      The Lord fell to the surface of the planet, somewhere on a farm, near the city. Luckily he landed on a huge pile of hay and survived. Waking up and crawling out of the pile of hay, he looks around. — Okay, I give my word of honor that I will go, since I already fell from the skull ship... Oh, I found a needle in a haystack. — he said to himself, taking out a needle, which with its sharp end stuck into his tie. Then he hid it back in this pile of hay, and he went towards the city on foot.

At the same time

      Wander he found a small suitable restaurant in the same city, in which everyone knew him and persuaded everyone there that a couple would come here and they should arrange a romantic date so that it would be good and without any surprises that could make one mad. At the same time, he will personally ensure that no one spoils anything. The musicians agreed to play romance, and the waiters will serve the couple what each of them loves most in the world. He will take care of the rest, if anything. Fortunately, some people in the restaurant knew him, because he helped some of them several times. Therefore, they will not refuse to help him with this too. And even completely free. Strangely enough, the Dominator came first. Moreover, at first even Wander himself did not recognize her. It seemed like the girl was the same, only her eyes, stained with mascara from tears, had already been wiped off, her lips were smeared with black lipstick, the yellow gloves were no longer on her hands, instead of white sneakers and socks, there were red shoes with glitter on her feet, and the girl herself wore a red dress. Moreover, he also had a cut for his right leg. Since no one in the restaurant recognized her, they were not afraid of her and thought that she was some kind of stranger who belonged to the same race as the Dominator herself. One of the waiters approached her and politely invited her to sit at the best table, near the window. The villainess did not refuse and accepted his politeness. She sat at that very best table and waited, and Here-And-There was hiding in the kitchen and also waiting for Heiti himself to appear.

***

      True, the skeleton himself was a little late, as he was thrown away from the city, he walked and did not know where to go. He had no choice but to address passers-by. — Sorry! Have you seen here... Uh... A red monkey in a green cowboy hat and white sneakers? — He went there, to the restaurant. — a boy answered, pointing with his sister to where to go. The skeleton turned his gaze and smiled, going where he wanted. He went inside and looked around. The waiter comes up to him and escorts him to the same table. The couple was politely greeted and seated where they needed to be. Heiti and Domi met face to face, with each other in this very place, at the request of Toot-I-Tam himself. At first they were questioning and both a little worried, then looked at each other, then turned away modestly, not knowing where to start a conversation with each other. For a villainess, the skeleton seemed to be an elegant gentleman now. Especially in this suit. Although maybe he was faking it, as she slightly suspected? The skeleton didn’t know where to start a conversation with the girl. Plus, her slightly altered appearance and red dress outfit looked so attractive that he was speechless. Having finally gathered his thoughts, the skeleton decided to be the first to start a conversation: — Well... This is... Hello. — Huh?... Yes, hi. — the girl answered the skeleton a little embarrassedly. — How are you doing?... Um... What are you doing? - Hayter asks hesitantly. — Yes, yes. — the villainess waved her hand, explaining: — As usual, there was nothing interesting. At least... Until today... But I... I don’t want to talk about it yet. — Okay, whatever you say. - said the skeleton and began to drink cola through a straw from a cup. — And uh... How are you? — she asked him uncertainly. — Yes, little by little, as usual, I’m capturing planets and trying to rise above everyone else on the line, because for now I’m... In general, some people are no longer in the way... I value you, so I’m not going to overtake you... I I think it might be... Well, at least for me... Being in second place is not so bad than being in first. - regarding places in the ratings, he tried to say this so that she would not accidentally think that he was talking about her and would not be offended by him for it. — Is it true? — I didn’t believe it a little and almost laughed, but smiled slightly. — But I don’t think so... And the ratings of villains and conquerors have never bothered me. — Is it true? Hayter asked shyly. — Then, excuse me for asking such a question, bu-u-ut... If you don't really care about ratings, then... Why do you capture planets, and you've captured so many more than everyone else, including me? — Good question. — Dominator herself thought about Hater’s question and looked around, hoping that no one was eavesdropping or spying. Everyone in the restaurant looked at them with romance, knowing about them from the words of Wander. — Sorry, but now we will have a personal conversation. So you can stop eavesdropping and spying for now? - in response, everyone shyly turned away, took out their mobile phones and decided to chat with their friends online, and some decided to play mobile games. At this time, Domi leaned lightly towards Heiti and began to whisper into the right yellow horn on his skull, as if in his ear. Although even so he heard her perfectly well. - In fact, I’m not a conqueror... I’m a destroyer and I love to destroy... I capture all the planets not in order to take over the galaxy, but just so that I can then destroy it all down to the tiny planet. Without leaving any of them alive. Hater, when he heard this, was shocked, his green eyes bulged out. — But why? — he didn’t understand her on this topic. — Believe me, I don’t remember myself. It was so long ago, and I was still young and young then. I remember that