Wander over Yonder Season 3-4

At first glance, the planet Dominator, Sylvia, and Wander were currently on seemed to be devoid of anything. Most space travelers would have dismissed the planet as just a massive ball of dirt with nothing to offer.

"This planet looks like just a massive ball of dirt with nothing to offer" Dominator, dressed in hiking gear and garb provided by Wander, condemned very shortly after setting off from the ruins of her ship.

"You'll never truly know until you try" Wander responds seated on Sylvia's back who was leading the way.

"Try what?" Dominator asks. "I'm looking and seeing nothing."

"Never judge a book by its cover" Sylvia contributes.

"You two are awfully positive all the time" Dominator said trying to mask her distaste.

"You're a ray of sunshine yourself" Sylvia says similarly displeased.

"All's I'm saying is the planet is looking real empty everywhere I'm looking" Dominator says looking around her.

"And I think this planet will have plenty of surprises in store for us" Wander speculates. "All we gotta do is stay positive and go out there and get them!"

"Let's hope so" Dominator responds while some distance away, Probe Dombots were busy scanning their surroundings.

THE NATURE OUTING

"So far, nothin'" Dominator criticizes after several minutes of walking.

"Patience Dominator" Wander requested. "If you pay close attention, what seemed to be a barren and desolate wasteland might actually surprise and impress you!"

Dominator focused on her surrounding environment only to still find the surface of a dead and empty planet.

"Ha! Still not seeing a thing" Dominator ridicules. "I'd think twice before trying to dominate such a boring ball of dirt."

Sylvia grumbled at Dominator's bluntness as Wander climbed down from her back.

"What do you say we try a different approach?" Wander suggests. "Let's put an ear to the planet herself and have a listen" Wander instructed before demonstrating.

Dominator looked at Sylvia almost in disbelief.

"Ask him yourself. I don't always agree with him but sometimes he completely surprises me" Sylvia directs at Dominator before joining her friend in placing an ear to the ground.

"Stupid hippy nonsense" Dominator condemns before she too put her ear to the ground to satisfy a nagging curiosity.

Wander smiles at the other two happy to see them joining in.

"...I feel so stupid right now" Dominator said after hearing nothing.

"...I can hear it..." Wander whispered softly. "...This planet lives... This way!" he lets out before rushing off.

"...He's YOUR friend. Not mine" Dominator tells Sylvia.

"You're taking this awfully well, I have to say" Sylvia responds.

"He's a heck of a cook" Dominator excuses.

"Thank you! That's a very nice thing to say!" Wander thanks.

"I-I mean you're okay at best!" Dominator retaliates.

Wander lead the way now stepping on the planet's barren surface as though he were walking on thin ice.

"We're really sorry, we're heading to a safe spot. Didn't mean to disturb you" Wander directs at the dirt.

"Okay, have you officially lost it?" Dominator demands impatiently.

"Not at all" Wander answers happily.

"Is he nuts?" Dominator asks Sylvia.

"...I'm starting to worry. What's going on buddy?" Sylvia asks her orange friend.

"Sylvia, this planet isn't barren. She's just shy" Wander says. "Don't you remember Janet?"

"Janet?" Sylvia responds. "Oh... Janet... How could I forget?" she goes on less upbeat than her orange friend.

"How can a planet be shy!?" Dominator demands.

"You'll find out soon enough" Wander answers. "For now, we should make for the top of that mountain."

"...Oh no" Dominator mutters catching sight of a great and tall mountain, the top of which disappeared into the cosmos. "Nope! Going back, I am NOT going to climb such a crazy-looking mountain" Dominator objects. "What for!? So more of our time and energy is wasted!?"

"We won't be climbing it" Wander explains reaching into his hat and pulling out Orbble juice. "We're floating up there!"

With a swing of his bubble wand, Wander encloses himself and Sylvia inside a bubble.

"C'mon!" Wander orders grabbing Dominator by the arm and pulling her in.

