A smile spread across his face as he saw Kat coming toward him. â€œDonâ€™t worry about it, I have a spot already on the shuttle for us the guy flying it is a friend of mine.â€ He said shrugging not quite sure why he felt that necessary to say but, there it was. â€œI think I might do with siblings if that is more comfortable for you.â€ The smile widened when he heard the loud speaker announce shuttle number three boarding. â€œShall we?â€ he offered to let her go first and followed after.<br/><br/>The place was pretty nice looking, it had cautioned seats with service provided for food, beverage, whatever the customer wanted. There were no windows accept for one the driver had to see through. Apart from there being a few reading materials the other form of entertainment was talking to those around.<br/><br/>Eric took a seat next to Kat in the first class because he had talked to his buddy before Kat got there and his buddy said that it would be alright if they took a first class seat. There were only a few anyway and Eric had said that he was taking his sister on a special trip for her birthday. The rest of the passengers took their seats as the loudspeaker suddenly came on and a nice womanâ€™s voice was telling them all what they needed to do. â€œLadies a Gentleman I would ask that you all take your seats and buckle in we will begin our journey into space. If everyone could please keep their children seated during the flight it would be much appreciated.â€<br/><br/>There was a pause as a manâ€™s voice, Ericâ€™s friend, took over. â€œWe will begin our flight soon, the exits are in the far back, the middle, and up front by the stewardesses station. Please have a wonderful flight and Iâ€™ll be talking to you again after we reach Blandar.â€ The loudspeaker went quiet and Eric took a deep breath as he felt the ship begin to rise. â€œIâ€™m not much of a flier.â€ He told Kat giving her a small smile to reassure her that he wouldnâ€™t get sick on her.<br/><br/>The buzz of the loudspeaker echoed in the cabin for a few minutes, everyone cringing at the sound. â€œWish theyâ€™d fix that, since as long as I could remember they had that problem.â€ He said nodding to the cockpit. Even the pilots wish the mechanics would fix it, they even asked me once but their commanding officer didnâ€™t think that proper.â€ He paused and then said, â€œshe didnâ€™t really like me much.â€<br/><br/>The rest of the flight was quite as Eric took a nap and the rest of the passengers did whatever they pleased. The sound of the loudspeaker rang nine hours later telling them they had reached Blandar on time though there was a storm brewing on the surface and that everyone would have to evacuate to a safe zone after they get off the ship. Eric woke from his nap to see that almost everyone had almost left and the captain of the ship staring down at him.<br/><br/>â€œYou gonna sleep there all day?â€ The man asked a great big grin spreading across his face. â€œMack?â€ Eric asked drowsily.<br/><br/>â€œWho else would it be you old slack jawed idiot!â€<br/><br/>â€œMack!â€ Eric said standing up giving his old buddy a hug. â€œI want to introduce you to the sister I was talking about. I figured she would enjoy a little time off and maybe get some fresh air.â€<br/><br/>Mack nodded his agreement and said, â€œWell hopefully this storm will pass and you will be able to have fun soon.â€  He looked around and said, â€œYou two had better get going, the storm is getting worse and we want everyone somewhere safe before we leave.â€<br/><br/>Eric beamed at his friend and said, â€œDonâ€™t worry about us, weâ€™ll do as weâ€™re told.â€
