Part 71-73: Hotel? Meltdown, A Tune of Two Balls, Papercut

Part 71: Hotel? meltdown.

— she finds astrodude pacing in the waiting room —
SR:oh i uh... i thought you went home...
AD: Gah! Sardi! Where have you been? I've been waiting for you! Your mot- i mean my wife and i were very worried, we couldn't go home without you.
SR: mother....? Well whatever i was with dave, he woke up and is doing okay. He wants us to bring him the PS5 and his shirt, which is still at the hotel. He is still in that goofy paper dress!!
AD: you didn't hear anything.
I'll ask my son.. and sure, i'll bring him his shirt
SR:can i come with you to the hotel, i left some stuff there too
AD: of course!
SR:awesome, lets get going!!
— they exit, and astrowife is waiting for them in the car —
SR:(hops into the back of the car) sorry to keep you waiting... I kinda lost track of time...
AD: it's fine.. just let us know if you're going to do something, okay?
SR:yeah.... sorry about that...
AW: (waking up) huh what- oh hello you two!
AD: hi, hon. we're going to head over to the hotel to get sardi and dave's stuff.
AW: ah okay! Also, sardi, how come you were staying at the most expensive hotel in this part of florida??
SR: ah you know, dave finds he actually did get paid, but he just didn't know what money is so he just had like a million bucks laying around
AD: That's.. a lot..
SR:well uh.. i cant count that well... so like it may be less or more...
AD: Well, good to know. He can help pay for his medical bills.
SR:oooh! We will also want to pay for your new couch!! We sent that in the fax we sent you!
AD:Oh, no. You don't have a choice. You're paying for the couch either way.
SR: wha- yeah... i guess that makes sense.. (she shuts up after hearing that remark)
AD: I do appreciate you offering to pay, though. It shows you care.
SR:yeah yeah... (she begins to gaze out the window)
— after a while of driving in silence they arrive at the hotel —
SR: (gets out of the car) you guy can just stay here, ill go grab it..
AD: Alright, sardi. Go ahead.
SR: (stare at the two of them for a second then bolt to where she was staying)
AW:hrmmmm something seems off about her today....
AD: I wonder what's wrong?
AW: beats me.....
SR: (busts into the room, gasping for air) where is it where is it where is it!!!
(Shes rummages threw the beds, finding all of her's and kevin's items)
WHERE IS THE SHIRT!!!
(She goes into the bathroom, the pungent smell of throw up is emanating in the room)
Bleurhgg... this has seen better days...
(She grabs the shirt and wallet and makes a break for it back to the car)
AD: Oh- well, that was quick...
SR:(hops in the car, not saying a word. She reaches into dave's wallet and grabs a random amount of money and hands up to the front of the car)
AD: (he takes the money)
Is everything okay, Sardi??
you've been awfully quiet..
SR:(stares at him)
AW:sardi, somethings up isnt? You can talk to us about it...
AD: Is it dave?? Did anything happen while you were checking on him?
SR:(quietly) no dave is fine, im just tired of all of this....
AD: Of what?
SR:running
AD: Well..
Is that all? You were kind of silent before..
SR:not like physically running but like running form the nasaballs... i just want dave and tenn to be happy, but look what ive done... dave's in the hospital and tenn is depressed and questioning her purpose... all i ever do is make life worse for people...
AD: Ohh, sardi! Don't say that! Don't beat yourself up about it.. I'm sure we can find a way to fix this, and everything'll be better then. You'll see.
SR:(crying into her hands) HOW!! They will never stop!! And every time i try to make something better it just gets worse! Next time we get captured, we'll kill someone else and then they will be more mad UNTIL WE DIE! I JUST.. I JUST... I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOO
AD: (he gets out of the car, then comes back inside and gives sardi a huge hug)
AW: (follow his lead and gets out to give her a big hug) sardi its going to be okay... we're both here for you
AD: and we'll be here for as long as you need us
SR:wahababaabnaawaaa (she wipes her tears out of her eyes) thabmk yuo....
AD: any time, sardi
AW: i think we should get back and see dave now alright? I can stay back here with you if want me to
AD: i think she needs to pick up a few more things at our house.
SR: yeah dave want the ps5 to play cuz it boringgggg and maybe we get get him some paper and pencils if he want to draw or something... no books though! I don't think he like books!
AD: we'll have to ask our son first for the ps5, but you can get the paper and pencils for sure.
SR:okay!! Im excited to see him again!
AD: (he heads back to the drivers seat and starts the car)
SR:(back in a brighter mood) i don't remember much but the hotel was fun!!! We had these really strange drinks that burned but they were tasty!!
AD: .....
What, eh, what did they look like?
SR: oooh we had so many!! They were all sorts of colors!! The smelled bad though
AD: errr.. what kind of glasses were they in?
SR:fancy glasses.. some were tall and thin and others we small and only had a little bit in and some hand a long thin stem with the cup on top! We each drank like 7 to 8 of them!
AD: Hon.. do you think they..
AW: i think so... sardi, you shouldn't drink that many of those drinks... the can make you very sick...
SR:is that why we were throwing up on eachother???
AD: You what?
SR: dave and i felt super sick afterward and we were throwing up and i accidently threw up on him.. thats why he wasnt wearing a shirt
AD: Okayyy...
Maybe don't drink anything like that again?
Ever?
SR: got it! By the way... his shirt is still a bit gross... could we get it washed?
AD: no problem. we're stopping by the house, after all
SR:Awesome!! I think i want to take dave to the store and get him some new shirts... im pretty sure he has been wearing the same shirt since we met...
AW: (throws up in her mouth a bit from the thought of that)
AD: ..Oh.
Ermm..
Sure, when he gets better, we can go shopping for shirts.
SR:awesome!!
-~the keep chatting until they arrive back home~-
SR: (gleefuly hops out of the car and into the house)
AW:(walks inside like a normal human being unlike sardi)
Hey hon, im going stay here while you take sardi back to dave alright?
AD: alright, hon.
ok sardi, go get some paper. i'm gonna talk to my son really quick about the ps5.
SR:(looks around the house for paper and pencils, she find some crayons too)
AD: (he knocks on his son's door)
Heyy, kid.. you in there?
AS: Come in.
AD: Yeesh.. it stinks in here..
er- Do you mind me doing me a favor?
AS: (Turning towards Astrodude, sitting in a chair with multiple monitors in front)
Depends.
AD: Well... Dave's in the hospital, and he'd like to borrow your PS5 for a bit. Whaddya say?
AS: Mmmphh.. fine. Take it. I don't need it anyway, I'm busy with my research.
AD: Ah, thanks, kiddo..
May I suggest taking a shower? You've.. been in here for a while.
AS: I'm afraid I'll have to decline. This research is incredibly important, and it would be a shame if i had to abandon it even for a minute.
AD: ...
If you insist..
AS: Now, leave me to my work.
AD: (he leaves, and closes the door gently:
SR:you readddddyyy yet....
AD: yeah, just let me grab it
SR:yayayay!! (She heads back out to the car)
AD: (he disconnects the ps5, then heads over to the car)
alright, time to head back..
