Error/Moxxie speaking/thoughts

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Moxxie couldn't believe it.

He actually graduated from high school. Still in a sudden shock phase that this happens. Something so normal, yes it Hell he knows, actually happen to him. High school and then college. Well, after he hears back from them.

He looks at the diploma he held as he sat down with his classmates. He glances back at the area where his Madre was at. Even Dr.Medea made it and waving at him. Millie and Sallie weren't able to come as it was also graduation day for them as well. Yeah, the high school in Wrath make it a competition.

Family, friends, and enemies around. Yes, you can see Rats and Rabbits in certain areas. But their junior year elective rat class were standing by as guards to take care them. Extra credit to bring over next year to class.

So, yes it was quite packed. Listening and waiting for the names to be finished to get out these sweaty gowns. To no longer be here. Make last minutes memories of senior year and party night long.

But he doesn't see Striker.

He already knew he was unable to come when he talks with him. In fact, will be a long while till he ever see him again besides phone calls! Wouldn't give him his number so the snake imp would have to be the one to make the calls. Being very busy and wasn't even able to meet him. Even when he talks to Striker it really did sound like he wanted to be there for him. Wouldn't tell him what he was doing and be a bit secretive about his job. Doesn't even know when they'll see each other again in person! The glasses wearing imp was so close to just portal and find him. To demand some kind of explanation. Too not just do this to him! But didn't for Striker.

It still hurt.

It was different like with Blue, Nightmare gang and the others. Sure they had to leave and he did push them away when the job began to get worse. Yet, this just feel different. Maybe since he knew Striker as a child?

Moxxie touch the choker still with the star and barely took it off. Hidden under his shirt, bow and scarf. Along with the graduation gown. Some speech he barely listens too and the graduation was over as everyone threw their hats in the air.

"Mox!"

Moxxie looks over going through the crowd to see his Madre and the Doctor. He was given a big hug and he return it back to her.

"So, proud of you my feral child." She cooed and nuzzle him.

Return the nuzzle back to his Madre and look at Dr. Medea.

"Congratulation Moxxie." Dr. Medea grinned and hand out to shake.

Look at it and shook his hand. "Thanks Doc."

The three talk for awhile till the Doctor wanders off to say hi to someone he knew.

"Um Madre."

"Yes, Mox?

"Have you um seen um- "Stop when he sees Madre sadden look and stop. "Oh, um okay."

"Striker really wanted to be here Mox." Maria touches his shoulder. She too talks with Striker and kind of turn to an argument for him to be here. But he just wouldn't tell her why. Only to say he couldn't and will make it up. It aggravated her but also a bit concern what he was doing for him to take up so much of his time. Yet, she couldn't force him to come. As much as she would like too. "Come on he wouldn't want you be a downer. Neither would Susie."

"Whistler would nip my horns." He chuckles weakly but a little smile left his lips.

"Exactly." She smiles, a bit sad but happy. "Come on let's get some pictures and leaves this dump."

"Gladly."

The two took a few pictures. Moxxie was a bit surprise his music group asked him to take a picture with them. But did it anyway. A few random ones here and there. Then it was time for leave.

Didn't want to anything big but stay at home, watch and eat chocolate with Madre and just go to Space for a while. She was down with that too. Bolt was excited and happy to see them come back.

Well, that what they did and both were just fine with that. Able to talk with Millie on the phone for a while. Wanted to see him but wouldn't be able too till next week. He was fine with that and told her to not rush it. Talk for awhile till they both hang up.

"Hey Madre im thinking about going to space for a few days."

"To heal some stars?"

When Maria found out about that she was surprise. What? She didn't think it was possible they could get hurt. Sick? Yet, she couldn't stop her child but tell him to be careful. Along with to not over do it. She didn't want him to pass out from magic exhaustion. While he did have a huge extreme amount and would take a lot for him to feel that. Couldn't help but be worry as he been focus on it a lot. Even writing in his notes about all this. So, sue her! She just being a worry Madre for her very strong ex-destroyer feral child.

Yet, he still didn't tell her about Stolas.

"If I cross by any and just relax."

"Hmm well I can't stop you." She sighs dramatically but kept her eyes on him.

"Okay." That'll work out well. "Need me to do anything- "

"Mox go have fun. I can take care of everything and I'll relax, cuddle with Bolty here." Cuddle the too happy blaster pup and got lick to the cheek. "Go see the girls and hang out. Sell some moonshine to some cuties."

"Got your schedule planned out."

"A little but nothing to crazy. Ill keep an eye out for mail for you."

"Thanks."

"You better pack some food!"

"Dangit!"

Moxxie grumble as he pack some food that was not just chocolate. Like some carrots, apples, a few granola bars, and beef jerky. A canister of water. A canister of moonshine. What? It tasty with the chocolate syrup he likes to add. Put it all in inventory along with some items to bring along. Changes quickly and gives his Madre a quick hug.

"See yeah. Call me back if anything happens."

"Go have some fun."

Moxxie formed the portal and jumps through.

Is this considered his senior trip? To others it would no since he is 'working'. Too him he enjoys it and not all just work. He relaxed on his back and look at the stars. Remove his mask slightly to see everything around.

