They drove to the aircrafts.

"Here is my pilot's plane. I'm sure he won't mind if you use it for a little bit." Scrooge said.

"It's beautiful." Leela said.

She and Scrooge got on and she flew. 

Quite smoothly and steady and she threw in a few air show tricks.

When she landed, Scrooge said, "Leela, you got the job."

She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you, sir."

He smiled and hugged her back. 

"Very affectionate, aren't you, lass?" He said, with a chuckle.

She laughed as well.

Scrooge got off and standing there was Launchpad McQuack.

"Mr. McD. What happened?" He asked.

"Oh sorry, Launchpad. I needed to borrow your plane to test your new co pilot." Scrooge said.

"Oh no. Launchpad McQuack flies solo. I will not work with..." Before he could finish, he took one look at Leela getting off the plane and was instantly smitten. 

"The most beautiful girl in the world." He said, lovingly.

"Launchpad, meet Leela Tauras. Your new co pilot. And Leela, this is my pilot, Launchpad McQuack." Scrooge said.

Leela took one look at Launchpad and blushed. 

"Hello." She said, shyly.

"Hi." Launchpad said.

They shook hands. 

As soon as their hands touched, they felt a certain spark.

"I uh can't wait to start working with you, Miss Tauras." Launchpad said.

"Likewise, Mr. McQuack." Leela said.

"Aw come on. I hate formalities. Call me Launchpad. Or LP. Whatever you want to call me." He said.

"Alright, LP. Well, since you hate formalities, there is no need to call me Miss Tauras. Leela is just fine, but I'm alright with anything you call me." She said.

"Alright, Leela." He said.

"Right then. It's been a long day and tomorrow I need you to start tutoring the children." Scrooge said.

"Oh yes. Of course, Mr. McDuck. Nice meeting you, LP. I'll see you soon." Leela said.

"Uh sure, Leela. See ya around." Launchpad said.

Scrooge and Leela drove back to McDuck Manor and went to their rooms.

Leela took out a journal and started writing in it.

Dear diary,

I am so happy I got both jobs as a tutor and a pilot. Mr. McDuck is very kind enough to give me my own room in the mansion as well. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are such sweet boys. A bit rambunctious, but very fun to be around. Sweet little Webby is such an adorable little angel. But I think I really enjoyed meeting Launchpad McQuack. He's such a handsome man. Quite kindhearted as well. I look forward to working with him.

She closed her journal and went to bed.
