(Later that evening)

Honey was preparing to settle down for the night. She changed into her pajamas and put her pearls into her jewelry box, it was the only jewelry she owned besides her earrings. She climbed into bed and turned on her bedside lamp, looking over the flight manual for the x wing fighter rancis gave to her

"You still reading that manual?" Stinger asked

"I wanna be the best so I gotta study" said Honey

"Honey you know zeke will just give you those things at a later date, you don't have to learn to fly" said Buzz

"I do want to learn to fly, I've had this passion since I was a little girl all those years ago. Plus with a pilots license I can expand my business. And I really want that necklace, always looks so pretty on Lucy and some of her classmates. Might even wear it full time like she does" said Honey

"Now you're sounding like Lucy" said Bumble

"I've never owned jewelry before coming here and I like what zeke gives me. I want my pilots license and I want that necklace and bracelet, maybe I can't be prettier than Lucy but I can be close" Honey snapped

Her bees flew back a little startled hearing that.

"Sorry" said Honey "but in all seriousness I don't just want them given to me, I want to earn them. I want to earn my pilots license no matter how long it takes, only then will I feel I've earned my reward from zeke"

"We understand. Just don't stay up too late if you're serious about this" said Bumble

Her bees flew to their beds on honeys dresser and nestled themselves under their blankets.

"Jewelry or not, we still think you're as beautiful as ever" said Bumble

"It's not just about the jewelry, it's about fulfilling a passion I've had since I was younger" said Honey "I want this more than anything. And sorry for snapping at you guys like that, don't know what came over me"

"Don't turn into Lucy on us" said Bumble

"Oh I would never do that. Will you guys be ok here by yourselves tomorrow?"

"We'll be fine, you go do your training" said Buzz

"I'll bring back some food for dinner. I know with rancis he'll be fair with me" said Honey

"Whatever you say. Goodnight honey" said Stinger

"Goodnight guys"

Honey then went back to reading her manual, making sure she knew everything rancis might ask her.

(The next morning)

Rancis was arriving at his airfield with a big smile on his face. It had been ages since he taught anyone to fly. He went to a building where his office and equipment was held and saw a tie fighter pilot standing outside the door. The pilot stood at attention seeing him.

"Cadet Honey Potts reporting for duty"

"Honey, is that you? Where'd you get that uniform?" Rancis asked

Honey removed her helmet to speak to rancis.

"I was a member of the imperial navy for a week, I didn't fit in. I spent 20 minutes in a tie fighter" said Honey

"You flew a tie fighter? You're braver than I thought. I personally don't fly the tie line of starfighters, pretty dangerous. I gotta say I'm really glad you wanted to learn from me, I don't really have a lot to do all day around here besides fly" said Rancis

"Nobody else works here or comes for lessons?" Honey asked

"Imperials took all my business. They promise adventure and excitement in another game to the npc's. It's lonely doing my job but I have a love of flying thanks to my wife. It's nice you have a flight suit, tie suits are good suits, trained my kids in tie suits. Just let me change and we'll get you aboard a trainer, you up for a visit to my daughters kingdom for breakfast?" Rancis asked

"It'd be an honor your majesty" said Honey

Honey was given a seat in Rancis' office while he went to change. She looked at pictures he had on his wall, plenty of his family, and moments of his kids passing their flight training. She hoped to one day have a family, hopefully her relationship with zeke worked out. Til then she planned to get some experience with kids at the local orphanage after she completed her training.

Rancis came out minutes later in a pilots uniform like honeys, and he led her to an x wing fighter trainer, which had all the functions of a normal x wing but had 2 cockpit seats, 1 for the instructor and 1 for the trainee. The 2 strapped themselves in and prepared for takeoff.

"Your majesty-

"You can just call me Rancis you know"

"Sorry, force of habit. Rancis, would it be ok if I took the controls for takeoff? I know how to get to lucys kingdom, I do have a little flight experience. And I did read the manual thoroughly" said Honey

"Of course, and I'll be in control of the master controls in case you mess up. Go on miss potts, surprise me" said Rancis

Both of them put their helmets on and Honey began the takeoff. She slowly lifted the ship off the ground and began flying up towards the sky. For some reason, honey was taking the ship towards Kaon.

