Hayloft Kids
3: Number Uno
The first kiss of the day came when we were in Johnny's jet.
Remember I told you it'd crashed? Well, turns out Captain Strong had an extra blueprint – and it was easy to assemble, so he got an exact replica of is old one, except this one had a better paint job. It was exactly like his old one, even the smell. When I stuck my head in for an inspection, I caught a whiff of Bubbly Soda, Johnny's one sponsor.
Since my jet was harder to remake, it was still gonna take five weeks eight days after out leave was off. Black Cloud had tried to study the tech of my plane, but a fuse I'd set there blew when they entered a wrong security password. Close call.
So we were sharing a jet again.
We were just leaving, and then Trey and Zak zoomed ahead. Johnny tailed behind because we were talking nineteen to the dozen.
"So, where exactly are we going?" I asked.
"I decide to let Zak and Trey come with us to the farm. To learn being 'farm boy' isn't so unimportant after all," he said, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"Wipe that grin off, Ace," I said.
"Would you do the Honors?" Johnny asked.
"Certainly," I said, leaning over and planting one. And I didn't just give him a peck, either. I stayed for about five minutes.
"We're gonna crash again," Johnny said, sideways out of his mouth because I was still on him.
"Okay," I said, and settled in my seat. That was kiss number one.
