A week... I've been here for almost a week and... and too be honest this is so much better than that horrible mute fungus... I've been eating like a queen and sleeping like a baby here. Ford you have taste... but your research takes the cake, these formulas and blueprints are pure genius. "IF I CAN ACTUALLY FIGURE THIS OUT!" I threw all the books off the table. "UGH! FORD!" I take a few deep breaths and eat some crackers, GOD THESE ARE GOOD CRACKERS! "Ok...Mmmm.... these are good... ok." I pick up the books and set them down. "I need to breathe... Ford, you were crazy, but you did it... you played God, and won, the only problem is how did you do it? I've trying to replicate your formula since I got here... I can't crack it!" The hanger door opens and the useless behemoth of a bird comes in. "Apex, your back... still empty handed I see." It just stands there. "Will you say something!?" "Current objective: retrieve-" "yeah yeah, subject 726, will you just drop it already!?" I'm just ready to pull my hair out. It's been like this since I got here, it's been leaving and monitoring this cursed island, coming back to refuel it's rockets and leaving again, it's so annoying. Its so stubborn and big and loud and WHYARETHESESNACKSSODARNGOOD!?
"I can't take much more of this, when are you going to stop this useless search, have you even considered that 726 might not be here?" "726 is here." It pulls some feathers from a pocket. "Wait a minute..." I look through the research and see what I was missing, I quickly take the feathers. "How many of these do you have?" It reaches in it's pocket and pulls a bunch of them out. "Oh! I know what I was missing." I take all of them and make my way into the door. I was about to enter until Apex got in my way, blocking the door with it's massive hand. "Hey!" It glares at me with its red visor. "...hey... hehe... what are you doing?" "Doctor... I will not allow you to harm 726... any attempt will result in me having to override my programming..." I back up into the table. "And that means what exactly?" It activates it's nectar rockets, and the laser sight points directly at me. "...Termination..." I am not being taking this. "Alright listen here you, I will be taking orders from a mute like you! Besides, the sooner you find 726, the sooner we can finish the job, I'm not going to harm him, I'm just going to get you some help."
(Elsewhere, with the group.)
The group has been a lot more calm, and Kipo... very clingy, like she has not let her grip of Rook go since they officially became a couple.... just an hour ago. "Uh... Kipo...?" Wolf calls to her. "Hmm?" "Can you uh... let him go...?" Kipo laughs a little. "Ha! Good one Wolf." Benson gets up walks towards them. "Come on Kipo, the foods done and he needs to-" He reaches for Rook, but Kipo gets her eyes and fangs out and growls at him. He flinches and pulls away. He reaches again and she growls again. Song gets up. "Kipo! While I'm happy you found... uh... someone.... I think it's time to let him breathe." Kipo tightens her grip. "He doesn't mind this, he likes it. Right Rook?" Rooks looks nervous. "...Right...Rook?" She says in a low tone, he quickly smiles and nods enthusiastically. Kipo smiles and kisses his cheek. "See he loves it." The group all share a look.
(10 seconds later.)
"NO NO NO LET GO, MY BIRD MINE!" The group is currently trying to pry Kipo off of Rook. Benson, Dave and Molly are pulling Kipo, while Song Lio and Wolf are pulling Rook. "UGH! KIPO JUST LET GO!" Benson exclaimed. "NEVER!" Kipo pulls on Rook, Song almost loses her grip. "UGH, ROOK DO SOMETHING!" Rook is currently being used for tug of war and isn't having fun. "AAAAHHHHH! WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO!?" They continue to pull, but Kipo isn't letting go. Benson gets an idea. "UGH DAVE TICKLE HER!" "Great idea brother!" Dave casually walks in front of Kipo and smirks with his hands up. Kipo glares at him. "Dave. Don't. You. Dare." She warns him, but Dave just goes for her armpits and starts tickling her. She laughs out loud and can't maintain her grip, soon letting go and everyone falling to opposite ends of the cave. Kipo tries to leap at Rook to get him back but Molly tackles her and hold her in place. "Ok Kipo, we cats are clingly but even I know this is too much." Kipo is just growling and hissing trying to get out of Molly's grip. Song helps Rook up and checks him. "Are you alright? I'm sorry about Kipo, she can be very..." She glances at the thrashing bundle of fangs and claws, she calls her daughter. "...much at times..." She smiles awkwardly.
Rook takes a sec to breathe and sees Kipo continuing to fight against Molly. She stops thrashing and hissing and just lets her ears droop and she looks at Rook with a pair a cute begging eyes. Rook is confused by this. "What- What is she doing?" Rook is starting to feel his will fade. "Uh... is it hard to breathe in here?" The longer he looks, the more he's failing this battle. "UGH! Let her go..." Immediately Kipo tackles him into a tight embrace. "ugh... are relationships suppose to feel this cramped?" Wolf just hands him a piece of fried bug. "Only with Kipo they are." They settle down, and eat the cook bugs. Rooks feeds Kipo while she hold him. What happens next surprises them, a strange noise is heard. "Whats that sound?" Wolf asks. They all look at Kipo and realize what that sound is. "Kipo... are you... purring?" She glares at Wolf. "So what?" Wolf raises her hands in defense. "Nothing, it's just you've never done that before." She grins and snuggles into Rook's chest. "Well I never really had a reason to before now, but now I have the perfect reason." Rook feels his heart racing a little, out of instinct he kisses her forehead. She smiles widely and licks his cheek. Everyone just stared dumbfounded.
Molly clears her throat. "Well I'm going to assume we're going stay here for the night and-" She freezes. "Hey, who ate all the fruit?" They all look at Dave. "Oh yeah sure, blame the guy who likes to eat." They hear something rummaging through the other bags. Molly gets her axes and Rook gets his spear. They see that something is in the bag. Rook uses his spear to open the bag and a blue tail sticks out waging happily as it eats the food. The small creature pulls the food out and they see a small puppy like creature is there. It stops eating and looks at them and just stares at them. Rook points his spear at it, but it just sniffs it... with its ears... "What is that?" Dave asks. "I don't know, I've never seen this creature before." Rook responded, he puts his spear away and picks it up. "Aren't you a curious little thing." The creature is small and has the body of a puppy, a bunny like head with lop ears, but lacks a nose. Its feet are strange as well, they just look like furry little stubs, no paws or claws or anything. Its most unique feature is that it uses it's ear as it's nose. "Hmm, cute, I'm going to keep you." Rook pets it head and it yips happily as it leans into it's touch. "Wait you're just going to take it... just like that?" Benson asks. "Yeah, why not, I've always wanted a pet, but most things on this island tried to kill and/or eat me." Kipo stares at the little creature and looks jealous that Rook is holding it and not her. "So... what are you going to name it... since you so attached already!" Kipo says through gritted teeth, Dave scoots away out of fear. Rook thinks for a second and looks at the little creature. "Hmm... how about... Nosey!" Song giggles. "Nosey? I mean it's a cute name."
Rook gives his new pet Eskimo kisses and Kipo looks ready to blow. Rook sees this and sighs. "Fine, i'm coming." He walks over to her and Kipo suddenly snatches Nosey. "Alright, listen here you. He's mine and you not taking him. Got it!?" Nosey just stares at her. "Yap!" Nosey playfully licks her nose. "Aw! I can't get mad at this face, you're adorable!" She scratches Nosey's head and it leans into her touch. Lio yawns and stretches. "Well I don't know about any of you all, but i could use some shut eye." Song yawns after him and leans on his shoulder. "Yeah... it's been a long day..." Everyone gets into a comfortable spot and try and get some sleep. They wish everyone a good night, and shut their eyes and let sleep take them away.
