Sitting cross-legged on the floor near a window, a teenage girl leaned back against the legs of an older woman sitting in a chair. Both were reading, though Grace's sort of literature (Wuthering Heights) was considerably different than that of her aunt Ruth's (People). Setting down her magazine, Ruth stood up and stepped around the girl. "I'm going to get something to eat. Do you want anything?" she signed, her hands forming the signs quickly.
Grace smiled. "No thanks. I'm fine," she signed with one hand, picking up her Coke and taking a sip as if to reassure Ruth that she was fine. "I'll watch your stuff." When Ruth had gone, Grace clambered up into her vacated seat and settled in, observing the other people around her avidly.

Jinx sat down waiting for the Call, she was so tierd of waiting and just want to get on the plane and head home. Sipping her soda she decided she wanted a gift for her parents before she left.

My stomach was growling. I looked at my watch and noticed it was lunch time. Time to feed the beast, I thought, and I walked to the food court intent on doing just that.

HEIDI I was finally next in line and quickly hurried over as the woman called out 'Next'. She was quick and efficient and had a very friendly smile, which made me feel comfortable enough to make jokes about impatient people with short tempers. "Thanks," I said as she put my suitcase on the belt and handed my ticket back as she pointed out the direction I needed to head. My stomach growled. "Oh, that's attractive," I said with a laugh. "Should we get a bite to eat?" She laughed as well. "Sounds good. What, you're here for two weeks and you've already adapted to the Australian time zone?" she joked. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. On second thought, maybe that's not such good advice," I said, thinking of the specials I'd seen on the History Channel about exactly what it was the Romans liked to do back in the day. I gave a mock shiver. We began making our way to the food court area but stopped short as there was a check point and a big sign announcing that only passengers would be allowed beyond that point. "Geez, ever since 9/11, they've really tightened the security." I was sad, knowing that I'd have to say goodbye to my friend earlier than I'd thought. "I guess this is it then," I sad sadly. "It's your turn to come and visit me in California next and soon. Deal?" "Deal," she said with a smile. "Call me as soon as you get home." "I will." I put my carry-on back down and gave her a hug. "Thanks for everything." I placed my carry-on and purse as well as my flip flops on the belt that led into the x-ray machine, then walked barefoot through the metal detector. I loved being barefoot. Maybe I could just throw my flip flops into my carry-on. But a sign on the other end announced that shoes must be worn at all times. Damn. ***Heidi heads to the Syndey Airport - Food Court***

SAWYER
Sawyer stalked back to the wait area with his hands in his pockets. What I wouldn't give for a cigarette right now, he thought as he placed himself down in a chair. Since he couldn't get his nicotine rush, he crossed his arms over his chest and people watched. He saw several couples greeting and saying goodbye to each other. Lots of business people walked here and there, and a few pretty women caught his eye. Too bad he was leaving, otherwise he might've tried to chat up some of them.

Ashlee glared at the ceiling for a while, frustrated and bored. No way was she going to be travelling with Oceanic Flights again. The tall blonde man had the right idea, this was one of the crappest services she'd ever flown with, and that, was saying something. She was begining to get nervous, she always did before the flight. The hard plastic seat's weren't exactly doing anything to lighten her mood. She closed her eyes, and drifted into a light sleep, waking every so often from the yells of little children, angry passengers, and the uncomfortable sitting position she was in.

***MOLLY RETURNS*** She walked back to her chair, and sat back down cross legged, deciding that she'd remain here until the Flight Call came, which, hopefully, would be soon. Molly had aimlessly wandered around the airport, had a lengthy chat with a security guard, and had returned, still bored and nervous, to the waiting area.
She was still wondering what to put on the postcard. She hadn't seen them in six months, not since she'd walked out, so what was she going to put? She'd purchased another postcard, for Eileen, but still her mind was blank. 'Hi Eileen, how's the job going? Remember me, I'm the kid with all the ungrateful, selfish kid with all the attitude? The one you refused to give up on. Australia was good. Molly.' didn't exactly sound right.

~~Jinx returns from last minutes shop~
Now with all the things she needs, Jinx sits down. taking out her cell phone she knew she had to make one call before she boarded the plane. something she should have done a while ago in fact. "Hi mom, its me..." she smiled something she only usually did for fans or her family. "...Yea i'm in syndney now, did you see the show on TV?... i'm glad you like it, ,mom i love you guys so much."
She couldn't wait to see her mother and dad and get back to New York. she did have to change a few flights and all but she was heading home and that's all she cared about really. "Alright mom i'm going to go, catch a nap before we board, but when i get home i'm going to take you and dad to see something, something fancy...alright love you to, bye." she hung up the phone and smiled.
She rested her head back on the seat and sighed, normally she get that special VIP treatment, but right now she didn't care or want to be held up in a room. she would just be escorted through the plane to first class when it was time to board the plane.