then I was even kinder to everyone, not like now. Now I’m rude to everyone, threatening, killing, destroying and gloating. — Just like me. But at least I have always been like this. — here the skeleton lied a little, because he remembered that he was once friends with a monkey, whose photo he still has on his phone. — But now you don’t behave like that. You are now polite and calm. — Just like you, now. — she added, smiling, to which the skeleton began to blush on his cheeks with shame. He even scratched the back of his head. — I wouldn’t have become like this... If... Not alone... Friend. — he said doubtfully. — And who is he? - Domi asked, and Heiti looked around and saw in the window for taking orders the hanging top of the green hat of Wander himself. He immediately realized that he was there. The words of Wander immediately echoed in the skull: — “I will help you with Domi and try to improve relations between you, if you promise not to be nervous anymore and not to chase after me like a crazy person.” Remembering this, the skeleton again turned his gaze to the girl and answered briefly: — Wander... My sworn enemy... Who has not yet... Has not become my friend... He said this a little hesitantly, and after listening to him, she became thoughtful and also a little hesitantly added: — Like mine too... Enemy... But with whom I haven’t made friends yet... And then the villain and the villainess bulged their eyes at the same time, realizing that they were not so different or completely opposite to each other, despite their appearance. — Wow! — they said at the same time, they covered both their mouths, noticing this and laughed lightly. — It turns out we are not so different? — asked the skeleton. — It turns out so. — the girl answered. And here-and-there at this time, hiding in the kitchen, moving his hands and index fingers, began to give signals to the cooks and musicians what they should do now. It was lucky that they immediately understood him what he wanted from them. One of the waiters was carrying a tray in both hands. He placed one in front of Hater and the other in front of Dominator, after which he removed the trays. Domi got eggs and ham, and Heiti got ham and pea soup. The light bulbs immediately turned off and only candles were lit everywhere for romance. The musicians began to play romantic music, and Toot-I-Tam himself appeared on stage, but without his hat and dressed as a certain stranger, who slowly sang into a microphone on a stick: ♪ Villains. Conquerors. Dangers. ♪ ♪ Let us be like this and bear misfortunes. ♪ ♪ Yes, I'm a villain, and you're a villain. ♪ ♪ But it won’t be a problem, because you are my idea. ♪ ♪ Yes, I am a conqueror of love-e-e. ♪ ♪ And I only want to be with you. ♪ ♪ Yes, I am a conqueror of love-e-e. ♪ ♪ Only one thing with you ♪ ♪ Capturing planets and captured zhelits. ♪ ♪ All this is nothing for us. ♪ ♪ And let every villain envy us. ♪ ♪ After all, unlike us, they will remain a fool. ♪ ♪ Yes, I am a conqueror of love-e-e. ♪ ♪ And I only want to be with you. ♪ ♪ Yes, I am a conqueror of love-e-e. ♪ ♪ Only one thing with you ♪ ♪ Be with me, only you, my love. ♪ ♪ I can’t live without you. ♪ ♪ Just tell me one word. Yes. ♪ ♪ And we will stay together foreve-e-er. ♪ ♪ Yes, I am a conqueror of love-e-e. ♪ ♪ And I only want to be with yo-o-ou. ♪ ♪ Yes, I am a conqueror of love-e-e. ♪ ♪ Only one thing with yo-o-ou ♪ When the song ended, everyone clapped their hands. Except for the two lords, who were only gobbling up their orders, but everyone knows: “When I eat, I am deaf and dumb.” Finishing their dishes, they looked at each other for a long time. — You know... — the girl began the first conversation with the skeleton. — What, Dominator? — he asked her calmly, perplexed. — I didn’t think I would ever say this and... The fact that I would end up thinking about you like that... But... You... I... Like you. — I know... I always liked you too... Well, after that night when we fought for the ring and when I found out that you were a woman... And before that I... Of course, I hated you at first too.. And almost that. — Hater ran his right index finger along his neck, hinting that he almost killed her. Domi laughed a little at this story. — Yes. Apparently it wasn’t sweet for you then?... It may be hard to believe, but when I, like you, was the same capricious young man in the body of an adult... But over time. when at least someone trusts you and supports you, you begin to realize your past mistakes, learn from them, so as not to make them again, no longer listen to those who consider you a loser or a pathetic parody of a villain... And trust only yourself. ..And to your faithful. — I know... I myself always don’t listen to anyone on these topics and always trust only myself... Well, the truth is a little different from what I usually thought myself. Wander, of course, watched them from the kitchen through the window, folding his hands in the form of binoculars and thinking about them: — “Everything is going exactly according to plan! Wow, Grob, please let it continue like this! I've been pushing for this moment for a long time, for them to finally get along and be together. Ask!" While Hater and Dominator were looking at each other, at one point they looked around. The others in the restaurant, who were watching him out of curiosity whether Wander's plan would work or not, quickly turned away and pretended that they were not spying or eavesdropping. The lords looked into each other's eyes again and there was a feeling that they were about to kiss, which even the weirdo himself expected. However, instead, they simply looked slightly closer to each other, and then, realizing what they had almost done, they sat back. — I lost my stupid skull. — the skeleton said a metaphor about the head in his own way. — Me too. — the girl added, holding her head with her right palm. The weirdo lowered his head, thinking: — “Well, just a little more!” - I thought and when I raised my head, I saw that on the