[the two ship were soon within walking distance as they both extended bridges to connect each other, then soon Brad n Awesome stood at the entrance waiting for whoever it is to come approach them]
Peepers: (slowly approached them)
Brad: Peepers? Where's Hater? N wats with the get-up? [gestured at his new uniform]
Peepers: ...It's Captain Peepers, for now.
Awesome: Captain?
Peepers: (sighs and explains about Hater being absent)
Brad: Woah, wait... Hater just bailed on u guys? N went crawling bk to his family?
Sylvia: [came with Wander to chk out wat happened, then sees Peepers n ducked out of sight, hissing] Shit!
Peepers: (nod) Seems so, yes. But he seemed reluctant.
Wander: (wave) Heya, Peepers. Nice outfit.
Peepers: (wave) Hey, Wan... o_o Wait, when did you start talking again?
Sylvia: [stayed hidden behind the wall out of sight as she listened in]
Brad: [gestured to the choker] A gift frm me courtesy of my cousin [explains wat it does]
Westley: Wander~ [was happy to see him as he ran n hug him] Chk me out! I'm the Commander now! Finally I got my dues! Isnt it cool? :D
Wander: (hug) :) That sounds great.
Peepers: Hehe, yeah... ^^;;
Awesome: What's the prob? You don't seem happy with this position.
Peepers: It was just put on me when Hater left us.
Brad: U might wanna explain tht to Wander too, since he just got here
Peepers: (turns to Wander) Hater... He's gone back to his home planet... Become a king and be suited with some random broad.
Wander: :o
Sylvia: [gasped as well out of sight]
Brad: I suppose he's got a proper good reason for it, I hope?
Peepers: It's... A personal thing with his family, they needed him back...
Wander: :( ...
Brad: How personal can it be tht he would abandon Wander? Did someone die or something? [didn't mean it as a serious question]
Peepers: His sister did, few years ago. And his brother's on his death bed.
Wander: (worry)
Awesome: Man, that's gotta suck...
Brad: Geez, I meant tht as a rhetorical question. Ur for real? :O
Sylvia: [tries to peek to hear the conversation better, bt ducked out of sight again to avoid Peepers]
Peepers: :( Yeah...
Wander: :( I'm sorry... You hear that, Sylvia? (unintentionally called her out)
Sylvia: [cringed at her name being called] (facepalm)
Brad: Wat? Sylvia is here? [looked ard for her]
Wander: (nodded towards her hiding spot)
Peepers: ...Sylvia?
Awesome: Bee...?
Sylvia: [stayed where she was, not wanting to see them]
Brad: [jerked his head at Peepers, whispered] U should go to her
Peepers: (nod) (walked towars where Sylvia was hiding)
Sylvia: [her breath hitched wen she heard Peepers' footsteps, not sure whether to stay or bolt] (worry)
Peepers: ...Sylvia, is that you...?
Sylvia: [bit her lip, dunno whether to reply]
Brad: [mouthed his words] "Go to her"
Peepers: (walked up to her) :(
Sylvia: [sees him emerge n cringed, then chuckled nervously] ....Hey, pipsqueak, eheheh...
Peepers: ...How have you been...?
Sylvia: Ehh... I'm good. I mean slightly heavy n tired a lot, bt I'm good...
Peepers: Mhm... (shuffled on his feet)
Sylvia: [shuffled as well, not sure wat to talk abt]
Peepers: ...So, yeah... Hater gave me the job as Captain...
Sylvia: Yeah, I can see from ur new outfit. Looking pretty sharp n all...
Peepers: (nod) Have to be more responsible then when I was Commander.
Sylvia: I knew u were pretty destined for great things. So is this gig sorta permanent? Ur leading the Watchdogs now?
Peepers: (nod) Yes. But hopefully for now if Hater ever changed his mind... :(
Sylvia: Being a King is not something he can just get out of. I doubt he can change his mind if he could
Peepers: Who knows...
Sylvia: I, uh... I missed u... Kinda... [rubbed her bk of the neck sheepishly]
Peepers: Yeah... I did, too...
Sylvia: Umm... [shuffled slightly closer towards Peepers]
Peepers: So...uh... (inched himself closer to her too)
Sylvia: Umm, yeah... [inched closer again]
Peepers: ...(sighed) :$
Sylvia: [tentatively leaned in for a kiss frm him]
Peepers: ... (also leaned in)
Sylvia: [gently pecked him on the lips]
Peepers: (kiss)
Sylvia: :$ [looked away sheepishly]
Peepers: (also looked away) :$
Sylvia: So, uh, other than being promoted, how's it going with u?
Peepers: It's alright... (looked at her belly) ...May I...?
Sylvia: Umm, yeah, s-sure... [stood straight to let him touch her]
Peepers: (pressed a hand gently to her stomach) ... :) Hello in there? Can you hear me?
[there was slight movement]
Sylvia: I guess tht's a yes. Docs said once the shell ard the eggs harden on the final mth, they won't be able to move tht much
Peepers: Aw, hey there. I'm your Father. (inlove)
[another movement was felt]
Sylvia: (giggle) Guess they recognize their daddy
Peepers: :D They really do.
Sylvia: Umm... I'm feeling a little peckish. Wanna go grab a bite with us? I was planning to ask Fishface along...
Peepers: (think) ...Okay. :)
Sylvia: [peeks out frm behind her hiding plc] Umm, hey, Fishface. Wanna grab a bite with us?
Awesome: :) Sure, I can go for a bite.
Wander: :^) ?
Sylvia: [ignored Wander's look n jerked her head at Awesome, as if to hurry him along]
Awesome: (comes over to her)
Peepers: (envy)
Sylvia: C'mon [takes Awesome n Peepers in each hand n made their way to the cafeteria]
Brad: Well, at least she's trying to help them get along
Wander: Yeah...
Brad: [turned to Wander] So, wat do u think abt Hater's predicament, princess?
Wander: It's possible he'd find someone else to love... :( And that'd be...fine with... ;(
Brad: Oh Wander... :( [hugged him close]
Wander: (hid his face in Brad's chest) ;(
Brad: [sighed sadly as he rubbed his bk; he could tell tht Wander was still in love with Hater, much more so than he claims to be]
Wander: (sniffled)
Brad: ....Would it hv been better for u if u had chosen Hater all along frm the beginning instead of me? :(
Wander: I...I don't know... I just don't know... :(
Brad: Maybe if u had chosen him, then he didn't hv to choose btwn his family n let them match him with someone else. Both of u would've been happily evr aftr together. I was the one who imposed my feelings on u...
Wander: Bradley...don't be doing this...
Brad: [shut his eyes tight, trying to stop his own tears of heartbreak]
Wander: :( Please, Bradley...
Brad: I'm sorry... I'm sorry for causing u all this drama n heartache... If I didn't show up at all... ;(
Wander: ;( No, Bradley, I...
Brad: I love u, I reli do, bt I can't be in the way wen u love someone else more than u love me... ;(
Wander: (hugged him tight)
Brad: Evn if u choose Hater in the end... Evn if the kids end up being mine... If u choose him, I'm... I'm willing to disappear. Disappear frm u n our kids lives forever so tht u can hv ur happily evr aftr... ;(
Wander: :( I want to work this out somehow... I just want to make it work...So all of us can be happy...
Brad: ;( [hugged him bk just as tight, bt not too tight tht he might squish Wander's belly]
Wander: ;( (kept hugging him)
