Awesome: Woohoo! Now that's wat I call a monster truck rally!

Sylvia: This is crazy amazing! So many ppl here!!

Peepers: >_<

Sylvia: Woohoo!!! :D

Awesome: Yeah~~!! Smash those motherfuckers!!! XD

Ryder: :D Right in the kisser!!

Peepers: (watching a little bit, placing his hand on Sylvia's)

Sylvia: [felt the touch n unconsciously squeezed him bk, tho her attention is still focused on hollering at the wreckage]

Ryder: (watches yet another crash) (doh) That's gonna smart in the morning!

Awesome: Ooh yeah! I got money pitted on tht one to be the last one standing

Sylvia: Oh yeah? Well they hv to fight against the one I bet on :D

Ryder: Bring it! XD

Peepers: ^^;;

[soon it was time for a intermission break where the trucks get towed off for minor repairs n for the spectators to get snacks]

Sylvia: Let's head off to the canteen, I'm parched, n I think I might want something to munch on

Peepers: (nod)

Ryder: Me too.

[the group made their way to the canteen]

Peepers: (looking around) :)

Sylvia: Gosh, I'm starved. Wat should I get? [looked at the menu at the counter]

Peepers: (looks at menu too)

Ryder: Hmm...

Awesome: I'm definitely gonna get me that [pointed at some kelp cakes] n a big mug of beer!

Sylvia: I think I'll get the large pizza, with the triple cheese toppings n a fizzy orange. Wat do u want, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: (points to the burrito section)

Sylvia: [sees the food he wants] OK, got it. Wat r u getting, Ryder?

Ryder: Perhaps a double burger and coke for me.

Peepers: (also points to the juice section of the menu)

Sylvia: (nod) I'll make the order, u guys go find a seat

Awesome: Ah, ah, it wouldn't be nice of me to let u carry all the food. I'll stay with u

Sylvia: (giggle) Suit urself, Fish Face

Peepers: :^) (doesn't like the idea)

Ryder: I guess I'm with the eyeball then.

Peepers: (scowls at Awesome)

Sylvia: [rolled her eyes n made the order]

Awesome: [stood nxt to her, arm ard her shoulder as he chatted with her]

Peepers: (glared some more)

Ryder: Come on, little dude. (leads Peepers away to find them a seat)

[as Ryder n Peepers found their seats, frm their angle, Awesome n Sylvia looked pretty chummy with each other as they talked n giggle with Awesome's arm ard her]

Peepers: (unamused)

Ryder: (sitting across from him)

[few mins later, they returned with the orders]

Awesome: Here ya go! Food galore~!

Sylvia: Great, I'm literally starving right now [sat dwn n licked her lips]

Peepers: (quickly scoots next to Sylvia, huffing at Awesome)

Awesome: [raise a brow, bt shrugged n started eating]

Sylvia: [ruffled Peepers' head humorously before digging in, making small chatter with the guys]

Peepers: (envy) (digs into his food, keeping an eye on Awesome)

Ryder: (also eating his food)

[aftr eating n small talk, there was abt 15 mins before the intermission ends]

Awesome: We still got 15 mins before the show starts. I think we've got time to discuss business

Sylvia: Yeah, bt maybe not here. Somewhere private

Peepers: :^)

Ryder: Heh, Awesome, I think someone here is trying to compete with you. (smirk)

Awesome: Hah, ur a decade too early or a decade too late, buddy. So shall we?

Sylvia: Yeah. Umm, u don't mind if u wait for us at the audience seat, right, Pipsqueak? It won't take too long

Peepers: (frowns but shake his head saying he won't mind)

Sylvia: Thanks. Let's go, guys

Awesome: [got up n went with Sylvia, but not before giving Peepers a cheeky wink n a smirk] ;) ... (smirk)

Peepers: (envy)

[the nxt day, the odd couple did nothing much but just chill out in their penthouse suite, making use of the facilities in the hotel like the massage parlour, the hot springs, the steam room and even the swimming pool]

Sylvia: [just got out from doing a full body spa wen her cellphone rang] Hello?

