"Sylvia! Sylvia!"
The iconic duo had just finished their lunch, a nice sandwich handmade with each of it's continents made by the wonders of nature. Wholly vegetarian much to Syl's chagrin but somehow Wander was able to make it taste better than any meal with meat in it.
The zorbnak looked kind of pale after that. She was pale ever since he woke up.
Wait, no. She has been pale and looking sickly droopy all week. It made the orange tumbleweed quite worried for his companion. Usually Sylvia had a lot of fight in her. Fire-y attitude and determination that Wander admired in a person.
Saying something between the lines of 'Going to do something.' Naturally, he let her go by herself. Besides, Syl could defeat anyone.
But it's getting dark soon and he was worried. Not for his own safety but for Syl's. What was she doing? Where is she? What could have delayed her return?
So with each time he uttered the name "Sylvia!" his voice got louder. Wander's throat felt scratchy and the word soon has no meaning.
"Sylvia!"
A loud snore came from a near distance interrupting his search. Bouncing off the trees and structures nearby. Mostly trees because this planet had a lot less villagers compared to others.
He looked to find his companion huddled up in bundles of bedsheets sleeping soundly. She looked content to have her nap there. An obvious smile on her facial features as she slept.
Wander looked at her for a couple seconds before realization hit him.
Oh.
Oh.
It was hibernation season! How could he forget such a thing? Zorbnaks had the slight tendency to Wander off to find a proper place to sleep! According to that book he once read.
Rummaging through his hat for anything to make Sylvia comfortable in her hibernation. Pillows, more softer blankets and that thing that produces gas that makes you sleep better.
Laying beside her and tucking himself into his hat like a sleeping blanket, he lets himself drift off.
And at a later time, Sylvia would wake up with her best bud next to her. Surprised and confused before smiling and whisper small words of gratitude.
I quite like stories like these. Soft, simple and fluffy ones that usually make my day.
Nice innit? Ah well, feel free to check on EternalEchoes (no spaces whatsoever) for her own Wander Over Yonder season 3 story where our duo tries and succeeds in befriending Lord Dominator.
By the way, a one shot book this is. Might update it from time to time but my motivation is as real as my self esteem.
I'm a shy person so try to be sensitive with your words.
All chapters would be short but filled to the brim with wholesomeness. Have fun :p
