A/N: This was something I wrote in my time a long, long time ago. I don't know why, but I've often debated long and hard about putting this short piece onto here. But I'm feeling generous today, so here it is. It's been edited slightly, but other than that, it's here in its original form. Enjoy!
Disclaimer:...I'm gonna need to be more creative with ways to disclaim me not owning anything Buzz Lightyear of Star Command-related...
A somber yet relieved sigh escaped from his lips as he watched the stars in the night sky twinkle brightly, midst the white moon.
He was here on Capital Planet, taking the night off to relax and just think about some things that ran through his mind lately.
Ty Parsec leaned onto his balcony from his home, looking out at everything that was in sight; the dark night sky, the apartments, the nearby ocean. Breathing in the fresh and salty smell of the ocean, he let out another deep sigh again. Everything he went through lately was enough to convince him to take it easy for a while. But a part of him felt like getting back up and returning to his job now; you could not shoot down Ty for long!
But there was a time when he almost was shot down...
He cringed when the events of one of the worst days of his life resurfaced.
The military tribunal, the reentry of NOS-4-A2, his Wirewolf transformations-
He gritted his teeth as the pain slowly came back. Even though it was long ago since those events occurred, it felt like it was only yesterday when he was subjected to being the universe's punching bag... more than usual.
He looked at the ocean's horizon to get his mind and sight off the moon that seemed to mock him. Just as his eyes were about to rest on the horizon...
SPHEW!
He perked up at the night sky as something crossed the corner of his eye. Was that a shooting star?
Lo, there it was. It surpassed by the moon and faded away into nothingness, but Ty was fortunate to witness its bright beauty.
Wow...well, that was a nice surprise to see. He normally did not see shooting stars, due to his career and travels as a Space Ranger. This was a very nice treat for him, and for once, it actually made him feel a little bit at peace. It was then he remembered...
He heard about how you could wish on them, but he never thought much about it.
Seeing that star, though...
Heh, why not? It was worth a try.
He quietly made a hopeful wish.
"I wish..."
Fin.
