Gracie had only awoke when she was gently tapped by who she assumed to be Peter. Her eyes slowly opened, and she picked her head up off his shoulder.

Her arms were also nearing very close to him, which she moved over awkwardly. He smiled sweetly at her. "We just landed."

Grace was relieved to have slept through landing since she didn't like the bumpiness much. But that only meant that her and Peter had fallen asleep on each other for at least a few hours.

Just the thought of it made her squeal inside.

"Uh, thanks for letting me use you as a pillow," Grace giggled.

"Glad I could help," he laughed.

He noticed her attempting to give him his jacket back, but he stopped her. "You can keep it for a bit," Peter offered.

"Thanks."

It smelt like him, and in every way, it felt like him. Grace smiled, taking in the warmth and comfort of her crush's jacket.

The two waited to be able to make their way off the plane. Gracie struggled to reach the carry-ons ahead, and Peter generously grabbed Grace's for her.

They both smiled at each other again, Grace almost immediately looking away blushing afterwards.

The trip had hardly started, and she was already fantasizing about spending moments like this with Peter. 

Grace and Peter walked off the plane together, and as soon as they entered the airport, they found Ned.

Peter started talking to Ned, but they were quickly interrupted by Betty.

"Hey babe," she said, looking at Ned.

Peter and Grace exchanged worried glances.

"Betty, since when were you and Ned a thing?" Grace questioned.

The two had always been somewhat friends. They were mainly connected by Grace being friends with Peter.

"We got to know each other more on the plane," her best friend shrugged.

"Yeah! Betty's awesome!" Ned exclaimed. He looked at both Grace and Peter. "What about you guys?"

Grace wondered what Ned was talking about. "What about us?"

"You guys were cuddling on the plane," Betty chipped in.

The two teenagers' faces both went red, not expecting what Betty just confronted them about. She was right; Peter and Grace were close together almost the entire plane ride.

"No we weren't," Grace lied.

"Yup, no idea what you're talking about," Peter agreed.

"Dude, is that Peter's jacket?" Ned yelled, touching the fabric of the jacket Grace was wearing.

"Yeah," she said shyly.

Betty smirked and they entered the line to go through security.

The class entered the city through a boat, soaring through the waters. Many of them pointed at things, and Grace just smiled besides Peter.

Venice truly was beautiful.

Ned took out his phone while Betty posed for a picture in front of the water and the buildings. Even if the pairing was strange, Grace was glad Betty found someone sweet.

She knew that Ned couldn't hurt a fly.

MJ was near the front of the boat, pretty close to Brad. She glanced over at Grace and Peter for just a moment, and then looked back.

The boat came to a stop in front of an old-looking hotel. Some men were doing construction on the outside, and Grace immediately didn't love the hotel they were staying at.

"It's getting some upgrades!" Mr. Harrington said cheerfully.

Groans were heard from across the boat. The class began to climb out, and Peter was across first. He offered Grace his hand and helped her up.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a giant puddle of water. Flash's face was full of disgust. "This place is sinking!" he said annoyed.

Their other teacher, Mr. Dell, looked around at all of them. "Okay everybody, drop your bags off. We're going to meet at the DaVinci museum at 3! Let's go!"

The students shuffled upstairs uncomfortably, not extremely happy where they would be staying for the next bit. Grace was just happy that she would be with Peter and her best friends.
