Sylvia and Wander were casually strolling through the small town, careful enough to make sure they didn't bump into anyone. As they passed the park to get to the nearest place to get food, the zbornak noticed that besides the giant stone statue of a star nomad (judging by the crown on the head, they were royalty) that was in the middle of the park, the park had been decorated with banners that had something written in a language she didn't understand. She noticed there were also orange and blue bouquets that were at the foot of the statue.

"Hey Wander, who is that?" Sylvia pondered out loud. No reply. She turned her head to glance at her friend. She frowned when she realized Wander still wore the sad expression he wore when they were traveling to Planet Nebula. The zbornak tapped her companion's shoulder a couple of times. The orange star nomad whipped his head up to face Sylvia, confusion spread across his face.

"Hey buddy, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Just thinking."
"If ya say so, buddy..."
"What were ya askin', Syl?"
"I was asking about the statue. Who is that?"
"Oh. That is-" before Wander could finish his sentence, a yellow star nomad walked up towards them. He wore a black top-hat, black vest, green bow-tie, black dress shoes with spats. Since he was of average height and a bit pudgy in the middle, his black moustache and yellow fur was the distinctive features, besides his infamous deeds.

"Howdy, Li'l Wan! Fancy meetin' ya here." the yellow star nomad grinned from ear to ear. He held his hand out for Wander to shake. Sylvia's eyes darted from Wander to this strange fellow. She became more alert when a grey star nomad approached the yellow one from behind. The grey star nomad had her blonde hair in a bob hairdo. She wore a blue polo-neck that had a white stripe in the middle. She wore black pants and brown boots that had darker brown toes and sole. She didn't appear to be a fighter, but she knew from experience that looks can be deceiving.

"Howdy, Mr. Slick. Didn't expect to see ya here. This is Sylvia, my traveling partner. Sylvia, this is Mr. Slick. He's a salesman." Wander shook the offered hand, yet his confusion was etched on his face. The grey star nomad decided to speak up.
"Hello there. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Howdy, ma'am. Say Mr. Slick, who is this?"
"Li'l Wan, Tough Miss, this is Dr. Alma. She's my traveling partner, doctor and my wife."
"Wow, you're married? That's great. Are ya two on honeymoon, then?"

Dr. Alma frowned at Mr. Slick before she cleared her throat. Mr. Slick grinned sheepishly at her in response.
"Actually, we are here for the ...hm...event. You did receive that message every star nomad received, right?"
"Well..." Wander avoided her gaze. Sylvia raised her brow when she noticed her friend's reaction.
"You don't have a way to keep contact with your fellow star nomads?"
"...No..." the orange star nomad suddenly found his shoes the most fascinating shoes in the entire world.
"But, everyone was able to keep contact with everyone after the...you know. How come you're the only one that didn't?" the grey star nomad wondered out loud to herself.

Noticing how uncomfortable her friend appeared to be, Sylvia decided to help.
"Who knows. Hey Wander, let's go and get some jellyfish pie."
"Oh, yeah. Hate to cut this short, but we gotta go. Seeya." Wander waved them goodbye. The couple waved them goodbye, not finding anything odd at all.

After a couple more minutes of strolling, they finally found a deli/ bakery. It was a small shop that had its name "Sweet Upper Crest" written on the window from the inside.

"Welcome to Sweet Upper Crust." a low, feminine voice spoke the moment Sylvia and Wander entered the shop. Behind the counter stood a star nomad. Her fur was amaranth pink while her waist-length plaited hair was an Amaranth deep purple. She wore a Fuschia knee-length long-sleeve dress and a white apron. Although Sylvia couldn't see it, she wore antique ruby slip-on sneakers.

An expression of recognition appeared across Wander's face before he stood behind the counter, Syliva behind him to check out the menu and specials that was scribbled on the blackboard behind the counter. If Sylvia noticed it, she didn't mention it at all.
"Howdy, ma'am." Wander grinned at the pink nomad happily, almost as she was a good friend of his.
"Hello, there.", the lady responded, not phased. She had a double-take, "Say, if you don't mind me asking, do I know you from somewhere?"

To Sylvia's surprise, Wander's entire body went rigid for a moment.
"Sorry Ma'am, I guess I simply look like someone you know."
"Hmm. Well, you do look remarkably similar to him...oh well. Would you like to try today's specials? They're the Blorpberry pie, the Blopberry Swirl coconut milk ice-cream, Blorpberry waffles and the Blorpberry muffins."
"Wow, they're my favourites! I'll like all of them, please." Wander bubbled happily. The lady blinked in surprise.
"Wow, you even have the same tastes as him."
"Say, do you have any jellyfish pie?" Sylvia's mouth watered as she imagined sinking her teeth into a slice.
"Oh yes, we do. We also have different flavours of ice-cream, hoagies, biscuits, scones, doughnuts and other pie flavours."
"Great. I'll have the jellyfish pie."
"Interesting choice. Please wait a moment while I get your order ready. Please have a seat at the tables."

While Wander strolled to their table, Sylvia decided that it was the perfect time to get some questions answered. She cleared her throat to get the pink star nomad's attention. As soon as she was close enough, she whispered in the lady's ear.
"Say, do you know why there's decorations in the park? Is today a holiday?"
"Well, it is an anniversary of a tremendous event that happened years ago."
"Oh?"
"Today is the anniversary of the day our planet was destroyed by an asteroid."
"Your planet was destroyed?" Sylvia echoed the words. Wait, could that be the reason why Wander was so down? It made sense...

"It also marks the anniversary of our king's death. We call today The Honor, in honor of our king's sacrifice to save us."

To be concluded...
