This seat is the most uncomfortable thing in the world, argh. The back of the chair keeps digging into my spine. Twisting again, Emersion ends up in another unusual and painful position. At this rate, I'm going to becoming the hunchback of Notre Dame.

" Well, don't you look comfortable " a voice dooms over her.

Without even having to look up, she knows exactly who it is " What took you so long, old man, did we get lost on the way. Wow, losing eye sight too ..... everything is happening all at once for you now " she smirks, finally twisting her head to see Mike standing there rolling his eyes.

" Nice, new one " he says while taking a seat next to her, slapping her knee

" Yup " she giggles, dragging the P sound out "Whose Mr Jimmy talking to " Emersion asks, peering over Mike's shoulder.

" I don't know " he responses, followed by a grunt.

ATTENTION, PASSENGERS BOARDING TO DEEPWATER HORIZON, PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO GATE 32 G

Frowning, Emersion looks over at Mike, shifting in her seat again.

" Alright, kid, let's go " slapping her knee again, Mike pulls her up by her bag strap, grabbing her pillow while pushing her in front of himself. Forcing her to walk to the gate.

Emersion looks over her shoulder, giving Mike her best puppy dog eyes. Begging him to take her home, before she can open her mouth, he cuts her off.

" Nope, that's not going to work. No matter how hard you try, you are getting on that plane" Emersion scoffs " Hey, I'm not going to let anything happening to you ok " he looks her directly in the eyes. Closing her eyes, Emersion takes a deep breath in before turning around, forcing Mike to stop walking and almost trip over his own feet.

Holding out her hand, Emersion lifts her pinkie to him

" Pinkie promise, " Emersion asks almost in a whisper, looking down at her feet. His eyes soften looking down at her, a smile tugs at his lips before joining his pinkie with hers " I pinkie promise " Mike says

For some strange reason, Emersion feels relatively calm, with no sweaty hands, biting nails, or fiddling with her fingers. It probably has something to do with being on more of a plane than what they usually do. Silently sending a thank you prayer to the Gods, Emersion looks back to Mike, giving him a thumbs-up.

Halfway through, Emersion must have fallen asleep. She slowly opens her eyes, leaving her head resting on the window and tuning into the conversation, going a head

" I still can't believe that thing's on a boat " a man who she has no idea say, causing her eyebrows to knit together in confusion.

" Well, you can thank the lovely lady to your left and sleeping beauty upfront for that " Mr Jimmy proudly boast. A smile stretches onto Emersion lips. Pushing up off the window, she turns around in her seat, smiling widely at the rest of the crew and clapping her hands towards Andrea, which Andrea laughs at.

" Mr Jimmy " Emersion yells, getting cut off before she can continue.

" Welcome back to the world, dear. "

" Um, what the hell is the Bankston' doing here? " Emersion reports, folding her arms over her chest, continuing to stare out the window.

" Who gave that order " Mr Jimmy aggressively shouts, slightly causing Emersion to jump in her seat
