"No thanks," Elizabeth replied politely. The sturdiest proceeded towards the next group of people. "Coffee anyone?" Elizabeth heard her ask again.

"I think I'm starting to get a headache," Amy complained beside her. It was not long ago that Amy got over her fear of flying.

"Don't worry. I'm sure half of the people on this plane are having one to. It's probably because of the change in air pressure," Elizabeth told her friend.

"Yeah. I used to have those and I hated them," Maria put in, who sat beside Amy.

"Are we landing anytime soon?"Amy asked hopefully.

Elizabeth laughed. "We've only been on the plane for fifteen minutes. We won't be landing for another four hours!"

"Four hours!" Amy exclaimed, obviously hearing this for the first time. "What are we suppose to do in the mean time?"

"Don't worry," Maria ensured her. "They will be playing a movie soon and will probably serve us breakfast."

"Didn't you bring anything to read?" Elizabeth asked.

"No!" Amy groaned, lying back into her seat. "I forgot!"

"Don't worry, I brought more than one. You can borrow one of mine," Elizabeth told her.

"Thanks," Amy said gratefully.

"Time past by more quickly than you think. Before you know it, well be landing," Maria said with a smile.

"I sure hope you're right," said Amy.

"Do they serve seconds?" Ellen asked.

"I don't think so," Jessica said slowly, who sat beside her.

"Why would you want seconds?" Lila asked, not believing what she was hearing. "The food taste like cardboard here."

"They're not that bad," Mandy said to her from across the aisle.

"Besides," Ellen said. "I don't care if they serve us frog legs! I'm hungry and I want food now!"

Heads turned to face Ellen and her friends.

"Excuse her," Jessica apologized. "She's not feeling well." Everyone turned back to what hey were doing. Jessica hear a few "weird" and "teenagers" and she even heard a "needs help" from somebody.

"Ellen!" Lila hissed. "Try to keep your voice down!"

"I can't help it!" Ellen protested. "I'm still hungry!"

"You eat too much," Lila said, shaking her head in disapproval. Just then, she heard a flight attendance voice over the P.A.

"Good morning everyone! We hope you are enjoying you flight so far," the voice said.

"Not me," Ellen grumbled.

"We will now be selling headphones for five dollars. You can use these to listen to the movie we will be showing shortly. Today's movie is entitled ‘The Borrowers'. Thanks for your attention and enjoy the rest of your flight."

"Five dollars!" Jessica exclaimed disbelieved. "We have to pay for the head phones? Didn't we already have to pay enough for this flight?"

"Stop complaining," Lila said with a wave of her hand. "It is only five dollars."

"Some of us aren't loaded like you are," Jessica retorted.

"Shhh!" Lila said instantly. "I don't want total strangers knowing I'm rich. You don't know if anyone here is some kind of psycho after me."

"Please," Jessica said rolling her eyes. "What are the chances of that."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about, chances. Don't you listen to the news? These days, planes get hijacked all the time."

"They do?" asked Ellen, eyes wide.

"Don't worry," Mandy said. "I'm pretty sure, we're not going to get hijacked."

"Mandy's right. Lila, you're just letting your imagination run off with you. Ellen, don't listen her," Jessica said, turning to her friend.

"Hijackers are not the least of your concerns though," Lila said seriously.

"What do you mean?" Ellen asked fearfully.

"Well, don't forget about turbulence, storms, engine malfunctions, navagation problems and a whole lot more," Lila told her friends. Lila looked around her. Mandy's face was pale. Even Jessica seemed to be a little nervous. And Ellen looked as if she was going to cry.

Jessica was the first to get a hold of herself. "Sure, Lila." She said, "whatever."

"But I'm too young to die!" Ellen suddenly exclaimed.

"Don't worry. Nothings going to happen," Jessica said. Nothings going to happen to us. Lila's just playing with our heads, right?

Jessica smiled happily. She was so happy about finally reaching Mexico and being able to land. She was starting to get really board on the plane. And maybe, she was just a little relieved too that nothing happened to them, as Lila predicted. She turned towards her best friend.

"I told you we would not get into some accident or whatever," she said with satisfaction. "I was not worried. I knew that you were just joking. I didn't fall for your trick, not even for one second."

"Really?" Lila questioned. "Then why were you so jumpy the whole time, and requested to switch seats with Ellen so that you will be able to look out the window and be on the look out for a storm."

"I was not!" Jessica insisted. "I just wanted to look out the window and look at the beautiful scenery."

"Jessica," Lila said a matter of factly. "We're 2800 feet off the ground. All you are able to see are clouds. What kind of beautiful scenery are you talking about?"

Jessica was not going to admit to defeat. "What I meant was that I wanted to see if I could. . . um, see Mars from here."

"Right," Lila responded, rolling her eyes.

"Anyway," Jessica said narrowing her eyes. "Since when are you such an expert on flying?"

"Trust me," Lila said with a wave of her hand. "If you've been traveling as much as I have, you manage to pick up a few things."

"Right," Jessica said, being the one to roll her eyes this time. She hated it when Lila bragged about how much she got to travel.

"Hey Jess," Elizabeth said from the row in front of her. "Are you excited about being able land. I know how jumpy you were for the past couple of hours."

"I was not jumpy!" Jessica insisted to her sister.

"Um, okay," said Elizabeth, turning around in her seat.

I was not jumpy, Jessica said to herself. She was just really glad that they were landing, that's all.
