Chapter 3: Troublesome beginnings.

~*~Selphie's POV~*~

"You're twenty minutes late and everyone's waiting for you." I snatched his bag from him, and stormed into the Ragnarok. I packed it into place, sent him to the conference room and then headed up to the cockpit.

"Squall, Rin?" I spoke hesitantly and stood with my back to them.

"What is it Selphie?"

"Everyone's here, shall I bring them up and take off?"

"Of course." I ordered them up quickly and moved to take the pilots seat. One of them shoved me in the back and I flew forward, only just catching myself on the back of the seat. I hit my head against the seat and felt the world spin as sparks shot across my vision. I plopped down into the seat and leant forward to raise the ramp and engage the engines. They started up after three attempts and I shot a look at Squall.

"Did you have this thing serviced?"

"We have to service it?" Was his unhelpful reply. I groaned and raised it from the ground, being careful not to hit anything. It responded to my tiniest alteration and I was ready to set autopilot.

"Where are we going?"

"Head for Esthar, we have rooms in the hotel. Once there, we will meet and I will discuss the mission then. President Laguna Loire wants to use the Ragnarok for his own uses while we are on this mission. I have agreed to let him use it and a few of his men are trained to fly it. The partners that have been set will not alter at all, no request will be accepted, so don't bother." Squall's voice addressed all of them as I set autopilot.

"We've got a while, so, if you're gonna be loud, please leave the cockpit. I have a massive headache and I plan to sleep." I spoke softly, knowing my voice was echoing around the room as I drew my legs up and altered the back of the chair so I could curl up in it. Most of the people left the cockpit and I felt my eyes close. I knew the autopilot would wake me when we got within ten kilometres of Esthar.
