Chapter 1 - Lil Dipper's Early Days
The location is Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The site where anchorages were skimming with boats and freighters carrying vital cargo needed to support Florida's economical industry and shipping links. Boats and large freighters were a common sight to sailors and civilians but there is also a extra sight that were often seen from day to night.
Lil Dipper was flying above the anchorage of Fort Lauderdale daily. She was working her might out for long hours, hauling cargo in and out of the water from ocean-going freighters around her. Despite the changing wages she gained in her career, she was totally elated to her career since she was flying high above the anchorage she was working on.
One morning, Lil Dipper was sleeping deeply in her hangar when a male forklift awakens her up by waking her up with her nickname...
"Hey, Lea. Wake up, we have a ton of work to do again." - He said -
"Wha? What's the matter, Mike?" - Dipper asked, yawning -
"We have more cargo to be hauled to the anchorage again, Lea. They came from California." - Mike replied -
"Ok, Mike. I'll just gonna refresh myself up and i'll join you and the others." - Dipper replied back -
Mike leaves the hangar. Lil Dipper refreshed herself by wiping her eyes with her windshield wipers. After that, she went to her trusted mechanic, Sheila...
"Hey, Lea! Good morning to you today!" - Sheila greeted -
"Hey, Sheila. I heard that there's a ton of new cargo to haul." - Dipper replied -
"Yeah, i noticed it a few moments ago." - Sheila said -
"What does it look like?" - Dipper asked -
"Just a few large crates imported from California they say." - Sheila replied -
Sheila then placed a hose of aviation fuel on her opened fuel cap. While she was refueling her up to the max, she topped up Dipper's landing gear wheels with air...
"Lea, one of your tires have minor wearings." - Sheila said -
"Is it serious?" - Dipper asked -
"No, Lea. I got it under control." - Sheila reassured her -
After Sheila done with her maintenance with Lil Dipper, she cleared her for the hard work again...
"Ok, Lea. You're cleared now for you career again." - Sheila said -
"Thanks, Sheila!" - Dipper replied -
Dipper then went to the docks where Mike was waiting for her along with the crates that Sheila mentioned earlier...
"Lea, here's the crates imported from California. Let's take it to the hangars." - Mike said -
Dipper towed the crates to the hangars not far from them. After they towed the crates to the hangars, Dipper had a extra task given by Mike...
"Lea, It appears that there's more cargo to be checked in an anchorage stationed in Miami. Please go there and check what kind of cargo needed to be hauled by our tugboats. After that, report me back about that when you're done in there." - Mike requested in a proper manner -
"Yes, sir!" - Dipper replied -
Dipper then went to the water to take a dip. After dipping in the water, she retracted her landing gear wheels and she went to her common take off spot in the water. Before she do so, a white Grumman Mallard, sported with the livery of "Chalk's Ocean Airways", was preparing to take off. Dipper greeted him...
"Hey, Lance! Good Morning!" - Dipper greeted -
"Good Morning to you too, Lea. Taking a trip for your career?" - Lance replied -
"Yes, Lance. I have a new task to do in Miami. Where are you heading?" - Dipper asked -
"I'm just gonna take a few tourists to the Bahamas, Lea." - Lance replied -
"Ok, then. Take care on your flight!" - Dipper said -
"I will, Lea! Thanks and Goodbye!" - Lance replied as he applied full throttle on his engines -
Dipper watched Lance take the skies. After he flew, Dipper was next in line and she departs from Fort Lauderdale on route to Miami.
This is the end of Chapter 1. Lil Dipper started her first hours on her new career tasks and opportunities along with her friends on the anchorage stationed in Fort Lauderdale. Stay tuned for Chapter 2, everyone!
