"Flight 447 boarding now, last call."
I ran to the attendant, handed her my ticket and made my way inside the plane. Another attendant greeted me inside and offered to escort me to my seat. Knowing my luck I was seated right beside Aaron and Nick.
"The tickets must've been booked earlier" I thought to myself.
"Oh hi Michelle" Aaron cried.
"Are you sitting next to me?"
I grinned.
"Sure am kiddo"
"Hey Nick... Michelle's sitting with us" Aaron yelled into Nick's ear. Nick opened his eyes and pulled the earphone away from his ear.
"What???" he asked, only to catch sight of what Aaron was talking about.
"Oh... hey Mich... well we're finally off to Australia" he greeted.
"Yeah it's bout time eh" I smiled and took my seat inbetween Aaron and the window somewhat happy, things seemed fine between us after all those incidents we seemed to find ourselves in.
I felt something crawl past my arm beside the window I looked down only to scream out loudly and jump off my seat moving as far away from it as possible. I then watched horrified as the huge black spider was pulled back in with a stick by AJ who was breathlessly laughing along with everyone else.
"Oh my god that was so not funny!" I shrieked. They laughed even harder. I glared at them as a flight attendant ushered me to sit down and buckle up, then told the guys to keep the noise down. AJ handed the spider to Aaron making sure the attendant couldn?t see it.
"Thanks for that buddy" he laughed. Aaron grinned and put the spider back inside the hatchet.
"Your not seriously, going to keep that thing in the same breathing space as me." I fumed and looked at Nick helplessly, who was grinning in amusement.
"Alright, alright Aaron... we'll get Mr. Tiscison outta here. Come on" he said picking up the small hatchet and walking away with Aaron. I turned around.
"No more tricks ok... please... man, that wasn't even funny" I cried.
"Oh yeah it was" AJ and Brian agreed. I gave them a dirty look and sat back down, buckling up my belt. I picked Nick's headphones which were hooked into his discman. Hitting play, I leant back and shut my eyes. A song I hadn't heard before began playing, it was a slow soft kind of song. I was soon tuned into every words, my heart refusing to continue beating.
"If only tears could bring you back to me, if only love could find a way, what I would do or what I would give (note: I'm not sure about the lyrics) if you return to me someday, somehow, someway, If my tears could bring you back to me... "
My eyes began to blur.
"God I can't listen to this" I muttered and pulled the earphones out of my ear, Aaron was looking up at me wide eyed.
"Don?t you like the Pokemon soundtrack?" he asked.
"Oh it's good... I'm just not in the mood right now" I quickly said, Nick gave me a weird look as I handed him the discman back.
"Thanks" he quietly muttered.
"Then why are you crying" Aaron continued.
"I'm not... crying" I responded and quickly dried my eyes.
"I just... something's in my eye" I added, rubbing furiously at my right eye.
"Oh... that's ok then" he said and smiled.
I smiled back and turned my gaze out the window, only now noticing we had already taken off and were now millions of feet above the ground.
"If only tears could bring you back to me" I silently whispered.
