Only With You

Chapter 7: Aloha from the Beach boys!

"Yes, yes I will get use of it, of course!" I said into the phone, looking down at my new camera. "Oh yes, aunt Abby, we are leaving today! Yes... yes I wish you were here too," I looked over at the boys who were packing the car slowly. I motioned them to rush. "Yes, well...-aunt Abby, yes, I really have to hurry you know, the plane leaves in an hour and there will be heavy traffic on th.... Gee thank you for understanding! Love you auntie... Okay, yes, we will talk when I get back! Goodbye." I slammed that phone down instantly.
Denny was checking the two surfboards which had to be set in the trunk, making sure each was tied down securely.
"I think we are ready," Brian said. I didnt realize how he had already dressed up for the trip, a floral shirt, a straw hat, sunglasses, and a strip of white sunscreen applied perfectly to the nose. All of the guys made fun of him for it, and I did as well.
"I want a picture of you all!" I said loudly. "Huddle up."
"Cant this wait?" David said, rolling his eyes and trying desperatly to get into the car.
I looked at my keys. "We arent getting into the car until I get a picture! I want to make sure that the damn camera works!" I laughed and they quickly got together. I took the picture easily. "Perfect!"
It sure was crouded in my car. The backseat held 3, But there were 5 men scrunched together yelling angry threats at eachother. "Al, I swear. If you dont get out of my lap I will hit you in the head, I promise." David yelled.
"Shut up you squares. All of you." Dennis said, leaning on the backseats.
Mike and Brian flipped him off.
"Hey, I have a question." Carl said in a louder tone than usual. he was trying to talk over the heavy wind that was blowing into the car, ruining all of the guys' hair.
"Well shoot." Dennis said, looking back.
"You guys have three seats up there and yet...,"
David hit Al in the head, distracting everyone.
"And yet, there seems to be two of you." All the boys agreed with Carl.
"Might I ask who payed for all of us to go on this trip. Who? Well, if you dont know it was my chick," Denny scooted up to me, putting his arm around me. "Lana, sweetheart, how many people would you like to be sitting up here with you right now?"
I laughed, Pulling off the freeway to Los angeles international airport road. "Just denny. "
All the guys laughed and snickered, knowing they should keep their mouths shut. I had (well... my father had) payed over 900 dollars for the whole trip.
"Hey in a few months, we'll be the ones with all the money, so you better watch out." Mike said.
Getting by in LA international was not an easy task, especially when you have 6 boys to look after. Every couple of minutes one of them would stop at a shop or want a hamburger or need to go to the bathroom. I felt as though I was thirteen again, looking over Mr. and Mrs. VanHorns three children, whom I only looked after twice before i quit babysitting for good.
We gave our tickets to a woman with a bright blue outfit and a matching pillbox hat. "Have a great flight, and thank you for flying with Hawaiian Airlines."
Into the loading bridge we went, and I made sure none of the guys had been left behind. "Guys, remember, First class!" I said loudly. They cheered.
The stuartists that were dressed in the same fashions as the woman who took the tickets greeted us on the way in. "Three to a seat please, if you are not a first class passenger please move to the back of the plane,"
Brian got the window seat, Dennis was in the middle, and I was on the isle. Directly across from us were Al, Mike and carl. Of course, David was alone in the row in front of us, squished in the middle of two 70 year old women.
He turned around and looked at the three of us. 'FUCKING HELP ME' he mouthed. Dennis and I cracked up. Brian sat quietly looking out the window and biting his nails.
I reached over to brian. "Are you okay, you seem a little out of it."
"He doesnt like flying. Never has, never will," Dennis whispered in my ear. "He was up a couple nights ago talking about that american airlines flight 1 crash, the one that was in march."
"Hey, brian... brian." i reached in my purse and sneeked out two blue pills. "Take these, I snuck 'em out of my mothers bathroom, they will help you relax and maybe get some sleep. It looks like you need it."
He put out his hand, and I handed them to him. "Thanks." he said quietly.
The plane began to rumble louder and louder. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to flight 416 on Hawaiian Airlines. Please fasten your seatbelts tightly and once we are in the air, the stuartists will come and take your drink orders."
As the plane began to shake I got out my pack of lucky strikes, and gave one to denny, who was holding my hand.
The ride was smooth, accept for the landing which caused a few items of baggage to fall out of the compartments. Brian slept through it all, in fact he was even asleep during take off.
"We are here!!! Hawaii!" I said excitedly. "Brian, wake up!"
Dennis punched Brian in the arm. causing him to jolt up quickly.
"Good afternoon passengers, we have arrived in Oahu on schedule. It is a sunny 84 degrees and 3:00 in the afternoon. Thank you once again for flying Hawaiian." We all got out seat belts off quickly, and I led the pack.
As we walked down the steps of the plane, hula girls were waiting with flower leis. "Oh I'm so excited!" I said, walking slowly down the steps.
Finally it was my turn. "Aloha, welcome to Hawaii." The pretty woman said adorning me in beautiful flowers.
I gave thanks and quickly fished out my camera, taking pictures of all the boys.
"Hold on," one of the hula girls said. "Are you... Brian Wilson?"
"Well, gee, for a matter of fact I am."
The two girls screamed suddenly and Denny and I, who were waiting for the rest of the boys were taken back.
"Can we have your autograph?" They said ecstatically.
Brian was very confused and already disoriented. "Yeah sure, how about we will wait for you gals to get done with this." He said slowly.
He walked away and gave us a look as to say 'what the hell is going on'. As each of the guys passed, the girls got more and more antsy. they kissed mike a couple times and then let him pass. Then David. Then al. Then Carl,
"They sure are friendly here," Al said.
"They know who we are!" Dennis said to the gang.
We waited about ten minutes and then all the boys signed one of the flight napkins for each of the girls. They kissed them again and ran off.
We walked into the airport to get the boards and all the guys suitcases. We all didnt know what was going on... I looked over the airport and  saw that all of the tourist shops were showing off the newest and hottest new 45 there was. Surfin' safari/409.
"Um, Denny darling..."
All of the boys were busy either checking out different chicks that had just arrived in Oahu or shopping in the clothes shops. so busy that they hadnt noticed anything. 
Denny looked at me curiously. "What is it? Is something wrong with your board?"
"No, darling, look around..." I said slowly. 
He paused. "Holy shit... are we famous here?"
