Your pov
We were following Benson somewhere
Kipo: so, Benson where are you taking is?
Benson: Kipo...
Kipo: come on! We've been walking for forever. I know you said it was a surprise. But what if I guessed? I've got it! You're taking us to a mystical blind woman who lives in a trunk of a spooky old tree and doesn't need eyes because what she can see is the future
Benson: ok, first of all, it's been an hour. And second what?!
Wolf: she's not going to stop. Just tell us
Benson: look, if there's one thing I've learned in all my time on the surface, it's that you gotta enjoy the journey, not just the destination. So everyone shut up and enjoy the journey!
Benson sighs
Benson: sorry. We haven't eaten in a while, and my blood sugar is crashing
Dave: see, this is why I don't have blood
Kipo: so, this Scarlemagne, what does he want with my people anyway?
Wolf: who knows?
Me: if he's using mind control on a Mega Mute, I guess he could try to use it on them
Dave: I've heard that he is a Mega Mute, and he uses his mind control to make people walk right into his mouth
Kipo: what?! I don't want my dad to walk in a mouth!
Wolf: nobodies walking into anyone's mouth
Benson: aha! We're here
Benson enters a bush I tilt my head in confusion Benson sticks his head out
Benson: you coming?
We follow him in and we see we are in a store
Benson: conven-yen-ché. I believe it's Italian for snacks. Which I need right now, or I'm going to pass out
Benson gasps
Benson: oh, no, no, no. No! This was my secret spot!
We see Mandu eating some crisps that are on the ground in a bag Benson sees if there's any left but there were none
Kipo: it's ok, Benson
Benson: is it?!
Me: it isn't
Kipo: y/n!
Wolf: do you even have a plan? Because this clearly isn't helping nobody
Benson: fine. You don't trust me? The old observatory. It's got a giant telescope that can see the whole city. If your people are out here, we'll spot 'em
Wolf: we're not going near that place
Kipo: what? Why?
Wolf: Benson why don't you tell her?
Benson chuckles nervously
Benson: well, technically, the observatory is Newton Wolves territory
Kipo: which is bad?
Benson: nah. They just look at stars and talk about math all day. They're a bunch of dweebs
Wolf: they're dangerous! Wolves are predators. Every one of them
Dave: yikes! Sounds like someone's still mad at the wolf she's wearing
Wolf: ohh!
Kipo: that telescope could be the only way I find my people. If there's a chance, I have to take it. Please
Wolf: if we do this, we need a plan
Kipo: yes! We're doing it! I mean we're planning it
We start following Wolf soon we're in the forest Wolf was on a tree root
Wolf: wolves hunt isolated prey. If we want to survive this, we need to think like a pack and act like a pack. We need to be a pack
Kipo: got it
Benson: yep
Mandu squeals
Me: alright
Wolf ties our arms together with rope
Wolf: pack rule number one: move in unison or die
We walk on a tree Wolf holds her hand up telling us to stop we all stop except Dave who hits me causing him to fall of making us fall Wolf unties us
Wolf: someone tie this around Dave's eyes
I grab the red cloth and blinded Dave then I stand next to Kipo
Wolf: pack rule number two: listen to each other
Wolf picks up a rock with Stalky and starts batting it up
Wolf: ok, pig. One squeal means jump, two is duck
Dave: huh
Wolf bats the rock over to Dave Mandu squeals once Dave ducks and gets hit Wolf bats another Mandu squeals twice Dave jumps and gets headshot Wolf bats another and hits him where it hurts the most Wolf orders Kipo to stand on a trunk then orders me to stand opposite her Benson was behind Kipo while Wolf was behind me
Wolf: pack rule number three: no matter what, watch each other's backs
Dave comes out with an apple
Dave: guys, I found a single apple
Dave then eats it
Benson: uh... uh... what?!
Kipo falls on the grass and grunts
Wolf: your turn y/n
Me: this isn't necessary
Wolf: don't make me trip you
Me: ok
I fall and Wolf somehow catches me I stand up properly Wolf goes back on the root of the tree
Wolf: and, finally, pack rule number four, follow your alpha. An alpha leads and speaks for the pack. The Newton Wolves will only address our alpha. That's just how wolves work
Me: and... our alpha is you?
Wolf: no, it's Kipo
Dave: why isn't it me? I'm the oldest and best-looking. I'm a born leader
Wolf: no offence, Dave but you're a pea-brain. These wolves are nerds. And Kipo is, well, a really big nerd
Kipo: aw, thanks
Dave: uh, offence taken
Wolf: we need to be worth more than food. These wolves need to believe we have knowledge to offer. Kipo knows all about stars and galleries-
Kipo: galaxies
Dave: ha! Nerd
Wolf: she'll keep them talking. They'll let us stay for the night, and we'll sneak off to the telescope once they fall asleep
Kipo: can't we just ask? This sounds like it involves a lot of waiting, and my people could be miles away by then. Or inside a mutes mouth
Wolf jumps down and lands in front of Kipo
Wolf: you think they'll be your friends, but wolves aren't like other mutes. Get it?
Me: aren't you forgetting something? Like your choice of wardrobe, maybe?
