The Best Widows

Chapter 13 ~ He's Trying To Win Her Over

Allison's POV

I woke up early the next morning with the sun brightly shining into my widow. I sat up and blinked a few times.

I got up and got dressed and carried my suitcase out of my room. I grabbed the last few things I needed and waited for Peter and May to show up.

~ Hour Later ~

Peter's POV

~ On The Plane ~

"Yo, Parker. This is called an airplane. It's like the buses you're used to, except it flies over the poor neighborhoods instead of driving through them." Flash yelled.

Alli walked past us and stopped when he started talking.

"Ma'am? He Blipped, so technically, he's 16, not 21."

Flash was drinking what Alli calls 'a beverage for heroes'.

"I'll take that." The flight attendant said and took the drink.

"She's lying. I don't even know this girl."

Alli walked back to her seat near Betty.

"Classic Alli, right?" Tyler asked.

"Did you know Tyler was coming?" Ned asked.

"It It's so weird."

"One day, he's that one kid who made kids cry and give them nose bleeds, and suddenly, we Blip back, and he's still the same."

"Not all the girls are after him." I want to get off the topic of Alli's ex.

"No, man, they're all after him."

"Anyway, on to more important things. It's a nine-hour flight. We can play Beast Slayers the whole time. Are you excited?" I zoned out and thought of other things.

"I need your help to sit next to Alli."

"Seriously?"

" Yes, seriously."

"What about our plan? American bachelors in Europe." Ned asked.

"That's your plan. That's a solo plan. Come on, this is my plan. Please."

"Fine."

Ned got up with his computer and went to talk to Alli and Betty.

Allison's POV

"Hey, guys. There's an old lady in front of us wearing a crazy amount of perfume, and it's kind of setting off Peter's allergies. Betty, if you could switch seats with him, that would be-"

"He's allergic to perfume?" Betty asked.

"Yeah, yeah, because it It makes his eyes water, and he can't really-"

"Peter has a perfume allergy?" Mr. Harrington asked, "From experience, perfume allergies are no joke. I can feel hives breaking out already. Alli, stand up. Ned, take Alli's spot. Alli, you take my spot. Peter, let's get you out of there. Sorry. Zach and Sebastian, you take Ned and Peter's seats. That's all right. Ned, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Your safety is my responsibility. And Mr. Dell's, but he's I got it for now. Let's go, Peter! Let's go!"

Peter was stressed and so was I. I had to sit next to my ex.

"Oh, I got a dual-headphone adapter if you want to watch your favorite movie."

"Only if it's 'The Fallout In Our Stars', but no documentaries about the Avengers."

"I think I can make that work."

"Good afternoon, this is your captain speaking. Our flight time will be eight hours, 49 minutes to Venice, Italy."

~ Sometime Later ~

I got up to use the bathroom and Peter opened the door but then shut it again. I waited another minute and then left because I wasn't waiting.

Peter's POV

'Stop laughing, stop laughing.'

Alli and Tyler were watching movies together the whole time. She fell asleep on his shoulder after a while. That was supposed to be us!

~ A Very Long And Stressful 9 Hours Later ~

"Hey, did you see Tyler and Alli on the plane? They were watching movies and laughing the entire time. He's trying to sin her over."

"Dude, don't worry, okay? I'm sure that's nothing." Ned said.

"Hey, babe. Can you hold this?" Betty asked.

"Yeah, of course."

"Thanks."

Ned touched her nose before she walked off.

"What was that?"

"Well, we got to talking on the plane, and it turns out, we have a lot in common. So we're boyfriend and girlfriend now."

"Whatever happened to being an American bachelor in Europe?"

"Peter, those were the words of a boy. And that boy met a woman. A very strong and powerful woman. And now that boy's a man." Ned said.

"Babe?" Betty called.

"Coming, babe."
