the academy's  communication was down. since they weren't in the milky way galaxy, but the pisces galaxy (around 20 hours through hyperspace from the century galaxy), it hadn't been the asher's, who could be easily bribed to shutting down a planets communications, due to them owning the milky way galaxy's radiowaves.

since pisces was a small galaxy of only around 750 functional planets and two million stars, everyone owned their own radiowaves by rights.

beckett owned the academy's waves and friday handled all communications going to and from all the planets in the solar system.

pete continued pressing the hologram disk button, but nothing happened.

"could i help?" pete turned around and saw mikey standing in the doorframe, skin glittering more than usual in the dull lighting. pete nearly fell over.

"i don't know, can you fix the academy's communication?" pete turned around, but he could feel mikey's eyes burning into his back.

"should i tell patrick?" pete turned again, this time noticing the two michael's standing behind mikey. mike was frowning, looking much more understanding than michael, who looked around with wide eyes.

pete had a strict rule of no kids in the communications room.

"yeah, he needs to know."

pete turned around again, pressing on the button.

and once again, nothing happened.

dinner on the decaydance was strange. no one was holding loud conversation and gerard was frowning.

gerard never frowned, pete had noticed, even in his bad moods. he just gave everyone noticeably fake smiles and went on with his day.

"i'm sure they're fine," everyone visibly stiffened when pete spoke, but he ignored it, continuing;  "maybe they just don't have anyone in their communications room." it was a lie. they had over five alexes (including the alexes) working there in alternate shifts. alex suarez, while on breaks from running his ship, also tended to work there part time, because it's 'a more reliable source of money than illegal trades'.

beckett always payed his staff well.

everyone seemed to accept pete's reasoning, even though none of them believed it.

---

"hey 'trick," pete balanced a bowl of hot vegetable and noodle soup and a cup of purple chamomile tea on a fake silver tray expertly, walking steadily over to patrick and putting the tray on the small space especially installed for the pilot's meals.

"hello pete, thanks," patrick grabbed the tea first, drinking half and setting it back down again.

pete watched patrick fiddle with a few switches and press a few buttons, before sitting back and sighing.

after a quick glance outside at all the galaxies and star clusters speeding past outside, pete headed back to the communications room.

---

pete woke up as soon as patrick's voice was heard over the speakers.

"one hour until we're in pisces."

pete was out of bed within seconds, pulling on the fanciest clothes he could find.

after doing his hair routine, he went to check on the unicorns.

beckett's planet, friday (officially named exo-3xx259-8m by the scientist), was easily the most luxurious place in the academy solar system.

well-known as one of the worst solar systems in the universe, the academy had many planets in close orbits, some even sharing. friday shared an orbit with sixteen other planets and was the fourteenth to be discovered. saybr bay was the main trading lane, with lights down the runway visible from outside the atmosphere and buildings dedicated to different things on each side.

before beckett bought friday, the academy was busted a few times, back in the beginning when ex-mythicals were discovered communicating through the asher radiowaves in the milky way galaxy. the asher's, being used to everyone understanding that they owned the communication systems in the entire milky way, were extremely concerned, because someone was smart enough to hack their security codes and use their radiowaves. the academy, as soon as they got their hands on the sirens, were caught, mainly by the extensive amount of traffic to the worst solar system in the min-3xx259 star cluster.

the second time the academy was caught in the illegal trades was when planet exo-3xx259-3e (known in casual conversation as planet reckless) decided to transport some heavy minerals from another min-3xx259 solar system. the traders got caught leaving before the scheduled time by half an hour to avoid ship examination, and were taken into custody by the planet authorities.

somehow, beckett has prevented the opites (the organisation of the prevention of illegal trades in the entirety of space) arresting him, even though only about 20% of his tradings were legal in the eyes of the law. in the odd. galaxy, everyone assumed it was the ghoul wentz rescued from the used and left on friday that meant beckett got away with what he did.

the ghoul, iero, was beckett's second in command and the one who did the investigations into people who tried to buy beckett's planets or his staff off him. the investigations were more like hunts for blackmail material, but the beckett house guards didn't care at all, and many were often seen taunting the people at the elaborate gates, using the blackmail iero dug up while the light glinted off the beckett seal in the middle of the gates as a reminder of what they would never have.

in conclusion, if beckett doesn't like something, he will do everything to stop it. he won't sell you his planets and he has people in the opites. beckett is not to be messed with.

"pete, you need to calm the fuck down," pete couldn't calm down, because, fuck, he'd lost mikey and gerard.

"trick, mikey's gone, gerard's gone, trick, we're in prison. mikey's gone, fuck." pete whispered the words under his breath, but loudly enough patrick could hear him.

he felt patrick's warmth leave his side and a distant shout.

what if mikey gets kidnapped by other pirates? what if he gets sent to the scientist and experimented on?

there were two bodies pressed against his sides, and mikey was breathing on his neck, glasses pressed against his throat.

mikey held his hand until he was calm again.

