Lily was born two years before the Soulmate serum, Amorium, was released to the public. The fairy tales told to her by her mom while she was growing up were slightly reworked to ensure that little Lily knew the prince and princess of the story were...
I figured out a way to add emojis via PC, let me know what you think! I'll also fix Chapter 2 to reflect this. Or at least I see them when I go into preview, so I imagine they are still there.

To say I was a bundle of nerves would be the understatement of the century. I thought to myself after popping a piece of gum in my mouth, securing my safety belt, and then clenching the armrests of my seat so tightly with my hands that my knuckles almost instantly turned white due to the vice-like grip I was holding them in. I probably shouldn't have proceeded to get ready for the flight so soon; they still had to let other passengers on board. The problem is I had already been going stir crazy waiting for the time to pass before boarding was called. Logically, I understood the reason for all the security procedures, but that didn't mean that I appreciated the fact that I had to be at the airport two hours before take off in case there was some kind of delay with another passenger passing through security.
I try to calm myself down by mentally running through my flight itinerary. My entire trip would last about sixteen and a half hours. The flight to Detroit would only take about two and half hours, which I couldn't help but be grateful for. It was a relief to have such a short flight for my first trip ever on an airplane. I'm even more thankful for it because of how long the second flight will be. Hopefully I'll already be used to all the intricacies of being in the air on this flight before my transfer to the next. My layover in Detroit will be a bit annoying, because I'm going to be stuck there, in the airport, for four hours before the longer flight. Then I would be stuck on a plane for fourteen hours, of course I planned on sleeping during that stint of the flight. Here's to hoping I can be comfortable enough to do so.
Perhaps I should have taken Raina up on her offer to fly with me. The only reason I declined was due to the extensive amount of funds she had already splurged on me. I really didn't want her to have to dish out another $1500 to fly over with me just so I could be comfortable. The only thing that would have prevented me from declining was if there had been a concert before this 'Meet and Greet' event. Then she would have at least been flying with the intention of seeing her favorite group perform.
Raina did try to offer me some advice for my first flight ever. I find myself reliving all the things she helpfully shared with me.
