Everyone parted, leaving Slater and Jessie in their midst free of any obstacles. They all watched in silence as the two stared at each other. Jessie let out a nervous laugh and Slater smiled shyly.
"You look great!" Jessie spoke first. "I really like your hair," she walked toward him and embraced him tightly. At first his hands hung stiffly at his sides unsure of how to react. Then, he awkwardly wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Thanks," he said softly. "You look great too!" He reached out and caught a lock of her hair between his fingers. He gently ran them down a lock of straight, blond hair.
"You look so grown up," he admired.
"I thought it looked a little more sophisticated," she explained blushing slightly.
"Does anyone else feel like they're invisible?" Lisa spoke softly as she leaned over to Kelly. Kelly nodded entranced by Jessie and Slater. Zack, Screech, and Eric nodded as they watched intently.
"Hey, I brought some presents with me," Slater told her as he motioned his head toward his three friends. His hands were still around Jessie's waist and her hands rested on his arms.
"Presents?" Jessie asked him confused.
He motioned to his right again with his head. Jessie reluctantly broke eye contact with Slater and turned to see a smiling Zack, Screech, and Kelly. Her jaw dropped.
"What?!" she squealed. She ran over and embraced Screech, then, Kelly. "I never dreamed you guys would be able to come too!" she exclaimed as Zack lifted her off the ground.
"Well, you know us, always looking for an adventure!" Zack reminded her.
"There he is!" an old lady pointed at Screech with her cane. "That's the boy who stole my luggage!" she shouted to an airport security officer.
"I spoke too soon," Zack mumbled as the rest of the gang froze like deer in the headlights.
The officer tried to calm the old woman down as she shook her cane in the air.
"Screech, is that old lady talking about you?" Lisa asked.
"She thinks I stole her luggage, but it's mine—mine I say!" he told her bear hugging his luggage.
"I can't believe we fly across the country and you still manage to cause some goofy scene!" Slater shook his head in disbelief.
"Uh, guys, we'd better get out of here," Screech panicked as he saw the security officer scan the area. He grabbed his bag and took off toward the exit.
"You have got to be kidding me" Lisa shook her head in disbelief.
The security officer began to patrol the area.
"Do you think we'd look suspicious if we ran too?" Jessie asked with a nervous laugh as she grabbed Slater's hand.
"Probably," Slater replied frozen as the security officer came even closer to the group squeezing her hand.
"Why do I feel so guilty?" Kelly wondered in a whisper.
"Because we're the ones who brought the village idiot with us," Zack replied through his clenched teeth as he forced smile.
"He's getting closer," Slater sang through a phony smile.
"I say we follow the dweebs footsteps," Eric told them.
The gang all glanced at each other, then Zack led the charge grabbing Kelly's hand and taking off to the exit. Eric, Lisa, Slater, and Jessie fell in behind as they bolted out of the airport.
