And here we have, hyper younger siblings... enjoy.

Chapter 25

Holiday of Hell

Nana's wedding came called for just several weeks after I returned back home from the Yunezawa Ski resort. Apparently Eurydice had handled things by herself for the week while I was away from home. She booked us expensive seats in the airplane; business class. Even though we weren't exactly businessmen travelling to a conference meeting or anything.

"Well, we are rich, why don't we just sit in luxury?" She said as we loaded our suitcases into the counter conveyor belt.

"How come we couldn't get into first class?" I asked.

"We aren't that rich." Eurydice replied. "Well, I'm not that rich."

It seems that Eurydice had spent her savings on our seats instead of our family fortune. I shrugged and followed Nana and the triplets to the waiting area while Eurydice checked in. I never really liked airports. I didn't get travel sick or anything… well, Laney does, but I'm fine. I can handle it. I'm not really fond of travelling by plane. Nana was sitting in her seat calmly while playing with her fingers.

"What's wrong, Nana?" I asked as I sat beside her. News had spread out that Arnie was taking a different plane to Hawaii and would meet us there at our hotel for the wedding.

The weeks before we had spent hours in shops looking at beautifully made bridesmaid's dresses and wedding gowns. Nana and Arnie already made their fixated wedding date and were busy going out to town buying all supplies for the wedding. Arnie had friends there so they were beginning to prepare. Mum sent us bridesmaids dresses to Eurydice, Laney and I which she hand made, she even sent a matching set of boy scout-looking suits for the boy brats (which they detested and tried to burn) but Nana kept them safe so they'll be stuck with sailor hats, short trousers and braces.

"Just nervous…. Laney, do need to go to the toilet before we board the plane?" Nana replied.

"No, I'm okay." She replied shakily.

She already ate her travel-sickness tablets and was just raking through magazines which she would never understand. Nana was carrying her bag with the food she prepared for during the airplane journey ("Aeroplane food isn't appetising") and gave Laney one sweet bun. And then I just realised that the boy brats were missing. "Billy! Jimmy! Stop running around!" I shouted at them. "Don't you boys want some food?"

The boy brats loved travelling. They never got sick either; they get hyper waaaaay before the departure. They ignored me and zoomed around the reception area and phone booths. "We're going to Hawaii! We're going to Hawaii! We're going to Hawaii!"

I caught up with them and stuck buns into their mouths. They returned to their seats chomping silently. Eurydice returned, and we immediately left to the correct area where our plane would be.

After an hour of waiting; we boarded the plane with our passports etc and entered the business area and found our seats. I was unfortunately, stuck with the boy brats.

"They two listen to you the most." Eurydice said.

Nana sat with Laney because se was travel sick and only felt the most secure with Nana; and Eurydice went and sat in her seat; and beside her was this incredibly cute guy whom she began to chat up amiably. Grr, wait till Daimon hears about this! I glared daggers at her as I helped load the boy brats' small suitcase up into the storage cupboard above our seats.

"What the hell do you have inside this?" I said to them as I struggled to shove it in. With such force I shoved half of it and I breathed a sigh of relief, then supported myself by the bag handle so I could step down slightly – and somehow I ended up tugging the zip halfway down of one pouch, and then I heard something crack.

"Lego!"

And the tiny bricks fell down on top of me and I screamed.

"Is there a problem here?" A steward asked as he realised I was completely covered in this multicoloured bricks.

"No, we're fine." I said with a wry smile. "We're fine."

Some hours later…. Of Absolute….. BOREDOM

It's been a bit embarrassing; Laney started screaming when the plane took off. The boy brats kept attacking me with their uncontrollably ranting and raving about Lego and Hula dancing, ran up and down the aisle a numerous times, and they also kept pressing the buttons; air hostess' and stewards kept appearing beside our seats.

"Oh just shut up and stay seated!"

"Make us!" They retorted with their tongues stuck out at me.

My face began to boil up all red and steam practically blew from out from my ears and nostrils "I'm glad you asked!"

I stuffed their pillows into their mouths, tied their seatbelts tightly around their puny bodies and sat back into my chair, with my headphones clamped shut over my ears, trying to concentrate on my music. Eurydice was enjoying herself at the bar and Nana was busily playing cards with Laney to take her mind off travel sickness.

Now, our dinner came. Apparently the boy brats copied what I had chosen for my meal; it was some sort of mini chicken casserole with vegetables soaked with black bean sauce, a small tub of chocolate ice cream for dessert (go chocolate! Lol), a cup of Chinese tea – there was even two miniature dairy milk bars. The boy brats demanded for some more but I stopped them in case they got too hyper.

"Stop playing with your food, Billy!"

"Jimmy, chew before you swallow or you'll choke!"

"Billy, you're not meant to be drinking chocolate milk, Chinese tea is healthier – I think!(?)" (He seemed to have swapped the Chinese tea for that instead).

"Jimmy, finish off your fish cake!"

"I don't like fish."

"Billy, was that you who swapped my dessert?"

"NoitwasntmeitwasJimmybecausehesatotalygreedypigunlikemeand – "

"Billy, don't speak as you eat."

"Shutupwhatdoyouthinkyouresaying? Ididntstealnonothingofbigsisfishatall!" Jimmy retorted.

"Jimmy – "

"ItsnotmeIdidntgonearanyfish, didntyouknowIdontlikefish – "

"Billy, Jimmy, just tell me, did you steal my dessert?"

