What is the surprise?
Jonny: *unties the blindfold* where do you think we are?
Jac: *looks around* are we at a shopping mall?
Jonny: if we were at a shopping mall would I have 2 suitcases?
Jac: good point. Wait what 2 suitcases
Jonny: yes, where do you think we are?
Jac: are we at a train station
Jonny: c*sniggers* no, close though look at the sky
Jac:*looks at the sky and sees an aeroplane* are we at an airport?
Jonny: yes we are
Jac: so the surprise is a holiday
Jonny: it could be
Jac: but the question is. Where are we going?
Jonny: now that you won't find out until we get onto the plane
Jac: Meany *crosses her arms*
Jonny: now, what do you want to do first? *looks around*
Jac: well what can you do whilst at an airport?
Jonny: we have got 3 hours to kill so if we go and get ourselves sorted and then we can relax and have some fun
Jac: 3 hours, it never takes that long
Jonny: it's better to be early then to miss the plane
Jac: I suppose so
Jonny: *takes Jac's arm and walks into the airport* we should check in our bags
*Jac and Jonny go to get their bags checked*
Jac: I suppose so, and we need to get the tickets checked whilst there
Jonny: you're not doing that
*they stand in the queue to get their bags checked*
*35 minutes later*
Jac: I feel really tired now; I wonder how much longer we will have to wait for
*they step forwards*
Jonny: hopefully not much longer, are you sure you don't want to go and sit down
Jac: I am fine; anyway we could easily get separated
Jonny: yes we are better off sticking together
Jac: where are we going after we have finished here?
Jonny:*hides the tickets from Jac's view and looks at them* hangar 5
Jac: when are you going to tell me where we are going?
Jonny: wait and see
Jac: but I don't want to
*they step forwards*
Jac: ohh look we are only 4 people away from the bag check thing
Jonny: *looks around the waiting people* finally
Jac: don't start moaning, it was your idea to go on holiday
Jonny: I didn't expect such crowds
Jac: we are at Birmingham airport what did you expect?
Jonny: on a Monday?
Jac: people don't go abroad just for the weekend Jonny
*step forwards again*
Jac: we are even closer now
Jonny: oh *goes quiet*
Jac: *laughs* did you not know that?
Jonny: *grins* clearly not
Jac: the annoying Scottish nurse thought people go abroad for a weekend at time. That is a first; they would spend most of their time travelling
Jonny: I guess so
*step closer*
Jac: I would get the tickets out ready we will be next
Jonny: *pulls out tickets and hands one to Jac* here you go
Jac: *takes it and searches for where she is going* it doesn't say!
Jonny:*smiles* nope
Jac: why not?
Jonny: wait and see
Jac: but why hasn't it been printed onto the ticket? *still looking at the ticket*
Jonny: I asked for it not to be
Jac: you are just too good at this, I don't like it
Jonny: that's me, MR good
*steps forwards*
Jac: it's us now
Jonny: *looks up and follows*
Bag checker: hello, are you looking forwards to your flight today
Jac: don't ask me I don't know where we are going
Jonny: *grins*
Bag checker: well do you know sir *looks at Jonny*
Jonny: of course I do
Bag checker: please could you pass the bags over
Jonny: *picks up the bags and pts them on the conveyor belt*
Jac: *starts tapping her fingers on the side*
Bag Checker: right, your bags are a suitable weight and so you can go through the metal scanner now
Jac: right ok, bye
Jonny: bye *takes Jac's hand and leads the way to the scanner*
*they join the queue for the scanner*
Jonny: it really is busy
Jac: I wonder how long we will be queuing here for then
Jonny: it shouldn't be too long as long as long as no one gets stopped for a full body scan
Jac: everybody is going through pretty quick at the moment
Jonny: Hopefully that will last until we have gone through
Jac: I need to find someone *looks around*
Jonny: ummm, who?
Jac: someone who works on the metal detector
Jonny: ….why?
Jac: well we need to know whether it is doubled up as an x-ray machine don't we. I think it is, seeing as it is in another room and only one person goes in at a time
Jonny: and why do we need to know that? *starts looking for someone*
Jac: *sighs* do you really need to ask me that?
Jonny: oh, because of the baby? I was just having a moment of stupidity *spots someone and gets her attention*
Scanner supervisor: *walks towards Jac and Jonny* hello, can I help you?
Jac: yes you can
Jonny: we need to know if the scanner is doubled up as an x-ray machine or not
Scanner supervisor: Yes, it is. Is there a problem with that?
Jac: I am afraid there is
Scanner supervisor: and what is the problem? *crosses her arms and thinks "these two are complete time wasters"*
Jac: well, you see I am pregnant so I can't go through the x-ray
Scanner Supervisor: do you have proof?
