"Low Altitude, pull up, Low altitude, pull up…"

After many months dating and many more on the clock, Nick and Judy were finally able to get time off together, 1 week that they were going to spend at a getaway up past Bunny Burrows. Soon after work on Friday, Judy and Nick were going to meet up at Nick's place to finalize plans.

Well after the agreed time of meeting Judy, who got held up trying to find her favorite shirt, finally arrived at Nick's place. When she arrived Nick proceed to comment "My, my, even though you have made it several months without being late once to work, you show up late to have a vacation…. If I wasn't smart enough i would think that you wanted to work over our vacation."

"Shut up, I just had a little trouble finding my favorite shirt." Judy retorted.

Nick responded to Judy's retort with, "Is that the one with the tiny carrot on the front?"

Judy muttered a yes while blushing under her furry coat. Nick went over to the car and said while gesturing to the trunk of his car, "Alright carrots, you can put your bags right up in here." The embarrassed rabbit took her bags over to the trunk and stacked them neatly in the back next to Nick's bags. "Now then carrots, shall we?"

Judy responded by hopping into the passenger seat and saying, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

With a fairly uneventful trip to the getaway, the only noise in the car was the music on the radio, and the occasional conversation between the 2 friends. After they passed Bunny Burrows, it took them about 10 more minutes to get to the getaway. Upon arriving Judy, who knew about this place, asked Nick "So, what do you think?"

Nick made the astonished reply of, "This is nice, a look at that view, nothing can really match it." After the 2 were able to get their stuff unloaded, and into the quaint little cabin, Judy said, "I got the cabin with the WiFi just for you!" After that comment, Nick responded with, "I mean thanks," He then put his paw over his heart "But I'm offended you think that is all I want, just some WiFi, then you are sorely mistaken carrots." After a 20 minute conversation, Judy offered to get some dinner started. Nick, being hungry since they got there, accepted this offer and started to wonder what Judy was going to make. Before long he realized that she was cooking a cricket burger for him, at this he thought out loud, "I thought you hated bugs and of course touching them carrots?"

Judy responded with a simple "Well that's because I got the precooked version so I don't have to shape it myself." Nick, about to make a sarcastic retort, got cut off by the ringing phone sitting on the table next to him. Still wanting to make a sarcastic comment, he read the name on the phone and said to Judy, "Look, it's everyone's favorite buffalo in the whole wide universe."

After picking up the phone and a short conversation. Nick, with a wide eyed look on his face, looked over at Judy and said, "Carrots… you might want to wait on dinner." After Judy asked why, Nick just said, "We need to get in the car, I will explain to you once we are underway…"

After I woke up next to my wife and copilot, I whispered a good morning to Jaiden. I then went to the hotel's coffee machine to make some coffee, after about 5 minutes the coffee was all made, I proceeded to pour my wife a cup of coffee and took it over to her, still in bed she took a few sips and said, "Well after all of these years, you can still make a damn fine cup of coffee."

"Alright, whatever you say, we just need to get to the airport so we can fly the new triple 7 dash 9. I heard that she is beauty to fly and majestically soars through the sky smoother than a blimp, but of course much faster than one."

"Alright flyboy, let's get down to the airport." After the getting to the airport, through security, and in the briefing room, the two of us sat through the briefing and went to take the brand new plane from Washington Dulles all the way to Lisbon Portela Airport, a six hour journey. After our brand new plane landed, they replaced the obviously tired flight crew who apparently just came from Los Angeles International. The duo went through their preflight check, after completing the preflight check, they started boarding passengers, when all of the passengers were loaded, they requested request to taxi to the runway. After a few minutes they got onto the runway. After a couple seconds they fired up the engines, and took off.

Nothing eventful happened until about halfway over the Atlantic Ocean. That is until a cyclone started to form off the plane's starboard side. When Jaiden got the weather alert, the plane was already being shaken by the cyclone's intense winds, at this point the seatbelt light has been turned on. After a few minutes trying to fight the cyclone, the plane started to be pulled backwards. At this point I turned the plane around to keep the plane from dropping to the sea below. After about 10 times, I decided that it will be time to divert to the nearest swatch of land to land the plane and possibly save the souls on board the plane. After telling Jaiden my plan, I told her to keep looking for any piece of land, being low on fuel didn't help either, when we hit an altitude of 1000 feet, a sudden updraft took the plane higher. I instinctively went on intercom and told the passengers and other flight crew to brace.

