HOW would it happen?

[Skyfire]

(In an effort to keep this place going...)

Seriously. How would Buzz and Mira "get together"? Would it be some sort of catastrophe, or would it be more natural and normal? Would they date? Would they not? Do they have a real wedding? Do they elope?

Opinions, please!

Hmmm. I've got to think about this one for a minute.

...

I think it would be a bit more nomral. Maybe something along the lines of both of them setting up to go on a blind date and the "date" doesn't show. At least that's what they think.

They might date. I mean, they kind of know each other already, but that seems to be more of a "business relationship". There are things that you can't find out about people simply by working with them.

Of course they have a real wedding!!

[cherryinc]

Hmm. Good question.

For me I think they would have a complicated relationship. They wouldn't be dating like normal folks---heck I really don't think they'd actually figure out they were attracted to each other unless something bizarre happened or they would have to spend more time with each other. Thus the two getting to know each other better and finding that mutual attraction for one another.

I don't really see it 'click' just like that.

And a normal wedding? Psh! Lightyear do something normal? Nah. I can see them getting hitched at city hall or something without public or anyone else really knowing about it till later on. Kinda like a top secret sort of deal.

I think that it would be complicated (actually, most of the couples I like are like that). But... mm, I still wanna see 'em date~! I mean, their lives are already so crazy, I want them to have a break, y'know?

But yeah, either bizarre happenings or spending more time together. ...And since I've seen so many "bizarre happenings" in fics (with no offense to any of them), I decided to drop stereotypes and write them as growing steady in For Good. ...With rationalization and proper characterization, of course: Erin is Buzz's sister, but she's bunking with Mira. Buzz's and Mira's private lives come together... okay, I take that back: something bizarre does happen. They're still growing close, but a couple of days before Christmas, Erin gets caught downtown in a blizzard, and the same blizzard happens to stick Buzz and Mira together for 12-odd hours. (He's at the apartment overnight, but nothing dirty, people.) ...It kinda helps to move their relationship along. Just... little things like that that move them closer and closer.

For a while, I thought their wedding would be pretty private - y'know, a few friends, nothing more.

...It would be interesting, though, to see a state wedding on Tangea, with a little more ceremony than "Mira's Wedding" had. I have in my head the wedding scene in The Sound of Music, lol.

So I would say either something private, or something fully ceremonial (granted, they wouldn't want ceremonial, but it could be kinda neat to see).

It would be interesting to see a 'State' wedding on Tangea and all but I think it would be very amusing and hilarious to see some crazy outcomes happen at the wedding that's supposed to be a perfect wedding that every girl dreams of to something right out of a Kodak moment! Something that would be placed in the scrap books for their kids to find and say "Yep, that's our crazy family alright." XD

But anyways besides HOW it happens the question for me is WHEN does it happen? Like a few years after the series is over? Or shorter than that? I thought longer would be better because by then the two would be well adjusted to each other.

[Skyfire]

*laughs* Ohhh yes, definitely! xDDD

...Yeah, that's another really good question. I would say anywhere from 3 to 10 years after TAB, with 5 to 10 years being more realistic. ...For different reasons, though, I make it somewhere between 3 and 4 in For Good. ;D

[cherryinc]

5-10 years seems reasonable. In my story (I'm still working on it Sky, sorry about that.) they kinda start getting interested in each other life five years after they become a team and don't marry till like two or three years later. Kinda the same time frame now that I think about it.

Back to the HOW (because I'm a horrid admin and get here sporadically) I always imagined their wedding being interupted by a Zurg attack or something!

[Skyfire]

(Aww, Livie! *hugs you and giggles*) Yeah, I've thought about the Zurg attack, too. It would just figure, right? xD

[cherryinc]

Zurg's always trying to mess things up for Buzz. ;D It does seem practical that he'd try to screw up the man's wedding.
