Heat Wave 2
PLANES, LIES AND FRUSTRATIONS
_______________________________
Max walked into Jam Pony a few hours later, her hair still wet from the bath. There was a paper bag containing a can of strawberry yogurt and some crackers hidden inside her backpack
"Well well well, look who decided to join us today!" Normal yelled at her from behind the desk
"Don't bust my chops Normal, I'm not feeling too good"
"Excuses, excuses. Here, hot run!" He tossed her a package and she caught it single handed
"I'll get to it in a minute"
Max walked over to her locker, ignoring Normal's bitching. She opened her backpack and reached inside to grab the yogurt and crackers. Max smashed the crackers into tiny bits and mixed them with the yogurt
"Ok, here we go" Max said to herself before stuffing as much yogurt in her mouth as she possibly could without her cheeks looking too puffy
The thick liquid inside her mouth was making her sick. Her sensitive tongue could feel the revolting mixture of thick yogurt and soapy crackers and it made her want to puke
By the time she had gotten to Normal's desk her head was spinning and her stomach hurt from the effort of keeping her breakfast inside
Max could see Original Cindy walking inside from the corner of her eye and she had to focus on not running away and spitting the whole thing out before she had to
"Hey, here, take this other package with you. Hot run, beep beep beep"
Max, who was getting clammy and sweaty, reached for the package slowly
"Hey, what's wrong with you are you ok?" Normal asked
Max felt the bile on her stomach bobbling up and down her throat, burning her esophagus. The revolting mixture in her mouth had mixed with her saliva and she tried taking deep breaths through her nose to calm her stomach but it only made things worse
'Look at me' she thought 'A genetically engineered killing machine who can't even keep a can of yogurt inside her mouth for a couple of minutes'
"Max, are you ok? You look like a runny egg"
Normal's comment set Max off, she couldn't control herself and she spitted the yogurt right into Normal's perfectly ironed yellow shirt
Normal let out a girly scream and tried to yank the shirt off without touching the pink stuff with yellow bits of soft food splattered all over him.
The people at Jam Pony where either laughing because they knew about the plan and were enjoying Normal's reaction or grimacing because they were too disgusted to do anything else
"Normal I'm..." Max, who was feeling much better now and trying very hard to keep on a sick face tried to come up with an excuse
"Out Max..."
"But Normal..."
"Out! And don't come back until you're feeling 100% better!"
"I'll take her home, make sure she's ok" Original Cindy stepped forward and took Max's arm
"Ok, fine, just go!"
Max gave Normal one last sick face and left the building with a giggly Original Cindy by her side
"That went well" OC mentioned while they rode their bikes back to their place
Max glanced down at her messy shirt "Yeah, right, I need another bath"
*************
Max was sitting alone in the middle of a beautiful beach. The sounds of the waves and the moonlight almost made it the perfect place to be but it was missing something. Suddenly, Max saw Logan walking towards her wearing a suit, his tie undone. He was barefoot, carrying his shoes with his right hand and his jacket over his left shoulder and right then she knew her perfect place was complete
"Max..." He called her name
"Max... Max! Wake up baby!"
Max groaned "Give me a couple of minutes"
"We don't HAVE a couple of minutes! Come on Max, where's that shark DNA when you need it?"
Max rolled on her stomach and covered her head with the pillow "Well, it seems like someone tired me out last night"
"You can sleep on the plane... which leaves in about an hour"
Max sat up so suddenly that the sheet covering her bare body pooled around her waist.
Logan groaned "Oh that's great, now I'm going to walk around with a hard on for the rest of the day"
Max ignored him, she snatched her watch from the bedside table "Shit, we overslept! I never oversleep!" She got out of bed and changed into shorts and a tee in record time while Logan, who was already wearing pants and just slipped on a shirt, left to make some toast
By the time they arrived at the airport they were extremely late and extremely pissed at each other, they had been unable to stop themselves from fighting over small stupid stuff such as the toast being burnt and Logan stopping the Aztec so suddenly that Max spilled orange juice all over herself
"This is my favorite shirt!" Max exclaimed for the tenth time as they rushed into the airport, dragging their bags
"I KNOW Max! Look, we can send it to the dry cleaners once we get there"
"I don't trust dry cleaners with this shirt. I barely trust myself!"
