The Time is Right!

Seth

Seth shouldered his pack again and headed out along the walkway. this long tube would carry them to a different place. comming to the end, he took the short step onto the plane and smiled at the "air hostess." bumping past other peoples knees he crawled to the back and found his seat.

Sighing and sat back and thought about what would happen over the next few weeks. it certainly would be a long flight. that he knew. and the hour wasn't a great one, he'd probably fall asleep when they took off, but for now, he had to play the waiting game.

when everyone was on and seated, the buckle light came on and he did so, then the roar of the engines took then to the sky, and the plane streaked to it's next stop point....

Catrina "Cat" Ashwald

Cat stood looking as the big bird slid into the runway. In a few moments she would be in the air and flying toward a place where she couldn't make life miserable for her wicked step mother.

She snorted at the title. The woman was only a couple years older than she was. What the hell was her father thinking? Ever since her mother died he had been marrying younger and younger. She would have to baby sit the next one if he kept this pattern up.

Pushing her father and his child bride out of his mind she leaned against the window not even seeing the plane. In her mind's eye she was visualizing the man in the black suit and sunglasses that was watching her from several seats away. Did he think she didn't know he was there? Inconspicuious...Hah! They really had to get another uniform for government body guards. She would have recognized him no matter what he wore of course, their mannerisms gave them away and she had practically grown up around body guards what with being a senetor's daughter.

She looked up as the call for boarding came over the loud speaker and she carefully timed it so that almost all of the passengers had entered before she acted. Moving not to the line into the plane but to the phones, she made a quick call.

"Yeah?" the voice of one of her few friends came on line. Alexander Freeport was his real name but all his friends called him Maverik. He was a certified genius and, what made it fun was he could and often did use that genius to torment and confuse the stuff shirts that traveled in both of their family's circles.

"Okay, Maverik," She said in a low voice,"It's time."

"You know we are both going to catch hell for this, Cat, don't you," He said but she could already hear him dialing his extension.

"Yeah," She replied,"Don't you love it?"

Moments later there was a call over the intercom for Jacob Harlan, the black suit who had been sent to "protect" her. The man looked at the diminishing line of people entering the plane and she could almost see him calculating how much time he would have to answer the phone and still get on the plane.

A second call went over the intercom and this time it was announced that her father (minus the title of senetor of course. Father would never try to call attention to someone who was trying to go incognito) was trying to reach him. That decided it and the man rose to take the phone.

Only her father wasn't on the extension. It was Maverik with a voice synthesizer that he had invented himself. He would sound enough like her father to keep the man at the phone while she...well she would board just in time to make the plane before it left while Mr Black Suit would be left holding the bag.

Slipping away from the phones she hurried to the entrance where the ticket agents were taking the last few straglers. "You just made it," The agent said as she gave her a smile,"We are just about to leave."

"Yeah," Cat said,"I know." And she was down the ramp and into the plane. It was going to be a hot time when Mr Freeport tried to explain he missed the plane because he was talking to his boss. She almost felt sorry for him.

"Shit!"

Skate bolted along the path quickly, doging any person in his way, "Excuse me! sorry! Pardon!" Skate dashed like mad, and came to a slidibng halt at the reception desk. "Whens... the... next flight to France?"

"The next flight was suppose to be in five minutes, but it seems there will be an half hour delay!!"

"Half hour? Geez... what station is it at?"

"# 113"

"Thanks." Skate got up and walked to 113.

IC: "Okay I beleave you!" The person infront of me in Line had been telling me about how he saw elvis in a gass station yesterday. This guy defently dosen't belong on a plane. Or maybe he saw an Elvis impersonator. Ofcoarse I've been liveing here for 6 years and seen exactly one.

...On the plane...

I took my seat next to a blond haired man. 'So are you a meber?' "Of What?" 'The Mile High club.' "Mile High club?" 'Tell you what I'll get you in before we reach alaska.' A person siting infront of use turned around and said 'This plane dosen't go to Alaska.' 'What I'm on the wrong flight.' The blond raced out of here. "Whats the Mile high club?" 'Ask a stuwartist.' "Okay."

