      Lord Hater and Lord Dominator leave the restaurant holding each other's hands without noticing. Having only now noticed this, they let go of each other and both of their cheeks turn red, and then they giggle to the side. Afterwards they go their separate ways, but before that they look at each other one last time. Domi even winked at him and waved goodbye, which the skeleton himself also did with his hand in response. They silently said goodbye and parted ways, but promised each other that they would meet again. After that night spent on that planet in the restaurant, both lords returned to their ships and returned to their business. As always, both began to simply capture planets for themselves. Yes, even the Dominator, but this time she kept her promise to Here-and-There, not to destroy the galaxy. Wander was truly calm now and believed that he had finally achieved what he wanted. Resting and spending the night in the forest, remaining on that same planet, he looked at the stars in the night sky and fell asleep.

In the next morning

      Wander wakes up in a cell on the skull ship. Although he remembered very well that he fell asleep on that planet in nature. Apparently the patrols, on the orders of Heyti or Pips, dragged him here while he was sleeping. He stood up from his bed, crawling out of his hat, as if from a sleeping bag, and looked at the bars, behind which Peepers himself stood and looked at him menacingly with his only eye, folding his hands on his chest. The weirdo realized that it was apparently he who ordered him to be captured and put here. But he didn’t understand why? What did he do to him that was so bad? Ryzhik stood up, dangling his legs down, sitting on the bed and was the first to break the silence: — Forgive me for my rudeness, Pips, but... Why did you kidnap me? And why didn’t you at least warn me that you wanted to kidnap me? — Good question! — the commander answered calmly, despite the menacing look. — Why did you intervene there in the restaurant and prevent me from killing her?... And why did you specifically... What is it called?... Shippered my lord with her?... Why? — Pips, forgive me! I didn’t think that you would go there too... — at first the weirdo apologized, and then for the first time he surprisingly made a serious face and shouted at the commander, who made his eye bulge in surprise. — BUT WHAT THE FELL DID YOU APPEAR THERE AND WANTED TO KILL DOMI!!! YOU NEARLY FUllING RUINED MY PLAN!!! Peepers recovered from his surprise and calmly explained: — First of all... Don’t yell at me!... I’m still the commander, and you’re my prisoner. — Sorry! — the redhead apologized, and the little eye continued: — And secondly: I planned this from the very beginning. She is our competitor. The competing conquerors do not have any friendly or romantic relationships with each other and will never work together, because each of them is on his own... However, you were able to surprise me when you finally achieved that Hater and Dominator kissed... Bravo ! You did it after all! Congratulate! — of course he said this with sarcasm. — But that’s not the only reason I kidnapped you and locked you here while you slept. — I have one more question for you... Why the hell are you always pestering us and stopping us from capturing planets, and also not letting us mind our own business?... Every time we seem to capture planets, you always appear with your blue mare and always ruin everything for us. You distract our lord with yourself, and your neighing beats me and my army almost to death. It infuriates me! Wander felt ashamed of what he had just heard from the commander. — I’m sorry, I’m really sorry that Sil beats you all so painfully... I promise, if you let me go, I’ll convey your complaint to her and try to dissuade her so that she doesn’t beat you anymore. — And so that you yourself, at least alone, at least together with her, no longer pester us and do not prevent us from capturing planets! Clear? — Peepers added, raising his right index finger. — Okay, okay, whatever you say! Well, about other things. I already agreed on this with Heiti yesterday, when I invited him to go there to that restaurant on a date. Therefore, I would still agree to these conditions that you offered me, if you at least didn’t kidnap me, but just invited me to your place just to talk or for tea, for example. — I'll give you tea right now! — the commander said rudely and took out a blaster, aiming at him. — Well, I said it wrong again. I just politely offered you advice for the future so that you don’t kidnap me again if you suddenly decide to just talk to me. Or should I break the promise I made to you after you let me go? — How convenient! If you break your promise, then I will have to kill you... Wander. — Didn’t Heiti tell you that I’m immortal? — The redhead was a little surprised, and then the commander’s eyes bulged at what he heard: — What? — Clearly, Heyti never told you... Listen, Pips! I don’t remember who I was a long time ago or what my real first name was. The only thing I remember is that I have been alive for billions of years. I am immortal. I even tried to kill myself somehow, but I cannot die. Bullets, lasers and bombs are not for me. Do not believe? Then shoot me right in the head and see for yourself! Shoot! I'll just fall and then get up as if nothing happened. — You’re not saying all this seriously, but on purpose so that I don’t shoot at you? Do you think I'm a naive idiot? — Peepers asked. — Think what you want for yourself. I just want to convey the truth to you, and I want you to be convinced for yourself. I say shoot! — Okay. — the commander answers and finally shot him in the head. The laser bullet went through his head, splashing out a few drops of blood through the back of his head. The weirdo first fell to the floor with a groan. It seemed that he had died. However, after three seconds, he sharply raised his right hand with his index finger and said through groans: — Fine! I'm fine! Give me one second! — he asked and regeneration restored the wound in his head. Then he abruptly stood up with a cheerful face, shouting: — TADA-A-AM!!! Thanks for refreshing my brain a little. Now I remembered how to tie my shoelaces, since I had not tied them for a long time, as a result of which I forgot about it. — he said and re-tied the laces on his sneakers. — Well, I’m convinced that I’m not lying at all. I can't die. — Yes... Now I believe. — said Peepers, there was no aisle to his surprise. He was in such wild shock. How could he not have known or guessed about this for a long time? And most importantly, why did he only tell his lord about his immortality, but not him himself? — Since I swore an oath to you that I will no longer pester you and I promise that I will talk with Sil on this topic, then you too give me a promise. Next time, if you want to just talk to me. Then don’t kidnap us and don’t take us prisoner, but just first of all, at least call us, write a letter, or just invite us to visit, at least for tea. This will be polite and clear that you just want to talk to us. Peepers narrowed his one eye in anger and let out a roar for a couple of seconds. Then he replied: — Okay. Taking out the key card, he inserted it into the card receiver and removed the laser cage, releasing the weirdo into the wild. — You can go, you are free! — Thank you. — he told the commander, smiling, walked along the corridor, went out to the hatch, and when the jaw itself opened, Wander, surrounding himself with an orbital bubble, flew out. He now headed far, far away. The commander himself looked through the window as the weirdo flew further and further away from their ship until he disappeared from sight. Anger, misunderstanding and resentment consumed his mind. He now wants to personally talk about all this with the lord himself. Especially regarding the topic of Wander’s immortality and why didn’t he tell him about it himself before?
