A story written by Jassific and Kaylyn

Chapter 1

Miranda and Andy were on their way to the airport after successfully closing up Paris fashion week. It was a very stressful week for the both of them. Andy was now on her second year with Miranda. The first year in Paris she almost left Miranda, but she just couldn't leave her. She fell for her a long time ago. She couldn't possible leave with everything going on in Miranda's life back then. Her divorce, the Jacqueline Follet incident… so she stayed. They needed each other even though neither of them would admitted it.

They've grown closer in the past year. It had become a routine for Andrea to stay after she brought the book, and Miranda would show her firsthand editing the book. Miranda even listened to Andy's ideas. They both loved and looked forward to those evenings. Andy became her first assistant after a year while Emily was transferred to Runways art department.

"Here is your flight information Miranda. I will be in economy class you have a first class ticket." Andy said once they arrived at the airport.

"Why on earth are you in economy class?" Miranda glared at her. This kind of turned Andy on.

"Uhm…I didn't know if the budget…" Miranda held up a hand and strode over to the ticket counter herself.

"Excuse moi, madame." She said in perfect French. And Andy was nearly having a heart attack she loved when Miranda spoke French. She didn't understand the rest of conversation, but she was more than turned on by it. After a while she came back and gave her a ticket.

"Come along Andrea, as my assistant i need you close by me so I upgraded your ticket. You will sit next to me." Miranda said while walking to the gate.

"Wow Miranda. I am so grateful, thank you." Andy was stunned she never flew first class before. She didn't even care about that as much as the fact that she was going to get to sit next to her hot boss for 8 hours straight.

"Don't thank me yet. We will be working during the flight." Miranda said with a smirk.

"I don't mind at all." She grinned like a fool.

They were soon boarding and settled down in their seats. Andy was impressed by the first class and loved all the luxury. Miranda watched her being in awe and giddy about all the features.

God she loved that woman.

They settled down and Andy started working on Miranda's notes to each show and ordered them with the right outfit. And they had been to a lot of shows. It was exciting as it was stressful. Miranda on the other hand worked on her emails and on the book that was sent to her digitally.

"Andrea, I need your opinion on this font for page 64. Something seems off."

Andy was proud that Miranda wanted her opinion. She looked up from her folder she was working on and smiled towards Miranda.

"Sure Miranda let me see." She said leaning very close. Miranda closed her eyes and inhaled the heady mix of Andrea's perfume and nature scent. Since Andy was sitting next to her she was oblivious to this.

"Oh, I think the headline is too small and color wise it's a bit too dark. Since it's about summer fashion trends.. Well at least that's what I think."

"Hmmm true, very good Andrea. I am so impressed with what you've learned. You have a very well trained eye for the design of Runway magazine." She quickly added a note to that page with Andy's changes on it.

"Thank you so much Miranda. I had the privilege to learn from the very best." Andy beamed at her.

"Sweet talker." Was all Miranda said smiling at her.

They continued working when Miranda decided to take a nap. "Andrea you should get some rest too. I think we've worked enough."

"I am almost finished with the last shows notes and then I will join you. Uhm…I mean then I will get some rest too."

Miranda loved how nervous she got around her. She soon fell into a peaceful slumber and so did Andy once she finished.

After a while they both were woken up by the stewardess.

"We need you to sit up straight and put your seatbelts on. We have some turbulences coming up due to bad weather."

Miranda was annoyed but did as she was told as did Andy next to her. Andy was so tired she fell right back to sleep after she put the seatbelt on. Miranda looked at her in awe. She looked so precious sleeping. Miranda raised her hand and almost traced the girl's lips when she realized what she was about to do. She pulled back her hand and caressed her own lips.

Suddenly the turbulences worsened. Everyone sat down even the flight attendants sat with their seat belts on. Andy woke with a start and frantically looked around.

"This can't be good." She whispered but Miranda heard her.

"Listen Andrea it will be all good. Just some bad weather once we are through it will be fine."

Andy started breathing quicker which Miranda realized. She took her hand and caressed it.

"Shhh it's gonna be alright."

Suddenly the plane jolted and it felt like they were falling down in mid air. People began to scream for help. Andy quickly grabbed ahold of her boss and held onto her for dear life, and vice versa. Now Miranda was frightened as well.

They hugged each other.

"Oh my god Miranda I'm so scared." She said in the crook of her neck.

"Me too darling. I don't want it to end like this….my girls…oh my god." Suddenly the plane went up a bit again but it was still very shaky. They were scared for their lives and Andy didn't say anything more she just held Miranda and cried. The plane jolted again massively and once again people screamed. They held each other even tighter.

Miranda had to make sure Andrea knew how she felt. If they were to die this way then at least she had to know the truth.

"Andrea, darling, look at me for a second." Andy looked up with tears streaming down her face.

"Andrea in case we don't make it.. I want you to know that I love you, darling. I've loved you for quite some time." Andy's eyes grew wide before reaching up and grasping ahold of the woman's iconic silver hair then kissing the life out of her as a response.

"I love you too like I can't even tell you how much." Andy said and clung to her again still fearing for their lives. Suddenly the lights went out on the entire plane.
