"Harun." Springy said, holding the banner to him. He stared at it before taking it and thought for a second, staring at the banner as thunder clapped and lightning struck outside, the rain pelting harder and harder, giving both Funtime and Nightglow a jump on their spots.

"Well, I do remember one terrifying moment for me..." Harun said.

I was around 13 at the time, before I met you all at high school. Before that, I actually lived all the way over at Egypt. But we wanted a change in pace, and decided to take both a ship and plane trip to the states. The ship ride went smoothly since I was used to riding those boats in the rivers of Egypt. But when it came to planes, I was hesitant. I never really flown anywhere, and this was a new experience for me to suddenly be on the ground or on a ship to literally being on the air. So I got a tiny bit of aerophobia at the time.

"Yet you still got on the plane?"

Yeah or else me and my family would be too late to get to our new home and who knows when the next plane ride to our destination would happen alongside all those paperwork and a waste of possibly hundreds or thousands of dollars.

But I kept on thinking of the worse when it came to being on that plane. What if we'll crash, what if we explode, what will happen? But, nothing ever did happen on the plane. So we basically had a 13 plus hour overseas flight from Egypt to the United States.

"Had jet lag after that?"

Had jet lag for a little while.

"So you were actually born in Egypt?" Mystery asked.

"Yup. But my little brother David was born here in the US." Harun nodded his head.

"Do you still get aerophobia every now and then?" Stella asked.

"Kinda. That was most likely the first and last plane ride I'll have, but I have no idea if I at all would need to fly back to Egypt. I never really had any friends over there as well."

"So we're your first friends?" Plushie asked with a little grin on her face, nudging his arm with her elbow.

"Yeah, you were. David's a really shy kid, and even he made friends." he smiled, reaching into the hat Tara lent over to him and pulled out a piece of paper.
