A/N: Hello, wonderful people! I just wanted to thank you all so so very much for your lovely reviews. Hearing you all's thoughts and opinions regarding my work was very insightful and it has motivated me to keep going, so don't think for a second I've abandoned this series. I just want to reiterate that a few of these stories are totally AU, and because of that characters' personalities have been tweaked to fit their current environment, while still preserving their defining attributes. Antywho, the one-shot you're about to read is fairly short and I've written it in the past and posted it on livejournal, but I figured a large majority probably didn't read it as I'm not really too active in the livejournal community. The only reason why I'm posting it is to give you all something while you wait. It's actually the first Snow/Lightning fic I've ever written, so enjoy.

Summary: Lightning and Snow observe the night sky of Pulse for the very first time.

"You think anyone lives there, too?" Curious sapphire orbs scanned the glowing, pale yellow object as it sat trapped in a vast web of twinkling dots and outstretched gases. Holes and dents of varying sizes dented its textured surface. Those very eyes then shifted towards the cracked floating world that birthed them, and back.

Steely blues tracked the man's vision."Possibly." The soldier approached the edge of the lake where the lumbering oaf sat, tangled rays of golden light sitting messily atop his head. "Never heard of the place."

"How similar do you think it is to Cocoon?"

"I don't know, Snow."

"Guess."

She huffed, "I'd rather not."

"I think it's probably beautiful. With huge mountains and vast oceans. Peaceful, too."

"And what gives you that impression?" Her tone was condescending.

She could almost hear his brain computing an answer. Her brow rose and she folded her arms. "Don't know. It's pretty to look at."

"Yeah, well. I can say the same thing about where we're sitting. Hasn't stopped nearly everything on this world from trying to kill us. 'Pretty' can pack a punch."

A deep chuckle followed. "Like the ex-soldier who likes to bash my face in."

Silence. Her gaze locked onto the male sitting at her side. Pink lips slightly parted, but closed. A large hand pat the ground, and a goofy grin met her stare. She sat.

Soft tides pushed cold clear water against two pairs of bootless feet. "Think I wanna check it out one day. What do you say, Light? Wanna come with?"

She smirked, "Possibly."

Well that's the end of that. Like I said, it was fairly short. In any event, I am working on my next installment. I'm 14 pages in at the moment. I could've finished it sooner, but I've been so distracted with various life events.

Please, please review! Your comments inspire me to continue, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