Wander's voice: Hey, Syl. How are you and Peepers doing?

Sylvia: Oh hey, buddy. U know, just chilling. We're at Planet Vegas now, was supposed to enlist Ryder n Awesome's help, but we're taking our time. I hope ur doing OK while we're gone

Wander: Doing just fine, looking after the kids and all.

Sylvia: Cool, cool, just hope ur doing alright. I'll be meeting up with Ryder and Awesome tonight at some monster truck rally, so we can talk business

Wander: ...You got into some bow chicka wow wow, didn't you? (smirk)

Sylvia: -///- ....Shut up, you

Wander: XD

Sylvia: Neways, thanks for calling. I'll update u wen I've got the deal done with Ryder n Awesome

Sylvia: [text] Cool. Cya soon [scratched her chin] Now where did tht Pipsqueak go...?

Peepers: (was checking out merch people were selling around the area)

Sylvia: [wandered ard until she found him] Oh, there u are, Pipsqueak

Peepers: (sees her) (wave)

Sylvia: [approaches him] Find anything interesting u wanna get?

Peepers: (pointed to a row of army knives from one seller stand)

Sylvia: Oh, ur interested in tht?

Peepers: (writes) In case you're not around to help defend me.

Sylvia: Sounds like a fair point. Always be prepared to fend for urself, as I always say. U gonna buy that then?

Peepers: (writes) Dumb to say, but I hope I have enough for one.

Sylvia: C'mon, we won plenty from last night's Jackpot. I'm sure u got enough to get the whole set

Peepers: (nod) (turns to the seller)

Seller: Yes, can I help u, sir?

Peepers: (points to the row of army knives with dark red handles)

Seller: Ah, the Titanium Reds. U interested in that? That'll be 3,500 space credits for the whole set

Peepers: (counts out the money he had with him)

Sylvia: [whispered] Got enough?

Peepers: (sees he's only a few dollars short)

Sylvia: [forks out the balance difference] Here, a few dollars for u

Peepers: :) (hands the money to the seller)

Seller: [counts the money] Good. Do u need me to wrap it up for u, sir?

Peepers: (nod)

Seller: [does so, wrapping up the army knives set, then hands it to Peepers] Here u go, sir

Sylvia: Hmm, pretty sweet deal there, Pipsqueak

Peepers: (takes the package) :)

Sylvia: [walks with Peepers out of the store, then remembered] Oh, I almost forgot. We gotta get ready for the monster truck rally. Ryder n Awesome are gonna come pick us up in abt one and a half hours

Peepers: (raises eyebrow at mention of Awesome and Ryder) :^)

Sylvia: Oh c'mon, it's just a monster truck rally. N I need their help to do this mission of mine for Wander, remember? It's just business

Peepers: (writes) If you say so.

Sylvia: Cool. C'mon, lets get ready [takes his hand n made their way to the penthouse to get ready before they waited out at the lobby for the two guys to show up]

Peepers: (waits with her)

???: Yo, Syl!

Sylvia: [turns to the voice] Hey, Ryder! Awesome!

Peepers: (sees them)

Ryder: :) Good to see you here.

Awesome: Yeah, been a while since we seen each other face to face in the flesh

Sylvia: Oh, u guys r still quite the tease (giggle)

Peepers: :^)

Ryder: (sees Peepers) New friend of yours?

Sylvia: Yeah, sorta, but I can explain that later. Monster truck rally awaits!

Awesome: Aww yeah!! Time to watch some cars being smashed!

Ryder: :D Yeah!

Peepers: <_< (follows the group)

[once in the penthouse suite...]

Sylvia: [dug out the menu frm the minibar counter n rang up reception]

Peepers: (was looking through channels to find them a movie to watch)

Receptionist: Yes, how can I help you?

Sylvia: Hi, I'm calling for room service up in the penthouse suite

Peepers: :)

Receptionist: Yes, ma'am. :) Do you know what you'd like to order?

