Right as the plane took off, Ariadne opened her computer and went to Netflix. She didn't care about the rules. If she wanted to finish the second season of Teen Titans by the time they landed, she would have to start watching it immediately. Ariadne tried to not focus on if Arthur would put his arm around her or not.
As she was about to watch the series, she clicked on Jaynes name to see if she missed anything to stream. She watched the film about the mentally challenged stalker
Quest for Camelot

Kaylee, the young adventurous daughter of the deceased Sir Lionel (Jayne Alvers), has ambitions to become a knight in Camelot. When power-hungry Ruber (Tom Hiddelson) takes her mother hostage with plans to invade the kingdom, the escaped teen must get to Camelot before he does to warn King Arthur (Henry Cavill).

They made a real life version of the animated movie? Ariadne didn't think many people knew about the 1998 animation movie from Warner Brothers. She was so out of touch with Hollywood that she had no idea what they were up to. Chances are, this movie raped the original. But what else did she have to do on a long flight?
She plugged in her earphones and started the movie. It began with the knights at the round table having a meeting when a fight broke out. Sir Lionel sacrificed his life to defend the king from Ruber. There followed a snowy funeral, along with a sequence of Kaylee becoming ten years older in a few seconds. Kaylee sang a song about how she didn't belong on the farm and her desires to be like her father. The action started after when Ruber broke into her house.
When Kaylee met Garret, Ariadne's first reaction was, 'For a blind guy, he's hot! And he can sing! Oh my God, I could just melt right now!'
She looked over to see what Arthur was doing. For a newly married couple, they seemed to be ignoring each other. She was watching Netflix with ear buds while he listened to golf wearing his big head phones.
Going back to the movie, she got to the part where Kaylee and Garret met Devin and Cornwall hiding in a dragon head. They bickered continuously, even as they were being chased by Ruber and firebreathers. Later, they broke into song, complaining about how they were better off separate. Ariadne saw Devin and Cornwall as a Siamese Arthur and Eames. Oh God, they would really be at each other's necks then.
"I'm so tired of your nagging!" Cornwall spat.
"And I'm so tired of your bragging!" Devin snapped.
Yep, they were Arthur and Eames in obese conjoined dragon form.
"Meow."
Ariadne looked over to see Bast standing in the aisle and taking a seat by her feet.
"No. Bad kitty." She said. "Go to your daddy." Bast ignored her and curled her tail around herself. "Uh... Rodger?" She touched his shoulder to get Arthurs attention.
"What?" He looked down and saw Bast. She was like an uncontrollable rabid fan girl in cat form.
"Your biggest fan is here."
"Just wait. We don't know whose cat it is." He remained in character as if he was in an acting competition.
Ariadne was urged to pick her up and go into third class to find Yusuf. Maybe he had to go (again) and the cat got lonely. She rubbed her emerging mane onto Arthurs shoe, with no intention of shining it a bit. Ariadne picked Bast up and put her on her lap.
"Are you bored?" she asked in a sweeter voice. For a second, she felt like a cat lady. Good thing for her though that Bast wasn't her cat and she was 'married' to a handsome but stern gentleman.
If he was like any man in literature or on TV, Ariadne couldn't match him. He was mysterious like Bill Compton and had the same balls as Fox Mulder. For the strangest reason, he reminded her of the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun. One thing she was completely sure of though; he was the most mesmerizing of all men.
She used to tell herself that she would never hang with a guy with slicked down hair and lots of money. She would meet a guy who had a normal job, wore casual clothes and was outgoing and funny. And his name wouldn't be epic either.
'Stop thinking about him!' Ariadne snapped at herself. 'He knows nothing now, so keep it that way! You are not a Bella Swan! You are not a Bella Swan!'
"Excuse me, I'm so sorry." Yusuf came over almost panicked. Ariadne could see him sweating a little.
"I take it this is yours?" Arthur asked as if interviewing someone for a big job. Ariadne handed him Bast. Yusuf walked away, his lecture to her fading as he returned to his seat before the flight attendant could yell at him.
For the rest of the flight, Ariadne ended up watching the second season of Teen Titans. Every then and now, Arthur would peer over to see if what she was doing was appropriate. She couldn't be talking to any friends in any way during the mission.
When the sun went down, a plate of chicken was served for dinner. After eating the average tasting air service meal, Ariadne put all her things away and pulled her seat back. Much sleep was needed and she wouldn't get any if she was in the back. Ariadne put her face against a small lumpy pillow provided by the airline and closed her eyes.
A couple minutes later, momentum took her as if she was a baby in a rocking crib. Outside her closed vision, Arthur was pulling a blanket over her. As warmth attacked her body, he brought her close to him.
The kiss on her cheek made the whole identity idea far more confusing.
