After they checked in their bags and showed I.D. to the security, they were on the plane. Pan's first surprise was their seats. Vegeta secured first class seats both ways! She'd never been on a plane before. Sure she ridden on the ships Bulma and Trunks had made but never on a commercial plane!

"Geta! This is amazing!" Pan's eyes were sparkling like bright onyx stars. She sat in the window seat and started to look out at the runway almost bouncing in her seat in her excitement. Vegeta was putting their carry-on bags in the above compartment, thoroughly amused at her childish antics. Once he was sitting in his seat, Pan started to watch the other people board the plane with fervent anticipation.

Once everyone was on board, the captain ran through all of the normal safety procedures. Then the seatbelt light came on. Vegeta naturally didn't bother. That would be when "Aiko" the flight attendant came in.

"Sir, you have to put your seatbelt on." She batted her eyelashes at him in a pathetic venture to seem seductive. When Vegeta made no move to either secure it or give her any acknowledgment, she grabbed one end of the seatbelt. Vegeta glared though it didn't seem to faze her.

"Ma'am, he can fasten his seatbelt." Pan's voice was mild and polite but she was struggling not to laugh at Vegeta. He switched his glare to Pan while he snatched the end of the seatbelt from Aiko's hand. Aiko glared at Pan while Vegeta's attention was on bucking his seatbelt. But when Vegeta looked over at her, annoyed that she was still there, her expression turned flirtatious again.

"If you need anything," she emphasized, "you just let me know, okay, handsome?" She winked and attempted to strut down the tiny isle. People had turned to watch the show, and whispered glancing at the attendant who seemed to eat up the attention she probably didn't realize was negative.

"Well," Pan said after a moment, "that was… awkward…."Her eyes were wide half with humor, half shock at the woman's brashness. Vegeta grunted more annoyed at the attendant's effort to be seductive toward him than before. It was Pan's vacation damn it! His temper was on a looser reign anyway due to the amount of sleep he got or lack thereof.

Vegeta was still annoyed despite Pan's attempts to calm him down a bit when they brought around the complementary drink cart. Pan smiled cautiously at Aiko, who was avidly admiring Vegeta's body the whole time. Much to Vegeta's revulsion.

"I would like a Ginger Ale please?"Pan requested cautiously. Aiko continued to ignore her even after Pan repeated her drink request. Apparently, being a polite woman got you nowhere with Aiko if she wanted your travel companion.

"What can I get you, Handsome?" Vegeta glared at her heatedly. If he had calmed down any before, his vexation was back with a vengeance. Pan sighed in exasperation at the woman and laid a gentle, discreet hand on his arm, calming him to a degree.

"She said she wanted Ginger Ale," he growled. He was ready to lose it. This girl was nuts! Aiko glared at Pan almost viciously. She poured Vegeta drink and placed into in front of him. Then moved on giving other people their drinks, never giving Pan her drink. "The other Ginger Ale?" Vegeta growled furious.

"Oh, did I not give one to her?" Aiko asked endeavoring to sound and look innocent. Vegeta glared as he gesture to her empty tray. "I'm so sorry! It must have slipped my mind. How silly of me!" Aiko then proceeded to spill the drink all over Pan's outfit. Pan shrieked in surprise causing the cabin to see Aiko pour the rest on her. "Oh how clumsy of me! I'm so sorry dear!" Aiko glared at her. The other attendant not paying any attention to what he just saw.

Vegeta's eyes were flashing and he was struggling not to let loose in the plane no doubt killing everyone in the plane except them. Pan tried not to panic. Calming Vegeta was not an easy feat as she well knew. She put a hand on his forearm.

"Calm down, Vegeta," Pan murmured in his ear. "She's being stupid. She doesn't know who she's messing with. Calm down. She will pay in full when we land if you so choose, Vegeta-sama." He still looked furious. "Calm," She stated gently. Aiko, looking at Pan disgusted, finally got out of Vegeta's face and moved onto the next seats. "We can report her later, Geta, calm. I need to go to clean up a bit so please let me through okay?" He nodded appeased. "Thank you."

Pan went into the minuscule restroom in the back of the plane and cleaned herself up as best as she could, then returned to Vegeta. He was sulking. "Geta, really, relax. It's okay she'll get what she has coming."

"This was not the way your vacation was supposed to start," Vegeta stated quietly, still very unhappy. Pan knew better than to hug him in public so she squeezed his forearm gently.

"I have a spare set of clothes in my carry-on. I'll just change when we land. It'll be fine. Don't let her get to you because I'm not going to let her get to me. "

True to her word, Pan didn't let Aiko get to her. Vegeta however, almost lost it three… four more times? The moment they landed in Paris, Pan was shocked. Why Paris? Not that it's not amazingly gorgeous but… it was a little random. Unless he had a house in the country or something? He'd hate being close to everything with all the noise….

"Don't be too long. This is just the lay over spot." He told her as he went to go report Aiko. "I'll meet you in front of the restrooms." That made more sense to her so she nodded happily. Curiosity was going to kill her!

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry for the long wait. I have no excuse except life is crazy.

Have a great week!
