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.
Bernard
Seven Minutes Until the Crash
"He always had me hold his wedding ring."- Rose, Lost
Whenever they flew he always had her hold his wedding ring. He couldn't quit remember why, but Bernard knew that Rose remembered. She was always good at remembering things like that. To him they were just old habits, but to Rose they meant something. Bernard knew that Rose's ability to remember all kinds of things was one of the many reasons he loved her.
When they had been waiting in line, Rose had asked for Bernard's wedding ring and he had given it up without any argument. It was they way they did things. Habits that they couldn't break. In a way, the whole ring thing made them both feel a little better. It made his fingers feel better anyway.
Now they were roughly six hours into their flight and Bernard was feeling anxious. Rose wasn't the biggest fan of flying and she was nervous, which made Bernard nervous. He just had a feeling in the pit of his stomach and he was certain it wasn't from the meal.
"Rose," Bernard glanced over at his wife. "honey, I think I'm just going to head back to the restroom for a minute."
Rose smiled at Bernard and got up so he could leave. She bumped into the arm of the seat opposite them and told the anxious man sitting there that she was sorry. Bernard just made an 'ops' face and headed back to the restroom.
On his way there, he passed by a rather pregnant young girl and wondered where the father was. It dawned on him that the girl must not be married. Young people. He also passed by a young man that looked like he had ants in his pants. Bernard shook his head sadly and continued on his way.
When he got to the tiny restroom, he went on in. When Bernard was finished, he headed back to Rose; however, he was forced to stop at one point as the young man from earlier ran down the aisle. What one God's green Earth was going on? It was then that he felt the plane move in a very shaky way. He suddenly thought of Rose and started toward his wife again. But, the plane was shaking even more now and people were moving about like pin balls in a machine. Oxygen masks were following from above. Bernard had no choice but to quickly sit and put a seat belt on. He grabbed an oxygen mask and thought of Rose.
A/N: There you have it. Ten chapters of what different people were going through or doing right before or during the flight. I'm finished with this series now; however, you might get more from me. I'm tossing around ideas for a couple of new series. Maybe some 100 word drabbles? Or a series about some survivors that aren't in the spot light or maybe a whole new group that were in the back of the plane and are on a different island near by-could call it 'Missing'.
