Abby was driving all the teens whilst Hoagie agreed to drive all the luggage, so naturally it was a free for all with who was trying to grab which seat between the six remaining teens. Fanny immediately, much to Abby's dismay, jumped into shotgun. Wally and Kuki took up two of the three back seats, much to the dismay of Nigel, Rachel and Patton, who all stood outside, looking at the three remaining seats, two in the middle row and one with the dreaded couple in the back...
"Well I don't wanna sit with them..." Patton grunted, never seeing the australian and asian in action, but he certainly heard stories and was not keen on the idea of sitting next to them for an hour.
Rachel added, "Yeah... No offense, I know they're our friends, and I could tolerate it anywhere else... But I'm not sitting near them for the whole car ride..."
Nigel stood upright, very professionally, and said, "I find it most fair if we-" But he was swiftly cut off.
"Every man, and girl, for themselves!" Patton shouted, jumping into the van and taking the seat behind Abby. Throwing rules to the wind, Rachel followed suit and took the seat behind Fanny, leaving Nigel as the only option to sit in the back... He gave Patton and Rachel a look of betrayal as he grudgingly crawled next to Wally and Kuki, who were already diving into their annoying 'couple' crap, with Wally tickling Kuki to give him back his phone.
And with that, the car was started and the seven of them followed Hoagie and their luggage onto the highway. After a moment or two of awkward silence, Abby, the motherly figure of the car, suggested, "Hey... Uh, why don't we put some music on?"
Fanny immediately pressed the power button and hissed, "On it!" as she turned the dial and loud Irish folk music started blaring.
"I'm not listening to this bullshit!" Patton whined, covering his ears in frustration.
But the irish girl turned around and shrieked, "DEAL WITH IT!"
And with that, the car went silent once again, sans the obnoxious music, of course. This would have been okay, except for the fact that Wally and Kuki started yet another tickle fight with one another, and Nigel sat miserably helpless at the side. He felt himself die a little on the inside each time Kuki jabbed her elbow into him as a reaction to Wally burying his fingers into her armpits, her most ticklish spot.
After a solid five minutes of this, combined with Fanny's crappy music selection, Nigel cried, "Would you two CUT IT OUT?" This caused the whole car to look at him as he folded his arms and huffed.
Of course, this didn't go without response from everyone else... First Kuki responded, "Well someone has a crab in his boxers..."
Shouting over her own music selection, Fanny shrieked, "Well I can't say I blame him... You two are probably more disgustin' than last weeks dinner left out to rot!"
"Oh yeah? Well your music sucks!" Wally defended his girlfriend, "At least listen to something that doesn't sound like a dying cow!"
Nigel randomly interrupted, "Oh please! Like 24/7 Beatles is really that much better?"
"Hey! They're legends and you know it!" The blond retorted.
"Yeah..." Patton suddenly joined in, "Legends to old people like my grandma..."
Rachel had her own two cents to throw in as well, "Guys, calm down, I'm sure we can just settle this if we talk like civilized young adults... We're-"
"Aye, none of this 'we're more mature than that' bullshit..." Wally whined, crossing his arms in frustration.
Not one to back out of an argument, Fanny immediately joined in again, "As if, Rachel! You make it seem like BOYS are capable of using their so-called brains! Well I know better than to buy into that garbage!"
"Oh will you just SHUT UP?" Patton demanded, frustrated at the girl for being her usual sexist self. "You have to stop being such a feminist cu-WAH!"
The arguments ended as Abby pulled the car off the highway and came to a screeching halt, she shut off the radio, "ALRIGHT! That's it!" She turned around angrily and shouted, "No one gets to do anything until we get there! Fanny, cut the crap and stop picking fights with everyone! Patton, no being a dick! Wally, stop being a brat! Nigel, don't be such a drama queen! Now... If you four have anything left to say, I suggest you wait until we get closer, because the next one who so much as BREATHS too loudly is walking the rest of the way!" Suddenly she seemed to calm down and continued, "... Now... Who wants to play the quiet game?"
