Shopping with Brooke had been way more fun than she'd expected, and now Akiko had clothes she could safely wear to Disney. She hadn't said anything to anyone, but as much as she wanted to go with them all, she'd been pretty sure the Disney people wouldn't have let her in in her uniform. They'd even found a Sanrio store, and now she had THE Hello Kitty backpack, which was plenty big enough to carry everything she needed for the trip. She might have to spend some of that thousand dollars Mr. Wednesday had offered to buy another bag to carry stuff home in, but she HAD to have the backpack when she saw it. If only I could heal as fast as Wade. Sigh. Now, on the plane, she looked out the window as they took off, and froze. The last time she'd been this high was when Sailor Glory had been fighting a yoma that could fly. The yoma had dropped her from high enough to break most of her ribs, both her legs, and both her arms. She could feel the fear rising, and knew it would end badly if she didn't get help. "Brooke? Grab my hands. If you don't, I'm going to henshin, right here, right NOW." |

Mal ducked into the jet, whistling quietly at its grand furnishings. "Mrs. K. knows what's up!"
She darted for a window seat, making sure Marko got in next to her. "This is gonna be great!" She made sure her seat back and tray table were in the upright position and fastened her seatbelt as the engine noise increased. "Marko, look, we're right over the wing!" This being her first flight without rocket boots, the Piskey was sure to enjoy herself.

Marko looked out of the window and smiled. He looked around the cabin of the plane and nodded.
"This is a nice plane. I've never actually been on a plane before. This should be an interesting experience. Perhaps I'll post something about it on Facebook. If I had my phone." Marko turned and looked at Mal then laughed. "I'll do it after you're done playing that level of Wrathful Cardinals."
"Angry Birds," Mal said.
"Enraged Ornithoids?"
"Angry Birds Marko," Mal said laughing.

The Piskey finished her game and silently handed Marko back his phone. "Mine's dead," she said by way of apology. "I packed my charger last night and forgot to charge it."
She looked out the window for a moment, grinning. "Oh, yeah. Don't forget to put it in Airplane Mode once you're done on Facebook."

Marko looked down at the side of the seat. With a smile he pulled a charging cable out of his pocket and plugged it in, then held out his hand.
"Give me your phone," he said. When Mal handed it over, he plugged it in. "Problem solved," he said with a grin.

"Hey, thanks!" she responded as the door slid closed. Mal felt the pressure change as the jet began to pull away from the gate. She kept her eyes on the tarmac below the jet, grinning like an idiot as the plane slowly turned, braked, and began to move forward. "This is gonna be great," she whispered, her excitement building with the roar of the jet's engines.
She absently kicked at her duffel to make sure it was completely under the seat in front of her, then looked around at her classmates before returning her gaze to the outside of the plane.

Brooke hauls her big 'carry-on' bag in and stows it by some small miracle, humming the Star Wars theme and grinning with a continuous glint in her eyes. She sits down next to the spooked Akiko and doesn't seem to notice the nervousness immediately. "Omigod, it is totally happening right now! Back home to Cali already, I just can't even deal, people! Disney, here we come! Look out!"
When Akiko spoke, Brooke blinked and immediately took her hands. "Oh, no, this your first time flying? Well its going to be A-OK, Aki, I promise! You can just hold my hand the whole dang time if you need to."
She smiled reassuringly and took one hand away to pat Akiko's back in further support.

Akiko clung to Brooke's hand with both of hers and shook her head. "Last time..." She took a deep breath. "Last time I was this high, it was as Sailor Glory. The yoma I was fighting could fly. It took nearly two months before I could walk again."
She closed her eyes and squeezed Brooke's hand tightly. "And of course, every night I wasn't out patrolling, Glorious Bastard came by to remind me of what a failure I was. Uh, maybe if you sit by the window instead of me? If I can't see out, maybe...."

Brooke nodded with sympathetic airs. "Of course, Aki..." She got up to change seats, and tittered as she broke hand contact on one side, at the last moment, and kind of spun awkwardly to offer the opposite hand as she exchanged the seat.
"I think we just did a little dance!"

Aki giggled and gently poked Brooke's side. "I think we did. I wonder if they let princesses dance together." She sighed and closed her eyes, then rested her head on Brooke's shoulder. "Yeah... as long as I can't see how high we are, it's OK. Thanks, Brooke. So do we know which hotel we're gonna be in when we get there? I don't think anyone said which one before we left, did they?"

She giggled at the side-poke, but simultaneously with a rather poor try at an admonishing look which died immediately. The head on her shoulder she accepted without complaint. "Well, of course we can dance, huh? I mean, there won't be any princes, right?" She put on a mock 'pining for love' expression with a wrist up to her forehead. "Oh, but where's the Prince Charming for poor Cinderelli..."
Then she curled up and let out a sigh a bit more authentically, saying, "Though honestly, like, I'm more in love with that dress! Going to be soooo pretty..."
She shook her head in cluelessness about the hotel.

It had been a long, drawn-out, fight but in the end Trip had won.
His father didn't trust the Ashton jet. He wanted his son to take there jet with all the hidden compartments filled with gear and tech just in case it was needed.
Trip wanted to go with his friends, so they argued. They yelled. They fought. And then finally, his father backed off.
It took the intercession of his grandfather but the battle was won.
Trip settled into the plush seat after securing the large hardcase of Hunterhawk gear in the cargo hold. It was the concession that won the battle. H had to take a full set of arrow and gear with him.
He also had to promise to always be armed. He had ten polycarbonate blades secreted on his body at the moment, he probably could fit another fifteen or so, if he wanted. They should be able to get past screening at the park because there was no way he would be able to get a bow in there. He glanced around the cabin at all his fellow students positively bouncing in there seats. THis trip will be long remembered for its fun. He narrowed his vision on one of the plane's stewards and signal for a drink.
It was one thing about Ashton's private planes he liked, they knew how to treat people.
He took the champagne and orange juice from the steward and settled in, waiting to see who was assigned to sit beside him.
