Why Change? (Straight furry story)

35. Welcome To America

I jolt up and all my pain is gone, I am back in my seat and it's daytime, Some crazy dream, I felt a little weird, and I see the runway, we land without any problems and unboard. We walk to the exit and see a fox hurry in, past us and dissapears into the crowd, "welcome to America" I said, and Vexera turned to face me "well, What now?" she asks, and I say "I heard the burgers are pretty good here" and we go to a burger shop for lunch, "Umm... I'll take two of those and just a drink" I say to the cashier, "that'll be $8.79" I give him the money and go back to my seat, when we get the food we eat, "they're right," Vex says "the burgers are bigger, but their beef tastes kinda off", then I say "because it's not Aussie beef, I think it comes from Texas", she smiles through a mouthful of food.

I book a hotel apartment and wait for the lift to come down, we get in with our bags and go to the second floor, when we finally moved in, we ordered an American style pizza. When the delivery person got here we saw the box, it was huge, "here you go, 27 inches of pizza." I tipped him and he left. "Wow, I did not know that pizzas came this big" Vexera said, looking at it, "we have a slightly smaller one in Australia you know", I said. She took a piece and put it in her mouth, she frowned and chewed slowly, when she swallowed she said "this tastes weird too, why is everything so American in... umm", "America?" I finished. I took a piece and put it in my mouth, She was right, this did taste weird, kinda buttery and oily I finished and agreed with her. 

We decide that the next thing we do is go to the museum and see the exibition of decommissioned guns, because, well, why the hell not? We're in America, so be it. then, I see something I want to forget, I see an A-10 suspended by wires with the gun pointed almost directly at me, I get kind of freaked out and step to the side, Vexera notices and asks "are you okay? you seem to want to not be with that plane", she points to the A-10, "yeah, I don't, an FA-18 that I was piloting was shot by one of these, my guns wouldn't work and the back gunner turned around and shot at me" I said, "but, if you're cool with it, then I don't see why I shouldn't" I stood back into the line of fire, shivers went down my spine and we went to see the FA-18. 

When we got home, we were exhausted and went to bed almost immediately, I think she liked it, I say to myself, and dozed off, hoping that tonight would not be disturbing like last night.
