Ch. 3 - On the Plane

Ross is staring out the window with headphones on and Rachel is trying to open a package of peanuts. "Ugh!" she grunts a few times as she stuggles to open the peanuts. Ross can tell it's not just the bag of airline peanuts that is bothering her. Ross takes the headset off and lays it on his neck. "Sweetie? Uh, you need some help?" he asks lovingly. "Ugh!" Rachel grunts again. "No, Ross! I need some God-damn scissors!" she says frustrated. As she once again tries to open the package, a stewardess walks by. Rachel stops her. "Um, miss? Okay, I can't open this stupid package of nuts. Can you bring me some scissors or a knife or something?" The stewardess looks frightened. "Ma'am, I'm sorry but we are not permitted to have sharp objects on the plane that could cause any harm at all to yourself or anyone else on this flight, Flight 452-B." she says informingly. "What!?" Rachel practically screams. "That's a bunch of bullshit!" Ross covers her mouth with his hand and tells her to calm down. After a few seconds, Rachel takes his hand off of her mouth and politely asks the stewardess for a scotch on the rocks and a cold beer for Ross. She also hands her the peanuts. "Here. I can't open these and now I don't want them." When the stewardess leaves, Ross asks, "Sweetheart? Baby, what's wrong?" "Look, Ross. I mean, sure I trust Monica and Chandler. It's sure not like they haven't watched the kids before, but....well...this is our first time away from them for more than a day! And, you know, it's just nerves, right, Ross?" she asks her husband. "Yup. They'll be fine. And as soon as we get to the hotel, we will give them a call and check up on them." The rest of the flight is peaceful and calm. Rachel takes a nap while Ross watches an airline movie. "Attention, we are in Florida and we are nearing the airport where you can get off. Thank you." The voice says over the intercom. Ross shakes Rachel to wake her up. They get ready to get off the plane by getting their bags overhead. When they are off the plane, they walk to the car loan booth. "Hi!" an overly happy man with a grey suit and round, black glasses greets them. "Um, hi." Rachel says to the man. "We called last night about getting a car for this week." "Okey-dokey, Well my name is Mack, the Car Man," the man jokes as he laughs particularly hard. "What is your last name?" "Gellar," the couple says in unison. "Okay, okay. Gellar.." Mack says. He looks through some papers and finally pulls one out. "Here we go!" he says to the couple. "Now you're wanting to rent what type of car?" "Uh..it doesn't matter really." "Great! Well, let's just give you the Ford Focus then. What color? We have blue, gold, red, silver, or black. Oh, no, I'm sorry, no blue. It was checked out this morning! I'm such a scatter-brain!" Mack exlaims. "Ooh, let's try gold," Rachel says. Ross agrees, "Fine by me!" The couple sign the papers and are told where the car is so they can pick it up. When they reach the car, the end up deciding to go eat lunch at a buffet called "Zally's Buffet & Grill". After lunch, they shop for a while. Exhausted, the couple finally goes back to their hotel, checks in, and unpacks. They each take a hot shower and lay down for a good night's rest.
