Teenage Wasteland part 1

It wasn't like she hated her father with every fiber of her being, she had pleasant childhood memories of him fussing over her when she was sick, piggyback and pony rides when she wanted to be a cowgirl space ranger, and him re-reading the same story for the six hundredth time as she fell asleep. But that was when she was a child, she was suppose to be daddy's little princess. She was now a young woman, a blossoming flower. She had to leave such childish things behind.

"Jillian Andrea Isabelle Lightyear!" She cringed at her old lady like middle name. "You'd better get a move on or you'll be MIA!" Giving her messy brown hair a quick brushing, and throwing on a pair of well worn jeans under her baggy tee, Jill took the stairs two at a time before tripping on the last one and crashed into a well muscular man at the bottom of the stairs. Rubbing his purple capped head, he glared at the young girl before him sternly. Grabbing her hand and helping her up, he crossed his arms as she dusted herself off. "Young lady, what have I told you about stomping down the stairs like a herd of Jo-ad moozels?" Buzz Lance Lightyear was a fair man, believing in justice for all and procedure. But when rules were broken, he stood strong until rightful punishment was set upon. Jill grabbed a slice of toast and wolfed it down before kissing him on the cheek.

"Sorry Dad, I'll be late. Can I get a rain-check on the stairs lecture, okay?" She said grabbing her backpack and bolted for the door. She gave a surprised yelp as a strong hand clamped down on her shoulder and pulled her back. "Dad!"

"No, no 'rain-check'. You know better than to stomp down those stairs like that. You could have seriously hurt yourself." She was going to be late if this kept up. Putting on her best sorrowful face, she looked at her father sweetly.

"I'm sorry dad, you're right. I'll be sure to go down the stairs much more carefully from now on. I've could have seriously hurt myself, or broken something." Buzz smiled at his daughter and patted her head, unknowingly causing her to scream inwardly. Quickly making her way to her bike, she waved at their neighbor, Mr. Hayman. She was about to unlock it when her father yelled out to her.

"Don't worry, Sweetie pop! Daddy will drive you to school!" Her heart stopped after hearing those words. He walked out and put his suit in the back seat of the hover car before waving her over. She had no choice; if she did biked she'd be late for the third time and would get detention. Groaning, she plopped into the passenger seat. Buckling in, Buzz smiled and ruffled her hair sweetly before pulling out.

Whistling a happy tune as he drove towards Jill's school, Buzz didn't notice the dark aura next to him. Jill was quickly trying to devise a plan on how to escape the upcoming doom that would soon befall her, when her father called her back to reality.

"This takes me back to when you were a baby." Oh. My. God. No. "I'd drive along and you would giggle and coo to the radio. And when we would get to stop lights I'd make faces at you, causing you to laugh your cute little head off. And once you-"

"You can drop me off here, dad." She said quickly, pointing to a sidewalk that was 5 feet from the school, cutting off the beginning of an embarrassing baby story. Buzz blinked in confusion but did so. Giving him a quick kiss, she jumped out and ran towards the front steps of the school. Smiling as she began to enter, a familiar voice reached her ears.

"Bye muffin! I love you!" she froze as her father's cheery voice echoed through the school yard. Turning, she saw that he was parked right in front of the student drop-off pathway. Waving bye, he drove off as other students looked on in bewilderment. Oh god, oh god, they'll know, they'll totally know he's-

"Whose loser dad was that?" One boy quipped after the shock wore off. Jill smiled a bit. They didn't see him, she was still safe…

"Don't know, but if he was mine I'd move to an abandon asteroid as soon as possible." She casually said causing a few kids to laugh in agreement. Walking through the doors, she smiled inward, pleased at her successful acting. Flopping into her seat she prepared for the day before her.

"Hey, hey Lightyear. I was beginning to think you'd never show up." A blue man joked as Buzz fell into his chair. Breathing out a sigh of relief as he sat back, he smiled at his partner.

"I had to drop Jillie off at school this morning." He said looking at his desk, photos of Jill at different ages scattered across it. Turning his computer on, he continued to talk to his partner as he began to work. "So Warp, what's on the agenda for today?" Warp sighed as he flopped into his chair.

"Nothing but paperwork. I tell yah, I hate the routine desk duty policy." He grumbled as he typed his password in before working on the mountain of forms he had. Buzz smiled as he checked his e-mail for any reports he may need to sign. Going through them, he stopped at one that had an address he hadn't seen in a while.

"Huh, I got an e-mail from Jill's school." He said clicking on it and reading the context. "It says that want me to come in for her career day…today!" Warp looked at him puzzled.

"Her career day?" Buzz nodded as he quickly scribbled something down.

"each student has a day in which their parent and/or guardian comes in and tells about what they do, so that way the kids have a better idea for their future plans." Sending the note threw the tube, he received a response seconds later. "Great! Commander Nebula is letting me have the morning off to go!" He said reading the note and getting up. "I'll go and pick up a burger at Cosmo's that way I can work threw lunch, and finish these reports before the end of our shift." Walking to the door, he waved good bye to his partner before disappearing behind the doors, leaving Warp to his paperwork.