"Up we go!" Sylvia announces before breaking into a run and sending the bubble flying up the side of the mountain. "Let's see ya keep up!" the Zbornak then challenges.

"Are you challenging me?.. Then challenge accepted" Dominator accepts running beside Sylvia to send the bubble soaring up the mountain even faster.

"Whoa! We're really flying!" Wander shouts. "Go girls! Go!" he cheers as Dominator and Sylvia ran and it wasn't long before the top of the mountain came into view. "And here we are!" Wander announces once the bubble reaches the top. The bubble then pops and all three are dropped off.

"Alright, we're here" Dominator acknowledges, "and this place is as barren as it was down below."

Wander did not immediately respond but instead had his ear down on the ground listening to the planet once more.

"Atta girl" Wander whispers caressing the ground beneath them. "She's almost ready! Now we just enjoy the view" he says having himself a seat on a beach chair with a great view of the empty landscape below.

"This has been a colossal waste of my time!" Dominator condemns. "There's nothing to see here!"

"Grapes Syl?" Wander offers Sylvia who was now sitting beside him on her own beach chair.

"Sure pal. Thanks!" Sylvia accepts. "So what are we in for?"

"Just wait and see. This will be great!" Wander says.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again. This planet is a giant ball of dirt!" Dominator chastises. "If you two idiots wanna stare at a dead, boring, stupid, barren planet, be my guest! As for me, I'm getting out of-!"

With an arm stretched far and long, Wander pulls Dominator close.

"Look!" Wander urges.

The large landscape before the three slowly but steadily turned from a dull reddish brown color to a livelier and vibrant green color as the ground beneath them sprouted blades of grass. Accompanying these blades of grass were a wide array of different flowers sprinkled throughout: from cosmos to wind flowers, lilies to roses. In some parts, forests seemed to sprout out of nowhere and rivers suddenly began to flow.

Standing in place taking all this in was Dominator who was astounded by the sudden sprouting of life.

"Step aside please" Wander says while gently nudging a stunned Dominator to the side.

"Wh-what? Gah!" Dominator lets out as a massive tree bursts out of the ground to nearly pierce the heavens above.

"Wander, this is amazing!" Sylvia says impressed by the planet's sudden transformation.

"I know right!?" Wander exclaims. "So what do you think, Dominator?"

"I-I-I" Dominator stammers, "I-I've never seen anything like it before!"

"Really makes you think doesn't it?" Sylvia directs at Dominator. "Imagine all the planets you've dominated before could have been hiding plenty of life beneath the surface."

"A-and I don't regret any of it one bit" Dominator claims stubbornly.

"Not surprised in the least" Sylvia says with arms crossed.

"Ladies, now's not the time to be arguing" Wander is quick to intercept. "Why argue when we could be wind surfing!?"

"Say what?" Dominator and Sylvia voice in unison.

With little delay, Wander climbs up the immense tree and digs through the tree's many blanket-sized leaves.

"Thank you very much!" Wander says before climbing back down with three leaves in tow. "This here is a wind tree" Wander says. "And these are wind leaves" he resumes while handing Dominator and Sylvia a leaf each.

"Wind tree? Wind leaf?" Sylvia questions. "What's that mean?"

"It means hold on tight!" Wander says raising his leaf and flapping it once.

Immediately, a mighty gust of wind sweeps all three off their feet; they are launched into the air and sent soaring across the sky.

"Yeeeehhaaaawwww!" Wander celebrates riding his leaf like a surfboard.

Dominator and Sylvia rode their respective leaf less gracefully.

"Aaaaaaaah!" the two were screaming holding onto their soaring leaves fearing a fall.

"Like this Syl! Dominator!" Wander instructs flying next to the other two.

Sylvia quickly scurries to mount her leaf like Wander while Dominator was still struggling.

"I'm gonna fall!" Dominator shouts near panic.

"You'll be okay. Watch!" Wander says before letting himself fall off his wind leaf but Dominator quickly grabs hold of his ankle halting his descent.

