Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thy self thy beauty's legacy?
Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend,
And being frank she lends to those are free:
Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse
The bounteous largess given thee to give?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
For having traffic with thy self alone,
Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive:
Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,
Which, used, lives th' executor to be.

-William Shakespeare

Chapter 2

(Dante's pov)

Miyu helped me sit down as she started cooking homemade Ramen(at least she wasn't making those Ramen noodles that come in boxes cause they are disgusting. Salt is too overwhelming.). As she was cooking, the slide door from the front of the house quickly opens and I see...Miyu's identical twin (I think cause they look identical.).

"Konnichiwa(Good afternoon.)! How is everyone doing?"

Oh boy...you know in anime shows where you have this one kid in school who wears a black school uniform, a black cap and carries a wooden sword? Yeah...that's what this Hylotl looks like only that wooden "sword" looks likes it's concealing the actual sword in it. So she noticed me, quickly sits to giving me a feral grin.

"Dante-kun! So glad to see you up and alive! Had me worried that my sister was carrying around a corpse the whole time." She said as Miyu glared at her.

Please don't do that Goro Majima impersonation...it's terrifying.

"Not funny, Yumi. He saved my life from those tentacles that appeared from the ground." Miyu frowned.

"Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad he's alive. Still...it looked like you were holding a corpse." Yumi snickered.

Yumi's face gets to mine as she kissed me on the face for 5 seconds and the only thing in my mind is "WHAT?!" So I have two girlfriends...I'm not complaining but this is so sudden...No...calm down, man. The Hylotl are peaceful beings. They have no intentions in harming you...if it was Florans, that would be a total different ball game...well certain Florans...cause let's face it. I'm not saying I hate Florans in fact I find them fascinating it's that(so that people who love Florans don't take this the wrong way.)...there's some who aren't a bunch of savages...and they are some who with hunt you down on sight. So be careful if you ever come across them...now where was I...? Oh yes...

"You have a sick sense of humor." I sighed as I shook my head a bit.

"Ah...lighten up. I was just joking." She snickered.

"Sure you were..." I joked.

A couple of hours later, Miyu finished making Ramen noodles and placed a bowl in front of me, another bowl for Yumi and one more for Miyu. We prayed (you'd be quite surprised how the Hylotl have similar traditions as the Asians in real life.) for a bit and began eating.

"So Dante. What are you gonna do once you recover?" Miyu asks me.

"To be honest...nothing. my home planet got destroyed...my ship was demolished during the attack...so I guess I'm living with you guys." I sighed as Yumi looked at me with a neutral expression on her face.

"I'm guessing the survivors are finding a home of their own. Just hope they find one that is safe to call home. Not many planets are safe or habitable." Miyu said as I nod grimly.

"I hope for their sake they find somewhere safe." I closed my eyes for a bit.

Yeah...finding home is hard in Starbound and you need to find that is not too dangerous or not too hazardous with the enviroment.

"Meow!"

I look behind me to a grey mixed with black cat with black stripes walking towards me and rubbing her head towards my leg.

"She's been worried sick about you. I tried giving her canned food but she cried with sorrow non-stop." Miyu said with sorrow as Yumi nods.

I softly pet the cat's head and saw the tag on her collar with the name "Precious." on it.

"Hey, girl. I'm okay. No need to worry. I'm not going anywhere." I smiled softly.

She purred a bit as she continued rubbing her head on my hand. Once she was satisfied, she walked to her bed as I smiled at my cat as I turned back to Yumi and Miyu.

"At least she's calm now...anyway...I hope I don't become a nuisance with me staying with you guys..." I look at them rather worry.

"What? Why would you say that?" Yumi crossed her arms a bit.

"Well...see...I don't want to be a burden cause of my condition."

*Whack!*

"Ow!" I held my head from the swing of that wooden sword.

"Don't talk stupid like that. We don't mind if you are a "burden". We still love you and we care about you. Just all you need to do is stay out of trouble."

"Hai (Yes.). I agree with my sister. We care about you and we will be sure you are out of trouble if we have to." Miyu nods.

So they are twins...I feel like I'm about to get a boner over this.

"Thanks..." I smiled a bit.

2 hours later...I decided to look at some pictures in one of the books and sure enough I see a younger version of me smiling at the camera with Yumi and Miyu...it goes on. I find pictures of myself in the academy with a gun in target practice and a...okay I'll spare you. The "update" took me into the Starbound universe and overwritten my life...sweet Jesus on a cross...now I feel kind of mad that happened to me...but part of me just says "It's my dream come true.". I wonder if this was Finn's intentions...if so, then I'm gonna have to question him about that...if he's around that is.

"Hey, Dante?" I heard Miyu.

"Yeah?" I said as I looked behind me.

"I got the room setup for you."

"Thanks." I said as I put the photo album down.

When Miyu escorted me to my new room...it looked amazing. A tatami room? Awesome. Gives that peaceful vibe the moment you come in the room.

"Wow...I've always wondered what kind of home design from a Hylotl would look like but this is...astonishingly amazing." I smiled.

"Thank you." She giggled.

She helps me lay down on the Fùton and puts the blanket on me along with a kiss to the cheek...

"Get some rest, okay? Hopefully the effects of the stimpacks can speed up the recovery rate once you rest. Oh and before I forget. Tomorrow my father is coming to check on us. He was worried sick and cried up a river when he thought we were dead." Miyu tells me.

"Who wouldn't? If I was him, I would too." I sighed.

I wonder what her father looks like...actually...I probably don't want to know cause for all I know, he could be a built Hylotl like something from a Yakuza(the game.) boss (seriously. The Hylotl are vegetarian and the first thing that's on my mind is that they are built as fuck because of them staying healthy. Christ that's something I should really be afraid of.).

"So Ka (I get it.). He cares about us and losing us would be traumatic for him." She nods slightly.

"Indeed...well...enough talk for the day...I'll get some rest. Night." I smiled more.

"Sweet dreams." She smiled as she turned off the lights and left my room.

What a day...
