Afternoon Tea in Space (Luna, Part Three)

Luna took a deep breath and steeled herself for the challenge ahead. She had never taught anyone to fly before, let alone a group of elderly pilots. But she was determined to help them and prove herself worthy of staying in Moon city.

 

She watched as the grannies weaved and dodged through the sky, bouncing off each other like pinballs. It was chaos, but they were all having the time of their lives.

 

"Alright, ladies," Luna said over the intercom, "Let's start with some basic manoeuvres. Follow me."

 

Luna borrowed Cybelle’s craft and led the group through a series of simple loops and rolls. At first, the grannies were hesitant, but as they gained confidence, they started to fly with more control and precision.

 

But then, disaster struck. Grinelda misjudged her trajectory and collided with a passing asteroid. Her spacecraft spun out of control, hurtling towards the surface of the moon.

 

Luna sprang into action, using a grappling hook to latch onto the stricken vehicle. She led the spacecraft to safety, avoiding obstacles and debris along the way.

 

"Thank you, dearie," she said, hugging Luna tightly. "You saved my life.

 

Now, I do believe it’s time for tea!"
