Vacation

Departure

I heard my alarm in the distance. It became louder and louder, until I woke up.
I pressed the snooze button, crawled out of my bed and went to the bathroom. I had a shower and then I put my clothes on. I walked downstairs to eat breakfast.

As I walked into the living room, I noticed something different. Our piano had moved a little. 'Probably a mouse again' I thought. Our piano was on little wheels after all.

I turned on my phone and some of my friends were already online. I scrolled down to our groupchat and a little green box notified me there already were 47 messages in the chat. I opened the chat and read the messages, nothing special, just my friends bragging about how little they slept.

I sent: 'Yoo everyone! How y'all doing?'
Andrew: 'I'm good just a little tired xD'
Jennifer: 'ye man me too'
Killian: 'How can you be tired lol, I mean I went to sleep at 11pm and I'm not even tired'
I sent: 'Duuhhh, GENETICS?'
Killian: 'stahp pls'
Killian: 'me no want scool stuf anymor'
I had to laugh.

It was 4:30am in the meantime, I had eaten and I went upstairs to get my bag of clothes from upstairs. I attached my phone to the charger, it had to have a full battery because I didn't think there were going to be power outlets in the plane.

The first people arrived. Killian first, then Carlos (he was not late) and after that Lily arrived together with Jennifer, probably because they weren't allowed to go alone during nighttime. The others arrived as well, they were all quite early; at 4:50am everyone was ready to go.
We took the train and bus to the international airport called Schiphol.

'Wooooow, this looks like a fully working city!' said Andrew while looking at the tall hotels.
'Haha it kind of is' said Jennifer who apparently knew alot of airports, 'you have shops, restaurants, appartments, offices, hotels-'
'Woah that's enough' Andrew said, 'I don't have to know that much about airports! Are you a walking school or something?'
'Ouch.' I thought.
Jennifer managed to keep a smiling face, 'Lol no, I just know alot', although I knew she was sad from the inside.

I spoke to everyone: 'Follow me fokes!'
We checked in our bags and walked through the security check, for some reason I had to go through the metal scanner three times, because the first two times it went off. After that we went to Starbucks to get some coffee before we had to leave.

'Gotta love that Starbucks coffee' said Lily while enjoying her Frappuchino.
'I don't like it, give me a Strawberry & Cream venti' said Killian.
'Meh. I like the chocolate chip cookies the most.' I said while eating mine like a hamster.
I looked at my watch, 'Oh shit, it's six already! We have to be at the gate in 10 minutes!'
We quickly left to catch our flight.

When we arrived at the gate we could see the giant Airbus 360, it had massive wings and it was over 30 meters high.
'Magnificent' Lily said.
There was a line before the entrance of the plane and Killian almost fell asleep while leaning against the wall.

'Not tired huh' Jennifer said.
'Huh what, no of course not! I'm not tired!' Killian said like he had found a new source of energy.
'I think I saw you fall asleep there'
'No? I was just doing my morning ritual, close your eyes... Think of the beach... Hear the waves...'
Jennifer closed her eyes too, just like Killian expected.
'BOO!!!' said Killian in her ear.
'Haha gotcha!'
Jennifer and Killian had to laugh and so did we.

'We got seats, 46A to G, 47A to E and 48A, B and C. Find yourself a seat!' I said to everyone.
'Oooh can I sit at the window?' Lily asked.
'Sure, go ahead m'lady' Killian said while bowing like a gentleman and showing her the way to her seat.
The rest put their bags in the storage above their seats and sat down.
I sat on seat 47A, at the window. Jennifer sat next to me on seat 47B and Andrew on 47C.

Everyone was talking with eachother and making jokes. I was bored. Jennifer wasn't much of a person who made jokes alot, so we didn't really talk.
I was fascinated by the things happening outside, the luggage being loaded in, the mechanics who made sure the plane was safe to fly with and the contineous blinking of red, orange, yellow and green lights everywhere.
'Heh, safe' I tought by myself, 'So many planes crash nowadays, wouldn't be surprised if this one crashed too.'
I hoped the plane wouldn't crash.

After 15 minutes of waiting we got to see the safety instructions and after that we heard the captain speaking: 'Hello ladies and gentleman, welcome to Qantas Airlines, and today we're flying to Melbourne, Australia.'
'Pfft haha, how can you not know this is the flight to Melbourne?!' Killian exclaimed.
The captain continued: 'We just got the go-ahead from the control tower, we're ready to go! Put on your seatbelts please.'
The seatbelt light turned on.

We taxied to the runway, and we stood still for a second. The jet engines turned on.
Andrew was visibly scared so I told him not to be because this was the safest aircraft in the world.
Andrew was relieved for a second or two and then he was scared again, probably because we were moving now.
We started to move faster and faster and Killian started counting: '3... 2... 1...'
I felt the weels coming off the ground, we were on our way.
'Liftoff!!'