"Look!" Logan interrupted her "There they are!" He pointed to where Original Cindy and Sketchy were standing
"Where the hell have you been and what happened to your shirt?" Original Cindy screamed at them when she saw them approach
"Don't ask" Max dropped the two bags she was carrying on a chair and pulled her hair away from her sweaty face
"Where are Kendra and Walter?" Logan asked, looking around
"They went to check their bags, which is what you two should be doing"
Sketchy took a big bite from the messy sandwich he was holding and some of the mayo slipped out of the corner of his mouth. Max made a face of disgust and asked
"Sketchy, what are you eating?"
"A 'torta'" he answered
"Torta my ass, that's a sandwich with stale bread!" Original Cindy exclaimed "And you two should really check your bags"
"Oh yeah!" Max grabbed her bags and followed Logan
*************
Kendra and Walter were at the counter when Max and Logan got there
"Hey you guys! Where were you?" Kendra asked. Max was just about to answer when she continued "Never mind. Walter, this is Logan. Logan..."
"We've met" Logan interrupted
Walter, who was already stretching his arm, frowned "We have?"
Max nudged Logan on the ribs "Ugh no! But Max's told me so much about you I feel like I know you already!"
Walter's eyes shone with something that looked suspiciously like pride "She has hasn't she?"
Max rolled her eyes "Guys, we need to check the bags..."
"Oh yeah!" Kendra moved out of the way
Max checked hers firs and once she was done Logan cleared his throat "Hum Max, would you mind going to the store and buying some gum? My ears don't take heights very well"
"Oh I've got some cherry gum right here!"
"Oh but... I want peppermint!" He handed her a few bills "Plus airplane food is awful so why don't you buy us a snack as well? You're bound to get hungry!"
Max shrugged "Ok" she took the money and left
Logan waited until he was sure she was gone before reaching inside his suitcase and taking out a small velvet box. he smiled and placed it in his pocket before checking his bags
************
"What seats did you get?" Original Cindy asked them
"G 14 and G 15" Max red out loud from her ticket
A big airplane landed then and the six of them turned to watch the beautiful white aircraft
"Hey, think that's our ride?" Sketchy asked
"Oh I hope so" Kendra squeaked excitedly
"Flight 542 now boarding through gateway six" A woman's voice came over the loudspeakers
"That's us!" Logan told everyone and they walked to gateway six in an enthusiastic bunch
"Oh I hope that was our plane, I hope that was our plane I hope that was..." Original Cindy stopped midsentence. They had reached gateway six and all they could see outside the window was a big bunch of junk
"Oh that can't be it" Walter looked down at his plane ticket
"It looks barely safer than a bird!" Max exclaimed
"Bird my ass! I would rather fly to Mexico in a mosquito!" Original Cindy's eyes were wide and scared
"Oh come on guys it can't be that bad" Logan tried to reassure everyone but the truth was he was just as scared as anyone else
************
"Ok, so this plane will leave us... Where?" Max was leafing through some information sheets that Logan had with him
"We're flying directly to Mazatlan" He answered
"Great! And frm there we'll just take a cab to our hotel which is..."
"El Cid Mega Resort" Logan recited with a Latin accent
"Right" Max handed the papers back to him and tried not to look out the yellowish window. She could hear Kendra's uneven breathing behind her which meant she was nervous. 'But then again, so am I and I'm a super soldier' she thought to herself
Logan opened his small table and the clip holding it to the seat in front, which was taken by Original Cindy sitting next to Sketchy, fell off. Logan held it up for Max to see and she shrugged. She reached inside her mouth for her gum and rolled it into a ball
"Max," Logan said "the table is too heavy, you can't hold it in place with a piece of..."
Max stuck the gum between the seat and the table applying a small amount of pressure. The small beige table staid in place
"...gum" Logan finished his phrase with a horrified expression "What the hell is in those things?"
"You can look it up when we get back" Max sat back and tried to relax. She tried to buckle her seatbelt but it seemed like it didn't fit or maybe it was jammed with something. She groaned and looked up to press the little button and get some help from the stewardess but it was broken
"Great!" She looked down and sighed again before tying a knot with the seatbelt
Logan was shocked to see that "Max, what are you... Here, I'll trade places with you"
"Logan don't be ridiculous" Max snapped at him. She saw Sketchy reach up and call for a stewardess
A pretty girl was by his side in no time flat
"What can I do for you sir?" She had the smallest voice Max had ever heard, it was barely louder than a whisper
"WHAT?" Sketchy asked loudly
"What can I help you with?" She asked again a little louder but it still wasn't loud enough
"WHAT?" Sketchy asked again
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU CALL HER YOU ASS?" Max yelled at him and reached over to slap him on the head
"Ouch! Max! Oh well, I was wondering, do you have any barf bags? I just ate"
Max cringed. The 'torta' looked disgusting when he was eating it, she couldn't even picture it out of him
The stewardess, who's nametag identified her as Marie, came back a few moments later holding a brown paper bag
The plane started moving and Marie rushed back to the front of the plane and said "Sorry, the microphone isn't working..."