Patton, Wally, Fanny, and Nigel all immediately shut their lips and sat still. Not much was really said for the rest of the car ride...
All the while, Hoagie was happily driving in his car, proud of his decision to take the baggage, and not the teens.
After the awkwardly silent car ride came to a close, the friends burst out of the car at the airport. Abby and Hoagie handed their keys over to the parking services, and the teens were off to their plane. After taking a pit stop, they prepared to pass through the gates.
"Whadda ya mean I still have metal on me?" Wally demanded, as the security guard asked him to double check himself... for the fifth time.
"Kid, just go through your pockets and make sure you got everything..."
The australian sighed, "Whatever. Hang on..."
Waiting for the line to move, Patton growled, "Beatles, can you please be a little less useless for once in your life?" He tapped his foot impatiently.
"Yeah!" Hoagie added, "We don't have all day! In fact, we only have like an hour left and at this rate we're not gonna make it!"
Ignoring his friend's unnecessary remarks, the blond teen shuffled through his pockets yet again and this time pulled out an iPod. "Alright! That should be it!" But as he passed through the sensor, it began to beep again. Furious, Wally shouted, "That is IT! I didn't want it to come to this, but..." He yanked his jeans off, revealing palm tree covered boxers, and threw the pants in a basket and sent it through the conveyer belt.
"WALLY!" Kuki shrieked on the other side of the sensor, blushing and looking the other way as he finally crossed through.
He didn't see the problem with his actions, despite the look the airport security gave him... He pulled his jeans back out the other side and put them back on. "... What?... What'd I do?"
The girls watched him proudly dress himself back up, all of them embarrassed to be associated with the boy. Hoagie and Nigel were laughing hysterically, even Patton couldn't help but chuckle at the awkwardness.
As the eight of them walked down to find their gate, they passed by the moving belt placed for the convenience of people with heavy bags, needless to say, Kuki was all for childishly running onto it. As everyone else angrily walked along side her, she merely stood still and let the belt move her at the same pace.
"Hey guys! Look at me! I'm going to the same place as you, but I'm not moving!" She laughed in her usual bubbly way.
Abby shook her head and turned to Wally, "You know you're a pedophile for dating her, right? There's no way in hell she's our age..."
As the teenagers sat around their gate, Abby read her favorite book as she listened for news of the plane's status and location.
Hoagie came back from a sandwich run at the airport 'Subway' and started munching furiously on his lunch. Fanny shook her head as she looked at the brown haired boy. "Aye! How in the hell do yeh eat that much and not go back teh being chubby?" She demanded, dumbfounded by why Hoagie had managed to stay skinny despite making no diet changes since he was a kid.
The airloving teen shrugged, mouth full of food he responded, "Ayf dunno, ith a gifth i thuppose."
Patton shook his head in jealousy, "Man, if you take my work out routine and your metabolism you can make one jacked mother fucker..." He secretly wanted to be able to eat as well, but he wasn't going to get to run for another day, so he had to eat sparingly. "You could be ripped if you just put the effort in, Gilligan."
But Hoagie laughed, finishing his food before speaking this time, "Ha! That's a good one! Hoagie P. Gilligan doesn't do the whole exercise thing, that's for people who have low self esteem issues."
The black haired teen growled and retorted, "Or maybe for people who want to be stronger so they can kick the asses of losers like yourself!"
Backing off nervously, the goggle wearing boy whimpered, "Woah now, let's not jump to conclusions here!"
Ignoring the two boys and their argument, Rachel turned to Kuki and gave her a look of desperation, "Why are guys so immature? Honestly the fact you hooked yourself one that was willing to be in a relationship is beyond me!"
Kuki smiled as her boyfriend was singing along to his iPod, oblivious of the conversation going on right next to him. "Well, he's not an ideal boyfriend, but he gets the job done." She replied jokingly, giving the blond a kiss on the cheek. He merely stopped pretending to play airdrums for a moment and gave her a confused look, but then immediately went back to his big 'solo'.
Rachel blushed with jealousy, "Seriously though, Kuki... It must be so nice having someone you can depend on like that..."
