Time to look for the author...*** "With Mom's Help" |
"With Mom's Help"
by Commodore Fyrstk
Mass pandemonium. That would be the best way to describe what was currenlty going on inside the school shuttle from Pasteur Station. The shuttle was being tossed about like a piece of paper in the wind. Ship alarm systems and students, alike, were screaming.
Ronov Fyrstk sat, almost paralyzed, strapped into the pilot's seat. This was far more than the nine-year old had ever expected. He tried to calm himslef, and work the controls to try to bring some semblence of order to the shuttle's passage through the turbulent wormhole, but all he could really think of was how much he really wanted his mother right at this moment.
"You can do this, Ronnie," came a soothing voice. Ronov felt a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see who was at his side.
"Momma?"
April Styles-Fyrstk smiled warmly to her son. "Yes, baby. It's me."
"But.... you're...... you're...."
"Always with you, honey," she said. "You have been studying these controls for some time, now. You know how to do it. Block out all the rest of the noise and concentrate."
Ronov did exactly that. He didn't know exactly how his mother was standing there at his side, but he didn't care. His fingers danced over the helm control, but it was still difficult. The wormhole forces were incredible. Still, the young Fyrstk managed to stop the shuttle from rolling and flipping.
"Momma, Ah'm so scared," Ronov admitted, he didn't take his eyes off the panel.
"I know you are, baby," she said softly. Her hand came to his forehead and brushed aside the stray locks. Ronov flet a kiss on the top of his head. "I'm so proud of you all."
And just like that, the shuttle ride smoothed out as the ship was spit out of the wormhole. Ronov turned to shout to his mother that they had done it. His gleeful expression quickly vanished as April no longer stood there by his side.
