Chapter 14

Across the Atlantic and through the U.S. to Hawaii we go!

A/N: Hello, everybody! Here is the 14th chapter! Yay! Oh, and check out the site and sign the guestbook…the link is in my bio…byeness! Oh, and I have never been on a plane before, so if the descriptions aren't quite right, my apologies! ^_^ Oh and to zippity-bang orangutang…you want to MARRY Esquire?! Well, I suppose it could be arranged…at a later time in the book, though, obviously. Unless you were just kidding.

          I shall be updating this story EVERY SATURDAY!!!

          Severus felt like he was going to be sick. Dan's parents, who were obsessed with Muggles, had insisted they take a plane to Hawaii instead of simply go by Floo Powder.

          Severus had never been on a plane before, and he didn't want to ever again. He was squished between one snoring, extremely fat ma and a sugar loaded Esquire. Plus, he felt like he was going to barf any second.

          "PEANUTS!" shouted they hyper Esquire. He threw his peanuts, who was sitting in front of them.

          "Hey!" said Dan, laughing. He turned around and flung his peanuts at Esquire too.

          Severus groaned and slumped down in his seat. Exactly why had agreed to this trip in the first place?!

          "Crocodiles!"  shouted Esquire, and flung his lunch at Sev, which consisted of peas, mashed potatoes, and corn.

          The stuff got all over Severus' head. He shot a death glare at Esquire, who laughed nervously.

          Sev shakily got to his feet, still feeling sick to his stomach. He walked to the bathroom (which smelled like a mixture of urine, toxic waste, and soap) to wash himself off.

          When he had finished and was walking back to his seat, he saw Esquire and Dan engaged in the messiest food fight he had ever seen. He wondered why the other passengers didn't seem to mind and no one was stopping them.

          Sev sighed and sank into his seat. It was going to be a loooooonnnnngggggg flight…

          "We are arriving in Honolulu, Hawaii. Please fasten your seatbelts and put your seats in the upright position," said a voice over the intercom.

          Severus was very relieved. He had been barfing into his barf bag for the past 5 minutes, not that anyone had noticed or was complaining of the putrid smell. Now that he was done, where was he supposed to put his bag? He noticed a trash bag on a nearby rolly-table thing, and threw it in there.

          Since his seat was already in upright position (Sev liked to sit up straight no matter what), he buckled his seatbelt and prepared for landing.

          "The captain expects some turbulence," the voice announced.

          "Oh no," muttered Severus.

          The plan then shook violently for about 30 seconds, then stopped. Sev breathed again, only to have the plane shake once more. He sighed and banged his head against the back of his seat as the plane shook for quite some time. Finally, it stopped.

          About 6 minutes later, the plane landed smoothly on the ground. Severus gave a whoop of joy, and so did Esquire and Dan.

Instantaneously, all passengers unbuckled their seatbelts and got off of the plane, shoving past each other and calling out to their friends, and hoisting their luggage off. Severus got his luggage out of the compartment-thing above his head.

"Hey, Sev, can you give me mine?" asked Dave, who had been sitting in front of him.

"No," said Severus, and grabbed his suitcase and exited the plane.

Dave shook his head and got his suitcase. "That guy has problems," he said to Bill, who had been sitting next to him.

"We have to fix him," said Bill, grabbing his suitcase as well. "That's what Dan said."

Dave shrugged and left, Esquire running after him, screaming at Dave to slow down so he could catch up. Dave paid no heed to Esquire's yells and kept walking.

Bill shouted at Bob, who was sitting in another aisle of the plane for some reason, to follow him (Bob had been throwing up into his barf bag half of the trip, just like Sev), and they all went merrily on their way to the airport to claim the rest of their baggage-Baggage Claim! Yay!

"This beach house is really fancy…and big," said Severus approvingly, entering the beach house they were to be staying in. His words were true. The Caldwell Beach House was enormous, and filled with every luxury you could imagine. It had its own private beach and private boardwalk. You can probably guess that the Caldwells are loaded.

"I know," said Dan, and set down his suitcase. "I'm not blind, you know."

Sev smirked and set down his luggage too. He then collapsed onto a nearby sofa.

"Tomorrow…we surf!" declared Dan, as everyone else filed into the house. Everyone cheered, except Severus, who sat up immediately.

"WHAT?!" he exclaimed. "Tell me you're joking-please!"

Dan just smiled and said, "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."

A/N: Bwahahaha! Cliffhanger! You'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out if Dan was joking or not…review!
