it would've been better if... Well, if u had found someone else, if u prefer someone who goes slow, coz it's just not me, n I can't reli change the way I am... :(
Peepers: (writes) Why would I want anyone else when I have you?
Sylvia: [smiled at tht n ruffled his head] Ur such a sweet talker, evn tho u can't talk
Peepers: :)
Sylvia: Look, I'm always gonna offer sex, tht's just the way I am. But its up to u if u wanna do it or not. I won't force u if ur not in the mood, OK? So don't feel pressured to perform or anything. I may the type of girl but I'm not THAT type of girl, u knw?
Peepers: (nods in understanding)
Sylvia: So... u wanna? Or u wanna just chill n watch movies while pigging out with the rest of the food? (giggle)
Peepers: (cuddles against her, pointing to the screen)
Sylvia: Cool [noms some more food as they sat comfortably together n continued watching movies]
Peepers: :)
[the odd couple continued watching movies n pigged out until they literally fell asleep in each other's arms on the big sofa couch till morning]
Peepers: |-)
Sylvia: |-)
Peepers: (nuzzles his face into her belly) ^^/|-)

Sylvia: So wat shall we try first?
Peepers: (looks around)
Sylvia: Ooh, let's go for the classic Space Jacks
Peepers: :D
Sylvia: After tht we should give Roulette n Jackpot a go as well
Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: Come on, come on... [the jackpot came out a dud again] Ahh man! How're u doing over there, Pipsqueak?

Sylvia: Slow dwn there, Pipsqueak, ur gonna use up all ur tokens at this rate
Peepers: (blinked turning to her and tries his best to slow it down)
Sylvia: (giggle) [continued watching him play, but dwn to his last token, he still didn't win anything]
Peepers: (doh)
Sylvia: [finds a last token in her pouch n kisses it before handing it to Peepers] Here, last one. All or nothing
Peepers: :) (uses the token)
Sylvia: [watches the jackpot roll] Come on, come on, come on...

Sylvia: Woohoo~!! Jackpot!! :D
[The machine started to overflow as it spit out the winning tokens]
Sylvia: Quick! Use ur bucket to grab them! [grabbed her own bucket from her stand n started collecting the tokens]
Peepers: (grabs his bucket doing the same)
Sylvia: [shoveled all the tokens on her side into her bucket, having to kick aside some ppl who decided to be grabby hands n sneak away their tokens]
Peepers: (scoops up his tokens, giving quick kicks to any who tried to steal)
Sylvia: [stands up quickly with her bucket] U got em, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (nod)

Cashier: Will do [takes the buckets n starts pouring it into the token counter machine]
Sylvia: Hope we got it big [rubbed her hands in anticipation]