Sylvia: Let's see... [browsed thru the menu, then turns to Peepers] Wat would u like to order first, Peepers?

Peepers: (looks at menu and points to a few things he'd like)

Sylvia: [nodded n made the order for him] ...as for me, I'd like... [read thru the menu n ordered wat she wanted]

Receptionist: We'll have it your order ready as soon as we can, ma'am. (nod)

Sylvia: Take ur time. We ain't going anywhere. Thanks [hung up] All done. Now we just need to wait. Watcha watching?

Peepers: (has up a list of movies they should choose from to watch)

Sylvia: [looked thru them] All of them look kinda interesting. I've picked the food. U pick the entertainment

Peepers: (nod) (picks an action movie)

Sylvia: Ooh, "Dawn of the Nebula Sun"? That sounds interesting [scooted closer to Peepers unconsciously to watch the movie with him]

Peepers: (flushes but doesn't mind her sitting this close)

Sylvia: [LOL-ed at the comedic opening of the movie] (rofl)

Peepers: (giggle)

[15mins into the movie, the doorbell of their penthouse suite rang]

Peepers: (looks at Sylvia, as if asking if he should get it)

Sylvia: Don't worry. I'll get it [gets up n answers the door, seeing the bellboy with a trolley of food] Ooh~ Our room service, I presume? :)

Bellboy: :) Yes, ma'am.

Sylvia: [opens the door wider to let him in] Abt time. Food's here, Pipsqueak!

Peepers: :D

Bellboy: (enters room)

Sylvia: [let the bellboy do his thing to serve the food on the table]

Bellboy: (finishes what he does and tells how much the order was)

Sylvia: [takes out one stack of bills, counted them to match the bill price, then added a few notes as tips] Here ya go, kiddo. Enjoy urself

Bellboy: (nod) Thank you, ma'am. (leaves them to their meal)

Sylvia: Alright! Food, chk! Movie, chk! Let's get this party started [plopped dwn to start choosing her first food to eat]

Peepers: :) (does the same)

[the odd couple enjoyed their food and a couple of other movies, n by the time they were done with the food, Peepers was already sitting on Sylvia's lap watching a sort of action/romance movie]

Peepers: :) (nuzzles against Sylvia)

Sylvia: [nuzzled bk at him without realizing it, then takes a sip of the champagne she ordered] Mmm, posh stuff. U want some?

Peepers: (looks then slowly nods)

Sylvia: [poured a glass for him] Here ya go. Cheers (cheers)

Peepers: (cheers) (sips his drink)

Sylvia: [sipped her drink as well, putting one arm ard Peepers in a half hug]

Peepers: (hugs her arm, nuzzling it and also giving a few kisses)

Sylvia: [giggled at the kisses] Hey, that's ticklish (giggle)

Peepers: ^^

Sylvia: [a short silence later] ...So, uh... Peepers?

Peepers: (glances at her) ?

Sylvia: I don't get it... Why me? U could've met any other husky girl that has the same features n characteristics as me... Even during our travels of conquering, u could've met anyone else. So why me?

Peepers: (writes) Something about you just really gets me...

Sylvia: Which is...?

Peepers: (writes) Well, eyes like yours are one weakness.

Sylvia: My eyes? :|

Peepers: ^^;; (writes) It's what Watchdog's are attracted to most aren't they? (quickly adds) But there's more to you then that.

Sylvia: [remembered the few times some Watchdogs minions of hers mentioned abt some gals they like n commenting abt their eyes] Oh yeah, I guess so... But my eyes? Reli? I look like a puff fish on a good day =3=

Peepers: (writes) Do not. =3=

Sylvia: Do too ;p

Peepers: (pouts then gives her his surprise kiss) :P

Sylvia: :O [chuckled as she punched his shoulder lightly] Ur pretty cheeky wen u want to, aren't u, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: ^_^

Sylvia: [takes another sip of champagne, then leans in to give him a longer kiss before pulling away] So... U wanna... Do something more than just iFlix n chill? Heheh...

