Three's A Crowd-Chp85

[an hour later, they were waiting at the port for Brad's arrival]

Sylvia: [was sitting dwn on the bench nxt to the pram nursing the babies with the feeding tubes]

Awesome & Peepers: (sat beside her on both sides)

Babies: [suckled the tube, enjoying their meal]

Sylvia: Well, I'm glad we got over that hurdle. Looks like ur family accepted us

Awesome: ;) Didn't I tell you?

Peepers: Kinda. (chuckle)

Sylvia: Well, I can't help feeling worried, especially wen ur dad was going all hysterical at first

Awesome: He was just being a dad, that's all.

Sylvia: I can see tht.... Wen he said I could call him Dad, it reli warms my heart, felt almost like my dad has come bk to me :)

Awesome: :) It does, huh?

Sylvia: Yeah :) Which reminds me... Wat abt ur family, Peepers? Wen do we get to meet them?

Peepers: Uh... I'm afraid...that's not possible... :(

Sylvia: Huh? Why?

Awesome: Something happen with them?

Peepers: My home planet... was dying when Lord Hater found me and the other Watchdogs... but others never made it out of there...including my family... :(

Awesome: :O

Sylvia: Oh Peepers... I didn't knw... I'm sorry I brought it up [hugged Peepers close]

Peepers: It's okay... they were falling ill anyhow... :( they wouldn't have made it even if they did...

Awesome: :( Bro... (also joined the hug)

Sylvia: I'm so sorry... U must've felt so alone seeing us having families n u don't... :(

Peepers: I did...but now, I have you guys as my family. Every one of you. :)

Awesome: :)

Sylvia: :) [kissed him on the cheek]

Awesome: (did the same to the other cheek) (kiss)

Peepers: :$

[soon Hater's ship was in sight]

Sylvia: Oh, here they come [chk to see if the babies r done before taking off the feeding tube]

Awesome: (helps burp them) :)

Peepers: (hearteyes)

Sylvia: (wave) [waved at the ship as it slowly landed, then the ship entrance opened up for them] Lets get in, Pipsqueak. R ur minions coming along as well with ur ship, Fishface?

Awesome: (nod) They are.

Peepers: :) (followed Sylvia)

Sylvia: Alright, just remind them to stick close to Hater's ship [enters the ship entrance n made their way to command center as the ship lifted off n flew to space]

Brad: [was waiting with Westley in the command center] Hey, guys

Westley: [saluted Peepers] Captain Peepers, sir!

Peepers: (wave) Hey, Westley.

Brad: How did the family meeting go?

Sylvia: Surprisingly well. We had to promise to return coz Fishface's dad want us to hv a double wedding along with his sisters :p

Awesome: :D That is us and my sisters.

Peepers: :) (to Westley, whispering) When we have a moment, I need to ask you a thing.

Westley: [whispered] Yes, sir

Brad: Well, glad tht u guys had better luck than we did. Congrats, btw

Sylvia: Thanks :) So Bonehead still in his room?

Brad: Yup, still moping. He had brought Dipper with him into tht room n almost didn't want to open the door to let me help take care of him, bt Dipper's hunger persuaded him to pass him to me. I get tht he's upset n all, bt Wander needs us, more than ever, n it won't help him just staying cooped up in there :(

Peepers: :( Well, hopefully we can get through to him.

Awesome: (nod)

Sylvia: Fingers crossed

Brad: I can give it a shot again to try n talk to him, bt I need some backup with me tho

Awesome: (like) I've got your back.

Brad: Cool [led him to Hater's room]

Sylvia: I better go tuck the kids in [wheeled the pram to their room]

Westley: So, sir, u wanted to talk?

Peepers: (nod) Yes. (think) ... Which planet would have the best pet shelter in your opinion?

Westley: [thought] I dunno, haven't reli been conquering much these days to knw... (think)

Peepers: I see... (think) And I'm not talking for right now, (shake) I'm meaning after we save Wander from that crazy woman.

Westley: I see, bt why would you wanna go to a pet shelter? Wat r u planning to get?

Peepers: Just something that could be a good guard animal but also gentle with the kids. I mean, after what me and Sylvia went through, I don't want anything else happening to her, Awesome or the kids.

Westley: Sounds fair. Ooh, maybe get a Doom Dragon, tht would be cool :D

Peepers: :D Heh, that'd be neat. But would they be easy to tame?

Westley: Not sure, prolly hv to start young. Prolly need to start raising them from an egg so tht they would imprint on u n be easier to tame? (think) Brad might know a thing or two. He said his ancestors used to breed Doom Dragons until his great grandparents outlawed it for some reason

Peepers: (nod) Right.

Westley: Will that be all, sir? We need to get started with navigating so we can locate Lord Dominator's ship

Peepers: Yes, that is all. (nod)
