[soon they arrived on Planet Newts, where Hater n Peepers claimed they got their ship frm, landing on the docks]
Wander: [steps out of the ship n took a deep breath] Ahh~~ Nice to stretch our legs
Peepers: I'll go chk on the shop tht sold our ship [picked the opposite direction]
Hater: (stepped out, now wearing the suit)
Wander: [sees him in the suit] (giggle) U knw u can still wear ur robe ovr it if ur not used to it. We won't judge
Hater: (shrugged) Maybe but this'll be fine.
Wander: U look like ur ready to go diving or something, bt it looks nice on u, esp the family sigil there [poked lightly at the sigil mark on the chest]
Hater: :$ Y-Yeah...
Sylvia: (smirk)
Wander: Hey, Bradley, fancy going anywhere while we're here?
Brad: (think) ... They have an Art Store around here?
Wander: :O Art store? U do art? I'm surprised
Brad: Well, I DO have other hobbies besides playing 'prince', ya know. :^)
Wander: Hmm, I'm not sure. It's the first time I've been to this planet. U know any art stores ard here, Hatey?
Hater: (think) There should be one around here. I think, down that way. (pointed)
Wander: Want us to join u, Bradley?
Brad: If you insist. Let Hater and Peepers do the ship shopping themselves.
Wander: Syl? U coming with us or joining Hatey n Peeps?
Sylvia: (think) Guess I can join you guys. :^) Need a ride on horsey?
Brad: ^^;; No thanks, I can walk.
Wander: Oh, Syl, stop rubbing it in [ribbed her] We'll meet up bk here then wen ur done, Hatey ;)
Hater: (nod) Okay. Let's go, Peeps.
Peepers: Cool, we'll meet bk here in hopefully abt 2 hrs time
Wander: Roger that, C.Peeps ;) [mock saluted before walking off with Sylvia n Brad]
Hater: :$ (followed Peepers)
Peepers: [walked a distance away until they were far from ear shot before clearing his throat] Ahem, I saw that :^)
Hater: o.o Saw what?
Peepers: Don't play dumb. I can spot tht blush from a mile away. Ur starting to hv the hots for tht furball
Hater: Wh-what? No I don't~ <///<
Peepers: Uh-huh, sure, n ur blushing bcoz ur having wat? A fever from ur "cold"? |-(
Hater: ... (sighed) How would you react if I even was interested in Wander that way?
Peepers: If u asked me before u had ur cancer, I'd say ur crazy. Bt now... [sighed] I guess I should've seen it a long time coming
Hater: Yeah?
Peepers: Yeah, the way u obsess ovr tht furball n always calling him ur "No1 Public Enemy" n putting wanted posters on him, bt u nvr seem to able to evr kill him evn with everything at ur disposal, its like...u don't evn WANT to kill him
Hater: Yeah...true... :( But I dunno if he'd feel the same. He mostly wanted to be friends.
Peepers: Well, who knws, with the way he talks to u, he practically seems like he's flirting with u. He might feel the same, n thinks the same thing u think, tht u just want to be friends. Bt then again... with u being sick now... both of u won't work out, since ur on borrowed time
Hater: Mhm... it sucks...
Peepers: Either way, whether he likes u as a friend or as a lover, he still deserves to knw the truth, n I hope u will be able to tell him someday, before it's too late
Hater: I know, I know, can we... focus on getting that ship now? :(
Peepers: We're almost there actually [pointing up ahead to the familiar spot where they got their ship, only there seems to be a huge crowd going on with a lot of banners, signboards n streamers]
Hater: ? What's happening?
Peepers: Not sure [goes closer n sees the sign board] "Clearance Sale: Everything Must Go"? Wat the heck?
Hater: Sounds like they're closing down for good...?
Peepers: Weird, I thought business would've been good considering all the space travel these days (think)
Hater: Well some stuff IS outdated... (think)
Peepers: [shrugged] I guess, bt tht means we can get ships at a bargain price. Better make it quick if we wanna get wat we want
Hater: (nod)
[the duo looked ard to chk out the ships n its model n make, trying to weave thru the big crowd who were there to shop for bargain ships as well]
Hater: Boy, lots of people here...
