It had been a week since Amelia appeared on the cruise ship and they were not any closer to figuring out how to get her home. They were walking thru the airport about to take a flight home.
"Ready to see Vegas, Amelia?"
"I think so." She replied watching a woman drag her bags and a small child through the terminal.
"Well, the flight is going to be four hours and then we will be at my home in Las Vegas."
"I still am not understanding what we are doing here and how we are going to get there." Amelia said, replaying in her mind the conversation they had the night before.
"We are going to fly in the plane that is parked outside."
"Fly....in the air?"
"Yes. You are going to love it." Criss found himself smiling at her look of disbelief. In some ways it was like having a kid. Things seemed to be very different in Atlantis. Life sounded very simple, much like some of the Carribean villages he had visited in his travels.
"I thought we were never going to land." Costa grumbled as they stepped off the private jet.
The flight did not go as smoothly as Criss had hoped. Amelia's first flight was bumpy and she was freaked out from the first bump of turbulence.
"YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" She shrieked as they entered the gate. The chairs at the gate rattled and Amelia visibly calmed herself.
"Amelia, usually a flight is nice and smooth. There was just a lot of bad weather between us and Las Vegas. I swear I was not trying to kill you." Criss said calmly. There was something unusual about this girl. "Look you are in Las Vegas, safe and sound." He kept her moving towards the door. He had hoped to get out of the airport without much attention, but Amelia knew how to attract a crowd. After a few photos Criss and crew were inside the limo and headed to the Luxor. They pulled up to to hotel and filed out or the limo.
"We are staying in a pyramid?"
"Yeah. I live at the top."
"Finally, something that looks familiar." Amelia looked at all the glyphs on the walls. She followed Criss into the elevator and was amazed how long it took to reach the top of the pyramid. "Long way up."
"40 stories." She looked at him with a blank stare. "Nevermind. Welcome to your new home."
Amelia looked around. There were boxes with lights everywhere, making noises and whistles.
"They are games. I'll show you later." Criss grabbed her hand and showed her around the rest of the suite. He finally took her to the guest room. "This is your room." He showed her into a black and white decorated room. There was a large canopy bed, a desk with a laptop, and a dresser. She had a walk in closet and a bathroom of her own.
"It's beautiful." Amelia said turning to Criss. He walked her to the closet and she found some clothes hanging for her. "You didn't need to do that. You already got me some beautiful clothes."
"I got you three outfits. You are going to need more than that." Criss said smiling.
Criss left Amelia to enjoy her room and walked out to meet with his brothers. They were both exhausted from the trip and headed out, leaving Criss and Amelia alone in the suite. "Amelia?" Criss asked walking into her room. He stopped at the door frame. She had said she was going to unpack, but he didn't think that she would be doing it Mindfreak style. He watched as a drawer opened and a pair of pants floated to the drawer and it closed after them. She continued to unpack in the same manner.
"Hey Criss!" Amelia smiled at him as another shirt floated to a drawer. "I'm all unpacked."
Criss just looked at her.
"Criss!" She walked closer to him. 'Criss!' Boomed in his head.
"That was amazing."
"What? I was just cleaning up." She replied bouncing out the door.
