He held out a hand and the Aviator took it, standing as well and yawning.

They headed back to the castle as well, having to jog to keep up with the princess. They followed her through the front doors ...

Actually, I cannot pinpoint why the transition between these two paragraphs doesn’t feel right. It may just be the repetition of "as well" and of "They". Replace the first "They" by "The agents" and remove the second "as well"?

She yawned blearily, though the yawn turned into a yelp when their surroundings changed, dumping them in another flashback.
Shouldn't that be "into another flashback"?

The followed her all the way down to the stables, where she found Sofia grooming Minimus.
Should be "They".

He put his eye to the gap, watching with a sour taste in his mouth as he watched Sofia giggling with the Blue Sue about various things.
Watching as he watched? Sounds a bit repetitive.

Insert generic praise etc. I’m at work and don’t have time.

I knew this fic was going to be mission'd. XD Thank you very much for the writing!

You should be rightly proud of yourself, and I can actually say that on the Board this time because I didn't beta it. The Aviator and Zeb remain one of my favourite agent pairs, and their sheer exasperation was a joy to read.

I'd say keep up the good work, but a) we both know you will and b) you're probably halfway through the next one by now. =]

Five days for this new mission? You're just too good. A bit sad to see Ave is already back at the bottom of the pit though, even with her TARDIS back (I understand why, but...). Please, do no let her return to these... moments in the bathroom.

Still, it's a good mission, and it's so good to see a Sue kill herself. Now that's progress.
