A familiar abandoned spacecraft floated alone in the darkness of space. Wander and Sylvia gazed on and wondered if there was anyone inside that might need their help. Sylvia suggested that they would just turn around and leave it alone. Wander disagreed and pursued forward to the spooky ship. Sylvia sighed and later joined her friend.
The duo traveled on the inside of the ship and then later separated.
"Wander?" The Zbornak uttered. No response.
"Wander?!"
Nothing.
She later learned that something attacked the Captain and murdered him. Freaked out, the Zbornak quickly turned around and began to search for her best friend. Wander, on the other side of the ship, discovered something creepy and crawly. Despite it's horrific appearance, Wander laughed it off and treated the spider-like creature as a pet.
"Let's see what your name is!" Wander said as he grabbed the beast. It coughed up a name tag that read, "Captain Tim."
"Captain Tim? So that's your name! Who's a good boy!?" Wander playfully uttered. Captain Tim roared and hissed, struggling to get away from the fuzzy nomad.
Wander laughed and pet the top of CT's head.
"You silly little goose!" Wander said smiling. The duo walked around inside the ship for hours while Sylvia tried to search for them. The Zbornak was worried if Wander encountered the terrifying beast.
"Wander?" She yelled, hoping to get a response, "Wander can you hear me? If you can hear me, travel towards the sound of my voice!"
Sylvia looked around and stared at creepy shadows that appeared on the dim lit walls. In the back of her mind, she felt like someone or something was staring her down. Out of fear and every once and a while, she cautiously looked behind her, making sure that nothing was going to sneak attack her and rip her limb from limb.
"It's going to be okay, Sylvia. It's just a dark and cramped spaceship. There is nothing to be afraid of.."
Suddenly, something dropped from the black ceiling and hissed at her. The creature lunged forward, attaching itself on her face. Screaming, she ended up losing her balance and fell on her back on the cold metal floor.
"EEWW, YUCK, GET OFF OF ME!" Sylva screamed. Sylvia ran away as fast as she could possibly go. The creature didn't let up and followed her, grabbing her by the straps; dragging her back. A pipe nearby was grabbed by her strong blue tail and the creature lost grip.
Sylvia grunted as she hit the floor. A blaster was next to her and instinctively grabbed it and shot at the scittery creature. It retreated.
"Yeah, you better run you... spider ALIEN THING!"
After her encounter with Captain Tim, she vowed to save Wander from the little evil menace. Sylvia grabbed the nearby gun that was ready to eliminated anything in her path. The Zbornak traveled the dark hallways and stopped suddenly. A drop of an unknown liquid fell and landed on her snout. Her eyes peered up and saw some sort of cocoon.
"Wander?!" She gasped as she reached for it, pulling it down and opening it. The insides revealed an orange fuzz that was similar to Wander's fur. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she began to weep uncontrollably. Knowing that Wander was "dead" she needed to move on and by doing this, she planned her own escape by exiting the ship by escape pods. From there, she continued the water works and then looked back at the ship. A familiar figure stood inside the window and it soon disappeared with the help of the attacker.
"Wander?!"
She launched herself out in space and made her way back to the ship. A bigger arsenal was equipped. A giant robotic machine. She launched herself through walls and doors. Sylvia was determined to find Wander and separate him from his new wild friend. Wander was her owner and nothing bad should ever happen to the happy fella. No matter what kind of encounters Sylvia had with Captain Tim, she tried to get a step closer to Wander and grab him. A true friend indeed.

"It doesn't matter what we do, something else that is bad, happens." Wander sighed and rubbed his blue shoe in the sand.
The Zbornak lowered her head and sighed, showing signs of empathy. "I know, Wander. We just gotta keep moving. I'm sure that this day will eventually get better."
"I sure hope so..."
The two of them noticed something flying in the dead of space. Flames shot out on the end of it and smoke followed.
"What is that?" Wander squinted. Sylvia did as well.
"Is that a missile?" Sylvia asked, eyeballing the Hater design on it. "By the looks of it, it belongs to Bonehead."
"Sylvia... I have been thinking, maybe, um... tsk... we shouldn't stop it." Wander said quietly.. afraid of her response.
"Are you outta your flip pickin' lup sork?!"
"Uh, what if something worse happens? I always believe that when you start on the right path, you had always end up in the right place, but... every time we try to do good, it just turns into something worse, and worse, and worse. If we stop that missile, it... could cause the whole universe to - "
"Wander, with the day we've been having, that is entirely possible. But I'm also saying that if doing a good deed leads to the universe getting destroyed... partner, that's not a universe I wanna live in anyway."
Wander grabbed Sylvia's hand and the duo raced toward the flying projectile. His Zbornak buddie boosted him, launching himself in front of the missile. He landed on top of the missile and pushed it down, causing it to turn around and go back where it came from.
The starnomad landed back inside the bubble with Sylvia.
The two just saved the sun from being blown up by the clutches of Lord Hater and his fiery anger. They could finally rest better since they now know that they saved the sun and possibly the whole universe.

"Wander, where are you?" Sylvia said as she carried his big green hat around. A giant creature roared beneath the tall mushrooms. Her heart raced whenever a nearby mushroom collapsed to the abyss below.
"Oh, crap. At this rate , I am never going to find Wander."
The creature below shot up like a giant pogo stick, nearly missing her. Sylvia collapsed on her butt and grunted. Quickly getting back on her feet, she ran up the tallest mushroom and waited until the creature scurried away.
'Okay, Sylvia. Think of a plan. Old Worm Face is down there, looking for me. I need something..." She glanced to the object in her hands, clenching the fibers.
"The Hat! It must give me something!" She smiled and reached inside the hat, pulling out roller skates. "Why in the world are you GIVING ME ROLLER SKATES?!"
She sighed annoyingly.
"What must I do in order for you to give me what I want?" She shook the hat aggressively.
The mushroom vibrated and began to sink to the depths of hell. The worm below smiled as Sylvia came crashing down. It's mouth opened wide. Sylvia screamed and swung herself on a vine which went over the monster.
"Take that! You stupid ugly- OOF!" Sylvia's body crashed into the trunk of a mushroom, her body slowly descending to the ground. The worm had lost her by now. Her phone began to ring.
Ring Ring Ring
"Sylvia, I think you might need to hurry. But if you can't, then that is okay. I guess. But always remember that I lov-"
His voice was interrupted by a gurgling sound. Sylvia began to panic and began to think. Water? Maybe down there? She walked over to edge of the mushroom she was on.
"Alright, Wander. Here I come!"
Sylvia dove down and landed on big, dark green leaves which cushioned her fall. Her fists thrusted forward and caused a hole in the giant stem. Water came gushing out and poured down the leaves.
"Are you in there, Wander?" Sylvia asked. Nothing.
Fast forwarding time, she later found out that Wander was inside the worm. She saved him by returning him his hat and her favorite pie caused the worm to become nauseated; throwing them up.

All of these memories flooded inside Wander's dreaming mind. These past memories with his best pal Sylvia were awesome ones to relive. Sylvia really did care about Wander. She saved him from the dangers of Captain Tim and rescued him from drowning in the monster's stomach. They even took a risk by saving the entire universe by redirecting a missile. Wander sure is lucky to have a friend like her.

Inside his little mind, Wander opened his eyes and stared into the black void. Seconds later, a white light shined bright, blocking his vision. Once it cleared, a white door appeared down the "hallway." He walked towards it and opened it, walking inside an even brighter white...
