Sofie quickly slid into the pilot seat and buckled herself up carefully, almost giggling in excitement when she heard the satisfying click.  She shook her head, trying to snap out of her weirdly hyper mood and watched as Ed took the throttle. She almost smiled at his childish giddiness as he bounced in his seat when the Captain give him orders. 

She was finally here, right exactly where she wanted to be. And hell, she was going to do the best she could.  Sofie smiled and ran a finger over the dashboard in front of her.

WHAM

Her back hit the chair and Sofie felt the breath being knocked out of her.
"Ed!" Her voice came out as more of a gasp then anything and she cleared her throat uncomfortably. By then the Captain had already reprimanded Ed and suggested that she take control.
[i]"Tunnel us to the starbase at Horus II. Know how to do it?"[/i]
Sofie smirked and immediately tried to cover it up.  Of course she knew how to steer a ship, her years poring over books should've paid off already.

Sofie placed a hand on the throttle quickly, just about touching Ed's hand. She drew her fingers away quickly before placing them back on the throttle and leaning towards the front, she inched the throttle forward gently.  The Raving Maiden soared into the sky, passing wisps of cloud against the clean bright blue sky as it did and Sofie let herself relax her shoulders, leaning back in her seat she watched the view go by. 

It was so pretty up here, nothing like the ugliness Sofie knew was happening below her.  Here she was insignificant with no roles to play, no feelings to assume, no pretending to do.  She was free.
