So this one is just about their plane ride to California. I'll start writing about their actual Disneyland trip in the next chapter. Let me know what you think :) -B

Sherlock and John got seated on the plane and made themselves comfortable for the long flight ahead of them. Sherlock looked over at John, smiling at the excitement the smaller man was bubbling with. John looked at Sherlock and smiled reaching over and holding his hand. After everyone was seated the flight attendants made an announcement and the plane got ready for take-off. Suddenly John realized Sherlock was shaking and his hands were sweating.
"Sherlock, are you nervous?"
"No, of course not, I'm completely fine." Sherlock's voice was shaking though and John knew that he was lying.
"Have you ever flown before Sherlock?"
"Yes, maybe... No." Sherlock looked down guiltily.
"It's fine Sherlock, it's ok to be nervous, I was nervous on my first flight too." John smiled at Sherlock and gave his hand a squeeze of reassurance. The plane sped up and started down the runway, Sherlock's hand grabbed onto John's squeezing it harder by the second. Finally the plane took off, leaving the ground. Sherlock relaxed his hand, breathing out a sigh of relief.
"See that wasn't so bad, was it?"
Sherlock shook his head and smiled.
"Thank you John."
It had been only an hour before Sherlock couldn't contain himself any longer.
"Bored", he sighed out looking over at John who was reading a book. John laughed and handed a bag to Sherlock.
"I thought this might happen, I brought you some stuff to keep you busy."
Sherlock opened the bag and pulled out a map.
"What's this?"
"It's a map of Disneyland and California Adventure park, I thought that you could plan out what we should do each day."
Sherlock nodded and then reached into the bag again, pulling out a rubix cube.
"A child's toy John? Really?"
"It's a lot harder then you'd expect, I'd like to see you try it."
Sherlock gave a John a smile that clearly said "challenge accepted."
He got right to work and stayed silent and distracted for another half hour.
"Johnnnn", Sherlock groaned out throwing the rubix cube over to John's lap. "I can't figure it out, it must be broken."
John laughed and then picked up the rubix cube, getting to work. In less than a minute John finished, handing the finished rubix cube over to Sherlock. Sherlock just stared a John with complete surprise, his mouth falling open.
"I am good at some things", John said with a smile. The flight was quite long but John's bag of distractions for Sherlock was working well. By the time the announcement came on that they were getting ready to land Sherlock had:
-Planned their schedule everyday in Disneyland and California Adventure
-Memorized the layout of the park and where every ride, bathroom, and food locations were
-Finally figured out how to solve the rubix cube
-Read 10 magazines
-Slept
-Counted John's hairs (or attempted to)
- Try to create an experiment
-Deduced everyone on the plane
-And much more
When the plane finally landed everyone was eager to get to their feet and stretch their legs. As Sherlock and John waited for their luggage and a cab, Sherlock remained thoroughly distracted by the people and culture of the new country they were in. They got in a cab and both started laughing at how strange it was that being in a car and driving down the road was so opposite compared to London. They were also pleasantly surprised by the warmer climate in California compared to what they had been dealing with in London. When they arrived at the hotel they went straight to bed, knowing their next few days would be busy. As they laid in bed Sherlock noticed John humming.
"What song are you humming John?"
"It's called "It's a Small World", it's from a ride in Disneyland"
"Hmm, I guess I'll find out soon enough."
"I guess you will", John said as they both drifted off to sleep.