Peepers: (flushes a little)

Sylvia: [blinked] Crap, I'm doing it again, aren't I? -__-

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [sighed long n hard] Look, I'm not reli good at this lovey-dovey stuff. I mean I've always been the "Wham bam thank you ma'am" type of person, n I've always been the type tht uses my body to express myself. I don't know how to do it any other way... I'm sorry... :(

Peepers: (pets the side of her face in a comforting way) :(

Sylvia: Maybe it would've been better if... Well, if u had found someone else, if u prefer someone who goes slow, coz it's just not me, n I can't reli change the way I am... :(

Peepers: (writes) Why would I want anyone else when I have you?

Sylvia: [smiled at tht n ruffled his head] Ur such a sweet talker, evn tho u can't talk

Peepers: :)

Sylvia: Look, I'm always gonna offer sex, tht's just the way I am. But its up to u if u wanna do it or not. I won't force u if ur not in the mood, OK? So don't feel pressured to perform or anything. I may the type of girl but I'm not THAT type of girl, u knw?

Peepers: (nods in understanding)

Sylvia: So... u wanna? Or u wanna just chill n watch movies while pigging out with the rest of the food? (giggle)

Peepers: (cuddles against her, pointing to the screen)

Sylvia: Cool [noms some more food as they sat comfortably together n continued watching movies]

Peepers: :)

[the odd couple continued watching movies n pigged out until they literally fell asleep in each other's arms on the big sofa couch till morning]

Peepers: |-)

Sylvia: |-)

Peepers: (nuzzles his face into her belly) ^^/|-)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp77

[the odd couple finished their soak in the Jacuzzi n dried up, then made their way to the hotel's casino at the basement floor]

Sylvia: So wat shall we try first?

Peepers: (looks around)

Sylvia: Ooh, let's go for the classic Space Jacks

Peepers: :D

Sylvia: After tht we should give Roulette n Jackpot a go as well

Peepers: (nod)

[they gave every game a shot or two, winning some, losing some, until they're finally at the Jackpot, saving that game for last]

Sylvia: Come on, come on... [the jackpot came out a dud again] Ahh man! How're u doing over there, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: (deeply focused) ]:)

Sylvia: ^^;; Looks like someone got the gambling bug now... [gave herself a few tries before giving up n sat next to Peepers to watch him play]

Peepers: (giving it his all)

Sylvia: Slow dwn there, Pipsqueak, ur gonna use up all ur tokens at this rate

Peepers: (blinked turning to her and tries his best to slow it down)

Sylvia: (giggle) [continued watching him play, but dwn to his last token, he still didn't win anything]

Peepers: (doh)

Sylvia: [finds a last token in her pouch n kisses it before handing it to Peepers] Here, last one. All or nothing

Peepers: :) (uses the token)

Sylvia: [watches the jackpot roll] Come on, come on, come on...

Peepers: (also watches...as it lands on winning number)

Sylvia: Woohoo~!! Jackpot!! :D

[The machine started to overflow as it spit out the winning tokens]

Sylvia: Quick! Use ur bucket to grab them! [grabbed her own bucket from her stand n started collecting the tokens]

Peepers: (grabs his bucket doing the same)

Sylvia: [shoveled all the tokens on her side into her bucket, having to kick aside some ppl who decided to be grabby hands n sneak away their tokens]

Peepers: (scoops up his tokens, giving quick kicks to any who tried to steal)

Sylvia: [stands up quickly with her bucket] U got em, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: Alright~ Let's go cash this in at the Jackpot counter :D

Peepers: :D (follows her to the counter)

[they went to the Jackpot counter to cash it in]

Sylvia: Cashing in, my good man [puts her bucket on to the counter] Along with my boyfriend's

Peepers: (blushes at hearing 'boyfriend' and puts his bucket with hers)

Cashier: Will do [takes the buckets n starts pouring it into the token counter machine]

