They were going into space. Somehow it seemed cooler that an airport had to acknowledge the spaceship that if they were just sneaking up into the sky. He really wished he could send a text to Flash showing the boy that he was on a spaceship, but Ned knew he couldn't - bummer.
The teenage boy was unaware of Peter's nerves - it didn't help that he was riding in the co-pilot seat while Peter was elsewhere, but Ned was also so caught up in just being in a spaceship, he was having a hard time noticing anything else. He even bobbed his head at the song, he was that excited. "I really hope I don't throw up!" Though no promises. And for once, Ned wasn't even worried about being embarrassed.
