[the gang soon arrived in town aftr 45 mins of driving]
Sylvia: (looks up at an upcoming store) That it?
Baxter: Nah, that's just a regular boutique, we're heading ovr there [pointed at a slightly fancier boutique up ahead]
Sylvia: :) Nice.
Brad: (nod)
Baxter: [parked the truck somewhere near the boutique] Here we are
Peepers: Oh, we're here? [looks up at the boutique] Ooh, classy
Brad: :) Sure is.
Peepers: [hops off] Let's go in then
Baxter: I'll be in the arcades across the street wen ur done
Brad & Sylvia: (climb out)
Peepers: [enters] Hello? Anyone here?
Owner: Hi, welcome to Blooming Hearts Wedding Boutique. How may I help u?
Sylvia: Yes, our friend here needs a suit for an upcoming occasion. (gestures to Brad)
Peepers: Maybe throw in a dress for this little cutie as well [gestured at Angel]
Owner: No problem. Come, the men's section is right here [leads Brad to that section]
Brad: :) (follows)
Owner: [leads them to the men's section where there were an array of suits r available] Take ur time to choose
Peepers: We will
Brad: (nod) Thank you, sir.
Peepers: So, anything catch ur eye, Starlight?
Brad: (looks around) Hmm.
[there were half a dozen of shelves filled with men's suits, some with different shades of colours for each design]
Brad: Looking around to see which one appealed to him the most)
Peepers: Wat abt this one? [pointed at a generic, normal-looking black suit]
Brad: (looks at it) Seems too simple.
Peepers: [sees a dark blue one, almost midnight colour] Wat abt this?
Brad: ...(nod) Possibly.
Peepers: So? Decided on anything?
Brad: (picks out both a navy blue suit and a dark red suit) Which one looks best on me?
Peepers: [rubbed his chin] Hmm... Maybe a mix of both? Something that matches ur usual hero attire, like... [takes the pants of the navy blue suit n the top of the dark red suit n puts them together] There, a nice combo
Brad: (thinks a moment) (nod) Sure.
Peepers: Maybe u can bring Angel to find a dress for her, Syl, while I help Starlight here with testing his suit
Sylvia: (nod) Sure thing.
Brad: (hands Angel to her)
Angel: [whined] Pa? [was wondering why Brad passed her to Sylvia]
Sylvia: He's gonna be busy for a little bit, kiddo. :) How about we pick out your dress in the meantime?
Angel: Wee~~! :D
Sylvia: (chuckle)
(in the toddler's section)
Sylvia: (picks out a white poofy dress) :) How about this one?
Angel: [poked at the poofy dress n giggled] Nyah! :p
Sylvia: Okay. (picks out a pink one decorated with strawberries) This one? You might smell like strawberries~ :p
Angel: [sniffed at the strawberries, then nommed at it, her face scrunching wen the "strawberries" had no taste] Blah! ;p
Sylvia: Hehe. (picks out a simple yellow one) This one, then?
Angel: [looked at the simple colour, blew raspberries at it n yawned] (yawn)
Sylvia: ^^;; Okay... What one do you pick then?
Angel: [looked abt, then sees a velvet red one decorated with tiny roses at the hem n a butterfly on the chest area of the dress, n the skirt itself was quite poofy] Muu! [pointed happily at it]
Sylvia: ^^ (picks it for her) :)
Angel: [hugs the dress happily]
Sylvia: (giggle) You're cute, kiddo. You know that?
Angel: Nyah :p [poked at the poof on her dress] Poof! (giggle)
Sylvia: :)
Owner: [came to chk on them] Oh hello, found wat ur looking for?
Sylvia: Just dress-searching for this little lady. Think she's made her pick. (giggle)
Owner: [sees the dress] Ooh, she's got good taste there. How is ur friend doing with his suit?
Sylvia: Busy trying on a few.
Owner: Just lemme knw if he's ready. Shall I hold onto the dress for u at the counter?
Angel: [hugs the dress possessively] Nyah!
Sylvia: (chuckle) You don't want the dress getting messy, do you, kiddo?
Angel: Hmmm.... [pouted, then handed the dress to the owner]
Owner: Good girl, u will get it bk once ur daddy's done, eh?
Sylvia: (nod)
Angel: Kay~
Owner: [brought the dress to the cashier counter]
Sylvia: Let's go see how your daddy's doing, shall we?
Angel: Wee~~!! [raise her arms up happily]
Sylvia: ^^ (heads back to Brad and Peepers, holding Angel)
Peepers: Welcome bk, Syl. Find anything?
Angel: [leans forward to try n reach her daddy]
Sylvia: (nod) She found her dress choice, the owner's just holding onto it.
Brad: (takes Angel) Hey, little butterfly^^
Angel: [giggled n nuzzled him]
Peepers: [gestured at Brad who is wearing the suit] Wat do u think, Syl?
Sylvia: (looks) :) Suits ya Brad.
Brad: :) Thanks.
Angel: [giggled n pulled happily at Brad's suit]
Brad: Now, now sweetie, Daddy needs this for the wedding.
Peepers: So ur getting this one then?
Brad: (nod) Yup.
Peepers: Right, let's get this to the owner n wrap it up then
Sylvia: :) Yup.
[The gang made their way to the counter with Brad's suit of choice]
Owner: Oh, hey there, hv u made ur choice?
