Hey guys! Sorry for such a late update. My partner in crime, square1994 did some big time writing, so if you don't like this chapter, blame her not me hehe. Anyway, hope you like it!
Chapter 4
Ellie's plane ride was dull and boring and tiring. It was a good thing she didn't have to sit next to that dude in the aisle making the guy across from her uncomfortable because the guy next to him was snoring in his face. Poor guy. Looked like he didn't want to to disturn the sleeping man next to him but he couldn't sleep himself. Or sitting next to the lady in the back who was laughing apparently to the most "hilarious" movie known to man.
On the plus side, at least she had a view while she was listening to Dead Hand. The landscaping was so beautiful outside the window with all of the lights shining so brightly from down below. It was peaceful to Ellie. With a smile of contentment on her face, she fell fast asleep.
After several hours passed, Ellie woke up to Dead Hand still blasting in her ears and her neck felt stiff. She then heard a faint voice on the intercom.
"Good Morning, Passengers. This is your pilot speaking. We have approximately four hours until landing. We will be expecting cloudy weather when we meet our destination. Thank you for your cooperation." Click.
Ellie's stomach started growling constantly. Okay, time for breakfast Ellie thought. Luckily the cabin crew were setting up for it just in time.
She saw one crew member serving the food while pushing a cart. Once the lady arrived to Ellie's seat, she gave a warm, welcoming smile.
"Hello, M'am. Would you like scrambled eggs or blueberry pancakes?"
"Blueberry pancakes, please."
"Okay, which juice would you like to drink?"
"Apple juice."
"Alright, here you go. Enjoy."
"Thank You."
Ellie was content when she eyed the scrumptious pancakes with bread on the side and apple juice. She picked up her fork and chewed away. Ehh... scrumptious looking, but okay tasting she thought. Then she thought of the cabin lady and how true her smile was and how enthusiastic she was on the job. Unlike the hag back in Florida , she thought.
She was about done with her food in ten minutes. There was about three hours and forty five minutes until landing. She was getting extremely bored. What she hates the most about plane rides: limited things to do. All she can do now to kill the time remaining was to sleep. So she did.
The sleeping man in the aisle eventually woke up into the other guy's shoulder. The sleeping man froze for a second, embarrassed because he never meant to disturb the other guy. Or did he?
"You make a good pillow," he said to the other guy while patting him on the shoulder to ensure that he is complimenting him. The other guy's face stiffened while making a facial expression that clearly showed he was disturbed.
Three hours turned into ten minutes after Ellie woke up from her refreshing nap. She heard the intercom sound again.
"Good afternoon, passengers. This is your pilot again. We have approximately ten minutes before landing, please stay in your seats and keep your seatbelts fastened. Thank you for your cooperation." Click.
Ellie looked out the window. The houses, roads, trees, and everything around them were much more visible as the plane was slowly descending from the sky. Quite fascinating to see. Here she is, in another country. Canada to be specific. She could see that it was not much of a difference from the U.S. Same looking environment, same looking people. The only difference is that it's Canada.
The plane finally descended onto the ground while Ellie felt some slight queeziness from the landing. The plane then halted to a stop. Most of the passengers sighed of relief. The intercom sounded one last time.
"Hello passengers. Please wait patiently as we open the exit door of the plane. Also, remember to pick up ALL of your carry-on luggage. We hope to had a pleasant trip and you should consider flying with us again. Thank you." Click.
Ellie and her family opened one of the cabins in which contained all of their carry-on luggages. They took down each piece of their luggage one by one. Once they were done, Ellie's father Colonel Nash smiled. "Excited Ellie? This is a fresh new start for all of us while we're in Canada."
Ellie gave back a slight smirk. She did not know how to correctly respond to this statement. Sure, this is a new start. But how can she be positive about it being good or not?
"I know it will be hard at first," said her father with a comforting tone. "But things will turn out better later. If not, Mom and I will help you through your struggle. I promise."
Ellie nodded not knowing what her father meant by that.
The passengers were all waiting in line to get out of the plane, but it didn't take that long. The Nash family finally got out of the plane in no time.
They got to the airport and looked around for signs and directions to the baggage claim. They then got their baggage, checked them out of the airport, and got a taxi.
The taxi dropped off the Nash family at their new home. The cloudy weather still remains the same but their new home was astonishingly beautiful. The neighborhood seemed to be rather calm and friendly as well. They unloaded the luggage from the trunk of the taxi and thanked the taxi for the ride. They walked up to the porch of the house and opened the door. The inside of the house was just as beautiful as the outside. Polished wooden floors, dining room partly furnished, living room has a fluffy looking carpet. Overall, the house looks nice. It just needs a couch and some decor. The parents suggested Ellie to check out her new bedroom.
Ellie then went upstairs to her room. She was nervous as to how it was going to look like. She was at first hesitant to open the door but she finally opened the door. After she opened the door, she froze for a second. The color of the wall was red with a basic looking dresser and mirror. The closet was lying on the right side of the room. It almost reminded her of the room back in Florida, but she tried to get over the fact that it did look like it because it is a new start. She walked to the window and looked outside. The cloudy weather turned sunny within an hour after the family was unpacking their belongings. The sun rays shined down on the trees so bright. She at least had a few days to enjoy her spring vacation to walk around and get to know this neighbor, and the next week she would be at her new school. And if things get a bit rocky, her parents will help her through it. Not much of a bad start, things will be alright, just have hope.
Please review! Next two chapters are big time chapters dedicated to Eli, just what you guys have been waiting for yay! :D
