VIII. Geoff and Izzy

Izzy hated planes. After the compitition, though, everyone rode one back home. Everyone was split up, only one or two people per plane depending where in Canada they lived, so she didn't even have the extra comfort of having Owen with her.

Curled into a fetal position, she had a vague look of panic, naseua and terror on her face. Her arm rest had tears in it from where she had gripped it so hard. Even the inflight movie terrorized her-- although it was a stupid choice on behalf of the airlines. Really, who would show 'Snakes on a Plane' to a plane full of passengers?

Geoff, however, was much more laid back when on planes. Sure, his ears popped, but that was really his only annoyance. But, with his former competition sitting and quite possibly crying next to him, he couldn't really mellow out.

It was okay until an unexpected bout of turbulance set the plane into a small panic and Izzy threw up all over his lap and shoes. Damnit, he had just got those before the competition!

Pushing the "assistance needed" button above his head, he waited for the stewardess to come with something to help wipe the... excess off so he could waddle to the lavatory, change into his clothes that he had packed into his carry on and shove his clothes into a plastic bag.

After somehow getting changed int he cramped space, he started his way back, satisfied to find that the stewardesses had cleaned up his seat and gotten him a can of coke.

"S-sorry," said Izzy, uncharacteristically quiet and meek, her hair pulled back, showing that her face was clammy and somewhat red.

"It's not your fault that you're scared." He said, leaning back a bit. "I don't blame you."

Izzy leaned back, too. Closing her eyes, she attempted to drown out the fact that she was up in a plane.

"You're more likely to get eaten by sharks then die in a plane crash," Geoff offered up. "And since none of the lake's sharks got you, I say you're good."

Izzy said nothing, but smiled a little and attempted not to vomit again.

Within the next half hour, they were both asleep.

End.

I'd still like some suggestions! :D
