HIGHWAY

Aidel, Amelia, and David hopped into a cab, ready for their ride. Amelia couldn't contain her excitement, her eyes practically sparkling as she gazed out at the bustling highway leading to the airport. Meanwhile, Aidel plopped his head against the window, his hair swaying in the night breeze, looking like a rockstar ready for a concert. And David, well, he leaned back and casually peered out of the window, looking like the one who booked the tickets.

AIRPORT
20:50 PM

Once they arrived at the airport, Amelia's smile grew wider, practically lighting up the whole place. She couldn't help but let out a few claps of excitement. "This ish so pretty"

Aidel, on the other hand, took a long, exhausted sigh. He wanted to ask where they were headed, but he was so drained that forming words seemed like an Olympic feat at that moment.

David and Aidel took charge of the luggage like a well-oiled tag team, breezing through the checking process quicker than a celebrity at a red carpet-event. With their duties done, they decided to hang out by the female section, patiently waiting for Amelia to join them. Little did they know, they were about to witness an unexpected comedy show.

Instead of Amelia gracefully strolling out, her giggles echoed through the air, piquing everyone's curiosity. David's eyebrows furrowed in confusion while Aidel sported a puzzled expression. Finally, Amelia emerged, cheeks flushed and a mischievous grin plastered across her face.

"I swear, it was like a tickle wrestling match in there! That lady checked me from head to toe, I couldn't help but burst into laughter!" She exclaimed between chuckles.

David simply shook his head, clearly questioning the sanity of Amelia's these days, he swiftly took hold of her wrist. With an amused sigh, he guided her towards the gate where they were supposed to wait for their flight, silently hoping for a less ticklish adventure ahead.

After what felt like an eternity, the announcement finally came. Passengers were instructed to hop in line, as their plane had finally graced them with its presence. Naturally, Amelia sprang up like a jack-in-the-box, her exclamations of "Flight! Flight! Flight!" filling the air. Aidel and David, feeling the contagious excitement rose from their seats and joined the line.

As they entered the aircraft, Amelia scoped out the scene and noticed that the plane had achieved an impressive state of balance - not too crowded, yet not too empty. It was like the Goldilocks of aeroplanes.

With a quick scan of the seats, David found their designated spot. "This one is ours," he muttered, comparing the seat number with his ticket.

But before they could settle in, Amelia turned on her most potent weapon: the puppy face. "Daddy pwease, I want da window seat," she pleaded.

Unable to resist such a charming request, Aidel replied in a hushed tone, "Sure, cupcake." He mustered a small smile, secretly happy to have made her day.

Overjoyed, Amelia plopped down into her chosen window seat with lightning speed. Aidel settled for the middle seat, leaving David with the remaining option.

Amelia's heart raced with excitement as she peered out of the window, her smile illuminating the cabin. The anticipation of takeoff and the boundless sky ahead filled her with indescribable joy. But amidst her bliss, Aidel's proximity added an electric ripple to the air. His head, slightly leaning in front of her view, held an intriguing allure. As Amelia's eyes met his, she couldn't help but feel a magnetic pull between them.