"Yeah, it's a good feeling." The asian girl smiled and then continued, "... But don't worry, Rachel, you're sooooo pretty! What kind of guy wouldn't want to date you? You're nice, you're smart you're pretty, I'm sure plenty of guys would be willing to snag you at the first chance!"
To this, the blond girl gave a disappointed look downward, "Yeah, yeah... I don't care though!" She tried her best to be more confident, "I mean, college is one of the most enjoyable times of a person's life, and I'm gonna make the most of it, boyfriend or not!"
Kuki shook her head slightly, "I know that, but it never hurts to share that time with someone." She smiled her usual infectious smile and finished, "... But it's your call, obviously."
Rachel simply looked the other way and sighed, "Yeah, I suppose so..."
Still trapped in the world of his iPod, Wally started singing in a grungy tone, "Duh nuh nuh NUH! Gonna fly a plane! Bun nun nuh NUH! Hope we don't all die!"
The blond girl looked at him, and then at Kuki again, "On second thought, maybe I can wait to find the right guy... No offense..." She laughed at the aussie's childishness. The asian girl simply laughed along with her as Wally continued to create lyrics to an imaginary song.
Nigel took out his ringing phone and answered it, "Hello. Nigel Uno speaking, what can I do for you?... Oh... Hi mom... No I didn't forget anything at home... Yes I brought extra underwear... I'll miss you too mom... Can I-... Just for?... I know we won't be able to talk until I get-... Love you too mom... Bye."
He angrily shut his phone after the conversation had ended and Abby smirked as he shoved the phone back in his pocket. "Oh Nigey, you're such a momma's boy!" Abby mocked, making a kissy face at the brit.
"Shut up!" Nigel demanded, blushing a little bit, "I can't help it if my mom is overprotective!"
Abby shook her head, "That's not what's funny, it's that Abby knows you're gonna miss your mom more than she's gonna miss you."
The bald teen didn't like the sass, "Hey! That's completely untrue! I'm an independent young man and I don't need my mother around me twenty-four seven!"
But the dark skinned girl gave him a jokingly doubtful look, "Yeah? Is that so? Well Abby guesses we'll see how you're doing without any communication with her for two weeks!"
"Fine!" He shouted back, blushing.
But Abby didn't hear him as she was too busy noticing the announcements going on...
The plane scheduled to fly to Aruba has not been able to depart due to weather conditions in it's current location. We apologize for the inconvenience. (A/N Sorry that's so informal, I honestly couldn't think of something better to say...)
All eight of the teens froze in place as the announcement was made...
"What the fuck?" Wally shouted, grabbing his head in shock.
Abby continued, "What the hell are we supposed to do NOW?"
"Well I can't help but feel this is one of you boys' faults!" Fanny shouted over everyone else, "Good job being grounded until today, Uno!"
The brit tried to defend himself, "It's not my fault! How about we stop playing the blame game and try to figure out what we're going to do?"
Kuki frowned in disappointment, "But I wanna go to the beach nowwwwwwww!"
Patton scowled as well, "Yeah! I'm not waiting any longer to do this! It was inconvenient enough to plan as it is!"
Rachel finished, " Yeah... This isn't exactly easy to work a schedule around... We need to either think of something or just give up..."
And then, a hero emerged from the group... "Don't fear, my good people!" Hoagie laughed a manly laugh, hands on hips.
"Don't fear?" Fanny shrieked, "How do you expect us to do that? This is terrible!"
But the brown haired teen continued to laugh, "It takes a real man to solve a dilemma such as this one... And I happen to know just what to do!"
Abby gave her friend a look of confusion, "Oh yeah? And just what exactly do you know how to do?"
But her question went unanswered as Hoagie pulled his phone out of his pocket and walked off to a more quiet location. The seven remaining teens simply looked at one another.
"Whadda think he's doing?" Kuki asked innocently.
"Probably finding a dick to suck to get us on a plane." Patton laughed, watching Hoagie walk further and further away from the group.
Rachel shook her head, "I dunno what he's planning, but I only pray that it's something good... There's no way we can get a plane for one of the next few days..."
