A/N: Back again! I've still been busy, mostly working on my final script for Screenwriting and watching films for a research project in my Digital Editing class, but I've been slowly working on this a little at a time! And thanks to an online friend, I will be working on something Space Dandy related once I've finished my finals. I'll post a link on my profile page for those interested.
Also, I can't remember if I've done this yet, but thank you guys for reading. Without you guys reading, I wouldn't have continued this. After all, what's the point of telling a story if no one reads it?
The universe is filled with billions of extraterrestrial beings, many of them new and undiscovered! But one man named Dandy plans on finding and registering them all! He travels the universe with his crew and amazing pompadour in search of adventure, excitement, and boobies! These are the adventures of the dandiest guy in space, Space Dandy!
"It's good to have the ol' Aloha Oe back to her old self!" Dandy exclaimed as he looked around at the interior of his ship.
The ship was in astounding condition, even when compared to its appearance in Chapter One. The furniture was all brand new, all the appliances and electronics were in top-shape, and the exterior was sleek and looked as if it had received a fresh paintjob and waxing. The console even had protective plastic over the computer monitors!
"Yeah, we were extremely lucky that our insurance company covers damage from giant, destructive bounty hunters," QT remarked.
"I can't wait to take her out for a spin!" Dandy went into the cockpit and rubbed his hand over one of the handlebars.
"You're in luck," Meow said. "I just got a text from Honey. They're coming back from their vacation and she wants to know where we're going to meet her and pick Carrie up."
"Tell her we'll just meet her at the hub," Dandy replied as he peeled some of the plastic off. "Then we can grab a bite to eat."
"Sounds like a good plan," QT said as Dandy plopped down at the ship's freshly-unpacked and installed controls.
"Hey can we stop at that new ramen place?" Meow asked, his eyes glued to his phone. "I hear they have killer Silgrian-broth ramen."
"Sounds good to me. Now let's get the hell out of here!"
Dandy gripped the handlebars of his ship tightly while its engines roared. The yellow ship slowly backed out of the hangar it was docked in and took off into deep space at a high speed. The ship finally came to a stop in front of the same ring-like space station they were at last chapter, Hub 893.
The three of them walked into the central boarding and disembarking dock where the luxury starship from last chapter was just finishing its docking sequence. A crowd of people swarmed out of it, but Dandy immediately noticed Carrie's tail poking up out of the crowd.
"There she is," Dandy said as he pointed to Carrie's tail. "Hey, Carrie!"
Carrie weaseled her way through the crowd and ran towards her friends, grabbing Meow first.
"Yay, it's talking weasel thing!" Carrie exclaimed as she squeezed poor Meow as hard as she could.
"Crushing… ribs…" Meow gasped.
"Carrie stop you're killing him!" Carrie quickly released Meow, who collapsed to the floor.
"Oh, hi funny-hair!" Carrie greeted the alien hunter. "Did you want a hug, too?"
"Uh… no thanks. Say, where's Honey?"
"Who?"
"You know, the blonde hottie who went with you on the trip?"
"Oh yeah! She's right behind me!" Carrie turned around, but only saw a crowd of strange aliens rushing to board their ships.
"She must be getting her bags," QT said. Carrie looked down at QT.
"Talking vacuum cleaner!" Carrie squealed. She reached down to hug QT, but the little yellow robot pushed her back.
"Ah, don't hug me!"
"But I missed you!" QT rolled away to avoid being crushed by Carrie's deadly hug, but the Sepian ran after her, laughing childishly.
"Well, did we want to wait for Honey to get off?" Meow asked as he stood to his feet and cracked his back.
"Nah, we'll see her at work tomorrow. She's probably tired from her trip."
"Too bad Carrie isn't…" Meow muttered as Carrie continued to chase QT around.
"Well, let's round them up and head out." Dandy's stomach let out a loud grumble. "I'm starving."
Soon, the Aloha Oe was docked in front of a small restaurant floating in space called Cosmic Ramen, the name up in big, blue neon holographic letters. It wasn't just a little ramen stand, but a sizable restaurant with booths as well as a bar with stools surrounding it.
