Wo-man With a Plan
We get out of the school and start walking down the streets to what seems like nowhere in particular. After walking awhile, I start getting impatient and ask, "Do you have any idea where we're going?"
"Vaguely." He replies, not looking at me.
"So you're lost?"
"No, I just can't remember where I came into this world from relative to where we are now."
"Describe where you came into this world and I'll try to figure it out for you."
"There were tall mountains. And lots of people wearing backpacks."
"So the Appalachians or the Rockies, probably. Which direction did you have to go to get here?"
"East."
"Rockies, then. We probably have to go to Colorado.............that's quite a ways from here."
"How do you suggest we get there quickly, then?"
"Plane. But I know you probably don't want to part with all your weapons, so we'll have to sneak on. That'll be pretty tricky."
"That and my abdomen has metal in it."
"All the more reason to find another way in. Hmm, I wonder if Ayame's parents own a small plane that happens to be at the local airport..........."
"What the heck are you talking about?"
"Shush. I gotta make a phone call." I take out my cell phone and start scrolling through the contacts.
"Ok..................."
I find the number I'm looking for and hold it to my ear, listening to the rings and tapping my foot impatiently. Finally, Ayame picks up. "Hello?" She says sleepily.
Ooops, forgot the several hours time difference between Ohio and Moscow. "Hey, it's Momoko."
"Oh, hey Momoko. Why're you calling so early?"
"Well, it's only early to you. But I'm calling 'cause I'm wondering if your parents own a small plane."
"Yeah, they do. They last left it at a small airport in Ohio."
"Would it happen to be the Blue Ash airport?"
"Yeah, that's it. It's white with red stripes on the side. And I think the cover on it's a really light khaki color."
"Alright, you mind if I borrow it?"
"What for?"
"I got a person with a lot of metal in their body, so I'm gonna try to avoid security at the international airport."
"Oh, cool. Yeah, I don't think my parents will mind, as long as you don't damage it."
"Thanks."
"Do you even know how to fly?"
"Nope. I'm gonna go to a bookstore though."
"Why?"
"To get that Flying for Dummies book."
"You're suicidal. But have fun!"
"Alright. Talk to you later, Ayame."
"Bye."
I hang up and turn to Sasori, who's looking at me dumbstruck. "What?"
"You're gonna fly even though you don't know how?" He asks.
"Yup. But we gotta go to the book store first."
"Flying for Dummies?" Sasori asks, staring at the cover of the book I was now carrying as we headed for the Blue Ash airport.
"Yup. I'm gonna use it to figure out how to fly." I reply, smiling a little bit.
"Great. You're probably gonna get us killed."
"Maybe. But then again, I could use my mind to make the plane do some cool tricks if worse comes to worse. Besides, we aren't going that far."
"Ugh, what did I get myself into?"
I don't answer as we had arrived at the airport. I head out to the planes and start looking for the one Ayame's parents own. I find it a couple minutes later.
"Here it is." I say, taking the cover off.
"We're gonna fly in THIS out to Colorado?" He asks, shocked.
"No, silly! This is how we're gonna avoid security!"
"I don't get it."
"We're gonna fly to the international airport and find a plane that's headed to Colorado. Then we just sneak aboard. Other than the flying to the international airport, it's easy."
"This is so suicidal." He says as he climbs in, taking the passenger seat.
"Probably." I say, climbing into the pilot's seat. "But it's the only way I can think of."
"Great. Just great."
