Space Ranger

Taking sides

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Peter screamed in anger. Behind closed doors to their room, Peter and Toast were having an argument. Well a fight. This wasn't the first one, but it was definitely the worst

"I don't know what you wanted me to do," Toast responded, trying to keep his calm position. Peter was making it hard though, Toast was starting to get frustrated.

"I don't know? Wait, go back, help him?" Peter said, listing off options. Since they had left Steve to SP7, Peter had been at Toast's throat almost constantly, by questioning his decisions, to just refusing to listen

"We barely made it out alive. If we had done any of those, we would all be dead Peter," Toast said, a warning tone coming into his voice. Peter kept pushing him

"Steve could be dead, Toast. And you just don't care?"

"I do fucking care Peter. Of course I do, but there was nothing we could've done. I'm sorry that you're worried, and I'm sorry that we aren't going after him-"

"You aren't sorry and you know it. You're heartless Toast," Peter growled and stormed off. Toast watched as tears formed in his eyes, the words felt worse than a slap to the face. Toast didn't know why he was so upset, why he took the words to heart, it was just Peter.

More fights happened before Tina called a meeting

"What is with you two?" She asked, surprisingly taking a mom-like role. Neither commander responded until they got a look

"Toast refuses to go back for Steve," Peter said, the immediate accusation flying from his mouth. Toast made it a point to roll his eyes and remain silent, showing he was plain annoyed

"Peter, he has reasons. And it's his call," Aipha said, having a slight flashback to his original crew.

"We made the right decision," Tina said, sticking up for Toast

"He's not wrong. Do you know how much danger that could put us in?" Karl asked, looking around slightly.

"Toast has a point. We could very easily die and he could already be dead," Corpse said, his deep voice choking out softly

"Wait a minute, if we had helped Steve when he made that stupid call, we wouldnt have be having this discussion," Tubbo said, knowing how much it was hurting both his siblings

"Peter is right, we need to go after him. We don't know what could be happening!" Sykunno said, jumping in. Corpse glanced at him, shock on his face

"We need to go back for Steve," Fundy said, shifting his weight. Toast finally got annoyed and he spoke

"You care so fucking much? Then let's take a vote shall we?" He asked, his tone dripping with annoyance. "Ok, who thinks we should go back for Steve?" He asked. Fundy, Peter, Tubbo, Sykunno and Rae.

"And who thinks we should stay?" Peter asked, watching as Mira split evenly

"Ok then. My choice, and I say no," Toast growled and left. Everyone watched in pure shock, having never seen Toast this pissed off

"Corpse!" Sykunno scolded, shocked that he didn't want to go after Steve.

"What?"

"You've never not once agreed with me,"

"Am I not allowed to have my own opinions anymore Sykunno? Just because I follow you around, doesn't mean I always want to agree with you," Corpse growled

"I never thought you would be this cold," Rae said and walked off with a shocked Sykunno.

Corpse stood frozen on the spot, watching as his partners left. Karl came over and rubbed his back

"Lets go bud," Karl said and led Corpse away
