The first thing Tony realized when he got on the plane was the giant snake. Correction the giant snake lady that was choking out somebody. He wanted to ask the person getting increasingly blue if he was alright but didn't really know how to approach the man. So gathering every bit of confidence he walked over and asked "You ok?" to the guy.

The man responded but Tony couldn't understand what he was saying, it did sound Japanese but Tony didn't understand a single word.

The man sighed, took out his earbud and gave it to Tony. After several tries, much to the snake lady's delight he finally got it in. The man, kindly smiling then asked in Japanese again, but Tony surprisingly understood

"You haven't gotten this thing yet I see. Go to the flight attendant and she will give you one. I'm going to need that one back though, I still can't understand English well enough yet. My name is Kimihito, but please call me Kimi."

Tony laughed at the strange nickname but gave Kimi his earbud back and went up front to get his own. The flight attendant looked somewhat pissed about something. Tony did wonder if all flight attendants looked straight out of MIB though.

"Umm... Excuse me but I needed one of those earbuds that translate please?"

The lady turned around and looked like she was going to slap Tony, but stopped when she saw him.Tony looked shocked as she looked like she was drunk. Well not really all that shocked because he did have a couple of shots with his Dad before leaving. The lady handed him a earbud and waited for Tony to, yet again, fail multiple times to get the earbud in. after a solid minute Tony finally had it in. Tony did hear the snake lady laugh again but tried to ignore it. The MIB women, with a smug smile, then said "I see you already made friends."

"Well I don't see a guy being choked out by a lamia everyday where I'm from. What's your name by the way? "

"To answer the second question, call me Ms. Smith. And for the first statement where are you from?"

Tony slurred his words slightly but responded "I'm from the Midwest. I mostly see Centaurs and the such."

Ms.Smith gave a puzzled look at that statement. "Are you going the Elite School in Africa?"

"Yeah. It's pretty nice that my parents don't need to pay that much, but I heard it's the hardest school in the world."

Ms. Smith somehow looked even more confused but shrugged her shoulders. "Well go back to your new friends. Darling and Miia are a nice couple."

Now it was Tony's turn to look lost. Ms.Smith chuckled and rephrased her last sentence. "Sorry I meant Kimihito. His girlfriend, the Lamia, says that all the time and I mock him with the name now."

Tony laughed at that. He thanked Ms.Smith and walked back over to where Kimi and the now known Miia. He looked but couldn't see a spot directly next to the couple so chose the seat in front of the two. He saw something that made him scream like a girl. A head. Just a Blue head with unnaturally white hair. Tony heard that now annoying laugh behind him at full volume. Kimi looked panicked bit saw what I saw and sighed. Without a second thought he karate chopped the top of the head. The eyes opened up slowly as if it waking up.

"Lala where your body?" Kimi questioned

"Foolish mortal. My body walks the line of life and death."

Kimi looked her straight in the eyes and she sheepishly said "I have no idea. I lost it somewhere in the terminal."

Tony wonders what relationship these two have but Kimi just shakes his head.

"Tony this is Lala, she's a dullahan. I assume you know what that means."

Tony ponders for a second. "Like the Headless Horseman?"

"Ding ding ding" Kimi responses sarcastically

Here Lala speaks up again, but in a relatively normal fashion. "Please dont bring him up. Everyone says "Lala do you know him personally? Did he have a pumpkin head? Blah blah blah, I hate it!"

Miia laughed at this. "Last time someone asked that Lala had her Scythe and almost cut their head off before Darling stepped in."

'noted, don't talk about the Headless Horseman around Lala.' Tony thought

"Welp do you want me to help find your body before we take off?" Tony asked politely

"Foolish Mortal," Lala somewhat back to normal voice elaborated, "I need your body to sacrifice its energy to search the lands for it."

Kimi looked at her again and she once again spoke quietly, "Yes. Please do help. Bring my head with me so I can point it out."

Tony didn't expect that but gingerly picked up the head by the jaw bones. He stopped by the cockpit to see how long before final boarding.

"We can delay for 20 minutes after that we are leaving." the Co-pilot told Tony and Lala.

"Thank You" said Tony and hurried to find the body of Lala.

