Robert Irwin's Zoo

The Flight!

You reach over and slam the stop button on your alarm as it goes off once more. Then it hits you. The day you leave is today! You scramble out of bed and put on the clothes you had laid out the night before.

(Pick one)

Then you grab your suitcase and photo bag and scramble downstairs. You dump your bags by the door and wait for your mom to wake up to drive you to the airport for your ten o'clock flight. You grab your favorite cereal and energy bars and make yourself a quick breakfast. When you are half way done your mom comes down and grabs the paper from the mailbox. She tells you to slow down, its only 8 o'clock.

Y: Mom, its the biggest day of my life! I'm going to Australia! 

M: And I shall be sad to see you leave the nest, but promise me you will be ok, alright? And call me when you get there.

Y: Ok! Can we leave now?

M: Yes, we should its time to leave so we can get through security and get you boarded on time.

Y: Yesssssss!!!!

You run over to the sink, rinse your dishes, grab a Propel for the car because of the evil rule of no outside food or drink on the plane. You rush over to the door and grab your bags and sprint to the car. Your mom pops the trunk open and you throw your bags in. You check for your tickets and passport on your phone and see them and are satisfied. Your mom hops in and you start your drive to the airport.

(Time skip brought to you by going through playlists and you jamming with your mom in the car to the airport sksksk)

You get through security and head over to the lounge where you are supposed to wait with your mom until your aunt comes. You sit there for about ten minutes when you see a familiar face coming though the crowd

Y: Hello favorite Aunt!

A: Why, hello favorite niece! Are you ready?

Y: Born ready! Let's go!

You hug your mom goodbye, tell her that you'll see her in two months, and that you will write stuff down so she can read it when you get back. She hugs you and you and your aunt head for the gate to board. You show the lady your tickets and passport and she gives you the go ahead to board. You excitedly board with your aunt and grab your carry on out of your suitcase and put that and your camera in the overhead bin. You are happy because you get the front row in a 747 which means leg room and a personal TV. You find your seat, which is by the window and sit down. Your aunt informs you that you are the only two in that row, that no one else is sitting with you guys. You wait until the flight attendants have finished the safety rules and regulations before prepping to fall asleep for the long flight.

(Time Skip bc dreamless sleep, just staring at the back of your eyelids.)

Your aunt taps your shoulder, saying that you had slept nearly the entire flight and that we were landing in an hour. You decide to turn on the TV and watch whatever popped up first. It was Spider-man: Homecoming and you loved that movie and so you decided to watch it. You are so sunk into the movie, you nearly completely miss the notice for the seat belts.

You snap off the TV and put on your seat belt. The plane starts it's descent and you hear the hostess over the speaker say the weather and time, in AEST, Australian Eastern Standard Time. You will have to remember to see if your phone switched over. The landing is very smooth and you and your aunt thank the pilot on your way off the plane. Over the Loud speakers you hear:

  Welcome to Canberra International Airport! Please enjoy your visit and watch carefully for koalas and other wildlife crossing the street.                               

You spot a coffee shop and ask your aunt if you can get some coffee after the long flight. She offer to buy it and hands you a ten. You walk up to the counter and someone comes to take your order.

Coffee Lady: Hello! My name is Katherine. Welcome to Hudson's Coffee! (actually there when googled it)

Y:Hello Katherine! Could I have the premium Arabica?

K: Of course! (turns to kitchen) One Arabica, please! (faces you again) So what are you here for?

Y: My aunt works at Australia Zoo and invited me for summer break. I'm here for 2 months!

K: Ahhh that's awesome. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. My family came here on vacation two years ago and we only went back to sell the house, get our stuff we needed, and say good bye to everyone!

Y: Wow. That's amazing! Any Aussie lingo I might need on vacation?

K: Ummm...I guess if someone asks how you are, you would say beaut bonza if you were great, if you hear the word prawns, they are talking about shrimp, and if they say G'Day, you should respond with G'Day too.

Y: Thank you!

(muffled shout from kitchen)

K: Your coffee is ready! I'll grab it and then you can continue to enjoy your day with your aunt!

Y:Ok!

(she returns with your coffee)

Y: Thank you so much Katherine! Have a great day!

K:You too! Enjoy your visit!

You turn around and walk back to your aunt and finds she has found all you baggage from the plane. You hand her the change from the coffee and grab your suitcase. You pepper her with questions until she tells you to calm down a little bit. 

Y: Is everyone in Australia so nice?

A: It's very common to have someone be very nice here, we all live at a slower pace and we aren't in that much of a hurry because there is no point in rushing. 

Y: That seems so nice. In America everyone is really rude and has no time in life for enjoying  anything.

A: That seems terrible! We are almost at the car now, you can watch one of the movies in my car because it has a movie player. 

Y: Awesome! Thank you so much!

You throw your stuff in the trunk, but not before grabbing Avengers: Endgame and a bag of chips you also bought from the snack shop back at O'Hare (ORD)  from your bag. You pop the movie in the player and open your chips, preparing for a long 13 hour drive to Australia Zoo. You will call your mom when you get to the zoo.

A/N: Hello Mates! Sorry for not updating, school and testing is killing me! Anyway thanks for being patient. Aunt needs a name, give me ideas and I'll put them in a name chooser and pick the name that way, unbiased.
