S03:É11 - S03:E11 - Episode 11

Charley is depressed and broods over his 'bad luck'. Before catching glandular fever he had everything to look forward to. Now - one, simple, little kiss later - he's unable to train and unable to remain at Solar Blue. Disheartened, he figures that even if he is able to return in a month or so he'll never catch up with the fitness levels of the others. So he decides to resign from the academy for good. Loren is devastated by Charley's news and urges him to reconsider. But it's to no avail - Charley has made up his mind and that's it. As luck would have it though, Fly drops into Solar Blue on her way to Perth. Loren seizes the opportunity and asks her to visit Charley to see if she can convince him to return. Fly can't promise she'll succeed but she does agree to talk to him. Soon after, Charley and Fly meet and he quite bluntly tells her that nothing she can say will convince him to return to Solar Blue. To Charley's great surprise, Fly announces that she has no intention of saying anything. On the contrary, she's going to take him for a picnic. Charley reluctantly allows himself to be dragged along - only to discover [like many others have before him] that it's very easy to underestimate the diminutive Fly. As it happens, the picnic presents him with an experience that will turn his life around completely.
