>Kelli loved seeing her mechanic, some said she would take risks just to see the Shop.
"You are back already."
>The grease stained girl looked up from her paper.
>"Anan it's not like that"
>Her metal face turns bright red.
>"Girls aren't supposed to like girls."
>She smiles mater of factually.
"So you just get hurt all the time because you are a clutz"
>Laughing she grabs her wrench.
"So what did you break today"
>"My wing"
>Kelli mummers as she moves it whimpering in pain.
>"I think I broke it on that last exercise."
"Well that happens when you try to show off"
>She looks at the wing carefully.
"How close were you to the ground."
>She asks pulling a pebble out from a crevice in her wing.
"You are supposed to fly, not grate the roads"
>"Anan that isn't fair..."
>She mutters and then coos as Anan starts working on here rotor.
"Kelli do you stuff things into your engine just to make my life harder."
>Pulling out more vines and grass.
>"I am sorry Anan"
>Sighing she pulls out more weeds.
"One of these days I will not be here to fix you"
 
>The months and years continued to pass on.
>"Anan"
>She peered into the garage, now empty.
>"Anan are you here"
>Anan came out, her body aged a bit now with a young girl beside her.
"Finally staying safe I see. It must be three years now"
>Kelli looks down at her mechanic.
>"What happened, teaching another mechanic... thinking I need extra help."
"Kelli"
>She looked up smiling.
"Kelli this is my daughter."
>"Daughter"
>Kelli asks confused,
>"But how, you never leave the shop"
>Anan laughs,
"Of course I do, I leave every night... Did you think I just stood here night after night"
>Kelli blushes thinking of how stupid that sounded now.
"Besides if I never left my boyfriend wouldn't be happy"
>A tear falls from kelli's eye.
>"But I thought... I just thought"
>Anan looks up, a little bit surprised.
"Kelli you are a Plane, a pony plane... I like you but I could never"
>She hears Kelli's hooves leaving the building.
>"Pretty silly"
>Muttering as she steps outside, alone for the first time in her life.
 
>She left her body to take the damage, Kelli avoided Anan at any cost.
>The once new 11-76 looked decades older, her body rigged out up with anything she could find to keep her flying.
>"Anan I hate you"
>She cries in her bunker unaware of her little guest.
"Miss why are you crying"
>Little Ani popped out from under a bail of straw.
"You will rust up"
>"What... oh you"
>Kelli looks down at the little girl.
>"Why don't you go to your mommy"
>She shakes her head,
"Not until I fix you up"
>She grabs her wrench and starts to climb up onto Kelli.
"Momma always said you loved to get fixed up"
>She pulls out a wedge of clomped up duct tape.
"Kelli why did you stop showing up."
>She strained as she removed a old rusted bolt.
>"Stop it"
>Trying to protest against her new mechanic she is unable to stop her.
>"Ouch do you even know what"
>Moaning she feels her wing like it had felt off the assembly line .
"You shouldn't have even been able to steer"
>Ani manually moves the router.
"My mom could have fixed this a long time ago"
>Kelli turns red from anger.
>"I would rather rust then see her again"
"Will you at least let me fix you then, I will be out of jr high soon enough... I need to learn how to fix up old clunkers"
>She pats Kelli on the head.
"I won't tell my mom if you don't want me too"
 
>Finally fixed up Kelli moves her parts around feeling the age falling off of her.
>"Ani you did ok"
>Looking down at the girl for a minute she swore she saw Anan
"Well don't let yourself get in such bad shape from now on"
>She tightens a last bolt tighter then it should to get her attention.
"How do you think everyone would feel if you broke down."
 
>Kelli accepts Ani as her new mechanic, sneaking out to pick her up after school for the short flight home.
>Ani sneaks Kelli to the airshow, little did anyone know a 15 year old was flying the 11-76.
>"You seem to be pretty good at flying. Not as good as me"
>Ani laughs
"Well better then you were when you didn't let me fix you"
>Gently laughing in the field Ani hesitates letting go of the throttal.
"You don't think my mom was... Oh nevermind"
>She giggles finally getting out to watch the stars come out with Kelli
>As the moon sets high in the sky Kelli looks down to find little Ani currled up on her wing asleep.
