"Hello! Are you guys the Mion family?" "Yes that's us" Mom replied. "OK we got you guys on the pre-boarding so we won't have to wait long." "Hallelujah" i replied "I hate waiting around in airports." Before this I've flown on a plane twice once when I was Seven to SAF which is a theme park and the second time to our capital of Starli (named after the heaven we go to) for my grandparents funeral when I was eight. Unfortunately both of those times the plane was delayed and we had to wait forever to board. As we approached the terminal we heard an announcement over the PA speakers. "All those assigned for pre-boarding for flight 9937 to Fro please proceed to departure at this time." We approached the desk and gave our name. "Okay Mion party of four right this way." We boarded the plane and found our seats which were in First class. "Wow fancy" whistled Kelo. "Yes the Wish Network provides all its guests with first class accommodations" our guide told us. We settled into our seats and prepared for flight. Since it was going to be about an eight hour flight I was preparing to sleep for most of it.  "Ladies and Gentleman welcome aboard flight 2054 from Noam international to Fro International. Your flight will be approximately eight hours long so please sit back and relax. Once the seat belt sign is off feel free to walk around the cabin but please do not do this during supper time which will be announced as the flight attendants are trying to serve meals at this time. Also if we go through turbulence the seat belt sign will flash and then its best if u remain seated. In the event of lost cabin pressure adults please put the mask on yourself first and then put it on the child next to you. Thank you for flying with us today and please enjoy  your flight." "We're not going to lose cabin pressure right?" I asked Mom who was sitting in the window seat beside me. "No honey. The chances of that are very low." After that I was about to take a sleeping pill when Mom stopped me. "Honey since this is a long flight I'm going to have to wake you every  hour to walk around since its not healthy to keep your limbs in the same position for eight hours." "Dang. You do realise that this is going to make tomorrow hell right?" "Stay in your seat for eight hours and you just might not wake up the  next  morning" quipped Kelo. "Kelo!" Mom snapped. "What I'm not lying!" Kelo protested. I looked at Mom terrified. "It's fine Mako. We're just deal with the bad day tomorrow." SO that's basically how the flight went. I fell asleep and then had to be woken up for health reasons every hour. Ironically this meant I was going to have a terrible day tomorrow but that's life! We finally landed in Fro about 5 o'clock in the morning.

Mom woke me up after the plane landed and asked if I wanted help out of the plane. Since I wasn't in the greatest mood from having to be constantly woken up during the flight I snapped at her. "Gawd MOM I can still walk on my own you know! Stop treating me like I'm glass!" Mom looked at me shocked and with hurt in her eyes and Kelo looked at me stunned. "MAKO!" my Dad said "Apologise this instance!" I looked at my Dad and realised he was serious. "I'm sorry Mom. I didn't mean i..." Suddenly I felt really strange and I must have blacked out. 

When I woke up I was on a bed in a hotel room. Kelo was sitting next to me watching TV.  "Hey Bro are u alright?" Kelo asked me. "Yeah. I'm fine just tired. What the heck happened and how did I get here?" "You had a seizure on the plane and then were too tired to walk so Dad had to carry you off the plane and then he carried you into the hotel." "Dang talk about having to eat crow. I mean I was kind of mean to Mom for wanting to help me walk and then I end up needing to be carried off the plane due to a seizure!" Kelo laughed at that. "You're telling me! I thought Dad was going to kill you for being so rude to Mom! You know how protective of her she is." "Yeah, by the way where is Mom and Dad?" "They went downstairs to have dinner by themselves. Probably discussing things they don;t want us to hear." "Yeah I couldn't care less about adult conversation besides I'm honestly not that hungry." Just then the door to our hotel room opened. "Oh! Mako you're awake!" Mom said surprised. "I'm awake" I told her "I'm sorry about earlier Mom. I didn't mean what I said I was just tired." Mom smiled at me sadly "No problem honey. I figured you'd be cranky after an overnight flight. I think it would be better from now on to take day flights only eh?" Kelo and I laughed at that. "Yeah I think that would be better health wise" I said. "Anyway I came to tell you guys that this will be your room and your Dad and I will be in the room next door." "Wait you mean Kelo and I don't have to share a bed this trip?!" Mom laughed. "Yes. In fact thanks to the foundation we're able to buy two rooms adjoining together for the whole trip. Remember no staying up too late and no buying PPVs or inappropriate movies on the TV. If you guys want to buy room service your father and I have agreed to pay for it ourselves as long as you guys pay the tip." "Does inappropriate include horror?" asked Kelo. "You're allowed to watch horror movies as long as there's no nudity. Also Kelo if Mako has a seizure at night come and wake me or Dad please." "Don't worry Mom. I know when to call for help with Mako's seizures. Anything longer than five minutes is a emergency and you guys need to be called." Mom ruffled Kelo's hair. "You're such a good son. Now boys just a reminder that you are in a hotel and not at home so no bed wrestling or rough housing. Also if you guys want to go swimming you have to have me or Dad. The Hotel rules for swimming is the guardian has to be sixteen or both swimmers are thirteen." "But Mom I am sixteen!" Kelo protested. "Yes but it's in case Mako has a seizure we would prefer to be there when you're swimming." "OK Mom I guess that makes sense." Kelo said. "Okay that's about it. Have a nice night boys."
