Buzz nodded his relieved agreement.
Buzz raised an eyebrow at Cora. Fully aware of what he was saying, he commented, “Cora, I pity your parents.”

Cora's eyes went wide as she sat up from her seat. She frowned reproachfully at him. "And what's that supposed to mean?"

((Don't worry. I'll remind you. ;D))
"Uh-huh." Warp responded, only partially convinced. "You don't think I'm the first one to say anything about...a wedding, do you? I mean, I understand where you're coming from, but...never mind." Warp sighed.

Relieved to no longer be the center of attention – per se – Buzz quirked a small grin. “Oh, just that you’re… something of a handful.” A thought occurred to him, and he followed up on it. Given the way he used “Princess” with Mira – in the future, he probably called their daughter… “Do you smart-mouth your parents a lot, Little Princess?”
Now that could work, or that could blow up spectacularly in his face. But it was worth a try.
Buzz unfolded his arms and shook his head. “I know for a fact – thanks to Erin – that some of the younger Rangers have betting pools, but I’d rather not get into that.” He checked his communicator and said, “We’d better get back to the bridge – we’ll arrive at Tradeworld in three minutes.”

"Really?" Warp's face bore a surprised expression, as though he'd hadn't heard of the betting pools. ...Erin! It was a lucky thing that Buzz didn't want to get into the details. He just might find out who was in charge of the whole thing.
"Yeah...okay." Warp dropped the conversation and followed Buzz back to his station.

"I don't smart-mouth any---What do you mean by 'Little Princess'?"

"I don't smart-mouth any---What do you mean by 'Little Princess'?" Warp leaned foward slighty in his seat so that he could see around Booster's massive form. Other than the sound of Buzz and Cora conversing and 42's engines running in the backround, the cabin was completely silent. I wish Erin could see this.

“Yes, you do,” Buzz smiled, amused, “and I was just guessing at what your dad calls you.”
The pair reentered the bridge and took their seats. Buzz guided the ship into the space lanes surrounding Tradeworld and said, “Mira, prepare to activate atmospheric wings.”

Warp didn't even bother to look up from his screen since he figured that anything he could see had already been drilled into his memory. He knew the maze of streets and deception better than he knew Star Command.
I'll bet it's as dirty and scum-filled as ever. A mix of memories flashed across Warp's mind.

"None of your business at what my dad calls me." She said, a little grouchily. She crossed her arms and held herself tightly, looking at the sparkling white flooring. She wondered if her parents were doing Ok, if they were even alive or not. And even if they were, was she able to head back into the future perfectly fine?
Princess. That's what he called her. And that's what her father called her before she left. Even if she hated the pet-name in the past, it meant more to her now than if ever did.
"Roger that, Buzz."

((@kj: Sorry I couldn’t make it – the computer was totally screwed-up! )) “Uh-huh,” he returned, folding his own arms. Huh, she looked a little… lost. He sighed and shook his head, returning his attention to the pilot console. The atmospheric wings extended as 42 descended into Tradeworld’s atmosphere. Of all the planets that Buzz had ever been to – which were too many for him to keep track of by now – Tradeworld was one of the three he knew like the back of his hand. The other two were Planet Z and his own Capital Planet. He guided the cruiser expertly through the traffic, headed for Dealer Square. Exit 107, coming up. Drop-off point. 42 turned off of Planetary Route 74, and Buzz started searching for a spaceport. Oh – Cameron Spaceport… that’d do. He set the cruiser into landing procedure and gently touched down on a docking pad in the port. Unbuckling, he stood and declared, “Okay, people – let’s move out.”

((Eh, don't worry about it. It's not like you missed anything. I'll be on until 6:30 tomorrow morning if you wanna catch me.))
Tradeworld, here I come! Warp realized this was his first time back on Tradeworld since he'd defected. It felt like it had been months ago, but he knew better. I...must be getting old, or something.

It was a long time since the team was on Trade World, but after a quick scan, nothing changed much. Actually nothing ever seemed to change on this planet.
Mira checked her jet pack before looking over at Cora. She seemed out of place and a bit unsure of what to do with herself.
"Hey Buzz. Why don't you take Cora with you guys?"

"Oh, right." Buzz had the grace to look slightly embarrassed over the fact that he had sort of forgotten that they had an extra player. "Okay, here's what we'll do: Mira, Warp, and XR will take the south half of Dealer Square, and Booster, Cora, and I will take the north. Once Rangers Sunflare and Frame get here, they can cover the surrounding area. Check back in every fifteen minutes, and we'll meet back here in two hours. Now let's roll!"
XR moved for the hatch, muttering something about having to share the best part of the team.

Mira saluted as she, XR, and Warp jetted away toward the south.
Cora stood a bit away from Buzz and Booster, unsure of what to do. She looked down at her feet. At least she remembed her hoverboots. That was a plus. The question was, should she use them? So far hoverboots in this time were still in the production stage and hardly were on the market. Using them could mean spilling that she was from the future.
On the other hand, there probably wasn't any jetpacks left for her to use. Meaning she might just have to piggy-back with either Booster, or her soon-to-be father.
She wasn't much up for the latter.
"So when should we start?"
***
Mira looked back behind her shoulder, sighing. "Do you guys think Cora will be ok with Buzz and Booster?"
