As My Heart Dies-Chp6

[a few weeks had passed, n Hater couldn't avoid the family visit any longer, since he was getting numerous texts from Grimm n Loathe abt it]

Hater: (having answered yet another text) (facepalm) I don't believe this... (sees his pet crawl up) Oh, hey Captain Tim.

Captain Tim: [yapped, then circled playfully ard his feet]

Hater: (scooped him up) How's my little monster today?~ (heart)

Captain Tim: [yapped n nipped at Hater's chin playfully]

Hater: (giggle) (cradled him close)

Captain Tim: [hears the buzz on his phone as another incoming text arrived n sniffed at the phone curiously]

Hater: ^^;; (checks it)

Text: (from Grimm) So u coming or not? Don't make me hack into ur ship n put in the schedule for ur little Pee-Pee to see >:C

Hater: (texts) I tried to tell you something last time, but you cut me off before I could! I don't even know if I'm able to make it.

Text: (Grimm) Wat do u mean u can't make it home? Try. There r things we need to talk abt face to face. U don't even hv to bring ur minions along with u, just see us privately. Grab ur own personal ship or something

Hater: (texts) There's no point avoiding this anymore, is there?

Text: (Grimm) Nuh-uh, unless u want me to send an armada to escort u over ;p

Text: (Loathe) U know he can do that. Just get it over with. We need to talk too

Hater: |-( (texts) Ugh, fine. I'll see if I can, but if I can't...

Text: (Grimm) If u can't, I'm gonna track ur GPS n drag u home ;p

Text: (Loathe) Cya soon ;)

Hater: (texts) Yeah, cya... (groans in his hand)

Captain Tim: [tilted his head in curiosity]

Hater: Just some family matters, Tim. That's all. (petted his head)

Captain Tim: [yapped, then jumped a bit as he heard the timer go off signifying Hater's next dose]

Hater: Oh yeah. (takes a needle from the box and bit his lip injecting it into himself)

Captain Tim: [whined at seeing him jab himself]

Hater: ...It's supposed to help with my tasting problem... :(

Captain Tim: [sniffed curiously at the used needle n snorted]

Hater: Yeah, I don't like it so much either...

Peepers: [thru the intercom] Sir, now tht we're done with conquering the last planet, u got any plans?

Hater: Well... my family's been begging me to visit them, so...

Peepers: Would u like to go alone, or would u like me to come with u, or the whole armada to go along with u?

Hater: I'll be fine on my own, you just...take care of things.

Peepers: Alright. I'll ask Westley to prepare ur fastest ship pod for u

Hater: (nod)

[minutes later, the ship pod was ready for Hater at the ship port]

Peepers: [carries Hater's luggage] U sure u don't want me to accompany u, sir?

Hater: Yes, C Peeps. I want to do this alone.

Peepers: Alright, sir. Its ur family n ur family affairs aftr all. I understand. Wen do u think u'll be bk?

Hater: I'm not sure. Just take care of things while I'm gone, got it?

Peepers: [saluted] Sir, yes, sir!

Hater: (nod) (boarded his ship)

Peepers: [stood clear n watched as Hater exited the mothership with the ship pod] (wave)

Hater: (wave) (drove his ship towards his destination)