Max had to use her enhanced hearing to listen to her, everyone else around her didn't even notice the poor girl
"We will be arriving at the airport of..."
The plane began to rise and Sketchy scrambled for the paper bag. After that Max had to tune everything out to avoid hearing Sketchy retching. She DID hear Original Cindy screaming "Get that away from me you fool! Before I put you in a world of hurt!" at some point though.
*************
"I'm booooored" Max stared at the ceiling and moved her head from side to side trying to ease the tension forming in her neck
"Max, you've said that about a thousand times since we left!" Logan complained from the seat next to her. He was reading a book and seemed completely undisturbed by the long trip
"How long have we been in here?" Max glanced at her watch "Oh my god!"
"What?" Logan looked up
"We've only been on this plane for an hour and a half! How long is this trip anyway?"
Logan counted in his head "About six hours or so"
"Oh no way!" Max groaned in frustration
Logan put down his book and smiled
"Why are you smiling? We're stuck in this plane for at least four more hours!"
But Logan's smile only got wider "Max, truth or dare?"
"What?" Max asked
"Truth or dare" Logan repeated patiently
"Logan I don't..."
"Just answer the question" Logan interrupted
"Ok, ok... truth"
Logan lowered his voice "Have you ever had sex on a plane?"
Max stared at him, surprised "Hum... no"
"Do you want to?"
"Hey! That's two questions!"
"Just answer" Logan encouraged her
Max smiled "I'll meet you in the bathroom in two minutes"
Logan's smile became impossibly large as he got up and left for the bathroom
Max was just about to get up and join Logan when his seat was taken by Walter
"Hey Max"
Max looked at him in surprise "Walter, where's Kendra?"
"She's asleep. I wanted to talk to you. You know"
Max eyed the bathroom door and sighed "'Bout what?"
"Well, I've seen you checking me out and I was wondering if you would like to join Kendra and me tonight..."
"WHAT?"
"Come on Max, I know you want me..."
Max slapped him, hard
"GET YOUR FAT WHITE ASS OUT OF THAT SEAT RIGHT NOW!" She yelled, waking up half of the plane in the process. A small baby started wailing a few seats away
Walter raised his arms in surrender "Ok, ok, I just thought..."
"Walter, you don't think! Now leave!"
He got up and was gone in a second
Max looked around to see if there where going to be any more interruptions. Finding none she headed for the bathroom at the back of the plane and knocked
"Yeah" Came Logan's reply
"It's me!"
He opened the door and pulled her in by the arm. She giggled as he closed the door behind her and pressed her back against it
"We need to get you out of those wet clothes" Logan whispered against her lips
"They're already dry" Max replied, looking down at her juice stained shirt
"I don't mind" He brushed his lips against hers
Max reached forward and kissed him hard. He took the hem of her shirt in his hands and lifted it over her head
Logan was working furiously to unbutton her pants but he was having a hard time with it
Max groaned "Oh I should've worn a skirt"
Logan chuckled "We'll manage" He lifted her left leg and placed it on the sink. The bathroom was so small there was barely any space for them to move
Max unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it away from his shoulders. He kissed her exposed neck and reached down to continue his struggle with her pants
"Here, let me help" She tried to undo the buttons but her hands were shaking too much
Suddenly there was a knock on the door
"Sir, are you ok in there?" Marie's small voice barely carried through the door
"Yeah!" He replied, a little bit out of breath
"You've been in there for a long time. Would you like a laxative or something?" She asked
Max couldn't control the giggle that escaped her and Logan glared at her
"I'm fine, really" He tried to convince Marie
"Ok"
The couple heard her moving away and resumed their previous activities. Logan kissed Max passionately while still trying to work those buttons
"I am never, wearing, this, pants, again" Max said between kisses
Suddenly the plane shook, sending them crashing awkwardly into the floor
"Oh, my leg" Max tried to move from underneath Logan but couldn't
"Max, we have a problem" Logan gulped
"Well, why don't you get up so that I can get up and then we'll discuss it"
"That's just it... I managed to get your zipper down"
"Well, then what's the problem?"