Peepers: Yes, but we were wondering if its OK that they're a combination of different suits [shows her the suit] We thought the pants frm one suit n the top frm another suit looks best on him
Brad: If it's possible, sir.
Owner: I'm sorry, we're not too keen on mixing n matching, all the suits hv to come in a set. I'm afraid u hv to buy both suits if u want to get that combination
Brad: Oh, I see... Well, it wasn't easy choosing one of them so I guess it would work.
Peepers: Can't u make an exception? We've come all this way
Owner: Sorry, rules are rules
??: Well, well, fancy seeing u here. Who got hitched?
Peepers: [turned to see the familiar snout poking in] Oh no... Not that fish face...
Sylvia: :| I swear to gob...
Angel: :( (hides her face in Brad's chest)
Brad: It's okay, butterfly.
Awesome: [struts in in all his glory, his second in command Knucklehead following behind him] Ooh, just u, little eyeball? N ooh, hey there, Bee, long time no see (smirk) [wriggled his eyebrows flirtingly]
Sylvia: :| That's SYLVIA to you.
Awesome: [sees Brad] N who's this prince charming here? Don't tell me ur getting hitched with tht pretty boy, Bee [ignoring her remark]
Peepers: No, she is getting married to me, u fish face
Awesome: U?? Chick like her marrying YOU?! Don't make me laugh (rofl)
Sylvia: :| I am getting married to him. At least he can handle this, unlike YOU.
Brad: (frowns, comforting Angel)
Awesome: [blinked] Wow, ur serious, huh? Ur actually gonna marry that pipsqueak? [snorted] Sure, with his size, I'm sure he can "handle" u just fine [patted Peepers' head, emphasising his height n size]
Peepers: None of ur beeswax whether I can handle her or not (thinks: I hope I can tho) Wat the heck r u doing here? Don't tell me ur getting hitched too
Awesome: Pfft! A party man like me NVR settles dwn. If u must knw, I'm getting a suit to attend someone else getting hitched
Sylvia: |-( We don't recall you on the guest list.
Awesome: Obviously not, since this is the first I've heard of u guys getting hitched. No, I'm invited to my friend's wedding in the 7th galaxy. He's got a thing for the reds n blues, so me as the bestman hv to get something tht matches
Peepers: Red n blue? Wat kind of... (idea) [an idea clicked] ...something like this? [shows him the other half of the suit combo: blue top n red bottom]
Brad: ?
Sylvia: Uh, Peepers, what're you doing?
Peepers: Well, the owner said we can't do mix n match, n we hv to buy both suits to make this combo, so why not we just pay for one of the suit each n then just swap the tops n bottoms we want?
Awesome: Hmm... Sounds decent enough. I guess u can hv good ideas once in a while, unlike tht bonehead
Peepers: Wat do u mean "once in a while" there, fish face?
Sylvia: :| Yeah, what do you mean by that?
Awesome: |-( Whatevr, lets just pay for the suits n get it ovr with [takes the blue suit]
Peeper: Don't u wanna try it first?
Awesome: [peeked at Brad's physique, then stood nxt to him shoulder to shoulder to compare sizes, then shrugged] Ehh, we're more less the same size. I'm good. Besides, I've got a tailor on board my ship who can make changes
Peepers: |-( Of course u do
Brad: ^^;;
Sylvia: |-(
Awesome: [forked out the money n paid for the blue suit] Ur turn, eyeball
Peepers: Hmph, dont need to tell me twice [paid for the red suit, then swapped the pants with Awesome]
Brad: (comforting Angel who was still afraid of Awesome)
Awesome: Right, gtg. Cya. Good luck on ur wedding, Bee. If u need a shoulder to cry on wen tht eyeball can't handle u, feel free to ask bonehead for my number [laughs as he left]
Peepers: Gee, ur welcome! [snorted frustratedly] The nerve of him...
Sylvia: Tell me about it.
Peepers: [passes the suit to Brad] Here u go, on the house
Brad: :) Thanks. (looks to Angel) He's gone now, sweetie, he's gone now.
Angel: :(?
Peepers: Dont worry, princess. He's all bark bt no bite. He won't hurt a fly, tho he can annoy them to death |-(
Sylvia: (nod)
Peepers: Lets go, Baxter might be waiting for us a while, tho I bet he's in no hurry to go home :D
Sylvia: :) Yeah, let's.

Peepers: We're here. Better give the Dingleberry-s a ring so tht we can land on their property [dials their home number]

Shelly: :) Hey, Mr. Peepers. And okay.
Peepers: Alright, we'll wait on the line. Go ask ur mom

Mrs Dingleberry: [poked her head out of the kitchen] Yes, sweetie?
Shelly: :) Mommy and Mr. Peepers are here. They're waiting to land.
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh, they're here?! That's wonderful! Tell them to land on the open fields beyond the lake area. There's plenty of space for a designated parking area
Shelly: (tells Peepers where to land the ship)
Peepers: Got it, cya soon, sweetness
Sylvia: :) We good to land?
Peepers: Yup, just out where we usually hung out at the lake area
Sylvia: (nod) Alright.

Peepers: Alright, we're here. Time to meet the Dingleberry-s
Wander: Ooh, can't wait :d
Hater: I bet. ^^

Peepers: Glad to be bk, Jim
Shelly: (hurries out past Jim) Mommy!
