Don't judge a book for its cover, it can blast you away
Garry wasn't entirely convinced to do this but he just couldn't take more risks, at this point even he knew they were in some deep shit and whatever decision he makes from now on that could cost them a lot and they just can't afford any more damage.
He was too damn broken for that.
The air in Yarno makes him feel like they were going to the beach; it feels humid, warm and makes him wanna scratch his nose, and even if he try to low his expectation about the place but even with that, he could feel the little pang of disappointment inside him as the arid panorama show in front of them.
A lanky alien show them a big happy smile as they step out, Gary think once.
"Gworplo! I'm Zargon Tukalishi, and welcome to Yarn-" and bigger alien came screaming and rip their heads off and Gary thinks twice before said something to them. Mooncake search cover behind him as they take the entire picture in.
"Looks like they've made some changes around here" beside him, Avocato face show the same doubt he feels growing inside his guts.
"You don't say" maybe Gary wasn't the smartest person but a child would be capable to notice the shifty atmosphere "because the Deathcropolis just sounded like a lovely church picnic" at this point you can't really blame him for that snarky comment, he's terrified and that helps him dealing with it, how do you think he manage to not go loco this 5 years?
A whimper brought him back to the present and automatically he pat his green friend in the top of their head "don't worry, Mooncake" he open the backpack with a reassuring smile and the floating alien goes inside of it "we got this".
We got this
Oh, how much he wants to believe it.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Avocato say they have to stay focus it was just an in an out kind of situation and they can't afford to get distracted by whateve-
"Oh sweet! They're just handing out free candy!" in his defense how can anyone say no to free food, even worst say no to candy!
He felt everything got lighter, his arms, his legs his brain and in general all his surrounding got brighter, colorfully…
Happier.
The word was turning and shifting with all kind of color and figures, nothing was consistence, all was changing but in a good way. He can't feel pain, sorrow or other bad stuff that weren't good and mushy; he never has feel so great in a loooong time, oh! He wishes he just could stay like this and then it got better.
Avocato came in the picture.
The feline, if it was possible, was ten thousand more handsome and the big dopey smile he carries make his face glows, his ears moving along the shifting look so soft and Gary wonders how smooth they were.
This guy was just too damn cute.
And hey! A Popsicle was in sight too! Maybe they would share it that will be ni-
The next thing he knows he was laying on the ground and with a big ass dart in one of his chesticles.

Quinn was just not having it.
Before her encounter with douche canoe, she receives a pre-recorder transition from Triborn and basically she was in more troubles than the time she try to make and new prototype of engineer with uranium.
What! It was for her sister birthday and she knew a guy.
So yeah, if she wasn't in the black list of dangerous criminal, now's a 100% confirmation with those 47 laws she just broke today.
The stolen ship detected an incoming cruiser and she curse loud and proud.
Honestly, she could have broken a few more.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
This wasn't good.
"No one's saying goodbye, here" against better judgment Gary just felt a huge déjà vu about this moment also, add a big churning feeling in the pit of his stomach, he really just want to throw up.
But he has to be brave and so does Mooncake.
"I'll be back as soon as I can" he promise, cause is the only thing he could manage to do, no matter how much the buzzes inside him tells him to grab his little friend an run "It's only temporary"
I promise
Avocato was there, leaning a supportive hand and reassuring word, the blonde just took another breath hopping and believing his friends words, Mooncake would be fine, they were fine before him and they will be fine now.
"By the way, I never got your name, mister …"
"Stevil"
Well, fuck.

Recently Gary got dreamless nights, thanks to H.U.E, but regularly his nights were filled with darkness, voices, plain and pure dread, he was use to the cold sweat that run for his back , the unregularly breathing like he was gasping for his last air.
Also thanks to H.U.E, Gary got used to hear his synthetic voice every time this happed and like hot cocoa H.U.E talking brought him back enough to regain control over himself, sometimes Gary manage convince the AI to stay and they stay hour talking about space and bugs (Gary always left them speechless every time he got an answer faster than them)
But this.
"I missed you"
This was just plain wrong.
Just when he though their problems just consist in murderous cookies and the real possibility to die for real, Gary just couldn't stand the view in front of them.
Unconsciously he gave a step forward, this was it, this is what he always wants.
This was bad he knew and this wasn't real but someone says that fiction is better that reality, his eyes were burning; for the lava or the overwhelm feeling that was stuck in his throat he really wasn't sure anymore, he just want to feel safe like nothing was falling apart or that there were more than dead ends, have logic and probability even when he don't believe in all that crap.
Quinn was all that.
Seconds later he was on the floor "get off me!"
"Gary, don't listen to her" Avocato wasn't budging it "you need to trust me on this one, they aren't real."
"Are we going home, dad?"
Gary felt Avocato's grip tighter as his voice breaks just a little "trust me, buddy"
They had to wake up, he knows, Avocato knows, the fucking floating illusions a few feet's ahead of him knew, at this point Gary have had enough.
"I don't want to wake up"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"What the mother-loving crap is Final Space?"
Lord Commander was lurking above them with his eyes brightening and a confident creepy smile that was just doing a good gob giving him Goosebumps.
"Should we play a game, Gary?" Ah no thanks, he just got out a dangerous one "I love games" who doesn't?
"I always win"
Light.
That's was all he could see for a sec, everything goes static and silent at the same moment he thought they were done and then reality slap the shit out of him "OH, my gosh!" Little green ball friend that's harmless gumball of love did what now?
"Sweet Grandor's glove! You are a planet-destroying super weapon!" His friend looks a little down after he mentions it but it could really be just a side effect of his SUPER AWESOME LEATHAL BEAM!
They have a chance to win this.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After H.U.E and KNV rescue them from Yarno, Gary felt like 5 years of his life got drained of his body but they made it, it was safe now.
For the corner of his eye the blonde notice the little guy left the room and follows them and after some searching I found them in one of the halls whimpering softly and when he made his presence they got away, like it could harm him
"So you shoot a murder beam out of your face hole" he gave a tentative step to them "so what? I mean, it happens to the best of us." Of course he was comparing his beam with one of his face killing burrito because yeah, that's exactly the same, right?
Mooncake wasn't really convinced so he gave up his act and goes for it. "I mean, I just want you to know that that doesn't change anything between you and this guy" he says as hi point his reflection, this was it! Finally a win.
"Me?" Aaaaand of course KVN have to ruin it, Damn it!
Gary believes in second chance; redemption, no judging at first glance, giving an opportunity to prove him wrong, no everything was just death and dark.
So, why he should be different to this little fella?
"I'm never going to let you go again" and just with that he got Mooncake all over him, he corresponded with energy as he let a chuckle out "I'm starting to like these"
Just when everything could be safe and good an alarm goes off.
"Mayday, mayday! This is Quinn Airgon! Can someone hear me? Help me!"
Oh, my crap.
Quinn.
