Author's Notes: Hello again! Here's a thing! Please review! Have a nice day! :)

On a side note, been going through some ridiculously hard times lately. I've done good so far keeping on schedule, but I have a feeling that's not going to last for very long. :( I'm sorry. By the way, thanks for all the support from other stories I've written lately. Nothing makes me more happy to see that old stories I've written are being read again. I already know what I'm going to write after this story. :) Pretty stoked for that too.

"Things have really changed around here XR…" Buzz told his cohort as they exited the Science Bay.

"You're telling me. You spend almost eight years rusting in a corner and suddenly we get new high tech floor panels," the little robot said examining the ground.

"I'm pretty sure those were there before…" Buzz added, rolling his eyes but grinning. It felt good to be with an old friend again. "If it's true that Commander Nebula is on council now, I'm not going to have enough time to visit him on Capital Planet."

"Why is that?" XR asked tearing his robotic eyes away from the floor.

"I have a friend here who is sick. She's staying in the medical wing and I promised I would be there for her."

"A 'she' eh? Well does this lady friend of yours happen to like advanced algorithm systems?"

"She's taken, by my best friend in fact. Sorry pal."

The two fell into silence as they made their way to the medical wing. Finally XR broke the barrier again.

"This girl, she's from Earth isn't she?" he asked, devoid of his usual charm.

Buzz nodded.

"So that probably means when she gets better, you're going back there again, right?"

"You wouldn't get upset at me like Mira did, would you?" Buzz asked.

"No, but things aren't exactly the same without you here. I mean, you used to be completely devoted to this job. For pity's sakes, it was hard just getting you to take a vacation! But now I guess… you've moved on…"

Buzz paused. He looked down at XR.

"The truth is, I fell in love."

The robot's metallic mouth dropped. "Tell me you didn't… You fell in love with an Earthling? I seem to recall a certain relationship with a certain Animal Researcher. What was her name? Bozma? Cozma? Oh that's right, Ozma."

"Ozma…" Buzz replied distantly.

"Yes, Ozma Furbanna. Remember her at all?" XR extended his robotic legs to Buzz's same height.

"Of course I remember her. I wonder if she's alright."

"Hey, she's your ex-girlfriend. You're the one who's supposed to keep tabs on her."

"She's wasn't really affiliated with Star Command, so I hope she managed to stay away from the war. I haven't really seen her since I crashed on Earth," Buzz said going around XR continuing down the hallway.

"I wonder if you should be more worried about Ozma's reaction to you falling in love with an Earthling," XR added sarcastically.

"Does everyone have some sort of bitter resentment towards that place? Mira was naturally a bit proud, just because of her family background, but I've never seen you act so unpleasant talking about a planet before," Buzz replied, getting frustrated.

"Maybe you'd understand if you'd been in our place when you left, Buzz."

"I thought maybe you would have been happy for me. I'd be crazy not to just quit my job entirely and marry this girl right now."

"I think it's great you're in love and all, but to someone who belongs to one of the most underdeveloped planets in the Galactic Alliance, well, I think you deserve a little better."

"Well you know what XR? It wasn't just her that I fell in love with. I fell in love with the whole dang planet! The people there are the most kind and loveable people in the universe. They've taught me so much about life, more than I could ever gain here like how pigheaded I've been all along!"

XR put a hand on Buzz's shoulder. "Buzz, we could've easily told you how pigheaded you are."

Buzz stiffened. He started to storm away.

"Heck, we could've told you that you're stubborn as a mule too. Could Earth do that for ya?" XR called from behind.

When Buzz finally stomped into the medical wing lobby, Jessie and Woody looked at each other curiously from their spot on one of the many couches filtered throughout the room.

"What's eatin' you?" Woody asked.

"Oh nothing. Nothing at all," Buzz replied crossing his arms almost like a child.

"See any old friends?" Jessie asked timidly.

"Plenty," the space ranger said sharper than he intended. He softened after seeing their surprised faces. "Any news about Bo?"

"Not yet…" Woody replied looking disheartened.

"I'm sure we'll get to see her any moment," Buzz told him.

As if in response to the space ranger, a slim pretty yellow skinned nurse with white hair shimmied out of automated doors. past the service desk. She approached the trio.

"Ms. Peep is all checked in and ready to go. We have her on a mild antibiotic until we can diagnose, which they hope to do this evening. But for now, you may see her," she said.

Woody practically took off before the nurse had a chance to finish her last sentence. He barrelled down the wrong hallway and the the yellow woman took off after him. After finally steering him back into the right direction the nurse couldn't have gone slower. She seemed almost reluctant to let the trio into the room. But she typed in the code into the panel by the door, and it swung open slowly and mystically matching the atmosphere of the room.

The almost ghostly figure on the bed opened her eyes and found her friends there beside her. Things were fuzzy and hard to make out. Regardless, Bo smiled when Woody sat down on the side of her bed. She was sitting up supported by the bed, head resting gently against the backboard.

A warm hand covering her own was the only thing she could really make sense of out of the exhaustion she battled. "You came…" she said absently.

"Of course we did. I told you I wouldn't leave you alone," Woody replied, stroking her cold cheek with his other hand. "Have you eaten anything since you've been here?"

Bo looked up trying to remember. "They tried to have me eat. I wouldn't have anything though. I was too tired."

Woody glanced at Buzz and Jessie with a concerned face. "Bo, you need to do everything the nurses and doctors tell you to, ok? They're going to help you feel better."

"Alright," she replied smiling weakly. "Woody?"

"Yes?"

"I love you very much."

The sheriff picked up her cold hand and kissed it softly. "I love you too Bo."