Jac: no, not on me other than the baby bump
Jonny: *points* I do, I have the picture from the last scan
Scanner Supervisor: can you show it to me please
Jonny: I could but it is in my wallet and my wallet is in the tray
Scanner supervisor: ok, *writes a note and passes it to Jonny* here go and get your tray of belongings
Jonny:*takes the note and collects his tray, comes back* Jac hold the tray please
Jac: *holds the tray*
Jonny: *finds the picture and shows it to the supervisor*
Scanner Supervisor: *looks at the scan* right, I will see what I can do*goes and speaks to her boss*
Jonny: she needs to get a move on, were almost there
Jac: oh, here she comes
Scanner Supervisor: If you would like to come with me both of you, we will give you both a full body scan
Scanner Supervisor: arms out, legs apart
Jac: *stands like a starfish*
Scanner Supervisor: *scans Jac* you can go and wait over there to collect your belongings
Jac: *goes where the scanner supervisor points and collects her things*
Scanner Supervisor: *looks at Jonny* you next
Jonny: *puts arms out*
Scanner Supervisor: legs as well *starts scanning*
Jonny: *; puts his legs apart*
Scanner Supervisor: *finishes scanning* you can go and get your things now
Jonny: *goes where Jac is and gets his things* right ok then *turns around* tha... oh, she's gone
Jac: is there anything else we need to do now?
Jonny: no
Jac: well in that case I would like to go and sit down, and I would like to get a puzzle book for on the plane
Jonny: first we will go to a cafe and get drinks and then we will find a shop that sells mags and puzzle books. Is that ok?
Jac: yup, that is just fine
*they go and find a cafe*
Jac: what about this one here? It even has a Whsmiths next door
Jonny: it is a little expensive
Jac: *moans*
Jonny: ...but why not *sits down at a table for 2* afterwards we will go into Whsmiths
Jac: *smiles and sits down with Jonny*
Jonny: so what do you want for a drink?
Jac: I will have a cappuccino please *gets comfy*
Jonny: ok *looks on the drinks menu* and I think that I will have an espresso. Right, * goes to the counter*
Waiter: how can I help you?
Jonny: I would like to order a cappuccino and an espresso please
Waiter: if you would like to sit down and I will bring the drinks to you
Jonny: ok, thanks *goes back to the table and sits down*
Jac: so, when am I going to find out where we are going?
Jonny: soon
Jac: can I at least have a clue?
Jonny ok but only one the clue is to keep your ears peeled
Jac: ...my ears? Don't you mean my eyes?
Waiter: *puts drinks onto the table*
Jonny: thanks *takes his drink* no Jac, I mean your ears
Jac: *takes her cappuccino and pulls a thinking face
Jonny: *smiles* and this is the clever cardiothoracic surgeon
Jac: *shakes her head* sorry, what
Jonny: *chuckles* nothing
Jac: sure looks like nothing *drinks her coffee*
*they sit in comfortable silence drinking*
Jac: I do know what you want me to do
Jonny: what do I want you to do then?
Jac: you want me to listen for an announcement
Jonny: yes I do, so why are you confused?
Jac: I am trying to work out why
Jonny: because then you will know where we are going
Jac: no *finishes her drink* why you won't tell me where we are going
Jonny: because it's a surprise
Jac: that what you keep saying, but why a surprise for me?
Jonny: because you deserve one *finishes his drink*
Jac: and what have I done to deserve one?
Jonny: you have put up with me, 'the annoying Scottish nurse'
Jac: *giggles*
Jonny: shall we go and get that puzzle book you wanted?
Jac: ok, but after you have paid
Jonny: obviously *goes to the till and pays for the drinks*
*takes Jac's hand and walks to WHSmiths next door*
Jac: where is the section for puzzle books then?
Jonny: probably in the newsagents section
Jac: and can you see it? Because I can't
Jonny: no I can't either
Jac: let's just walk around till we find them
Jonny: ooh chocolate *walks off as if hypnotised*
Jac: *sighs* Jonny, where are you going? *follows him*
Jonny:*takes a sharing packet of chocolate off the shelf*
Jac: if you buy that then you will have to buy me my puzzle book
Jonny: fine, chocolate *moans* yum
Jac: *spots the puzzle books and walks over to them* I think I will have one with lots of different puzzles in *takes the thickest one from the shelf and walks back to Jonny*
Jonny: is that the one that you want? *takes it and stands in the queue*
Jac: yes *stands in the queue with Jonny*
Jonny: *buys the chocolate and puzzle book*
Speaker: flight 476 has landed and will be taking off early
Jac: *looks at ticket* that's us we need to get moving
*Jac and Jonny run to hangar 5, they join the queue of people waiting to get onto the plane*
Jonny: at least we are here now *catches his breath*
