A few weeks later
> You and little sit on one of the many benches by your gate, with you reading a book you recently aquired and Lilly watching the airplanes taxi or take-off.
>"I'm quite excited anon, it's my first time flying"
>you smile at Lilly as she continues watching the flow of airplane traffic, completely transfixed at the oiled machine that gets airplanes on the ground and then airborne again
>Even if you're happy that she's flying with you holy hell your wallet is not happy what so ever
>Because the amount of giests have skyrocketed in recent years the TSA said you could bring them on board planes but must be in human form the whole time plus a pat down of the owner for ammunition
>plus plane tickets for a giest are really goddamn expensive
>thank you promotion
>A few minutes later the intercom sparks to life, stating boarding is about to begin
>You get your stuff in order and tell Lilly to do the same
>After all the passengers with small kids, first class and whatnot, you get in line to board
>Thankfully the airline for general boarding seats rows 20-35 first, with your row being 24
>Once boarded you help Lilly stow the bag she didn't need in the overhead storage before both taking your seats
>Lilly looks down at her ticket then at the seat placard then bursts into a massive smile
>"I have the window seat! Did you do this on purpose anon?"
"Well...maaaaybe?" you say shrugging your shoulders
>Lilly lets out a small giggle
>"Anon you're way too kind"
>Both of you take your seats and get buckled and before you know it Lillies face is plastered against the window
>After a what seems like forever for people to board, they begin the safety breifing
>You continue reading, half listening before you feel Lilly tapping on your shoulder
"What is it?"
>"Anon, pay attention to the safety brief, this information is important" she whispers to you
"Lilly I've flown many times with these people, I know what to do"
>"Okay, if you say so"
>During the breif you could feel the plane taxiing, now the planes stopped after making a turn
>Suddenly the plane accelerates, Lilly grabs your hand and harshly whispers to you
>"Anon what's going on, why are we going so fast?"
"Why we're taking off" you reply as you feel the plane lift into the air
>You point out the window and Lilly turns her head
>She lets out a small gasp before pressing her face against the window looking out in excitement
>"W-we're flying, we're actually flying"
"Yup, We'll be in the air for roughly four hours"
>The droning of the engines causes Lilly to fall asleep about an hour in
>With Lilly leaning her head against your shoulder you continue reading your book
>Slowly the droning also makes it's way to you, as it becomes a fighting battle to stay awake
>You then slip into slumber, leaning your head against Lillys resting head
>You are awakened by the voice of the pilot declaring the preparations for landing
>You blink a few times then look towards Lilly, who's still leaning against you, and has somepoint along the way wrapped her arms around your right one
>You gently shake her a little bit which causes her to grunt and wake up
"We're almost about to land, you gotta wake up" you say to her quietly
>She groans again before her eyes flutter open and look around the cabin
>After a few minutes of descending you feel the plane wheels make contact with the ground and quickly decelerate
>After a very slow process of getting off the plane due to people ahead of you, you finally get off with everything you and Lilly brought on board
>As you make your way to the baggage claim you hear a mans voice off to the left of you
>"ANON! OVER HERE!" the voice yells
>You swivel your head and see your father by a bench
>You quickly walk up to him and give him a massive hug
"It's great to see you dad, how have you been?"
>"It's great to see you to son, and things have been quiet so I've been okay, the dogs are going to flip when they see you"
>You dad looks over at Lilly and smiles
>"And you must be the girl who fell head over heels for my son?" he says in a quizicle tone
>Lilly visibly blushes and stumbles to find the right words
>Your dad lets out a laugh
>"I was only joking with you, I'm anons father" he says and gives a small nod of his head
>"Well it's great to meet you sir" Lilly says and responds to the nod with a curtsy
>"ooooo a proper one, you know what they say about those types eh anon?" your dad whispers into your ear and gives your side a nudge with his elbow
"Dad!"
>"What? A father who hasn't seen his son in two years can't poke fun at him? What has this world come to?" Your father exclaims
>This causes both of you to burst out laughing and embrace each other again
>"Welcome home son"
