I sat in the airport lounge staring at my ticket, in particular at the destination, almost in disbelief.

Miss Robyn Maddison,
"Edinburgh to Copenhagen"

I had waited for what felt like a century to travel to Denmark to meet my hero, and I couldn't believe that it was just around the corner.

Attention please: all passengers on the 23:21 flight to Copenhagen may now board in Gate 5.

I was that much in a state of trance that I almost didn't hear the tannoy announcement for boarding my flight. I picked up my backpack and headed down towards the gate, smiling all the way.
It was finally here, today was the day!

I then had my passport checked for the last time, and headed down the plane towards my seat. Luckily, nobody was either side of me so I could spread out a little bit, and keep my bags near me. Perfect.

Once I was all settled and comfortable, I checked my WhatsApp messages. I had a new message from an old family friend, Lucas Wilson, who had a house in Copenhagen and had agreed to let me stay at his house for the duration of my trip.

Lucas: Hello Robyn, hope you're okay and on your flight. I went to the player's training today and managed to see your favourite 😉 I told him you're coming to the training to see him tomorrow and he can't wait to meet you, and he's got a surprise for you. Hope that's okay 😌 I'll be at the airport to pick you up too! 🤪

I felt a sudden rush of excitement and threw my phone onto the tray table in front of me, producing quite a racket. Everyone turned around to look at me, but I didn't care. This was the best thing that had ever happened to me in my entire 18 years of life. I quickly messaged him back before the plane took off:

Me: Hi Lucas, just got your message. OMG you're such a legend!! I literally can't say thank you enough for that !!!😍😍 Can't wait!! ❤️

Words can't describe how I felt on that plane when I received that message. It's one thing that he knows I'm coming, but that he has a 'surprise' for me too??
Wow. That's almost as surprising as how good Lucas is with using emojis despite him being 60 years old.

As the plane took off, I listened to my favourite songs on a playlist on my phone. I think about how so many of those songs remind me of him, even though we've never met.

I had a pleasant flight knowing that Viktor Fischer knows I exist.