After the updraft always came a downdraft, as I was waiting to quickly angle the plane upwards, and fire all of the engines. Just seconds before the downdraft hit, the loving copilot pressed her face against the window, and turned towards me with a look of hope in her eyes. After a couple seconds of waiting, that felt like an eternity, the downdraft hit.

I tried to fight the downdraft, but it was no use, the plane lost altitude and airspeed. After the plane was a mere 100 feet above the violent, churning sea. There was another updraft, this confused me quite a lot, I glanced over a Jaiden, who also had a look of confusion. After riding out the updraft, he turned the plane to port to try find this land that Jaiden saw. After a sudden bump of turbulence knocked most of the flight crew and passengers out including Jaiden, I decided to just fly as straight and as level as he can, then the blaring beep of the low fuel indicator blared throughout the cockpit. I then saw the land that Jaiden was talking about, although the storm had disappeared into thin air, that was the least of my problems, I now had to deal with the bird strike that had occured with engine 1, I diverted extra power to engine 2, and that's when the second engines burst into flames. I pulled out my phone, which had no connection, despite a strange looking city being really clone. We were also close to the... buildings, I quickly pulled up to avoid hitting any of the strange looking buildings. After we were clear of the buildings I opened the voice recording app, and spoke into it, while keeping my hands on the yoke, "I just escaped a storm and flew by a large metropolitan city, with no recognizable airport nearby I am looking for an empty field, both engines are on fire, and the landing gear is failing to deploy. My copilot is unconscious along with the rest of the flight crew." The plane's ground proximity warning interrupted with a "Low Altitude, pull up, Low altitude, pull up…" I ignored this, simply because there was nothing I could do. After passing over a bridge I saw an open field I presumed was used for farming, I tried one more time to deploy the landing gear, but to no avail. I then decided to continue the recording, "I hope someone finds this recording, there appears to be no nearby air traffic control facilities, even so I have put several distress call outs to no response." with the altitude nearing 0, and the ground proximity warning system screaming louder than ever, I tried to finish my recording with, "I have turned the passcode off for this phone, this recording will automatically play to whoever finds this device and turns it on. This is Captain Colten Ariel Davis that was my final message." He ended the recording and then put the phone in my pocket… "Pull up, Terrain, Pull up, Terrain, Pull…."

Impact.

With Judy and Nick arriving on the scene about 11 minutes before the rest of the officers. When they got there, Nick and Judy weren't ready for the crash site being filled with destruction that surrounding the downed plane. Even though there were at least 2 other airports the plane could have landed at. The plane was so mangled, Judy was barely able to tell what the plane could have looked like in flight, with the elevators sitting near a barn that was behind the plane. The plane was split in two parts, the front being mostly intact, the back half being crumpled like a tin can. The rudder was leaning on the cockpit. One of the wings was near the road, while the other had inserted itself into the cabin of the front half of the plane. Both engines had detached themselves from the wings, one sitting near the cockpit of the plane, the other had detached in the wake of the plane and was sitting far behind the plane.

Nick slowly stepped out of the car and looked at the scene with eyes wide with pure shock. Judy hopped out of the car much quicker and started to rush towards the scene with a never before seen boundless amount of energy, only to be stopped by Nick grabbing her arm. The rabbit wondered why the fox had grabbed her, only to look into his eyes that seemed to say, 'I don't want to lose you, not now, not here.' Nick then proceeded to say, "Please, at least wait until we have some sort of help here…"

"There might be people still alive in there, we have to help…" Judy responded shortly before running to the plane's door, only for it to be too far buried to be opened. She then ducked around to the back half of the plane to find fire claiming passengers that were scattered everywhere.

After a few seconds of looking around Nick yelled out to the concerned rabbit, "I have someone alive over here!" The passenger looked over at the fast approaching rabbit, only for his weird looking paw to raise up, then fall before Judy could make it to help comfort the dying passenger. With his dead eyes glaring at Judy, Nick shut the eyelids. Soon afterwards police cars and a few fire trucks showed up, along with a handful of ambulances. The fire trucks immediately started to douse the fire raging around the crash, Bogo called Nick and Judy over for an update, and how bad the crash seems.

I awoke to find my nostrils stinging with the stench of smoke. I turned my head around to see my beautiful wife slumped over the controls. I freed my hand from under a pile of rubble, and felt her face, it was still warm, but so was everything else. So I tried to feel for a pulse, I eventually found her neck, and a beating pulse. I unbuckled myself and lifted myself up to look out the window to see that is was dark out, Looking up slightly I could see the rudder leaning against the top of the cockpit. There was soil pretty far up the nose, but not touching the window. So I decided to go into the back of the plane and see if anyone else was alive. I got into the cabin to find that the wing had vertically inserted itself in between the business class and first class sections of the plane. I looked through all of the passenger areas, to only to determine that, in the front half of the plane, my copilot and I were the only survivors.