Both Wander and Dominator were very surprised by this move; saving someone's life was not something anyone expected to see out of Dominator but the surprise on Wander's face quickly gave way to a very broad smile. Wander then moved to join Dominator's side to grab hold of her wind leaf as well.

"Ya saved me!" Wander pointed out happily.

"It was a reflex!" Dominator defends but Wander's smile remained.

"Suuure it was!" Wander teases while Dominator grumbles. "So Dominator, do you trust me?"

"Wh-what!?"

"If you trust me, let go" Wander said placing a hand over hers.

Dominator didn't know how to explain it but despite being so high up in the sky and speeding through the air at dangerous speeds, she felt safe with Wander by her side. Steadily, her grip slackened and soon enough, the two were falling.

"We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" Dominator panicked holding Wander close.

"We're not dead. Relax" Wander assured, his Orbble juice ready just in case but Dominator had great doubts watching their wind leaves speeding away from them as the ground approached dangerously.

"We're dead you idiot!" Dominator screamed with vengeful anger.

It was at that moment that Dominator's wind leaf performed a u-turn and sped back towards her and Wander swooping underneath them to end their descent.

"Whoa!" Dominator lets out as she and Wander land atop the wind leaf. "I-it came back!"

"See?" Wander said, his wind leaf flying nearby just in case. "What'd I tell ya?"

"That was insane!" Dominator criticized grabbing Wander by his collar. "...A-and kind of exhilirating!.." she admitted. "Can we do it again?"

"You wanna?"

Dominator nods weakly half in disbelief she was agreeing to go through it again.

"Then let's go again!" Wander exclaims and soon, Wander and Dominator were throwing themselves off of their wind leaf to skydive before their leaves picked them up mid-air.

"Wow! What a rush!" Dominator exclaims.

"You two are nuts!" Sylvia approached atop her wind leaf.

"A little fun never hurt anyone" Wander responds.

"Loosen up and have fun, Zbornak!" Dominator calls out on her way up.

"You of all people are telling me to loosen up!?" Sylvia counters unsure if she was heard or not.

As Wander and Dominator skydived for fun, Sylvia descended for a landing.

"...Did I just see that right?" Sylvia then wondered now grounded.

Watching Dominator and Wander skydiving together, the two seemed very close. Sylvia rubs her eyes to make sure she was seeing things clearly and once Wander and Dominator had finally landed, Sylvia's suspicions were confirmed.

"Oh man! THAT was a rush!" Dominator acclaimed as she and Wander approached Sylvia. "How the heck do those leaves work? I must study them!"

"Well think of them like a boomerang. Boomerangs with feelings" Wander says sagely.

"Boomerangs with feelings!? What the heck does that even mean!?" Dominator thought half rolling her eyes.

"Had fun?"

"Yeah, that was fun" Dominator admits feeling herself in a sudden good mood.

"Well I'm real happy you had fun" Wander says. "How about you Sylvia? Had fun too I hope."

"...Yeah... But not as much as you two from the look of things" Sylvia answers before pointing at Wander and Dominator's hands which were joined firmly.

Dominator quickly let go.

"Th-that was just a safety measure! Skydiving is risky stuff!" Dominator explained swiftly. "Now don't be getting any funny ideas, Zbornak!"

"That's right Syl! Safety should always come first and it's not like I don't have my Orbble juice ready just in case" Wander adds. "So Dee, there's still more to do now that the planet is back to life. What do you say we continue exploring?"

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea" Dominator says.

"Great!" Wander says as the two walked on.

Watching how well the two seemed to be getting along, Sylvia didn't find it so crazy that Wander could win Dominator over. Perhaps all Dominator really needed was a little friendship after all.

"C'mon Syl!" Wander suddenly called out in the distance.

"Coming!" Sylvia said.

Not far away, some of Dominator's bots continued their work of assessing the planet's resources without delay.
