Aero in Zero-G [PiE]

>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."
