[A week later, Wander was deemed fit for discharge]
Brad: [helps Wander off the bed] Feeling better now, princess?
Wander: (nod) (felt his throat) :(
Brad: [noticed, then patted his bk] It's OK, we'll figure something out to make u communicate better someday
Sylvia: [pops her head in] We ready to go, guys?
Wander: (nod) (picked up his hat, placing it atop his head)
Sylvia: Right, let's get outta this hospital n jet [takes out the Orrble Juice]
Brad: Umm, maybe u would like to come with me. I got a sweet ride for us
Wander: (think) (looked at Sylvia) ?
Sylvia: :^) U got a ride?
Brad: Yeah, my cousin made it for me wen I went bk to my home planet for a visit after I went to tell Demurra the news abt courting Wander. I needed a ride tht can get me faster to u, princess ;)
Wander: (thought about it)... (nod)
Sylvia: Lead the way then
Brad: Right. It's tht a way [led the duo]
Sylvia: So I'm curious, how did u even end up being here? How did u know where we are?
Brad: Technically I didn't. I came here to look for a gift so tht I can use it as a courting gift for wen I meet Wander someday. I hv been following bread crumbs here n there to where u might hv been, starting with planets tht Hater tried to conquer bt failed, n then I decided to follow Hater's trail instead bcoz I know Wander has a habit of showing up wherever he is. Then I saw his little sidekick skulking abt the area n Hater leaving the restaurant all smug n in a hurry, so I thought "Huh, wat is tht bonehead up to, I wonder" n went in to investigate. The rest is history
Wander: :(
Sylvia: I find that hard to believe ur here by coincidence
Brad: Like I said, believe whatever u want. My intentions r pure [sees the docks up ahead] Ah, there it is [pointing at a pretty big n flashy space bike]
Wander: :O (was of course impressed)
Sylvia: :) Well, I hate to admit it, Starlight, bt tht is actually a pretty sweet ride
Brad: Ikr? My cousin maybe a prince by birth right, bt he's definitely more suited to be a royal engineer
Wander: :D
Sylvia: Wait, ur cousin is a prince? Bt... Bt tht would make u...
Brad: Yup, a prince as well, running candidate for the throne :D
Wander: :)
Sylvia: Then shouldn't u be, I dunno, bk at ur home planet running for the throne or something?
Brad: I don't exactly hv much of a chance anyways. My mother was my father's concubine, coz his legit wife the Queen couldn't hv kids of her own. Chad is closer to royal blood than I could ever be, n there's others as well in my family in the running more pure royal blood than I am so... Ehh [shrugged nonchalantly]
Wander: (placed a hand on Brad's arm)
Brad: [felt the hand n stroke it] Tbh, now tht I think abt it, I think that's why I'm so obsessed with Demurra. Part of me trying to get in good graces for the running, n having a princess might secure me in the race
Sylvia: U don't say... :|
Wander: (nod)
Brad: Anyway, shall we? We better get on with Hater's trail if we wanna catch up to him
Sylvia: Say no more [hops onto the bk side of the bike]
Brad: Shall we, princess? :)
Wander: :) (hops on and casually wraps his arms around Brad's middle)
Brad: [felt the arms ard him n blushed] :$ Alright, here we go [revved up the engines, activated the Orrble Juice bubble ard the bike n took off]
Wander: :D
[the gang soon was in the vast galaxy]
Brad: Alright, so according to the scanner on this bike to detect fuel residue, Hater's ship sorta went... [chk the scanner then look ard] Tht-a-way [gestured to eastwards]
Wander: (think)
Sylvia: Well, lets not waste time then. Follow tht ship
Brad: Right on [drove the bike eastwards, following the direction of the scanner]
Wander: (held on) .. :(
Sylvia: [noticed Wander's expression] Penny for ur thoughts, buddy?
Wander: ... (shake) (answered 'no')
Sylvia: U knw u can tell me, right? I can tell u got something on ur mind there, buddy
Wander: ... (took notepad from his hat and wrote)
Note: I'm not so sure about doing this...
Sylvia: Doing wat? Getting bk at tht bonehead for wat he did to u? >:C
Wander: :( ...
Sylvia: [sighed] Look, there's no sugar coating this, Wander. He doesn't like us, u in particular, n it's clear he wants u dead, n he left u for dead just now without even turning bk. U can't just let him get away with it. At least I won't, ur my buddy, u deserve retribution
Wander: ... (sighed silently)
Sylvia: Or if u don't want revenge, at least some answers, even tho we pretty much know the answer to why he did wat he...
Brad: That's quite enough out of u, Sylvia. He's already going along with ur vengeance crusade even tho he clearly doesn't want to, so stop rubbing it in. U said it urself he could tell u anything, n now u can't accept it wen he doesn't agree with u?
Sylvia: Oh shut it, Mama's boy! No one asked u!
Brad: I don't need to be asked to defend my princess!
Wander: (placed his hands over his ears, not wanting to hear this)
Sylvia: Pfft! Whatever! I don't hv to answer to u. Ur not the boss of me
Brad: N ur not the boss of Wander either! He can feel whatever he wants to feel, so get off his case
Wander: >_< ... (threw his hands up between both of them, both hands glowing white)
Sylvia: Woah, woah, calm dwn, Wander, calm dwn...
Brad: Woah! Wat is that?! [almost freaked out n skidded to a halt]
Wander: (his hands stopped glowing as he gave Brad a look of concern but glared in disappointment at Sylvia)
Sylvia: [sighed] That's his hidden power. He's half Angel Nomad on his dad's side, so he's got a bit of powers
Brad: Woah, angel nomad? I thought those species hv extinct eons ago :O
Wander: (Shake)
Sylvia: Not quite, as u can see. In fact he just got new sibs, part of them angel Nomads as well
Brad: Well that's fascinating, considering they're reli rare
Wander: :)
Brad: Well, then congrats on being a big brother now, princess. I look forward to meet ur family soon :)
Wander: :D (realized something) :o
Sylvia: [noticed his facial expression] Wat is it, buddy?
Wander: (wrote on notepad)
Note: How am I going to break it to my family, that I'm...?
Sylvia: Oh, right, tht... Well, we'll just hv to play it by the ear then. No use fretting abt it right now
Wander: :( ... (nod)
Sylvia: I promise, wen we're done with Hater, we'll go bk to Janet n we can explain everything tht had happened to u
Wander: ... (nod)
Brad: Right, nxt stop, Hater's mothership then
Sylvia: Ride on! (rock)
Wander: (was still unsure)
