~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nobi went inside, and shouted out loud happily, "I already know what I wanted when I get big! I'll be a pilot in a Jumbo Jet!"

Doraemon, looked at him strangely, "What did you ate this morning and why are you doping?"

Nobi smiled, "A few moments ago, we've talked about what job we will be when we get big. Giant wants to be a singer, Suneo wants to be a designer, and for Shizuka..." This was the time Doraemon gape.

"...she wants to be an International Flight Stewardess!!!" 

"Oh..." Doraemon thought of it. "This will be scary because Nobi wants to be a pilot. Many lives will be lost... but.... dreaming is not bad."

So he smiled at Nobi, "You first need to practice and you need to finish your study first." Nobi complained, since he doesn't like studying and all, "I don't like studying. I just wanted to practice first. So..." he stood up and went infront of Doraemon, "... can you give me an airplane that's only for kids, and the one that I can use?" 

Doraemon took out a small airplane with only 3 wheels, "Three Wheeled Airplane!" It's only just a tiny airplane, only for 2 persons, and in the front seat, where pedals and the steer is. "This is the toy that kids use on the park on the 22nd Century." Nobi was surprised, "Only at the park!?!?"

But, you know how Doraemon's gadgets work, they went to the garden and sat on the seats, Nobi was the pilot. "You need to pedal so we can fly!" Doraemon said, at the back seat. Nobi started pedaling , the airplane started to move forward. "This airplane is really ugly." he said.

He didn't believe Doraemon when he saw the airplane, but when he saw that the airplane was slowly floating as he pedal, he began to believe. "Huh?!?" Nobi looked behind, the airplane was slowly flying through the sky. "It is really flying!" he shouted. Doraemon smiled.

He pass across houses, roads, across the town, "This is great! It is also comfortable, since I'm the one flying this airplane," Nobi smiled happily, flying across a house.

"Pedal faster, this will make us go faster." Doraemon said. Nobi started pedaling faster, the airplane was flying straight like a jet. But when he pedaled faster, the airplane began to zoom upwards, "WHOAAA!!!" Nobi shouted, Doraemon, again, smiled.

After a few minutes of practicing, Nobi had already gotten the hang of it. He started swirling around the sky, pass the clouds and pass the birds, "Even if you swirl around a few times at the air, it's just fine." Doraemon said, "Wow! This is great!" Nobi shouted.

Then, they saw their friends, walking on a road. Suneo looked up, and saw Nobi's tiny airplane, "What's that!?!?" he shouted. Shizuka and Giant looked up, and saw it. Nobi and Doraemon waved at them, far down below, "Hi!!!"

Then, after a few minutes of flying, Doraemon pointed out at him, "If you got tired from pedaling, this could also be a glider." Nobi stopped pedaling, the tiny airplane slowly went down, gliding the vacant lot. When they got down, Nobi happily shouted, "I can't wait 'til I get big! I wanted to be a pilot already!!!"

"What?!?!!" Doraemon gasped in surprise. 

: >

After a few buildings, Nobi and Doraemon created a tiny airport, with a Control Tower, Airport Lobby, Runway and Counter. There's a sign just outside the vacant lot, saying "NOBITA AIRLINES, 10 mins of flying, only 10 yen!"

"What\s this?" Giant asked as Shizuka and Suneo went to take a closer look. "Welcome to Nobita Airlines!" Doraemon and Nobi shouted.

Nobi explained everything to them, Shizuka first spoke, "Ah, it's a children\s game. It's supposed to be like a real airplane." Giant giggled, "It's cute!" Suneo laughed, "As always, you're basically a kindergarden kid."

Then, Giant spoke in a baby voice, "Oh-kay, le-t's pl-ay air-plane! Hahahaha!" Shizuka and Suneo laughed and giggled while Doraemon and Nobi felt ashamed. "I told you they're just going to laugh at you!" Doraemon shouted with anger.

"Everything is not that good at the start. If they saw the use of the airplane, then they'll have interests riding it." Nobi said.

~_+

Shizuka went into the vacant lot, holding a cage and a net. "I lost my canary bird." Doraemon and Nobi was very surprised when they heard what she said. "Oh, really? So you wanted to ride the airplane to catch it?"

Nobi pushed Shizuka to the pipes, "Welcome to Nobita Airlines! Please enjoy your flight!" Doraemon smiled, "Welcome!"

Nobi went to the front seat of the 3-wheeled airplane while Doraemon went to the control tower, "Is this gonna fly?" Shizuka asked. "Of course, hop in!" Nobi said happily.

He started pedaling, the airplane slowly starting to move, at the steering wheel infront of Nobi, was a small TV, showing Doraemon, "Control Tower, this is Nobita Airlines' Flight 1, reeady for take off."

"Nobita Airlines' Flight 1, this is Control Tower, you are cleared for take off!" Doraemon smiled. The airplane was slowly flying through the vacant lot, then flew pass the road. Doraemon waved as they flew pass the runway, "It's great, right? It looks like i'm a real pilot?"

"Yeah, yeah. Right now, we need to fetch my bird!" Shizuka complained. "Where did it flew?" he asked. "The hill behind the school." she answered.

Back at the control tower, Nobi spoke, "Flight 1 approaching the mountain." Doraemon spoke,"Flight 1, fine weather is expected in that area."

As they fly pass the hill, Shizuka saw his bird perching the biggest tree, "There it is!" Nobi pedaled faster, "Faster! I'm gonna catch it!" Shizuka shouted, standing from her seat as the plane was at full speed. "Shizuka, get ready!" Nobi shouted. "Nobi! FASTER!!!"

Nobi was pedaling the fastest as he can, while Shizuka tried to reach as she can, "Almost... THERE!!"

Then, poof! The bird was caught, "Got'cha!" Shizuka shouted, Nobi panted and panted all over again,"Whew, it's hard to be a pilot."

-_+

They went back to the vacant lot, so they flew pass houses. "This airplane is cool!" Shizuka shouted, "I'm glad you had interests in this airplane."

As they pass Suneo's house, Suneo saw the airplane, and gasped, "Is that real?" He quickly went downstairs, and outside, going to the vacant lot.

Back at the vacant lot, Nobi was drinking, "That was exciting! Only it gets tired." Doraemon showed how much he got, "Well, at least you got 20 minutes! That's 20 yen!"

That's when Suneo walked pass the vacant lot, "Look! A passenger!" Nobi shouted. "He's saying so many things, but I know he wanted to ride the airplane." 

But, instead of saying something, he just... passed, Nobi and Doraemon was confused, "He just passed?" they both asked.
