Chapter 2: Airplane Flight Part 1

"Guuuuuh, when are we getting on the dreaded plane…" Sonic groaned.

"Sonic, I can't believe you! Why would you jump into a deep HOLE!" Tails rambled on about how dangerous Sonic's little adventure was.

"Oh my gosh, Sonikku, I know just what to do! We can look through the crowd and see who's cute!" Amy suggested.

"Do what you guys want, but I'm reading a book," Blaze flicked her tail as she turned the page to her book.

"I wonder if she'll be okay. I mean…I hope the spike trap before her works…and the hole I dug before the spike trap works…and the rope loop…and the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," Knuckles muttered to a picture of his Master Emerald, hugging the picture.

Rouge was all the way across the room, flirting with someone who she doesn't even know. Oh, who has the courage to do that but the bat…

Shadow was dozing off lightly.

"Hey, Sonic. Do you want to play some games?" Silver waved.

Finally. Something that's not annoying or boring.

*Romance in Japan*

Kirby died again because of the startling announcement that their plane was ready for boarding.

"Aw man, I was so close to beating that freakish-monster-boss!" Sonic exclaimed.

"You mean the…uh…I don't even remember his name," Silver sweatdropped.

"Nevermind that, let's go!" Tails said, dragging his luggage and heading towards the woman waiting in front of a big glass door.

Rouge had returned to the group of furries and pulled her bags and followed the kid, giving Shadow a nudge while passing him. The black hedgehog's eyes snapped open and he looked around. Without a word, he stood up and grabbed his suitcase. Silver made his white backpack fly behind him, a strange aura surrounding him and the bag. Blaze walked lightly on her heels, making practically no sound at all. She'd packed all her things in with Silver's backpack, and so she only held onto her passport, ticket, and some books. Knuckles' heavy shoes stomped on the ground, the loud metal clinking sound mixing with the chatters of other people who were waiting for their flight to be called. Amy happily skipped after the others, her—thank god, for once—orange suitcase with red stripes on the sides rolling behind her.

Seeing that everyone had left, Sonic went after his friends with only his passport (which he found really annoying to get) and his ticket in hand. He held a small notebook and some pencils, along with a white headphone with the ridges colored green.

Passport and tickets, please," she asked politely.

Tails dug into his two tails, handing the requested things to the woman. She gave it back when she'd gotten a look from the things she needed to check and ripping a part of the ticket off.

Next was Amy. She took a rather long time, flipping through her purse, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…

Rouge swiped the passport and the right fight from between her two 'lady lumps' and showed it to her. "Hey, unbutton that first one. Show some neck. And higher heels would look better on you, sweetie. Trust me," she flashed the woman a smirk and a small wink before flying to catch up with a blob of pink and orange, leaving the woman red faced.

After all of the eight mobians had gone through the screen door, they were now in the entrance gate where metal walls trapped them. The rumblings of wheels rolling and hitting the steal ground was echoing and bouncing off the walls as many people walked and walked…and walked. Finally, they saw the end of the gate.

Another woman, in her uniform of black and white along with a bright red bow, next to the entrance to the plane welcomed them aboard the Universal Airline and bowed. The group of eight made their way into the narrow corridors of the plane and searched for their plane seats.

Sonic looked at his ticket. It said Row 33, C. 27…28…29…skip, skip, skippity skip…ah, Row 33, C. Sonic thought.

The eight mobians found their seats, put their luggage up above them, and settled down. But during the process, you can be sure that there were a lot of chaos. Either they got their hair pulled or they got kicked or stepped on.

In the four middle seats, Sonic sat to the very left with Amy next to him, her seating number was Row 33, D. As much as the pink girl hated the fact that Knuckles' locks kept on poking at her, she still let him sit without making him tie it up into a ponytail. The echidna's seating number was Row 33, E. Tails' namesakes swished excitedly under his seat, tickling the emergency life suit. The number he had was Row 33, F.

The two seats on the left sat Shadow and Rouge, the hedgehog's number was 33, A and the bat's number was 33, B. (You all can figure out the pattern by now) The opposite window seats were Silver and Blaze, with Blaze closest to the window. Silver had 33, G and Blaze had gotten the last seat, 33, H. The naïve albino hedgehog couldn't get happier, while Blaze had nothing to feel. Shadow had hoped to sit alone, but ah, what can he do if Rouge had gotten the seat next to him? Said bat was too busy teasing the hedgehog about his pad of chestfur and how out of place yet cute it was to see the death glares she'd been receiving. Well, maybe she was ignoring it on purpose.

