Chapter 2: Plane Rides

Hey Guys! Thanks for all the reviews and Favorite author/story alerts! I didn't have the best day today and they made me feel all warm and happy! Haha, if you're a writer you know what I mean.

Anyway, disclaimer! Don't own Twilight, never did never will :( it's sad but true. Anyway, enjoy!

EmPOV

Ah, today was the day. We were leaving Phoenix and moving to dreary Forks, WA. I'd say at least it's only a year, but that would be lying. We all knew that our parents were going to just fall in love with one place or another while they were on their cruise. One year would turn into two, and so on. But at least for me it didn't matter that much. I loved my parents but I hardly saw them at all so not seeing them at all but hearing their voices is actually an improvement. It was 5:00 AM when we had to get up, because our plane was leaving at 7:30 AM. I was exhausted, and so was Bella, but Ali was wide awake. I swear she never runs out of energy.

"Hey, can we stop for some coffee?" I heard Bells mumble from the backseat. She was probably the only one in our family who could drink coffee without freaking out and getting all hyper, but it was Alice. She was always hyper, but decided that she should try coffee. That was 2 years ago when we were 15. Never again will we let Alice anywhere near coffee. Apparently in Bella's morning state that thought never occurred to her.

"Of course Bells," said Alice sympathetically, "maybe I should get some coffee too." My eyes widened and I was about to start yelling at Alice to remember last time when Bella beat me to it.

"Alice, remember last time you had coffee? You almost burned the house down. Let's make sure that you and Emmy stay away from all caffeinated drinks for the time being." said Bella, trying not to give in to Alice's puppy-dog eyes. While they usually worked, we all got all of our TV, computer, and phone privileges taken away for a month. While it didn't bother Bella all too much, it certainly bothered me and Alice. I saw Alice shudder to the left of me and figured that she was probably thinking of the same thing that I was.

In the end Bella and I went to get coffee and breakfast while Alice checked all of our bags. While she may look small and sweet, it isn't so sweet when she shows up at the airport with ten bags and no money. I had to give Bella 40 bucks for breakfast and run to help Alice pay for her overabundance of luggage. I glared at her while I handed the bag-checker (what are they called?) my credit card and ID. That was the last time that I was leaving her in charge of something that important. When we got back to where I had left Bella, she was sitting there with an alert expression and a bagel in hand. When I said she was the only one who could handle coffee... She's the one that handles it the best, not well though.

"Um Bells? You ready to get on our flight? I think I just heard them call it," I said, noticing the announcement come over the PA system. It was also about seven o'clock, but that didn't necessarily mean that I had lied or anything. There was an announcement I swear.

"Yeah Em, I heard it too. Can we break out some of the candy?" that was Alice, ever hopeful for some kind of sugar rush.

"Let's at least wait until we get on the plane," I said exasperatedly, trying to be the voice of reason in this situation. So far it wasn't really working that well. These were my girls though, stubborn and strong-willed.

"Emmy please," they said in unison, giving me that look. You know the one, where they look so brokenhearted that you can't help but give them what they want. It always works on me. Just like the puppy dog eyes. Ugh I am such a softie.

"Fine, you can have your candy," I said, reluctantly handing them the bag. They paid for the candy, so I guess they can do what they want with it. Even though we're all technically the same age I'm still the oldest. I always think of them as my baby sisters, and I would readily beat up anyone who ever hurt them. Even though to them I'm like a big teddy bear, I can be quite frightening to anyone else.

"That's our flight!" squealed Bella, grabbing Alice's hand and running toward the gate. This was the time when they were best friends- when Bella was high on sugar or caffeine.

I looked at the two giggling girls and then down at their bags by my feet. I groaned as I lifted the bags. Not so much because they were heavy- which they were, Alice had magazines and Bella had books. Not to mention their laptops- but because I was stuck carrying the bags at all.

"Girls, I hope you realize that to board a plane, you have to have tickets," said an impatient looking flight attendant. I looked around and realized that we were the last ones to board the plane. I looked down at the tickets I was holding and then ran up beside them.

"Sorry, I've got their tickets right here," I said, handing the tickets to her. She smiled when she saw me, a little too much now that I think of it.

"That's perfectly all right. Would you mind me asking why you didn't board first?" asked the flight attendant, continuing when she saw our confused expressions, "your seats are first class. That's where I'm working today." She smiled flirtatiously after that. I groaned inwardly and pretended not to notice. I saw Bella and Alice exchange smiles and guessed that they noticed too.

"Anyway, thanks for all your help," I said, grabbing our ticket stubs and running. There was something very annoying about people like that girl. I saw Bella blow a kiss at her and then ran up behind me and Alice. She and Ali giggled like 14-year-olds and ran ahead of me, grabbing there ticket stubs on the way.

Turns out, we were the only three in first class, so we got to sit wherever we wanted. Bella stretched out and quickly fell asleep, Alice not long behind her. Great, they had left me to defend myself against the overzealous blond flight attendant.

"Is there anything I can get you?" she asked coming out of wherever flight attendants go while the plane is in the air. I shook my head, then turned and pretended to be admiring the view. I never noticed how interesting clouds were before now.

"I'll take an OJ," I heard Bella say, causing the flight attendant, whose name I learned was Tanya, to turn to face her.

"Ok," said Tanya looking crestfallen. She sulked away and Bella winked at me.

"Thanks Bells, I owe you," I whispered just in case Tanya was still listening. Even though I didn't like her at all, I still didn't want to hurt her feelings.

"No problem. And because I really am thirsty, I'm not going to hold it against you," said Bella with a laugh. She really was an awesome sister. On the good days at least.

"Hey, look out the window, I think we're almost there," Bella said to me. I turned and looked, but all I could see were clouds.

"Why do you say that? All I can see is clouds," I said, not understanding until Bella laughed.

"Exactly, have you ever seen this many clouds? They're every where!" she giggled again, her excitement contagious. While I wasn't extremely excited to be heading to nowhere WA, I was excited to be with Bella and Alice. Plus, I hadn't seen Aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle in about 6 years. Maybe this could actually be fun.
