✈️🐾 FLUFF TALES — EPISODE 1: “FLIGHT PLAN LOADED”

Morning at Laizer Air starts like it always does.

Warm engines.

Soft checklists.

Three voices moving in rhythm without needing to think too hard about it.

---

Rowdy pulls up the route.

The screen loads.

Then stops.

---

It’s blank.

Not an error. Not a warning.

Just… empty.

---

He stares at it for a second longer than usual.

Then taps refresh.

Same thing.

---

Laizer leans over his shoulder.

«“Maybe it’s just slow today.”»

She says it like it’s nothing.

Like systems being slow is a normal kind of weather.

---

Bianca checks the backup feed.

«“Nothing duplicated either.”»

She tilts her head slightly.

«“That’s unusual.”»

Not urgent. Just noted.

---

Rowdy exhales through his nose.

«“Alright.”»

A pause.

«“We’ll request it again.”»

---

They do.

Still blank.

---

No one panics.

No alarms. No tension spike. No scramble.

Just a quiet shared understanding that something didn’t arrive on time.

---

Laizer hops down from the console.

«“We can still fly though, right?”»

---

Rowdy looks at the empty screen again.

Then at the runway schedule.

Then out at the sky.

---

«“Yeah,” he says. “We can still fly.”»

---

So they do.

---

Taxi is normal.

Engines respond like they always do.

Everything feels familiar enough to trust.

---

Takeoff is clean.

Smooth lift. Standard climb.

Nothing unusual in the air.

---

Laizer watches the horizon widen.

«“Feels the same.”»

---

Bianca nods.

«“Flight is still flight.”»

---

Rowdy keeps his eyes forward.

Hands steady.

No need to overthink it.

---

They settle into cruise.

The sky opens up the way it always does.

---

Somewhere along the route, Rowdy checks the panel again.

The route field is still blank.

He doesn’t mention it.

---

Laizer is humming something quiet.

Not a song. Just rhythm.

---

Bianca is tracking the instruments like normal.

Everything reads stable.

Everything reads fine.

---

They continue.

Like always.

---

Landing approach comes up naturally.

No confusion. No correction needed.

Just alignment.

---

Rowdy brings them down smooth.

Wheels touch clean.

Same as any other day.

---

Engines wind down.

Checklist resumes.

Routine closes itself.

---

Laizer stretches.

«“Good flight.”»

---

Bianca closes the panel.

«“Successful landing.”»

---

Rowdy finally looks at the screen one last time.

Still blank.

He shuts it off.

---

No one talks about it again.
