The beeping on one end ceased but the other one continued, she shrugged and kicked the panel. It stopped too. "Thanks!" She called back, a huge explosion of the screen caught her attention (http://l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com/17624.html?thread=150488#t150488).
The concussion wave hit and they barrelled to Earth faster, Rose pulled on the control column and attempted to slow it down. Green and brown appeared on screen. She pulled some more until she was straining, and there was a park, familiar. The ship must be on automatic descent here all she needs to do is slow. it. down.
Earth hit sooner and there was a horrible crunch a shudder. Rose sat on her chair, stunned. "We're here."
"ow." John shook his head. "I think you lost a few points at the end there for not sticking the landing, but the Olympic judges are still giving you 9s. Except the German one, but they're always fuckers."
"Oi," Rose said to John, "It was my first time landing, so I say we did pretty good!" Then to Tori, "You're welcome, just glad to be back on ground though."
Then looked around at the control panel and burst out laughing out of pure relief.
"Well, now that you've got a shiny new ship, I expect you to take care of it. Wash it, feed it, take it out for walks and flights..." He's grinning like mad.
John turned around and grabbed the cloth, making his second loincloth of the night. He stood there, holding the meelee pipe, two ray guns dangling from his neck, and strangly dignified, as only a teenager who kicked ass and is more graygreen than fleshtoned can be. "Thanks!" he said, with a sideways grin. "Same time next week?"
