A/N: I'm going to be honest, not every week is going to be perfect for my update schedule, but I am trying my absolute best.

Raindrops slide down my window, condensation fogging up the glass as the sky turns a few shades of blue darker.
A once noisy plane is quieted, the airplane's new found ambiance and dim lights make sleep a viable option for our twelve hour flight. Even the baby on our plane is quiet after two hours of crying.
The only sound that is heard is the baby's mother humming a song, some Scottish melody that drifts into the thin air.
Nobody complains as she continues to hum to her baby, the whimpers of the little human fading.
We've been on this flight for seven hours, and it hasn't been too bad so far.
Emma is busy reading Understood Betsy, but she's the only who's reading it, out of us girls at least.
I know for sure that Mrs. Hawthorne has read it already, but the rest of the moms probably haven't.
My excitement is mostly for the fashion show that Wolfgang has organized, courtesy of Flash of course. Becca is really excited to be a model again as well, and I managed to convince Cassidy that wearing heels wouldn't be that terrible.
She still won't wear the pumps that I suggested, but at least she'll be wearing semi-decent shoes for the runway.
I guess it's good that she's even willing to participate. Plus, we did promise to take everyone out for food after the show.
Becca leans over and taps me on the shoulder from her seat next to mine. "Are you excited?" she whispers.
I nod. "Of course! Gigi says that we'll have five days to explore the city before the fashion show, so I'm really pumped for that. Apparently some of the shopping areas are amazing here."
Becca's eyes glow. "I know, remember when Cindy from Bio went to Hong Kong last year? She had the most amazing clothes after!"
Gigi hears our conversation and joins in, smiling. "Girls, I'll have to take you to Central, Causeway Bay, Kowloon, and Mong Kok! Those are the best shopping districts in Hong Kong."
Becca nearly squeals with happiness. "Wow, I can't wait to shop at some place outside of Concord!"
I nod, smiling. "It's going to be amazing!"
An hour later, breakfast is served to us. Airplane food is usually pretty terrible, but we're flying first class, so the food is better than normal.
We finish eating, and suddenly, we hear the pilot's voice.
"We will be going through some minor turbulence, folks. Please stay in your seat for the time being. Thank you."
The plane begins to go through the harsh winds, rain whipping against the wings. The plane lurches a little, and I grab my seat.
Emma and Jess both look sick with fear, and Becca's eyes are closed, her breathing coming out in hitched breaths.
A few minutes later, the turbulence begins to settle, and I sink into my seat with relief.
"One hour to go," Becca tells me. "We're landing really soon!"
The plane shakes as its wheels hit the ground, and the pilot begins to speak again. "Thank you for flying with us today, enjoy your stay in Hong Kong. The current time is 9:22 PM and they are expecting light to moderate rain. Again, thank you for flying with us and we hope to see you on another one of our flights again."
We all get off the plane, and pretty soon we are on a car ride to our hotel.
Hong Kong is going to be amazing.
My beta didn't read this, so I apologize for any mistakes. Thanks for reading! Next chapter up on Monday and Tuesday.