Gwen continued to check in passengers, one after another. Futilely trying to keep track of names. Michael, Walt, Bernard, Rose, Jin, Sun. She was better with faces anyway. She did her best to make each of them feel welcome and at ease, hoping they weren't too frustrated by the wait in line.
"So who's at the helm today?" she asked of Stephen.
"You didn't know?" he smirked. "It's your favorite. I believe you christened him 'Pilot Huggy Bear' after one too many mudslides the last time we were in LA."
She gasped in mock horror. "That is not true! I've never been drunk on mudslides," she asserted. "And even if I were, I'm sure I would have come up with a more imaginative moniker." She let a sly grin creep across her face. "Too late to call dibs on cockpit service?"
"Yep. Cindy's got it."
"Oh, bollocks," she sighed dejectedly. She turned her attention back to the line. "Can I help the next person?"

***Enters from the Food Court***
I looked around at the waiting area and saw that there are a few empty seats left. I spotted a couple by a large window that gives a view of the airplanes and point out to Heidi, "There"re some seats. Want to sit there?"

"Sure," I said as I followed her over to the seats. I liked watching the planes take off and land. As we made our way to the seats, I mostly avoided eye contact but gave a small smile to anyone I happened to make eye contact with.
As I sat down, I looked around more and noticed several people standing. I guessed that they were probably frequent fliers and knew about when a plane boarded and it looked to be soon. Glancing at my watch, which had a hand-painted picture of Jasmine and Aladdin on a carpet ride on the face with black leather straps, I saw that it was almost 30 minutes until take-off.
"I think they're gonna call boarding soon, but they usually start with first class. I'm over in, um," I took out my ticket and glanced at it "Economy class, seat 23I. Where'd they put you?"

I sat down as well and said, "Um..let me look." I set my purse on my lap and sifted through it, finally finding my ticket. Looking at it, I read off the number. "18E. Looks like we won't be anywhere near each other."

"Aw," I said, and I meant it. But what were the chances that the one person I was kinda getting to know would be sitting next to me in one of the largest planes? "Well, let's just hope we don't end up sitting next to someone who's really annoying, falls asleep and drools on your shoulder, or has a kid who won't stop crying."

Jinx was bored, B-O-R-E-D. she should have known better than to come to the airport early, she looked at the watch and notice she had time to kill, a bunch of time. she wondered if her manager would mind if she had a drink? and just on cue her manager strolled up.
"Jinxie darling, where have you been i have been besides myself with worry." Jinx rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I've been right here Jordan, right here in this spot. You know for the last Hour!" she crossed her arms wondering where her manager had been all this time. "Where have you been?"
"o you know, manager stuff. More news for you, i booked you another tour. you start in three months..." Jinx's shook her head in disbelief, she would kill this little worm and now if there were not all these people staring. "What?" He asked.
"I will not, do another tour that soon. You nearly killed me with this one, next year Jordan..." The manager was about to Protest when his phone rang. "Jordan do you hear me, no tour or i will quit." Jordan hung up his phone and turned to jinx and sighed.
"Your worried, i understand that. But you can pull it off, people love you. They needed there Jinx fix, its not a big tour just a few big city's is all. New York is the first one, we'll invite your parents front row center. VIP a couple kids and you'll be golden... now that was the record company, i have to go..."
"Jordan, you promised you come meet the family."
"I know, but work comes first...." Jordan was gone and Jinx was pissed, she would wait until she could vent all her anger out. she couldn't do it in a public place where people would see her. That would ruin her. After Jordan left Jinx was upset, secretly Jinx had been going out with her Manager, they were going out before he was Jinx manager, the only one's that knew were her parents and that was it.
"I need a drink..." The Body guard smiled and escorted Jinx to the Bar.

Gwen pulled herself away from the computer, having cleared her half of the check-in line. "Right, time to corral the herd," she muttered to Stephen, lightly tapping his shoulder as she walked by to the attendant's station beside the Gate 23 door, picking up the intercom.
"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Oceanic Flight 815, direct service from Sydney to Los Angeles. We hope that you'll have a pleasant flight and we'd like to thank you for your patience this afternoon. At this time, we'll begin boarding passengers with special assistance needs as well as any children traveling unaccompanied by an adult."
She replaced the intercom in its holder and stood ready to tear off boarding passes.

Ashlee quickly moved towards her, as did many others, and lined up slightly impatiently. She caught sight of the blonde haired girl again argueing with someone who had pushed infront of her. She smirked, and watched as the flight attendant's plastered on smile wavered slightly.

Gwen sighed slightly as everyone seemed in a rush to get to their feet and board the plane. She had to follow the rules, though; they'd just have to wait their turn.
She retrieved the intercom again. "Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we'll begin boarding first class passengers. Thank you."

With a smiled Jinx decided it would be best to be escorted, she on her way to Gate 23 she was almost attacked by a group of Girls who wanted to be just like her. She had a couple of the security staff lead her to the gate. "Thanks boys, it was getting crazy out there." she smiled.
"LOOK ITS JINX!!" Jinx sighed and shook her head, wishing this madness would stop. "Jinx over here!" Jinx sighed and posed for a few pictures. but she had to go, she had to get on the plane and Drink. "Sorry guys i have to go, but I’ll be starting another tour up in the states.." she winked and blew a kiss, before she sighed and moved to the lady ripping the Tickets.