Ten minutes had passed, and just as Sonic was getting bugged at how they still weren't going yet, the plane shifted and its engine roared to life. Tails hastily muffled his ears to reduce the loud rumbling, and Rouge covered her ears just like Tails. Blaze growled a little and let her ears drop down against her skill. The rest of the hedgehog's' ears twisted in every direction uncontrollably as if they were doing some well practiced dance that was so complex, there weren't any order to them. And Knuckles…well, he didn't appear to have ears…Maybe it was hidden under his long quills. But either way, he wasn't bothered.

A sound echoed throughout the airplane and a man's voice came on. "Welcome aboard the Universal Airline, and thank you for flying with us. We want to make sure that your flights are safe and comfortable, so before we take off, we will be showing a brief safety presentation." The small screens in the middle of the plane slid down and a blonde haired woman started to go over the rules.

"All carry on items should now be stored securely. It should either be on top in the shelf, or under the seat in front of you. The aisles should be clear. Your mobile phones and other electronics like laptops and itouches should be shut off. Once airborne, we'll let you know when you will be able to use approved electronic devices, but note that some items such as phones may not be used during this flight at any time. You'll find a list of approved electronics in the In Flight Information section of Sky Magazine in the pocket on the back of the seat you have in front of you. If you are seated next to the emergency exits, please take the responsibility to read the Emergency Exit Seating on the back of the information magazine. If you're not able or prefer not to perform this function, just let us know and we'll be happy to find you another seat. As we leave the gate, please make sure that your seatbelt is fastened. To fasten, insert the metal tip into the buckle, and adjust the strap so it's low and tight across your lap."

"Oh my Chaos, why is this taking so long?" Sonic whispered, but Tails just 'shhh!'ed at him and he stayed quiet.

"To release the buckle, just lift the top of the remain seated with your seatbelts securely fastened, anytime the seatbelt sign is on. And even if the seatbelt sign is off, you should keep it on, in case we get unexpected rough air. For everyone's safety, the federal regulations require all passengers to comply with the posted placards and lighted signs located throughout the cabin. Smoking is not allowed on any Universal flight."

Then the woman began to discuss the exits and how things work. If there is a power outage, emergency floor lights will be found near your seats, and all that. And then, she told the passengers about how the panels above their seats will open and gas masks will drop down, and explained the directions of how to put it on. Then, the life rafts and how they were under your seats and how to put it on correctly. The last few things that were mentions is that your seats should be upright and your tray tables should be put away. After talking a little more, the video was concluded with a, 'thank you' and the screens went to a map of where they were now and the line of the rout they will be taking and how much more hours left. It said 14 hours. Tails checked his wrist watch. It was 10:26 A.M. They should arrive at about 12:30 A.M. in the next day, but judging on the time difference, it should be something different.

The rumbling got worse, and the plane started moving very slowly.

Shadow closed his eyes again, and seeing that, Rouge followed suit. Sonic took the magazine and flipped it through quickly, not paying any attention at the instructions and the words that were printed on there. Amy held hands with Sonic as she settled her head lightly on top of Sonic's peach shoulder, closing her eyes as well. Knuckles crossed his arms across his chest and criss crossed his legs as well, staring at the small screen above him. Silver looked outside the window just like Blaze was.

Now gliding, the plane gained speed second by second, and within a nauseous moment, it lifted off the ground, giving you the feeling of being stuck in the air yet still moving forwards. Sonic didn't seem to be too bothered with the feeling, and he looked around. Amy still had her eyes closed, Tails was still reading, Knuckles eventually shut his eyes, Blaze settled back into her seat and folded her arms, looking ahead, with Silver still taking interest of the things out the window. His eyes slid to the left. Both the bat and the hedgehog didn't have their eyes open. Rouge looked more like an innocent and beautiful person, and Shadow looked less serious. Sonic's emerald gaze quickly passed over Rouge, and was just about to close his own eyes as well before quickly turning back to her direction. The ebony hedgehog didn't look like the serious and menacing self…at all. He looked peaceful. Light spirited. Young. Beautiful, even.

Sonic quickly shook his head. The vibrations from the plane was finally getting to him, he thought. He shut his eyes and let his mind go blank.

Uhh...Look guys, I don't remember much from the airplane flights and how things work. Go easy on me and not be so picky? I apoligize! *bows*

HAHAHAHAHA! Whatchu gonna do?! I left you off with that! Part two will be coming~
I searched up a video on youtube and it helped me with most of the stuff I just typed about the instructions for the plane...I reworded many of the sentences, but I still want to disclaim that most of the stuff came from the video. If it didn't, I would've had a very hard time explaining...
