A/N – Alright. Here's the first installment of my first full-length National Treasure fanfic. (Yes, the title needs work. If anyone has a better title, please let me know) I would like to say thanks to daisyduke80, for helping me with details.
Disclaimer – I do not own National Treasure. I do own any characters you do not recognize.
Disappearing Act
Riley was sitting in one of those uncomfortable, hard, plastic chairs at the airport. He really didn't mind today. For today was the day that his sister was flying in from Ohio. He hasn't seen Rebecca since he left for college five years ago. Now she's coming to spend the entire summer before college with him.
Riley was so excited that he couldn't sit still. First, he would be tapping his leg, then his fingers. Then he would shift in his seat. It was really starting to annoy some people around him.
"Riley, settle down." Riley sharply turned his head to the left. He had forgotten that Ben was sitting next to him, or there at all. "Riley," Ben started again. "I know, I know," he interrupted, "I'm just really excited to see Becky again, that's all." "Flight 128 from Ohio will be landing shortly at gate 8A. Flight 128 from Ohio will be landing shortly at gate 8A." Riley suddenly jumped up. "That's her flight!" he shouted as he ran to the gate.
By the time Ben caught up with him, Riley was fidgeting and complaining. "When are they gonna let people off the plane. I wanna see Becky. I'm sick of standing around. It's too crowded in here. It smells funny." Luckily, passengers started appearing.
Ben wasn't sure what Rebecca, or Becky, looked like at first. But, it wasn't hard to tell who was Becky when she appeared. She looked just like Riley. Same dark hair, same blue eyes, same face. She even dressed like he did, a tee-shirt, hoodie, jeans, and of course, converse sneakers. When she spotted Riley and Ben, her face lit up, and she ran over to them.
Once Becky reached the other two, she literally jumped into Riley's arms for a hug. They were both laughing as he rocked her back and forth for a minute. When they broke apart, Ben could see that they were even the same height. "So how was your flight? Did you get a little packet of peanuts? Oh, by the way, this is my good friend, Ben. Are you tired?" Riley asked as they made their way over to baggage claim.
"Alright if you like loud, annoying kids on a summer field trip screaming in your ear. Yes, I got several packets. Hi Ben. I am not tired, but I would like to get out of here. I'm hungry. It's crowded in here. It also smells funny," Becky replied quickly. One of Ben's eyebrows went up, they were like twins.
After ten minutes of claiming suitcases, they headed out. "What first, Riley's apartment, or my place to eat?" Ben asked, loading the car. Riley and Becky looked at each other, and simultaneously said, "Food!" They all laughed as they took off for the Gates'.
A/N – I know it's really short, but I just wanted to get this first part up and introduce Becky. Next part will be longer, with Abby and Becky's meeting. And, incase you're wondering, yes, Riley has his own place.
