Chapter 32: Flight to Washington
McFoley Residence
"So, you said yes?" Ricky asked.
"Yep. They said that our families are coming too," Jacob said.
"So when do we all leave?" Ruby asked.
"We all leave tomorrow. So should start packing whatever we need," Jacob said.
"What about school? Our parent's jobs?" Allen asked.
"The government said they will take care of all that," Jacob answered.
"Wait what about our weapons?" Weiss asked.
"They said pack your weapons too, but make sure people don't see them," Jacob answered.
"Then we should all head home and start packing," Allen said.
"Yep. So are there any questions before we go?" Jacob asked everybody.
"Where do we all meet up and what time?" Ren asked.
"We will all meet up at McGhee Tyson Airport in Maryville. Ricky, Allen, and I will drive to your house to help drive you guys over. And we all have to be at the airport by 7:00 am," Jacob answered.
"Where are we all going exactly?" Weiss asked.
"We are all heading to the United States capital city itself, Washington D.C.," Jacob answered.
"Any more questions?" he then asked.
Nobody did not answer or spoke up.
"Alright. Then we'll come over to pick you up at 6:00 am. I'll see you all tomorrow," Jacob said as he then walks out the front door.
"I better get to packing then," Ricky said as he started to walk out.
"Yeah, same here," Allen followed.
"See you all tomorrow then," Ruby said.
Maryville, Tennessee
McGhee Tyson Airport
January 6, 2020
The next day, Jacob and his friends all drove to the airport with RWBY and JNPR riding with them while Britney, her friends, and all the high schoolers' families followed behind. Allen volunteered to watch both teams RWBY and JNPR while everyone else split off to look for their families.
"Alright guys, all our parents should get here anytime now. So just to make sure, do you all have everything you need?" Allen asked.
"Yep," Ruby answered.
"Your weapons?" Allen asked.
"We have them," Weiss said.
"Your clothes?" he asked.
"Got 'em,'' Yang and Nora said.
"The stuff that we gave you for Christmas?" he asked.
"Yes," Pyrrha answered.
"Then I guess we're good then," Allen said.
"Look, here they come," Blake said.
Britney, her friends, Jacob, Ricky, and Kelly all came, but all their parents were not with them.
"Hey guys where are our parents?" Allen asked.
"They are all with the men in black, getting all our luggage. Don't worry, they'll catch up," Ricky said.
"So let's all get inside and get to our flight," Kendra said.
Everyone walks inside and just as they did, they all spot Keaton and her team along with a few agents. They all walked up to them.
"Glad you guys can make it," Keaton said.
"Just grab what you can to keep yourselves occupied and leave the rest of your stuff here. These men here will take care of them," Cassandra said, gesturing at the agents.
All the teens grabbed what they can to keep themselves entertained and left the rest of their stuff to the agents.
"Follow us, kids," Alex said.
They all followed Keaton, Alex and Cassandra as they led them through a couple of doors then walked down the hall. They all saw a group of agents standing in front of the door. The team of marines stopped followed by everyone else.
"Alright everyone. I'm going to need you all to spread your arms and legs apart," Keaton instructed.
"What for?" Yang asked.
"So they can search us for drugs and or small weapons," Robert answered as the agents all started to frisk their bodies.
"This feels weird," Pyrrha said, feeling uncomfortable.
"You should be thankful we have this, because if we didn't, we would have a lot of dead people as a result," Ricky said.
"Before we continue, do any of you get motion sickness?" Alex asked as the agents completed their search.
All the teens then turned their heads to Jaune to which he then raised his hand.
"Here, kid," Alex said as he pulled out a small medicine jar and poured a couple of pills in his hand.
"Take these. It'll help," he said.
"Thanks," he said, grabbing the pills, putting them in his mouth then swallowing them.
"Alright, on we go," Cassandra said.
They all walked out the doors, leading them outside as they saw their flight. Everyone saw their flight and started to walk towards it.
"What is that thing?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, it does have my attention," Weiss added.
"That is an airplane. Think of it as Earth's version of an airship. And how it takes off is completely different from an airship," Allen answered.
"How so?" Ren asked.
"You see, an airplane requires a runway for it to get a running start before it can take off. And it also needs a runway when it makes its landing. Plus they don't hover in place," Kendra explained.
"Don't you have any airplanes that don't need a runway?" Weiss asked.
"Well yes, but they are called helicopters, and they can only carry a small group of people at most," Allen said.
Everyone walked up the steps to the plane one at a time as they all took their seats.
"Attention passengers, our flight will begin take off in fifteen minutes," the man on the PA announced.
Jaune took a seat right next to Pyrrha then decided to ask her something.
"Hey Pyrrha," he said.
"Yes, Jaune?" Pyrrha responded.
"If we do get back to Beacon, do you think that um... that you would... want to go somewhere?" Jaune asked.
"Jaune, are you asking me out?" Pyrrha asked.
"Um... yes," Jaune said with a bit of nervousness.
"I love to," Pyrrha answered with a smile.
Jacob watched the whole thing and silently chuckled as he took a seat. He then noticed Britney walking right next to him.
"Mind if I sit here?" she asked.
"No, not at all," said Jacob as Britney sat next to him.
"So I guess we are all going to be the center of attention within the United States government," she said.
"Let's just make sure it's just that and nothing else, because I can think of a few people that want to get their hands on us," Jacob said.
"I know what you mean," she said.
As they continued talking with each other all the high schoolers' families started to walk in the plane and started taking their seats. Will narrowed his eyes at Jacob,talking with his daughter as he was taking his seat.
"Attention passengers, please fasten your seat belts as we are about to prepare for take off," the man on the PA instructed.
Everyone on board started to fasten their seat belts just as Keaton and his team made it to their seats up front. All the Remnans looked out their windows and noticed that the plane they're on is now moving. The plane made its way to the runway and was warming up its engines.
"Get ready for take off," Keaton shouted to everyone.
The plane then moved faster and faster until it finally started to fly right up into the sky. All the Remnans were astounded by how the plane took off, while Jaune not so much, because he was too busy clenching on to his stomach, trying his best to not throw up.
