Cosmos had long since decided that he liked Earth. It was such a pretty planet. Not to mention the best team he had ever been part of was stationed there. He loved space, but he always spared a moment to regret leaving Earth's atmosphere.
But there were times, like right now, when he could hold only awe. He had seen populated planets before, but none like this. Cybertron, for example, had been one mass of glittering lights, as had been most of the other populated planets he had seen.
But Earth... The humans hadn't spread to cover the entire planet yet. Well, they had, but they hadn't built over the whole planet yet.
The planet wasn't one mass of light. It was... dark, with webs of sparkling lights. He could see the human cities laid out like glowing dots, with glimmering chains connecting them. The main highways, along which grew towns and cities. The dots spread out along the whole continent, ending abruptly at the shorelines.
It was so beautiful. A galaxy of lights on the surface of a planet.
For a few long moments, the little shuttle allowed himself to float a bit, simply staring at the webs of lights. Then he reminded himself that he had a mission to get on with, and that Earth would be here when he got back. And who knew? Maybe Skyfire would bring up a few of his closer friends; Hound, Bumblebee, Perceptor; and they could all stare at the beautiful lights for a time...