I rushed back to the front, found a flare kit, a first aid kit, and tossed them through one of the broken windows, I went over to the love of my life, and unbuckled her from seat, then I lifted the both of us out through the window. Only my arm got caught on a shard of glass, but otherwise I got outside of the plane unscathed. With the smoke thick in the air, I thought I saw a figure, but when it disappeared, I thought nothing of it. I started to administer first aid to my dying wife underneath the giant rudder above us. After a few moments, after I believe to have gotten her stabilized. I started to walk to where I had thought I had heard some voices, only to see a large amount of fuel sitting next to the burning engine, quickly I ran back to the supposed safety of the area under the tail fin. After ducking for cover near my wife, and I sat atop her to protect her from the soon to follow explosion.

While bringing chief Bogo up to date on what they believe is going on, a massive explosion came from near the front of the plane. Instinctively everyone's ears went down, and paws flew over their heads to protect from supposed shrapnel coming from the explosion. When non came, everyone went back to what they were doing before. Judy almost finished telling Chief Bogo what they thought was going on, when some debris in the front shifted, and the massive tail fin shifted over to the other side of the plane. After about 5 minutes of shifting debris and bodies, Judy's large ears suddenly perked up and were pointed towards the tail fin, and a bright flare shot up out of a section of cleared wreckage. With Judy and several paramedics rushing over they saw 2 slightly burnt bodies one crawling towards the EMT's while continuously croaking for help and holding a flare gun, the other sitting upright on a piece of wreckage with her eyes closed. Judy ran for the man crawling towards the EMT's when he suddenly collapsed, his final words that he croaked out before passing out were, "Please help her first." Gesturing to the woman sitting up, supported by a bit of wreckage. Abiding by the mans croaked words, Judy ran over to the woman, and at this point, Nick and Bogo were there to help lift the body out of the small compartment under the tail fin, which was slowly filling with smoke. The EMT's started to get stretchers out of the ambulances to put the bodies on. With Nick being unusually quiet and had no comments or jokes for the current situation. Despite him having plenty when we are dealing with brutal murders. Only after watching the ambulances rush away towards the nearest hospital, Nick finally said, "Well looks like that plane ride got a little turbulent." Judy looked over, glad that Nick was back to normal, but also not amused by the joke, Chief Bogo had the same look in his eyes.

After coming in and out of consciousness I thought I saw… animals dressed in EMT uniforms taking care of me in the back of an ambulance. One time, when I was probably loaded with pain killers, I tried to ask, "Why d-didn't you... save her first..." Before passing out again. Next thing that I remember, I was being wheeled into a hospital until I passed out again. When I finally woke up for good, I was alone in an empty, but clean hospital room. I looked around and took note of my surroundings, I saw my pilot cap sitting on the nightstand next to my bed, along with a phone that I assumed to be mine, and a glass of ice water. I suddenly found myself wondering if anyone had heard my message. I also saw a window across the room from me with a nice blue sky in the background only interrupted by the occasional building or cloud. After being awake for a few minutes, I thought I heard a familiar voice in the next room… "Jaiden?" I asked out loud, I got up and wandered over to the door, only to find it locked. I went over to the wall next to my bed and pressed my ear to it, and heard two voices, one unfamiliar, the other I had heard this morning.

"Ma'am you're gonna have to calm down"

"Where the hell is my husband, I will NOT cooperate with any of your damn tests until I see him…"

Then I heard a third voice pop up, sounding much more calm, and concerned. "Listen, we will take you to see your husband, but only if you agree to our tests… What did you say your name was again?"

"Jaiden, my name is Jaiden. Now can I just see a god damn familiar face you stupid rabbit?"

'Rabbit?' then were there animals actually taking care of me in that ambulance? When I started to hear footsteps right outside the door, some softer and some hard, I went over to the window and stared out of it. When the footsteps stopped the door clicked, then the door started to open, only for the person opening the door to get pushed aside by Jaiden who rushed in and was hugging me before I could blink. I turned around and put my arms around her, we gave each other a quick but loving kiss. Then what I swear to god was a fox standing on its hind legs and in a police uniform grabbed her wrist and pulled her away while saying, "Come on you crazy lovers." We still held hands until our hands were separated by the distance between our bodies.
