- the day before departure (Thursday) 

you were in your room with Ellie picking out clothes for the trip.

Ellie held up a maroon red hoodie. "hey how about this one? you sure you don't wanna use it?"

she tossed you the hoodie and you caught it mid-air.

"wow, haven't seen this in a while. i'll definitely use this on the plane, thanks."

you put the hoodie on your bed, and continued to sort out things in your suitcase.

"yo, look what i found"

"huh?"

you looked behind and saw Ellie holding a framed picture in her hand. you immediately realized what it was - the picture you took before leaving Australia.

"oh my God, where'd you find that?"

"back of your closet."

she handed you the picture.

you took a long time just examining the picture and the people in it. Charlton, with his arm around you. Austin, hugging his Mum. and your parents, with big grins individually on each of their faces, and your house as a background. 

you read it aloud. "goddamn.. i remember that this was taken right before we left for the Airport. time flies fast as fuck, huh?"

"damn right. by the way, who are those people? your relatives or something?"

"nope, those are my old bestfriends. this is Charlton," you pointed to the boy beside you in the picture.

you then pointed to his brother and Mum. "and this is Austin, his brother, and their Mum."  you added.

"ohh... don't you wanna visit them or something? yknow, while we're in Aussie?"

you put the picture on your nightstand. "i actually plan to visit them but i don't know if they still live in Broken Hill."

"i'd love to see your old neighborhood. from what i've heard, Broken Hill is a pretty dope place. i mean, i've never been to Australia before-"

"wait wait. so you've traveled almost all over the world but you've never been to Australia?"

she shook her head. 

"pathetic."

"fuck you."

you both laughed. after the laughter died down, you went back to double check everything you've packed.

t-shirts, jeans,.... uh okay, i've got everything packed. can't wait for tomorrow!

- the next day

*alarm ringing*

you woke up and turned off your alarm. Ellie was still asleep, so you tried to wake her up.

"aye bro it's 5 A.M. wake up,"

nothing.

"yo wake up dude we're gonna be late for our flight,"

still snoring.

"ELLIE WAKE THE FUCK UP!"

she finally got up. "damn bro, i almost had a heart attack.."

"you know that you can just sleep again in the plane, right?"

yawning, she said "yea, but it won't be as comfy as sleeping on a bed.."

you shook your head. "classic Ellie."

you then grabbed a towel, and headed to the bathroom to shower.
