Chapter 25

"I miss my family." Lizzie whined, not taking her eyes off her magazine.

"Lizzie, it's just twenty minutes after the plane took off! Come on, you can still call, send e-mail, SMS them, mail them..." Gordo rattled on, counting off his fingers. His eyes were still fixed on his crossword puzzle.

"Okay! Okay! I get the message! Seriously, I don't feel safe without my mommy." Lizzie snuggled into Gordo's arms.

"Hey Liz! There's Mean Girls playing on the screen now! Hey Gordo." Miranda popped up from behind the seat in front of them.

"Hey chica, I'm just so depressed!" Lizzie mumbled, not so audibly.

"Aww..." Gordo said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Lizzie whacked him on his arm and Gordo winced. Lizzie pouted and looked away, folding her arms across her chest.

"Sorry. I didn't mean it!" Gordo apologised.

"Hmmph..." was Lizzie's response. She turned around; unaware that Gordo's face was 2 inches away from her. Her lips brushed against his and he smiled.

"You naughty, naughty, naughty pervert!" Lizzie said playfully as she slapped him on his arm.

Lizzie laid her head on Gordo's chest and drifted away to dreamland, leaving Gordo to work out his crossword puzzle.

"The plane will be landing soon. The temperature in Hawaii is now 39 degrees Celsius. We hope you have enjoyed the flight." The announcement was then followed by a 'beep' sound, in which the air stewardess put down the intercom phone.

"Lizzie, Lizzie, wake up! We're arriving soon! Don't you want to look at the Hawaiian scenery?" Gordo gently nudged Lizzie awake.

"Hmm? ... Sleepy. Scenery, Hawaii. What?" Lizzie sat bolt right up in her seat. She rubbed her eyes and pulled the window clasp open.

"Wow! Look at the palm trees!" Lizzie couldn't help exclaiming.

"Yup, girl. You got it right. We're in Hawaii." Miranda laughed. "Where were you? In dreamland?"

"You never know. You never know." Lizzie murmured, still admiring the beautiful scenery.