"What are you doing? We can't fly that way, the seekers-

"I want to test something. I just want to wish some friends a good morning" said Honey

Soon enough, 3 fighter jets flew around the trainer.

"Attention, you are entering restricted Decepticon airspace. Turn around immediately or we will-

"Morning Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker"

"Oh hey honey, what's going on?" Skywarp asked

"I'm learning to fly" said Honey

"Really? Congrats" said Thundercracker

"Come back when you get your license, we can have a race" said Starscream

"Of course, but only if you let king rancis and his family have rights to fly over the city" said Honey

"Bring your case to lord Megatron, that's up to him to decide" said Starscream

The 3 seekers turned away and let Honey and rancis go.

"It's nice having villains for friends. Never thought I'd say that" said Honey

Honey took a small lap over the city before making the trip to lucys kingdom. Upon reaching outer space, Rancis took control, knowing honey wanted to look at her surroundings. She had a big smile on her face, she felt so happy being in outer space, with the planet below her. Lucys castle was big and white, and Rancis told her she got the inspiration from riding space mountain on their vacation to Disney.

Several ships surrounded the station which Rancis pointed out. The biggest one was a Lucrehulk which honey was already familiar with, these would hold supplies and protect against larger threats as well as give repairs to droids. Lucys command ships were known as Providence Class Dreadnoughts, and her smaller cruisers were known as Muunificent class frigates, which would patrol the kingdom and protect the planetary colonies.

Rancis let Lucy know he was arriving and she let him land in the main hangar bay. Upon landing, Honey noticed a large amount of droids, small and big. They all had their weapons pointed at her but not Rancis. They didn't know her yet, but she was no less nervous. Up high in the hangar was a large sign for all new arrivals.

'Welcome to Lucy 1, the main command center and castle for Queen Lucys galactic empire. This kingdom was made possible by a generous donation from the Trade Federation, Intergalactic Banking Clan, and the confederacy of independent systems. Enjoy your visit and don't upset the queen'

Honey felt nervous seeing that last sentence, but shook the thought away. She was led down several hallways, past work stations and giant cannons and laser batteries. She and Rancis were led into a large dining room with a nice view out into space. The table had 3 chairs and 3 sets of plates set up. Lucys royal crest was emblazoned over the table as well as the plates, Lucy went all out in decorating. The dining room was really nice. Honey looked out into space and smiled

"Beautiful isn't it?"

Lucy had arrived into the dining room, wearing her pajamas, my little pony slippers, and her fluffy white and purple bathrobe. She gave her dad a hug before sitting down. Several droid chefs wheeled in plates of food and set them on the table.

"I must say Lucy, you did a nice job with the decorating" said Honey

"Why're you're still standing, have a seat, droids, make her comfortable. Treat her like me"

"Roger roger"

Honey was grabbed by lucys droids and forced into a seat. They removed her boots and began massaging her feet, hard. They also tore off her armor, leaving her only in her flight jumpsuit. The droids had a strong grip, but it also felt relaxing.

"Wow, this feels so good" said Honey with a big smile

"I know. Now dig in everyone. Daddy you have your business, and I have mine" said Lucy

A droid walked up to Lucy with some papers.

"Your majesty, the my little ponies are settling down perfectly, but they want independence"

"Request denied, next issue" said Lucy with a mouthful of eggs

While Lucy dealt with her issues, Rancis explained how the training would go

"Your training will take as long as you make it. We'll go over simple moves, controls, fly some laps, learn some combat, and your final test will be a combat test in another game. You up to the challenge?" Rancis asked

"Absolutely" said Honey "oh a little to the left, I keep my stress near my shoulders"

"Roger roger"

"Terrific. Enjoy your breakfast miss potts" said Rancis "I'll have you with a license in no time"