They both turned to me. "WewereonlyisttinghereplayingourGameboyandthenthisladycamealongandaskedifwewantedmilkandJimmy/BillysaidyerIluuuvmilksoshegavehimthecarton. Shesmiledatusandleftusatpeacelikenormal, webegantoeatandthenyoujustsaidwhoswappedyourdessert.WelookedaroundbutobviouslyitwasntmebecuaseitwasBilly/Jimmywhostoleitobviously – " They both said in unison

I blinked. "WHAT?"

"Wewereonly – "

"Stop! Stop!"

Ahhh, what was the use?

I sat back in my chair with my empty tray and sighed in defeat as the boy brats bounced and jiggled up and down in their seats, sticking their tongues out at each other, arguing, then fighting, laughing and throwing their food around at each other.

–SPLAT-

Jimmy's bit of fish cake splat on my cheek and I lost it. Billy and Jimmy stopped fighting.

"PIPE DOWN AND EAT YOUR MEAL IN SILENCE OR I'LL THROW YOU OUT OF THE PLANE!" I screamed at them. I gave them death glares plus daggers. Then I added: "AND I MEAN IT!"

They quietened down; but people around were staring at me and I shrank even further down. Aw gawd! I can't believe I just said that in front of everyone! I used my magazine to cover my face as the airhostess passed.

Next:

"Sis, I need to go to the loo." Billy said.

I unstrapped my seatbelt and let him go out. Billy sauntered out and stood at the edge of our seat aisle and I continued to listen to music.

"Aren't you coming with me?"

I took off my headphones. "What? The toilet's just down there." I said, pointing at the red sign at the top of the ceiling saying 'Toilet'.

Billy whimpered. "I can't go by meself. BecausetheothertimeIwentotthetoiletintheaeroplaneIendedupgettingalllockedinandIcouldntfindawayoutsoIwasscreamingandscreamings, thelightsflickeredonandoffandIwastotally, like, sososcared, andthatswhyinevergobymyselftothetoiletonplanes, well, atleastnotwithoutsomeoneleadingthewayandmakingusreidontgettrapped."

I blinked. "What was that?"

"Don't make me say that again."

"Look, you're seven."

"Please, Nuo, can't you come with me?"

"Okay, okay, just stop whining." I hastily shoved my pillow at Jimmy and told him to remain seated, before climbing out and taking Billy to the loo.

After five minutes of waiting, I banged on the locked door. "Billy? Are you finished yet?" I stared at the queue of people behind me.

"The door's stuck!"

"WHAT!"

"I can't open it!"

"Billy, press the button for the help!"

He must've pressed it. But after another two minutes; the door jittered open and out came Billy. "I pulled it instead of pushing the door." He said embarrassedly.

My jaw dropped and an airhostess came wondering what was happening.

"Uh… we're okay now." I said quickly and I scooted Billy back to our seats.

The lights were dimming and I went over to Nana who was telling Laney a bedtime story. "Nana, will you please take over from here? I'm getting officially sick and tired of the boy brats."

Nana sighed. "Wait until I've finished, I thought you were doing a pretty good job."

I sighed. "They're doing my head in."

"Okay, I'll go check up on them."

A minute later I was driven back to my seat when Nana signalled to me that it was okay. The boy brats had fallen asleep and I tiredly slumped in my chair, and threw the blanket over myself. Ahh…. Peace and quiet. I began to feel as if I was beginning to fall back in my mind – the first sign that I was about to doze off for good….

.:Snore:.

Oh crap.

I got back up and looked at my two brothers; they were snoring with their mouths wide open, twitching under their blankets, picking at their noses, letting their shared blanket fall over their feet…. GRRRRR! ("You can't imagine how tremendously angry, exceedingly impatient and ferociously furious I am at the moment," – Nuo through gritted teeth)

When the flight was finally over…

"KYAAA! What on earth happened to you!" Eurydice screeched in horror as I trudged off the plane; the B-G's with Nana and Laney; I was with Eurydice collecting the luggage from the conveyor belt amongst other flight attendants. Eurydice stared at my panda eyes and scruffy looking face.

"Lack of sleep, the B-G's kept me awake all night on the plane." I said through gritted teeth.

"Aww," Eurydice patted me reassuringly on the shoulder. "Don't worry, when we get to our hotel, you can lie in all day."

"Please tell me I am sharing a room with you."

"We'll see." Eurydice grinned.

I groaned.

Next, we were waiting in the blazing hot sun for our designated bus to arrive.

"Why isn't Arnie here to pick us up?" The B-G's moaned at Nana repeatedly.

"He said he'll meet us at our hotel."

According to the grapevine, Nana was fed up with the brats too. Eurydice was too; she was having problems adjusting her mobile phone to the right time and realised that her phone didn't even work at all – and I had the privilege of keeping Laney cool by fanning her constantly; and when I wanted to stop she shrieked in annoyance and I had to hurriedly fan her again.

Our bus came, and we realised we weren't exactly the only ones going on board; and we were all stuck in a frenzied attempt to fit all our suitcases in; and once we stuffed them all a space; we had to squash together in two seats – totally uncomfortable! I really wanted to move about but Laney on my lap didn't help at all (Eurydice – stuck with Jimmy, Nana – stuck with Billy).

"Taking them here was a big mistake!" I grumbled – well I tried to lower my volume but failed since there were too many people in the bus talking so I had to shout to Eurydice beside me.

"You said it!" She said back to me.

At least I wasn't the only one who thought so – and now I didn't feel as lonely as I should.