5 minutes later_

"So...ummm where were you last with your body?" Lala took a minute to think. She blushed slightly and said

" The Bathroom." Tony's face went cherry red. It was bad enough that he was getting the strange looks from people for carrying a head, and even had to shew away kids trying to mess with Lala's head. But that statement would be the death of him.

"Wait a minute," Tony starting thinking, which is never a good thing, " How did you leave the body, but still have your head?"

"The serpent took my head while I was..."

Tony caught what the was saying and continued to the bathroom.

'Maybe some small talk would be ok. I don't know though Lala seems introverted.' Tony thought

"So Lala where are you from?"

"The line between Life and Death" she somehow said with a small echo.

"Wait you're serious?!"

"Did you think the serpent was lying to you? She may be an airhead sometimes but never a lier." Lala finished with a Hmm.

" So you also have a scythe?"

"Yes." Lala replied almost bored.

"Where is it?'

Lala pondered that question before replying "In my carry on bag."

Tony would have spit out milk if he had any. He almost dropped Lalas head but recovered quickly. Now in front of the female bathroom, Tony's face heated up again.

"Do you remember what stall it was in?"

"The last one" Lala would not admit it out loud but she was nervous. She still didn't truly understand human standards yet, but judging by Tony's actions, Males do not go into Female rooms.

Tony was sweating bullets but walked in without a single care. Almost instantly the Females were yelling and calling him a perv. He tried to explain but they wouldn't listen. So he just walked to the last stall.

"Lala, can you make your body knock on the door so I don't walk into a random lady?"

"No problem Mortal. Give my corpal being a minute, it is quite slow without my head."

Sure enough some banging was heard from the stall. The body clearly struggled with a simple lock but managed. When Tony saw it he almost had a nose bleed. It was very Chuuni, and looked like the outfit was ripped straight out of a 12-Year- olds first OC, and the bust was quite large too.

" So how do you put on your head?"

"Watch this." Lala said smugly. Tony wondered if that was the only way Lala was going to respond to him. Lala's body took the head and made the head face the back, then with a sound that can only be described as crunching bones, Lala swiveled her head to face normally. A few of the women in the bathroom passed out and Tony probably would have joined them if he didn't look at the time. 2 minutes before the Co-pilot said the doors would close. Without thinking Tony grabbed Lala's hand and ran to the terminal before they shut the doors of the airplane.

"Well look at that you made it just in time" Ms.Smith said in a condescending type of way. Tony and Lala would respond sarcastically to that but they both were trying to catch their breath. Tony looked up to see that the plane was set up differently for Miia, instead of the 3 rows that were missing it looked more of a square shape of missing chairs with Miia coiled up in the center. Tony could just make out the shape of a body in the mass and assumed Kimi was suffocating.

"Miia I think Darling may need to breathe." With extra emphasis on Kimi's pet name. Miia realized that Tony was right and quickly uncoiled herself. Kimi shot up immediately and instantly sounded more out of breath than Tony and Lala. He looked for gis savoir and saw Tony. He bowed and repeated "Thank You Thank you thank you" several times. Tony was slightly embarrassed at the spectacle but just waved off the constant tanks of Kimi.

" It's no problem man," then looked at Miia "why did you almost kill your boyfriend?"

Miia look somewhat embarrassed but admitted "I hate flying. Especially after the 18 hours we flew from Japan to America."

Tony gave a surprised look but saw Kimi nodding his head. "We hit turbulence a couple of times and Miia almost ripped my arm off." Kimi said with slightly worried chuckel. Tony had the same laugh but sat next to Lala's head, which was in the middle seat and her body which was at the window seat. She was snoring and the plane hasn't even taken off yet. Tony still had many questions but decided to wait until Lala woke up.

Just before the plane was beginning to prepare to take off, Lala's body stood up by itself picked up the head and set it in it's lap, the body now in the middle seat. Tony tapped the shoulder and the body jumped a little. Lala's head still asleep.Tony carefully got the seat belt and buckled up Lala's body. The body somehow looked thankful and gave a thumbs up to Tony. Then leaned and used Tony's shoulder as a pillow. To say he was red was an understatement, but he just let it happen. Soon after take off Tony was sleeping just has hard as Lala.
