We were currently on Rebecca's ship, the Aqua Wing, which is very cute. I got very lucky meeting Rebecca, Shiki, and Happy. Honestly, getting close with them was easy. I plan on riding with them to Norma to meet this, Professor Weisz. Then, taking one of his ships and ditching them. I kinda feel bad but I finally have a chance to live a life without worrying about a target on my back. I need a functional ship that can take me to a different cosmos so I know I'm safe. I'm not going to take the Aqua Wing since even Rebecca said it won't be able to handle a trip like that, plus it would be too mean to steal her ship, Rebecca's way too nice for that.

"This is usually the ship's guest room, but it's all yours now." Rebecca told Shiki.

"You mean we're not sleeping in the same room together?" He asked her.

"Are you out of your mind?! Of course not!" She shouted at him. "(Y/N)," she calmly turned to me, "you can sleep with me in my room until we get our new ship." "Okay, cool." I nod.

"So, if we're both here, then who's driving the ship right now?" Shiki asked.

"The Aqua Wing can fly without a pilot." Happy answered him.

"Hey! Can I try taking it out for a spin or something?"

"You wanna fly it?" She looked at him quizzically.

"Yeah, why not?"

"Wait, have you even piloted a spacecraft before?"

"Nope. Note even once." Shiki stated. "At least he's honest." Happy said.

"Well, if you've never really flown a ship before, I guess you could just hold the control stick."

"Are you sure about this, Rebecca?" I ask her skeptically.

"Yeah, it should be fine. Plus, we could make a video about it!" Rebecca and Happy clap together.

"'Newb tries flying a spaceship' and it's not clickbait!"

"Oh my gosh, it's perfect!" Rebecca smiled at her best friend.

"I think I'm starting to understand why no one likes your videos." Shiki said.

🤎

"Are you sure you don't wanna be in our video, (Y/N)?" Happy asked me.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I answer him from my seat at the table. Even though Rebecca's channel doesn't get much views, staying off grid is the safe choice for me given my circumstance.

"You know, you're gonna have to appear at some point, (Y/N). We are going to be traveling together, after all." Rebecca smiled.

I chuckle to myself at her words. The sooner we get to Norma, the sooner I can leave. "Camera shy." I simply say and turn my attention back to my phone.

"Is that the planet Norma?" Shiki asked from his seat as he steered.

"That's the one." Happy answered him. I look up from my phone to see the brown planet.

"Nice. Now hop up so I can fly us in."

"What do you mean? I just started. And all I got to do the whole time is hold the control stick. I bet you I can land it if you let me try." Shiki defended.

"I'll have you know, landing a spaceship takes a lot more than sitting in a chair and holding a control stick!"

"I know that!" "Then let's switch!"

"'Cocky newb tries landing a spaceship for the first time in his life.'" Happy suggested another content idea.

"That'll be an awesome video!" Rebecca smiled at the thought and Happy giggled.
