Link lead Ellie to her plane and Crazy Kid trotted along by her side too, diamond bell “dinging” as he skipped…and he skipped a lot. There was a lot of “dinging” and “danging” when Crazy Kid was around.
It was a small but beautifully presented private Gulf Stream Jet, painted in silver and gold, with what looked like a family crest upon its tail fin.
The steps up to the plane were glinting in the sunshine and carpeted in a purple mat of pressed dried flowers.
As she entered the plane, she realised that this was like no plane that Ellie had ever been on before; it was very well furnished with beautiful rugs, expensive leather couches, armchairs, a bar stocked with “all kinds of everything” and polished wood everywhere.
“Hello Ellie”, said a voice behind a curtain and a very attractive and smiling girl stepped out…”I’m Sugar” she said…
Ellie took an instant liking to Sugar as not only was she very smiley and happy, Sugar was also dressed head to toe in "O&C" label clothes.
“Hi Sugar”…said Ellie, lovely to meet you and what great clothes you are wearing.
“Thank you”… said Sugar… “My husband Chris designs them; he has a clothes brand O&C with his friend Ozzy”.
Ellie was fascinated by this and wanted to ask for an autograph but decided not to, as it might not have seemed appropriate and went to sit down on a tan leather couch. Crazy Kid jumped up onto a table and lay down…he seemed like he had been in that position, on that plane, many times before.
“I will leave you with Sugar now, have a lovely trip”…said Link… and he turned and was gone. Crazy Kid waved his hoof to say goodbye to Link and started to look longingly towards the bottles of alcohol at the bar. Crazy Kid enjoyed “a drink”.
Ellie sat back and put on her lap belt and tried to relax. Her mind was, however, filled with excitement and a little bit of trepidation about this whole day….it may change her life!
Ellie heard another person boarding the plane…was this the prince?
“Hey Ellie, welcome”… said the guy approaching her, clearly dressed as a pilot. “I’m going to be flying you to the island and helping you to get aboard the boat HMS Spank-at-Sea…My name is Captain Randall Skaggs, you can call me Randall”…he said.
“Very nice to meet you Randall”…said Ellie… “May I get a drink to calm my nerves?”
“Just sit back and relax” Randall said…and with that Sugar appeared with a glass of champagne and the rest of the bottle in an ice bucket.
“I’ve brought you this…is this okay?” asked Sugar….”Oh yes thank you!” said Ellie.
Sugar had poured a drink for Crazy Kid too….in a bucket…It was his favourite mix of Vodka, Gin, Tequila, White Rum, Triple Sec and Red Bull, all in double measures. Sugar seemed to know his drink.
“Is Crazy Kid a frequent flier?” asked Ellie… “Oh he is… and knows the Prince very, very well” said Sugar, with a wink and a smile.
Crazy Kid consumed the drink from the bucket in what seemed like one gulp and then kept his nose in the bucket to keep licking. Crazy seemed to like licking.
Sugar took Ellie a magazine to read and soon they were in the air, flying to their destination…
As Ellie looked up from her magazine to take a sip of her champagne, she noticed Crazy Kid now on his 2nd Bucket, winking at her and flicking his tail, up and down and left to right.
What an unusual goat this is, Ellie thought.
“We are now a mile high, kick off your shoes and relax”, said Randall over the intercom system…just as Sugar came over to Ellie and asked “would you like to join our exclusive club?”
The thought of joining an exclusive club and being at over a mile high in the air really appealed to Ellie.
“Of course”… said Ellie and she signed the documents…
Crazy Kid, now on his 3rd bucket of cocktail, seemed to be smiling and to be more exited and looking for mischief. He had a sparkling glint in his eye that flashed in Ellie’s direction, which she could not help but notice.
Sugar came over to sit with Ellie, as she seemed to have finished tidying and on the tan leather couch, they chatted and chatted as they flew…
While they chatted, Crazy Kid fell off the table in quiet “thud” and crawled along the floor, disappearing behind a curtain.
