...It was half past nine...Giroro and Dororo were in the underground base. Probably near the underground planting grounds, where Dororo would usually stay. He like planting ...and this would've obvious and predictable. The two's relationship had a strong bond...and wasn't broken. But still it wasn't greatly obvious that they had the relationship between each other...in front of Keronians nor Pekoponians.

The two entered the area with some gardening tools, as Giroro...having spare time... offered to help...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The vegetables were ready to be picked but Dororo just left them for maybe a day or so, just to be sure. Giroro, on the other hand , was shoveling the soil to put some new flowers and other vegetative plants in them.

"...wipes his head and takes a breath...wow...Dororo, I didn't know you worked so hard?..." Giroro was quite amazed, as he never helped the light blue Keron before with his gardening.
"...well...It is how it is..."
"...but Dororo...are you sure you're fine with this?..."
"...don't worry Giroro-kun...I'm alright...I've gone through this countless numbers of times...so I'm alright..."

They continued on with the hard labor...it wasn't the right term to explain it but still I'll use this term...they enjoyed it a bit. But still they got dirty...

A message then echoed through the hall...via the intercom of the underground base.

"...Attention...All Keroro Platoon members please report to the briefing room for plans on the next mission...you could say...immediate attendance..." Mois voice was on the microphone as of now.

"...Maybe we should get going...huh Dororo..."
"...Wait Giroro-kun...don't you think we should fix this stuff first..."
"...Oh...never thought of that..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They walked through the hallway after fixing the stuff they had used...Giroro was wiping the dirt of himself while he was talking to Dororo.

"...what has Keroro have up his weird sleeve this time..."
"...So Giroro-kun...what do you think will be Keroro-kun's plan this time..."
"...hnn...Dororo...why are you so curious..."

The look in Dororo's eyes were reminding him of the answer. Dororo, with a sense of getting worried...had the expression plastered on his face.

"...I'm sorry Dororo...I remember why..."

Dororo was offended when endangering the planet was in question, whenever the plans had the words 'destroy' and 'earth' in them. He would be better off walking out than seeing the planet he got used to...get destroyed in the process...or even disrupting the environment was something he couldn't rather stand.

"...no Giroro-kun...it's alright..."

They continued on walking until they reached the briefing room. They pushed the door open to see the three other members, even though they were lazing off, were seated by the table doing nothing yet. The two took their seats as well as the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keroro started blurting out his plan. It involved cutting down the trees and disposing of them. As the trees are a main source of their air supply and the foundation for most of the objects laid out through Earth. It sounded perfect...but only for Keroro.

"...I wont tolerate this!..." Dororo exclaimed out.

The light blue ninja walked out the door, slamming it while he was at it. He was furious with the plan. It is clear he will never participate in plans such as these. Besides this, this is the most dangerous mission to be in.

"...Dororo..." Giroro ran after the ninja.
"...eh...what's wrong with him..."

The two members along with Mois then complained about the plain laid out on the table.

"...sergeant...don't you think if we disposed of the trees...then there would be no Pekopon to conquer because everybody would end up dead...and that's not in the mission...well not yet...kukukukuku..."
"...And Gunsou-san...don't you think that Momo-chii and the others are important...desuu..."
"...you could say...total annihilation..."

I don't know if frogs need oxygen but still, Keroro was dead in his tracks. The complaints were right...he couldn't use this as a plan. He canceled this as a result.

Keroro you airhead...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the hallway. Giroro caught up with Dororo, as he was just walking briskly but silently. His feet were tapping on the metal flooring. Dororo calmed down...he wasn't that furious...not like Tamama...who would throw a fit for things unnecessary...but I'm just not sure if it was unnecessary this time. But scratching that out, Dororo was just fine . Giroro was running after Dororo, hoping to see him alright.

"...Dororo..." Giroro shouted through the hallway at the top of his breath.
"...Giroro-kun..." Dororo turned around, pausing his movement.

Giroro caught up with his friend and apologized.

"...No...Giroro-kun...It's my fault...I shouldn't have done that..."
"...Don't be...This time it was quite serious...so I would be better off blaming that stupid Keroro for that..."
"...but...Giro--"
"..don't say anymore...we're better off not talking about this..."

The red hand slipped onto the masked lips. Dororo nodded, just as a simple response. They walked back aboveground...hoping they could release their tension...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the sergeant's room...Kururu was tapping upon the keys of the keyboard of his top class laptop. He was rather bored and disappointed with the sergeant's plan of choice. As their mission was to conquer...not to kill Pekopon. As without the certain element...Pekopon would be just a pile of space rubble.

The yellow frog was laying on the floor, chewing his gum while he was scanning the files on his computer. He was rather bored...so he scanned the program for ... the security cam...

"...kukukukuku...I guess those two are at it again..."

He spotted Giroro and Dororo. Dororo was laying on the corporals lap...hoping to rest a bit. He linked his headphones to the sound feed and listened in.

"...Giroro-kun...don't you feel awkward when I'm on your lap..."
"...hmm...why's that Dororo?..."
"...I just wanted to know if..."
"...Dororo...I'm just fine with you there...Like you and the way you work hard...I got used to it..."

It has been some time since their relationship had appeared and flourished more... so Giroro was always used to Dororo passing by almost every single day.

"...At first I felt that way...but now I feel closer to you..."
"...It's been quite long since I've seen you like this...Giroro-kun..."
"...heh...I guess it has..."

Meanwhile...Kururu kept tuning in to the conversation...and yet he was still bored...

"...grunts...this is beginning to get boring..."

Disappointed at the footage he tried to see as fun...he now thought of it as something as he could just watch like a daily TV show with a quite down going plot. He closed the feed and shut down his laptop. Walked back to his laboratory and, after typing a bit, slept on the high tech keyboard surface.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Giroro and Dororo walked past the children's park...with their tensions aside them for the meantime. They just wanted some fun...even smiles could've helped.

"...I guess...things here on Pekopon are rather...similar to our planet...huh Giroro-kun?..."
"...Yeah...It looks almost the same..."

They looked at the children running around and playing toys.

"...So what do you think will happen...once Keroro-kun conquers Pekopon?..." Dororo said in a rather worried voice. He looked down...just trying to not see the end result because the love for the planet has stayed in his mind and heart...

"...Well...I can't really tell..."
"...I guess there are different outcomes to this, aren't there..."
"...I know our mission is to take over Pekopon...but now I don't know if it's right, Dororo..."
"...It's decided right...so I suppose we don't have a choice...sighs..."
"...Dororo..."

They walked by the tree while they were invisible...quite different for a stroll but still...

Their minds wandered. They didn't know what to think of...as this day was having something rough spat all over the place. Confused if they wanted Keronians to rule Pekopon or not...they just tried to walk past it. They returned back home...trying to look normal. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a quite regretful Keroro.

"...Dororo...I'm sorry about today's plan...It was quite harsh and I'll never do it again..."
"...It's okay Keroro-kun...I accept your apology..."
"...You should be more careful when picking your plans Keroro..."
"...heh...I guess I should...I promise, Dororo...tomorrows plan wont offend you... well supposedly..."

...but still there was a question lying beyond that...

...what was their plan when they do conquer Pekopon?...
