“Come onnn” Nebula grumbled as she dialed again. “Come on pick it up already…” she paced in her room, accidentally knocking over one of her plants with her tail. “Shit..” she said as she put her phone away, and started to put back the dirt into the pot, essentially repotting the plant. Well that sucked. Her friend Toasty couldn’t pick up the phone, and now one of her plants is in a critical state. Darn it. Maybe she did need To go out a bit. Fine. She was going to get one of those little isopods for Toasty.. she pulled out her phone again and dialed her twin, Sol. Sol picked up that phone after a few rings. “Moshi Moshi..? Ah hey Nebu, what’s up?” Nebula smiled. It’s even a while since she heard her twin’s voice. “nothing nothing.. I just saw the other day, you had this garden..? The Isopod Garden.? Am I right?” She said, waiting for a response. “aah yes. I do have that. Wanna come over and check it out? I have some isopods right now.” Nebula sighed and smiled. “im gonna go over..” she said as she was already going to her car.

In half an hour Nebula was pressing on Sol’s doorbell. “im coming I’m coming alright? No need to press it for so long..” Sol said laughing as he opened the front door letting Nebula in. “im going to show them all to you, and just for you, since you’re my twin, can take one for free.” Nebula nodded, before her eyes went wide. The isopods crawling around the smaller part of the adoption garden, where one could choose, were gorgeous. And kind of big. Nebula didn’t know what she was expecting, but she liked the cat sized isopods. One of them was smaller, probably another subspecies, based on how much her brother loved these creatures, he’d get multiple kinds. “you like them..?” Sol asked as he leaned his elbow on Nebula’s shoulder (she was so much shorter than him.). “yeah. And I want that one.” Nebula said, as she pointed at the one which had a rosy color, and a dark back. “oh yeah. Elvard? He’s a really pretty one.” Sol said, with a hint of smug professionalism in his voice. “ill take him.” Nebula said. Sol looked at her and he could immediately tell. “he’s for a friend no..?” Nebula was surprised how well her twin knew her. She nodded. “alright” Sol chuckled. “hes all yours. Or actually the friend’s who you’re getting him for.” He said, as he stepped to the isopod, picking him up into his arms like a cat. “you really mean it?” Nebula asked, as Sol put the rolled up isopod in her arms. “yes. Now go, and bring him to your friend. He’s pretty friendly, so don’t worry.” “Thanks, Sol”
