And that was one of the things he loved about Mira: she accepted him and his heroism. All his past girlfriends… they all nitpicked at his faults and really let him know their displeasure when a date was ruined because he had to go do something heroic. Buzz nodded slowly. “Thanks, Mira.”
Buzz flashed Mira his characteristic huge smile. “Excellent. Maybe we can still see that movie.”
He stretched and yawned a bit, then relaxed back against the pillows, sighing. “Hmm, I probably should call Erin and let her know about last night. If she founds out on the news first… pfft, forget Zurg – she’ll kill me.” He smirked and shook his head, laughing a little. “That girl has to be the biggest mother hen in the history of the galaxy – sometimes, I’ve gotta wonder just who exactly is the older sibling, me or her.”

((Sky, I won't be on for the next two days so this will be my final post till Friday, unless I'm near a computer that is))
"No problem."
"The same Christmas theme'd one?"
Mira tried to picture Erin as a mother. She'd probably make a good one. "I don't know, but I'd better call her quick. Father already saw it on the news last night. There's no telling if Erin saw it or not. But the again, she would have called."

((D’aww! Okay, Cherry, thanks for the heads-up – see ya! )) “You bet.” “Uh-oh,” Buzz winced. “Your father saw that?” Well, that couldn’t be good – nooo, sir. Great – just when Buzz figured that King Nova had come to a point where he was more accepting of Mira’s career, something bad had to happen… His eyes widened as he realized something. “The NEWS?? It’s already on the NEWS??” Sure, he had no problem with his accomplishments being covered by the media, but last night wasn’t an accomplishment – it was a fiasco! And now thanks to the press, it was a humiliation! Calming down, he sighed again and said, “Yeah, Erin woulda called. Would you mind calling her?”

((Yay! I found a way to log onto someone's laptop!))
"Yes, unfortunately. When he called he was pretty mad. And tried to talk me out of Star Command again." She said the last part almost under her breath, hoping Buzz didn't hear her. She didn't want him to be mad at her Dad for that reason.
"Sure, I'll call her as soon as I leave here. Also, do you still want to continue on that backstory of yours?"

((YAY!! ;D))
Of course, Buzz did hear. His head against the pillow, he tilted his head up to stare at the ceiling. “Oh great,” he muttered. This just got better and better, didn’t it. One of these days, he was definitely going to give King Nova a piece of his mind, and it would have nothing to do with Tangean ghosting abilities.
“Thanks,” Buzz said gratefully, tilting his head back down. “Umm, back-story. Weeell… I don’t know. I mean, tomorrow, we’re going to have to check into Gravitina’s radio appearance, there’s Warp and Erin’s wedding to finish getting ready for, and not least of all is the issue of a certain Evil Emperor and his new lackey. And then there’s just Christmas, period – the holidays are always busy.” He blew at a lock of hair that had fallen over his forehead. “I guess my own personal investigation can wait – I mean, I’ve waited about forty years, I think I can wait a bit longer.” He smiled at Mira. “But thanks for asking, Princess.”
Speaking of pasts, though… There was something – actually kind of an awkward something – that Buzz had been wanting to ask Mira. He rubbed the back of his neck and said, “Mira, mind if I ask you… kind of a personal question? I mean –” without waiting for a reply, he plunged ahead before he lost his nerve, ‘cause it really was awkward – “I’ve kinda been wondering… Whatever happened with you and Romac?” There, he said it.

Warp sighed wearily as he paid for his fourth cup of coffee for the day and found a seat were he could be alone and think.
8:30 am. No sign or word of Shiv. That's good, he's out of the picture now and that's one less thing to worry about. He took a long sip and let the hot drink go down slowly, the taste lingering in his mouth. If it had been a "old normal" day, he would've been checking the news and the weather but his mind was going off on a tangent for the moment. We're not in the clear yet. Zurg must be busy finding someone to replace me and their first job is going to find Erin and I and to mess things up no doubt. Hmmm, I wish them luck with that. They'll need it now. Warp mused quietly. He was being sarcastic of course since he didn't really want Zurg to have his way. He and Erin had gotten the go signal from God and unless there was another sharp bend in the road ahead, there was nothing that was going to keep them apart.
Buzz? What? The mention of his friend's name on the small TV in the corner opposite him pulled Warp out of his thoughts as he refocused on the what Brent Starkisser was say, for one time in his life. It didn't take long for him to put the pieces together and realize that Buzz had most likely also had a long night.
Different kind of long. Warp's fingers speedily dialed Mira's number. He needed to know if Buzz was alright and if there was anything he could do. So much for "radio silence".

Mira snorted, turning her head to the side. She didn't want to talk about him. He never called her or spoke to her again after that incident a while back. He probably was off with someone else that fancied him.
Mira snapped back to reality when she heard her phone beep. Looking down she saw Warp's number and felt her heart skip a beat. She mouthed the words 'she knows' in Buzz's direction she picked up.
"Hello?"

Oops, he knew that look. “Or… never mind,” Buzz said sheepishly. Oookaaay, well, looks like Romac was a forbidden subject (that’s good)...
Buzz winced. Unbelievable that it took a twenty-year-old girl to make him wince, but apparently, family life does strange things to a guy. Besides, getting chewed out by your own adopted little sister isn’t fun.

"Hey there. How's everyone doing this morning?" Warp smiled slightly when Mira answered her phone as he initiated a "normal conversation. She almost sounded surprised that he'd called.

Mira arched her eyebrows up at him and then up at Buzz. She wasn't sure now if Warp saw the news or not. Maybe this was some checkup or something? Why, with how calm and normal acting Warp was being it was pretty hard to tell.
"Oh pretty good. But that depends, did you see the news?"

"Yeah, I just saw the highlights by our favorite broadcaster. How's he doing?" Warp tried not to sound or look too worried as he was still in a public area but he did feel concern for Buzz.

"He's gotten better, actually he's getting out today for good behavior." Mira snickered, sending a smug smile Buzz's way.

Buzz gave her a brief dirty look, then leaned forward. “I’m just fine. Warp, are we still on for tonight?”

((sry everyone!! )) "Huh. I don't know whether or not to be surprised about that one." Warp caught Mira's snickering and couldn't help but grin at the thought of Buzz's face, which was the next thing to appear on his screen. Warp laughed as his partner's face popped into the picture. "Well now, I can see that. Yeah, we're still on as far as I know. How did things go at your end?"

((S’okay, KJ – just please try to be on more often this coming week, please! What with the wedding fast approaching… ) Oh great, they were acting in tandem. It was a conspiracy. “What, getting ready for tonight or what happened last night? As far as preparation goes, Petra Hammerhold decided to rope Ty Parsec and Fop Doppler into helping her get the church ready – apparently, Plasma Boy came down with a fever or something. As far as last night goes, Zurg was testing out his new Hyper Hornet with the help of his new a…” Buzz’s voice trailed off as realization hit him. Zurg has a new agent. Red seemed okay for the most part, but Buzz was pretty sure he’d take a job if Zurg gave it to him. Even if it involved a crashed wedding. Even if Hellboy had been a hero once, even if he’d saved Buzz’s life last night… “Sweet mother of Venus,” Buzz breathed. “Warp, Zurg has a new agent. His real name is Hellboy, but Zurg calls him ‘Red,’ so that might be what he’ll go by from now on. He’s tall and well-built, red-skinned, has a tail…” Buzz briefly chewed his lip back before saying frankly, “If we have any trouble tonight, he’ll probably be there. Warp, I think this guy is dangerous. We’re gonna hafta be careful, okay?” He was about to launch into some precautionary orders, but he decided to let his old partner digest the news first.
