Warp crossed his arms over his chest as he said, "Whatever." He could never figure out for the life of him why Buzz was so touchy about certain situations, but then again, he never asked.
"Buzz, can I ask you a personal question?" Warp had to get it out before they got back to the bridge otherwise he'd never do it.

Buzz stopped and sighed. “What?” He rubbed at one eyelid with his finger.

"Then he can't use the cubes." Cora smirked. "I think it's better if Zurg did have them. That means we have a stable target to where they are rather than searching the ends of the universe for it."
"Buzz, stop now before you make a fool out of yourself."

Buzz stopped and sighed. “What?” He rubbed at one eyelid with his finger. "Um..." Warp let out a huff of air. He didn't want this to come out wrong, and have Buzz hit him for it. "Does it...bother you, to know that you have a family in the future?" Please don't take that the wrong way.

Buzz just shrugged, his mind already elsewhere. Really, back a couple of days to a virtual reality game in which he and Zurg had had to be partners…
Frowning, Buzz folded his arms and said, “Thanks a lot!” I wouldn’t even be “making a fool out of myself” if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m crazy about you!
Then his eyes went wide – very, very wide. Because he realized that he hadn’t just thought that thought – he’d said it aloud. In front of… everybody…
“Bother me?” Buzz echoed, frowning. “Not at all. Why should it?” He’d always wanted a family – it was just that his career had kind of buried those family instincts and desires.

Warp stole a glance at XR as he surpressed a grin. There was no way that they were going to let Buzz forget this one.
"I don't know," He shrugged and folded his arms again. "It just seems like you neve want anyone talking about it. No matter where we are, or what we're doing."

Cora looked at the two, probably more relaxed than anyone else in the bridged, then smiled broadly like a cheshire cat. "First day with you and a love confession. This is might actually turn out to be a good day afterall."
Mira, however, wasn't in the same blissful attitude Cora was making out. She was kinda star struck by the whole thing and not only that, she was embarrassed that Buzz said something as private as that outloud. She could already feel her cheeks burning with how extreme her blush was and if it wasn't bad enough that the team heard it, the kid heard it too. And she was laughing about it.
Wonderful.
Mira opened her mouth, but was unsure of what to say to make this all turn out all right.

XR caught Warp’s eye and smirked. He started drumming his fingertips against each other, glancing back and forth between his captain and 2IC. Of course, he was recording this on digital via his eyes, and though he wouldn’t stoop so low as to sell it to the media or something, he could still show the video to Erin, his partner-in-crime, as it were.
Buzz’s face burned, and he really, really wanted to just sink right through the floor and die. How could he have been stupid enough to say that??
“Um…” THINK, Lightyear! Think, think, think!!
Chirp-chirp! Chirp-chirp!
The vidphone screens flickered to life, and Erin’s face appeared. “Buzz, we’ve got a little engine trouble – we’ll probably get there a few minutes after you, okay?”
“Okay.” THANK you, Erin! “Be careful.”
“Will do. Erin out.”
“Where in the great galaxy would you get an idea like that?” Buzz protested. Running a quick scan of his memory, he couldn’t recall any such cases…

Warp hoped that he got an invite to watch the replay of the video XR was filming. He would pay to see it, but he decided not to let XR know that.
"I got the idea a couple of weeks ago when you and Mira nearly took my head off after I suggested that you were going to get married." Warp remembered the look he'd gotten even though Buzz was still recovering from hypothermia. "And just now, when I supposedly made a father/daughter reference."

((Actually, that would’ve been just a few days ago – remind me to do a timeline sometime soon.))
“I –” Buzz cut himself off and sighed tiredly. Maybe he still hadn’t fully recovered from last weekend yet. “The first instance was a case of irritation – Mira and I were just starting to see each other and already you’re talking about a wedding. And today’s just a bad day, plain and simple – mixed with a little paranoia, thanks.”

Oh no, Buzz was not going to get away with this. Not in the lifetime. Even if Erin did save Buzz's life at the moment, this topic was not going to die.
"So, um...Buzz. Mind explaining your little outburst there?"

"Uh-huh," Mira said, crossing her arms. "Mind telling me why in the world you had that on your mind at this very moment?"
"Because he's a man!" Cora said this like it was the most reasonable explanation in the universe. Mira lifted a brow, taking a look around the room. When no one commented she looked over at Buzz, who still looked guilty.

Buzz groaned at Cora’s comment, then cringed as Mira’s gaze returned to him. Maybe he could start banging his head on the console and give himself a concussion. …Nah.
He returned his own gaze to his console and stared at it with such intensity that if he’d had Zurg’s eyes, the console would’ve been slag. “Because you told me to stop calling you ‘Princess,’ and I was trying to explain why I call you that – obviously failing.” Then he twisted in his seat to give everyone behind him a warning glare – you know: “don’t-say-a-word-at-what-I’m-about-to-say-or-you’re-history.”
Then he returned his attention to his console. “It’s just… somewhere along the line, ‘Princess’ got to be something like other people saying ‘honey’… sorta.” Ohhh boy. Well, at least he said it.

If Mira wasn't blushing before, she definitly was now. Her cheeks had to be as red a cherry's by now. Maybe even redder.
"I think we should forget about this....For now!" She said quickly enough so not to offend him. She didn't want any more problems then there already were. "It's just...."
"Not the time nor the place." Cora finished. She wished she hadn't because everyone was looking at her. She blushed and sank in her seat. "You know...because we're on a mission. We don't need a soap opera moment as an intermission."
