Chapter Nine: A Few More Dates Later
November 19, 2023 at 4:41 AM
Wander kept his promise. Or rather, at first I tried to restrain him. First of all, he went in search of Sylvia. She is probably already worried and is already looking for him, as he had already suspected in advance, for he himself had not been near her for a long time. He went to a blue-light planet with blue sand. There Sylvia lit a fire and roasted sausages on spits. Zbornak saw her red-haired friend in a green hat from afar and smiled. She was very glad to see him and immediately stretched out her arms, when the weirdo immediately ran to her into a hug.
β Strength!
β Wander! And Iβm looking for you everywhere and looking for you! Where have you been? she asked.
β I m...
β Donβt tell me that you were on the ships of Hater and Dominator! We agreed on this.
β Yes, yes, yes, I remember. Don't worry! I didnβt fly here or there. - the redhead lied. Maybe she won't notice. However, Zbornak looked at him sternly with an incredulous look. She immediately realized that he was hiding something from her. Ryzhik lowers his head and guiltily takes off his hat. β Well, yes, yes! I disobeyed you again!
β Wander! β Sylvia rolled her gaze.
β Let me explain before we start scolding me. β he asked her and her friend somehow calmed down, deciding to listen to him.
β Let's! Explain!
β All in all. I'm sorry that I disobeyed you once again. I remember that you forbade me to penetrate them, but you know me very well, what I am like at heart. I'm tempted to help everyone and everything. Even this. But if it makes you happy, they didn't kill me at all.
β No? - Sylvia didnβt believe it.
β No. β the weirdo answered in confirmation. β Besides, I didnβt run away. They let me go themselves.
β By yourself? β she still didnβt believe it, although this time she didnβt have any suspicions, because now he really wasnβt lying to her. β But why?
β Three reasons. β answered Wander and began to count on his fingers. β I revealed to each of them the secret that I am immortal. I came as usual to help them. I finally achieved what I wanted.
β What? β Sylvia's eyes widened.
β You wonβt believe it, but I invited both Heiti and Domi to each come to the same restaurant on the same planet, so that they could meet there, talk to each other, get to know each other better, and then they kissed. β At the last word, the weirdo himself made his lips into a tube, imagining this moment when he remembered. β Heiti and Domi finally fell in love with each other and will date together.
β I can not believe it! β all that Sylvia could say out loud from what she heard.
β But itβs true, Sil! β the weirdo insisted to his friend out of misunderstanding. She patted him lightly on the head.
β I believe you, Here-And-There. I just can't believe it myself.
β I know itβs hard to believe, but itβs true. Yes and more. Before I was released, I swore an oath to Pips that I would never again flatter them on their ships and stop them from capturing planets, and you should never attack or beat them up again. Have you gotten the hang of it?
Ryzhik extends his hand, and Sylvia hesitates at first, because it seems somehow suspicious.
β Are you sure? - Sylvia asked incredulously.
β They told me so themselves. I gave them an oath that I would even talk to you about this topic, and at the same time they swore their oath that next time they would not hunt or try to catch us. And just from now on just invite us to visit. If they want it, of course. β explained Here-And-There, and Sylvia thought about it for a long time and decided that this might be right.
β Deal! β and the friend shook her red-haired wandererβs hand.
At that moment, one of the Dominatorβs house-bots arrived on this very planet, which discovered Wander and Sylvia themselves. As soon as he approached them, Sylvia took a fighting stance and for now stood with her back behind Wander. The bot came a little closer and spoke:
β Hello, citizen Sylvia! I'm looking for your friend Wander. Will you allow me to speak to him personally, if you don't mind?
Sylvia found this suspicious.
β Better talk to him in front of me! And if you suddenly dare to hurt him, then I will break you for scrap. β she answered the bot threateningly.
β As you say, but I did not come to fight you or take you prisoner, but simply to convey a message from Lord Dominator. β the bot explained, to which both wanderers were surprised.
β A message from Domi?... To us?... β asked the redhead with a smile.
β Yes, you! She says that she urgently needs your help and refusal will not be accepted. β the bot explained, then he activated his jetpack and flew into space from this planet, leaving Wander and Sylvia alone on this planet, reasoning.
β Are you sure this isn't a trap? β Sylvia asked Wander.
β Please, Sil. For once in your life, in this situation, believe me. We have to go if they are asking for help. β said the redhead.
β I understand, but what if this is a trap? β Zbornak doubted.
β Strength! β Immediately, unexpectedly for her, the weirdo himself looked sternly into her friendβs eyes and she answered in fear:
β Okay Okay! Went! Just let's finish the sausages first. β suggested Sylvia.
β Come on, otherwise I just woke up and went to look for you, but didnβt have breakfast. β explained Here-And-There and sat down next to his friend by the fire.
