Epilogue
Mira did become Buzz's partner, though under different circumstances than she'd expected, and she wasn't the only one to join his team. Through a twist of fate, Booster Munchapper ended up on Buzz's team too, as did a small, smart-mouthed robot Ranger named XR.
Working side by side with these three Space Rangers, she went on adventures wilder than anything she could ever have imagined, and experienced the warmest friendship and camaraderie she'd ever known.
Although she never learned about the role he played in her mother's death - which was perhaps for the best, as it would have only opened old wounds - she did eventually discover that Lord Angstrom was far from friendly towards her and her father, and she helped bring him in after he tried again to overthrow King Nova, and he was taken to the prison of PC-7.
On her adventures, she also encountered someone she never thought she'd see again: Romac. The circumstances were less than ideal, as he was working with Zurg as a bounty hunter to bring in a defector she was trying to save, but she was still happy to see him again. Eventually he betrayed Zurg and chose to help her instead, but their reunion was short-lived, for they had both changed since they last met, and weren't ready to renew their relationship. The Grounder promised to win her back, however, and she knew he would keep his promise.
She and her father continued to have occasional fights, and their relationship was strained almost to the breaking point when she developed a power ghosting addiction much like his. It almost cost her her life, but with his help she broke the addiction, and the events brought them closer together. Eventually her father grew to grudgingly accept her choice to be a Space Ranger, and the arguing between them became less and less frequent.
Her life was never perfect, but there were times when it was pretty close, and she found happiness in her new career, for she knew she was spending her time wisely.
She was making a difference in the universe.
The End
A/N: And it's finished! I had so much fun writing this, and I want to thank everyone for their support. Thank you to everyone who read, reviewed, followed or favourited this story - I appreciate it so much. You're all wonderful. Here's a shoutout to all my wonderful reviewers, especially Fox and and Aaron, who provided some really long, useful reviews: Fox the Writer, ToInfinityAndEvenFurther, blueglows (the light of my life), Birchtail, Kgirl1, Raxius, Guest, and FenOnFire. You guys are seriously great.
Well, this story may be over, but you haven't heard the last of me by any means. I'm working on an even longer BLoSC fic, set post-series instead of pre-series like this one, and focusing primarily on Team Lightyear and Zurg, but featuring tons of other characters as well. It promises to be a lot of fun to write, and to read too I hope, so stay tuned!
