Chapter 14: Heading to the Big Apple

A month had passed and through that time, the ALDC won two out of the next four competitions, one of those wins came at Regionals on January 20th in Philadelphia, which ensured the Abby Lee Dance Company had qualified for Nationals which was coming up in July. Stanley and Allison had recently been smiling at each other a lot more than before, they'd glance at each other, sometimes they'd whisper jokes in each other's ears and it would make them laugh.

An an airport named Midway, which is on the southwest side of Chicago, the time was 11:45 AM and at gate B11, Abby, Stanley, Kalani, Allison, Gianna and James were all sitting in the waiting area as they were waiting for their flight to start boarding to New York City.

"I love going to New York City." Stanley said.

"Me too." Allison agreed.

"You two sure loved to travel and i can tell that you still do." Abby stated.

"You know it, mom. Growing up while dancing for you, myself, Gia and Allison got to experience a lot of cities, especially New York."

"Once, we got to see a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden in 1997." Gianna added.

"I bet you all enjoyed yourselves at that time." Kalani told them.

"We did, Lani." Stanley answered.

"I'd like to check out Radio City Music Hall." James said.

"That's a really great place beacuse that is home of the Rockettes." GIanna told her boyfriend.

"Maybe we can see Times Square, see those lights that help make New York City or we can ride the subway, go to the Empire State Building or Rockefeller Center on our day off." Stanley suggested.

"Those are some great ideas." Abby told her son. "The subways also make new york like the ones on State and Dearborn that make Chicago."

"Kalani, do you know that the Rockefeller Center has a interactive show on a see through glass of one of the elevators while it's either going up or down?" Allison informed Kalani.

"No, i didn't. But i would love to see it." Kalani said.

"Gia, have you ever rode a ferry?" James asked Gianna.

"A few times, yes." Gianna answered. "We'd see the statue of liberty while on the ferry."

"That's cool, i've seen it a lot of times." James said.

"Passengers, can i have your attention please, for those who are boarding Southwest Airlines flight #611 that will leave at 12:00 is now boarding at gate B11." A voice said over the intercom.

"That's our flight." Stanley told them.

"All righty, let's board." Abby stated as she, Stanley, Kalani, Allison, Gianna and James all got up from their seats with the other passengers and got in line to board their flight, then when they got to the door, they showed thier boarding passes, then the six walked through the jet bridge of the gate, then they stepped on board the plane. Abby, Stanley and Kalani sat in one of the front seats and across from them were Allison, Gianna and James, then after the boarding was done at 11:58, the flight attendant grabbed a microphone and began to speak.

"Good afternoon, Passengers, we would like to welcome you aboard Southwest Airlines flight #611, which will be going non stop to the LaGuardia airport in New York, New York and the estimated time is two hours and thirty five minutes, which means that we'll be there at approximately 1:40 PM.
