…To a scene zooming out of a familiar orange furry hero's yawn.
Wander was currently on his back, resting his eyes to get a good recharge. Even he needs to take it slow once in a while, after all. After everything he's done for the galaxy - Protect the citizens of each planet and making friends with literally everyone he meets - he was content with giving himself a break.
His trusty steed Sylvia was also with him, enjoying the idea of having good sleep more than her friend and rider. She was, at the moment, curled up as usual, having Wander resting on her back. She was more than happy to take part on Wander's adventures, even when she has to be the voice of reason for a lot of them.
Wander took a breath and let out a satisfying sigh. "There's nothing like taking a nap after helping out the whole galaxy, eh Sylvia."
"You said it bud." Sylvia agreed, though it was halfhearted. "Literally, you said that exact thing four times in the past hour."
"Well, I can't help it!" Wander said, getting all jittery as always. "We just saved the galaxy, Sylvia! I mean sure, there have been other heroes in the past that saved the galaxy as well, but think about it! We ARE the heroes!"
"I thought we were already "The Heroes?"" Sylvia said, opening her eyes for this instance. She accentuated that fact by doing air quotes.
"Yeah, but now it's official! Everyone knows us as the duo who saved the whole galaxy and made peace with Lord Dominator!" Wander declared, shooting his fist up in the air.
"Well, technically she got out of your hug and stole your gift basket." Sylvia yawned out. Looking for something new to focus her attention on, she spotted an unusual ship in space passing by the planet they were currently on.
"She didn't steal it! She just took it off my hands without me knowing she was gonna grab it." Wander said as his retort, standing up on his trusty steed.
"That's pretty much stealing, bud." Sylvia said while keeping a watch on that particular spacecraft.
"Oh hush Sylvia, I know a friendly face when I-." Wander stopped his sentence, catching that Sylvia's eyes were on something else. He followed her literal line of sight, a comical row of black lines leading towards the space vessel. "-see it."
His eyes widened and his mouth curved into an open smile. "*GASP!* A FRIENDLY FACE!" Wander proudly shouted, jumping up as he said that, which suspended him in midair until he finished his outburst. His legs and feet turned into a blurry wheel, racing towards the flying rocket ship. But Sylvia managed to grab him before he could race off.
"Oh, no no no no!" Sylvia said as her pal continued to paddle his legs in the air as if he was still running. "Wander, we just got here. And I'm planning to use this time to plant my caboose down and recharge myself for my usual two hour nap. I'm not gonna have you ruin it by saying hello to a stranger on a ship."
Wander turned around towards Sylvia, taking a deep breath, which Sylvia immediately recognized. "Oh, don't you dare-."
"Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please *Gasp* please please please please please please please please please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-"
"OKAY!" Sylvia shouted, dropping wander to cover her ears. "But we are coming right back here after this, got it?
"Thank you, my humble steed." Wander said in a formal reply. He got onto his companion's back, taking the reins with a smile plastered on his face. He took out his bubble container, wrapping the air filled liquid to act as their air pocket. "Onward to new friends!" The duo began to leave the atmosphere, but not before hearing a booming voice coming from behind them.
"W-wait, you're leaving already?" The voice came from the little planet behind them.
Janet the little planet was a talking planet that Wander met on his many adventure. Since then, Janet took a great liking to wander, almost to an excessive amount. She was jealous of the bond that Sylvia had with the happy orange fur ball, and pretty much tried to separate her from Wander indefinitely. But recently, she grew to accept that those two were inseparable, and learned that there was room in her friend circle for the both of them.
Though before they first left, she was greeted by a new face… or moon rather. This french accented moon kept her company after Wander and Sylvia left. Though unfortunately, he didn't seem to be around now. And the reason for it would require us to go back to a tragic event.
The galaxy was in turmoil, as the evil presence of Lord Dominator loomed over all the creatures. The familiar red and blue hue of the massive battleship hovered over planet after planet, leaving behind rubble of the drain rocks. The ship soon approached Planet Janet, it's massive drill ready to fire.
[Target Locked: Planet Janet - Molten Planet Core Temperature: Low - Permission to Drain: Awaiting Lord Dominator.] One of the dominator bots beeped out.
Lord Dominator rolled her eyes and scoffed softly. "Ugh, you know what, this one isn't even worth draining. Just, y'know, blow it up, Bot 9."
[Permission to Drain: Denied - Permission to Destroy: Acknowledged - Laser Cannons: Activating] Bot 9 responded. The ship retracted its molten drill and activated its laser cannon, aiming directly at the living planet.
Noticing she was in danger, she started to panic and cry, not at all prepared for any kind of danger. Luckily, her new moon companion was right by her side.
"Ma douce, do not be alarmed. I will do anything for you, ma Cherry. Even if it will be my last." The moon said sweetly in his French accent. He moved himself in front of Janet, blocking her view of the intruding ship.
"W-wait, what are you doing?" Janet pleaded to know why he was in her way.
"Janet, please be silent until the ship passes. I will protect you until then."The moon replied back, not showing any doubt in his voice. "Promets-moi que tu t'occuperas d'eux."
"No, please!" Janet cried out.
[Laser Cannons: Operational - Target Locked: Fire] The bot said. The cannons fired it's energy at the target.
"Je t'aime, ma belle étoile." The moon spoke his last words before exploding into several pieces, covering the planet with his moon dust. Janet forced herself not to cry, knowing this is what he'd want, the moon dust providing excellent cover for the now lonely planet. She waited for the ship to make another move.
[Target Destroyed, Lord Dominator.] Bot 9 beeped out.
"Yeah, Yeah, let's move onto the next planet already. Get a move on!" Dominator yelled, already wanting some more destruction. After that, the ship sped off, searching for more planets to destroy, leaving Janet safe, hidden, and alone again.
"Aww, Janet." Wander felt a rush of sympathy towards the living planet. He didn't want to make her think they were abandoning her again. But he also knew that he couldn't stay there forever.
"Don't worry, Janet. Wander and I will be right back here before you know it. We promise." Sylvia said, restoring some faith into the space rock. With a confident smile, she looked back at her rider. "Right Wander?"
Wander slowly started to perk up, his iconic smile returning to punctuate his face. "Right! Don't worry, Janet! We'll be gone for only a minute. See you then!"
Sylvia smirked, getting ready to start running after that strange spaceship. "Let's go meet your new friend, buddy." And with that, the purple steed bolted into the black wonders of the spacious unknown.
If Janet had a hand, she would have been waving it. She dropped her invisible hand, slowly realizing she was alone once again. She just got used to her friends's company only to see them leave once again. She would just have to tough it out, though she didn't know how she would without anyone around.
As if on coincidence, she heard a few sounds; young sounding. She couldn't see anyone around her atmosphere that looked like a living being. All that was around her were rocks from her previous companion. But as she took a closer look, she realized that those little pieces of moon were getting closer. The little moons, upon closer inspection, had an indent in the moon rock in the shape of a pacifier. Little sounds were coming from each of them, indicating that they were just born. The several pieces of moon started orbiting the lonely planet, the only motherly figure that they could find.
"Don't worry, little stars. I'll take care of you. I made a promise, y'know?" Janet said. The environment on her began spitting rain, emphasizing her tears of joy at this miracle. If she had a face, she would be smiling right now.
Perhaps Wander and Sylvia could take a little longer to return.
(Oh boy, this took looong! But I was just coming up with new stories that I didn't want to forget. Hopefully these long uploads don't become a trend or something. :\
(Btw, if anyone knows how to add characters into the , it would be very appreciated if you could help with that. I want Little Bits to be a character choice so badly! Anyway, see you next time!)