Sylvia: (scoops her up) :D Hey, kiddo. (hugs her)
Mr Dingleberry: [chuckles] I swear, nxt to the missus, she's very excited abt this event. I swear that's all the ladies ever talk abt since u announced ur engagement. Its like as if THEY'RE the ones getting married
Peepers: Can't blame them. Its her real mom's wedding after all. Where's Marsha?
Mr Dingleberry: Bk in the house cooking up a storm. Us men r not allowed in the kitchen, which is fine by me (think)
Shelly: (giggle)
Sylvia: I see. ^^
Peepers: Oh right, lemme introduce u to my gang. Here's Wander n his little batch of litters
Wander: Howdy do? (wave)
Peepers: N his husband n my boss, Lord Hater
Shelly: :) He's the famous guy you've traveled around with, mommy? (referring to Wander)
Sylvia: ^^; You might say that.
Wander: N u must be little Shelly. Howdy do? My, ur as pretty as ur mommy here
Mr Dingleberry: [shook Hater's hand] Pls to meet ya, sir. I've heard so much abt u n ur wife frm these two
Hater: :) Nice meeting you too.
Shelly: (giggle)
Sylvia: :)
Peepers: N here's Brad Starlight n his girl. Old acquaintance n a tag along for the ride due to special circumstances
Mr Dingleberry: Pleased to meet u [held out his hand to shake]
Brad: (shakes hand) :) Same here, sir.
Angel: ^^
Mr Dingleberry: Well let's get in n meet the missus n the rest of the family, shall we?
Peepers: Rest of the family? U don't mean...
Mr Dingleberry: Oh yes, all my 10 biological kids r here. But don't worry, they won't be spending the night here, they hv accommodation at the town hotel. They're just here for this special occasion
Wander: Can't wait to meet 'em ^^;;
Sylvia: ^^;; ALL of them?...
Mr Dingleberry: Yup, ALL of them, wife n kids n all. Blame the missus for inviting them. At least 2 of my kids who r still single will be staying with us, the rest will stay at the hotel
Peepers: Oh boy...
Sylvia: Yup. >>;;
[As they feared, once they reached the ranch, they were greeted with the sight of a huge crowd of octo-s chatting amongst themselves, n kids running ard the fields having fun with themselves, with Baxter n Mrs Dingleberry in the mix]
Mrs Dingleberry: [sees them approaching] Oh there they are! Yoohoo~~
Wander: :O [if he were a skeletor, his jaw would've literally dropped right now]
Peepers: Oh boy, u weren't kidding wen u said they got 10 kids, Syl
Sylvia: I did tell you that. >_>;;
Hater: O___O;;;
Brad: :O
Peepers: Do u still evn remember their names at this point, Syl?
Sylvia: ^^;; Nope.
Peepers: I figured as much [reaches the group] Hey, Marsha, how r u? Thanks for letting us use ur ranch for our wedding
Mrs Dingleberry, Oh, pfft, its my pleasure. Its also the least I can do aftr u two bravely rescued my little Shelly.
Peepers: Marsha, this is Wander n Hater, the ones we told u abt, n here's Brad, our tag along
Wander: Howdy do?
Mrs Dingleberry: Pleasure to finally meet u, dearies
Hater: uh... hey. o.o (still in shock of that many family members)
Mrs Dingleberry: Oh where are my manners? Here, come, come, lemme officially introduce u to my kids [started introducing them to all her 10 kids, plus Baxter]
Baxter: Yo. Don't be too alarmed by the crowd. U'll get used to it aftr a few yrs
Wander: [mentally tries to remember the names] (think: Sacha, Helga, Hilda, Timothy, Ashley, Robert, Ambrose, Bedelia, and twins Nelly and Norman. I think I got it all dwn)
Hater: O_o;;
Baxter: [chuckled at evryone's facial expression] Like I said, u'll get used to it. Shelly n I were like u guys the first time Mama introduced her kids to us
Peepers: I suppose I shouldn't be surprised now since we've got someone who's got 10 kids of their own [glanced at Wander]
Wander: Eheheh... [scratched his chin bashfully]
Hater: ^^;;; Y-yeah...
Sylvia: ^^;;
Mrs Dingleberry: U guys must be tired. I haven't reli set up rooms for u guys coz I dunno whether u want to stay with us in the house or at the hotel...
Peepers: I don't think it'll be a problem, we can always stay in our ship. We've got plenty of room there. No need to trouble u guys
Mrs Dingleberry: R u sure? I feel bad for not being hospitable
Sylvia: Nope, it's fine. ^^;
Mrs Dingleberry: Well, if u insist. Sorry for not being more helpful
Peepers: U letting us hv our wedding at ur plc is very helpful indeed, no need to go the extra mile
Wander: Speaking of help, do u need any? Looks like u got ur hands full
Mrs Dingleberry: Well, some of my kids r helping me with the decor n the setup outside, but I do need an extra hand in the kitchen...
Wander: Lead the way
Hater: And me?
Mr Dingleberry: U can help us out with the rest of the decors n setup, if ur not too busy
Peepers: I can help out too
Mr Dingleberry: No, no, ur the groom, u don't need to do this. Just handle ur other wedding stuff, we'll take care of the rest [leads Hater away]
Peepers: Well, that just leaves u, me and Brad, Syl. Wat should we do?
