Meet Me At The Airport

EXIT

After what felt like an entire weekend of celebration, Daniella Spencer is reboarding her flight once again. In fact, this has been the longest "loop" that she has been on since the beginning of her adventures. She feasted with her family until all of their bellies nearly exploded on "Thursday", shopped at the airport until they dropped and watched American football on "Friday", partied non-stop on "Saturday", and savored the perfect lazy "Sunday" with her family. All of these crazy events took place in none other than the airport! Daniella didn't want to leave, but her family insisted that she continued traveling. They agreed to part ways on "Monday".

Daniella has been using quotation marks to label each day in her head in order to truly feel as though it was truly Thanksgiving... it could have been calender-wise, but on the other hand, it might not have been... but at the same time, it could have.... the concept of her new timekeeping begins to confuse her when Daniella reminds herself of the one lesson that Destiny has managed to hardwire into her mind after all these Happenings: Time is, however, we wish to define it.... at least that's how Daniella chooses to interpret it for now...

After an extremely long and tearful goodbye with her parents, along with the rest of the family, Daniella once again boards Flight 77X.

As Daniella settles into her typical seat, a strong perfume enters her nostrils. "Don't tell me I'm gonna have to move again..." Daniella remarks to herself as Lexi approaches her.

"Excuse me Miss... Spencer?" begins Lexi.

"Yes?" Daniella verbally responds while inwardly hissing.

"It appears that we have overbooked your seat."

Daniella slowly nods. "Okay..."

"As an apology for the inconvenience, we would like to upgrade you to Business Class." continues The Stewardess.

"I don't mind at all." answers Daniella as she peers behind Lexi to see a random-looking child standing behind Lexi.

"Huh. No tricks this time, huh?" Daniella thinks to herself. "Anything to help!" she answers out loud.

Daniella silently follows Lexi into the Business Class cabin, which, of course, continues to appear heavenly. "Looks like I've been behaving lately. Thank you, Universe! Or maybe this is Destiny continuing to treat me! In that case, thank you Destiny! I should bake her a bunch of cookies and have her eat all of them on my kitchen island the next time I see her...." mentally notes Daniella as she settles into her seat.

Lexi once again offers to take Daniella's belongings. The latter accepts the former's offer and Lexi proceeds to place Daniella's purse and carry-on into the overhead compartment. Daniella feels a shiver and gets goosebumps (or chicken skin) all over her body. She notices how tall and stiff the hair on her arms is standing.

"Wow! Freaky much! What exactly is going on?" Daniella pauses for a few minutes and has a thought that enters her mind:

"Wow. This strangely reminds me of when I first met Luke... that particularly reality when I first met Luke or at least when I met him in that specific reality... He looked so sexy in that suit..."

As she lets that simmer into her head, a sudden sense of sadness begins to dawn upon Daniella, causing her to frown inwardly.

"Oh right. I say that about Luke, but then I was quick to throw him under the bus when confronted with a choice... one that Destiny was extremely insistent that I answered. When Destiny/fake femme Luca was terrorizing me in the car before I hit my head, I choose Luca... or least the version of Luca that I have been familiar with... until now I realize.... but there's something about Luke that feels more familiar... more comforting... more intimate... like I can't seem to remember anything about this man.... but he feels more like... home, but even deeper than that... what's deeper than feeling at home with someone? Love I suppose? I don't know... but whatever that feeling or word is, I'm beginning to realize that I never quite had that with Luca to begin with... or am I just feeling that way because Luke has 'entered' the picture? UGH!!!! This is so confusing and difficult... why, out of all the people in The Universe, do I have to be stuck with this specific problem????"
