Later that day Tip and Oh were outside talking, their discussion that morning had made her curios about what it was like on Boovworld. Usually Oh was so focused on the wonders he was discovering in his new home that the past hardy entered his convesations with her. "So, the Boov used to live in the seas there" said Tip utterly fascinated with what she was learning. He nodded, "Yes, but our industry our grew our wisdom eventually, and all Boovs were forced to try living on the land. It was hard for us at first, but soon we grew to love it. The Koobish were there, and also there were the daily rainbows that would beautify our skies after the rains would come." "So the reason you were excited about having Pig along for our road trip was because you were thinking they might be like Koobish" Tip asked, starting to put things together in her mind. "Yes, but I am glad that my earlier thought was wrong. Pig would not have liked me anymore if I took bites out of him." "Wait, are you telling me Boov ate Koobish while they were still alive?" Oh laughed, "They never felt any pain, they woulds even come right up to us even with the facts that we would eat from them!"
They continued talking like this for hours until a rumble was heard in the air. Looking up Tip saw the dark clouds nearby and knew they had to get back inside. "We ought to go inside soon Oh, a storm is coming" she said to him. "Whyfor, if it only rain we will be OKs. While Tip is sweet, she will not melt" he said smiling and turning pink once again. Tip laughed, at sweet compliment he had paid her and explained, "It's not just rain Oh, the rumble we heard was thunder." Oh tilted his head confused, "Thunder what is being that?" Now it was Tips turn for confusion, "Wait, with all the storms Boovworld got, how come you don't know about thunder?" Oh turned to face Tip, "The storms on Boovworld only ever gave us a light and gentle rain, that is being all we had." "I see now" Tip said "Thunder is the sound of lightning within the storm." "Lightning?" "Yes Oh, a storm with lightning is electrical in nature, it still has rain, but it also comes with the risk of being shocked." Suddenly they both heard a CRACK BOOM from the storm and looking saw it had gotten quite close. They both ran inside happy to be safe within the apartment once again. Oh turned to Tip once they both caught their breath, "Tip your weather here is being quite different from what us Boovs are used to, could you be teaching me some more about Earth weather? If I am to be doing a good job of leading the Boov, I will be needing to know about potential hazards we might be facing." Tip nodded, "Sure Oh, let me get my science book and I will show you what it says about our weather." As Tip looked around her room for the book, Oh pulled out his Pad and was sending out a message to his fellow Boov (he had modified the email screen so the send all would just send it to all Boovs) alerting them to the danger that was in the storm nearby, and cautioning them to get inside to safety.
Kyle responded quickly, "It sure is being a good thing you has Tip around to teach you this stuff! By the ways, has you tolds Tip hows you feel about her yet?"
Oh laughed as he replied, "I am thankful for her helping me as well, and no I has not told her yet. She is being too young for courtship just now. In a few years I will tells her."
"What! She is not being grown yet? I had thought she was only a small adult after alls she did a few months ago!"
Again Oh laughed, knowing that her maturity at a young age was part of what made her special to him, "In a few years she will be grown, I am willing to wait."
"You knows all the Boovs are wondering when you two will start courting, afters all you did turn pink twice before the whole ship. Everyone is knowing it is her that made you pink."
"I knows, they will just have to wait to see what happens between us. And she is not even knowing what pink means yet."
"All this time, and yet she is not knowing? She surely has asked about it by now."
"She has asked, but for some reasons my mouth will not work after she asks. It puzzles me greatly, we talk on many things, yet this topic renders me silent."
Kyle chuckles at Ohs confusion, "It is being your great love for her that makes you this way, being shy as you are the strong emotions leave you silent."
"I hopes you are right, and alsos that in a few years when she is being ready that my mouth will obey when I want to tells her."
They both laughed, and as Oh put his Pad back in his pocket, Tip returned having finally found her book. Oh was grateful that she had not heard what was said between the two of them. Pushing his emotions aside so she would not see him pink, he looked at the book where she had opened it up to. His eyes went wide at what he saw. "Tip, there is so many types of dangerous weather being here on Earth, how can you live with all this goings on?!" "Most of the dangerous stuff is rare, and some of it is confined to a certain part of world. Usually we just have nice weather, storms only happen once in a while." "That is being a relief Tip, did you know we hads a hard time finding a planet we could be calling home again?" She shook her head, "No I didn't, I had thought you guys came straight to Earth." "We hads been looking for a longs time, usually the planet was having the wrong climate, or dangerous life that would be chasing us back to the scout ship. Then we hads thought we found a perfect one." "Was it Earth?" He shook is head, "No, it was on other side of the galaxy. It was beautiful with amazing rings, and even the weather was perfect. Just when we hads been celebrating our being successful it was suffering a catastrophic impact and was destroyed before our eyes." Tip winced, "Ouch, that must have hurt." "Yes, we were on the verge of giving up. At that point odds of finding a new home were looking super low. Thankfully soon afters we discovered Earth and made it heres just in time." Tip looked at him, confused once again, "Why just in time, the Gorg didn't know where you guys were until a while after the Boov got here?" "It was our ship" Oh explained "The quest for a new home took so long it being twenty two years long, that the energy hads gotten critically low. It took the Super Chip I found to give it enough energy so we coulds escaping the Gorgs attack on us." "I'm just glad they are no longer mad at the Boov", Tip said smiling at Oh. "Yes, I also" he said while turning pink, "I would not be liking it if I had to be leave you, I could not even be doing it when we were fleeing the Gorg." Tip smiled, seeing him pink even though she knew asking about it always made him silent. She was just glad that he was in such a good mood.
Meanwhile Oh looked at her book once more while sending out another message, alerting the Boovs to be watchful of the weather, and what to look out for in the many regions of Earth. He was glad to be learning so much about his new home. Even though it could be dangerous at times it was still mostly safe, and full of wonder for all the Boov that now shared the planet they called home.
