Chapter 9

"So we've missed our flight?" asked Amber. "Not necessarily" said Alfie, "We can still make it" he said as he stared at Amber. "Well then what are we doing sitting around, let's go!" screamed Amber, as she grabbed her things and the three all legged it to the plane. "Wait? Where are the others?" asked Alfie. "They're probably waiting for us on the plane, already!" said Amber, as she carried on running. They then hopped on some escalators. "OOH, FUN!" said Willow as she tried to walk up the escalators, which were moving down. "Willow, you're not going anywhere, hurry up!" shouted Amber as she successfully sprinted down a set of busy, moving stairs, in high heels. They then ran through a long hall, before arriving at the gate. The others were all there, sitting down in the waiting area. "Guys? Why aren't you on the plane?" asked Amber. "Because the gate is closed" said Eddie. "I know, so we've missed the plane!" shouted Alfie. "No, the gate is closed, because they haven't opened them yet!" said Eddie. "What now?" asked Amber as she glared at Alfie. "Yeah, it's only 11:15" said Kt. "Urgh!" Amber huffed, as she stormed to a seat. Patricia laughed and said "Just like the good old times". They all sat for 5 minutes in the terminal, waiting for the gate to open. Fabian looked out the hugged glass windows and searched for their plane. "I hope it's a small one" he whispered to himself, as he was very, very anxious. "Yes! Found it" he said as he spotted a tiny, little stunt plane, with a propeller on the front which was about the size of a fingernail. "Where?" asked Mara, as she pushed her boyfriend out of the way to get to the window. "Fabian, that's not it!" said Mara as she grinned at him. "What is then?" he asked. "That is" said Mara as she stepped back, and behind the window was a huge, Airbus A380. "WOW!" said Fabian as he fainted into his seat. "I'm getting worried again!" said Willow. Patricia then said "Oh don't be such a….." "Language" interrupted Eddie.

"Gate 07, to Los Angeles, now open" said the airport worker. Everybody lined up, to show their passports and boarding passes. Fabian rushed to the back. Eddie showed them his pass, and then walked through the turn style and down the small hall. "Were doing it" said Mara. "Yes we are" said Jerome as he sarcastically smiled. They had all the n walked through, everyone accept for Fabian. "Ticket and Passport please" asked the man. "Naa, I'm fine" said Fabian, as he went to walk away. "Fabian, where are you going?" asked Joy. "Anywhere but here" he said as he walked away. "Urgh, stop acting like a scared little girl, and show the nice man your boarding pass. Fabian then agreed. They all walked down the small hall, and boarded the plane. As Fabian boarded, he wash vigorously shaking, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of the cockpit. "OMG!" he whispered. They all sat in their seats and buckled up. Patricia was still trying to get her hand luggage in the small compartment above. "OH MY!" She shouted as she tried her hardest to shove it in. "Do you need help?" asked Eddie. "I wouldn't need help, if your stupid bag didn't take up all of the room!" she shouted. "Sorry!" said Eddie as he helped her put her bag up. "See!" he said as he closed the compartment. "Shut up, weasel face" said Patricia as she sat down. Fabian stared out the window, scared out of his mind. Alfie, Amber and Willow all sat next to each other. "This plane is big" said Willow as she looked around. "Yeah, it's the biggest passenger airline in the world you know" said Amber. "What? Where did you learn that?" asked Alfie. "Well, obviously, daddy has one. He keeps it in his personal hanger at Heathrow" said Amber.

