Living up to it's nickname, The Silver Shadow had lifted off almost as soon as they boarded, so smoothly and gently that the motion was hardly noticable. Now it was slowly cruising on autopilot over Vale City, staying low enough to hover just over the tallest skyscrapers.

Zhu-li led Asper to the center of the Bridge, empty as per her orders, she wanted them to enjoy this in private. "Watch." She reached to a terminal and turned up the stealth engine dial. The hologram expanded to swallow the walls around them, leaving... nothing.

They were walking on empty air, alone in the sheer vastness of the night sky. Invisible walls gave the illusion of emptiness, the stars above looked impossibly brilliant at such close range. And below... amber lights drifted up from the thousand lighted buildings and streets.

It was a view like no other, some would be terrified at the thought of floating with no ground, no walls, nothing to catch them. But to Zhu-li, it was the ultimate sense of freedom, one that she never grew tired of seeing. Asper's look was one of pure shock. She hoped it was 'awed' shock instead of fear.

But that wasnt even the best part...

Her watch beeped, 10pm sharp. Right on cue, dozens of flares lit up the distant streets below, then released in unison, seemingly aimed at the couple in the sky. But clever navigation steered the Shadow to safety among them, even as they burst into myriad colours all around, showering them in a hail of sparks on all sides like a kaleidoscope.

"I thought this would be better than just watching them from the ground." as they admired the fireworks, hand in hand.