But letβs not hold grudges or anger towards this!

After a snack with sausages, Wander riding on Sylvia, surrounded together inside the bubble, flew to the Dominator, for she herself invited them to her and asked for help. But what kind of help she asks them for remains to be seen. Having reached the flagship, the hatch opened and all the bots... No, they did not arrest them or even greet them with hostility, but greeted them, which Sylvia was a little surprised by. As they promised, they arrived at Domi and entered the cockpit. β Your Highness! β The redhead bowed before the villainess, as if before his queen. β Did you call? β I called. I need your help, unless of course you refuse me. β answered Dominator. β Okay. β Sylvia said a little incredulously, folding her hands on her chest. β And what can we help you with? Keep in mind, if this is about capturing planets, we wonβt help you here. β That's not what I'm talking about! β Domi explained and continued: β I had a dream today. There was me... And Hayter. - She smiled at Hayterβs name. - And we were together... I felt so good until I woke up completely alone in bed... I now have the feeling that I cannot continue to live without Hater... You will help me completely get along with him and unite so we can work together? β What is the question? Of course we will help you with this. β The redhead extended a helping hand and the Dominator shook his hand. She extended her other hand towards the zbornak, so that she, too, would offer her hand and shake his as well. At first she doubted whether they were doing the right thing. However, looking at Wander, who smiled and with his own glance hinted that she would agree, the zbornak also shakes the villainessβs hand.***
Wander and Sylvia, of course, kept their promise and helped her and Hayter improve their relationship. Namely, they helped her arrange a few more dates for the two lords. The first such date took place on a desert planet, next to the sea, as if they were on the beach. The skeleton and the girl lay under umbrellas, sometimes looking at each other and drinking cool drinks.***
The next date was a meeting, like the first time, in the same restaurant on the same planet with a funny name. But this time both lords were not shy and became more sociable to each other. And just like that last time, they said goodbye to each other with a kiss. Peepers did not interfere this time, just like last time, and the subsequent ones too.***
The third date took place on a planet that many kids call Paradise, because there are many attractions for entertainment there. Since Lord Hater was a child at heart, he had fun, for example, riding on a carousel or on high slides. The Dominator, on the contrary, was not interested at first and she also did not want to have fun, thinking that all this nonsense was only for the little ones. However, Here-And-There and Sylvia secretly convinced her to try riding the same roller coaster. Oddly enough, she liked it and wanted it again. The second time she rode with Hayter in an embrace. It was not only fun and scary, but also romantic. After they finished having fun and even ate cotton candy, they kissed goodbye again and went back to their ships.***
The fourth date was no longer really a date, but rather more like an invitation to some friendly fun between a friend and a friend. On one blue planet there was a party and get-together, where everyone was having fun and dancing. Domi especially wanted to go there to have fun. And Heyti really loved having fun with parties. In this regard they were also similar to each other. At one point, Dominator even admitted to Hater that she was even amused by his jokes on the topic of fun.***
The fifth date was almost the same as the fourth. Only this time both lords decided to meet on the same planet in a different building. Just not to have fun at night until the morning, but during the day until the evening, so that you can return to your ships early. They played bowling all this time until the evening. The Dominator loved playing this game. True, the skeleton was not comfortable. Either the bone fingers got stuck in the holes for the balls, or the floor was slippery. Hater was so enraged by this that he began to throw green lightning throughout the building out of anger until he started a fire. This, by the way, amused the Dominator. She was not at all angry with him or offended for such behavior, but on the contrary, she took pity on him and politely forgave him for such an outburst, perfectly understanding his vindictiveness, as well as his inability to restrain his anger. After such a bit of unsuccessful fun, they kissed goodbye again and parted, going back to their home ships. And even earlier than planned, due to Hayterβs rather funny prank.***
The sixth date was already on the skull ship, where Hater himself invited the Dominator this time. They just had a little snack, chatted and Domi left his ship.***
The seventh date was the same. Itβs just that Domi also decided to invite Heiti to her place and in general everything was the same. They ate a little, talked and the skeleton went back to his ship.***
And for now, the last meeting between the lords, or more precisely, the lord and lady. In general, it took place on a heart-shaped planet, where they simply walked, also communicated with each other, and thereby got to know each other more. Now they both understood that they liked each other, which means they could not live without each other.***
Today was the day when Lord Hater and Lord Dominator both finally decided that they wanted to be together. They want to get married. Previously, Hater himself wanted to achieve this from the very beginning with the Dominator, but now she is just as attracted to him. Each of them, except Peepers, clearly decided that since they now know each other very well, itβs time to get married. More precisely, itβs not time yet, we still need to prepare for it. Heiti and Domi knew perfectly well what needed to be done for this. Only one humanoid will help them in this, they even called his name out loud at the same time, being in different places. β Wander!