The interior wasn't very crowded. A Lizardon man sat at a booth in the corner, slurping up noodles with his forked, reptilian tongue; a Piscii fellow sat at the table, using the arms of his mechanical suit to drop noodles into a fishbowl-like attachment resting on the suit's shoulders with a small, spiky fish swimming around in it; and at the end of the bar, a Tarbean was eating his noodles. His hinged mandibles pulled the ramen noodles into his fanged mouth.
Dandy and his crew walked into the restaurant and looked around. For being a newly opened restaurant, it wasn't very clean, and likely a restaurant ship someone had bought used and fixed up. The crew was greeted by the shop-owner, a Corbanite wearing a nametag reading "Jebb." Like all Corbanites, he wore a round, metal suit that hid everything but his eyes, which peered out at Dandy and his crew from a crescent-shaped hole near the top of his suit. He was short in stature, with long, lanky arms and legs.
"Welcome to Cosmic Ramen!" Jebb greeted them. "What would you like?"
"I'll have the Galurkian eyeball ramen with Silgrian broth," Meow answered.
"Same for me," Dandy added.
"I'd like a quart of oil, if you serve robots, that is."
"Sure thing!" Jebb replied.
"I want everything in mine!" Carrie beamed.
"Certainly, ma'am! Take a seat and I'll have it out in a minute!" Jebb went into the kitchen to prepare their ramen as Dandy and his crew sat at a booth. The Tarbean looked back at them and snarled.
"Hey, I'm going to look around," Carrie said.
"Alright, just stay close and don't cause any trouble," Dandy told her.
"Okey-dokey!" And with that, Carrie walked away. The Tarbean shoved his ramen away and seemed to follow the Sepian as she wandered around the restaurant.
"It's a little unusual for a Corbanite to be running a restaurant," QT remarked.
"Yeah, don't those guys usually work as mechanics at spaceports?"
"That's the only place I've ever seen them," Meow added, typing on his phone. "Man, the WiFi here sucks…"
"Goddamn you!" A voice screamed, followed by the sound of breaking glass.
Dandy, QT, and Meow immediately turned their attention to the other side of the restaurant. Lying in a pile of broken tables and booths was the Tarbean, his left mandible twisted to the side as if it were broken. Standing over him was Carrie, who was snarling and growling at him, her tail coiled around her legs with the hair on it standing up.
"Just great," Dandy muttered.
"Just as monstrous as your kinsmen were," the Tarbean mumbled as blood trickled from his mouth. Carrie hissed at him like an angry snake, flashing her huge rear canine teeth at him. Jebb ran out of the kitchen, hearing the commotion.
"Hey, no fighting! If you're gonna fight, please take it outside."
Carrie turned her attention to the short, Corbanite man. Still boiling with rage, she smacked him back with her tail, putting a sizeable dent in his armor and sending him flying.
Seeing an opening, the Tarbean lunged at Carrie, holding a serrated knife in his right hand. Carrie noticed him almost a second too late, and managed to avoid his attack, but received a cut on the side of her face. She used her tail to grab his right arm and squeezed his wrist, then grabbed his head with her hands and picked him up off the ground.
"Carrie cut it out! You're gonna get us kicked out!" Dandy shouted.
"He called me a monster!" Carrie screamed.
"That's because you are one! All of your kind are!" The Tarbean shouted back. "Your kind killed my family five hundred years ago and I'll never forgive you for it!"
Tears streamed down Carrie's face as she gritted her teeth. She slowly began to squeeze the Tarbean's skull.
"What's the problem? I've called you a monster lots of times, and it's just now bothering you?"
Carrie threw the Tarbean down, still growling at him. She slunk over to Dandy. Jebb crawled out of the kitchen, horribly injured, but still alive.
"You all… are… banned!" He wheezed before collapsing.