Peepers: No one can resist a bargain, tht's for sure. See anything u fancy, sir?
Hater: (think) (looks around) ... :O Huh?
Peepers: Wat? Wat is it, sir? [tries to look at his direction]
Hater: (moves for Peepers to see)
Peepers: [sees it] :O Woah...
(What was before them was a slightly large ship with a light shade of green and had a mansion type of shape to it)
Peepers: Tht looks pretty good. Bt still a tad big tho...? (think)
Hater: Maybe a little, but you'd never know when someone might wanna visit. (shrugged)
Peepers: Well, at least its a lot smaller than our current mothership. U sure u want tht, sir?
Hater: (nod) Yes.
Peepers: Alright, we better... [sees someone moving fast towards it in the crowd, also looking interested] Uh-oh, looks like someone wants to get it too. I'll make a run for it! [sped towards the ship, then slammed his hand onto the ship almost the same time as the person] I call dibs!
??: I call dibs... Wait, wat the heck r u doing here, eyeball??
Peepers: Sorry, finders keep-- [sees the person, who turns out to be Emperor Awesome] You! >:C
Hater: :| Gob damnit.
Awesome: N I see Bonehead there not far behind [looks up n dwn the Skeletor] Wat's with the diving suit?
Hater: None your business, and besides, I called that ship! Go find your own!
Awesome: I saw tht ship a mile away! Its perfect for my partying! My old one worn out n I need a new one!
Peepers: Bugger off! There's a dozen other ships ard here tht u can use for ur lame parties! Beat it!
Awesome: Still haven't exactly put tht eyeball on a leash, hv u? Its a matter of time before he turns rabid on u, Bonehead
Hater: Why you...!! (wanted to use his pwoiers but felt unsure if he'd have another reaction)
Awesome: Aww yeah, u wanna fight? C'mon! Bring it! [brings his fists up]
Peepers: [whispered] U got the suit, sir, don't worry. I'll bk u up
Hater: (nod) (used a lightning bolt on Awesome)
Awesome: [dodged it, almost hitting a nearby ship] Oooh, is tht all u got? [pounces onto the Skeletor]
Peepers: Get offa him! [tries to pull the Marina away]
Hater: Hey, quit it! (had a hard time getting Awesome off of him)
[the trio tussled ovr each other until a loud gunshot was heard in the air, stopping them dead in their tracks, revealing the store owner with a shotgun]
Owner: [with a thick Southern accent] Now I appreciate y'all want my ship to fight ovr it, bt I don't appreciate y'all making collateral damage outta my store
Peepers: [pointed at Awesome] HE started it!
Awesome: No, HE started it! [pointed at both Peepers n Hater]
Hater: You brought it on yourself! (pointed at Awesome)
Owner: |-( [fired another shot in the air again] Alright, ya whippersnappers, listen up. If ya wanna buy my ship so much, then gimme an offer. Highest bidder wins. Base price starts frm tht one stuck on my ship there
Awesome: [sees the price, which was 10,000 creds] I'll give u 50,000 creds for it!
Hater: :o 100,000 creds!
Awesome: 200,000!
Hater: Grr... 10000,000 creds!
Peepers: :O [tugged at Hater n hissed] U just quoted 10 million for an old junk ship! R u sure abt this, sir??
Hater: (whispered) the only way Awesome will get off my back! (let it sink in)... :| Ah flarp.
Awesome: 20 mil, n that's my last offer!
Owner: SOLD! To the shark gentleman there!
Peepers: Wait, where the heck u get tht kind of cash?! D : <
Awesome: I'm an Emperor, I'm royalty, I got cash to spare. Besides destroying planets via partying comes with its benefits. My Fistfighters can scrounge up a lot of loot tht ends up floating in space for me :D
Hater: ...(angry) (pins down Awesome in anger)
Awesome: Hey, wat the--?? Get ur sore loser master off me, u eyeball!
