"Esther! Sit down! You're gonna fall out of the sunroof." I said pulling her down by the back of her shirt. The limo pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the airport.

Esther replied, "Oh, fine. So, Maddie, are you looking forward to your first ride on a plane?" She was giving me the 'I'm trying to embarrass you in front of a cute guy' look.

"You've never gone on a plane before?" asked Greyson.

"Well, it's not that I haven't had the opportunity," I hesitated, "I just never wanted to." 

"She's afraid of planes." Esther said continuing to embarrass me.

I shot my sister a 'shut the heck up!' look.

"Why are you afraid?" Greyson chuckled.

"Because I'm afraid the ...." I purposely mumbled the last few words.

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that last part." Greyson said as he leaned in to hear me better.

"I'm afraid the plane will...." I mumbled again.

"I still didn't hear the whole thing. Can you say it again?" He laughed as he scooted over next to me.

"I'm afraid the plane will crash while I'm on it." I ashamedly put my head down so my hair would cover my face. I don't like telling people what I'm afraid of, they usually ridicule me.

"Aw. There's nothing to be afraid of." Greyson started to rub my back sympathetically. "The chances of the plane crashing are very low."

I lifted my head up. "You clearly don't know me. The weirdest  things happen to me."

'I'm convinced her life is a sitcom. And it's a pretty good one, I laugh my butt off when she comes home with another story about how she gets herself into crazy situations." Esther said failing to contain her laughter. "Like the time you came home with the back of your heel cut off because a 7-year-old pulled you down the inflatable obstacle course." She laughed, clearly amused at my expense.

"How did you cut the back of your heel on an inflatable obstacle course?" Greyson asked.

"The sun was beating down on the plastic and it got very hot. I was a volunteer at a school carnival and a kid thought it would be funny to pull me down as I helped her up over the wall. So she did and the hot plastic on the slide burned a quarter size chunk of my skin off." I said laughing at myself. Esther was laughing hard and clapping her hands like a seal.

"Ow. Oh. That sounds painful." Greyson shuttered at the thought.

"It was. And I couldn't put a Band-Aid or first aid cream on it for 5 hours. I had to grin and bear it." I said laughing at Greyson and Esther.

"I love your life. It keeps me entertained." My sister said calming down from her laugh attack.

"Oh, thanks Esther. I'm glad my pain brings you joy." I said sarcastically.

"Oh. It looks like we're here." Greyson said looking out the window. The limo pulled up to the drop-off zone of the airport parking lot. We got out of the limo and grabbed our bags.

"Thank you, Tyrone" Greyson said to the limo driver. Tyrone nodded and drove off.

We walked into the airport and stood in line for the security scanning. After the scanning we dropped off our bags and sat down in the VIP waiting room.

"Ugh. We have to wait 20 minutes to get on the plane." Esther slouched in her chair. "And my outfit is sooo uncomfortable!"

"Well, that's what you get for wearing skinny jeans and a leather jacket." I said.

"Ugh. You sound like Mom." She said, annoyed. "Switch clothes with me."

"No. You chose that uncomfortable outfit and I chose comfy yoga pants and a tank top. But lucky for you, I packed sweat pants and a t-shirt in my carry on." I pulled out the extra clothes and tossed them at her.

"Yay! Thank you!" She went to the bathroom to change.

"Awww. That's sweet." Greyson said looking at me from 2 seats down.

"What's sweet?" I asked.

"The way you look out for your sister." Greyson smiled.

"Don't your siblings look out for you?" I asked.

"Well yeah. But that's different. I've never seen sisters act like you two do. You're act more like friends than bickering sisters." Greyson said.

"Yeah, I guess we're pretty close. We share clothes and everything. I tell hereverything, well almost everything." I said.

"I wish I was that close with my siblings. Ever since I became famous we haven't been as close." Greyson said with sadness in his voice.

I got up and sat next him. "Hey, look on the bright side. You can Skype, text, call, and visit them." I put my hand on his arm. "And you're making them proud by doing what you love."

Greyson smiled. "You really know how to make someone feel better, don't ya Maddie." He put his other hand on top of my hand.

Esther walked back in. "Hi guys. Has it been 20 minutes yet?"

Greyson took his hand off my hand and I took mine off his arm.

"Um. Yeah." I said looking at my phone.

"Awesome! Come on, let's get on the plane." She said, completely oblivious to what Greyson and I were doing. She grabbed her carry on bag. Greyson and I stood up and got our bags, as well. We walked through the terminal and got on the plane.
