Chapter 2
9 days later, Sonya got another message. It interupted Sonya while she was recording her teammates practice. They all heard the audible ding and ran to greet him.
"Enri, sup?" Sonya smiled at her friend.
"You guys ready?"
"You bet!" Sam grinned.
"Planes on its way."
"Geez, time sure files when you're having fun. How long have we got?" Sonya asked.
"Few hours. You've plenty of time." He reassured her.
"We'll see you in a few then." Sonya grinned, eager to see him again.
"I'll be waiting." He replied as the transmission ended. Sonya shut down the laptop and placed it in its case.
"Okay guys, let's get everything in the car." Everyone scrambled to assemble their bags. "Make sure you have everything you need! Your blading equipment, personal items, and that stuff." She called after them. An hour later, the group were passing through the airport terminal. Sonya's eyes popped open when she spotted a human figure standing next to the private plane. Noticing she had seen him, he waved.
"Enrique!" She squealed, running toward him and embracing him in a hug. The rest of the Skyriders followed after her.
"Hey. Thought I'd suprise you and meet you here." He laughed.
Sonya put her hands on her hips. "Uh-huh. You just wanted to meet the rest of the team before the guys did." She grinned.
"Actually, the rest of the guys are here, see for yourself." Enrique replied.
Sonya looked back at her team. They were all staring at the private jet that was a sleek dark bronze color with Magestics scrawled across the side in a noble red. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get on the plane!" Sonya poked Sasha, Sasha poked Sam, Sam popped the Twins, and the twins pinched Talis. Blinking, they all looked back at her. "Get on the plane guys, we've got somewhere to go. You can gawk at it later!" Grinning like idiots, the Skyriders ran aboard. Sonya and Enrique followed them inside. The inside was as lavish as the outside. It looked more like a penthouse than a plane with couches, chairs, tables, two playstations and an xbox in the walls. Jhonny and Oliver were playing on one playstation and Robert was reading Shakespere. The Twins ran over to Jhonny and Oliver and introduced themselves. Cheerful conversation ensued.
"Looks like the twins are set." Sonya grinned to Enrique as the quartet started a four-player game.
"Greetings Sonya. Who are your teammates?" Robert looked up from his book.
"Hey Robert. The ones playing with Jhonny and Oliver are the Twins, Mitch and Mark. This is my friend Sasha, my other friend Samantha, and her brother Talis." Sonya pointed to each of her friends in turn. "Guys, these are the rest of the Majestics, Jhonny and Oliver with the Twins, and Robbie the book worm." Robert glared at her for the nickname and she just grinned back at him. She lightly punched him in the arm. "Lighten up Robert. You know I'm joking." He managed a small smile.
"That's Sam to you." Sam told him, plopping down in a chair near a window and putting her earphones in her ears. 'Let's Start a Riot' by Three Days Grace filled the air around her.
"Is that Three Days Grace I hear?" Jhonny asked.
"Yup. 'Let's Start a Riot', one of Sam's favorite songs." Mitch replied. Conversation between Jhonny and Mitch ensued to types of music. Oliver and Mark quickly joined in.
"How they can talk and play at the same time, I'll never know." Sonya mused as she followed Enrique to the cockpit at his signal. Seeing him sit in the pilot's seat, her eyes widened. "You have a pilot's license?" She asked, taking the co-pilots' chair. He just grinned and set the plane into motion. Sonya sat back and closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of the plane as it lifted into the air.
"I can't wait until we can afford our own private jet." Sonya told him once the plane had leveled out.
"Can you fly one?" He asked.
Sonya shook her head. "Not yet. But once we get our own jet, I'm gonna learn." She told him.
"How about you start learning?"
"Right now?" She stared at him, wide eyed.
"Right now." He replied, nodding. Sonya stared at the control panel. So many dials and levers!
"I-I guess so." She stammered out, feeling uneasy.
"Relax." He told her. "The first lesson will be for you to get a feel of the plane's movement. Put your hands on the throttle and close your eyes, concentrating on the movement."
"Don't I need to see to steer?" She asked.
"For the first few lessons, not with me. It's on autopilot so all you have to do is just close your eyes and concentrate. Feel the movement of the plane beneath you." He told her gently. Placing her trust in him, she put her hands on the throttle in front of her and closed her eyes. She concentrated on the rumble of the engine. She felt the throttle in her hands, quivering to the left or right to adjust for the winds gilding over the wings. She felt the the tail and wing rudders comply. The more she concentrated on the plane, the more confidence she gained.
"I feel like I'm almost one with it." She told him softly, grinning.
"You're a natural." Enrique replied. In enjoying the feel of flying, she never noticed when he reached over and flipped off the autopilot. When he could see the landing strip, he flicked it back on. "Enjoying yourself?"
"Immensly." She replied.
"Good, 'cause I need to land us now." He grinned. She opened her eyes and watched him as he went through the landing procedures. The jet gently touched down on the strip. When she got up to join up with the rest of her team, Enrique grabbed her arm. "You wanna know something?"
"Like what?"
"You were flying without the help of the autopilot for a while."
"What?!" She stared at him, her eyes like saucers. "When'd you switch it off?" She asked.
"Remember when I told you you were a natural?"
"Yeah."
"That's when."
"How long did I fly it without the autopilot?"
"A good half hour, by my guess."
"I flew for half an hour?" She asked, plopping down in the chair.
"Yup, and with your eyes closed I might add."
She gazed up at him. "Can you do that?"
"Nope." He held a hand out to her. "Would you like to tell our teammates you flew us?"
She allowed him to help her up. "Not yet, let me get past the shock and suprise first."
He chuckled. "Alright. Now com'on, before everyone wonders what happened to us."
Kit: Hope you guys enjoyed! Chapter 3 goes online tomorrow. Or should be.
Sora: As always, we own nothing except the Skyriders and their bitbeasts.
Kit: Thanks Sora.
Sora: Uh-huh. Just don't make a habit out of it.
