"If you do not quiet down, we will seperate you all into business class!" the flight attendant hissed at all of us.

As soon as she turned he back on us Toby threw yet another piece of ice, which connected to my temple. He through his head back laughing madly.

I grabbed another piece of ice from my water and chucked it straight at his exposed neck. That jerked him back to reality.

"Your going to pay for that!" he said in a matter of fact tone. He raised his hand aiming for my eye but quickly Danielle grabbed it. 

"Ok you two have had enough," she chuckled forcing Toby's hand down.

We had only been up in the air for about 30 minutes and had gotten in trouble multiple times.

"Babe, lets watch a movie." said Riley pulling out his head phone splitter and inserting it in to the headphone jack.

"Ok what do you have in mind?" I said reaching into my backpack and fishing out my headphones, inserting them into the splitter.

Riley was already scrolling through the options humming a smile playing on his face.

"I don't know...What about.." he pointed to the screen and one of my all time favorite movies was there on the featured films list.

"Reel Steel?!" Yes I know I have a thing for robot movies.

He laughed a bit," Yes Reel Steel, now do you want to watch it or not?"

I nodded excitedly and put in my headphones but before I did I asked him a very important question.

"Hey maybe one day when we are in San Francisco... We can go see a baseball game?"

"Yeah sure, I know how much baseball means to you.We can see... what's your favorite players name?" 

I giggled at him," Your such a dork. It's Buster Posey and Tim Lincecum. Posey is the catcher, Lincecum being their ace pitchers, both vets on the team."

"Yeah yeah sure, goodness it's scary how much you know about baseball..." He said giving me a weirded out look.

The city San Francisco meant a lot to me and I've always wanted to go. They are home to my all time favorite baseball team. I'm seen them win two Fall Classics and them struggle through the hardest. Right now they are not all that hot but not to long ago my baby boy, Tim Lincecum, the freak pitched his first no hitter. NO one gets on first base, there is no errors and no walks. A clean and perfect game.

The movie began and I snuggled into Riley. My head resting on his chest and my legs curled up underneath me and one arm around my shoulders the other laced with my hand. 

After all we've been through and I still manage to get butterflies in my stomach when we touch.

Half way through the movie I fell asleep.

*An Hour Later*

"Please fasten your seatbelts before we land we will have to circle up in the air a bit, there is a really bad storm over LA and we can not land in LAX till it dies down a bit, Thank you." the flight attendant said calmly.

I looked around wide eyes from Riley's embrace and saw everyone putting on their seat belts.

I knew the one out of all of us taking this the hardest would defiantly be Dakota. 

She never liked roller coasters so what would make you think she enjoyed airplane turbulence.

Just then a boom shook the whole plane and that woke up Riley.

'What's going on?" He said a bit afraid.

"Just a bit of turbulence, it's fine. Just put on your seat belt." I said quickly put calmly.

He nodded and tightened his seat belt. Grabbing my hand and squeezing it hard as the plane shook again this time you could see the lightning strike outside of the plane window. I covered my ears as I knew what was coming next. The plane shook, some overhead luggage rattling loose and falling from the compartment above.

More lightning struck and thunder shook the cabin and then the worst happened.

The plane suddenly to a plunge of about 100 feet down.

My stomach felt as if it had gone up it to my throat.

Riley's hand was now cutting off my hand circulation.

I could hear Dakota screaming her head off as the plane leveled back out and the flight attendant came on the overhead speaker.

"Alright," she said clearly out of breath." We are about to land in LAX. Please fasten your seatbelt and prepare for landing."

I opened my eyes and Riley's hand was still glued to mine.

"Riley I so understand that you are freaked out but please my hand no longer has blood running through the veins."

He looked up at me then at our hands," O sorry babe!" he let go and blood instantly flowing back in.

I looked around first class and saw that everyone was for the most part ok.

"THAT WAS FUN." said Toby from the very back of first class. I then saw a pillow connect to his face.

"YOU TWAT THAT WAS NOT FUN." yelled Brenna from an aisle over.

I giggled and turned back around.

"You ready for some fun?" Riley said looking at me with a sly smile on his face. I nodded and I was so ready.

Finally the plane touched down and we got attached to our terminal quickly.

Getting off in 10 minutes is probably some kind of record.

We walked throught the tunnel chattering and then were suddenly hit by a busrt of sunlight.

The rain had cleared and the sun shone through. A rainbow visible through the windows of LAX.

"Whose ready to have some fun in good ol' Cali?" said Connor with a huge smile looking out of the window.

As Connor said that I thought to myself 'Wow, me so blessed. Who would've thought?'
