"Jeez! Killua! Why did you buy two whole baskets of snack!" Gon yells.
"What? We'll be on the airship for half a day. And an airship is different from an airplane. They don't bring the food to you, you have to go to the cafeteria yourself to get food." Killua explains.
"Yeah, I know. I've been in one before."
The two boys have already gone through security in the airport. It's currently 2:30, they'll have to wait for another three hours until they can go onto the airship.
"Gon, what did you get?" Killua asks, while curiously peeking inside Gon's bag.
"Just some books that I thought might be interesting to read." Gon answers.
"Wow! What a nerd!" Killua teases him and then laughs.
"Well, I thought maybe we can read them when we get back to Whale Island. I mean, we can't play all day, right? We can read when we get bored."
" I know, I know, I was kidding. Hehe."
Killua looks around for their gate number, he doesn't see it anywhere around them.
"Mm, looks like we have to walk to our gate. We can stop for some food along the way."
"Alright, sounds good!" Gon nods in agreement.
"I don't any signs here...Lemme go ask someone." Gon runs over to a security guard near them,
"Excuse me sir, do you know where's gate 88?" Gon asks politely.
" . It's pretty far from here, you have to take the trains on the first floor to get to the other terminal. Gate 88 is on the third floor."
"Thanks!"
"No problem."
Gon runs back to Killua and tells him the information.
"Mmm...ok. We can get some food at the other terminal then. Since we haven't had lunch yet, I'm kinda hungry."
"Yeah me too."
The two boys head to the first floor to the train station. However, when they get there, they see that the waiting line is at least a couple hundred yards long.
"Jesus! Why are there so many people!? We'll have to wait here for ages!" Gon complains.
Killua looks around and sees that they're an exit door to the outside near them, and a smile emerges from his face. He says, "Hey Gon, wanna go on a trip with me?"
"Huh? Trip? What trip?" Gon asks, confused.
"I'll give you a piggyback ride!"
"Why?"
"I'll explain after. Jump on." Killua lowers himself and points to his back. "Gon, you trust me, right?"
"Okay."
Gon gets on his back. And Killua exits the building through the door. Once they're outside, Killua asks," You ready?"
"Ready for what?"
The next moment Gon feels a tingly sensation going through his body, and he sees Killua's silver hair spike up.
"Godspeed, On!"
"Killua, wh…" Before Gon even finishes his question, they've already arrived at the other terminal. Killua covered an area of five hundred yards in a second.
"How'd you like that, Gon?" Killua asks.
"Woah! That felt good!" Gon yells.
"Alright, you can get off now."
"B-but.." Gon complains.
"Not now, Gon, I'll let you do it more when we get back to Whale Island."
"Okay."
Killua can see that Gon is disappointed, he pats him on the back to cheer him up.
"Cheer up, Gon. We'll be back home in less than a day. You'll see your Aunt Mito (Mito-san) again. You haven't seen her is how long? More than a year?"
"I said 'home' instead of your home to close in the distance between us."
"The last time I was there I was with you. So about two years."
The two begin to walk inside the terminal. The Gate number 88 is right in front of them.
"Oh, perfect, here's our gate. But why is this terminal so different than the other one? This one only has two gates on one floor, but the two buildings are the same size."
"Oh, because this terminal is specifically meant for airships instead of airplanes. Y'know, cuz airships are way bigger. And I'm pretty sure these two gates are the only two gates in this building."
Killua is right, when they look around, they do not see any other gates in this terminal.
"Well, we have to wait for another two hours. Oh Yeah! Let's go get some food."
"What do you want to have, Killua?" Gon asks.
"Mmm, I don't know. Let's walk around and see what our choices are."
"Okay, sounds good."
"So after going around the whole place, there are a Sushi restaurant, a burger place, and a steakhouse...Gon, what do you want to have?"
"Uhh...I don't know...you pick."
"Gon, I understand that you care about my feelings, but since you're going to paying with your money from your credit card, it would only make sense that you pick what you want to eat."
"Okay. I'll to put money in a joint account under our names. Is that enough."
"No Gon, you're missing the point."
"No, Killua, you are the one missing the point. You've been doing really poorly ever since last night, I'm trying to make you feel better."
"-hk…" Gon's words shock Killua."Oh...I didn't know…" Killua murmurs.
