"What's up Duke?" Drake and Wing walked up to their friend. The former glanced to them and smiled, weakly suppressing a laugh.
Duke jerked a hand towards the small plane off the side, looking as if it could only fit around a set of ten to twenty. "I pity the guys who'll have to ride that thing. Look's like it could break from over-boarding of passengers--"

Duke grimaced and stuck his tongue out at his human companion. "Aahh forget it."
