Authors Notes: same as chapter 2 I think. Except I know knotting about Australia and not much about travelling on an airplane either so please excuse any mistakes.
"abc" means speech.
abc means thoughts.
I think that is everything so on with the story.

Beech in Australia: Airplanes and Travel Sickness.
In Sun Hill the time is 9am (GMT). Claire, John, Stephen and Marion were at Heathrow Airport where they had agreed to meet the day before. They were waiting for their flight so that they could get Beech. In the waiting area they discussed what they were going to do when they got there.
"I think it would be best to book into a hotel first," said Stephen, "At least then we've got somewhere to leave our suitcases and we don't have to worry about finding one later. Then I suggest we go talk to the local police. Maybe they have seen him around town or something, if not we should at least be able to get them to give us a tour of the local criminal hotspots. With any look someone might have seen him, but lets not get our hopes up."
Suddenly the antenna came to life, "Flight 396 to Sydney airport is now boarding, flight 396 to Sydney."
The four made their way to the boarding gate and onto the plane. Once settled into their seats they watched the other passenger's board and waited for takeoff.
"I hate flying," mentioned Marion, "I always get airsick."
"You better not puke on me," stated Stephen, who was sitting next to her.
"I won't," she replied.
"I've never really been on a plane before, unless you count when I went on holiday to Spain when I was 3, but that was ages ago," said Claire.
"Really?" asks John, "My parents live in Spain, they moved there when they retired shortly after I joined Sun Hill, so I've been on a plane lots of times."
"I've only been on a plane a few times," said Stephen, "but I always fall asleep. Planes just make me sleepy."
"I agree," said John, "they make me sleepy too."
They didn't notice till then that the plane was now in the air. The announcement came over the antenna that it is now safe to move around the plane.
"I don't feel so good," moaned Marion, undoing her seatbelt and making her way to the toilet.
"Is she gonna be ok?" asked John.
"Yeah, I think so," said Stephen, "just airsickness."
"Speaking of airsickness," said Claire, getting up and heading towards the bathroom, "I'll be back in a bit."
"You don't think airsickness is catching do you?" asked Stephen.
"Don't think so," replied John.
"I'm going to sleep, wake me up when we get there."
"Ok."
The girls returned shortly after the boys had fallen asleep. 21 hours and several trips to the bathroom later, there plane touched down in Sydney, Australia.
