As Mom, Domino and I hustled to get our bags to the check-in I looked around for a snack bar. We were early so I didnt know why were hustling but I didnt think about it anymore than needed. All I wanted was some food. Finally as we chacked-in our bags Domino's stomach growled, "Food..." he muttered.

"Dont worry, Im with you buddy." I replied.

Mom smiled, "This is why we were in a hurry, so we'd have enough time to get something to eat." she said as she led us to the snack-bar. Domino got 4 hot dogs covered in mustard, ketchup and onions. I stuck with 2 large chocolate muffins and a hamburger. Mom laughed as she saw us dig in like we would never eat again. "Dont rush, we have plenty of time." she said.

"Flight 45 to Alaska has been delayed an hour." said a voice on the intercom.

"Now we have even more time." she added. Domino and I didnt care though. All we wanted was some food in our stomach and eating slow wasnt going to get us to that goal any quicker. When I got done I knew I should've listened to her and im sure Domino felt the same. There was nothing to do at the airport except eat and we'd done enough of that. An hour to wait for the delay and half an hour for the original time. All in all that meant an hour and a half of boredom.

"I see with a little eye something pretty." said Domino.

"That Coca-Cola sign." I said noticing the brightly colored Coca-Cola sign.

"That blonde girl over there wearing the tube top." my mom said. I couldnt believe she said that either! She wasnt lesbian but she definently knew Domino as well as I did.

Domino nodded, "Yeah!! See Alex your mom knows the score!!" he smiled looking at the blonde. I sighed, I wasnt weird enought to think that way obviously. "I think im going to take a chance." he said standing up. I knew that phrase, it means go talk to someone you dont know and see if you'll get slapped. Domino had done it plenty of times though so I waved him off as he walked over to the blonde. I counted 2 minutes before he got slapped and walked back.

"Thank-you. You've officially wasted 2 minutes with that charade." I told him.

He smiled, "Anytime my friend, anytime."

I looked around for anything to do, an arcade maybe? Or at least a TV on with something other than advertisements. Yes!! Thank the heavens as I saw a small arcade area to my mother's right. I looked at her with big eyes and pointed. She smiled and gave me 20 dollars. Domino and I raced off as soon as the bill touched my hand. "Me and you. Shooting Game. Now." I said sternly as I got coins and put an equal amount in Domino's hand.

He nodded, "Ill whoop you anytime, anyday." he replied viciously. Sadly...he did just that as I lost completly. I hit 5 ducks and you may say Hooray!! to that but not when Domino hit 35. This loss hurt me inside.

Thats how our hour and a half went. Video games, get something to drink, video games, bathroom and video games again. When we got out of the bathroom for a second time my mom told us it was time to go. Finally was all I could blurt out. I didnt like losing to Domino but the games were fun. Mom walked up the ramp with ease not even looking around unlike me who couldnt keep his eyes on one thing. I looked down the airport landing site and into the sky where the other airplanes were. Domino grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the plane. Mom took the windown seat, I was next to her and Domino was next to the isle. Mom ordered some chicken tenders for us to share. They didnt last long though, we still had four hours on the plane though so Domino and I filled up 3 and a half hours of that sleeping. Ahh...but everyone wants to know about my dream dont they? Thought so:

I ran through the snow covered grounds with Domino. We were running from something large. It looked like a dog kind of but you cant be sure when your running can you? Thats besides the point though. Point is me and my buddy were about to get our heads bitten off and thats NOT good. Someone whipped the dog...shadow, cat, mouse thingy up though!! The person was a shadow and the It that was chasing us was as well so I couldnt tell. Everything went blurry from there...

Beautiful dream dont you think? Well hopefully all it signifies is pure nothing or I was in trouble. "Wake up sleeping beauty." said Domino as he poked me in the head. "Half an hour and we'll be there." he said. I sighed but said nothing, mom was reading a book.

"What should we do?" I asked knowing me and him hadnt packed a small bag with stuff to do to take on the plane with us.

Domino shrugged, "Lets play I Spy." he replied. I shook my head quickly, I was done with that game for sure. We did play half an hour of Truth or Dare without the dare and basic Simon Says. How fun was that? Dont ask... When we did finally land we were the the first ones off because we were the most anxious to do something that was at least slightly amusing. Once we were off the plane and went through the tedious business of getting our bags I searched around the area. It was bright and white out if that wasnt obivious. My mother had rented us a 3 bed, 2 bathroom redwood log cabin. It was clean and beautiful like the place that surrounded it. I knew I was going to have a fun time here...or so I thought.
