//1: the boulevard //

(An: I guess this is based in California. I have an absolute love for southern California and I guess I wanted to write about it. I go every summer to see my dad there and its the most beautiful, extrodanary, exciting place vie ever been. I wish to live there but for now I'm on the opposite coast. I am also going to try to base each chapter on a song.)

  "Attention lobby 5d. All passengers for the flight from DC to LAX can now board the plane."
  "Well that's me!" a young boy said to himself. He had a ukulele case and a small shoulder bag in his grasp.
  His brown curls flew in his face as he jumped from his seat and made his way to the gate. His steps were almost like hops and seemed to be rythmed. An earbud hung and swayed along with his steps and the other was held in his right ear. He hummed softly and made his way through the gate and onto the plane.
   The boys eyes shone brightly as he took his seat by the window. He fiddled with the ear bud as he stared longingly out the window. He was filled with excitement and wander, everyone could tell.
  "Hello, and welcome to Delta flights. This is your captain speaking. We are on our way to LAX from DC for a five hour non-stop flight. The temperature is currently 45° and sunny. As we start our departure please remain seated with your seats in their up right position and your electronic devices either off or airplane mode activated. Thank you and we hope you enjoy your flight." the announcement was followed by the traditional safety video displayed on your personal screen.
  The young boy smiled and placed an earbud back into his ear. There was two young teens seated by him. One with pastel, pixie cut hair and another with glasses and long brown hair. Both smiled at eachother in a way that automatically gave away that they were together. The brunnete seemed nervous and the other seemed to console her.
  "Hey. Hey. Look at me. Your alright. Anytime you need help just let me know. Im right here.'' the pastel held her face softly as she spoke.
  The brunnete smiled and pecked her on the lips. "Thanks Ri."
  "Anytime, skye." she said holding her hand gently.
  "You two are a very cute couple." the boy spoke up.
  The brunnete turned to face him and smiled. "Thank you."
  "Thank you. Usually people aren't as kind. Im Orion. This is skye." she beamed. "Its nice to meet you."
  "Its nice to meet you too. Im Toby." he stated. "May I ask why you're nervous, skye?"
  "I tend to have panic attacks easily. Last time I was on a plane I passed out. Its weird that I want to be a pilot but Im not to fond of flying by myself. I guess I more so like to be in charge of the plane." her eyes were regaining color and so was her face. She must have been fairly nervous.
  "Well if you want I can be extra support if you're feeling nervous." Toby offered.
  "Thank you, it means a lot." she was now beaming. "Why are you headed to LA? If you don't mind me asking."
  "Music. I figured I should try to get a gig. If that doeant work out ill probably backpack across Europe. How about you?" he smiled and leaned back in his seat.
  "College. Starting in a few weeks. Again, wanting more than anything to become a pilot. But forensic science is also another dream. Im not completely sure yet. I do know that after college I want to travel a bit the pursue my career. And I hope Ri-Ri will be there for all of it." Skye looked over at Orion and smiled.
  "How did you two meet?" Toby asked.
  "School. 7th grade. Id seen her in the halls before and admired her. When we formally met I found out i was gay and had feelings for her. I ultimately fell in love with her after a year. Five years layer she confesed to having feelings too and here we are now."  she grabbed Orion's hand and grinned.
  The conversation went on. Two hours later skye had passed out on Orion's shoulder. She had an arm wrapped around her protectively and kept the conversation going.
  "Im in love with her. Ya know. She's my everything." she looked down at the sleeping girl.
  "What does being in love feel like?" he asked, allowing his eyes to close for a moment.
  She paused for a moment. "Well. Its amazing. You'd do anything for that person. Yourld go to the end of the earth to make them happy when they feel sad, because there laugh is the most beautiful thing along with there smile. You'll find it one day. I guarantee it." she looked up at him.
  "Ya think?" he chuckled softly.
  "Yup." she grinned.
 
   Three hours later it was around midnight and we had landed in LAX. The lights shone brightly. The people were all in a bustle to get where they needed to go. It was a beautiful sight.
  Orion and Toby exchanged numbers and other various contact information before leaving. He promised to meet her and the anxious brunnete sometime soon. Perhaps at a small café in the smack dab middle of town or somewhere on Hollywood boulevard. Either way they conversed about going to ikea, skyes favorite store, right after.
  Skye was barely awake getting off the plane and had to be escorted to the luggage bye Toby and Orion so she wouldn't fall.
  Toby had chuckled at the fact she was so short. He had thought there could be no one shorter than him that want legally a midget.
  They said their goodbyes and went onto their lives. Toby stood outside, watching the cars go bye in amazement. He held out his arm for a taxi and one pulled up beside him seconds later. He hopped in.
  "Hollywood boulevard, dear sir!" Toby about shouted in excitement as he buckled up.
  About 25 minutes later we pulled up on the boulevard.
  "32 dollars, sir." the cabbie spoke in a rough voice.
  Toby handed him 35 dollars. "You may keep the change."
  He never once looked back at him, he was to busy staring at the night life. It intrigued him. He was amazed at how people danced in the streets and the vendors who sole tacky souvenirs. Everything about this town was amazing.

An: I added two of my ocs. Skye and Orion. Hope you liked them.
