Fight ICE with ICE

Cheng Xiao: The Flight

"Xiao Xiao!!! Hurry up your flight is in 30 minutes!"

My dad is downstairs waiting for me to bring all my luggage down. In total, I got around 30 bags and 20 suitcases. My dad says I might as well take all the house if I'm taking that much luggage.

"Dad! Why can't you help me? If you want me to get there in time so much, wouldn't it be better if I got some help?!?"

I've got to make sure that I've got everything necessary for this flight and on my stay over there. I'm probably being just a tad bit dramatic, but then again, I've never been over there. It's better to be safe than sorry!

"Okay! That's all of it!" I smile as my dad just looks at me with a deadpan face.

"You won't need to go shopping over there then."

I think about it. My dad said that I could go visit my family, which means I probably have cousins too. Maybe my age Maybe? So I should probably rethink all of this packing... whatever! IT IS COMPLETELY FINE.

"Let's go dad! We're gonna be late!" I hop in the car and fasten my seat belt. My dad shakes his head and chuckles while getting in the car.

"Look who's talking now. The one who took about 1 hour to lower all of her luggage which in return made me have to go pay the private plane extra money to stay there another whole hour."

I look at him with fake endearing eyes, "Dad, you're the best!" Then we both start laughing and my dad fastens his seat belt.

"Okay but like for real, you really took way too long, I hope the driver over in China knows how to take care of all of your luggage!" My dad starts driving towards the airport where my private plane is waiting.

I smile while looking at the plane. For someone rich like me you would think that I've traveled everywhere. Well think again because I haven't gone anywhere beside stay in Maryland. I love my state. I don't have any family or friends outside of Maryland. Even my mom is still in Maryland! (For some reason)

My dad takes out a small pack of gum from his pocket, "You might want to chew gum while on the plane. Just in case darling."

I nod and take the pack of gum and put in my jacket's pocket. Then I go to get my passport checked and all of the other stuff.

As soon as all of that is finished, I see they are still loading all of my luggage. Reasonable, I would say, so I just head towards the seats on the waiting area and sit down.

"Xiao Xiao, I'll really miss you, but I think this trip will be good for you. You'll be able to meet the family that you weren't even aware you had!"

"Dad, I get it. I just don't really understand why he couldn't come. Everyone will be suspicious, because I've never traveled before. They probably know I've never been interested in sports such as ice skating. Doing this might make the situation better, but everybody is bound to find everything out eventually."

My dad looks at me sympathetically and smiles a bit. "Don't worry love. Everything will be just fine." He then gets up and says, "They loaded everything, you can go now." He hugs me and kisses me in my forehead. "Call me yea? Don't forget to call me every now and then, even if you are, quote quote busy." He raises his hands and makes air quotes with them.

"Don't worry dad, I won't be busy at all! I'll make sure to call you so don't be a cry baby, yea? C'mon! Let's go."

With that my dad helps me board the plane and gets off soon after. He cries a bit but tries to look happy even though he is visibly saddened. I smile and wave at him. I feel sad but I myself know how to control my emotions. I want to cry because I'll miss him too, but I can't cry, I've got to show my dad I can take care of myself too so he isn't sick worried about me. Just like that, the plane takes off.