A few minutes latter a stwartist stopes by. "Mame whats the Mile High Club?" She slaps me and stroms off in the other direction. "What the hell?"

 

[hybirdx]

Skates Pov:

I entered the plane looking for his seat, I slowly walked torwards a guy who asked 'Mam, whats the Mile High Club?' seeing that he was slapped the taste out of his mouth, the stewardes must have goten the wrong idea. I couldn't help but chuckle. I looked at my ticket, window seat, and it was right by this guy. walked right by him and said "You know... That question plages my mind every time I get on a plane."

 

[cats]

Nicholas

IC: 'You know that question plagues my mind every time I get on an airplane.' I rub my cheek "So you don't know? If you've known of it you would figure some one would tell you."

 

[SecretDesires]

Cat was sitting back in her seat and listening to the radio. She was silently mouthing the words to the song when a commotion with a stewardess caught her attention.

With a raise of her eyebrow she looked over at the man who was rubbing his cheek and wondered exactly what he had said to make the woman angry. It wasn't a good idea to tick off the person who you had to depend on if the plane went down.

Reaching into her jacket pocket she pulled out a piece of gum and popped it into her mouth. It was a habit she couldn't break. When she was a kid she had a bad habit of biting her fingernails and one of her governess' had gotten the bright idea of handing her a stick of gum whenever she saw her falling into that habit. A new habit had formed. Slowly chewing on the gum she found she was a bit bored. She hoped France was alot more exciting than this. She was was looking forward to being on her own for once in her life and not constantly shadowed. Her father would have someone meet her of course but in the crowd she was sure she could dodge the person holding up the sign "Catrina Ashwald". That strategy of picking up a person only worked if the person wanted to be picked up. And Cat had no intention of following any ones plans but her own.

 

[hybirdx]

I laghed hard, "Just be lucky!" I said as I sat down, "I had an stewardes spil coffe in my pants when I asked, I guess they are so stressed out due to the little brats on their last flight, questions like that just pushes them over the limit. I still don't know what it means, I'm afraid to ask!"

 

[cats]

Nicholas

IC: "Some one here is bound to know." A smile comes across my face. "You know you could probably sew then for a quarter Million dollars. Personally I don't beleave in that." I stood up. 'Where are you going?' "To ask another person."

I walked up to the girl siting across the isle and up one row. She had been looking at me right about when the girl slaped me. I taped her shoulder and she took off the headphones. "Miss... Do you know what the Mile high club is?"

 

[hybirdx]

"Good luck me freind" I muttered as I pulled out some game files, and an box of carmel pop corn, no not cracker jacks! these are home made, and taste much better!

 

[SecretDesires]

Looking up and taking of the headphones Cat didn't know if she should be insulted or amused. Then she remembered the scene with the stewardess and it all fell into place.

Laughing she said,"Is that what you asked the stewardess? You better be sure you are buckled up tight when we take off. You will be lucky if she doesn't open the hatch and toss you out when we are a mile off the ground."

See that the man was totally confused, Cat stifled her laughter and explained. "The Mile High Club is a place for people to share their stories of intimacy on a plane when it is at least a mile above the ground. You just invited that stewardess to have sex with you in the lavetory. Some think it's only flight crew that are in the club but it has spread to include passengers as well. I wouldn't go mentioning it to anyone who doesn't look adventurous enough to want to try it."

She shook her head in disbelief and gave another chuckle. She had heard about the club when she listened in on one of her father's conversations. Evidently he and a couple of friends had become part of the club and were talking about their adventures one night after they thought she was asleep or out of the house. She had had to look the site up on the web before she knew exactly what they were talking about but education was education she guessed.