Sylvia: Hope we got it big [rubbed her hands in anticipation]

Peepers: (rubs his hands also) :D

Cashier: [done cashing the tokens n gave them stacks of bills] Congrats, u guys. U've hit the jackpot of 2 million space credits

Sylvia: Alright~! Wat a haul! [almost literally hugged the stack of bills as she collects them]

Peepers: XD

Sylvia: [takes one of the stack of bills] Here, Pipsqueak, go buy a bag so we can fill these in

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [holds onto the cash while waiting Peepers to buy the bag]

Peepers: (buys the bag)

Sylvia: U getting it, Pipsqueak? A bunch of guys are eyeballing us here~

Peepers: (like)

Sylvia: Quick! Open it wide. Imma dump them in

Peepers: (opens the bag up)

Sylvia: [quickly shoved all the cash into the bag, while glaring at anyone who evn thinks of trying to swipe the money away frm them]

Peepers: (does the same) :|

Sylvia: [dumps the last of the cash into the bag] Time to call it a night. Lets celebrate. Some fancy room service?

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [had unconsciously taken Peepers' hand as they made their way bk to their penthouse suite, as if its a habit to her]

Peepers: ^^ (walks along with her)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp76

[the odd couple made their way to Golden Crown to chk in]

Sylvia: [approaches the reception desk] Hi, checking in under the name Ryder. We're best buds, said to put it on his tab

Receptionist: (checks and gives her the room key) Enjoy your stay. :)

Sylvia: Thanks ^^ [takes the key] Let's go, Pipsqueak

Peepers: :) (follows atfer her)

[they made their way to the floor designated by the key number, n it turned out to be the penthouse suite]

Sylvia: Ooh sweet~ Guess it pays to hv friends with benefits

Peepers: :o (looked impressed)

Sylvia: Up for a treasure hunt or a bed-bouncing? [grinned mischievously]

Peepers: (holds up one finger for first option)

Sylvia: Treasure hunt it is ;) [starts rummaging in btwn couch corners n opening cupboards]

Peepers: (looking under the beds)

Sylvia: [check the mini bar n the closets]

Peepers: (pulls out from under bed and sneezes) >< (searches the pillows and blankets)

[the odd couple did their treasure hunt for abt an hour before they rendezvous in the living room with their stash]

Sylvia: [held a bundle of stuff in her arms] Alright, lets see wat u got, Pipsqueak

Peepers: (had a small bundle of objects himself)

Sylvia: Show me wat u got [gestured him to lay the things on the coffee table]

Peepers: (lays what he found on the table; two old ballet tickets, a silver wristband, golden pocket watch and 5 dollar bill)

Sylvia: Ooh, nice [lays her stash; abt a dozen coins, a few condom wrappers, a few candy wrappers n some half-eaten candies n gum, n a mini-vibrator]

Peepers: (raised a brow at the condoms)

Sylvia: [shrugged] Don't look at me, I found 'em as it is. It IS a hotel aftr all

Peepers: :^) (shrugs)

Sylvia: Phew! I'm beat. I'm gonna need me a shower, or a nice soak. I found a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Wanna join me? ;)

Peepers: o///o (simply nods without second thought)

Sylvia: Wait... (facepalm) I did it again, didn't I? I initiated something I shouldn't. We were supposed to take it slow

Peepers: ^///^;;; (rubbed the back of his head)

Sylvia: Well, I won't force u. It's up to u if u wanna join me or not. I'm sorry for imposing [walks off to the bathroom]

Peepers: (thinks for a moment... then follows her)

Sylvia: [noticed he was behind her wen she was started filling the tub] Oh, ur here. U, uh... Ur sure?

