<div align="center"><strong>~ Mae Little aka "MeiMei"- in the cockpit with Vincent - en route to Persephone ~</strong></div><br/><br/>Mae shook with a soft giggle as she watched the focus of her crush and co-pilot entertain her with his comical behaviour and enthusiastic show of his excellent safety skills. His announcement that he was now prepared for the mind numbing speed to be upgraded to that of a tingling feeling, much like when your leg falls asleep, had her giggle increase to that of a funny little snort.  The silly sound took her by surprise, causing yet another batch of giggles that was only broken by the gruff warning voice of Hayes crackling over the ships intercom.<br/><br/><br/><em>“Y'all better make it a square nineteen an' not a smidgen more y'hear.”</em><br/><br/><br/>MeiMei was not one to take orders from most people, other than those spoken from the Captain and Sasha, but she wasn't stupid. She knew Hayes understood that engine far better than anyone else and if she said that was all the boat had to give then that was all the boat had to give.  However, that being said, there was a difference between understanding and accepting gracefully and therefore the inevitable reply was doomed to trip from her lips in what was meant with great admiration for the ships mechanic.<br/><br/><br/>“Ai ya! That's fantastic! If my calculations are correct..." pausing purely for dramatic effect “…and do I think that they are! I get to give this boat a good kick in the pants increasing speed 39 percent!” The excitement dripped sarcastically from her lips with each word spoken into the intercom.  Unable to resist the young pilot added “Gao Guhn! We should be sure to hit Persephone atmo in about twenty or thirty millennia. I reckon I had better find me a Kai Tze before we ship off again, I've a powerful need for my nethers to be twixin.”<br/><br/><br/>Smirking as she sat back in her seat and beamed a smile over to Vincent, Mae mouthed a silent count down as she touched the pad of each finger waiting for the inevitable explosion from the engines room. The only thing that was a tossup was who would be the one to holler at her louder, Hayes or Griff.  Either way, she was sure to enjoy the fireworks. They were in a boring situation, floating on the verse like an old man shuffling across the sky with his pants wrapped around his ankles. If they didn't make a move soon she was sure to expire in her chair having never given Vincent a proper kiss, one that would cause his toes to curl and mark his soul with her touch, ruining him for all other women. Okay, so she had plotted out the kiss in her overactive imagination a time or two, is that such a crime?<br/><br/><br/>Her hands now gripping the controls, Mae slowly pushed the throttle forward, bringing the speed higher, keeping alert and prepared should the worse happen requiring in a drastic reduction in speed, if that was even possible.  She didn't want to be stuck floating out in space, the tow service sucked out in the black. Her cheeky smile brightened with the amusement of her private and inner joke before turning a mischievous smile towards Vincent. "Your lucky boxers? Really?  You are too good to me! Do you know how long I've been waiting to get into your boxers?”<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>~~~~~~~~~~~</strong></div><br/><em>Awesome or extraordinarily clever: Gao Guhn<br/>Male companion or boyfriend: Kai Tze</em>