"It's sort of... stuck with mine"
"WHAT?"
Max pushed Logan back and managed to sit up with extreme difficulty, considered they were attached by the waist
"Ok, lets try to stand up" Max pushed herself up but it didn't work, no matter how close to Logan she tried to get it wasn't enough to get up due to the heights difference. Plus, Logan's manly reaction was not making things easy
"Ok, here's an idea, wrap your legs around me and I'll lift you up" Logan suggested
His idea worked like a charm. He set her down on the sink and she stretched her legs behind him, resting her feet on the wall while Logan tried to work the zippers
The plane hit another rough patch and Max braced herself. She grounded her hips against Logan's, making him groan, and managed to stay still with the support of her arms on the wall behind her and her feet on the one in front
"How do we get into trouble like this?" Logan wondered out loud
"Beats me"
"No, really. Our vacation is bound to get better I mean, It can't go any worse can it?" Logan asked
At that exact moment the door banged open and Sketchy ran inside
"SKETCHY!" Max yelled
"Oh my God you guys what are you doing?" The door closed behind Sketchy, a new wave of turbulence hit and the lights went out, which was good for Max, since she was sitting shirtless on a sink with her legs raised and spread wide
"Sketchy, what are YOU doing here? And how did you get in, the door was locked!" Logan edged closer to Max, trying to hide their state of undressnes
"No it wasn't and I've got to..." Sketchy squeezed past them and knelt down in front of the toilet
"Oh please tell me you're not gonna..."
PUAJ!
"...puke" Max finished "God that's disgusting"
"Logan, get us out of this mess" She whispered in his ear "and the next time you have a comment like that, keep it to yourself please"
Logan grunted and lifted her up. There was a ripping sound and suddenly Max was free
"Oh great!" Max moved around, happy with her new acquired freedom
"Uh, not so fast" Logan said in a small voice
Max checked that Sketchy was still busy retching before turning to Logan "What do you mean?"
He held up something for Max to see with her night vision. It was a small metallic object, it was...
"MY ZIPPER?!" Max screamed
Logan covered her mouth with his hand and pointed to Sketchy, who was still bent over the bowl and was either ignoring or hadn't heard her comment
"Oh that's great, that's fitting. How am I supposed to walk around with my fly open?" She whispered
"I don't mind" Sketchy commented from his place in front of the toilet
"Oh shut up!" Max slapped him on the back of the head. The bathroom was so tiny that her legs were touching Sketchy's side and she and Logan were pressed very close together
"Let's just get out of here, I'll figure something out once I'm able to breath again" Max pushed the door but it didn't open. She frowned and pulled it towards her but the door didn't move an inch
"Hum Max?" Logan asked, sensing her hesitation
"Sketchy, what did you do to the door?" Max turned around slowly, taking deep breaths to keep herself from hitting him on the head with the toilet seat
"Uh nothing. Why?" Sketchy wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and sat back
"It won't open"
"What do you mean it won't open?" Logan moved past her with extreme difficulty and grabbed the handle
"What the hell do you think I mean?!" Max yelled at him
Logan tried to open the door, ignoring Max's question but nothing happened
"Oh we're stuck, we're STUCK"
Max kicked the door but it didn't budge
"Max, don't do that" Logan told her calmly
"Why the hell not?" Max kicked it again
"We don't know what it might do to the... stability of the plane" Logan tried to reason with her
Max knew he was right "Yeah, I know. We'll just sit here patiently until someone comes and we'll tell them to get us out. Are you ok Sketch, you've been awfully quiet" Max asked concerned
Sketchy bent over the bowl and threw up again
Max wrinkled her nose and slammed her fists on the bathroom door "HELP! WE NEED SOME HELP!"
*************
Max could hear Marie trying to open the door using a screwdriver
"Logan, please, just let me kick down the door" Max begged
"Max, it could be really dangerous!" Logan held her back
"Oh but we've been in here for over an hour! That girl can't open this door any better than I can cook a perfect lasagna!"
Sketchy snored and Max groaned "Well, at least he's not puking any more!"
"I got it!" Max heard Marie's small but triumphal voice through the door before it swung open.
