Sandy, Kirsten, Ryan, Marissa and Summer all run through the airport, having little time to get to the gate before the plane took off. They arrived at the gate during final boarding, and barely made it onto the plane. Sandy and Kirsten were seated next to each other, and a few rows back, Ryan, Marissa and Summer were all sitting in the same row. Ryan, who had reached their seats first sat down next to the window, with Marissa in the middle, and Summer on the isle. Ryan stared out the window, while Marissa and Summer were chit-chatting. A few minutes later, the plane pulled back from the gate and went out to the runway. The plane made a weird creaking noise before accelerating and taking off.
Ryan: What the hell was that?
Marissa: What?
Ryan: That noise.
Summer: What's wrong with you Chino? You're acting like you've never been on a plane before.
Ryan just looked over at Summer.
Marissa: Oh, you've never been on a plane before.
Ryan shook his head and turned and looked out the window. He immediately realized the ground was getting farther and farther away.
Ryan: Oh, God.
Ryan reached over and slammed the shutter to the window down and clinched the armrests with his hands.
Marissa: It's okay Ryan, you're only 33,000 feet up in the air.
Ryan closed his eyes.
Ryan: Oh yeah, twist the knifeā¦feels good.
Marissa smiled and leaned over and gave Ryan a kiss on the cheek, and reached down and unclenched his hand from the armrest and held it in hers. Ryan was intent on keeping his eyes closed for the entire flight, but about five minutes later the entire plane shook, Ryan immediately opened his eyes and shot the window shutter up.
Marissa: You know, if you're afraid of heights, maybe you shouldn't look out the window.
Ryan: I'm just making sure the plane isn't plummeting us down towards our death.
Marissa: (Laughing a little) It's just turbulence Ryan, it's normal.
Ryan: There is nothing normal about being 33,000 feet up in the air.
Ryan reached over and closed the shutter again
Not entirely too long later Kirsten, Ryan, Marissa and Summer were standing in the lobby of their hotel waiting for Sandy to return with their keys.
Sandy: All right, I got us three rooms.
Sandy passed out room keys to everybody.
Sandy: Kirsten, you and I are in 301, Marissa and Summer, you two are in 303, and Ryan, you're in 305.
Kirsten: Why don't we go up to our rooms and get settled, then we can go out and look for Seth.
Sandy: You know what, I'm going to go find the police station now; I'll catch up with you guys in a few.
Sandy handed his bag to Ryan and the rest of them took off for their rooms while Sandy headed out the front doors of the hotel. Ryan dropped Sandy's bag off in Kirsten's room before walking down the hall to his. Ryan opened the door and walked in, there was a nice view of the ocean out his window and two full size beds. Ryan set his stuff down on one of the beds and walked around his room when suddenly there was a knock on his door. Ryan walked over to the door and opened it.
Marissa: Hey.
Ryan: Hey.
Marissa walked past Ryan and into the room. Ryan closed the door and turned towards her, she was standing next to the window. Ryan came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Marissa turned around in Ryan's arms so she was facing him. Ryan leaned down and kissed her, something they hadn't been doing much of over the past couple days.
Marissa: Mmm, I missed this.
Ryan smiled at her and the two let go of each other. Ryan walked over to his bag and picked up one of the two room keys that Sandy had given him. Ryan returned to Marissa and slipped it into her pocket without her noticing.
Ryan: I think we should head down to the dock and see if we can find Seth.
Marissa: Okay, let's get Summer before we go.
Ryan and Marissa picked up Summer and told Kirsten they were going to the dock. About ten minutes later they were walking up a pier looking for either Seth, or Seth's boat, but so far they were having no luck. Out of nowhere, Summer let out a yell.
Summer: Oh my God, is that him?
