Nena and Sara aka Team VA

[pink_is_best]

She'd flown in races before, of course. Nothing big, just the occasional small one now and then during the months she and Sara had spent between ships. Had done quite well in them too, as was to be expected of someone who had been flying as long as she had. It was a quick and fairly easy way to make money, so why not? This kind of contest, however... well, it was definitely new. And it had sounded like fun, with a challenge that could only be described as 'unique'. A rare opportunity, Nena was all for trying it out! And Sara was joining her, which meant her fun would be doubled!

Nena readjusted her goggles and gloves, waiting patiently for the signal to take off. Small, sleek and dark maroon, her Liang wasn't flashy like some of the other planes, but it was quick and she knew it well. It also had two seats, making it perfect for the challenge ahead. She... she believed in it, if she was going to be perfectly honest.

No, not just in her plane. In her partner, and in herself as well. They could win this.

"Ayaka? Let's do our absolute best!" The pilot shouted over the roar of the plane's engine, tearing down the runway and taking to the skies at the signal for liftoff.

And so we make more voice actor jokes than Lucky*Star?

Nena's plane also had the advantage of not being quite as... distinctive as Sara's plane. While Ram-Dass was fast, it was also obnoxiously pink, and anyone could point it out as hers. And, if Nena was using a new alias, it was common sense for Sara to use a new one too.

"All right." The blonde nodded, looking around as quickly as she could. She'd left Emily in the ship because she'd otherwise be recognized as Sara Cruz, not Ayako Kawasumi, but she had enough confidence in Nena to win even without her.

Naturally

…Oh wait, her fake name was Ayako, wasn’t it? This alias thing was harder than it looked. Nena hoped nobody had overheard her, which was luckily unlikely given the overwhelming noise in the surrounding area.

Okay, it looked like a lot of flowers were falling in an area a little east from their current position. Intending to head there, the pilot began to turn the plane.

“Have you got the basket ready?” It was probably best if she held off on using any names for the moment.

Although not as many as Kaempfer... though that show was terrible.

Sara nodded. "It's here." She held it out to the side. "Just fly into the heaviest concentration, and I'll get as many as I can."

I have never heard of that show and it seems that is a good thing.

[pink_is_best]

"Got it!" And Nena did just that.

...Wow, flying in the middle of flowers falling from the sky was weird. Like... flying through a painting, or something. But the pilot supposed she should have expected that.

It's so bad. XD It amused me at points, but it's still awful.

Sara scooped up as many as she could, as quickly as she could. This wasn't thet kind of exercise she was used to, but she seemed to be doing all right. All right wasn't good enough -- they had to win. She leaned further over and caught another clump, pulling herself back into position before she fell out of the seat.