Dandy and his crew returned to the ship. Carrie was first on board, but she was still quite upset. She flipped one of the end tables and threw herself on the couch.
"What's up with everybody getting all emotional?" Meow asked.
"I think the author's doing something called character development…" QT answered.
"Yeah well he needs to cut it out. He's messing with my good vibes!" Dandy leaned over the back at the couch, but Carrie shoved her face in a cushion. "Hey, you know what I do when I get upset? I go cruisin', baby! Just me, outer space, and those two freeloaders behind me!"
"Hey, just who are you calling freeloaders!?" Meow and QT shouted.
Dandy stared at Carrie, but she never even moved. "Hmm…"
Dandy reached down poked Carrie in the side. She shoved her face deeper into the pillow, but he got her to snicker a bit. Dandy then began tickling her, causing her to squirm wildly.
"Haha, stop! I'm supposed to be mad!" Carrie laughed.
"There, that's our favorite little monster!" Carrie sat up and smiled. "Now, how about that cruise?"
"Yeah, let's go!"
Dandy and Carrie ran towards the ship's cockpit, QT and Meow glaring after them.
"Freeloaders!?" Meow growled.
"After sticking with him for two seasons and eight fanfic chapters!?" QT added.
Not long after the inciting incident, the Aloha Oe was soaring through an unknown part of space. Dandy sat at the ship's controls, looking quite annoyed while Carrie was pointing at stuff.
"Hey, what does this do?" Carrie asked, pointing at a keypad.
"That's for typing in coordinates," Dandy answered.
"What about this?" Carrie turned a knob on the console, causing music to blare out of the speakers.
"That's the radio…"
"And what about this?" Carrie pointed at the same keypad from a few seconds ago.
"I just told you, that's for typing in coordinates!" Dandy rubbed his temples. "I should've just let you do your 'character development' on the couch for the rest of the chapter… Hey, don't touch that!"
"What's that?" Carrie asked, pointing at an object outside the windshield.
"It's probably just a speck of dust," Dandy answered. He examined the speck, but noticed it seemed to be growing bigger. "Hey, QT. Come look at this."
"If I wasn't mad at you, I'd tell you that was some kind of space station, not a speck of dust!" QT shouted.
"Dammit QT!" Meow yelled.
"A space station, huh? How about we check it out?"
Dandy flew the Aloha Oe to this massive metal structure that seemed to be in the shape of a black castle. He docked his ship inside of a large opening at the front.
"Hey, you guys wanna get out and explore this place with me?" Dandy asked QT and Meow, who were lying in the floor playing a board game.
"No thanks," QT replied.
"We'll just sit here and freeload until you two get back," Meow added.
"Fine, who needs ya! Me and Carrie will go!"
Dandy and Carrie left the ship, leaving QT and Meow to play their board game.
"You think we should go after them?" QT asked Meow, who was rolling a pair of dice.
"Nah, they'll be fine." Meow reassured the little robot.
Dandy and Carrie exited the ship and walked through a pair of giant metal doors. They looked around at the stone grey interior. The whole space station looked like a medieval castle, and the walls and floors looked ancient and worn down. The Sepian and alien hunter wandered through a dark hallway that led them to a humongous room.
At the center was a huge scale replica of the entire universe floating in front of a computer panel made completely out of stone. The pieces of the replica shone like the stars and galaxies the full-sized universe was made of.
"Ooh, so pretty," Carrie whispered.
"What is this?" Dandy asked as he approached the computer console.
Dandy wiped the dust off the console. The console had several large buttons made of stone, each one with an alien symbol etched into it. Carrie walked up behind the alien hunter.
"Hey, what does this thingy do?" She asked.
"Beats me," Dandy replied.
"Let's find out!"
Carrie slapped the console, hitting multiple buttons, causing the replica universe to change shape. Dandy tried to stop her, but he only made things worse by bumping several keys himself. Suddenly, while Dandy was trying to get Carrie's hands off the console, the replica universe stopped glowing, and it turned into billions of tiny, silver balls that fell to the floor. Dandy and Carrie stared at the mess as a sea of metal balls engulfed their ankles.