ceiling, near the wooden beams, slowly as if on a tightrope, Commander Peepers himself was walking, trying not to attract attention to himself. — “What is he doing here?” — the redhead didn’t understand. The commander himself went to the wooden beam, above the table and the heads of the lords themselves, took out his blaster, loaded it and took aim at the Dominator, preparing to shoot her. Here-And-There immediately realized that the commander wanted to ruin what he was planning. We must stop him before he ruins the meeting between the lords. Slither like a snake, he creeps through the front door, creeps up to a potted palm tree, climbs up the palm post and climbs up onto the wooden beams. Having risen and reached the commander of the patrol army, he addresses him in a whisper that Peepers almost screams, barely able to contain his fear: — What are you doing here, Pips? This was not my plan. You can ruin everything. — Why do you appear so suddenly and scare me? — Peepers whispered back. — And what are you doing here yourself? — Hey! I asked you first, so you answer, what are you doing here? — the weirdo hissed in a whisper through his teeth. Fortunately, Hater and Dominator were so engrossed in themselves that they almost didn’t hear either Wander or Peepers above their heads. — I was keeping an eye on my lord when I dropped him here. I became curious about who he was on a date with, and when I saw in the window that it was our competitor, I decided to get rid of her right away. By the way, it’s strange that she calmly communicates with him. Although she may be faking it, but in any case, this is my chance to shoot her and finish her off. So don't bother me! — Peepers whispered in response, and the redhead hissed in a half-whisper through his teeth: — No! I won't let you! Running up to the commander, he grabbed his hands with the blaster and tried to take it away, and the commander held the blaster tightly and tried to push the weirdo away from him. Thank Brog that the blaster was still on safety and didn’t fire, so they didn’t make any noise yet. And no one paid attention to them. — Give it back! Do not disturb me! - asked the commander. — No. Get out of here and don't interfere with their date! — How dare you address me? Me, the commander of Lord Hayter’s own army, like that? — This is my friend, I will treat you the way I want, both with him and with you. Do you understand? — He looked sternly into the commander’s only eye, instead of his head. — Back off! — said Peepers and hit the redhead between the legs. He wanted to scream in pain, but restrained himself, only grabbing the sore spot. — Not cool, bro. Not cool at all. — he said a little offended. At this time, the commander took the blaster off the safety and took aim at Domi, preparing to shoot her in the head. However, Toot-I-Tam crawled up to him on his knees and grabbed his legs with his hands, beginning to beg through his tears. — Dear Commander Pips, I beg you! Spare her! I don't want you to ruin my whole plan. — Let go of my legs, you redheaded pervert. — the weird man’s little eye pushed away and even jumped on the spot. Meanwhile, the lords were still looking into each other’s eyes, and at that moment the skeleton was the first to break the silence: — Dominator! — Yes? — Can I tell you something stupid? Or not? — Are you kidding me? — the villainess asked jokingly and laughed quietly. — I love nonsense. Well, unless they are too serious about something. But I’m still interested in listening to you. — You know that I have always loved you... But now I’m worried about a question. I know that in fact you couldn’t even stand me, but... At least now, when we now know each other better. Do you love me? This question alarmed Domi a little, because she did not expect this. Yes, and somehow I didn’t think about it. A little shy, she answered the question with a question: — Uh-uh. How can I prove this?... Well, without words in response. The skeleton then smiled, lowered his upper bone eyelids on his eye sockets, his green eyes illuminated, and answered: — I will answer you the same way as you. A question for a question, if you don’t mind... Can I... Kiss you? After thinking briefly with shyness, rolling her eyes somewhere around, she decided, why not? On the whole, she really liked him for the first time the way she had otherwise known him. Apparently the weirdo's advice really helped her. Rising from the table, she slightly leaned closer to the skeleton. Everyone else sitting and working in the restaurant immediately, out of curiosity, brought their gazes closer to that couple. They were just waiting for them to kiss. Peepers and Wander were also distracted for a couple of seconds, looking down and seeing Domi approaching Lord Hater's skull with her face. The villainess, strangely enough, approaches the villain, or rather his skull, makes her lips into a tube and kisses him right on his bony lips with teeth. The skeleton itself closes its eyes and responds to her kiss. From what he saw, Peepers bulges his only eye instead of his head, not expecting this. — "This is impossible!" — thought the commander. — "Yes!" — the redhead rejoiced in his thoughts, raising his fist and accidentally pushing the commander. He tries to keep his balance, almost screams and falls. The weirdo manages to grab him by the hand and hold him so that he doesn’t fall on his lord’s skull and break the lords’ kiss. When those below finished kissing, those above pulled themselves back onto the beam. — You?... You saved me? — the commander was surprised. — Yes. Although it’s my own fault that you almost fell, so... Forgive me! — he turned away in shame. However, Peepers was not worried about this now, but about the fact that they kissed below. Apparently he was mistaken about the Dominator and they are by no means as selfish and not as pure evil as he believed her to be. Now he will not be able to kill her, because he will only anger his lord, for whom everything was already beginning to improve.
