kristenskSo, I'd decided that, since there's a semi-official (Funimation has recognized it!) "Fullmetal Alchemist Day" on October 3, I'd make a day for each of my other fandoms too and write a drabble for those days. I kind of missed my designated "SWAT Kat Day" of September 12-13 (around the time most sources agree the show first aired), but here's a not-too-late drabble.
Pay-off
This wasn’t the time to rush, Jake Clawson reminded himself. This had to be right.
Slowly, he let his eyes scan the readouts on his screen, absorbing what they were telling him.
All systems go.
It was time.
“We good, Buddy?” Chance’s simple words burned with excitement.
Jake hesitated, re-read.
“Yeah, everything looks good.”
His stomach fluttered as the pitch of the engines changed.
It had taken two years. Two years of long days and short nights. Two years of as many failures as successes. Two years of frustration and triumph.
But, tonight, they were finally going to fly again.