Peepers: (flushes but nods)

Sylvia: OK, it's ur call [put some scented bath oils into the Jacuzzi] Mmm~ Rose n cinnamon

Peepers: (smells it also) ^^

Sylvia: [once the tub is full, slowly steps into it] Ahh~ Come in, the water is fine

Peepers: (undresses and steps in himself) ^^~~

Sylvia: [leans bk n enjoyed the bubbling water in the tub massaging her bk] Ahh~~ This is the life

Peepers: =w= (sinks under the water)

Sylvia: Wander hopes tht one day, wen he retires frm conquering, he will hv collected enough fortune to set himself for life, so tht he can settle with his soulmate on a planet to rule of his choosing

Peepers: (pops up) :)?

Sylvia: [blinked] Oh, I didn't know u went under. I said... [repeated wat she just said]

Peepers: (listens) (nod)

Sylvia: Yeah, let's just hope tht Pretty Boy Brad doesn't go n ruin everything

Peepers: :^)

Sylvia: I assume u heard abt Brad Starlight

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: Yeah, well, u didn't hear it from me, but Brad n Wander used to be lovers for a while

Peepers: :o

Sylvia: Yeah, technically it wasn't serious. Wander was faking it for the sake of getting him to leave Demurra alone. U see, Pretty Boy there has a serious case of infatuation for this Princess Demurra coz they used to be childhood sweethearts. She got over him, he didn't, n he was reli cramping her style, especially since she's fallen in love with Draykor, some kind of dragon overlord

Peepers: (listens closely)

Sylvia: So one day wen we tried to conquer their planet, she asked Wander to do her a favour n get rid of Brad in exchange for not conquering their planet. Killing him was a waste of breath, so we tried the nxt best thing: Wander tries to seduce him to get him over Demurra. Wander being the cute tiny overlord sorta won him over, n they had a thing for a while, also hit home run there. I guess Wander tried his best to be bottom for him but he couldn't go thru with it n blurted out the truth. Brad was upset that Demurra would do tht to him, but not as upset as he was with Wander for playing with his feelings. They've been bitter rivals ever since

Peepers: (nods in understanding)

Sylvia: Thing is I think Pretty Boy Brad might still hv a thing for him, n maybe Wander still hv some itty-bitty lingering thoughts of him, both of them r just too stubborn to resolve this

Peepers: (shrugs)

Sylvia: [sighed] Ah well, we'll just hv to let nature take its course n see how things go then

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: [slowly scoots closer towards Peepers, closing her eyes n enjoying the bubbles massaging her body]

Peepers: =w= (sunk under the water again)

Sylvia: [chuckled n joined him, going under the water along with him, leaning her long neck out to kiss Peepers on the forehead]

Peepers: o///o (pops back up)

Sylvia: [popped bk up n chuckled] Hehe ur so easy to tease (giggle)

Peepers: (pouts then rubs at his eye) ><

Sylvia: Soap got in ur eye, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: (nods, then waits till she got close enough for him to give her a surprise kiss of his own) :P

Sylvia: :O U little minx [giggled as she gave him a tickle attack]

Peepers: o.o (squirms as she tickled him) (rofl)

Sylvia: [laughed as she continued tickling, spluttering a little coz of Peepers splashing abt]

Peepers: (giggle) (tries to tickle her back)

Sylvia: :D [laughed as she felt the tickles, squirming until Peepers was straddling on top of her]

Peepers: ^^ (gives a 'I win' look)

Sylvia: (smirk) [leans in to give him a gentle peck on the lips]

Peepers: (kisses back)

Sylvia: [leaned her forehead against Peepers'] We're not reli good at this "taking things slow" thing, are we? [chuckled]

Peepers: ^^;; (shrugs sheepishly)

Sylvia: We might as well go ahead n just make us official, like reli official (giggle)

Peepers: (flushes)

Sylvia: I'm just playing with ya. There's still plenty of time to decide on tht, well, unless u reli want us to be official

Peepers: (shrugs again with his hands)

Sylvia: [rolled her eyes in amusement] We reli need to get u tht gadget I was talking abt, n u need to get started on learning sign language. I'd like to actually "talk" to u without needing to guess ur hand gestures n facial expressions (giggle)

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: Well, since we're in Planet Vegas, wanna test our luck n go for some gambling? We can start small n try this hotel's casino

Peepers: (like)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp75

[the odd couple soon made their way to the 4th galaxy, where they landed on Planet Vegas]

Sylvia: Ah, Sin Planet Vegas. Perfect plc to find them

Peepers: (writes) Who exactly are we looking for?

