AN: This chapters a tad bit longer, hope you like it.
Disclaimer: Squaresoft offered me FFVII after much torture, but I don't have FFVIII yet, I'll keep working on it! Maybe soon I'll own it and then no one on Fanfiction.net will have to write disclaimers anymore because it will be ours! But at the moment, I still don't own it.
After my plans have been laid bare, here is the fourth chapter! :)
Chapter 4: Pilot or Opera singer?
~*~Selphie's POV~*~
I woke with a jolt and removed the sensor pad from my hand, adjusting the chair as I flicked to manual flight. I flicked the com switch and settled the ear and mic piece around my head.
"Will everyone please come back to the cockpit, we are closing in on Esthar, for those of you that can not see out a window and I would like everyone in the cockpit for landing." I turned the com off and guided the Ragnarok around in a circle, searching for the airstation. I wanted to land in the city, not outside it and have to trek through it.
"There!" Rinoa's voice made me turn my head, following her finger. Sure enough, there was the airstation. Everyone was settled in the cockpit and I shot a look at Rinoa.
"All here?"
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 .... there's nine." I shot a look back and the Ragnarok shuddered from the quick jerk on the controls. The com switch was flicked back on and I drew in a deep breath and let a scream out. It echoed and re-echoed through the ship, sending a vibration through it.
"The person that is not in the cockpit will be responsible for me screaming until they arrive. I will continue to scream, even if it means that the ship runs out of fuel and crashes down into Esthar, most likely killing all of us." I drew in another deep breath.
"Rin, watch the lift, as soon as they come up, flick that com switch there." I looked to her and she nodded. I drew in one of the deepest breaths I'd ever taken and screamed again, the sound going on and on as I felt the air slowly escaping from my lungs. I drew in another breath and started again, until Rinoa flicked the com switch. I stopped and shot a look at her.
"Who was it?"
"Seifer." She spoke softly as I lowered the ship down and the landing gear emerged from the ships sleek underbelly. We touched and held. I shut the engines off and lowered the ramp.
"Bags are in the loading bay, I will see you all at the hotel."
"You should come now." Squall's voice was soft and I shook my head.
"I have to check the ship over and tell the technicians what needs to be done to it. I'll be at the hotel as quickly as possible, you could brief me separately."
"I guess we'll have to, move out!" Squall lifted Rinoa to her feet as he spoke.
"I may as well stay with my partner, no sense giving the same instructions twice."
"Don't do anything to annoy her." Rinoa spoke in a soft voice as they left. I watched them walk away from the ship and started the engines again, checking their rotation speed and the wear on them. I ran a quick diagnostic test on the ship and found several things lacking. The technicians had boarded and I turned to face them as they entered the cockpit.
"It needs servicing, the engines checked and cleaned and the landing gear checked over and oiled." I walked to the lift and descended, Seifer following me. I scooped up my bag, slung it on my back and slid my other arm through the strap so it settled in the middle of my back.
"You want me to take that?"
"I'm capable of carrying it." I spoke before turning a cartwheel to lower my energy level.
AN: Please review or I will jump through your monitor and flatten you like I did with the Squaresoft owners! So REVIEW!