Wolf: no. No way
Benson: he's got a point. The poison staff and, uh, the dead wolf on your back might send the wrong message. Heh
Wolf: then I won't go
Kipo: you have a pack. You have us
Wolf hides her stuff in a tree I decided to hide my axe in the tree as well then we start walking to the observatory
Benson: so hungry
Me: we shouldn't call you Wolf in front of them, so maybe you could tell us your real name
Wolf: um, yeah. it's Bone Ripper
Dave: ah that's a bunch of- that's actually the coolest name ever
Me: come on. If we're going to be a real pack, you gotta tell us the truth
Wolf sighs
Wolf: why don't you just pick one for me?
Kipo: fine. We'll call you Jolene
Wolf: argh. Never mind
Dave: too late, Jolene. Ha ha ha! Great name
We climb the ledge
Kipo: almost there pack! Let's do this
Benson whispers: guys? Pack formation
We stand in a line I was behind Wolf we start walking
Benson trips making Wolf and I trip the wolves start growling at us soon we arrive at the front door Wolf is really close to me and I don't know why we get surrounded by wolves some wolves open the door to reveal two wolves one with a white lab coat and one with a black lab coat
Black: humans, in our territory
They exit the building
White: hmm. I think they're a pack. I mean a very weird pack. But a pack
Black: they're trespassers. And what do we do with trespassers?
The wolves around us started howling as soon as the wolf with a white coat started talking the wolves ended their howls
White: brother, brother, brother. Don't be shackled by your instincts. Remember, we're evolved. Let knowledge be our prey
Wolves: let knowledge be our prey!
Dave coughs
Dave: nerds
White: do you speak for your pack, bug?
Kipo: oh, actually-
Dave: yep. I'm the alpha of this pack. And my name is Bone Ripper
Dave winks at Kipo me and Wo- I mean Jolene glare at Dave
Black: I see. And what exactly is your pack doing on our turf?
Kipo: we're astronomers. We've come to share our knowledge
White: oh. We're the most learned scholars on earth
Black: what could you possibly share that we don't already know?
Kipo: there are one thousand and trillion billion stars in the night sky
White: huh. Kids stuff. Everyone knows that
Kipo: which is ten times more than grains of sand in all the world's deserts and beaches
Kipo reaches into Benson's backpack and pulls out some cards
Kipo: buy there are even more ways to shuffle a simple deck of cards. How many, you ask? Eighty unvigintillion combinations. That's eight with sixty-seven zero
Wolves: whoa!
Black: I thought the bug was the alpha
The wolves start growling making Kipo drop the cards on Dave
Dave: who, Kipo? She's my student. Taught her everything she knows about science and math and all that junk
Kipo whispers: Dave, come on. I'm supposed to-
Dave: bad Kipo! Bad! You know you're not supposed to speak unless spoken to
I whisper to Jolene: can we kill the bug
Jolene nods
Dave: this is Jolene. Don't expect her to say much. She's a real pea-brain
Kipo: of course, thanks to his diminutive size, our alpha's brain is also the size of a pea
Dave: it's true. It's very small. I've seen it. This is y/n he is Jolene's boyfriend also he isn't very nice
I roll my eyes if looks could kill Jolene would've killed him
Dave: and this is Benson, my robot that I built, because I'm a genius
Black: a robot?
The one with a black coat sniffs Benson
Black: smells quite human to me
Benson says in a robotic voice: activating demo protocol
Benson does weird movements
White: hmm. Impressive. And what about her
Kipo: Mandu?
Me: oh, she's our glorious alpha's wife. Praise Bone Ripper
I nod at Dave, Dave and Mandu kiss
White: well, uh, alpha bug. If your pack has been drawn together by a passion for science, you will find friends here. I am Billions
Black: and I am Billions
The one in the white Coat is Billions1 while the other one is Billions2
Billions1: Billions
Billions2: and Billions
Billions1: join us. We can exchange knowledge of the cosmos over dinner
Billions2: yes, I'm quite eager to see what else you have to offer
We enter the building we enter a circular room the lights turn off and we see the stars Benson, Kipo, Dave and I gasp
Kipo: hi, Orion. Lil Dip! What's happenin', Big Dipper? Hey, look, there's my sign! Aries! Remember when we saw the real Aries the first night we met? So, in that way, it's kind of our sign
Billions?: Newton Wolves! Time for dinner!
The wolves sit at the table
Billions1: your pack may be seated
Benson, Kipo, Mandu and Dave rush to the table Wolf and I just walk there
Dave: not till your alpha figures out which one of these is the cushiest
Benson picks up Mandu
Benson: shouldn't you sit with your wife?
Dave: don't make me turn you off!
Benson: my bad!
Dave: my chair! Come on. Get away!
Me and Wolf sits down it goes me Wolf and Kipo on the left Dave in the middle and Benson and Mandu on the right
I whisper to Jolene: hey it's all right. The plans working. As long as Kipo sits still everything will go according to plan
The Billions wolves enter with steak
Benson: ooh, yes! Beep-boop. I'm starving
Billions1: for our guests, our finest fillets
The wolves started placing meat in front of us
Billions1: and for the robot, soup du oil
A wolf places oil in front of Benson
Billions1: apologies if this isn't optimal for your hardware. We still have much to learn about robotics
Since I wasn't that hungry because I go out every night hunting I handed my fillet to Benson
Benson: really I can have it
I nod
