Piers: So... when do I get to be in the story?

Charity: You'll see.

Piers: Come on... I want to know...

Charity: You'll know when I write your character in.

Piers: But I can't wait!

Charity: Too bad.

Piers: Mleh...

"Bye, baby girl. Don't forget to call when you get there, alright? We'll miss you like crazy." My dad hugged me, tears streaming down his face. He never cried...

"I won't forget. I love you, daddy. I'll miss you too." I sobbed, hugging him tight.

"Flight 625 to Japan is now boarding. Flight 625 to Japan is now boarding." I heard the speaker call. I hugged my mother and brother one last time, wiping the tears from my eyes. I slowly made my way to the line to get on the plane.

"Bye, Mama! Bye, Dad! See ya, lil sibs!" I heard a familiar voice call, just before he bumped into me. "Oh! Sorry. Didn't see ya there." He said with a smile as he turned around to face me.

"Woah..." I said in awe as I realized it was the boy who gave me the necklace back in New York. "Small world, huh?" I laughed, not knowing what to say.

"You're as ravishing as ever... and still wearing the necklace, I see." He said as he held the small pendant in his hand.

"Yeah... Call me insane, but I don't take it off." I smiled, bashfully.

"That's cute. Not insane." he smiled. "What seat are you assigned to?" he asked, looking at my ticket.

"Uh... 24a I think..."

"No way! I'm right next to you! haha. We should catch up on the ride."

"Definitely!" I smiled.

"Here, let me help you." He said, taking my carry on.

"Oh, you don't have t-"

"I want to." He smiled again. "Come on, otherwise the plane will leave without us." He flung his bag over his shoulder, picking up my suitcase with his left hand. He took my hand with his right, and we walked to the boarding deck.

LATER ON THE PLANE...

I began to wake up from my small nap. I was exhausted. I looked up to see the boy smiling down at me.

"Good morning, sun shine." He said, pushing my hair out of my face.

"Mmm... Good morning..." I said, still a bit tired from my cat nap.

"Sleep well?"

"Mhm.." I shifted a bit, but kept my head resting on his lap. I realized how awkwardly positioned I was. I had my feet swung onto the empty seat to my right, my butt on my seat, and my head on his lap. I noticed it was quite comfortable, as I had pushed the arm rests to the up position so it would be like a couch. "So how long was I out?" I laughed. "I'm sorry... is my head uncomfortable?"

"Nah. You're fine. I like it... and you were out 3 or 4 hours. My name's Piers, by the way."

"Huh?"

"I never told you my name at the faire. It's Piers. I know You're Charity." He smiled. I looked at him like he was stalking me. "It was on your bag tag." I nodded, embarassed.

"So why are you going to Japan? Ren faire or something?"

"Nah. I was accepted into Ouran. You probably don't know what that is." I laughed.

"That's where I'm going, too! I was accepted on a performing arts scholarship!"

"haha! That's awesome! Me too!" I jumped up off his lap and sat, the right way, in my own seat, and hugged him. I pulled back a little, looking into his eyes. He smiled... We began to lean forward...

"Would you like a beverage or a snack?"

I growled a bit. "No thanks. I'm fine."

"Me too."

"alright. I'll be back in an hour to check again." the waitress walked away.

"Well that was awkward..." I laughed.

"Yeah. Just a bit." He giggled.

"Shall we try again?"

"Nah. It's better in the moment."

"damn..."

"Go back to sleep. We still have a long flight."

"alright." I nodded as I laid back down onto his lap. He smiled down at me. Our eyes met again. His hand moved under my head as he leaned over. I felt him start to lift me gently.

"Is this okay?" He asked sweetly. I nodded gently, pressing my lips to his. Sparks. I swear I saw sparks.

The next thing I knew, I was back on his lap, asleep, waking to the sound of the plane landing.

"We're here, Charity. Wake up, dear." I smiled.

"Tell me that kiss wasn't a dream."

"Maybe this will jog your memory." He kissed me again. I smiled.

Piers: Really? THAT'S how you put me into the story? As your lover?

Charity: Hey. It's my story. You knew I had a crush on you.

Piers: You're such a creep...

Charity: An adorable creep!

Piers: Yeah yeah yeah... haha

Charity: Love you too!