The whole plane clapped as Max stepped out of the bathroom, the clapping became a bit quieter as Logan stepped out behind her and it completely stopped once Sketchy, who had just woken up, walked out on wobbly legs
"Oh this is just great! Amazing start to our vacations" Max whispered to herself
"Lets just get to our seats and try to sleep for the rest of the trip or something. Oh and grab a plane blanket or something, your fly is open" Logan whispered in her ear
"No kidding" Max curled up on her seat and asked Marie for a blanket before trying to fall asleep
She tossed and turned as much as she could on the small seat until finally sleep overtook her
************
"Max, wake up baby" Logan shook her awake
Max groaned "You know, that's the second time you've woken me up today..."
"HELLO PASSANGERS!" Marie's voice startled Max and she jumped
"I guess she got the mike working" Logan rubbed his ears
"The entire crew of this plane thanks you for flying with us. We hope you had a pleasant trip. We will be arriving at Durango's airport in five minutes..."
Logan and Max looked up, their eyes wide
"DURANGO?"

"Logan I don't..."
"Just answer the question" Logan interrupted
"Ok, ok... truth"
Logan lowered his voice "Have you ever had sex on a plane?"
Max stared at him, surprised "Hum... no"
"Do you want to?"
"Hey! That's two questions!"
"Just answer" Logan encouraged her
Max smiled "I'll meet you in the bathroom in two minutes"
Logan's smile became impossibly large as he got up and left for the bathroom
Max was just about to get up and join Logan when his seat was taken by Walter
"Hey Max"
Max looked at him in surprise "Walter, where's Kendra?"
"She's asleep. I wanted to talk to you. You know"
Max eyed the bathroom door and sighed "'Bout what?"
"Well, I've seen you checking me out and I was wondering if you would like to join Kendra and me tonight..."
"WHAT?"
"Come on Max, I know you want me..."
Max slapped him, hard
"GET YOUR FAT WHITE ASS OUT OF THAT SEAT RIGHT NOW!" She yelled, waking up half of the plane in the process. A small baby started wailing a few seats away
Walter raised his arms in surrender "Ok, ok, I just thought..."
"Walter, you don't think! Now leave!"
He got up and was gone in a second
Max looked around to see if there where going to be any more interruptions. Finding none she headed for the bathroom at the back of the plane and knocked
"Yeah" Came Logan's reply
"It's me!"
He opened the door and pulled her in by the arm. She giggled as he closed the door behind her and pressed her back against it
"We need to get you out of those wet clothes" Logan whispered against her lips
"They're already dry" Max replied, looking down at her juice stained shirt
"I don't mind" He brushed his lips against hers
Max reached forward and kissed him hard. He took the hem of her shirt in his hands and lifted it over her head
Logan was working furiously to unbutton her pants but he was having a hard time with it
Max groaned "Oh I should've worn a skirt"
Logan chuckled "We'll manage" He lifted her left leg and placed it on the sink. The bathroom was so small there was barely any space for them to move
Max unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it away from his shoulders. He kissed her exposed neck and reached down to continue his struggle with her pants
"Here, let me help" She tried to undo the buttons but her hands were shaking too much
Suddenly there was a knock on the door
"Sir, are you ok in there?" Marie's small voice barely carried through the door
"Yeah!" He replied, a little bit out of breath
"You've been in there for a long time. Would you like a laxative or something?" She asked
Max couldn't control the giggle that escaped her and Logan glared at her
"I'm fine, really" He tried to convince Marie
"Ok"
The couple heard her moving away and resumed their previous activities. Logan kissed Max passionately while still trying to work those buttons
"I am never, wearing, this, pants, again" Max said between kisses
Suddenly the plane shook, sending them crashing awkwardly into the floor
"Oh, my leg" Max tried to move from underneath Logan but couldn't
"Max, we have a problem" Logan gulped
"Well, why don't you get up so that I can get up and then we'll discuss it"
"That's just it... I managed to get your zipper down"
"Well, then what's the problem?"
"It's sort of... stuck with mine"
"WHAT?"
