[a few mins later, they soon approached a greenish-looking planet]
Peepers: Here we are, Planet Suza 2.3
Magica: Muu~? [looked out curiously]
Brad: (also looked) :O
Peepers: This is our stop [drove into the planet n to the nearest docking area]
Magica: Mwee~~ ^W^
Brad: Wow...
Peepers: [got off the ship n helped them out] Like this plc?
Brad: It looks amazing... :)
Peepers: This plc is 100% plant-based life, evn the citizens here r plant-based DNA, its the perfect environmental-friendly society. They made it in such a way tht they dont rely on anything non-organic to survive n modernize, n they usually very rarely allow visitors frm outside galaxy to enter for fear of pollution. U hv to go thru a huge long list of screening before ur evn allowed to set foot in this plc
Brad: ^^;; I see...
Peepers: Heh, yeah, I had to go thru a lot of tests n questionnaires, bt I finally managed to get a family pass for us [showed them 3 shiny green tickets] So yeah, we can do watevr we want here for abt 3 days
Magica: Muu~? [sees the tickets on Peepers' hand, leaned forward out of curiosity n nommed them]
Peepers: Ah, sweetness, no! O_O;;
Brad: o.o;; No, no, no, honey. Don't eat those. ^^;;
Magica: Nyu~~? (sad)
Peepers: No, sweetness. We need this for our family day out, okay? If we ruin it, we will hv to leave. No more outing
Magica: Mm... (sad)
Brad: :) It'll be okay, honey. We'll find a place where we can eat. (to somewhat himself) And maybe they'll have fruit cocktails.
Peepers: (smile) Let's go then. First stop, lunch
Brad: (nod) (followed Peepers)
Peepers: [takes his hand n they both made their way to the city area]
[the trio soon arrived to town, n once there, they made their way to the nearest restaurant]
Peepers: Hope u don't mind vegetarian. Ppl here eats mostly vegs n grains n beans here, I heard. Think the only protein they hv is tofu n fish
Brad: (think) well, that's okay.
Peepers: Come [led them to the nearest restaurant, then approaches the receptionist] Table for 3 pls
Magica: [amazed at the receptionist, who looked green in colour with vine-like appendages all ovr their body]
Brad: :)
Receptionist: (nod) This way sir.
[they followed the receptionist to a seat that was near the window]
Peepers: (think: Ah, seat with a view. That'll keep Magica entertained while we eat)
Brad: :) (sets Magica into a baby seat)
Peepers: [helped Brad to his seat wen he's done, holding his chair for him]
Brad: (blush) (takes his seat) Thanks.
Peepers: No worries [took his own seat n leafed thru the menu] Heh, this menu would definitely be perfect for Wander
Magica: [played with the menu in front of him, nomming the edges]
Brad: (chuckle) (looked through his own menu)
Peepers: [occasionally stole a look frm behind the menu at Brad, hiding his blush] -///-
Brad: (did the same) (blush)
Magica: [continued nomming the menu while occasionally enjoyed the view outside the window]
Peepers: U ready to order?
Brad: (think) Hmm... trying to decide between either a tofu burger or the pesto pasta.
Peepers: Same, tho more like trying to decide on whether to hv pasta or vegetarian pizza. Wat would Magica like?
Magica: Mwee~ ^w^
Brad: Something a little soft for him. (think)
Peepers: Maybe a soup n some mash potatoes then?
Magica: :p
Brad: (nod) Sounds good.
Peepers: [called for the waiter to make their order]
Waiter: (comes over) Yeees? May I help you gentlemen tonight?
Peepers: Hi, we'd like to order now. U wanna go first, Starlight?
Brad: (think) I guess I'll go for the tofu burger and a water.
Peepers: I'll go for the mushroom pizza then, n mash potatoes n soup for the little one
Magica: Mwee~ :p
Waiter: (nod) Excellent choices. (writes down orders and leaves)
Brad: :) Heh... (doh) Forgot to ask about fruit cocktails.
Peepers: Don't worry, the bar is ovr there, I'll go help order for them to bring it here [leaves the table]
Magica: Nnh? Papa? :(
Brad: :) He'll be back, honey. Don't worry.
Magica: [pouted as he sat bk]
Brad: (chuckle)
Peepers: [made the fruit cocktail orders n came bk]
Magica: Papa~ :D
Brad: :) (took his) You know, these were my favorite as a kid.
