Chapter 11-Grounded
"There is a major Alberta Clipper heading to the Denver area." The weather guy said. Aly, Lucy, Matt, and Jeff were at the airport there, they'd been there for 3 hours already. Their first flight was cancelled. It was December 31st. New Years Eve. They were gonna spend New Years in a airport with a whole bunch of cranky, bitchy, rude people. They put seats together as beds. The tv's had Dick Clark's Rocking New Years on. It was almost midnight. Aly and Lucy called their dad's. Mark and Glenn had already gotten to where they were trying to get to. "Hey guys it's almost time!" Lucy said. New Years was her favorite holiday, she's seen the ball drop in person 5 or 6 times. Jeff came over and put his arm around her. "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" They said. Lucy and Jeff kissed and Matt and Aly did the same. "Well I guess we should get some sleep" Jeff said. "Shit" "Oww" "Watch the elbow" Jeff sat up, "Ok this sucks". "Ladies and Gentlemen, all flights from now until 2pm have been cancelled." A voice on the intercom said. "Fuck this let's get out of here" Jeff said. "What, how?" Lucy asked. "We can rent a car and get the fuck out of hell." he said. "I'm in" Lucy said. "You guys in?" He asked the two sane people. "Yeah ok, but I'm driving." Matt said. Jeff and Lucy looked at each other, "I love you" Lucy said. Jeff laughed, "He's not gonna kill us."
"Ok ready?" Matt asked. They were all silent, Aly turned around. "Oh yeah, yeah, let's go." They said squeazing each others hand. They were headed to Illinois. It took them 16 hours to get there. The show was in Peoria. Aly called her dad, "Hey we are in St. Louis, Matt took the wrong exit, we'll be there in about 3-4 hours, ok." She said. "Alright, you got 7 hours, so you're doing good." Glenn said. They spent the rest of the trip listening to crappy music and laughing their asses off for no reason. They were dead tired. Earlier in the trip Matt and Jeff got into a argument and didn't talk for 4 of the 16 hours.
"I've never been more excited to see a sign for Peoria" Aly said. When she was being tossed from home to home she lived in Peoria for a little while. The show was awsome, Aly and Lucy didn't have to wrestle but Jeff and Matt fought MVP and Umaga. They won by a thread. When the match was over Aly and Lucy came to the ring and congratulated their men. "Matt what's this?" Aly asked in their hotel room later that night. It was a long box about 6 inches long. "Open it" he said. She opened it, "A pen? aww thank you" Aly loved to write, stories, poems anything. Then she noticed it said something, "it says"...Aly stared at the pen she couldn't believe what the pen said. "Will you?" Matt asked. It read Will You Marry Me? Aly smiled, "Yes!"