"I think we broke it…" Carrie muttered.
"No shit," Dandy quipped. "I think we better leave."
"What's going on in here?" A voice echoed throughout the room.
Dandy and Carrie turned to see a tiny, pale green alien standing at the entrance. He had stubby arms and was hunched over an old wooden cane. His head had a sparse amount of long, grey hairs that stuck up on the sides. He hobbled towards the alien hunter and the Sepian as they stared at him in bewilderment.
"Do you have any idea what you've done?"
"Sorry about your model. We were just –"
"Sorry? Sorry!? That was no mere model! Every piece…" The green alien picked up one of the tiny metal balls. "…represents an actual galaxy; an actual piece of the universe! You and your friend just destroyed the whole universe!"
"Yeah right," Dandy replied. "Why the hell would you have something like that?"
"Because, I am the one who keeps the universe in balance!" The green alien shouted back. "I was commissioned billions of years ago by some booming voice to help construct the universe, and I did it using these special orbs!"
"Way to ruin everything," Dandy muttered to Carrie, who folded her hands under her breasts and pouted. "Look, what if we helped you put this thing back together? Would that get you off our backs?"
"Ha! You help me!? After you and your friend come waltzing in my castle and destroy my life's work? No sir! You and your…" The alien catches a glimpse of Carrie's boobs. He stares at them for a moment, then continues his sentence, blood trickling from his nose. "What was I saying? Oh yes. You and your lovely lady friend will put it back together piece-by-piece by yourselves!"
"And what if we refuse?"
"I'm afraid you don't have much of a choice, at least not if you want to leave this place. Everything outside of this castle no longer exists thanks to you. Then again, I could use someone to help me with my sponge bath…"
"Eww! Okay, okay! We'll put it back together!" Dandy shouted.
The elderly alien stared at Carrie's chest for another few seconds. "Oh, um, very good. You two get started. I need to go to the bathroom…" The alien guy hobbled away.
"Well, I guess we better get started," Dandy said as he looked at the sea of tiny metal orbs piled in front of him. "How the hell do we do this?"
Dandy turned to Carrie, who just shrugged in response. The alien hunter picked up one of the little orbs and examined it. It was a little rusty and had an odd symbol on the side. Dandy rubbed the symbol with his finger and the orb suddenly began to glow. In a flash of light, it turned into a tiny star in the palm of his hand, several tiny planets orbiting it.
"So that's how that works…"
Dandy turned his attention to the console at the center of the room. He waded over to it and looked at the stone buttons, immediately noticing that one of the buttons had a symbol carved on it matching the orb that he was holding. He pressed this button and the orb floated into the air.
"Ah, now I get it!"
Dandy surveyed the billions upon billions of tiny metal orbs scattered across the floor. Carrie was playing in a big pile of them, rolling around as if she were playing in the snow.
"This is going to take a while…" Dandy thought.
Hours later, Dandy had made quite a bit of progress. The room was still up to his ankles in metal orbs, but he had quite a chunk of the universe pieced back together. Carrie was lying down beside him, gazing up at the little orbs as they slowly rotated around a yet-to-be-formed center.
"I'm bored," Carrie complained.
"Why don't you get un-bored and give me a hand," Dandy replied.
Carrie stood to her feet and stretched. She then caught a glimpse of one of the orbs. It was a bright, reddish-orange star. Carrie stared at it for a few moments, until she felt a sharp blow on the top of her head.
"Don't even think about it!" Dandy warned her. "If you're not gonna help, you can at least look for any of these that might've rolled under something."
Carrie rubbed her head and walked out of Dandy's line of sight, still eyeballing that bright star. She waited until Dandy became absorbed in his work, then she went for it. Before Dandy knew what had happened Carrie ran up to the universe model and snatched the star.
"What the hell!?"
