Chapter 2 – Plane Journey
"That's it then, were off." Jen said, sitting down as the coach started with a deep purr. By now, everyone was dressed in holiday themed clothing. Jen had a blue short sleeved shirt tucked in her light grey ripped jeans. Noah, a dark grey tee with bleach blue shorts. Snow, a thin, frilly white, cropped shirt with light blue dip died shorts. And Dark, a classic blue palm print shirt, light brown shorts and sunglasses on the top of his head. The rest of them were dressed in pretty much the same attire.
The journey was long and mostly boring. During the journey Foxy had fallen asleep, his mouth agape. Snow, as the fat shit she is, opened a pack of sweets from the back of the coach and found a new way to entertain herself while Dark leant on her shoulder snoring in a deep sleep. One by one she threw the sweets at Foxy, trying to get one into his mouth.
"Oi, mate. Giv us a go" Umber snickered, taking a sweet from Snow. She took aim before throwing the sweet and getting a direct hit into Foxy's mouth. He woke up in a fit of choking before swallowing the soft sweet.
"HAHAH, BULLSEYE" Umber shouted in a giddy tone. Snow giggled along with her.
The others turned around to see what was happening, witnessing Umber and Snow in a fit of girly giggles. Foxy obviously wasn't amused by the whole event, crossing his arms and facing to the window.
"Sorry Fox." Snow whispered, handing him a good handful of sweets to apologise. He took them of course.
The journey seemed to go on and on. Eventually, everyone except Foxy and Noah fell into a quiet sleep. Snow had cuddled up to Dark, Umber turned herself around and lay on the spare seat next to her, Vixey was lay on the window and Jake the same. At the front, Noah sat awkwardly as Jen leaned lightly on him, also asleep. All he could think of was to take her hand in his and rest it on her lap. He stared out of the window as scenery went by in a fast buzz of greens, greys and blues.
"You doing good?" Foxy asked the blonde quietly, making sure not to wake anyone.
"Huh, yeah… yeah Im good. And you?" Noah replied. He seemed a little quiet, more than his usual self.
"Yeah, as good as I'll ever be." Foxy answered. "You having trouble with relationships?"
Noah fell silent.
"Listen, just go for it. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't then it doesn't. I've known Jen for a while and she's definitely different around you, I think you've got a good chance." Foxy said trying to reassure him.
Noah made a sound of understanding, still silent however.
"You'll know the right moment when it comes lad." Foxy said before shuffling himself back to face the window.
After a long while, they had finally made it to the private airport. Jen stood back up on the coach.
"Alright, were here. Were going to get out and have a small rest before we set out on the flight. If anyone is asleep wake them up." She said, getting out of the coach.
Just as they got on, they all filed out of the coach and into the private airport. Every one of them sat down in the seating area while Jen was at the main desk sorting out the tickets, Noah obviously by her side. After a good while of waiting for the receptionist to sort out the flight and the tickets they finally had access to board. Jen made her way back to the main waiting area where they all sat talking to one another, well, some of them.
"Alright, everyone. I've sorted out the tickets and were allowed to board whenever. So, if anyone wants to buy anything go now, if people need the bathroom go now, if people need to get food or what not, go now. Meanwhile, I need someone to help with the luggage." Jen commanded.
"I c-can help." Noah pitched up, wanting to show how manly he is by offering to get the luggage.
"Alright, cmon then" Jen whispered, walking back to the entrance, Noah following behind like a child with their mother.
The other animatronics made their way over to the boarding area. Outside the window was a medium sized, glossy black plane parked upon the runway connected up to the boarding tunnel they were about to walk through. The windows and doors were rimmed with a gold colour and the wings held two large jets and had a little flick at the end. Snow and Dark were the first ones to board the plane, trailing down the long tube to the plane's door. Inside the plane were cream leather seats, each fitted with its own footrest, table and TV. Down the isle was a red carpet, and the roof was fitted with small circular, ice-white lights.
"They really did go all out with this.." Dark muttered, stunned by the posh plane.
"Make the most of it" Snow giggled, brushing past him, eager to be seated.
Snow chose the seats in the middle, yet closer to the front of the plane rather than the back. Foxy sat across from Snow and Dark with two empty seats infront of him. The two seats infront of Dark and Snow had been kept empty for Noah and Jen. Behind Foxy sat Umber and across from her was Jake. Finally, right at the back sat Vixey who didn't seem to be enjoying herself up to now.
