Gary rubbed his neck, wincing. Quinn gently touched it with her hand, trying to comfort him. Mooncake finished firing his deadly blast, then fluttered over to Gary and Quinn to check up on them.
"Are you with us?" asked Quinn, "Is that you in there now?"
Gary's eyes opened, and he sighed.
"I think so. My neck hurts to bad. The freaking dumbass shocked me probably a good 50 times!" shouted Gary angrily, throwing his robotic arm in the air. Quinn noticed the collar was still on the ground, the light turned off.
"We need to get rid of that. It works as a tracker." said Gary. Quinn grabbed the collar and tossed it out of the ship and watched it flutter into space.
"Hue, let's get out of hear before the Lord Commander gets back." she said, and the ship took off into hyperspace. Everyone quickly cleaned up the ship, trying to put everything back into place. Gary was taken to his bedroom, where Mooncake floated above him worriedly.
"Chookity?" asked the creature. The man patted the little alien with his human hand.
"Aw little buddy, I'm glad to see you again. I know I was only gone for a day, but that was the most painful day of my life...physical pain anyway. Watching my dad die was probably the most painful." he finished, before lying down into his bed. He pulled the covers up over him, trying to fall asleep.
"Choookity..." Mooncake gently nuzzled against him, cuddling into the bedsheets. This was his regular sleeping spot now.
Gary was just about close his eyes when Quinn walked in. He leaned up, watching her.
"Oh, hey." he said. Mooncake raised up, wondering what was going on.
"Hey. I just wanted to ask...why did you do that? That only got you hurt." she said, crossing her arms.
"Ugg Quinn, it's obvious isn't it? I didn't have any other choice. I couldn't risk losing you or Mooncake or Little Cato. And they may have destroyed the ship which would of killed Hue." he answered.
"You..I appreciate it. I do." she smiled. He smiled awkwardly in return.
She leaned forth, giving him a kiss on the forehead.
"Get some rest, we'll probably be on the run again soon. So it's best to take some time to relax after what happened."she said as she shut the door to his room.
Gary felt his forehead, then turned to Mooncake.
"Score."
