A/N: Because I thought the idea of the other people on the flight was interesting. For your reading pleasure, I have for you a few one-shots about other people that were on flight 815. They are all original or semi-original characters, though there are no Mary Janes. That's right, you won't find 'so and so was Sawyer's lover.' Now, if these characters died or if they are somewhere on the island, while I guess it's really what you think.

Also, I'm going with a guess and saying the plane crashed six hours after take off.

Disclaimer: I do not own the idea for 'Lost'. I do own all characters that do not appear of the show. Also, I do not own any quotes or song lyrics, they belong to whoever wrote them.

Airplane Restrooms: The Place Where Fates Are Decided

Two Hours and Ten Minutes Before the Crash

Girl knows things; things she shouldn't, things she couldn't.-Firefly; 'Objects in Space'

It made Tam Shepard giggle when her uncle told her she shouldn't go to the restroom alone. As if anything bad could happen to her on a plane. Well, at that moment anyway. Tam knew nothing bad was due to happen for another two hours and ten minutes. And after that, well the badness would happen and happen and happen.

The fifteen year old stood outside the restrooms and waited her turn. She was not surprised when a little boy joined her a moment later. After all airplanes were not know for having a huge number of restrooms. "There are people in there." Tam stated. "We have to wait a bit."

The boy, who Tam decided was about ten, nodded. He stood awkwardly across from her. "Okay." He sounded a little sad.

"I'm Tam." Tam told him.

The boy made a face, clearly he did not like her name. "Walt." He told her after a moment.

Tam smiled. "Are you going to California? I am. I have to live with my grandparents now."

Walt seemed interested. "Why?"

She looked around before leaning closer. "My Da and Mum are dead. They died a few months ago. It took hospital a long time to find my grandparents on my Mum's side. I wanted to stay where I was living. It was nice there, nicer then our last place." Walt just looked at her. Tam shrugged. "We moved around a lot. Da and Mum liked to travel, I guess."

Walt nodded, understanding. "Yeah." He ideally made round circles on the carpet using the foot of his sneaker. "I have to live with my Dad. My Mom died and I couldn't stay with my other Dad."

Tam smiled. "Sucks to be us."

Walt returned a shadow of a smile. "Yeah."

They were silent for a bit.

"Could form a club." Tam volunteered suddenly. "Have meetings and tee-shirts. But, we won't know each other long enough for all that." She sighed. "Oh well, it was a nice idea."

Walt gave Tam a confused look. When the first restroom became free a moment later, he quickly went in it and did not look back.

That was when Tam knew. Walt would be alright. He and his beloved Vincent and Michael would be alright. And even though she knew that in the end she would not be alright, the thought that Walt would made her a little happier. The two of them had their fates decided and they could not change it.

As Tam walked into the opposite restroom, it made her giggle because it was then that she realized that their fates had been decided outside airplane rest rooms.
