"Stop scratching."

Sighing, Suga brought his hand back down. He and Seokjin were currently waiting outside the city hall of the Alpacians for admission. The heat on this planet was enough to make the disguise that Suga was wearing start to itch. He was already slightly irritated by the whole situation, but being itchy on top of it made it all ten times worse.

"How are you not hot?" asked Suga as he clenched his hands into fists to keep from reaching up and scratching at his head again.

"I am hot," said Seokjin as he stood alongside Suga, "but you get used to the discomfort after awhile. Just wait a bit longer. There is AC inside."

Suga didn't know what he was expecting when Seokjin had told him and Namjoon that they'd have to go to the leader's dwelling. All he knew was that it wasn't this giant hay bale looking mansion.

'Hay. Of course it has to be hay,' Suga sighed as Seokjin reached out to hit the buzzer beside the door.

They waited a minute or two before an Alpacian moved to open the door. He had a spear in one hand; a grassy green helmet crammed onto the top of its head with two slots for its ears to pop out on either side.

"Seokjin! What brings you here?" came the happy Alpacian's voice.

"My friend and I were wondering if you might have the rest of his party here," said Seokjin. "I think there might have been a mistake."

"You mean those three aliens sent by LAME?" asked the Alpacian in surprise as he turned to look at Suga.

'He's going to see right through this disguise,' thought Suga who was surprisingly proven wrong when the Alpacian turned to look back at Seokjin.

"I'll see what I can do," the Alpacian promised as he stepped aside to open the door wider. "Come in both of you and I'll take you to our leader."

Namjoon - who was watching from a safe distance away with a pair of binoculars - let out a small sigh of relief when he saw that Seokjin and Suga were successfully able to enter the hay bale shaped mansion. They were one step closer to getting their family back.

Hobi, Jungkook, and Taehyung all stood in a line in front of the leader who sat upon his throne. Jungkook was currently being held up by two Alpacians since he had yet to return to consciousness. Taehyung and Hobi - who stood on either side of the Alpacians holding Jungkook up - exchanged a nervous glance as the leader looked at the items that had been confiscated from their possession.

"Why did LAME send you to our planet?" the leader asked without looking up.

"We were sent here to rescue a member of LAME that you have kidnapped," said Hobi.

"Kidnapped?" asked the leader, lifting his head and arching a bushy white brow Hobi's way. "We haven't kidnapped anyone."

Taehyung was visibly confused, especially keeping in mind the information that the LAME leader had told them. They had been told Seokjin had been kidnapped by the Alpacians. They were supposedly a group of wickedly diabolical aliens.

'Just because they look different doesn't make them wicked,' thought Taehyung.

Sure they looked intimidating right now, but Taehyung was sure they had a reason. He had a feeling that the Alpacians and LAME had a strained relationship.

"I think there has been a misunderstanding," said Taehyung. "We come in peace."

"You come from LAME in peace?" asked the leader confused. "They never come in peace."

Before the conversation could continue any further, the door at the end of the hall opened. It caused all that were gathered in the hall to turn and look as one of the Alpacian guards led in what looked to be another Alpacian and...

'Is that Suga in an Alpacian disguise?' thought Taehyung.

Hobi saw Suga and his face lit up.

"Suga, hi!" said Hobi. "Nice to see you!"

Suga sent a glare Hobi's way, which caused him to frown. He didn't understand what he had done wrong. It wasn't until the leader started to talk again that Hobi realized.

"You know each other?" asked the leader.

"Allow me to explain," offered Seokjin, "These people really do come in peace. They were just looking for me."

"But LAME sent them."

"They don't have any malicious intent against me or this planet," assured Seokjin. "So can you please let them go? They are my guests."

"Your guests?" asked the leader, still somewhat skeptical.

"Yes," said Seokjin.

Since Seokjin wasn't wavering from his statement, the leader - though still slightly wary by the newcomers that LAME sent - signaled to his guards to let them go. The only ones that the guards held on to was Jungkook who still hadn't woken up.

"What's up with him?" asked Suga as he walked over to stand in front of the half slumped Jungkook, cocking his head off to the side.

"The sleeping effect the Alpacians used on him must not have worn off yet," said Taehyung, noticing Jungkook slowly beginning to stir. "Oh. Never mind. It looks like he might be waking up."

Jungkook hummed, lolling his head back and forth as he shook off the last remnants of sleep before lifting his head and opening his eyes. As he did, the first one he made eye contact with was Suga since Suga still stood right in front of him. A slow, lazy smirk took over his lips followed by a huff of a chuckle.

"You look like an idiot," said Jungkook.

Suga rolled his eyes as he replied, "Well you are an idiot. Better to temporarily look like one than be one."

"SUGA! Knock it off!" sassed Namjoon from the earpiece that Suga still had in his ear. "The mission is close to being successful. Don't ruin it."

Suga grumbled under his breath as he turned away. Seokjin was currently standing near the leader as they talked together, casting glances their way as their belongings were returned to them. Jungkook was much more alert than he had been five seconds ago, yanking his belongings away with aggression.

"I can't wait to get away from these Serta sheep looking things..." muttered Jungkook under his breath as he strapped his sword belt back around his waist.

Seokjin eventually moved away from the leader to rejoin all of them, leading them back outside. The entire time, Jungkook kept his hand on the hilt of his sword. Taehyung noticed, reaching out to put a hand on top of Jungkook's.

"Don't do anything stupid," said Taehyung. "We're leaving. We don't need to create trouble."

"Yes, but we're leaving in league with one of them," said Jungkook as he followed Seokjin and Suga outside into the sun.

"He seems nice though," piped up Hobi. "He did just get us out of there and Suga seems to trust him."

Suga - who clearly had heard Hobi - chose to ignore it as they eventually arrived back at Seokjin's place where Namjoon was waiting to meet them. The moment Seokjin was inside, he morphed back into his human form.

"No way!"

The exclamation from Jungkook's mouth didn't come from his reaction towards Seokjin's sudden transformation though. It instead came from something he saw when looking at his phone, having dug it out just as they stepped inside.

"Those Alpacians turned my location setting on!" Jungkook continued.

"So? What's the big deal?" asked Namjoon. "Just turn it back off."

Jungkook lifted his head to shoot Namjoon a glare.

"I can turn it off, but the damage is already done," he said. "Now my adopted father - the one that is after the time travel device in your RV - knows where we are."