The only thing I can think of because im still tired af:

Pete is  on Vampire searching for anything valuable to sell, when he finds mikey on the beach, which is a bit fucking weird because mikeys a unicorn and he’s on a beach? A unicorn would get pete a shit ton of cash that he can use to upgrade his ship with, so he kidnaps mikey the unicorn and brings him back to Decaydance. While on the trip over to the planet (idk a planet just for trading goods) they get to know eachother and pete starts to think that maybe selling mikey would be a bad idea because he might possibly be falling for the unicorn with the fucking cute glasses but no one can know that because that will completely ruin his hardcore image.

Mby gee, beebo and everyone else work on the ship?

idk

(oml i fucking love this oml and he's totally gay for mikey bc everyone is and hes like heh nope not me lololol and everyones like pete ur a fucking idiot and mikeys just like 'fuck me eyes' and hes like oh)

yessss v v v v v v v v v v v good

gabe is really bad at what he does. worse than pete.

which is really hard to do.

which is also why he bit mikey.

pete, understandably, wasn't pleased, because now a unicorn had cobra venom in his veins, which, due to the cobra's sinful nature, could kill mikey.

"dude, i'm not going to die."

how fucking reassuring. that's like saying pete's not bad at being a pirate. pete is the second most shittiest pirate in existence. the first being gabe saporta of course.

"seriously, pete, i've had more sex than gabe and i've killed three people in your presence. i'm not going to die."

pete still wasn't convinced, but distressing himself was going to give him a stroke, so he let it go.

"oh my god, this architecture, it's so old," pete was pretty sure gerard actually squealed, "I want to stay here, please pete, i love it already."

mikey wasn't concerned about gerard, although, pete was pretty sure he wasn't concerned about anything, because he was mikeyway and he was cool. he was the type of person pete wanted to grow up to be when he was younger. mikeyway was the best yet worst role model.

pete was slightly worried whether this was a good thing or not.

"hi, i'm michael and i'm a griffin."

"and i'm mike and i'm a vampire."

pete was very worried whether this was a good thing or not.

"my name's michael too, but i prefer mikey and i'm a unicorn."

pete was no longer worried whether this was a good thing or not.

a lurch in the ship turned pete's attention off the mike, mikey, michael thing and onto gerard, who was poking patrick in the face.

pete was suddenly more concerned for gerard's life than whether mikey was a good role model or not.

"hey, dude, if you're going to kidnap me, can we bring my brother too?" mikey asked, and maybe pete was slightly confused, because most people would resist being kidnapped, and not just ask if their brother could come too.

"why the fuck are you chill about being kidnapped, like, what the fuck dude," pete said, and watched mikey's jaw as he spoke.

"some guy named gabe. i slept with him and after he was like, 'oh, can i tell this guy your location, because he wants to kidnap a unicorn.' and i said yeah, sure."

pete's eye twitched. a unicorn fucked gabe.

there was an obvious horn sticking out of this guy's head, but no one seemed to notice. or just didn't care.

the thing was, he was surrounded by at least three women and about seven men, and he didn't seem too worried about them letting him go, because he didn't seem to be in any harm.

because pete was little, he used it to his advantage, sliding through the thick crowd with well practiced ease. he felt slightly out of place in his blazer and knee-high boots.

the closer he got, the easier it was to study the guy he was going to kidnap. the guy had a tight shirt, tight pants, and a slim body. and a single, white horn, sticking out of the middle of his head.

that was the main reason pete was here, and he was going to get exactly what he was supposed to, before anyone else.

there was another ex-mythical creature rush.

pete was a pirate, and it was his job to get the unicorns before the other pirates, because all the other pirates wouldn't treat them right. at least pete could treat ex-mythical creatures correctly.

last time, he'd had to rescue a couple of griffins off suarez's ship, just because he didn't know griffins needed to drink sweetened milk instead of water, and the time before that, a ghoul had been kidnapped and the stupid people thought ghouls were able to go in sunlight. pete vowed to never work with the used again.

the worst thing that could happen is that someone's already gotten to them. saporta said they'd sighted unicorns on vampire, which might've been weird back in ninety-two, but it's the forty-first century, and seeing princesses living on the sub-planets of Barrington and Clairmont and attending the public schools is about as weird as seeing unicorns in places as dark as vampire.

it's not weird, not anymore

"why are you out here, mikeyway, on this beautiful night, where the stars are lovely and glittery and perfect, like you?" pete looked at mikey, who continued to gaze out at the interwoven time strands, intricately painted in metallic shades of purple and green, with occasional stripes of yellow and magenta.

"unicorns don't need sleep," mikey said, voice carrying slightly.

pete watched him sigh, breath fogging the glass.

pete is a space pirate and captain of decaydance. he ends up on the shores of vampire looking for unicorns, and he finds one... in the form of kind of gross mikey way. unluckily, mikey insists on bringing his brother, as they'd never been kidnapped before, and maybe gerard could get more ideas to draw. and pete's kind of in love but regretting the moment he'd met mikey way
