Uh-

[CAN he fly? The augment is telling him the info, but its not like he's ever done it]

I can try? But maybe you should fly! I can hang on the back! It's fine!

Are you sure, because if I fall out I can fight the bear. [The trees would break his fall!]

But if you want to ride, hang on real tight. With your arms and your legs. And I'll go slow, but we'll get away pretty soon anyway.

[he nods very vehemently]

Yeah, I'm sure. You'd get hurt if you fell, I wouldn't. And if I crashed- well-

[Yeah. Bad news for both. Either way, he's shifting to grab onto the back to hang on. Fortunately, he feels pretty comfortable being up this high- even if the air was grossly polluted.]

Okay, got it. I'll hang on tight.

All right. Hang on!

[And with a whoosh, the shuttle gains some altitude and they're clear of the trees. Finn drives slow enough that's Sora's not in any actual danger of falling out, but it's at enough of a clip to get them well clear of the bear and flying back toward town in no time. he shouts over his shoulder so Sora can hear him over the wind.]

How'd you make it mad, anyway? or is that just what they're like?

[Sora hangs on tight! Which man this actually? Feels pretty cool. It's like he's flying- well, he is flying, just with a help of a ship. And more importantly, he's getting away from that bear] Whoa!

[And oh, Finn's talking to him]

Uh- I dunno, I've never met a bear before! [The only reason he knew the name was because the other animals were screaming it] But I think it got mad that I bumped into it while it was sleeping.

[It'd be even better with seatbelts! Not that he's complaining.]

Yeah, that'd make anyone mad. Too bad I haven't seen any stunners here. Be a good way to get out of something like that!

Hey, what's your name, anyway?

Stunners? You mean like a way to stun animals? [Yeah...that'd be handy. Simba had that ability...another reason to miss the guy]

It's Sora!

Yeah! Blasters - that's the kind of weapons we had at home - you could set them to stun and it wouldn't cause any damage, just knock people out. Or bears, probably.

Good to meet you, Sora! All right, hold on, I gotta descend now.

[Sora wasn't really that far from town, as the shuttle flies. Finn's a careful flier, not like his friends but good enough not to let the kid fall.]

Huh, is that so... [Sounds useful] I just had a friend like that.

Yeah, you too! Thanks for this! [And he's holding on!]

A friend who went around stunning people?

[And he sets the shuttle down without incident. Finn hops out after Sora lets go.]

Everything okay? Sorry I only had a small shuttle.

Ha...I guess that's one way of putting it.

[He's really not up to explaining Pokemon right now ok. But he'll hop off and brush himself off]

Yeah, it's okay! Thanks for coming to save me! I guess I owe ya.

[Well...there are some people with pretty weird powers here. Finn lets it go.]

Hey, no problem. I might be visiting your ship sometimes anyway, so it's good to know people from there. [And not let them get eaten by bears.]

Oh, of course! You can come to our ship anytime! [Because this has earned you automatic FRIEND STATUS] Poe's a really great guy, so it's nice to meet a friend of his!

Yeah, he is. Good friend. [Finn grins.]

Watch out for bears next time, okay?

[He gives a sheepish laugh]

Haha...don't worry! No more bears for me!

All right. Call me if you need anything.

[And he'll wave and head off!]

Will do! Thanks again!

[And he waves his NEW FRIEND off!]