Max pushed Logan back and managed to sit up with extreme difficulty, considered they were attached by the waist
"Ok, lets try to stand up" Max pushed herself up but it didn't work, no matter how close to Logan she tried to get it wasn't enough to get up due to the heights difference. Plus, Logan's manly reaction was not making things easy
"Ok, here's an idea, wrap your legs around me and I'll lift you up" Logan suggested
His idea worked like a charm. He set her down on the sink and she stretched her legs behind him, resting her feet on the wall while Logan tried to work the zippers
The plane hit another rough patch and Max braced herself. She grounded her hips against Logan's, making him groan, and managed to stay still with the support of her arms on the wall behind her and her feet on the one in front
"How do we get into trouble like this?" Logan wondered out loud
"Beats me"
"No, really. Our vacation is bound to get better I mean, It can't go any worse can it?" Logan asked
At that exact moment the door banged open and Sketchy ran inside
"SKETCHY!" Max yelled
"Oh my God you guys what are you doing?" The door closed behind Sketchy, a new wave of turbulence hit and the lights went out, which was good for Max, since she was sitting shirtless on a sink with her legs raised and spread wide
"Sketchy, what are YOU doing here? And how did you get in, the door was locked!" Logan edged closer to Max, trying to hide their state of undressnes
"No it wasn't and I've got to..." Sketchy squeezed past them and knelt down in front of the toilet
"Oh please tell me you're not gonna..."
PUAJ!
"...puke" Max finished "God that's disgusting"
"Logan, get us out of this mess" She whispered in his ear "and the next time you have a comment like that, keep it to yourself please"
Logan grunted and lifted her up. There was a ripping sound and suddenly Max was free
"Oh great!" Max moved around, happy with her new acquired freedom
"Uh, not so fast" Logan said in a small voice
Max checked that Sketchy was still busy retching before turning to Logan "What do you mean?"
He held up something for Max to see with her night vision. It was a small metallic object, it was...
"MY ZIPPER?!" Max screamed
Logan covered her mouth with his hand and pointed to Sketchy, who was still bent over the bowl and was either ignoring or hadn't heard her comment
"Oh that's great, that's fitting. How am I supposed to walk around with my fly open?" She whispered
"I don't mind" Sketchy commented from his place in front of the toilet
"Oh shut up!" Max slapped him on the back of the head. The bathroom was so tiny that her legs were touching Sketchy's side and she and Logan were pressed very close together
"Let's just get out of here, I'll figure something out once I'm able to breath again" Max pushed the door but it didn't open. She frowned and pulled it towards her but the door didn't move an inch
"Hum Max?" Logan asked, sensing her hesitation
"Sketchy, what did you do to the door?" Max turned around slowly, taking deep breaths to keep herself from hitting him on the head with the toilet seat
"Uh nothing. Why?" Sketchy wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and sat back
"It won't open"
"What do you mean it won't open?" Logan moved past her with extreme difficulty and grabbed the handle
"What the hell do you think I mean?!" Max yelled at him
Logan tried to open the door, ignoring Max's question but nothing happened
"Oh we're stuck, we're STUCK"
Max kicked the door but it didn't budge
"Max, don't do that" Logan told her calmly
"Why the hell not?" Max kicked it again
"We don't know what it might do to the... stability of the plane" Logan tried to reason with her
Max knew he was right "Yeah, I know. We'll just sit here patiently until someone comes and we'll tell them to get us out. Are you ok Sketch, you've been awfully quiet" Max asked concerned
Sketchy bent over the bowl and threw up again
Max wrinkled her nose and slammed her fists on the bathroom door "HELP! WE NEED SOME HELP!"
*************
Max could hear Marie trying to open the door using a screwdriver
"Logan, please, just let me kick down the door" Max begged
"Max, it could be really dangerous!" Logan held her back
"Oh but we've been in here for over an hour! That girl can't open this door any better than I can cook a perfect lasagna!"
Sketchy snored and Max groaned "Well, at least he's not puking any more!"
"I got it!" Max heard Marie's small but triumphal voice through the door before it swung open.
The whole plane clapped as Max stepped out of the bathroom, the clapping became a bit quieter as Logan stepped out behind her and it completely stopped once Sketchy, who had just woken up, walked out on wobbly legs
"Oh this is just great! Amazing start to our vacations" Max whispered to herself
"Lets just get to our seats and try to sleep for the rest of the trip or something. Oh and grab a plane blanket or something, your fly is open" Logan whispered in her ear
"No kidding" Max curled up on her seat and asked Marie for a blanket before trying to fall asleep
She tossed and turned as much as she could on the small seat until finally sleep overtook her
************
"Max, wake up baby" Logan shook her awake
Max groaned "You know, that's the second time you've woken me up today..."
"HELLO PASSANGERS!" Marie's voice startled Max and she jumped
"I guess she got the mike working" Logan rubbed his ears
"The entire crew of this plane thanks you for flying with us. We hope you had a pleasant trip. We will be arriving at Durango's airport in five minutes..."
Logan and Max looked up, their eyes wide
"DURANGO?"