IC: 'Is that what you asked the stewardess? You better be sure you are buckled up tight when we take off. You will be lucky if she doesn't open the hatch and toss you out when we are a mile off the ground.'

So it's some sort of ski diveing thing? It can't be safe when your only a mile up. But then why the hell did she slap me?

'The Mile High Club is a place for people to share their stories of intimacy on a plane when it is at least a mile above the ground. You just invited that stewardess to have sex with you in the lavetory. Some think it's only flight crew that are in the club but it has spread to include passengers as well. I wouldn't go mentioning it to anyone who doesn't look adventurous enough to want to try it.'

Adventurous huh. Well I know I'm pushing my luck. "Would you like to join with me." I quickly thought about it. "You look adventrous and all." What the hell type of come back was that okay cover it up! "Let me start over. Just because you look adventurous dosen't mean you'd join with me." Oh for heavens sake you relise you screwed over now right?

 

[hybirdx]

I over heard the pick up lines this guy just pulled out "Oh brother..."

[SecretDesires]

Cat broke into laughter again as the man stumbled over his own words. He must be something in a single's bar. Oh well, what the hell. What was a trip to Paris without some adventure.

"Look, I don't think I am looking to get into the club but my traveling companion kind of missed the plane. If you are up to some conversation and, if you don't get thrown off the plane, up to some sight seeing when we get where we are going-assuming you are taking the plane all the way to France-than I am game."

 

[hybirdx]

I don't belive this! the lucky stiff got an girl who was nice to fools! Heh, on in an millon man, Luck... thats all I can say, luck. I smiled to myself, getting to know these people might be fun... I never really had freinds, people feared me. The nightmare geek! But thats past me now...

 

[SpectralDragoon]

Hayes was laughing his ass off as his sister in law drove him to the airport. They always had the best time together, cruising around and just bullshitting. Mary was awesome, so was her sporty new '03 Neon, rear spoiler and all.

She pulled up to the curb at La Guardia International and Hayes got out and opened the rear passenger door to get his luggage. Once in hand he closed the door and leaned back into the passenger side.


"Hey, thanks for the ride Mare"

"Yeah loser, get some pictures eh? And wrap that thing before you stick it to any foreign girls, got it?"

Hayes laughed and turned a bit red at that, "Mary, lay off the crack. I'm the innocent one, remember? Cya ina couple weeks."

"Innocent, yeah, good one! Have fun!"

Hayes closed the door and she roared off, as she usually does. He watched as she turned and sped down a row of cars, out of sight. Turning then, he headed inside to find his gate, and to wait. He had a habit of being early, and Mary was always late, but they had made good time.

Seth

Seth smirked, there seemed to be some kind of commotion going on between the air steuardess and the passengers. ahh well. Seth leaned back and tried to sleep.

 

[hybirdx]

I leaned back, and pulled out an scetch book, I was happy to get a new freind, but I knew that the buisness meeting I have to go in a few days was going to be hell, Sega executives in france were almost as bad as Sega executives in Japan! Oh well... I began to draw, I'm kinda hoping they will take a look at charas I created. I'm good at it, and hopefuly I'll get a deal.

 

[cats]

Nicholas

IC: Okay it's time for a full scale retreat. "See being adventurous has nothing to do with joining." Damn it your supose to be retreating not talking still. "I'll see you around." No you won't well not if she has any kind of luck any how.

I sit back in my seat. Maybe I should of brought my Game Boy. Oh well I'll do fine just stay here and keep your mouth shut.

 

[hybirdx]

I had no choice but to snicker at this guy, his attitude torwards that girl was commicle! But hey, guys are shy to lovely women, I myself am. So I shut my self up, because I didn't want to be rude, but I was still laughing inside my mind.

 

[SecretDesires]

Cat flashed a big smile as the man moved away. Placing her headphones back on, she went back to silently mouthing the words to her music.

It was turning out to be a very interesting trip so far. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea of her Father's at all. Better than his idea of marrying a woman old enough to be her sister.
