Two young kids, not very young, were on their way to an airport. Cherry and Atticus. They were leaving for their summer vacation and were on the way to visit some old faces in Cherry's life and to let Atticus meet and get introduced by them.

"Hello." Atticus said.

"Tickets please." Cherry told the woman behind a desk, handing some personal items in order to get boarded. 

"Thank you." the woman said, taking the stuff and typing into a computer as men came to take their bags inside the plane.

"This is going to be so exciting, Cherry." Atticus said out of excitement.

"I hope we have a good time." Cherry said as she straightened her backpack she would take on the plane ride.

"Yeah, me too." Atticus said as he straightened his backpack he would take on the plane ride.

"We still got a bit of time, wanna grab a quick snack to take on the flight?" Cherry asked, shuddering about airplane food.

"Sure." Atticus said.

"Good." Cherry sighed, then went to a little chicken sandwich place to get herself a little real snack than peanuts or stale popcorn.

Atticus joined her. Cherry was looking at various foreign things in the airport such as coin machines for new currency when leaving the country, some signs in various different languages, and some PSA's from around the world. Atticus looked around the air port he then saw a camera in a gift shop.

"Cool." Atticus said.

"You wanna get that when we meet Elizabeth and James?" Cherry asked, noticing that he had found a camera.

"Yeah and to take pictures of every moment." Atticus answered.

Just be careful with the flash, they have a baby and it might scare him." Cherry warned. 

"Flights are now boarding." the intercom said.

"Ooh, we better hurry." Cherry grabbed some things she wanted to take with her on the flight and had her ticket out, rushing to get on the plane with Atticus.

They got to the plane just in time.

"Thank goodness, feels like a rush." Cherry nearly panted and went to sit next to the window like she always does.

"You're telling me." Atticus said nearly panted and went to sit next to her.

Cherry took out some gum for herself. Even though she hated chewing gum, she only did it on plane rides. She took some of her mother's selling gum and popped some in her mouth for the flight, chewed a little while and waited until the plane would take off so she would chew a little bit more. Atticus was so excited.

"Want some?" Cherry offered so her ears wouldn't hurt during the plane ride.

"Sure." Atticus said.

Cherry took out some gum pieces and handed them to him.

"Thanks." Atticus said.

Cherry nodded, then glanced out the window as the pilot did the traditional welcoming everyone aboard and telling about safety procedures. Atticus payed full attention. Cherry's eyes slowly shut and she started to fall asleep. Atticus started to fall asleep as well. Cherry hummed a bit to the music she fell asleep to, but luckily her gum stayed in place. 

Atticus was now having a dream and where it showed him being a puppy. Cherry was just thinking how things were going to be in James and Elizabeth's house now. She was excited to see Junior now because Elizabeth had told her he can speak a few words now and can sit up on his own. She wasn't as excited about that as much as his parents, but she was happy to know he and the puppies had developed since she last saw everyone. Atticus's dream was wonderful up until his dream became a nightmare and showed him as a puppy in the dog pound and in the same cell with a big monsterous dog and began to chase after Atticus as a puppy until he tripped and the dog charged at atticus as a puppy and was looked like he was going to attack him.
