Free to fly again?
Haven't heard anything from Aikka in a while. It's nice having the place to myself again, but I kinda miss the company. I don't have royal alien house guests often, especially when they're having the same 'problems' as me.
So today Stan and Koji called me. They figured out that 'Ericka' is really 'Rick', but they're still treating me the same as before. Not sure if I should be pleased or disturbed by this, but I'm gonna work it as long as I can.
Anyway, they wanted to show me a vintage star-racer they're restoring for a show. When I saw it I started feeling really nostalgic. As they were bragging about how proud they were of this or that feature, I asked them if I could see the cockpit and they said yes. Then Miguel called them over to help with something and they left.
For a while I just sat in the pilot's chair, daydreaming that it was three years ago and I was flying my old ship. Then I started thinking ... that doctor on Alwas said I should never fly again, but that was when I was still a man. What if this new body of mine was different? What if I could fly again as a woman?
I didn't tell any of this to Stan and Koji, and I already know what Don would say about it. Still, it's been on my mind ever since.
