On the Plane

Sirius leaned back in his seat and put his feet up on the seat in front of him. "This isn't half bad," he commented to Remus, as the person sitting in front of Sirius turned around to give him a dirty look.

"Would you mind putting your feet down?" Autumn asked sweetly.

"But I just got comfortable!" Sirius whined.

"Fine," Autumn started, "as long as you're comfy nothing else matters."

"You're so sweet!" Sirius exclaimed, patting Autumn on the head.

The plane had taken off a little over an hour ago and so far all they saw out their windows was ocean. Miles and miles of ocean.

"How much longer Remy?" Sirius asked.

"Five minutes after the last time you asked," Remus answered.

"So that would be uhh..." Sirius held up all ten of his fingers and started counting. "Five more hours to go."

"You really might have brains up there," Remus said amazed.

Just then the flight attendant made an announcement that a movie would begin playing shortly and that she would be coming around with refreshments.

The many small television screens lit up, and people glanced up to see what movie was playing. The Great West.

"Oh God," James complained.

"What?" Lily asked, who happened to be sitting next to him.

"I hate old timie western movies. Wake me when we land."

As the movie started, a very pretty flight attendant began passing out drinks. When she got nearer to them, Sirius let out a small sigh. "What may I get you to drink?" she asked Sirius politely. He grinned and said "a coke please. You know, you have got to be one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen! Eyes that sparkle like diamonds, perfect complexion....I just know that you can't possibly be single." The flight attendant giggled.

"Excuse me, do you serve alcohol on this plane?" Ariel questioned the flight attendant.

She glared at her and answered "Not to anyone under twenty-one."

"Then can I get some ginger ale? I think I'm gonna be sick..."

Five Looong Hours Later

Everyone stood by the gate while Sirius and the flight attendant exchanged numbers. He gave her one final wet kiss and a quick wink before walking towards his friends.

"I swear, can you go anywhere without a snog?" James asked while grinning.

"Well, what was I supposed to do? The poor girl was all over me!"

Remus rolled his eyes and asked "What number did you give her anyway?"

"Autumn's cell, of course!"

"WHAT?!" Autumns yelled. "I don't want some horny, thirty year old flight attendant calling me!"

"I couldn't just reject her! She was recently dumped..."

"Oh, yeah, that'll help ease her pain. 'I met this super hot guy with a funny accent on the plane, he said I had sparkling eyes, and I just melted right there on the spot; I just know that he's my soul mate!'" Ariel said dramatically.

"Do you really think I'm super hot?"

Ariel slapped her forehead and began walking away.

After a quick stop at Cinnabon they went to get their luggage.

"Ooooo....." Sirius said while heading towards the ramps.

"No, you can't ride it." Remus said.

"Where is my bag?" Lily said, getting frustrated. Everyone else had their luggage and only a few small boxes were still making rounds on the ramp.

"Maybe it fell into the ocean on the way here," Sirius suggested, intently watching the ramp, going around and around....

"This is just fantastic!" Lily exclaimed throwing up her arms. "Now our trip is going to be delayed because the stupid airlines lost my luggage! I had everything planned!"

"Lily, it's not the end of the world," James said putting an arm around her. "Road trips are way better when not planned, and as for your luggage, you're a witch, summon it."

"I love you!" Lily exclaimed hugging James. "You're so smart!

"Now I've seen everything," Ariel said grinning. "Lily in love with James. Now those will be some cute kids."

Lily, not paying attention to Ariel's comment, summoned her trunk. With her luggage in her possession, Lily was completely happy. "Sorry I was all over you," Lily said to James.

"Noooo problem Lily dear," James said smiling widely.

"Now what?" Remus asked.

"Well," Lily said, taking charge, "first we should get a rental car and then we'll look for a hotel."

Taking off in a very brisk walk, Lily was soon far ahead of the rest of them.

"Should we even try to catch up?" James asked.

"Nah," Ariel answered. "When Lily's on a mission she doesn't like for people to get in her way. When she gets the car, she'll come back for us."

"I love a woman who knows what she wants," James said gazing off into space.

"Don't tell me you're falling for Lily?" Ariel said.

"Nooo!" James exclaimed. "Me and Lily....nahhh...."

"Uh huh," Ariel said grinning. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me."

Ariel walked away, leaving James quite dumbfounded. How do girls always know when you secretly have a crush on their best friend?

After a few minutes, Lily returned looking quite pleased. "I got a rental car," she said. "And a couple coupons for hotels in the area. I swear, all you have to do is bat your eyelashes at a guy and he'll give you anything."

"That is so not true!" Sirius said.

"Yes it is," Autumn said.

"Is not! Is not! Is not!"

"Sheesh," Autumn said. "All guys are immune to girls. Happy?"

"Very," Sirius answered giving her a 'I told you so' kinda look.

"Can you guys stop arguing?" Remus asked.

"She started it!" Sirius said pointing a finger at Autumn.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did not!"

"Guys! Chill!"

Sirius and Autumn exchanged evil glances but did listen to Remus, and stopped arguing.

"Is everyone ready to go?" Lily asked.

"Yup," Ariel answered.

"Got your luggage; have to use the bathroom?" Lily questioned.

"Yes....no!" Ariel said. "Will you stop acting like my mother."

"Sorry," Lily said, "but I don't want anyone to forget anything. We're on a very tight schedule."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" James asked. "Lets go!"