Cashier: [done cashing the tokens n gave them stacks of bills] Congrats, u guys. U've hit the jackpot of 2 million space credits
Sylvia: Alright~! Wat a haul! [almost literally hugged the stack of bills as she collects them]
Peepers: XD
Sylvia: [takes one of the stack of bills] Here, Pipsqueak, go buy a bag so we can fill these in
Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [check the mini bar n the closets]
Peepers: (pulls out from under bed and sneezes) >< (searches the pillows and blankets)
[the odd couple did their treasure hunt for abt an hour before they rendezvous in the living room with their stash]
Sylvia: [held a bundle of stuff in her arms] Alright, lets see wat u got, Pipsqueak
Peepers: (had a small bundle of objects himself)
Sylvia: Show me wat u got [gestured him to lay the things on the coffee table]
Peepers: (lays what he found on the table; two old ballet tickets, a silver wristband, golden pocket watch and 5 dollar bill)
Sylvia: Ooh, nice [lays her stash; abt a dozen coins, a few condom wrappers, a few candy wrappers n some half-eaten candies n gum, n a mini-vibrator]
Peepers: (raised a brow at the condoms)
Sylvia: [shrugged] Don't look at me, I found 'em as it is. It IS a hotel aftr all
Peepers: :^) (shrugs)
Sylvia: Phew! I'm beat. I'm gonna need me a shower, or a nice soak. I found a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Wanna join me? ;)
Peepers: o///o (simply nods without second thought)
Sylvia: Wait... (facepalm) I did it again, didn't I? I initiated something I shouldn't. We were supposed to take it slow
Peepers: ^///^;;; (rubbed the back of his head)
Sylvia: Well, I won't force u. It's up to u if u wanna join me or not. I'm sorry for imposing [walks off to the bathroom]
Peepers: (thinks for a moment... then follows her)
Sylvia: [noticed he was behind her wen she was started filling the tub] Oh, ur here. U, uh... Ur sure?
Peepers: (flushes but nods)
Sylvia: OK, it's ur call [put some scented bath oils into the Jacuzzi] Mmm~ Rose n cinnamon
Peepers: (smells it also) ^^
Sylvia: [once the tub is full, slowly steps into it] Ahh~ Come in, the water is fine
Peepers: (undresses and steps in himself) ^^~~
Sylvia: [leans bk n enjoyed the bubbling water in the tub massaging her bk] Ahh~~ This is the life
Peepers: =w= (sinks under the water)
Sylvia: Wander hopes tht one day, wen he retires frm conquering, he will hv collected enough fortune to set himself for life, so tht he can settle with his soulmate on a planet to rule of his choosing
Peepers: (pops up) :)?
Sylvia: [blinked] Oh, I didn't know u went under. I said... [repeated wat she just said]
Peepers: (listens) (nod)
Sylvia: Yeah, let's just hope tht Pretty Boy Brad doesn't go n ruin everything
Peepers: :^)
Sylvia: I assume u heard abt Brad Starlight
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Yeah, well, u didn't hear it from me, but Brad n Wander used to be lovers for a while
Peepers: :o
Sylvia: Yeah, technically it wasn't serious. Wander was faking it for the sake of getting him to leave Demurra alone. U see, Pretty Boy there has a serious case of infatuation for this Princess Demurra coz they used to be childhood sweethearts. She got over him, he didn't, n he was reli cramping her style, especially since she's fallen in love with Draykor, some kind of dragon overlord
Peepers: (listens closely)
Sylvia: So one day wen we tried to conquer their planet, she asked Wander to do her a favour n get rid of Brad in exchange for not conquering their planet. Killing him was a waste of breath, so we tried the nxt best thing: Wander tries to seduce him to get him over Demurra. Wander being the cute tiny overlord sorta won him over, n they had a thing for a while, also hit home run there. I guess Wander tried his best to be bottom for him but he couldn't go thru with it n blurted out the truth. Brad was upset that Demurra would do tht to him, but not as upset as he was with Wander for playing with his feelings. They've been bitter rivals ever since
Peepers: (nods in understanding)
Sylvia: Thing is I think Pretty Boy Brad might still hv a thing for him, n maybe Wander still hv some itty-bitty lingering thoughts of him, both of them r just too stubborn to resolve this
Peepers: (shrugs)
Sylvia: [sighed] Ah well, we'll just hv to let nature take its course n see how things go then
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [slowly scoots closer towards Peepers, closing her eyes n enjoying the bubbles massaging her body]
Peepers: =w= (sunk under the water again)
Sylvia: [chuckled n joined him, going under the water along with him, leaning her long neck out to kiss Peepers on the forehead]
Peepers: o///o (pops back up)
Sylvia: [popped bk up n chuckled] Hehe ur so easy to tease (giggle)
Peepers: (pouts then rubs at his eye) ><
Sylvia: Soap got in ur eye, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (nods, then waits till she got close enough for him to give her a surprise kiss of his own) :P
Sylvia: :O U little minx [giggled as she gave him a tickle attack]
Peepers: o.o (squirms as she tickled him) (rofl)
Sylvia: [laughed as she continued tickling, spluttering a little coz of Peepers splashing abt]
Peepers: (giggle) (tries to tickle her back)
Sylvia: :D [laughed as she felt the tickles, squirming until Peepers was straddling on top of her]
Peepers: ^^ (gives a 'I win' look)
Sylvia: (smirk) [leans in to give him a gentle peck on the lips]
Peepers: (kisses back)
Sylvia: [leaned her forehead against Peepers'] We're not reli good at this "taking things slow" thing, are we? [chuckled]
Peepers: ^^;; (shrugs sheepishly)
Sylvia: We might as well go ahead n just make us official, like reli official (giggle)
Peepers: (flushes)
Sylvia: I'm just playing with ya. There's still plenty of time to decide on tht, well, unless u reli want us to be official
Peepers: (shrugs again with his hands)
Sylvia: [rolled her eyes in amusement] We reli need to get u tht gadget I was talking abt, n u need to get started on learning sign language. I'd like to actually "talk" to u without needing to guess ur hand gestures n facial expressions (giggle)
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Well, since we're in Planet Vegas, wanna test our luck n go for some gambling? We can start small n try this hotel's casino
Peepers: (like)
Sylvia: [approaches the reception desk] Hi, checking in under the name Ryder. We're best buds, said to put it on his tab
Receptionist: (checks and gives her the room key) Enjoy your stay. :)
Sylvia: Thanks ^^ [takes the key] Let's go, Pipsqueak
Peepers: :) (follows atfer her)
[they made their way to the floor designated by the key number, n it turned out to be the penthouse suite]
Sylvia: Ooh sweet~ Guess it pays to hv friends with benefits
Peepers: :o (looked impressed)
Sylvia: Up for a treasure hunt or a bed-bouncing? [grinned mischievously]
Peepers: (holds up one finger for first option)
Sylvia: Treasure hunt it is ;) [starts rummaging in btwn couch corners n opening cupboards]
Peepers: (looking under the beds)
Sylvia: [check the mini bar n the closets]
Peepers: (pulls out from under bed and sneezes) >< (searches the pillows and blankets)

