"I can't believe we are going to the mall!" Lindsay exclaimed happily, looking out the plane window.

"I know!" Sadie chimed in, "A fashion contest for a challenge! This is the best!"

"I know, right," Lindsay said, "You have great fashion, I hope you win."

"Oh," Sadie blushed, "So do you. I hope you win, too."

"Thanks," Lindsay smiled, "You know, you are just so cool. We should definitely hang out some time."

"Yeah, you're so right," Sadie agreed.

The two smiled and gazed out the window.

"We are so high up," Sadie said, "I wish Katie was here to see this."

Sadie looked down sadly and sobbed. She wiped her nose. In an attempt to blink away her tears, more started coming. She dropped her head in her hands and began sulking in a hysteria of cries.

"I miss Katie!" she sobbed.

Lindsay rubbed her back and wrapped her arms around Sadie.

"It's okay, don't cry," Lindsay insisted, "I'm sure Katie misses you, too, but she would want you to be happy even without her. Think of how proud she'll be if you win this challenge!"

Lindsay let Sadie rest her head on her shoulder. She continued rubbing her back, but the waterworks continued.

"Hey girl," LeShawna snapped angrily, "You better put away those tears. At least you get to give Trent a makeover. Me and Beth can't even participate!"

Lindsay grumbled and threw the stink eye at LeShawna. Her words had made Sadie cry even more.

"Leave Sadie alone!" Lindsay barked, "This is the first time she has ever been away from Katie and it's really hard for her!"

LeShawna pursed her lips, snapped her fingers and turned back around to talk with Beth. Still on Lindsay's shoulder, Sadie sniffled and slowly lifted her head.

"Thanks," she sniffed twice.

Lindsay just smiled and hugged Sadie.

"You know, if I win the big prize at the end," Sadie said, "I'm going to invite you. I know it's supposed to be a date, but I'd rather bring a friend."

"Aw, thanks, same here," Lindsay smiled.

"You're so nice," Sadie grinned, "Let's be best friends."

"Yay! Best friends forever!" Lindsay exclaimed.

They exchanged hugs, but broke free suddenly when a scream broke the air. The plane was starting to descend slowly.

"Campers, we will be landing in 30 minutes," Chris announced over the loud speaker.

A few people shouted in joy, but Owen and Izzy just screeched again.

Clinging to each other in the plane's only bathroom, Owen and Izzy tried gulping down their fear.

"At least there are no windows in here," Owen struggled to say.

"Yeah," Izzy agreed.

Her eyes had remained closed since they had boarded the plane. Owen had been watching the leaky sink drip to try to keep his mind off the idea that they were high in the air. Suddenly the bathroom door slammed open. Heather stood over them.

"Who's there?" Izzy asked, blind and afraid.

"Can you dweebs get out of the bathroom, I have to pee," Heather said, putting her hands on her hips.

"Can't you hold it?" Owen asked.

"Oh, Chris!!" Heather shouted.

Out of the pilot's door, Chris emerged.

"Time to get out, guys," he said as he pulled Izzy and Owen out by their shirt collars.

Izzy refused to open her eyes. The rest of the campers stared as she hurdled into a ball.

"It's sooo high up here, isn't it?" Duncan teased.

"Ah!" Izzy screamed as her eyelids whipped open and she looked out the window.

She re-shut her eyes and rolled to the back of the plane, letting Owen's large body crush her so that she couldn't see outside.