Carrie ran towards the door, laughing maniacally with the red star gripped firmly in her hands. Dandy ran after the mischievous Sepian. He pulled a candelabra hanging off the wall and brandished it like a club. Before Carrie could reach the door, she slipped on some of the orbs and fell forward, her boobs breaking her fall.
"Ow…" Carrie moaned.
Dandy pried the star from her fingers. "Serves you right!" The alien hunter put the star back where it belonged, leaving Carrie lying on the ground.
Sometime later, Carrie had recovered from her fall and had decided to try her luck again. Poor Dandy was still working all by himself. He was sitting down now, and his eyes were bloodshot. The candelabra was stuffed in the back of his pants.
Carrie locked on to the bright red star once again. She buried herself in the little orbs and tunneled her way towards the model. She easily made it past Dandy, who was too tired to notice Carrie tunneling towards his hard work. Carrie popped up out of the orbs right underneath the swirling, partially constructed universe. She grabbed her target quietly, but then another pretty light caught her eye. It was a bluish-white nebula floating not too far from where her red star was. She nabbed it and put it in her hand next to the red star. But before she could make her escape, another formation captured her attention. Soon, she was grabbing stars and other miniature heavenly bodies. As she was distracted, Dandy overheard her giggling and turned around.
"Not again," Dandy groaned. "Hey, put those back!"
Carrie immediately knew she was in trouble. She bolted and ran towards the door yelling, "Scoops! Scoops!"
Dandy once again brandished his candelabra and ran after her. Carrie actually managed to make it out of the room, but the hallway led to a dead end.
"Give them here!" Dandy ordered. Carrie picked up the red star and held it over her mouth. "Don't eat that star!"
"Imma eat this star!"
"Do not eat that star!"
"Imma eat this star!"
"No!" Dandy screamed as he bashed Carrie over the head with the candelabra. Carrie dropped all the stars and such she had stolen on the ground before she collapsed in a heap on the floor. Dandy gathered them up and took them back to the room.
As Dandy walked back to the room, he ran across the short alien, who was now dressed in pajamas and wearing a night cap.
"What's all the ruckus?" He asked Dandy. The alien looked behind Dandy where Carrie was sprawled out on the ground. "Was I interrupting anything?"
"What!? No, I was just retrieving more of these orbs."
"Ah. Darn… You look mighty tired, son. Why don't you rest for a while? I was just about to cook some dinner. Oh, and bring your lovely lady friend." The elderly alien scuttled away.
Soon, Dandy and Carrie were sitting at a large, stone table with food spread across it. Carrie had a large bump on her head from her encounter with Dandy and the green alien sat at the very end of the table, ogling Carrie's chest.
"So what's your name, old man?" Dandy asked, biting into a chicken leg.
"I'm Gomak. The finest interstellar architect in this dimension. I design star systems and the like. Every star that has ever burned and ever will burned has and will be designed by me!" Gomek grabbed a roll and shoved it in his mouth.
"So, I take it you're a rare alien, eh?" Dandy asked, eyeing Gomak.
"I wouldn't say rare, but as far as I know, I'm the only Archian in your dimension."
"Ah. How about you and me blow this joint?"
"Where would we go?" Gomak asked. "My place is the only thing left in this dimension after you destroyed everything." Gomak leaned in towards Carrie, who was stuffing her face. "But maybe after you finish reconstructing the universe, and your lovely lady friend does something for me in return, we can go wherever you like…"
"Uh, sure! But first, can you tell me how to work that console?"
"I would, but I can't remember how to use it myself," Gomak replied.
"What? But I thought you just said you were still creating stars with it!"
"Did I say that? I meant I used to use it to make stars. Now they got some new-fangled whoozit that does that. I haven't touched that machine in almost eighteen billion years!"
Dandy slammed his head on the table. "So how long do you think it'll take me to put everything back together?"
"Oh, at your current rate, you'll be long dead before you even finish ten percent of it!"
"What!? Don't you think that was important information to tell me before I started!?"
"In case you haven't noticed, I'm old! I forget things! And besides, you shouldn't have come waltzing in and started touching things that don't belong to you!"
