Kurda tapped his foot impatiently and was just about to call off the trip when several vampires burst through the door in a jumble of bags and suite cases. "Ok line up with your bags and I will hand out the travel tickets!" Kurda yelled. To his surprise, everyone formed a crooked line before him with the smallest of fights where Paris fell over Harkat's bag. While everyone was at least half focused on him, Kurda handed everyone their tickets.

"Cool we're going on a plane!" yelled Darren as he examined his ticket.

"No! You are not getting me on one of those flying death traps again!" Larten said and threw his ticket at Kurda. Sighing, Kurda ignored him and carried on talking.

"Has everyone got everything?" he asked. "Mika! Stop punching Arrow!" Mika looked up from where he had tackled Arrow to the floor.

"But he took my ticket!" Mika yelled and pointed an accusing finger at Arrow.

"It doesn't matter! They're all the same! Please can we just get going?" Kurda said exasperated. Mumbling darkly, Mika gave Arrow a filthy look, picked up his bags and followed Kurda out the door.

After a clumsy journey full of flitting, fighting and dirty looks, the group finally arrived at the airport.

Darren looked around him and grinned. The airport reminded him of the holidays he used to go on with his family when he was human. Paris and Harkat were having a competition to see who could trip up the most unsuspecting humans who walked past. "All passengers for flight number 445 please make your way to the departure gate!" a woman announced. There was a small pause before everyone rushed to the gate. "Wait for me! I need-" Kurda was cut off by Mika and Arrow half carrying-half dragging him towards their flight.

"C'mon blondie! No time to chat! We gotta get to our flight! The lady said so!" Arrow said mimicking Kurda.

"But my hat!" Kurda wailed and pointed to his designer hat he'd dropped.

"Here's a new hat blondie" Mika said and shoved a plastic bag onto Kurda's head.

The whole group somehow managed to get on the plain without any injuries or without losing anything. Mika and Arrow sat together then Paris and Larten. Behind them were Harkat and Darren. Kurda was left to sit on his own. "Hey I want the window seat!" Arrow yelled to Mika.

"No. It's mine" Mika said stubbornly. Arrow puffed himself up ready to fight Mika for the seat when Kurda stopped him.

"Arrow just take my seat!" he said exasperated. Happily, Arrow went and sat by the all-important window while Kurda sat next to Mika.

"Great now I'm stuck next to you blondie for the whole journey" Mika would have said more when the plane started moving. Paris curled himself up in his seat and was shaking slightly.

"Scared Sire?" Larten smirked although he too was a little nervous as the plane went higher and higher into the sky. Suddenly, something flew over the seat and hit poor Paris on the head. Laughter erupted from the seats behind him as Paris as he plucked a peanut from his grey hair. He flicked it off then settled down into his seat. A moment later another peanut hit him. Then another and another and finally the empty packet. Larten sighed to himself as Darren and Harkat continued tormenting the prince with various plane foods. This was going to be a long journey…