Sylvia: (shrugs) Not sure either.
Brad: Hmm.
Peepers: Hv u managed to order ur dress yet, Syl?
Sylvia: (nod) Yup. And a few other things. (smirk)
Peepers: Sweet. I look forward to seeing u wearing it ^^ Which means we need to get something nice for Brad to wear on that day
Brad: You don't have to do that, you know.
Sylvia: We wouldn't mind helping you find a suit. That right, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: Of course. Since ur a tag along, ur pretty much invited to our shindig, n u should look the part. Ur wardrobe leaves much to be desired, honestly
Brad: (nod) Alright then.
Angel: (giggle)
Peepers: Right. Lemme see if I can borrow a car frm the Dingleberry-s [approaches Baxter] Hey, kid. Got a car we can borrow to go to town? We need to get something for Brad here to wear
Baxter: U going to town? Pls take me with u. I'll drive u there [whispered] I need air frm all this crazy crowd. Pls~
Sylvia: Well... ^^;; How well can you drive?
Baxter: I'm of age, I can drive. I've been driving Pa's farm tractor since I was 14. I can drive a car. We got our family truck right there near the barn
Peepers: Well, I guess u deserve a break frm the crowd. Show us to ur truck then
Baxter: Right this way [leads them to the family truck]
Sylvia & Brad: (also follow)
[they were soon at the barn where the truck was parked]
Baxter: Here it is, good ol' Betsy
Peepers: U guys named ur truck 'Betsy'?
Baxter: Pa's daddy named it actually. He got it for his birthday present n passed it on to Pa
Sylvia: Hm. :)
Baxter: Right, hop in. There's only enough room for two at the passenger's side, so one of u hv to sit at the bk
Peepers: I can sit at the bk, its too dangerous for a kid to be there. U two can take the passenger seat
Sylvia: (nod) (gets in)
Brad: (climbs in with Angel)
Peepers: [climbs onto the bk of the truck]
Baxter: All aboard? Lets go [starts the engine n drove]
Sylvia: (glances out window)
Brad: (holding onto Angel)
Peepers: [held onto the side n sat tight]
Peepers: We're here. Better give the Dingleberry-s a ring so tht we can land on their property [dials their home number]
Sylvia: :)
[The phone rang for a bit before it was Shelly who picked up the phone]
Shelly: Hello?
Peepers: Hey sweetness, its me, Peepers. I'm almost there at ur plc. Can u ask ur mom if we can land on ur area?

Tears of The Rose-Chp105
[Finally the wedding preparations were on the way. The Dingleberry-s were informed (much to Mrs Dingleberry's excitement) n soon they were ready to leave Janet]
Janet: I reli wish u guys could stay till my sprouts r matured
Wander: That'll take too long, Janet. We've got a wedding to catch, n Hatey needs to carry on with his conquering business
Sylvia: But we will still try and visit when we can.
Janet: I'll hold u to tht promise, Sylvia
Wander: I'm gonna miss u [hugs Janet]
Janet: Ditto here. U better keep treating Wandy-poo right now, u hear, bonehead?
Hater: ^^;; yes, ma'am.
Wander: I look forward to see the sprouts again nxt time we come visit, n look forward to see u too, Maurice. U take good care of Janet as well, eh?
Maurice: (nod) Will do.
[The gang waved goodbye to the planet n soon took off to the direction of the Dingleberry-s home planet]
Sylvia: (standing near the window with Wander)
Wander: [watched till the planet was but a speck in the galaxy] So long, Janet, till nxt time
Sylvia: :) Indeed.
Peepers: Nxt stop, the Dingleberry-s [keyed in the coordinates n soon chartered the ship to its destination]
Sylvia: :) You might really like this family, Wander.
Wander: I look forward to meeting them :) I bet Hatey might like 'em too
Sylvia: (giggle) Yeah.
Wander: I also look forward to meeting ur Shelly. I bet she takes aftr u, buddy
Sylvia: In a way.
Wander: Anything I should be worried abt the Dingleberry-s? Any...eccentricities?
Sylvia: For one thing... she has a PRETTY large family.
Wander: Oh? How big? Like my litters big?
Sylvia: She's got about ten kids that have families of their own.
Wander: [mentally calculated it n cringed] Yeesh...
Sylvia: Yeah, and They might be, well, invited to the event. ^^;;
Wander: Oi vey, n I thought my Aunt Georgina's family was big... :|
Sylvia: ^^;; Uh huh, yeah.
Wander: Hate to say it, but let's just hope some of them r too busy to make it
Sylvia: Who knows.
Janet: I reli wish u guys could stay till my sprouts r matured
Wander: That'll take too long, Janet. We've got a wedding to catch, n Hatey needs to carry on with his conquering business
Sylvia: But we will still try and visit when we can.
Janet: I'll hold u to tht promise, Sylvia
Wander: I'm gonna miss u [hugs Janet]
Janet: Ditto here. U better keep treating Wandy-poo right now, u hear, bonehead?
Hater: ^^;; yes, ma'am.
Wander: I look forward to see the sprouts again nxt time we come visit, n look forward to see u too, Maurice. U take good care of Janet as well, eh?
Maurice: (nod) Will do.