Peepers: Not until u let him hv the ship!
Awesome: Nvr! I won it fair n square on tht bidding! Get ur own ship!
Hater: (gets in his face) You listen closely, shrimp breath. :| What if I mentioned I'm very VERY sick and could die any day? Would you STILL take the ship as your own or give it up for someone whom might need it till their very last day?? Choose wisely!
Awesome: Wait, wait, wait... Wat? Ur sick? Ur kidding me, right?
Peepers: We don't kid wen it comes to serious stuff like that
Awesome: Pfft! Ur just saying tht to make me feel sorry for u to trick me into getting tht ship. Prove it!
Hater: :| You asked... (inhaled and spat out black mucus)
Awesome: [dodged that spit n barely nicked his fin] Ugh, eww! Wat the...?!
Peepers: N that's just the tip of his problems
Hater: And I'm at a Stage 2 where my powers will go out of control here and there. So...what's your choice now?
Awesome: [considers it a bit, a short pause later] Fine, u can hv this stupid ship. It's not exactly my colour either. I'll find another one. BUT! On one condition
Hater: :^) What is it...?
Awesome: Ur good at finding ppl, n word has it tht u often hv run-ins with my mortal party enemy furball Wander. I want u to help me get a date with Bee, tht hot chick who is always hanging out with tht furball
Peepers: Hot... Chick...? PFFT--!!! [tries to hold bk his laughter at the idea of Sylvia as being called a hot chick]
Hater: You and Sylvia...? Are... Pfft, are you serious?? (Rofl)
Awesome: Wats so funny? Me, Emperor Awesome the party animal is allowed to hv the hots for ppl, u know! Last I chked, it's a free galaxy! >:C
Hater: But not all the babes will want you. XD
Awesome: Heh, u'd be surprised how many babes flock to me wen I'm partying
Peepers: OMG, none? I'm so surprised (rofl)
Awesome: Ha ha ha, laugh all u want >:C Bt tht is my condition. U get the ship if u get me a date!
Hater: :p Yeah, okay, sure.
Owner: So r u guys buying or not? :^)
Awesome: He is, with whatever price he's offering [thumbed at Hater]
Peepers: N we're offering 50,000 cred for tht, nothing more
Owner: |-( Fine~ Sold to u then. Come n sign the paperwork in my office
Awesome: Remember, Bonehead. We hv a deal [saunters off to find another ship to buy]
Hater: :^) (follows the Owner)
[Peepers n Hater soon signed the paperwork n officially owned the ship]
Peepers: So wat r we gonna do with our old ship, sir?
Hater: (think) ... Give it away to someone who can use it themselves?
Peepers: Wouldn't it be better to sell it? Make a little money bk on the side?
Hater: ... (nod) Yeah, that'll work too.
Peepers: Just need to find a place to sell it off
Owner: If I might suggest, there is an auction house just a few towns away from here who accepts second hand ships. They'll take ur ship if u allow them to accept commission from the auction sale
Hater: :) Cool.
Peepers: Right. Can we hv the name n directions to the plc?
Owner: Here u go [gives them a business card to that plc]
Hater: (takes it)
Owner: We'll send someone to bring ur ship to the docks later
Peepers: Much obliged. Shall we head off to tht auction house, sir?
Hater: (nod) Let's.
Peepers: [leaves the owner's office n out the store]
Awesome: [sees them n hollers out loud] REMEMBER, WE GOT A DEAL, BONEHEAD~
Peepers: (doh) Geez! Evn without his loud speakers, he's deafening
Hater: (doh) No kidding.
[both hauled a cab to get to the plc, while in the car...]
Peepers: So, how r u gonna get the zbornak to honour the deal?
Hater: If I can't convince, Wander probably could.
Peepers: |-( As usual...
Hater: ^^;; Well, yeah.
Peepers: Lets just hope the zbornak doesn't try to punch our lights out first wen we tell her abt the deal
Hater: ^^;; Me too.