He will never get tired of this. Everything either changes or not. Or he fined amazing discoveries when he travels farther and deeper. Into the unknown.

Surprises he not sure if Stolas knows.

Universe is full of surprises after all. Surprises that like to be hidden or just couldn't be found at all through a normal eye, technology, and even magic to a certain degree. Hidden away.

Like those space sheeps.

"Baa."

Moxxie stops midflight too see a sheep on a random meteorite. Look like a normal sheep but with lots of differences. The wool was like different shades or green and purple that many would mistake for the nebula. A few sparkles glowing. The fleshy parts of the sheep black. A pair of glowing yellow eyes. Well really four eyes.

At the beginning Moxxie really was unsure what the point of a space sheep was. Till he found out these fluffy fellows help a certain part of the galaxy. These guys eats stars. Well the stars in their area. It was beneficial. Then when it was time for them to shed their wool actually turn to gas. That gas goes into space to help form new stars, further areas of the galaxy, and even a coment. But those types of comets are further away that you wouldn't see on earth. Like one of their added components. A small role but important one.

They seem to like him too any time he able to see him.

The first meet up was very strange and was dog pile by sheeps. They were very soft. Thinks that's the first time he really hasn't scream by anyone from a touch. Then again rarely happens with animals. The sheeps wouldn't leave him alone when he pet them.

The baby ones are worse.

"Baaa." The sheep jumps towards him and bite his sleeve. A small tug.

"Something wrong?"

Small tug and pulling him.

"Alright. Alright."

Moxxie followed the sheep till he sees the familiar planet.

The sheep have their own little planet that look well normal. Just occupied with grass, trees, water and the stars that falls down in an area to feast on. Just well pastel color one way to put it how to describe the area.

There other animals that were there as well that would reside by their sides. Look like they have their own roles as well. There were birds with the insides that look like constellations. Odd fusion of deer and dragon that he will not approach. Only lets them approach first. Which only happen on rare occasions. The creatures underwater he can only describe were like fishes, axelots with the tails that formed different shapes, and even found jelly fishes

Magic of sorts protecting the area along with these animals to not be spotted or capture. Moxxie has look into the codes about that and can only compared it to anti-void in some way. Only a rare few can open a portal to find it. Or in this case just a barrier but hidden better.

Lands on the ground with the sheep. Glance around at the different color sheeps but sees a certain pile up. The direction the sheep that tugging his sleep to follow along. Moves along with them and when he got closer his eyes widen a bit behind the mask.

The sheep on the ground was a mix of pink, yellow and white. But everything looks so dull. The sheep let out a pain baa and moving their head around in circles. Their body trembling.

"What the heck?" He gets on the ground and held the sheep head. Sees the pupil dilated

Now look Moxxie not a vet or anything like that. He only pick up certain problems that could happen with animals on the visits to the barn or with Striker. So, he has seen animals sick or injured.

Moxxie pop open the codes to double check just in case.

Poison.

What poison this sheep?

"Baaa."

"Baaaaa."

"What-"Moxxie stop and notice a certain spot not that far from them. It was the area where some of the stars would fall to be eaten. Hands lift up and his string grab one of the stars. Bring it close to him and stared at it. Let out a curse.

It's one of those poison stars. But this one seem worse.

It was one that this sheep probably ate from.

"Baaa-"The sick sheep crying out in pain.

"Okay. Okay."

Put the star in the inventory so none of them can eat it. He look back at this sheep in concern. They ate a lot of it. While he knows poison doesn't do much on him anymore being immune to it. He still remember the first few times it was not pleasant. Even died till he was force back together.

Wrap his strings around the sheep and pull their soul out. He wince as he see dark purple veins of sorts. This was not good. Didn't waste any more time and began to concentrate. He going to try his best to destroy this poison like he did with the stars. If not enough time he will make it less painless for them.

Moxxie stayed with that sheep, and the others just watches, for the past two hours. Destroy all the poison out the sheep and they look better. Move a bit away to let the sheep stand and make sheep sounds. Nuzzle close to their little family. Still a bit wobbly and exhausted but after a good rest and the right stars to eat. Should be fine.

Speaking of stars.

He pulled the poison one out and study it over. It looked really sick as well. Not crumbling but the light just fades. Barely see any light. But was a hint of that dark purple coloring on them. Before he can start his notes and research on this new poison. His thoughts were interrupted.

"Baaa!"

Moxxie turn and eyes widen to see another sheep fell down. Then another one!

What the heck?!

He runs over to the first sheep and see how they were twitching badly. The other one was no better and look smaller. Then he heard another fall. While he looked at each sheep and getting ready to fix this mess. His eyes landed back in the areas of those stars.

Many look normal and shining brightly.

But he spotted certain few that were just like the poison on.

Few that were eaten.

Well at least he can't get sue or fired in space to be a space vet.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Moxxie/Error got their work cut out for them. How was your summer? I was unlicensed space vet. How about yours?

Why are at the stars poison to make the space sheep sick? Will Moxxie/Error get sick too?

There is actually a legit reason Striker wasn't able to come to the graduation.

Should I do a drawing of space sheeps and animals on that planet?

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