Abby put her hand on the blond girl's shoulder, "Don't you worry, Abby has faith in Hoagie, he's not the type to let his friends down... Now let's just wait for him to come back."
45 minutes later...
Hoagie returned back to the gate and had a huge smirk on his face, and he was immediately attacked by all of his friends, badgering him down with questions about where he went and what he did.
"Where WERE you, fool?" Abby demanded.
"Yeah did you suck someone's dick?" Patton questioned.
"Tell ussssssss!" Kuki sang.
"What could you possibly have been doing, you moron?" Wally growled.
"Yeah, stupid boy!" Fanny added.
"Well? Out with it!" Nigel finished.
Hoagie simply stood with a smile on his face, "You guys are gonna be happy to hear that I, Hoagie P. Gilligan, the most awesomely super cool hottie you all know and love," The goggle wearing teen was too proud to notice literally every one of his friends was rolling their eyes, "has come up with a solution!"
"Oh yeah?" Rachel asked, "Just what did you possibly do?"
"Oh nothing..." The brown haired boy smirked nonchalantly, "Just getting us a ride with a private pilot here!"
"What?" Abby gasped with delight, "How in the hell did you manage that one?"
Patton continued with his inside joke, "I told you, he had to have sucked someone's dick!"
Hoagie cringed, "Please, I have standards... I would only do that for Wally..." He winked at his blond friend and nudged him. Ever since the whole 'gay' fiasco at Nigel's house party, Wally has been extra vulnerable to Hoagie's gay pranks.
As such, Wally shuddered and hissed back, "W-whatever! Just tell us what's the deal!"
His best friend simply laughed, "C'mon! I'll explain as we walk!" And with that he led the teens down the halls of the airport. They passed by all the other gates and made it to an empty one, where Hoagie simply walked through to the assistant that was sitting at the desk outside the entrance.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" The woman asked, as Hoagie attempted to pass by.
He winked at the woman and grinned, "Why, it's me, remember? Hoagie Gilligan?"
The attendant's eyes widened at the sound of the name, "Oh my! My apologies! Right this way Mr. Gilligan, take your friends with you, of course! The captain is waiting for you!"
Hoagie smirked proudly as the woman gave him access to the gate leading to the private plane. Everyone quickly followed them, as if they weren't allowed to be there and they walked into the small plane, with just enough room for the small group of teens... "So..." Abby questioned as she took a comfortable seat on the fancy chairs. "What exactly did you do?"
"Oh you know..." The boy replied, grinning "Just your typical connections to get us a private jet... Nothing out of the ordinary."
Abby shook her head, "Abby thinks something is outta place here, but whatever, if this is legit, she could kiss ya right now."
The brown haired teen blushed and said, "Well, I can guarantee that this is no joke, I can introduce you to the captain himself if you like! C'mon!" And with that everyone got off their seats and and walked toward the head of the plane, but Hoagie stayed behind everyone else and said to Abby, "So... You could kiss me eh?" He gave a seductive eyebrow wave.
But the dark skinned girl laughed at him, "Oh please, Hoagie, it's just a figure of speech."
"Oh come on!" He whined as she followed the six others to the pilot's quarters. He somehow made his way in front of everyone right at the door and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, your captain is just beyond this door!" He knocked gently and waited.
Then the door slowly opened...
"Let's skip the introductions shall we?" A young man said, smirking as he walked out grinning. He had brownish hair and some streaks of blond at the front, "I believe we've met for the most part. Welcome to my private jet, I will be your captain today, but please... Call me Ace."
A/N oMg AcE iS iN tHe StOrY tOo? Uh... Anyway... Just another filler chapter, but don't worry, the real vacation is starting soon ;) Once they have more to do, the story will pick up. Hopefully this chapter does a good enough job of keeping people's attention, I tried to make it interesting, but honestly, how interesting can you make an airport scene? Anyway, just leave a review if you like it, or you can yell at me telling me to get to the good stuff, both of which will make me happy. Again, I hope you all enjoyed, and will continue to read as the chapters keep on coming!
