Author's Notes: For shining_phoenix, who owns Sissy.


"Have you ever thought about what might else be out there?"

Marshall turned his head, somewhat surprised, to look at Sissy. They were lying side by side on a blanket on the Hyperion roof, stargazing. It wasn't the most ideal spot, since the city lights around them made the night sky a little harder to see. Fortunately, with their lupine sight, it wasn't as bad as if they'd been human.

"Out there?" he repeated.

"You know. Life on other worlds, maybe. What if there's a whole planet populated by nothing but werewolves?"

"Interesting notion."

"Or maybe there's a planet that's made entirely of chocolate." She giggled, and he laughed.

"I see. This isn't so much 'what do you think is out there' as it is 'here's what I wish was out there,' right?" he teased.

She laughed too. "Not exactly. I mean, it would be difficult to live on a planet made of chocolate -- I'd eat the place eventually, and then where would I keep my stuff?"

"Not to mention stand."

"That too."

He smiled, tilting his head so it touched hers. "No," he said, in answer to her question, "I don't spend much time wondering what's out there. I've got plenty right here to occupy my attention."
