Another chapter :D :D :D :D I've got bits of Matt/Emily in here for all you Memily lovers (not much though since i can never seem to hear the character voices in my head when I write about them) Anyway... *Spoilers/refrences to 5.4 and later episodes* Somehow my muse can't resist adding in the extra bits: Don't own anything except the plot...
Enjoy :D
"Shotgun!" Connor called as he passed his and Abby's suitcase to Matt to place in the back of the truck.
"Hell no! You rode shotgun last time!" Becker complained, putting his and Jess' suitcase in above Matt's and Emily's.
"Emily called Shotgun before the pair of you so your both in the back. And two of you are going to have to play siamese twins and share a seatbelt since there's only five seats."
"Oh that's 'kay then. I'll sit on Abby's lap." Connor shot a devious grin to Abby and she rolled her eyes.
"I'll sit in the middle." Jess said casually, patting Becker on the arm as she walked around the truck and slid inside. She was only in the truck for a couple of minutes before the feeling of something crawling up her arm made her jump back out, quickly examining herself.
"You okay?" Becker asked her quietly as he stood beside her.
Jess laughed lightly, glancing up at him. "Yeah, I'm fine."
His eyes narrowed. "You sure?"
"Yup." she slid back in beside Abby who sat on Connor's lap with the seatbelt around the both of them and quickly did up her seatbelt as Becker slid in beside her.
"I hate riding in the back..." Becker muttered as Matt closed the trunk and got into the drivers seat, Emily grinning away in the passengers seat.
"Just be glad you're not next to Connor." Jess whispered to him. Her pulse quicken when she realised just how close they were to each other. Their arms were practically touching, sending sparks down Jess' arm.
"I'm so cold." Jess shivered as Becker placed his jacket around her shoulders as he sat himself down beside her, wrapping his arms around her. "I'm so cold..."
"I know, I know. You're safe. You've got a fever" Becker replied as Emily passed him a bottle of water. "You need to drink this, and that's an order."
"You're mean, you know that." Jess replied, her breath coming in short as she struggled to keep herself warm.
Becker sighed "Yes, I do know that. I'm very mean. Now drink this." The tip of the bottle gently touched Jess' lips as she took in a small amount of water. Jess shivered again as Becker placed the water bottle on the roof of the truck.
"I... I hate you" Jess coughed.
"No you don't." Becker replied quickly as he wrapped his arms more firmly around her. Jess shivered more as Becker gently shushed her.
"I'm sorry." Jess replied quietly. "You're nice really. You've got... lovely hair, and I thought you were..." Jess' voice trailed off as darkness threatened to take her.
Becker's arms tightened around her, his lips gently kissing the top of her hair.
They were all talking. The only one that seemed to noticed Jess' lack of attention was Abby who glanced over at her as she stared off in front of her. Jess blinked several times. And... she's back Abby thought. Jess turned her head and smiled when she noticed Abby watching her. "You okay?" Abby mouthed.
Jess nodded as she tried to get caught up with what the others were talking about.
o.O~O.o
"Connor stop it..." Abby laughed.
"What? I'm not doing anything!" He replied with a sly grin on his face. He shifted underneath her and she glared at him. "What?" he laughed.
"I know what you're doing and you need to stop it!" She grabbed his hand just as he was about to poke her in the ribs again. "Don't! Or I'll get Matt to sit on you and I'll drive."
Connor laughed, gently kissing her neck. "Sorry Abby..." he whispered. Jess couldn't help but notice that he wasn't, for a single second, sorry about what he'd been doing. She rolled her eyes as she waited for the other three to come out of the petrol station.
"They do understand that we're on a tight schedule, right?" Jess sighed as she stuck her head out of the open window, letting the fresh breeze waken her up.
"It's just our luck that Action Man forgot to fill the tank... he should miss the plane while we're all happily aboard it."
"Connor! That's mean!" Jess exclaimed glaring at him while still having her head sticking out this window.
"Jess is right. That is a bit harsh Connor. He deserves this holiday just as much as you do. Possibly more." Abby added.
"Yey, they're coming!" Jess said happily as she slid back into her spot next to Abby and Connor.
