Disclaimer: I do not own Sky High, or any of the characters in it. I only own Vivianne, her mother Silvia, her dog, and Eddie. I own the names of Louise and Melissa, but not the characters, because they are characters in the original movie who did not have real names so I gave them ones to suit the story. I have been reading fanfiction for a long time, so if you are a writer and recognize something that may resemble something from your story, I'm sorry it was not intentional. Please forgive me. Now enough of me talking, on with the story.
Maxville Metropolis… big cities, nice suburbs, shopping malls, movie theaters, and totally out of my comfort zone; I've been to the city a few times during the summers as a child, but I have never been much of a city girl, I even avoided going into town with my mother as much as possible. See I used to live in the more rural part of Scottsboro, Alabama, we had 3 acres of land surrounded by trees perfect for free running, the air was clear, and at night you could see every single star in the sky… it was beautiful… I'm really going to miss it, but hey when money gets you down you go where you can actually make a living.
Vivianne stared intently at the seat in front of her on the airplane; they were about an hour away from Maxville Metro airport. She gripped the arm rests of her seat even harder if possible, seeing as she was still white knuckling it since the last time they hit turbulence about two hours ago. "Vivi, sweet pea you really should really loosen up on your arm rests you're really close to ripping them off."
Viv let out a strained whine. "I can't help it mama… I don't like this… at any second this damned contraption could fall out of the sky then we'd all die." When she spoke her voice was a little higher than normal.
"Don't be to dramatic sweet pea if you'd take a chance to relax, you'd see how soothing the ride is." Her mom responded stroking Viv's dark brown hair trying to calm her down. Viv turned her head looking at her mother's calm face with her fear filled one.
"Mama if I was meant to be up in the air I would have been born with wings or the power to fly, but do I have either of those things? No I don't, remind me why we couldn't drive again…" Vivianne snapped at her mother, her pale green eyes flashing yellow for a split second.
"Vivianne Charlotte Istrai! I am going to pretend you did NOT just take that tone with me because I know you're scared, but you need to relax." Silvia chided her daughter and sighed. "An 8 hour flight is a lot better than a 3 day + drive." She added speaking in a softer tone.
"True, especially with your sense of direction, we'd be calling Nana at all hours for help." Viv joked, finally relaxing a bit; loosening her grip on the arm rests, until she felt the plane bump again. "Oh shit!" she squeaked and tightened her grip again when a voice came over the loud speaker.
"Ladies and gentleman if you will please be seated and fasten your seat belts we will be landing in Maxville Metro soon, we hope you had a nice flight, thank you for flying Southwest Airlines."
"On thank god I have to pee." Vivianne mumbled not worried about buckling her seat belt seeing as she hadn't gotten up or unbuckled the seat belt the entire flight.
20 minutes later
"Baggage claim… Baggage claim… if I was baggage claim where would I be…?" Vivianne mumbled pushing her way through the crowd of people. While she went to the bathroom her mom went ahead to baggage claim so they wouldn't miss their bags and now Viv was regretting her decision not to hold it for a few minutes longer seeing as she was completely and utterly lost. Sighing, she finally decided to ask someone getting frustrated. She stopped and looks around her and stopped the first person that looked like they worked her. "Pardon me sir, but can you tell me were baggage claim is, I'm kinda lost?" She asked sheepishly, scratching the back of her head.
"Uh over there under the sign that says baggage claim." The man answered rather snootily pointing to the right of her.
"Ok, thank you." Vivianne said sweetly, then mumbled, "Dick." Under her breath as she walked away in the direction he pointed, looking for the platinum blonde hair of her mother. Having a hard time spotting her mother she got a bright idea and off the top of her lungs yelled, "MARCO!" She listened for a few seconds, and laughed when she heard her mother's voice reply, "POLO!" Vivianne quickly walked in the direction of her mother's voice repeating the process until she found her. "Oh god mama I missed you!" She said dramatically and hugged her mother.
"Oh Vivi knock it off, we were only separated for 10 minutes at the most." Silvia said waving off her daughter's silly behavior.
"It was the longest 10 minutes of my life! I couldn't find the baggage claim, and when I asked for help the man was rude to me, mama… I don't like it here already, remind me why couldn't we stay is Alabama with Awo." She stated crossing her arms while looking at the conveyer belt for their luggage.
"Vivianne, I am not having this conversation with you again, least of all here. I'm just as upset as you are, but you know why we left so drop it." Silvia responded. "Your grandmother is supposed to meet us here, so be a dear and look out for her while I grab our stuff." Silvia moved closer to the conveyer belt seeing their luggage.
Vivianne turned away from the luggage and inspected the crowd. Trying to find a little white hair woman wearing bottle cap glasses in a sea of people turned out to be a lot harder than it sounded, but eventually she spotted her. "Nana! Nana! Over here!" Vivianne yelled, bouncing on the balls of her feet and waving her arms frantically, not noticing the looks her actions were getting her. The old woman looked straight at her and smiled waving at her, moving faster than she had ever seen her Nana move her entire life.
"Oooh Vianne! I swear every time I see you, you get taller and more beautiful." Louise said giving her granddaughter a hug around her waist, Vivianne having grown a whole 2 feet taller since the last time she saw her, standing now at 5'7" to her grandmother's 5'5".
"Your exaggerating Nana, I may have gotten taller, but I look the same as I did last time you saw me." She said hugging her grandmother back. By that time her grandma was done fawning over her, her mother came over with what was left of their stuff, since they had sent most of their things ahead of time.
"Oh my Silvia, come give me a hug. Your hair seems to get more blonde every time, it's a wonder how all of that dye hasn't gone to your head yet." Louise joked with her daughter giving her a hug. "Alright, let's go you two, Vianne there is someone at home who is dying to see you." Vivianne grabbed her bags and followed quickly behind her grandma knowing exactly who she was referring to. There was a slight bounce it her step for the first time since she arrived at the prospect of seeing her baby boy.
Vivianne didn't realize how tired she was until she sat in the backseat of her grandma's van. Not even 5 minutes into the ride she started nodding of… by 10 minutes she was out like a light, the stress of the plane ride and jet lag quickly taking its toll. "Vivi… Viv sweetie you need to get up we're home." Silvia gently shook her daughter earning a tired groan. "Come on sweet pea, you just need to get to your room, then you can go back to sleep okay?"
Vivianne opened her eyes and looked at her mother, her eyes completely glazed over making Silvia doubt her daughter was even awake. Vivianne got out of the car and let Silvia lead her threw the front door, quickly shushing the Great Dane that met them at the door before he barked and led her to her room. "Come on Val," Vivianne called in her half asleep state. Hearing her call the Great Dane happily followed the 2 women to a bedroom in the back of the house.
Once they got to the room Silvia tucked her daughter into bed, and shook her head at the spoiled Great Dane who jumped in the bed and cuddled with his master, where he would most likely stay for the rest of the night until Viv woke the next morning.
A/N: If you want to see outfits I'm making them on polyvore, and I'll post the link. Character pictures is something I'm working on getting since my inspiration pictures for certain characters can't be clipped to Polyvore, but I'll let you know. Outfits will be posted to my profile. [|XD
