Leaving on a Jet Plane

Sirius stood in line, awaiting his turn at the check in desk with Liesel standing right in front of him. He'd never been on an aeroplane and was hoping that this would be an adventure of a lifetime...The airline clerk checked over their tickets and took and tagged their luggage, then weighed it.

They finally checked in their luggage and were instructed to advance to their gate; their flight was scheduled to depart in approximately an hour, but they had to have their traveling papers checked to make sure everything was in order for them to return. Liesel presented her papers first, her passport and visa handed over quickly...Sirius thought she looked bored. Sirius was excited to hand his over however. "Never been on an aeroplane before," he told the customs official. "We're on our honeymoon," he added happily and Liesel thought it sweet, the look on his face and the happiness he exuded.

The lady looked up and smiled. "Congratulations! Where will you be going?"

"Boston," he said.

"And then?"

"New York. I want to climb the Statue of Liberty! I heard it's really cool!"

The woman chuckled and nodded. "I wouldn't know, I usually fly into Philadelphia." She held out his passport and visa up toward him.

"Oh, well, we're going there as well," he said as he took his documents from her hand. "Cheers!"

"Enjoy your visit to the colonies," she said chuckling and Liesel rolled her eyes.

"I've a mind to hex her," she whispered as she grabbed Sirius' arm and turned away from the counter.

"What the hell are we supposed to do for an hour Bobbie," Sirius whined.

"Oh, talking to me now," Liesel replied as she continued on...Sirius stopped in his tracks and when she no longer heard the clip clop of his cowboy boots. At last, she stopped and turned around then looked into his eyes from about ten feet away; other passengers passing in-between them. He pulled her carry-on bag up higher on his shoulder and advanced toward her.

"I don't have to if you're not ready," he said, walking by her.

"Do you even know where you're going?"

"Not a clue," he yelled as he raised his free arm high in the air and waved his hand and she trotted behind him, trying to catch up to him...he wasn't making it easy for her on purpose. "Lots of places to shop, that's cool, I suppose...Ohh! A pub! I'll have to remember where that's at!"

Finally, she trotted past him a good ten feet and then slowed down and stopped abruptly, causing him to nearly plow her over as he was looking at everything except where he was going. He reached out on instinct and pulled her close to him and looked into her eyes.

"Done now, are you?"

"You stopped talking to me first," she said.

"Details..." He looked into her eyes. "What am I going to do with you, Misses Black?"

She arched her brow high and smirked as she turned on her heel and shimmied away, walking purposefully so that her hips swung hard. "It's gonna be a long flight," she said.

He grinned. "Gods, but how I love to watch you walk away," he said to himself. He trotted after her to catch up. "Hey! Wait for me!"

He took her hand in hers as they were nearing their gate finally. There weren't too many people in the waiting area and there was no one manning the desk. Liesel pulled him along to the seats by the window so that he would be able to see the planes better. It was dark out, but the tarmac was well lit.

"Is that our aeroplane," he asked.

She nodded. "I think so." She held onto his arm and lay her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, the elevator music lulling her to sleep..