"Why you old bastard!" Dandy stood up and lifted Gomak by his cloak. "I outta deck you!"
"Bring it on, sonny!"
Gomak clubbed Dandy in the head with his cane, flattening the alien hunter's signature pompadour. Dandy released Gomak, and the little alien scurried across the table, Dandy following close behind. Meanwhile, Carrie watched, still stuffing her face with food.
Gomak lifted up a bowl of mashed potatoes and threw it at Dandy, hitting him in the face. Dandy pulled the bowl off his head, pulled a big handful of mashed potatoes off his face, and threw it back at Gomak, who was too busy laughing to dodge. Now completely pissed off, Gomak threw a whole chicken at Dandy, but the alien hunter ducked.
Carrie watched as the room became a massive food-war, Dandy and Gomak throwing food at each other. A stray ball of mashed potatoes hit Carrie in the face, but she wiped it off with her arm and continued eating, completely unfazed.
The two continued tossing food, silverware, and broken furniture at each other until the whole room was covered in food from their meal. The mess would have been worse had Carrie not been there, still eating away at whatever scrap of food she could get her hands on.
Dandy and Gomak crawled out from behind their barracades made from broken table pieces, both of them covered in food and carrying a white flag.
"Truce?" Dandy wheezed as he collapsed on the floor.
"Truce," Gomak answered as he did the same. "I'll help you put the universe back together, but in return, I want you to take me out of this castle. I've been here for far too long."
"You got yourself a deal, baby," Dandy replied, still gasping for breath.
"Does this mean dinner's over?" Carrie asked as she took a bite out of a whole turkey. Dandy and Gomak replied by throwing a handful of peas and mashed potatoes at her face.
Later, the three of them were back in the large room, still illuminated by the stars and galaxies Dandy had managed to piece together. The floor was still flooded by billions and billions of tiny metal orbs, each one representing a celestial body, such as a star or galaxy.
"I'll admit, you've completed quite a bit, young man," Gomak said, admiring Dandy's work. "But we still have quite a ways to go."
Gomak, Dandy, and Carrie waded through the pile of beads spread out across the floor to the control panel in the middle of the room.
"Let's see if messing about with this thing will jog my memory." Gomak pressed a few buttons on the console, which arranged the position of some of the galaxies, but nothing more.
"Maybe it needs a special code?" Dandy asked.
"What if we asked it nicely?" Carrie suggested.
"Don't be stupid!" Dandy smacked Carrie upside the head.
"That's right! There is a code!" Gomak exclaimed.
"Well, what is it?"
"I forgot it… Or did I?" Gomak asked coyly, winking at Dandy.
"I thought you said you were going to help me!"
"I will, but you have to do a favor for me first. Tell your sexy friend to take off her shirt and dress."
"What? That's it?" Dandy turned to Carrie, who was rubbing her hand in the pile of metal orbs.
"Well go on, ask her!" Gomak ordered as he nudged Dandy.
"Alright, stop pushing! Hey, Carrie."
"Yeah?" Carrie turned around, accidentally smacking Dandy to the ground with her tail.
"Could you do me a favor and take off your clothes for a minute?"
Carrie tilted her head to the side, puzzled by Dandy's question. "Why?"
"The old man wants you to."
"Okay, but I want that in exchange!" Carrie pointed to the red star floating above them.
"What? No way! I don't think the old man will let you-"
"Sure! Take it! It's yours!" Gomak interrupted.
"Yipee!" Carrie shouted as she grabbed the orb with her tail.
"And what about your end of the deal?" Dandy asked. Carrie simply replied by throwing her shirt and sundress in his face.
"Oh yeah, baby!" Gomak exclaimed, blood squirting from his nose. Meanwhile, Carrie danced around in her underwear, waving the red star around in the air.
"Damn, I never realized that Carrie's hair hid such a nice ass," Dandy thought to himself as he watched Carrie twirl around with her new trinket.