[The gang waved goodbye to the planet n soon took off to the direction of the Dingleberry-s home planet]
Sylvia: (standing near the window with Wander)
Wander: [watched till the planet was but a speck in the galaxy] So long, Janet, till nxt time
Sylvia: :) Indeed.
Peepers: Nxt stop, the Dingleberry-s [keyed in the coordinates n soon chartered the ship to its destination]
Sylvia: :) You might really like this family, Wander.
Wander: I look forward to meeting them :) I bet Hatey might like 'em too
Sylvia: (giggle) Yeah.
Wander: I also look forward to meeting ur Shelly. I bet she takes aftr u, buddy
Sylvia: In a way.

[Meanwhile, Peepers has located Hater in the mother ship, sitting in the navigation room just staring at the galaxy map absentmindedly]
Peepers: [knocked on the door] ....Sir?
Hater: (blinked)... Oh, hey, C Peeps.
Peepers: Hey, sir... U OK there?
Hater: (looks away) ...I understand if you're mad with me.
Peepers: [blinked] Mad at u? Abt wat?
Hater: (looks back) ... :( For delaying your wedding like this.
Peepers: Huh, I was gonna ask u guys if ur ready. There's nothing to be sorry abt. We did ask u to take a break, we just feel a little awkward asking u guys if break's ovr. We didnt want to come as insensitive
Hater: ...I just feel like I'm forcing myself to be okay now...
Peepers: I did tell u not to force it, bt I'm just hoping tht u can be OK enough for our big day. I don't wanna sound selfish, bt I dont wanna disappoint Syl on our big day either... [rubbed the bk of his neck awkwardly]
Hater:... I guess I'll be okay.
Peepers: Thanks. If anything, I'm worried tht I'M the one forcing u instead of urself reli, I should be the one to be sorry...
Hater: (places hand on the Watchdog's shoulder) It's okay.
Peepers: If ur reli sure, then I'll make the call to the Dingleberry-s to confirm the venue
Hater: (nod) I'm sure.
Peepers: Cool. U got ur outfit for being my best man yet, sir?
Hater: Well, if it's okay, I might just use the tux I wore at me and Wander's wedding.
Peepers: As long as u don't outshine me as the groom, I'm good (smirk)
Hater: Try not to. :p
Peepers: Right, I'll go make the call now. I'll let u knw as soon as we're ready to set sail to the Dingleberry-s
Hater: (nod)
Peepers: [knocked on the door] ....Sir?
Hater: (blinked)... Oh, hey, C Peeps.
Peepers: Hey, sir... U OK there?
Hater: (looks away) ...I understand if you're mad with me.

[due to the tragedy, Sylvia n Peepers decided to let Wander rest up n recuperate for at least a mth, bt they knew they couldnt put off the wedding any longer as the Dingleberry-s were reli looking forward to it]
Sylvia: (sitting in the living room, hands fiddling)
Peepers: [shows up n sat nxt to her] Hey, Syl. U OK?
Sylvia: ...Have you contacted them? (referring to the Dingleberrys)
Peepers: Not yet, I need to knw if Wander n Lord Hater r ready for it before I call them to confirm the venue. I did contact them the day after the funeral to tell them our wedding will be on hold, n they said we can take as much time as we need, but I don't think it's fair to keep them waiting either
Sylvia: I know, but Hater and Wander just went through a pretty rough thing. Wander's still needing his rest.
Peepers: But its been a mth since the funeral now, n we've already planned everything for mths during Wander's pregnancy, I just don't feel right to postpone it any longer. I just... [sighed] I just don't want u to think tht I don't care abt all this, tht I care more abt others than u, n its ur big day, u hv been looking forward to this since u started crushing on me... I don't want to disappoint u... [blushed a little as he scratched his chin]
Sylvia: ... (pulls him close with her tail, embracing him)
Peepers: [hugged her bk] ....Sorry... Does this make me selfish?
Sylvia: I know you don't mean to be like that. Just, a lot of stuff has happened...
Peepers: Should we ask Hater n Wander at least? See if they're ready?
Sylvia: ...You go check on Hater, I'll check Wander.
Peepers: Sure, no probs [made his way to look for Hater]
Sylvia: (makes her way to see Wander)
Wander: [was at the front porch with the older litter playing at his feet while the newer litter nursing frm him as he was doing some knitting n chit-chatting with Janet]
Janet: Oh hey, Sylvia. How's ur day?
Sylvia: Okay, I guess. How do you feel?
Wander: I'm good. Knitting some new clothes for the skeletor pups, poor things hv no fur n can't exactly keep warm like their nomad siblings do
Janet: [had a feeling they might need some private time n pretended to look away] Wat's that, Maury? U calling me? I think I better go. Maurice is calling me [slinks away into the dirt]
Wander: [blinked n shrugged, continuing his knitting]
Sylvia: (sits next to him) Look, Wander, I know you don't mean to make me and Peepers' wedding delay.
Wander: Huh? [looks up] Wait, how long hv I taken a break?
Sylvia: Been quite a while, buddy.
Wander: As in how long a while?
Sylvia: A month.
Wander: A mth? :o Has it been tht long? Why didn't u tell me sooner?
Sylvia: We didn't want you to feel like we didn't care about your loss and more about our wedding and such.
Wander: I knw u told me we should take a break, but I didn't think u actually put it off for so long for us :( Now I feel terrible, I'm so sorry...