Peepers: Reli? I didnt knw tht. Ur mom often make those for u or something?
Brad: She did. ^^ ... :(
Peepers: Sorry, umm... Did I say something wrong?
Brad: Hm? (shake) No, it's fine, really.
Peepers: Did something happen to ur family? I mean, u dont hv to tell me if u dont want to, bt I'd like to get to knw u more than wat I hear frm Lord Hater
Brad: (sighed) I was only 8, the day when both my mother and father had been... taken. Been living with my grandparents ever since... :(
Peepers: Taken? Taken how?
Brad: All I can remember there a war between one tribe and my family's. Not in a pleasant way either.
Peepers: Oh, sorta like a civil war thing, huh? Sorry to hear tht
Brad: It's okay... was pretty scary at times.
Peepers: I assume u guys still won the war, since ur grandparents r still ard?
Brad: In a way, we did win. (nod)
Peepers: I see (nod) [noticed the food coming] Ah, here comes our order :)
Magica: Mwee~ :D
Waiter: (places food on table) :) If you need anything else, feel free to give a call.
Brad: (nod) Thank you sir.
Peepers: Thank u kindly. Dig in. Oh wait, do u need me to help u feed Magica while u eat first?
Brad: (think) If it's not too much trouble.
Peepers: No problem. My food needs to cool a little anyways. Come, let Mr Peepers feed u ^w^ [blew at his food before feeding him a spoonful]
Magica: Papa~ (laugh) [happily nommed]
Brad: :) (took a bite of his own food)
Peepers: How's ur food?
Brad: (swallowed) Not bad, actually.
Peepers: Probably could recommend this place to Wander, if only Lord Hater has the patience to go thru their tests n questionnaires (dull)
Brad: (chuckle)
Peepers: N how's ur food, sweetness?
Magica: Muu~ [was eating happily]
Brad: :) I take he likes it too.
Peepers: Heh, that's good [his stomach growled a little] Eheheh... ^^;;
Brad: (chuckle) I think your pizza's cooled a little by now.
Peepers: Yeah, sure [made sure Magica had a mouthful of food before going to town with his food] Mmm, nice (tongueout)
Brad: ^^ (ate more of his burger and his fruit cocktail in between bites) :P Mm, dead dragon eyes.
Peepers: Wait, wat? [almost choked in his pizza] o_O
Brad: :O O-oh, sorry, I uh... ^^;; it was something I did as a kid, pretending the cherries in fruit cocktails were eyes of dead dragons. (short pause) What? You've never pretened your food was something, then devour it afterwards?
Peepers: Umm... No, not reli... Well... Sorta... [felt a little hesitant to say as he rubbed his neck awkwardly]
Brad: (also felt a little awkward) Yeah...sorry.
Peepers: I, uh... [sighed] I used to imagine stale bread was chocolate cake n ate it so tht it wouldn't taste as bad in my head wen I was a kid... :(
Brad: (blinked) Stale bread? Were you...? (wasn't sure about finishing the thought)
Peepers: Heh... Yeah, didn't grow up in a good family. Mom died aftr she gave birth to my younger sister, Dad became an alcoholic n didnt bother to look aftr us coz he'd drink himself into a coma, rinse n repeat the nxt day, then got evn worse wen our planet started dying n food was scarce... Iris n I only had each other, until... :( [was playing with his food as he talked]
Brad: :( ... I'm so sorry...
Peepers: She was already a pretty sick baby to begin with aftr she was born... Its a surprise she lasted tht long.... At least she's in a better plc n not suffering like we did wen the planet blew up n we ended up drifting in space dying before Lord Hater rescued us... [tries to blink bk his tears]
Brad: :( ... (got up from his seat to rub Peeper's back in comfort)
Magica: Papa? :(
Peepers: [discreetly wiped his tears away n tried to smile] Its all in the past now. Sorry for being such a killjoy. I didnt mean to spoil the mood
Brad: You didn't. :)
Peepers: [sees Brad's hand on his bk n blushed a little] Ahem... Better continue ur meal before it gets cold [continued eating his pizza] :$
Brad: (pulled his hand away) (blush) Right, right. (heads back to his seat and finishes his burger and cocktail)
Magica: (giggle) [giggled at their antics]
Peepers: Eat ur food, sweetness -///- [fed him another spoonful of mash to keep him occupied before he returned to his pizza]
Brad: (chuckle)
