The gang boarded the Sodor Airlines plane, and were greeted by the captain of the plane upon entering the coach seating area.
"Good day folks." said the captain politely. "We have upgraded your seats to business class."
Everyone was excited they had received upgraded seats.
"If you can just follow me please..."
"Ask if this is costing us extra." whispered Caitlin. "My mom will flip if she finds out that we got business class for a fee."
"Excuse me sir." asked Nick to the captain. "Is this costing us extra?"
"Not at all." replied the captain. "Our main priority at Sodor Airlines is to make sure that all of our passengers are treated with respect."
"Thanks so much." said Nick.
"Not a problem." replied the captain as he walked back towards the cockpit.
Nick then sat next to Caitlin.
"Julia is going to sit here." explained Caitlin.
"Does that mean I'll have to sit by myself?" asked Nick.
"Why don't you sit with Lauren?" suggested Caitlin.
Lauren turned to Caitlin, but didn't say a word.
"Promise me you'll sit with me on the flight home, and I'll sit with Lauren."
"Okay." replied Caitlin.
Nick then moved over to the next seat, Lauren was looking at one of the free in-flight newspapers.
"What is that?" asked Lauren.
"That's a British tabloid called The Sun.
"A British what?"
"It's a newspaper."
"Forget it. Anyways, why are you sitting here?"
"Because Caitlin told me too."
"Can you..."
But before Lauren could finish, the safety video began.
Soon, the plane had taken off, and the gang was on their way to Sodor.
On the way to Sodor, Nick thought about how much he liked Lauren, even though Caitlin was his biggest crush.
Then, he asked Lauren a question.
"Lauren, do you believe in true love?"
Lauren glanced up from the newspaper.
"Why are you asking me that?"
"Because…"
Nick then whispered the rest to Lauren.
"I have a crush on someone."
Lauren smirked, but quickly turned back to her newspaper.
"When you are finished, can I read it?" asked Nick.
"I'm finished with it anyway." said Lauren as she handed the paper to Nick.
Nick turned to the sports page, where there was a really great article about Liverpool FC in the front.
"Hey Lauren, look at this. It predicts that Liverpool has the best chance of winning the Premier League out out of all the top 4 teams."
"Nobody cares." said Lauren. "You're the only person at the school on the hill who cares about soccer in general.
"But where we're going, everyone cares about soccer. It's their national sport. They call it football over in Sodor.
"Anyway." said Lauren, "who do you have a crush on?"
Nick just sat in silence, showing a smirk.
"You're kidding me, right? You have crush on me, huh?"
Nick didn't say a word, until Lauren snapped her fingers towards Nick.
"No."
"Good. Remember, you're way too old to go out with me."
"I know. The person who I have a crush on is a senior.
"You need to focus on seniors, and not sophomores like me and Caitlin.
"That makes me wonder, what's Caitlin doing right now?"
Caitlin wasn't looking happy at all. She was upset because Katie wasn't replying to her texts.
"This is the seventh text I've sent her, and she hasn't answered any of them! She usually responds within seconds."
"Don't get mad Caitlin." said Julia, trying to prevent Caitlin from having a meltdown. "She'll respond soon."
"Soon?! By the time she responds, we'll already be home from Sodor! And then Katie will say what a great time she had, and I'll have to respond back that we had a terrible trip!"
"Just calm down." said Julia nicely.
So Caitlin sent Katie another text, but there was no response.
Now Caitlin was angry. She began banging her feet against her seat, screaming…
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! WHY ISN'T KATIE RESPONDING BACK!"
Everyone stared weirdly at Caitlin, even Nick, Lauren and Beth.
One of the flight attendants came over to see what the problem is.
"Do we have to make an emergency landing?" asked the flight attendant.
"Not at all." replied Julia. "She's just upset that her friend hasn't texted her back."
"Upset?! I'm angry!" screamed Caitlin.
"Maybe if Nick comes over to sit with you, you'll feel better."
"Fine."
So Nick went over to sit with Caitlin, and Julia went to sit with Lauren.
The rest of the flight went well. Caitlin remained quiet.
Before the flight was about to land, Nick asked Caitlin the same question about true love.
"I once had a boyfriend named Jared. But our relationship was shaky, so I broke up with him."
"Was he upset?" asked Nick.
"Not at all." replied Caitlin. "He was mostly quiet about it."
Then, an announcement came over the airplane's PA system.
"We have now landed at Sodor Airport. Thank you for flying with us, and we hope to see you on the flight back home."
Everyone got off the plane, and the gang was excited to start their spring break vacation in Sodor.
