Lucy's POV

"Mom I'm hungry..."

"Then go get a snack at one of the stores."

I get up out of the uncomfortable airport chairs and go over to one of the connivence stores. I grab a bag of Doritos, a can of Pringles, a water, a bag of M&Ms, a People magazine and a pack of gum. I pay for my stuff and head back to mom. Right now we're in Chicago waiting for our layover to end so we can get to Montreal! Worlds start in two days! I'm reading through people magazine when I hear a familiar voice.

"Mom we made it on time!" Says the voice.

"I know it's a miracle!"

I look up and it's Isabel!

"Isabel!" I say when she gets closer.

"Lucy!" and she runs over. "Are you on this flight too?"

"Yeah! We got here 2 hours ago! But the flights been delayed a few times. I'm not sure where the plane is though."

"Yeah it's getting late..." and we both look at our phones... 7:12pm

"This is an announcement for passengers on flight 232 to Montreal. The flight has been delayed due to bad weather conditions. The Plane is delayed in Boston. Our new departure time is 8:30PM." We hear over the loud speaker and both groan out loud.

"Ugh this sucks..." I say. I've already been here long enough...

"I know... and I thought we were going to miss our flight!"

We go back to our moms and they've found each other. Isabel is sitting in the row across from us right now. I go onto my phone and text in the group.

*10% Battery* Flashes across my screen... Crap I gotta find a plug. I'm not above wall hugging... I grab my charger and I see a plug over across the walkway thing. I grab my pillow pet and headphones and go over and plug in my phone. I put down my phone but put on my set on repeat, The Blue Eyed Rascal at speed 104.

"And drum and de-delly dum click down. Treble treble toe and bang down. Top two three and..." I look up and moms standing there with our stuff. I take out a headphone.

"Lucy they're moving us to a different Gate and it's across the terminal! Let's go!" Mom says

I unplug my phone, 43%... that's fine... I take my bag and my globe from her and we start heading over to the new terminal.

We get seats and they're right by a plug. Isabel is next to me and she has her cup. I open up snapchat and we take a selfie with them. "Last days with our babies💔"  and I put it on my story. I look through the other stories. Ava's is updated. It's a picture of her and Sadie both with their globes. It's 8:25 and nothing's happening.

A flight attendant goes up to the intercom thing. "Flight 232 to Montreal is further delayed to 9:45." and leaves.

"Well we live here now..." I say to Isabel.

"Ugh I hate this. But the longer we stay the longer we have with our cups. Well globe in your case." She says, eyeing mine. I can tell she wants one of her own... I do too but I want the big one!

Apparently we both dozed off because at 10:23 out moms are waking us up because we're boarding. Me and mom are in row 4 but Isabel and her mom are in row 12. We say our good byes but we'll see each other when the plane lands. Once we buckle up and they go over the safety stuff, it's almost 11. I'm passed out within 5 minutes of take off. Mom is waking me up when we land and before I know it we're at the hotel and I'm laying in a comfy hotel bed that I have all to myself. Jake and dad didn't come because Jake has a basketball tournament which is basically his worlds... Worlds start tomorrow since it's like 5 in the morning now... Mom says we can sleep in then we'll go over to the venue to give back my globe and get my stuff.
