Own nothinggggg. and yess. i dont like this chapter too because there is no deep scene with buzz and jessie. keep ur faith, guys! itll all be in the next chapter.
He didn't know what to think of Jessie. She was fun, outgoing, and spontaneous. This was the complete opposite of Dr. Furbanna. Jessie's bright red hair sparkled in the sunlight as the two of them rode Bullseye to 42. Buzz looked up and saw Booster gliding above them in the sky. "Almost there," Buzz said, seeing the thumbs up from Booster. Jessie silently nodded.
"Something wrong?" Buzz asked the quiet naturalist.
"Is Zurg really coming?" she said ever so quietly.
"I don't know." Buzz admitted reluctantly. He didn't like not knowing. "But my team and I are taking precautions."
"I don't understand why he'd come here!" grumbled Jessie, mostly to herself.
"Power by the animals. He'd want to use them for his own evilness." Buzz explained the assumed.
There was noise coming from a near bushel. Buzz shot his laser at the bushel as an instinct. "What was that for?" Jessie shrieked slightly. That could have been rare or harmless!" 'The same sensitivity towards creatures' thought Buzz as he still compared the two female naturalists.
"My-my apologies." Buzz said, startled. Jessie only nodded her forgiveness.
"No, I'm sorry." Jessie admitted. "Zurg is just a sensitive topic around me."
"You'll be safe with Team Lightyear around." Buzz assured.
Jessie agreed. "I know. But he still made me afraid of the dark, of the night, and of, well, everywhere except Karn."
Isn't that ironic? Buzz thought. "My best friend works for Zurg. Ex best friend, anyway." Buzz blurted out. Jessie looked behind her at him, stunned.
"Really? Who?" she asked.
"Warp Darkmatter. Agent Z."
Jessie's face turned pale. "Oh, him. Funny thing is, I grew up with the guy. My ex best friend was his neighbor way back when."
Silence.
"Her name was Emily." Jessie continued. "She's all good, don't worry. In fact she works for Madame President in Capital City."
"What happened?" asked Buzz. "If you don't mind me asking, of course."
Jessie shook her head. "We just grew apart. I wanted to work for Star Command. She wanted to be part of the government."
"I am deeply sorry." The oh-so-formal Buzz said.
"Hey, don't worry about it."Jessie brightened up quicker than normal. "That's the past. This is the present. And the future is when Zurg is destroyed."
"Alrighty, then." Buzz said.
"Bullseye's tired." stated Jessie as she felt the Naralzak's heavy breaths from under her.
"We can walk the rest of the way." Buzz said as he tried to get off Bullseye without hurting himself. Jessie laughed as she jumped right off.
"He doesn't bite," she said. "This is one mighty kind Naralzak me and Woody have.
Buzz lifted his chin and hesitantly climbed down the tail of the Naralzak. Jessie clapped her hands in mock appreciation, and Buzz took the lead, secretly too embarrassed to turn toward the girl.
"C'mon, Buzz." Jessie stifled a giggle. "I was just kidding." She caught up to Buzz and looked ahead to see a magnificent space cruiser right in front of her. "Wow!" she exclaimed. "I want to see the inside!" Without thinking, she quickly slipped her hand into Buzz's and began tugging him to move faster as she ran towards the ship. Buzz, too stunned to think once again, swiftly followed the redhead. He nodded at Booster to land.
The three of them went to the find the door of 42 being hidden by a green bug-like creature with 3 legs (one in front and two in the back).
"Wow!" exclaimed Jessie once more, though it was obvious that the creature interested her more than the space cruiser's exterior.
"Aw, he's so cute, Buzz!" Booster cried. "Can I keep him?"
"Negative, Booster." Buzz said. Booster pouted again.
Jessie patted Booster's arm. "Don't be upset, Big Guy." She said. "You wouldn't even want one of these. He's called a Huffle."
"That's a cute name…" argued the big, red space ranger.
"Yes, but he sucks out energy from whatever he touches." Jessie explained.
Buzz's face turned white. "So he's taking all the energy out of my ship?" he almost yelled.
"You crash-landed, Buzz. So I doubt there was that much energy left to begin with." Jessie said.
"Maybe enough to get home…" he contemplated. He raised his laser once again, causing Jessie's face to turn an angry shade of red.
"Don't you dare shoot that Huffle!" Jessie commanded.
"What do you recommend we do then?" Buzz asked, trying to calm himself down.
She pulled out a long rope from a small pouch. With concentration, she was able to lasso the monster and pull it towards her.
"Wow!" exclaimed Booster. He went to go pet the Huffle.
"Don't-" Jessie warned, but it was too late. The Huffle electrocuted Booster, who fell backwards at the shock. "-touch him." She finished, shaking her head.
"How do you know it's a 'he'?" asked Buzz.
"Trust me, I know." Jessie said mysteriously. After seeing Buzz's face, she laughed again. "Don't worry. Males have a blue stop on their lower back." She reassured him. He pointed to the Huffle's back and sure enough there was a blue spot.
"Let's get to work, team." Buzz announced.