A couple of minutes later, the plane were lined up with the runway. Fabian had his head on his lap, as the flight attendants went through the safety precautions. "Fabian, keep your head up, your missing all the fun!" s=laughed Patricia. "Shut up" shouted Fabian. "We are now clear for take-off" said the pilot. "Oh my goodness" said Willow as she shoved her face into Alfie's arm. "Willow, look out the window, it's so cool" said Amber. The engines then began spinning and the plane slowly throttled forwards. "What's happening?" shouted Fabian. "Were doing something called moving" said Patricia. The G-forces sent everybody's heads to the back of their seats. Fabian was heavy breathing, with his eyes tightly closed. "Look how fast were going" said Amber. "NO!" shouted Willow. They were now going 180mph, as they took off of the long runway. "Ahh, are we in the sky yet?" asked Fabian. "Yes!" shouted Jerome. Fabian then looked up, and peeked through the window. They were already, extremely high. Fabian gulped. Willow had already taken her seatbelt off and was dancing around the plane. "You may now take your seatbelts off and stand up!" said the pilot, though the speakers. "No! I'm not risking my life!" shouted Fabian, as she pulled his seatbelt even tighter. Within an hour, they were could already see the Atlantic Ocean. "Ooh, look. It's the Atlantic, who wants to know some facts?" asked Mara. "Go on then" said Fabian. "It's the coldest ocean in the world" said Mara. "Oh, great, so if we crash, we'll crash into the world's coldest and most freezing ocean, yes?" asked Fabian, with a terrified face. "Oh, we won't crash Fabian!" said Joy. 4 hours later, everybody but Willow and Alfie, were sleeping. "Oh, everybody, wake up! Its only 5 o'clock, lets party!" shouted Willow as she danced around the plane. "Ooh, let's go upstairs!" said Willow. "Yes!" Alfie agreed. The crazy couple then legged it to the nearest stair case and sprinted up the stairs. They then entered the first class area. "Wow, it's like whole different world up here" said Willow as she opened her eyes and mouth as wide as she could. "Wait a minute, is this first class?" asked Alfie. "Maybe, but who cares!" said Willow as she danced around. She then took a deep breath and began singing as loud as she could. "I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL, YEAH I JUST CLOSED MY EYES AND SWUNG!" she screamed. Alfie then let out a huge laugh, as he grabbed her arm and pulled her back downstairs. "Willow, you're going to get us thrown off!" shouted Alfie. "Wow that will be sick! Getting thrown out of a plane going at 500mph, 40,000 feet high! It'll be like superman" said Willow. "Except superman goes faster than the speed of sound" said Alfie, coming out with his superhero knowledge. "So?" asked Willow.

The two then sat back in their seats. They snuggled up together and told each other ghost stories. Amber was in a deep sleep, but woke up to the sound of Willow chuckling. She opened her eyes, and they widened when she saw Alfie flirting with Willow, whilst holding her in his arms. She immediately felt nothing but jealousy as she curled back up and went to sleep. After about two hours the pilot announced. "Everybody, we are currently flying through the half-way point to California, and we are half way through the 12 hour flight". Everybody then woke up, to the pilots' voice. "Hey, would you just shut up! Some of us are trying to get some rest here" moaned Patricia as she curled up to Eddie, who was also now awake. "So, half way through our flight! Who's excited?" asked Kt. "Me!" said Joy. "Yeah, me too I can't wait to meet all of the Californian girls!" said Jerome. Joy then glared at him. "Yeah, and I can't wait to get off of this flying tin can" shouted Fabian, as he hugged Mara. Mara laughed and hugged him back.

After another 2 hours, everybody was bored, and there were still four hours left. "Who wants to play truth or dare?" asked Patricia. "NO! Let's play pirates!" said Willow. "Willow, no one likes pirates!" said Patricia. "Wow, look out the window!" shouted Eddie. He peered out and 40,000 feet beneath him was the coast of America. "Wow, so were officially in America then" said Mara. "Yeah, so if we crash now, we'll crash into the hard ground" said Fabian, still scared. "Is that New York City?" asked Patricia. "Maybe, we are still very high and there are a couple of small clouds blocking our view" Said Mara. "Yeah so, Truth or dare anyone?" asked Patricia. "Yeah sure, I just need to go to the toilet first" Said Eddie as he stood up and walked across the cabin, to the small toilet. He walked in and slowly shut the door behind him. It locked with a loud 'click!' He turned around to see a red glow from inside the tank. "What is that?" he asked himself. He put his hands on either end of the lid and pulled the top of it off. He saw inside, all of the dirty water, the pipes, the valve and then, a….

Sorry, I said that they would arrive in chapter 9, but they're actually going to be arriving in chapter 10!