[the odd couple ended up doing it twice before they finally chk out]
Sylvia: [returning the keys to the reception] Wanna hv brunch, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: Hotel restaurant or outside restaurant?
Peepers: (writes) Outside.
Sylvia: Outside it is. For the record... [whispered] Ur a beast in bed wen ur in the mood [secretly goosed him] (giggle) [walked ahead of him]
Peepers: ^///^ (follows after her)
[the odd couple made their way to one of the restaurants in town to hv their brunch]
Peepers: :)
Sylvia: [ordered a heavy breakfast set]
Peepers: (orders a bagel and a coffee)
Sylvia: U sure ur just gonna eat tht?
Peepers: (writes) Yes, this is fine with me.
Sylvia: U sure u don't want something more? I'm buying
Peepers: (writes) Well...if you must insist. :)
Sylvia: Go ahead, knock urself out
Peepers: (writes) They were displaying those special bran muffins, so...
Sylvia: Sure, go ahead n get some. Like I said, my treat
Peepers: (goes up to order a few of the muffins)
TV: (was playing the news)
Sylvia: [looked up at the news while munching on her fried eggs]
Peepers: (also glanced at the news, showing a reporter doing his reports and asking passers by a few questions related to the topic)
Sylvia: [shrugged as it was just the usual generic news n went bk to eating her brunch]
Peepers: (was going to join her wth two muffins when he noticed the reporter interviewing another passer by... a Watchdog. One that looked familiar to him...) :o (dropped the muffins, wide eyed)
Sylvia: [didn't see it as she continued eating]
Peepers: (was still wide eyed...)
Cashier: Sir? Do you feel okay, sir?
Peepers: (began breathing rapidly, almost panicked)
Sylvia: [was starting to wonder why it's taking Peepers so long wen she sees Peepers at a state, got up n went to him] Yo, yo, Pipsqueak. U OK? Wat's wrong?
Peepers: (was sweating, eyes locked on the screen)
Sylvia: [her eyes looked to the direction he was staring at n saw the Watchdog, feeling something familiar abt his features] Is tht...?
Watchdog: (on TV) Ever since I've been out of prison, all I've wanted to do was...reunite with my son...apologize for all the times I've hurt him...and my wife... ;(
Peepers: (slowly shook his head, then pushed away from Sylvia to exit the area)
Sylvia: No way... [backed away from the push] Hey! Pipsqueak! Wait! [paid the bill then chased after Peepers]
Peepers: (just stopped outside the area, leaning against wall sinking into sitting position, hugging himself) :(
Sylvia: [finds him n knelt nxt to him] Pipsqueak, u OK? Tht Watchdog on TV, is he who I think he is?
Peepers: (looks up at her and nods) :(
Sylvia: But... But... He killed ur mom! N he almost killed u as a kid!! He should be in jail for life! Or sentenced to death! Wat the fuck is he doing out in the open?!
Peepers: (writes) I don't know! I'm scared he might be faking, but...at same time... ;(
Sylvia: Wat, r u telling me u think he's reli changed? Tht ur willing to actually FORGIVE him?
Peepers: (writes) I know what he did, but still, he's my father...
Sylvia: Tht's not good enough. It's thoughts like these tht let terrible ppl get away with a lot of things, bcoz of tht sentimentality. He killed ur mother, pipsqueak. I wouldn't be so lenient if it happened to me
Peepers: (glares at her)
Sylvia: [sighed] Look, I'm just saying. u be careful. I don't trust easy. He killed ur mother, n he almost killed u. For all we knw, he prolly might want revenge or want to finish the job n I... I don't want u to get hurt
Peepers: (writes) I understand...You're just looking out for me.
Sylvia: Damn right I am. I'm not abt to lose my bf to some loser ass criminal like tht... [realized wat she just said n covered her mouth]
Peepers: :o (blinked in surprise. Did she just call him her...?)
Sylvia: [cleared her throat, as if she didn't say it] Umm... Right! We better skedaddle! I need to look for some backup to get this mission done. [stands abruptly n walked a few feet away frm him, then stopped] U coming?
Peepers: (shook it off and follows after her)
Sylvia: [speed-walked her way to the docking bay to get to their spacecraft]
Peepers: (climbs aboard with her)
Sylvia: [cleared her throat] Right, u wanna listen to ur songs again, pipsqueak?
Peepers: (thinks for a moment and tunes the radio till he found a song)
Sylvia: [hears the tune] Huh, this is actually pretty catchy. Another Earth song, I presume?
Peepers: (nod) (nods head to the beat) (rock)
Sylvia: [headbang along with the music, singing along with it as she started the engine n took off to space]
Peepers: :D
Sylvia: [listened to a few more rock songs of Peepers' choice, then lowered the volume] Umm, pipsqueak?
Peepers: ? (looks at her)
Sylvia: If one day... U reli run across ur dad... How're u gonna deal with him?
Peepers: (slowly writes) I'll think of something...but right now...just not sure...
Sylvia: Will u be OK with him? I mean, u can't scream for help if he tries anything. U want me to be with u wen tht time comes wen u run into him?
Peepers: (writes) If you're sure, but Il will be getting concerned about a GF getting involved. (noticed what he wrote and quickly erased and wrote Partner) ^^;;
Sylvia: [read the gf part before he could erase it n blushed, pretended not to see it] Hehe, yeah, well, if he does anything to u, this GF will kick his ass till nxt century, no excuses
Peepers: (like)
Sylvia: [chuckled n ruffled his head as she turned on the volume to listen to more Earth rock songs again]
