Falling For Humans (Steam Powered Giraffe Fanfic) ON HOLD

Part 6

The airport was packed with people and the crowd honestly frightened Rift. She was never a fan of people in general let alone a crowd of people in a closed of building. Rick was the only one there able to see her off and on her way. He kept a gentle hand on her shoulder in order to keep her from running off and away from her one chance to be with the man of her dreams. She smiled at the thought of Spine waiting for her with Hatchworth and Rabbit by his side ready to jump and hug her. Over the loudspeaker, a woman spoke saying that her flight was to take off in the next ten minuets. Rick stood pulling Rift with him. He held her shoulders gently and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Dont forget me okay?" He said with tears in his eyes.

"Trust me I'll be calling or texting you every day." Rick laughed and ruffled her hair.
"Of course you will. Now go get your man." Rick kissed her forehead and pushed her on her way. She smiled and walked to the terminal glancing back to see Rick, her brother figure, her best friend, the bravest man she knew, crying. He cried with a smile on his face as Rift was pushed onto the plane. She walked down the isle and found an empty window seat and sat down. She turned off her phone and closed her eyes. Soon, she would be with Spine. She felt a presence next to her and suddenly people started talking. She was too tired to open her eyes and look at who was next to her. As she fell into a light sleep she heard a familiar lullaby that she had heard the night before. It calmed her but she was still too tired to see who was watching over her.

Hours passed before the plane landed. A flight attendant was there to shake Rifts shoulder and force her awake. She looked up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"We're here miss." A few people were still getting off the plane. Rift smiled at the flight attendant and slowly got up.
"Thanks for waking me up." She said in a quiet tone before shuffling her way off the plane. Who ever was singing to her seemed to be gone. As soon as Rift got off the plane someone practically screammed her name.
"Rift!" She looked up to see Spine, smiling like a child on christmas. She practically threw her bag before jumping into Spines arms. He squeezed her gently and kissed her head. They pulled back a little and Spine rested his forehead on hers.
"You're beautiful. Did your hair get longer? Was your trip okay? You didnt get sick did you?" He rambled making Rift giggle softly.
"I'm fine. I love you." Spine couldnt help but kiss her softly.
"I love you too. I didnt know I could love because, well, Im a robot, but, I feel anyways." It took Rift a secont to see Rabit, Hatchworth, and a couple of Walter Girls. Standing behind Spine. A walter girl grabbed her two small bags while Spine put Rift down, allowing her to greet Rabbit and Hatchworth with warm hugs.
"Y-y-you look adorable Rift~. As U-u-usual."
"She's right. You look very cute." Hatchworth and Rabbit continued to compliment her as they walked out to a black van. Rabbit and Hatchworth got in the back seats allowing Rift and Spine to snuggle together. Rift nuzzled into his neck while he draped an arm over her shoulder, gently rubbing her arm. Rift looked out the window and sighed with a small smile. She couldnt be happier.

Meanwhile, a black Lincoln Continental followed the van a few cars back. The man behind he wheel bit at his sharp black nails nervously.
"Shit shit shit!" He swore out loud, almost screaming. He punched the steering wheel brushing his black hair into place.
"I can't let them get to her. I can't let them get to my baby girl."
