Lexington, Kentucky
Xavier and Clover both walked up the boarding stairs to their plane. The plane was headed to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Palam, Delhi, India.
"Xavier, I hate flights." Clover muttered.
"I hate needles." Xavier said.
"Is that gonna help?"
"No, not really. Just telling you that I have a fear too. If it makes you feel better, I checked the weather radar and apparently there should be no storms."
"Yeah... but..."
"Listen, plane crashes are like 0.0000009%, or 1 in 11 million. As long as we're not on the 11 millionth flight, we're fine."

3 hours into the flight, the sun started to rise. At this point, Clover was fast asleep, as Xavier watched the sun rise over the horizon. A hostess came up to both of them.
"Hi, would you like any drinks?"
"Yes, a Coca-Cola please." Xavier requested.
"Coca-Cola for you sir." The woman said.
She reached into the cart, and pulled out a Coca-Cola. She handed it to him.
"Thank you." He said.
He opened the lid, making a sssss noise that almost woke up Clover. He screwed the lid completely off and took a sip. It certainly woke him up as he was feeling a bit tired. Xavier still donned his suit while Clover donned a leather jacket and jeans. He continued to look at the sunrise, and he saw a few clouds pass by.
The sunrise was beautiful. The intercom buzzed on.
Hello, folks, I'm glad to report that we are officially past New York, and now over the ocean! The pilot announced happily over the intercom.
"Wow, that's nice." Xavier sarcastically whispered to himself.

Clover looked out Xavier's window nervously.
"Xavier, where are we?" Clover asked, also sounding nervous.
"About to land in London." Xavier answered.
"I feel like I have to throw up."
"Don't vomit on me!"
"I probably will."
"The plane's about to land in, I don't know, soon."
"Soon isn't soon enough."

Clover and Xavier walked off the plan as people cheered. Clover immediately ran to the side, as she gagged.
"Yep." Xavier said.
She immediately vomited. Xavier looked up into the sky to avoid looking at her. Her vomiting lasted about 20 seconds until she got back up.
"You okay?" Xavier asked.
"Ye... blugh." Clover tried to say, but she gagged again, starting to throw up again.
"Ugh, fuck me." Xavier taunted.
Xavier lightly patted her back as he looked away. He then grabbed her arm as she got back up. She wiped vomit off of her lips as she got back up.
"Are you okay now?"
