You know what’ll help you recharge a bit! With a smile, you tap your goggles again and contact Cocoa. And… perfect, call’s going through!
“Peppa! Hey!” she greets cheerfully. “Good timing, just finished breakfast.” …Huh, yeah you guess it is still morning over where she is. “What’s up?”
“So! The planet we went to, turns out it’s inhabited, majority if not all of the inhabitants are mechanical life forms, and a lot of them are actually great folks!” you start off.
“That’s encouraging!”
“...Wiiith some less than great folks.” you add.
“Well, that’s more typical, I guess.” she remarks.
“Sadly it’s been through a… whole lot, thanks to said not-so-great folks. Villains with many monsters at their disposal, zombots and city-sized terror weapons, mad scientists with truly vile and unsettling schemes, a majin, and a cataclysm that… might have kinda, er, thrown it back in time?”
There’s a pause. “...Wait what?”
Your tail sways behind you as you scoot closer to the edge of the rubble you’re sitting on. “Or like, maybe into another timeline or something. Galactic Patrol rep we have with is says it’s not their fault so no one’s in trouble, at least!”
“You… do realize how out there it sounds, right?” She sighs softly. “Then again, you’ve probably faced weirder… well, are you safe, at least?”
“Nothing’s stopped any of us yet.” you tell her confidently, kicking your legs gently as they hang over the ledge of the rubble. “How about you? Everything okay?”
“Yeah! Oh, oh, I actually have a little surprise waiting for you when you get home!” she says enthusiastically, bringing a bright grin to your face. “Won’t say what just yet… but it’s something you’d been helping me work on.”
“Gonna keep me wondering, huh?” you ask as you look upward. “Well, all the more reason to finish up here and come back home!”
“I’ll be waiting. Love you, Peppa.”
You blush and giggle. “Love you too, Cocoa.”