"It's alright. I understand."
"Thank you, Gon…Then let's go to the burger place."
"Hey! That's almost the one I wanted to go to!"
"Great!"
One weakness that can potentially cause the downfall of Gon and Killua's friendship is that the two friends care about each other too much. Both of them are able to put the other in front of himself. This can sometimes lead to misunderstanding and trouble.
"So Killua, what do you want to do once we arrive at Whale Island. " Gon asks as he takes a bite of his burger.
The two boys are sitting at a desk facing each other next to a window in the burger place. They've both ordered a burger and a drink.
"I don't know. It'll be morning when we get there."
"I wonder if Whale Island changed at all. Maybe there will be new people and new kids. We can play together."
"Gimme a sec." Killua mumbles, "Lemme finish chewing this burger first." He stuffs the whole burger into his mouth. And after ten seconds of intense jaw-work, "Okay, I'm done."
"Uh..there's something next to your mouth." Gon points to a scrap piece of food to the right of Killua's mouth.
"Huh? Where?"
"I'll get it for you." Gon stands up and wipes it for Killua.
"Huh? Wha-?"
"There we go, much better!" Gon laughs and sits back down.
Killua's heart softens the moment he sees Gon's smile. "Why are his smiles so relaxing and pleasing?" Killua thinks.
Suddenly, an announcement comes in.
"The Airship #7090 has landed. Passengers can begin to board within the next five minutes. The airship will depart in two hours."
"Huh? This quick?" Says Killua.
"Maybe an airship is different from an airplane. Maybe you can board early. And, since we're first class, let's go!"
After checking out of the restaurant, the two boys made a beeline for the boarding area of the airship. After arriving there, they're surprised again by the extremely long waiting line. But then they realize that there's a separate line with no people for First and Business class. The two of the run up to the counter.
"Your tickets please." The staff behind the counter asks, and Killua hands her their two tickets.
After scanning them using the machine, she hands them back, "Alright, you're good to go."
They burst right through the door. Once they get to the outside, they gasp at the gigantic size of the airship.
"Jeez! What is this thing?" Gon yells.
"According to the website, it has a total of ten stories, and it's basically like a floating town. It contains everything that a regular town would have. From barber shops to Casinos, they all have them."
"Woah! Let's get on board then!"
The two of them dash toward the entrance, but they are stopped by another security check. But they pass that with no trouble and head into the airship.
"So our room is on the 10th floor. So the highest floor." Killua looks down at the airship tickets that they bought. "We're in room 1004."
"Killua! There are three elevators over here." Gon calls him from behind, and the two get in one and select "floor 10". The elevator that they are in has glass walls, as a result, they are able to get an eagle-eye view of the interior of the airship.
"Yeah, Killua you were right! There have everything here!" Gon exclaims. "And I'm guessing that all of the staterooms are on the two sides of the airship while all of the shops are in the middle. Because then the passengers will be able to get a better view."
"Yeah, Gon you're right!" Killua agrees.
"-Ding!" They've arrived on the 10th floor.
Once they step outside of the elevator, they get a completely different feeling than the floors under them.
"Woah! Everything on this floor is so nice. And unlike the wooden floors under us, the floors here are covered with carpet. Aw this is so cool!"
"Hey Gon, keep it down. This floor is for first class only, so have some manner, will you?"
"Okay, my bad."
"So… there are only ten rooms on this floor...And our's is right over...here!"
Killua inserts their room key, and "Bingo!" The door opens.
"Oh my gawd! This is sooo luxurious and huuuuge! We have a suite just for the two of us! And there are two bedrooms so we each get our own! And look at this living room between the two bedrooms!...No way! There's even a window on the ceiling! Look at the size of this bathroom! And there's also a huge glass window! Wow, just imagine what the view will be like once we're in the air." Gon shouts excitedly.
"Umm...Gon, what did I just say?"
"Oh..um..sorry."
"It's alright, just don't do it again. Anyway. This is pretty dope! Gon, what room do you want? The one on the right or the one on the left?"
Gon notices that there's a stain on the a wall of the room on the left, so he says, "I'll take the left one."
"Huh? Why would you….?"
"So Killua noticed the stain too."
"Because I want you to have the better one, Killua."