Sylvia: Ryder, of course. He owns a business here, but he also has some...side businesses tht I can use for my mission

Peepers: (writes) What sort of side businesses?

Sylvia: If I tell u, he'd kill u (evil)

Peepers: o_o;;

Sylvia: Just kidding, heheh, he usually does the usual money laundering n weapons trade, but once in a while he provides manpower n intel

Peepers: :)

Sylvia: I better give him a call, give him a heads-up [dialed the number to his cell]

Ryder: (picks up) 'Ello?

Sylvia: Yo, u sexy snarfblatt. Guess who's in town? :D

Ryder: :) Hey, snarfblat. What's been up with you?

Sylvia: Oh it's a long story. Let's meet up. Watcha doing right now?

Ryder: We've tickets for a monster truck rally. We can meet up there.

Peepers: |-(

Sylvia: Monster truck rally? Sweet! Hook us up! I got company too

Ryder: Let me guess, another one of your you-know-what's? (smirk)

Sylvia: Well, that's... another thing for us to discuss abt, so yeah, wen is the rally?

Ryder: (turns to Awesome) What are the times again?

Awesome: [chk the ticket date] It's the day after tomorrow night, basically in a couple of days, starting ard 8pm basic time

Ryder: (into his cell) You heard all that, Syl?

Sylvia: Yup, got it. So got a good hotel I can stay for free?

Ryder: There's a couple of good ones, we can try and find one to crash at for a bit. Maybe we'll let you know when we find a place.

Sylvia: Cool, tho I just arrived n I need to chk into one right now. Just name me one good plc n I'll let u knw if I've checked in

Ryder: Well, there's that Golden Crown place. Good service there.

Sylvia: Awesome. Is it one of ur hotels? Can I drop ur name wen I chk in so I can hv hotel freebies?

Ryder: (nod) Yeah.

Sylvia: Alright. Cya wen I cya then [hangs up] C'mon, Pipsqueak, we got a nice plc to stay for free

[the odd couple ended up doing it twice before they finally chk out]

Sylvia: [returning the keys to the reception] Wanna hv brunch, Pipsqueak?

Peepers: (nod)

Sylvia: Hotel restaurant or outside restaurant?

Peepers: (writes) Outside.

Sylvia: Outside it is. For the record... [whispered] Ur a beast in bed wen ur in the mood [secretly goosed him] (giggle) [walked ahead of him]

Peepers: ^///^ (follows after her)

[the odd couple made their way to one of the restaurants in town to hv their brunch]

Peepers: :)

Sylvia: [ordered a heavy breakfast set]

Peepers: (orders a bagel and a coffee)

Sylvia: U sure ur just gonna eat tht?

Peepers: (writes) Yes, this is fine with me.

Sylvia: U sure u don't want something more? I'm buying

Peepers: (writes) Well...if you must insist. :)

Sylvia: Go ahead, knock urself out

Peepers: (writes) They were displaying those special bran muffins, so...

Sylvia: Sure, go ahead n get some. Like I said, my treat

Peepers: (goes up to order a few of the muffins)

TV: (was playing the news)

Sylvia: [looked up at the news while munching on her fried eggs]

Peepers: (also glanced at the news, showing a reporter doing his reports and asking passers by a few questions related to the topic)

Sylvia: [shrugged as it was just the usual generic news n went bk to eating her brunch]

Peepers: (was going to join her wth two muffins when he noticed the reporter interviewing another passer by... a Watchdog. One that looked familiar to him...) :o (dropped the muffins, wide eyed)

Sylvia: [didn't see it as she continued eating]

Peepers: (was still wide eyed...)

