Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

A/N: Sky Captain is an awesome movie, saw it the first day. I'd been waiting for it to come out since April, one because it looked amazing, two, Jude Law is the best actor in the history of the universe and everything beyond! So, with that said I just thought I'd write something to contribute to the movie.

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, don't own them, none of them, how ever much that brings me pain.


Joe Sullivan gazed out the window of his P-40 Warhawk, looking over the long expanse of endless ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was beautiful! He loved going out on long flights by himself. There was just one little flaw to that this time: he wasn't alone.

"God Joe, how long does it take to get there?" asked a bored Polly Perkins from the back of the cockpit, "Its been hours!"

"There can only be more hours left then Polly," said Joe, annoyed, "I mean honestly, it's really not necessary to ask every ten minutes, you know the answer will be the same!"

Polly glared at him although she knew he couldn't see it. She sighed. They had been in the air for ten hours, only making stops when needed to refill the fuel tank. She was getting to be quite bored.

Polly and Joe were on their way to see Captain Franky Cook, a good friend of Joe. She had information that could lead the two on another mission.

Joe heard Polly sigh from the back seat, "come on Polly find a way to entertain yourself, we still have a few hours left, five at the most."

Polly racked her brain for something to do. Well, she could read a book. Or she could lower the amount of time in between asking Joe "how much longer till we get there?" Of course she could also try and find new and inventive ways of asking the same question like, well, "how the hell much longer until we get off this bloody flying thing?" No, that just isn't the way to amuse yourself for five hours, although she could always use it for effect. Maybe if Joe thought she was ready to throw him out the window and take the controls herself he would fly a bit faster.

"Any ideas?" Joe questioned as he continued to stare ahead into the blue expanse before them.

"Not really, no, I could use some help," Polly admitted, still thinking.

"I got one," said Joe calmly although he looked worried, "let's play avoid the big, pointy airborne machine headed straight towards us!"

Polly looked up and spotted it, he was right! They were about to be attacked!


A/N: Bit short, bit cheesy near the end, I know. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with this fic yet. Ideas welcome. Just thought I'd try it. Please review!
