Sally followed Wufei across the large airport. "When's the flight?" she asked.
"An hour."
"What time is it now?"
"Three thirty."
"Oh." She yawned and nearly bumped into Wufei. "What?"
He shook his head at her. "Watch where you're going, woman." He grabbed her arm and steered her into one of the many little shops in the airport.
"Starbucks?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Yea. What do you want?"
Sally dropped her things next to her chair and sat down, stretching. "Latte." She started to reach for her wallet.
"I'll buy." Wufei said, and walked to the counter.
Shrugging, Sally made herself comfortable. Wufei came back a few minutes later with her latte. He had mocha. "Thanks," Sally said.
Fei sat down across from her and stretched.
"Wufei," Sally paused to yawn, "can't we just get a hotel and wait till there's an open flight?"
"No."
"The airport will pay for it, you know."
"Wufei nodded at something behind her. "There's a storm coming in, woman," he told her. "If we stay here, we'll probably be snowed in."
"Oh." She sighed. She'd rather be stuck here than fulfilling the mission she couldn't even remember right now. Sally yawned again. Could she stay awake for another hour? She rested her head against her arm. 'No.'
It felt like she was only asleep for five minutes when Wufei shook her awake. "Woman," he said, "it's time to board. Lets go." He grabbed her stuff for her and headed down towards the gate. She followed sleepily.
~~~~~
On the plane, Sally was asleep before Wufei had even finished putting his bag in the overhead compartment.
Wufei sat down and buckled the stupid belt that flight attendants get so cheesed about people not wearing. Then he settled down in the chair and closed his eyes. The flight would only be half an hour long, considering that the drive from Chicago to St. Louis is only five hours. He might as well get a little sleep.
This time, Sally was awake before Wufei. She heard the too-familiar beep of the seat-belt alert, and opened her eyes. Then she realized that she wasn't leaned up against the window. To her surprise, she was leaning against Wufei, who was sleeping soundly. She smiled. "Fei?" she yawned.
He made a noise in his throat.
"Fei?" She shook him gently. "Fei, we're landing."
He made another sound in his throat. It sounded like the first one, but slightly quieter, and it faded out.
Sally grinned. She knew it was his "I'm up. or not" sound. All the Gundam pilots had them. they seemed to have a wide array of sounds and monosyllables, but they weren't hard to figure out once you got to know the guys. "Fei." She tugged at his ponytail.
His eyes snapped open. "Woman," he growled, but his growl had a slightly sleepy edge to it, and she chuckled. "Meh. women." he muttered to himself.
The annoying, typical female flight-attendant voice came over the intercom. "Welcome to St. Louis International Lambert Airport. The temperature is currently 18 degrees Fahrenheit, with a slight wind chill. Stay warm, and enjoy your stay in St. Louis, Missouri!"

*Sigh. * I have too much time on my hands. Review please. I know these chapters could be better, but I'm lazy and bored (and want to post more so I get more people exposed to my stuff since nobody ever reads it *growls*), and since this flight is over, I decided that the chapter was, too. Next chapter: St. Louis Lambert Airport and then to Sac-Town. If anyone here knows where you can buy a life for under 5 bucks, please let me know.
