Peepers: [was in the main meeting room as Westley said, looking out of the window at the deep space]
*knock knock knock*
Hater: Um... Peepers? You in here?
Peepers: [heard him, bt doesn't reply]
Hater: (steps inside)
Peepers: [glanced sideways bt doesn't turn ard to face him] Don't mind me. Just here to admire the view one last time before I quit n leave this plc
Hater: Peepers... Understand at least this is something I have to do...
Peepers: [turns ard] Hv to do? Wat is it tht u hv to do tht u need to quit conquering? U told me conquering was ur dream. U even got into an argument with ur dad bcoz u don't want to take the throne. U wanted to rule the world. Wat changed?
Hater: ...If you're really planning to leave here...it's cancer...a type that can't be cured... :( And I was afraid to mention this to anyone...and if I told you...there'd be the chance you'd make me continue doing what I've been doing my whole life... (turned away) There, I said it...
Peepers: [was shocked speechless for a full minute before he found his voice] C-Cancer...? Ur... Ur kidding me, right? U... Ur just trying to make me feel better, r-right...?
Hater: No, Peepers...I'm serious about this... why I wasn't able to eat much...why I wanted to retire... ;( I'm gonna die at some point...
Peepers: N wat...? U were gonna keep me in the dark abt this n let me believe ur doing this out of some mid-life crisis, some whim? Were u ever going to tell me?
Hater: I ... I knew I'd have to...but I just didn't know how... :(
Peepers: [his body shaking, he grabbed the nearest thing he could find n threw it at the wall] I am ur second in command! Ur best friend! The person who stood by u n who swore his loyalty to u since then day u rescued us from our dying planet! U know better than to keep this from me! I should be the first person to know abt this! It's not fair, it's not fair! [starts sobbing as well] ;(
Hater: ;( ... Peepers... (held out his arms) I'm sorry...
Peepers: [breathed heavily in anger n sorrow before he made a mad dash to Hater n started punching his body] It's not fair!! It's not fair!! Why did u hide it from me?! I should be the first to know! I would've said OK, I would've let u do whatever u wanted! Instead u let me get mad at u n u do these things behind my bk!! I'm ur best friend, gob dammit!! ;(
Hater: :( ... (tried to embrace the Watchdog) ;(
Peepers: [kept hitting him until he had no strength left n just started sobbing in his arms] No, no, no... It's not fair! U were just chasing after ur dreams! U were evil bt u nvr killed anybody! U don't deserve to die like this...!! Not like this...!! ;(
Hater: I can't be a conqueror forever, Peepers! I can't, knowing I have this... ;(
Peepers: I know! I know! I get it, bt... It's just not fair! U hv been evil, yes, WE'VE been evil! We've done unsavory things to ppl, yes, we've hurt ppl, yes, bt we nvr killed anybody! We've nvr taken anyone's life...!! It's not fair...!! ;(
Hater: ;( (just held Peepers close, also sobbing)
Peepers: ;( I wish it were me... I wish I were in ur place instead... U don't deserve to die... ;(
Hater: :( I'm sorry, C Peeps...There's no cure...
Peepers: ....It's the main reason why u went home, isn't it? To break it to ur family.
Hater: Yes...
Peepers: Does... Does that furball know? Does the zbornak know?
Hater: No...and I don't think Wander would be able to take these kind of news...
Peepers: (think)... Yeah, ur right. The less he knws the better. Knwing him, he might get himself killed just to try n look for a cure for u
Hater: That's what I'm afraid of... So...are you coming to the party?
Peepers: [a long silence later, sighed] Yeah, I'm coming. N I'm staying as well. I'm not abt to abandon u now tht I knw wat's wrong with u. I'm with u till the end
Hater: ... :) Thanks, Peeps.
Peepers: Lets get going then :) I'm in need of a strong drink n some heavy food right abt now
Hater: (nod) (leads the way to the party)
Wander: [sees Hater n Peepers coming in a few mins later n waved happily] (wave) Hey guys! There u are! Glad u could join us, Peeps!
Peepers: Heh, yeah, sure [turns to head to the bar to get his drink]
Hater: Got through to him, you might say.
Wander: I see. Well, as long as he's not angry anymore :)
Hater: Yeah. (Nod)
Wander: Well, wat r we standing here gawking at each other for? Night is still young! Lets give the guys a farewell party they'll nvr forget! (party)
Hater: :D
