>Las Vegas. >According to your pony friend here, it isn't much different from the city of Las Pegasus in Equestria in terms of attractions. >A wierd coincidence. >Although an earth pony, Aero had an unusual undying fascination with the sky and flying. >When she came to Earth, she had become instantly hooked on the many flying machines humanity had invented. >Air shows were the best thing ever and she had become the number one fan of the Blue Angels squadron. >Most girls were content with long walks on the beach or sitting and watching the sun set. >Aero's favorite pasttime was to sit outside the airport and watch the aircraft take off and land. >She thought it was the most relaxing thing ever, despite the rediculous noise of the jet engines. >At one point, she even made mention that it was her dream to be able to fly someday. >Although she probably meant she wanted to pilot a plane, it was that mention that brought the two of you to Vegas today. >And no, you were not about to take a vacation aboard a 767. >"Zero-G Corporation?" Aero said, reading off the name of the company from the building. "What's that?" she asked. "You'll see here in a minute," you tell her. >Entering the building, you are greeted by the secretary and, soon after, the instructor. >The instructor started going over the history of the company and the science behind what it does. >The moment he made mention of "flight", Aero went starry-eyed and appeared to totally ignore the rest of the brief. >You can tell because all she would do is excitedly nod her head and say "uh-huh" . >That'll just make the coming event that much more of a surprise. >With the brief over and your flight suits on, you make your way out to begin boarding the aircraft. >From Aero's point of view, this thing was absolutely massive. >Like a large house. >At the base of the steps, she suddenly got cold feet. >With a small push from you, she was able to get aboard the aircraft on her own willpower. >Aero's excitement rose again once she was actually inside the plane. >Now getting her to calm down enough to strap her in was another chore in itself. >All set to go; now we wait. >The bird begins to taxi. >Aero is getting really giddy as she watches the world outside the window move around her. >Resting at the end of the runway, the aircraft awaits final takeoff. >Aero's energy suddenly wears off and her attitude does a complete 180. >She's suddenly aware of how unnatural a giant metal can in the sky is. >This goes against nature and God and all things logical. >Aero starts to panic. >She wants to get off. >Too late now. >The engines roar as the plane speeds down runway and achieves liftoff. >Aero covers her ears with her hooves and squeezes her eyes shut as she screamed. >When the plane finally reaches cruising altitude, you are able to unstrap yourself and freely move about the cabin. >You have to pry Aero's hooves away from her ears so she can hear you. >Turning her face towards the window, you tell her to open her eyes. >Aero could see just how high she was and the vast expanse of the land around her stretched all the way to the horizon. >Once again, her energy spiked and she began galloping back and forth across the cabin to look out the windows. >She was having a grand old time. >"We are beginning the first descent of the flight," called the pilots over the intercom. >"What does that mean?" Aero asked you. >Her question was answered when the bird went into a steep dive. >Aero looked out the window and freaked out when she saw the ground getting closer and closer. >"We're gonna crash!" she cried. >When everyone started to lift off of the floor, she panicked even more. >"Anon! I'm falling! Help me!" >Aero squealed and flailed her legs around hysterically. >Her eyes were shut tight once more so she couldn't see the rest of you gently floating and tumbling around. >Once again, you had to calm her down and show her that everything was alright. >"W-What is this?" stammered Aero. "Didn't you say you wanted to fly someday?" you ask her. "Well I took it a step further so that you can literally fly!" >You kick off the wall and gently hovered across the cabin to demonstrate. >Still very apprehensive, Aero released her iron grip on the hand rails and allowed herself to float freely away from the wall. >"Ha. Aha! Anon, look! I'm flying! I'm really flying!" >Aero bucked off the bulkhead and soared straight into your chest. >You caught her and proceeded to flip and barrel roll her through the air. >"So this is what it's like to be a pegasus," commented Aero. >"Brace yourselves for ascension," called the pilots. Everyone either grabbed hold of the railings or lied flat on the deck. >Except for Aero who was still blissfully doing front flips in the air. "Aero! Hit the deck, quick!" >"Why?" she asked. >Again, her question was answered when the aircraft pitched up and she slammed into the floor, unable to move as the g-forces forced her into the floor. >"Ow!" "I tried to tell you," you say with a shrug. >The plane hit it's peak and tilted back down to Earth. >Aero began to lift off of the floor and had completely forgotten about the pain in her body from her earlier impact. >You continued to play with her in your weightless state; performing corkscrews and other maneuvers to try and out-do one another. >Several stages of the flight later, you had finally landed and disembarked the plane. >"That was a great time, Anon. I'd love to go again," said Aero with a smile. "Well you see, there's a problem with that," you start. >You're interupted when Aero suddenly turns over and vomits onto the flightline. >"Ugh... But first I would like to get something to eat," she said as she wiped the excess from her mouth onto her flightsuit sleeve. "Well I hope you like Ramen, because that flight just cost me $5,000 per passenger."
