Boarding Sexy Love Flight
Naoko and
Eros-Aphrodite came to the end of the hall. The guide gave the mouse a golden
pass.
“Here,” he said.
“This is a far as I can take you.” Naoko blinked at him.
“What?” he
asked. “Why?” His guide smiled and shook his head.
“Sorry, this is
as far as I can go,” he said. “I did act on my love when I was human. So, I must
guide people to their loves before I can meet with mine again.” Naoko couldn’t
help but feel a tingle of sadness for the man.
“I wish you
luck,” he said.
“Same to you,”
Eros-Aphrodite said back. The men bowed and parted company.

Naoko could hear
upbeat 70’s pop music down the hall. He clutched the pass in his hand. Where
would he be headed now? Each circle was more fun than the last. Where would he
finally meet up with Midori-chan? The mouse boy came up to a giant light pink
heart-shaped door. A slot was screwed in the middle.
“Please insert
pass here” a sign read above it. Naoko looked down at the golden pass in his
hand. I guess they’re talking about this,
he thought. The mouse boy slid the pass into the slot. The golden paper
disappeared and the door hummed. Naoko backed up as the door started glowing.
“Welcome!” a
woman’s voice floated through his ears. “Your next guide will be with you
shortly.” Her sultry tone made the mouse boy shiver. The big door slid open. The
spicy smell of perfume drew Naoko inside.

When his eyes
adjusted to his new settings, Naoko saw a woman dressed in a pink flight
attendant uniform.
“Greetings!” she
said. “You are just in time for your flight, sir.” The mouse boy blinked with a
blink stare.
“Flight?” he
asked. The perky flight attendant grabbed him by the hands.
“Well come on,”
she said. “I don’t have time to explain everything to you on the ground. We’ll
miss our flight!” The smiling flight attendant dragged the mouse boy with her in
a run before he had the chance to speak. The lavender in her ponytail tickled
his nose as it swished from side to side.
The pair ran
down a narrow white-pink hallway.
“We’re almost
there!” the flight attendant said. “We will be able to make it just in time.”
Naoko tried his best to keep up with her fast talking.
“What are you
talking about?” he asked at last. “What flight?”
“You will see
when we get there!” she shouted. The flight attendant began to run faster.
Further down the hall, they came to another white-pink door. The woman pushed it
opened and walked inside. Bright pink swallowed the scenery everywhere. Naoko
looked around once his eyes adjusted again. Once the flight attendant caught her
breath, she straightened up her hair and clothes. When she looked presentable
again, she broke into her familiar grin.
“Welcome aboard
Flight Venus!” she greeted Naoko. “Please take your seat and we will be ready to
take off.” The mouse boy nodded with big eyes.
“Okay…” he said.
She giggled as she gently took him by the arm and led him to a seat by the
window.
“Relax,” the flight attendant said. “You’ll be in good hands.”