Cashier: Sir? Do you feel okay, sir?

Peepers: (began breathing rapidly, almost panicked)

Sylvia: [was starting to wonder why it's taking Peepers so long wen she sees Peepers at a state, got up n went to him] Yo, yo, Pipsqueak. U OK? Wat's wrong?

Peepers: (was sweating, eyes locked on the screen)

Sylvia: [her eyes looked to the direction he was staring at n saw the Watchdog, feeling something familiar abt his features] Is tht...?

Watchdog: (on TV) Ever since I've been out of prison, all I've wanted to do was...reunite with my son...apologize for all the times I've hurt him...and my wife... ;(

Peepers: (slowly shook his head, then pushed away from Sylvia to exit the area)

Sylvia: No way... [backed away from the push] Hey! Pipsqueak! Wait! [paid the bill then chased after Peepers]

Peepers: (just stopped outside the area, leaning against wall sinking into sitting position, hugging himself) :(

Sylvia: [finds him n knelt nxt to him] Pipsqueak, u OK? Tht Watchdog on TV, is he who I think he is?

Peepers: (looks up at her and nods) :(

Sylvia: But... But... He killed ur mom! N he almost killed u as a kid!! He should be in jail for life! Or sentenced to death! Wat the fuck is he doing out in the open?!

Peepers: (writes) I don't know! I'm scared he might be faking, but...at same time... ;(

Sylvia: Wat, r u telling me u think he's reli changed? Tht ur willing to actually FORGIVE him?

Peepers: (writes) I know what he did, but still, he's my father...

Sylvia: Tht's not good enough. It's thoughts like these tht let terrible ppl get away with a lot of things, bcoz of tht sentimentality. He killed ur mother, pipsqueak. I wouldn't be so lenient if it happened to me

Peepers: (glares at her)

Sylvia: [sighed] Look, I'm just saying. u be careful. I don't trust easy. He killed ur mother, n he almost killed u. For all we knw, he prolly might want revenge or want to finish the job n I... I don't want u to get hurt

Peepers: (writes) I understand...You're just looking out for me.

Sylvia: Damn right I am. I'm not abt to lose my bf to some loser ass criminal like tht... [realized wat she just said n covered her mouth]

Peepers: :o (blinked in surprise. Did she just call him her...?)

Sylvia: [cleared her throat, as if she didn't say it] Umm... Right! We better skedaddle! I need to look for some backup to get this mission done. [stands abruptly n walked a few feet away frm him, then stopped] U coming?

Peepers: (shook it off and follows after her)

Sylvia: [speed-walked her way to the docking bay to get to their spacecraft]

Peepers: (climbs aboard with her)

Sylvia: [cleared her throat] Right, u wanna listen to ur songs again, pipsqueak?

Peepers: (thinks for a moment and tunes the radio till he found a song)

Sylvia: [hears the tune] Huh, this is actually pretty catchy. Another Earth song, I presume?

Peepers: (nod) (nods head to the beat) (rock)

Sylvia: [headbang along with the music, singing along with it as she started the engine n took off to space]

Peepers: :D

Sylvia: [listened to a few more rock songs of Peepers' choice, then lowered the volume] Umm, pipsqueak?

Peepers: ? (looks at her)

Sylvia: If one day... U reli run across ur dad... How're u gonna deal with him?

Peepers: (slowly writes) I'll think of something...but right now...just not sure...

Sylvia: Will u be OK with him? I mean, u can't scream for help if he tries anything. U want me to be with u wen tht time comes wen u run into him?

Peepers: (writes) If you're sure, but Il will be getting concerned about a GF getting involved. (noticed what he wrote and quickly erased and wrote Partner) ^^;;

Sylvia: [read the gf part before he could erase it n blushed, pretended not to see it] Hehe, yeah, well, if he does anything to u, this GF will kick his ass till nxt century, no excuses

Peepers: (like)

Sylvia: [chuckled n ruffled his head as she turned on the volume to listen to more Earth rock songs again]
