It was time for us to fly back to Australia. This time, it was more stressful. We were notified that this tour would be filmed. It was a film basically featuring us. Oh! I'm glad we're not in your generation where you feature our daily lives in reality shows.

The four of us were walking the corridor heading to the plane. Ben was with me while Anna was with Björn. As we were about to reach the doorway...

"Do we really have to fly?" Anna stopped and asked. The three of us looked back at her. "I'm scared."

"You'll do fine, babe." Björn came back for her. "There's no other way to travel there."

"Anna, we're here for you." I added. "We're a team, remember?"

"There are no other people inside the plane. It's just us and the staff. No media, no others."

She took a deep breath. "Hold my hand til we get there, babe." She wrapped an arm to her husband's arm. She looked at him. "I love you, daddy."

"I love you too, mommy." He replied with a smile.

"That's too sweet now." Benny told the two. "Come on now. You ready, Fridsy?"

"Fridsy?" I asked.

"Anni-FRID SYnni ... haha!!!"

"Eh? Frida is good. I'm ready. Are you lovebirds ready?" I called Björn and Anna who were about to make film's kissing scene.

They stopped and looked at us. "Aright. Let's go."

Ben and I went ahead of them. They took it slow for Anna's sake. I overheard them as they were able to catch up with us. "Thank you, babe. I'll make it up to you when we get there." Anna teased her husband.

After I sat on my chair, the couple passed by. I told them, "I heard your plans. Haha!!!"

"Oh Frida. It's supposed to be a secret."

"Next time keep your whisper soft." I whispered to Anna and I softly laughed. Bad thing she glared at me.

"Frida..." It was just hormones. Don't worry.

"Sorry. Sorry. Don't cry. Don't get mad." She walked out after my apology. Again, it was just hormones for her.

Anna tried to sleep during the entire flight just to forget the fear. She was leaning her head on the pillow beside Björn. She looked peaceful. It was actually a hassle to sleep like that, but I was glad she managed it.

It was actually odd that the men stayed awake while we were up, and they slept when we stopped. On the other hand, we women were awake during stopovers.

"Frida, can you accompany me? I just want some fresh air. Besides, I don't want to disturb him." Anna asked me. I just nodded my head and followed her.

As usual, we went to the washroom. Then, we just sat on the bench. "How was the trip? Did little champ enjoyed it?" I asked Anna.

"It was just fine. You know I slept almost all the time, trying to make it up with all the stressful work we had."

"Can I rest on your lap?" I asked permission. Awkward. I know.

"I thought you had enough rest, but okay. Whatever."

"Hi there champ! It's Aunt Frida. Are you okay in there?"

"I knew you'll be doing that." She stroked my hair.

"Why not? I bet he can hear us." I told her.

"You really are funny Frida." She placed her hand to my face. "I am glad you are this supportive to me and my champ." She smiled at me.