"Alright boy, that's enough lewdness for one day!" Gomak wiped his nose on his sleeve and chuckled. "Time for me to hold up my end of the deal!"
Gomak hobbled towards the control panel. He slammed his cane on the floor, causing a purple shockwave to surge through the room, throwing all the tiny orbs to the far corners of the room and leaving his cane standing up by itself. Gomak climbed his cane, giving him easy access to the control panel. He turned his head to look back at Dandy, but he caught another glimpse of Carrie's boobs, which caused his nose to gush blood.
"Get me a handkerchief, boy!" Gomak yelled, nearly falling off his cane.
Dandy pulled a handkerchief out of his back pocket. To ensure Gomak wouldn't be distracted anymore, Dandy forced Carrie to turn around, her long, messy blonde hair blocking Gomak's view of her partially naked body. The alien hunter then waded through the orbs and handed Gomak the handkerchief, allowing him to wipe his nose.
Gomak then proceeded to press the buttons on the console in a specific sequence. All of the tiny orbs in the room glowed and transformed into tiny little stars, galaxies, and nebulae. They swirled together, reforming the brilliant miniature universe.
"Wow," Dandy said in awe.
"So pretty," Carrie mumbled.
"Yup, that'll do her!" Gomak jumped off his cane and pulled it out of the ground. "Your ship should still be outside and everything should be in order!"
"What about that star you gave Carrie?" Dandy asked. "Aren't you gonna replace that or something?"
"Nah, I'm sure it wasn't important. Now, let's talk about our traveling plans!"
Gomak dragged Dandy out of the room, leaving Carrie who was still staring at the little red star she was given. Carrie's mouth then started to water as she thought about what a star would taste like…
"Carrie, we're leaving!" Dandy called out. Carrie shoved the little orb in her cleavage and ran after him.
Meanwhile, orbiting the red star was Dr. Gel's spaceship. While Dandy was fooling around with trying to put the universe back together, he had been busy searching for Dandy. He sat in his big chair, gazing out at the stars, until suddenly, the stars all disappeared, save for the red star he was close to.
"Bea, what's going on? What happened to space?"
"I'm not sure, sir, but it would appear as though this star has suddenly been cut off from the rest of outer space."
"What do you mean? How is that possible!?"
"I'm not sure sir."
Meanwhile, as Carrie tagged along behind Dandy and Gomak, she thought once again about how the little orb would taste. Since stars are hot, would it be spicy? Would it taste like steak, her favorite food!? She just had to find out, so she dug the little red star out of her cleavage and dropped it in her mouth. As it fell, she thought she heard the tiny screams of Dr. Gel and Bea as the star fell down her throat, but she figured it was just her imagination and continued onward behind Dandy and Gomak.
Back inside the Aloha Oe, QT and Meow were still playing their board game as if nothing had happened. Dandy, Carrie, and Gomak walked in.
"That was a quick trip," QT said.
"Whoa, why is Carrie partially naked?" Meow asked, his nose bleeding a bit.
"It's a long story," Dandy replied. "Also, this is Gomak."
"What a nice ship," Gomak said. "Best one I've ever seen."
"Thanks!"
"It's the only ship I've ever seen, but still."
"You guys missed a hell of an adventure," Dandy said. "This guy has this thing that puts together the whole universe, and we broke it and had to put it back together."
"I'm not buying it," Meow said.
"It's true! Carrie, show them that star thing!"
Carrie opened her mouth in shock. "Uh, I kinda sorta eated it…"
"So much for your proof," QT remarked.
"Well, stop standing around and let's get out of here!" Gomak shouted.
The Aloha Oe pulled out of the floating space castle and flew off into space. Gomak didn't last long aboard Dandy's ship and was dropped off at the nearest asteroid. Carrie caught a cold from running around in her underwear for too long. Meow and QT forgot about their grudge against Dandy, as per usual. Dr. Gel and Bea were digested. And without Gomak to look after the universe, the fabric of time and space, about a year after he was left stranded on that asteroid, the universe once again fell to pieces, destroying everything in this dimension.