Sylvia: (hugs him) Don't be, buddy.
Wander: We've been buddies for yrs, Syl. U knw u can come to me if u need anything, n in this case, u definitely need me. Its ur big day. I shouldn't be selfish either. Nvr hurts to help, right? ;)
Sylvia: (giggle) Right.
Wander: So~? Do I get to be the bridesmaid or something? :)
Sylvia: (nod) Yup.
Janet: [hollered frm a distance] He should be the maid of honour! Its the least u can do!
Wander: Janet! Stop eavesdropping! :D
Janet: Oops, Maurice is calling me again! [slinks away]
Wander: [shook his head in amusement] Tht Janet...
Sylvia: (giggle) Also, do you still have that catelog? The one where you picked out your wedding outfit?
Wander: Oh yeah, I still hv it inside my hat. Why? I thought u guys hv already decided on evrything
Sylvia: Yeah, but I haven't really thought about what type of dress I'd like.
Wander: Alright, lemme just get it for ya [digs ard the hat n found the catalogue] Here we go. Knock urself out
Sylvia: :) Thanks, buddy. (starts to look through it)
Wander: [continued his knitting, tho glanced at the catalogue once in a while to see if anything sparked his fancy for Sylvia] Ooh, wat abt tht one? [pointed at a purple frilly princess-style dress]
Sylvia: No, not really. ^^;; (continues looking)
Wander: [glanced again] Wat abt tht one? [pointed at a yellow ballroom-ish dress, also a little frilly]
Sylvia: I don't think I wanna go for a frilly look.
Wander: Aww, but they might look good on u tho. Wat do u hv in mind? Any ideas?
Sylvia: Just maybe something that no one else has worn at their wedding yet. (looks through a few more pages)... (stops at one) Like that, perhaps...
Wander: [turned to looked at the catalogue] Like wat?
(the page showed a dress that was white at the top with see-through sleeves but the bottom part of the gown faded into a dark blue color with sparkles represeting stars)
Wander: Wooowww~~~ (hearteyes) That is PERFECT! U reli should get that! Its absolutely perfect!
Sylvia: :) Think so, huh? (checks the price of it)
Wander: I knw so. N the price is just only a liiiiiiiittle tad on the high side. Bt its ur big day. U reli should get it
Sylvia: (nod) Definately.
Wander: Now that's settled, maybe u can help me find a maid of honour outfit too :D
Sylvia: (giggle) Sure thing.
Wander: Ooh, maybe something tht looks almost like my wedding outfit last time, but slightly plainer than tht
Sylvia: (gives him the catelog) :)
Wander: [put dwn his knitting n flipped thru the catalogue, then sees a light blue dress robes almost similar to his wedding outfit, a cross btwn a dress n a tux, n the price was just right] Ooh maybe this one
Sylvia: :) Looks good.
Wander: Better make the call before they're sold out
Sylvia: True.
Sylvia: (sitting in the living room, hands fiddling)
Peepers: [shows up n sat nxt to her] Hey, Syl. U OK?

[meanwhile Peepers was at the kitchen with Hater, fixing him up a drink to make him feel better]
Peepers: Wat would u like to drink, sir?
Hater: (was quiet for a moment)...just some warm milk, C Peeps...
Peepers: Coming right up, sir [pour the milk into the pan to heat it] ....U gonna be OK, sir? I mean, I knw its still raw for u but...
Hater: It's...it's not gonna be easy to get over this...
Peepers: I knw, bt ur gonna hv to be strong, for the furball n ur litters
Hater: I know...but...have you...ever lost someone despite barely knowing them...?
Peepers: I...can't say I hv... Well, if u count my mother. She died at childbirth giving birth to me, so I nvr knew her, n my father nvr remarried, so its just me n Dad until The Colonists invaded our planet, then he died abt 3 weeks before u showed up to liberate us, so... yeah... same difference, I guess?
Hater: I suppose...
Peepers: I suppose the only advice I can give is tht u can't dwell too much on it, it wouldnt be fair to ur new litters, they might end up blaming themselves for being alive n not their unborn sibs [turned off the fire once the milk is heated n poured it for Hater] Here u go, sir
Hater:...Guess you're right, I shouldn't let them feel that way. (takes the drink and sips) Thanks, C Peeps.
Peepers: No prob. Just hang in there. Don't mourn for too long. Try to move on, for the sake of ur family, bt dont force urself
Hater: (nod) Mhm.
Peepers: So I hope I'm not being too forward, bt I hope u'd be my best man at my wedding, sir
Hater: (thinks about it)... :) Sure thing.
Peepers: ^^ Great, coz Syl was thinking of asking Wander to be his maid of honour before... well, wat just happened...
Hater: ...You mean the...?
Peepers: Yeah, ur unborn pups thing... I just hope he's OK with it if Syl asked him
Hater: Me too.
Peepers: Wat would u like to drink, sir?
Hater: (was quiet for a moment)...just some warm milk, C Peeps...

[They were soon bk at the cabin, n they all went their separate ways]
Wander: [made his way to the room to chk on the new litter, only to see Brad n Angel n the old litter with the new litter] Oh, hey, Bradley
Brad: (looks up) Hey... you gonna be okay?