Matt, Emily and Becker all slid back into their seats and belted up. "Here's your gum Connor." Matt held his hand out and dropped the small packet into Connor's waiting hand and turned back and started up the car.
Jess watched Becker expectantly. "Did you get me the chocolate?"
Becker took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing. "I don't think so..." he frowned. Jess' face fell until she noticed the grin that had replaced his frown. He held out the bar of plain dairymilk chocolate. "Nothing with orange in it."
Jess beamed.
In the front seats, Matt and Emily glanced at each other, grins on both of their faces as the car pulled out of the petrol station and continued towards the airport.
o.O~O.o
"Don't worry, I'm a train soldier. How hard is it to find the boarding gate?" Becker sighed, surveying the area around him for any sign on which way to turn.
"That's what you said when we were looking for the operating room in that hospital, Mate. I ended up leading us back to the others." Connor piped in, pushing Jess and Abby on one of the trollies.
"Wasn't it Nancy that ended up leading you to us Conn? Cutter and I used one of the other diictodons to lure them all back. You just followed the noise they were making."
"Yeah, well I wasn't the one scared of a little 'ratty-chipmunk-beaver-thing' unlike a certain Action Man we know."
"Temple, shut up." Becker growled. "This way guys."
Jess looked down at the six tickets in her hands, a small frown creasing her forehead as she read them. "Guys these... these are first class. Lester's given us first class tickets! I can't believe I didn't notice that before!"
"Let me have a look" Abby said, reaching over Jess' shoulder. Connor was still pushing the two of them through the airport with a couple of the suitcases while Matt and Emily had the others, Becker walking in the front. Abby laughed. "He may try to hide it but Lester definitely loves us."
"Guys hurry up!" Becker called impaitently.
"Maybe Jess should go and keep him company while the rest of us casually make our way over." Connor suggested quietly. "You're definitely sitting next to him in the plane."
"Shut up."
Connor and Abby both laughed as they arrived at the gate.
o.O~O.o
Connor and Abby settled themselves down in their window seats, watching as Becker lifted Jess' travel bag into the overhead compartments for her. "Those two have got to be the blindest emotional retards I have ever met..." Abby whispered.
"Maybe when they find out how the hotel arrangements are, they'll finally come to their senses" Connor replied with a grin.
"Connor... What did you do?"
He grinned mischievously "I may have called up and switched the sleeping arrangements around a bit in our suite..."
Abby rolled her eyes. "You're mean."
Connor leaned over and lightly kissed her, his grin still visible. "And you love me still."
"Get a room." Matt laughed as he and Emily made their way past the kissing couple and sat themselves down in their seats in front of them.
Matt smiled as Emily peered out of the small glass window, excitement and fear burning in her eyes. "I've never been on a plane before Matt. It just seems impossible, humans flying..."
"I know what you mean." He replied. "I never got the chance to go on one."
"Lucky for you both that you have us helping you along!" Connor laughed from behind them.
Matt rolled his eyes. "Whatever mate."
Emily glanced over the top of her seat to Abby and grinned. "We're going to have so much fun!" Emily smirked when she noticed Jess laughing at something Becker had done. "Looks like their happy..."
"Emily, you have to sit down and buckle up if you want to make it there in one piece..." Connor laughed.
She glared at him for a moment. "I'll sit down when I want to sit down."
Her eyes widened suddenly as the plane begun to hum. She quickly sat back down and tightened her seatbelt, grabbing Matt's hand.
"It's just the engine Emily." Abby laughed.
"It's okay..." Matt whispered. "I'm going to be here the whole entire time. There's nothing you need to worry about." Emily leaned her head back against the seat as Matt left a small kiss on her cheek. "It's just a small plane ride."
"There's only a small chance that the plane will crash in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and we'll all either drown or freeze to our deaths..." Connor said casually.
"Connor!" Abby growled.
He sighed. "I said that there's only a small chance!"
Matt and Emily laughed as sounds of protest came from behind them. They weren't a hundred percent sure if they wanted to know what was going on between those two as the plane got ready for lift off.
