[Brad n Peepers continued their lunch, making small talk, n soon aftr lunch, they made their way to a recreational park]
Peepers: Dang, this planet's air smells so much fresher than most nature I've been to [takes a deep breath] Ahh~~
Brad: (breathes in) :) It is nice... (sighed a little)
Magica: [tries to copy them] Ahh~ =w=
Peepers: [chuckled n ruffled his hair] Ur so adorable, u knw tht, sweetness?
Brad: (chuckle) He really is.
Peepers: I see a playground up ahead. Wanna let him play in it?
Brad: (nod) Sure thing.
[they made their way to the playground where there is a section for Magica's age to play in]
Peepers: Here u go, sweetness
Magica: Mwee~ [flails at all the amazing stuff for him to play with]
Brad: :) Where would you like to play first, honey?
Magica: Eee~ [pointed at the sandbox area]
Brad: (nod) (carries him over to sandbox)
Magica: Wee~ ^w^ [crawled ard the sandbox n had a blast playing]
Peepers: Hehe, I think we can find some plc to sit while we can keep an eye on him
Brad: (sees a bench nearby) :) There?
Peepers: [sees it] (nod) Yeah, that'll work
Brad: (goes over and sits)
Peepers: [sat next to him n watches Magica having fun with the sandbox] Heh, it's nice being just a kid, ain't it?
Brad: It sure is. (nod)
Peepers: [sat there for a moment, twiddling his things, a little nervous abt the awkward silence]
Brad: (cleared his throat, looking away)
Peepers: So... Ur grandparents... How are they? Wen was the last time u seen them?
Brad: It's...been a long time, now.
Peepers: Since Demurra, I presume?
Brad: ... Yeah.
Peepers: ...Was it worth it tho? Wat u did? I mean... U reli did love Demurra, right?
Brad: ... I had. But now...
Peepers: ....Sorry, I didn't mean it to be mean [puts his hand on Brad's]
Brad: I know... :( (gripped Peepers' hand in his)
Peepers: So... U reli did it, huh? Kill Demurra's fiance n all that with the witch's help?
Brad: Yeah... And the price I've paid, I honestly deserved it...
Peepers: No, not like that [squeezed his hand gently] I mean, maybe a bit of punishment, bt not like this, especially wen it's kids involved [gestured to Magica]
Brad: (looks to Magica) ... Think so?
Peepers: Yeah, n even if it does, u hv already paid for it. I dunno how long u hv been with tht witch before we found u, bt it's enough
Brad: Mhm... (looked away) Sometimes though... I can't help but worry about if anything has happened to Buns. She was the only friend I've had while with Vlax...
Peepers: U two hv gotten quite close, havent u?
Brad: We had, yeah. (nod)
Peepers: I don't want to give false hope, bt I also hope tht ur rabbit is OK
Brad: Mhm... (turned his attention back to Magica)
Peepers: [hesitated a bit, then slowly scooched a little closer to Brad quietly]
Brad: (also scooched closer) (blush)
Peepers: [squeezed his hand gently]
Brad: (squeezed back)
Peepers: [turns to face him, blushing a little] S... Starlight...?
Brad: Yes...Pumpkin? (blush)
Peepers: Pumpkin? Reli, ur calling me that? -///-
Brad: ^^;; You'd prefer something else?
Peepers: Ehh, dunno. Can't think of anything at the top of my head, bt...well, if u reli wanna call me that... =3=
Brad: (blush) So... you wanted to say something?
Peepers: Well, not reli... Umm... [leans close a little with his eye closed, trying to show wat he wanted]
Brad: :o (flushed, seeming to understand now... started to lean in as well)
Peepers: [leaned in closer until their lips finally met, then he gently kissed him]
Brad: (slightly shivered but also kissed him back)
Peepers: [felt the shiver n stopped a bit] Sorry, u want me to stop?
Brad: N-no... I'm okay...
Peepers: R u sure? If u want, I can stop...
Brad: I just...want to for once feel love... and not feeling used... :(
Peepers: I... I can't promise tht this is love, bt I can promise tht I'm not using u for anything. U don't hv to do anything u don't want to
Brad: With you, I know that... (blush)
Peepers: Then... Do u think ur feelings for me are real, even a little bit?
Brad: (bit his lip) Feels like they are...
Peepers: It's okay, u don't hv to rush or force urself, just go at ur pace and... [noticed] Umm, where's Magica?
Brad: What do you mean, isn't he right... (looks) there? o.o (sees him gone) O_O;; Magica??
[the sandbox where Magica was is empty]
Peepers: Shit [got off the bench in a flash] Magica?? Magica, where are you??
Brad: (also got up) Honey? Where are you, honey?? (worry)
Peepers: [looked ard n noticed tht the playground was abnormally empty, hell, even the park itself felt that way] Come to think of it... We were the only ones here with a kid... [thought bk some more] I just realized there's not a single kid in anywhere we've ever walked ard in, not even in the restaurant or in the streets...
Brad: But...why is that...?
Peepers: No time to wonder abt that, we'll find out wen we find Magica. Let's go bk to the ship to get ur sword. I packed it in there, just in case
Brad: (nod) Right.
[the duo made their way to Peepers' ship, where there were some ppl trying to dismantle it]
Peepers: Hey! Keep ur hands off our property!! [took out his gun he kept hidden in his pocket n shot at them]
Brad: And where's my baby??
[they just hissed n charged at them]
Peepers: Go grab ur sword, Starlight! I'll cover for u! [started shooting n kickboxing at the assailants]
Brad: (nod) (ran to get his sword)
Peepers: [was doing his best to cover Brad, bt he didn't notice one trying to sneak attack him from behind]
Brad: (looked back) :O Behind you, Pumpkin!
Peepers: :O [reacted a little too late as the assailant pounced onto him] DX Agh!
Brad: :O (felt a deep rage...) (angry) RAAAAGGH!! (charged forward with his sword)
Peepers: [tries his best to push the assailant off him, swinging punch aftr punch]
Brad: (gives his sword a swing at the assilant)
Peepers: [felt blood splatter on his face as the assailant's head was lopped off, then regain his composure as he fought n killed the last few assailants] Ugh, green blood. Why am I not surprised? (doh)
Brad: (angry) (kept swinging his sword at any of the assailants who came his way)
Peepers: [made his way to him] We better skiddadle outta here n keep searching, n put ur game face on, Starlight, n work up whatevr fighting skills u hv. We'll get Magica bk, I promise
Brad: (panted) ... Okay.
Peepers: C'mon [takes Brad's hand n shot at the remaining assailants before making their way bk to town n searched] Magica? Magica, sweetness, where are u??
Brad: Honey?? (worry)
Peepers: [more ppl started to attack them, in which he quickly shot them dwn] These motherfuckers dont give up, do they?
Brad: What's wrong with them? They seemed so much nicer from earlier.
Peepers: Dunno, its almost like they're actively trying to stop us frm getting to Magica
Brad: I swear if that's the case...!!
Peepers: We'll deal with them as we go, just keep searching, maybe go bk to the park n see if we can pick up a trail
Brad: (nod)