Outside of the plane Jen and Noah were helping the driver load the last of the suitcases. The heaviest being Dark and Snow's. Once they had done, Jen and Noah made their way back to the airport entrance and to the boarding tube joining the rest in the luxury plane. They both settled themselves at the front, Jen next the window and Noah at the end. After a couple minutes, the door automatically lifted back up, closing them all in. Straight away Dark turned on the TV, while Snow was lay on him trying to see what he was watching. Without the plane even starting, Noah was already having a panic attack since he had a major fear of planes and heights. Jen shuffled herself closer to him, trying her best to comfort him. The plane then started with an immediate wave of vibration before becoming still again. They were finally off.
The black plane slowly shifted down the runway, gathering speed before lifting slowly into the air. Then the turbulence started. The plane began to shake slightly, since it was a high end plane the turbulence wasn't as bad as a normal airliner. It was however still enough to make Noah grip tight onto the chair like a frightened cat.
"Cmon Noah, its only turbulence don't worry." Jen spoke softly.
"FUCK OFF." Noah screamed, his mind white with fear. "I MEAN NO, DON'T FUCK OFF. I DIDN'T MEAN THAT. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING." He tried to right himself.
Jen laughed at him, taking his hand in hers which calmed him down just a little. Once they had broke past the turbulence the flight became instantly smoother and they were soon high above the ground on their journey.
A few hours had past and by now they were all the way flying over the Pacific Ocean. The skies were practically clear and the sun shimmered gently over the calm waters below. As before, most of the passengers were asleep, this time except for Jen, Noah Foxy and Snow. Snow's seat was just in front of the wing of the plane and she stared out into the scenic view below them. Out of the blue, a loud crack could be heard, it sounded like it was from the plane. Immediately this woke the rest of them up.
"YE FUCKEN BASTARD PUT EM UP AYE" Dark yelled, standing up in his chair, as he was woken by the sound.
"What the fuck was that?" Umber questioned, half asleep.
"It's nothing, it will be fine." Jen said calmly, trying to help the situation.
"Guys…" Snow whispered.
"It didn't sound like nothing." Foxy chirped up.
"I'LL FUCK EM UP HOWS ABOUT IT" Dark was still yelling, obviously more asleep than awake.
"Guys…" Snow whispered again, slightly louder this time.
"Can we call just calm the fuck down, it was nothing." Jen spoke, her tone getting more aggravated with the rabble.
"So what? That noise just came out of nowhere in the middle of THE FUCKING OCEAN?" Foxy yelled becoming more aggressive, mixed with nervousness.
"WELL BEING A BABY BITCH WONT HELP US WILL IT NOW?" Jen piped up.
"FOR FUCK SAKES. GUYS WILL YOU ALL SHUT YOUR FUCKING FACES FOR ONE SECOND AND MAYBE I'D BE ABLE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING WHICH SEEMS RATHER IMPORTANT… fucking hell." Snow shouted, before calming back down.
"WHAT?" Jen, Foxy, Umber and Dark all shouted at once, directed at the white fox.
"I'm no mechanic but.. I'm preeeetty sure, a plane's engines shouldn't just have broken off like that." She said again, going back to a whisper.
"Well, no. What do you think." Jen said sarcastically.
"WAIT WHAT?" Noah stuttered, gripping tighter onto Jens hand, making her fingers turn a blue/purple colour.
Just as the plane turned silent once more the whole thing started to shake violently. The plane suddenly lost all movement and started to fall downwards towards the ocean below. The overhead speaker then turned on with a message.
'MAYDAY, MAYDAY. THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING, WE ARE GOING DOWN. I REPEAT WE ARE GOING DOWN. PLEASE STAY SEATED AS WE EXECUTE AN EMERGENCY LANDING.'
And the speaker cut off.
The shaking became more violent, the force of the plummet was that strong that soon the wings ripped off like a piece of paper.
"HOLY SHIT WERE ALL GONNA DIE" Noah screamed a girly scream, clenching onto Jen's hand even harder now.
As if it couldn't get worse, there was another loud crack and the plane started breaking up. A huge lightning-shaped crack went along the width of the plane eventually parting and causing the wingless body to snap into two separate pieces. Foxy reached his hand out to the people in the back end which was now floating further and further away. It was no use, the back end of the plane had been totally disconnected along with Umber, Jake and Vixey. This was it, the plane was near to the surface below now. Snow hugged tight onto Dark's chest, shaking with the fear and he wrapped himself around her, one hand gripping onto the seat infront. Jen and Noah did exactly the same, thinking it would be the last time they would be this close. Foxy held onto the seat infront, bracing himself for the landing just to come.
Expecting the salty ocean water to consume them, the plane's front landed with an extremely loud thud and a crash.
Then everything turned to darkness.
