Punishment.

It's fun to watch you.

"Good Afternoon Aviators!" Says Hondo.

His voice booms throughout the hangar.

All the Aviators stood at attention as they watched the man pace back and forth.

His hands were behind his back as he paced.

"Today you will be learning how to dog fight,"

Lucia smiles as she looks over at Bob.

Bob catches her gaze and smiles back at her.

Reuben and Mickey both side-eye each other, smiling as well.

They knew that Bob and Lucia were going to outshine the other aviators.

They always did.

They were going to be on the plaque.

They were going to come out on top.

No matter what, they were going to work hard.

Push themselves past their limits.

Lucia was eager to get in the air and begin to learn her first exercise.

"Some of you already know what it takes to dogfight. You already know the ins and outs. But for everyone else, you will be learning today," Hondo continues.

Hondo then stops and looks at the group.

He then holds up his arm and sweeps the air.

"All Aviators on this side, please head to the Hall of Achievement, everyone else to your jets,"

Without another word, the Aviators head to the Hall of Achievement.

Lucia looks at Bob, Mickey, and Reuben smiling.

"So boys, ready to show these amateurs how to really fly?" she jokes as they all walk out to the tarmac.

Bob smiles as he catches up to her.

"No one is gonna see us coming," he says to her.

Lucia smiles up at him.

"You got Fanboy and Payback right behind you, so you better watch out," Reuben teases.

Bob rolls his eyes smiling.

"Reuben you wish the both of you were as amazing as us," he boasts.

Mickey chuckles at his friend's words.

Reuben scoffs as he and Mickey approach their jets.

"You're gonna eat those words," Reuben says as he climbs into the cockpit.

"You sure about that?" Lucia asks cockily as she too climbs into her cockpit.

Both Bob and Mickey prepare their aircrafts for flight.

Reuben smirks as he looks over at Lucia.

"Wanna bet on it?" he asks her.

Lucia smiles as Bob enters the cockpit.

The canopy closes as Mickey climbs into his cockpit.

"What do you have in mind?" She asks him.

Reuben could hear the smirk in her voice.

"If you and Bob become Top Graduates, Mickey and I will buy you and the team a round at the Hard Deck,"

Lucia smiles.
