Pai woke up in his the tub two hours later. his head was spinning, and the cool tile of the tub felt good against his warm cheek. He tried to stand, but felt too ill. all in all, Pai was sick. 'Where are the morons with some herbs when you need them,' thought Pai, deciding he would kill his companions if it was the last thing he did.
he finally managed to stand, nearly slipping back down to his knees. Perhaps Deep blue had some sort of remedy. He painstakingly made his way down the hallway of the ship towards Deep Blue's chamber. He wasn't surprised when he began to hear his demonic overlord's voice. Deep blue often held conversations with himself. But as Pai grew closer, he began to make out words...
"those fools...I shall rule them all...Don't they see...I WAS THE ONE WHO DESTROYED CYNICLONIA!"(A/N, is that the right name?) Pai's blood ran cold. What had the Sadistic soul just said. No, it couldn't be. He wouldn't allow it! He was helping them. "Can't those weak servants of mine see? I am only doing this because I desire earth for myself!"said Deep Blue.
Pai couldn't stand it. shakily he stood and ran.

Lettuce was walking home from work. A storm was brewing on the horizon.People everywhere were closing shops and booths to go home and be with their loved ones. Normally, this sight would have broken Lettuce's heart, still raw with the pain of Ryou's love for Ichigo, But she was thinking of a certain purple-haired Alien.
She sincerely hoped she would see Pai again. He had been rather kind to her, and she pitied him, having to work with two younger and more hyper aliens.
suddenly something caught her eye. it was a person, standing across the street,looking confused and lost. pai? No, it couldn't be. but lettuce looked closer, and saw that the figure, wearing a rather odd grey hat, was indeed Pai. without hesitation, she ran across the street to greet him. "Pai?" said Lettuce upon arrival.Lettuce was shocked by Pai's appearance. he seemed to have aged since that morning,and his face was pale, except for his cheeks, which were bright red. Lettuce blinked."Lettuce," said Pai. "what are you doing here?" "I work near here," Lettuce explained, all the while monitering Pai's expression. "Oh. Of course," said Pai. "Is something wrong?" askedLettuce.She was truly concerned for him.
"Deep blue lied," said Pai. "what?" asked Lettuce,thinking she had misheard the alien. "Deep Blue destroyed our planet," said Pai emotionlessly.she gasped. Lettuce had not expected to hear that! "well, why don't you come to my house for a bit?" asked Lettuce. Pai allowed her to take his arm and lead him to her small home.