Wander: [smiled sadly] Not reli, but I will in time. Sorry to trouble u with the kids [smiled as the older pups crawled happily towards him] Hey there, sweetie [carried them in his arms]
Brad: I see... it must be hard to lose a child so soon...
Wander: I... I can't help thinking it was my fault... Something I did... Or DIDN'T do... If I knew, maybe they would've... ;(
Brad: :(
Angel: (squirms in her father's arms as she's put down to waddle over to Wander) :(
Wander: [didn't see Angel coming towards him as he was sobbing his eyes out]
Angel: (hugs Wander) ;(
Wander: [felt her hug] Oh... Hey sweetie, why r u crying?
Brad: She's sensed your sadness... doesn't like seeing people be sad about anything.
Wander: Oh sweetie... [hugs her bk] Its OK, I'll be alright... ;( [couldn't help sobbing as he hugged her tight, heart still aching frm his loss]
Brad: :(
Litter: (coo in worry)
Wander: [slowly got it out of his system for the moment as he sniffles n looked up at Brad] I hope the litters weren't too much trouble
Brad: Not at all.
Wander: [comes up to bed to chk on the new litter, who, just like the old litter bk then, had their eyes born fused together n cuddling together with each other to keep warm] Aww, r u cold, sweeties? [puts a warm blanket ovr the new litter]
*knock knock knock*
Wander: [looks up] Come in
Sylvia: (pokes her head in) Hey, buddy. Just wanted to check on you.
Wander: [smiled] Hey, Syl. I'm good, getting ready to feed the litter right now [puts on the suction cups n guide the tubes to both the new n old litter]
Sylvia: :) ... You now, there's this thing my Ma used to tell me and my brothers about where people go when they... pass on.
Wander: ....Wat is it?
Sylvia: Well...how do I put this? (sits next to him) When people...die, there's a chance they'll someday be reborn into completely different people and lead completely different lives. So who knows? Maybe someday Hope and Destiny will be out there helping another family be happy... (looks away) Sorry, I'm just trying to lighten things...
Wander: ....Thanks, Syl, tht actually makes me feel a lot better... knwing tht they're OK... somewhere... :) [smiled thru his tears]
Sylvia: (pets his head) ^^ Never hurts to help, like you always say.
Wander: (chuckle) [giggled a little, wiping his tears] So u guys decided on a wedding venue or anything? Its kinda, well, vague, wen I was in feral state bt I think I heard Hater talking to me one time wen he was feeding me, telling me tht, well, u n Peeps r engaged?
Sylvia: (blushes) Y-yeah, me and Peepers picked a place. Where we found my little girl, and I've a feeling you'll really like her adopted family. :)
Wander: Reli? We nvr got to talk abt them, coz... u knw, me being pregnant n feral. I was looking forward to hear ur tales of u n Peeps finding ur girl wen we come bk frm honeymoon
Sylvia: Well... (tells him about how it went reunite with Shelly and how she got to know the family)
Wander: Wow, n u guys actually ran into ur ex? N Peeps made him... umm... [not sure how to put it in words]
Sylvia: Well, he at least didn't let Shelly witness that happening. What matters is Ryder is gone now.
Wander: (nod) Yeah, at least he had the decency to do tht... Ur not upset tht Peeps made ur ex do...wat it was he did?
Sylvia: Ryder had it coming...
Wander: OK... So r the foster family OK with u guys choosing their plc as ur venue?
Sylvia: ^^;; Shelly's adopted mom pretty much insisted.
Wander: Ah, the friendly hospitable type, eh? Now I definitely want to meet her (giggle) But maybe after my recovery
Sylvia: :) Yeah, we wanted to wait till you were feeling better to do the wedding, cause I know you'd love to be part of it. ^^
Wander: U knw me too well, buddy. Umm, is Brad invited? [gestured at Brad who is still there, playing patty cake with Angel]
Sylvia: I...suppose he can join us.
Wander: Sweet! Hey, Bradley~ Sylvia said ur invited to their wedding ^^
Brad: :) Really?
Sylvia: Yeah, just be sure you behave yourself.
Brad; No worries, I'll mostly be busy with my little butterfly. ^^
Wander: Heh, I bet u would be. Kids can be a handful in a new environment
Sylvia: Yup. (looks away, smiling to herself)
Wander: [noticed the smile n nudged her a little] Thinking of something nice there, buddy?
Sylvia: (looks back at him) Welll... I just have the feeling Shelly might like a little sibling, so... :)
Wander: Ooh, someone's thinking ahead. Getting ahead of urself, arent u? (smirk)
Sylvia: ^^;; Is that bad?
Wander: No, not reli. Glad ur thinking abt the future. Just hope Peeps sees it the same way u do
Sylvia: Who knows. (nod)
Wander: [noticed both litters finally had their fill] Oh, ur done? Syl? Brad? Can u guys help me burp the older litter while I burp the younger ones?
Brad: (nod) Sure.
Sylvia: (nod) Okay.
Wander: [removed the feeding tubes frm the litter n passes the older litter to the two]
Brad: (Burps a few)
Sylvia: (does the same)
Wander: [burped the new litter] There we go, nice n full, sweeties
Sylvia: :)
Wander: [settles the new litter into the crib, tucking them in as they slept, gesturing Sylvia n Brad to do them same for the older litter] Time for their nap now
Sylvia & Brad: (place the babies they were burping inside crib)
Wander: [tucks them all in, huddle them together close so tht they could get warm] :) There we go [turns to Sylvia n Brad] Thanks, u guys
Brad: (nod)
Sylvia: (rubs Wander's back)
Wander: [looks dwn at his sleeping litters] Maybe wen they're older, I'll bring them here, to see their unborn siblings
Sylvia: If you feel that's the right thing, buddy.
