I am afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you

[alotofnerve]

The surrounding area was quiet as Red peeked out of the hole they were in, the last cover before they left the tunnels of Fraggle Rock entirely to step out into Outer Space. Even though she had agreed to start traveling with Gobo and Mokey, she had yet to actually do so.

And even now, looking out at the dark open area just ahead of them, she hesitated a moment. "I...I dunno about this, Gobo," she said after a moment. Then she cleared her throat. "N-Not that I'm scared or anything! It's just...so sudden."

"Yeah, I guess I was." Not. Still snickering, he shook his head and looked out over the city again, though not without a little amused eyeroll.

[alotofnerve]

With another small laugh, she then glanced out at the city once again. After another moment, she then leaned against him a bit, her tail loosely wrapping around him.

[gobetween]

He glanced over at her, then smiled and rested an arm around her shoulders, his tail moving a bit from her lap to wrap around her midsection from the front.

[alotofnerve]

She smiled, leaning a bit more against him. "I bet it was harder trying to find something up here in Outer Space that Boober will like."

[gobetween]

He snickered softly at that. "Yeah, that's been a little harder. So far I think I've only seen him in Scrooge's garden exactly once. I'll find something, though."

[alotofnerve]

"Just take him to where Silly Creatures do their laundry. He might like that."

[gobetween]

He snorted at the thought. "You know, I think he might. I'll have to ask next time I talk to one of them."

[alotofnerve]

She giggled a bit, settling a little more against his side. She tried to bite back a yawn, but she was only marginally successful.

[gobetween]

Uh-huh, he caught that. He glanced at her, smiling lightly. "Ready to go back?"

[alotofnerve]

She glanced at him, clearly not wanting to move again. "Why can't we just stay here for tonight?"

[gobetween]

He seemed lightly surprised a moment, then nodded and smiled. "We could do that, if you wanted."

[alotofnerve]

With a smile, she nodded. "Yeah. I mean, we're already comfortable. Plus, it's getting late, and there could be all sorts of other critters around. It's just safer to stay here for tonight."

[gobetween]

He snugged his arm up a bit more around her and nodded. "I think you have a point, eh? We oughta just stay here, then."

[alotofnerve]

"Of course I do," she replied, leaning against him. "I'm always full of good points."

[gobetween]

"Well, everybody's gotta be right at least once in their life."

[alotofnerve]

She lightly shoved him with her shoulder.

[gobetween]

He swayed a bit with that and laughed. "Alright, fine. But you're definitely right about staying out here, though."

He leaned a little so he could look up some, smiling. "If I can admit? I've kinda gotten attached to just watchin' the sky, sometimes. I know we got plenty of it in the Gorgs' garden, but there's something different about it in Outer Space..."

[alotofnerve]

Satisfied, she nodded, then followed his gaze up to to the sky. "Yeah...it just seems even bigger out here somehow."

[gobetween]

"Apparently, that up there is what they call Outer Space. And it's nothing like ours, it's mostly stars and stuff, but just imagine it... A whole other layer to the universe, something different that waits for Silly Creatures the way our Outer Space kinda waits for us."

He was quiet a moment, then chuckled gently. "It's kinda neat, I think. That both Fraggles and Silly Creatures have something called 'Outer Space,' even if it's completely different. Just another way everything's connected."

[alotofnerve]

She glanced at Gobo, a bit surprised. "Huh...really? That's their Outer Space up there?"

[gobetween]

"Mm-hmm. Bridge told me about it. It was pretty overwhelming to think about at first, but after watching the sky a bunch... it's not so bad. It's pretty out here, really. Especially sunrises, and sunsets."

[alotofnerve]

"Yeah?" She shifted slightly to turn more towards Gobo. "Can we see it?"