Wander: [thought a bit] .... (nod) I knw it is, they deserve to knw
Sylvia: (hugs him) Just hope you'll be okay.
Wander: Yeah, I will be, buddy... Eventually... [leaned against Sylvia sadly]
Sylvia: (nuzzles his head, comforting him)
Wander: [made his way to the room to chk on the new litter, only to see Brad n Angel n the old litter with the new litter] Oh, hey, Bradley
Brad: (looks up) Hey... you gonna be okay?

Sylvia: :) ... You now, there's this thing my Ma used to tell me and my brothers about where people go when they... pass on.
Wander: ....Wat is it?
Sylvia: Well...how do I put this? (sits next to him) When people...die, there's a chance they'll someday be reborn into completely different people and lead completely different lives. So who knows? Maybe someday Hope and Destiny will be out there helping another family be happy... (looks away) Sorry, I'm just trying to lighten things...
Wander: ....Thanks, Syl, tht actually makes me feel a lot better... knwing tht they're OK... somewhere... :) [smiled thru his tears]
Sylvia: (pets his head) ^^ Never hurts to help, like you always say.
Wander: (chuckle) [giggled a little, wiping his tears] So u guys decided on a wedding venue or anything? Its kinda, well, vague, wen I was in feral state bt I think I heard Hater talking to me one time wen he was feeding me, telling me tht, well, u n Peeps r engaged?
Sylvia: (blushes) Y-yeah, me and Peepers picked a place. Where we found my little girl, and I've a feeling you'll really like her adopted family. :)
Wander: Reli? We nvr got to talk abt them, coz... u knw, me being pregnant n feral. I was looking forward to hear ur tales of u n Peeps finding ur girl wen we come bk frm honeymoon
Sylvia: Well... (tells him about how it went reunite with Shelly and how she got to know the family)
Wander: Wow, n u guys actually ran into ur ex? N Peeps made him... umm... [not sure how to put it in words]
Sylvia: Well, he at least didn't let Shelly witness that happening. What matters is Ryder is gone now.
Wander: (nod) Yeah, at least he had the decency to do tht... Ur not upset tht Peeps made ur ex do...wat it was he did?
Sylvia: Ryder had it coming...
Wander: OK... So r the foster family OK with u guys choosing their plc as ur venue?
Sylvia: ^^;; Shelly's adopted mom pretty much insisted.
Wander: Ah, the friendly hospitable type, eh? Now I definitely want to meet her (giggle) But maybe after my recovery
Sylvia: :) Yeah, we wanted to wait till you were feeling better to do the wedding, cause I know you'd love to be part of it. ^^
Wander: U knw me too well, buddy. Umm, is Brad invited? [gestured at Brad who is still there, playing patty cake with Angel]
Sylvia: I...suppose he can join us.
Wander: Sweet! Hey, Bradley~ Sylvia said ur invited to their wedding ^^
Brad: :) Really?
Sylvia: Yeah, just be sure you behave yourself.
Brad; No worries, I'll mostly be busy with my little butterfly. ^^
Wander: Heh, I bet u would be. Kids can be a handful in a new environment
Sylvia: Yup. (looks away, smiling to herself)
Wander: [noticed the smile n nudged her a little] Thinking of something nice there, buddy?
Sylvia: (looks back at him) Welll... I just have the feeling Shelly might like a little sibling, so... :)
Wander: Ooh, someone's thinking ahead. Getting ahead of urself, arent u? (smirk)
Sylvia: ^^;; Is that bad?
Wander: No, not reli. Glad ur thinking abt the future. Just hope Peeps sees it the same way u do
Sylvia: Who knows. (nod)
Wander: [noticed both litters finally had their fill] Oh, ur done? Syl? Brad? Can u guys help me burp the older litter while I burp the younger ones?
Brad: (nod) Sure.
Sylvia: (nod) Okay.
Wander: [removed the feeding tubes frm the litter n passes the older litter to the two]
Brad: (Burps a few)
Sylvia: (does the same)
Wander: [burped the new litter] There we go, nice n full, sweeties
Sylvia: :)
Wander: [settles the new litter into the crib, tucking them in as they slept, gesturing Sylvia n Brad to do them same for the older litter] Time for their nap now
Sylvia & Brad: (place the babies they were burping inside crib)
Wander: [tucks them all in, huddle them together close so tht they could get warm] :) There we go [turns to Sylvia n Brad] Thanks, u guys
Brad: (nod)
Sylvia: (rubs Wander's back)
Wander: [looks dwn at his sleeping litters] Maybe wen they're older, I'll bring them here, to see their unborn siblings
Sylvia: If you feel that's the right thing, buddy.
Wander: [thought a bit] .... (nod) I knw it is, they deserve to knw
Sylvia: (hugs him) Just hope you'll be okay.
Wander: Yeah, I will be, buddy... Eventually... [leaned against Sylvia sadly]
Sylvia: (nuzzles his head, comforting him)
