♢ Post with your character. Your character is now on a flight! Is it their first time flying, or are they veteran fliers? Is your trip going to last only an hour or two, or are you here for the next sixteen hours? Are you flying coach, business class or first class? Or maybe you're on some other mode of travel entirely: private jets, airships, space shuttles, hot air balloons, helicopters... anything that might suit your fancy!

♢ Other people tag in. Maybe you just met them because of random seat assignments and you figure it can't hurt to say hello. Or perhaps you and a friend are traveling together; dibs on the window seat! Did the cute girl right across the aisle catch your eye? Is the person sitting in the row behind yours digging their knees into your chair? Are you guys finding that the in-flight movie isn't half bad, or maybe you've seen it a hundred times? Maybe you hate flying, and you have to give your seatmate a heads up. Don't panic at the turbulence, and hopefully you get to your airsick bag in time.

♢ Or maybe you're working on the plane as co-pilots, or perhaps as fellow stewardesses. Maybe you're crewing on the same ship and the other guy's a newbie! All the same, flying may be routine for you by now, but sometimes you run into a special case now and then. And remember to be patient with the passengers!

♢ Obligatory smut option. Depending on what class you're flying and how many other people are in the plane with you, you've got to be very discreet and very creative. (But remember that that isn't what the aircraft's bathroom is for! Try not to get the staff mad at you, okay?)

♢ Come up with your own custom scenario! Whatever you decide, you're stuck with each other for the next few hours until the plane lands. Thank you for flying with us, and remember to wake your seatmate up if they ended up taking a nap on you halfway through the flight before you go!

Six cracked a small smile. "I can assure you, I would never vacation in Boston." Maybe if he had kids he would bring them there, but it wasn't somewhere he went for the nightlife.

"For a free vacation, it's not that bad," she joked. "We'll get a nice hotel with decent room service and live it up for a day."

Six continued to smile at her. "I suppose. And I...for once, I doubt anything bad will happen at this gala."

He was oddly calm about this, but he had every reason to be. With the Nanites mostly taken care of, it was basically just a gala to update everyone on what was happening. Holiday had to speak for part of it, and they'd asked for Rex and Caesar to be there, but White declined on that offer - knowing that neither would act appropriately.

About to speak again, the stewardness came by. "Any drinks for you two?"

Six looked over at her and then back to Holiday. "Want something?"

"Good," she replied to him, happy that he was at least relaxed about it.

And then the stewardess showed up and she was like a deer in headlights. Did she want something? "Yes." What did she want? Uhhhh. "Wine?" Yeah, that sounded good.

~~Do planes even do that? Idk.~~

Six nodded at the stewardess. "Two glasses."

Yeah, Holiday, he was having some. This was going to be a crazy trip. But Six wanted to relax.

She gave him a bright smile at that. Once the woman left them, she raised an eyebrow. "You actually want a drink? You really are taking my vacation advice."

Six smirked at her as the stewardess poured them their drinks ~~because he totally asked for the exact type of wine they wanted and all the other things legal adults do~~. "Trying my best."

The stewardess put down their drinks and moved on to the next seats.

Holiday went ahead and took a sip of hers with a big smile. "You'll enjoy the trip. Trust me."

Six raised an eyebrow and took a sip of his own glass.

"You sound confident. How often are you on flights like these?" As far as he knew, she was usually on private jets catered by Providence.

... "Not that often, but I do have confidence."

Sort of. She did before he said that.

Six sipped some more wine. It'd been a long time since he last drank - he missed the taste, to be honest.

"I'll take your word for it, then."

"Good," she smiled back again, sipping at her own wine. She didn't drink often either, so it burned at the first taste. She'd have to take it slow.

They then fell into what Six considered a companionable silence as the plane continued to soar for a good hour or two.

The in-flight movie was about to start and Six wasn't interested in whatever 'Twilight' was - sounded like a teen movie.

Holiday was definitely not interested in Twilight, so she looked over to Six. "Any plans for your vacation?" Any sort of talk would be much better than that movie.

Six shrugged. "Just going to follow you around, probably."

Maybe it was the wine, but nothing about that sentence sounded weird to him.

Holiday giggled. "That sounds great with me. We can go out, eat somewhere nice. It'll be fun." That was definitely the wine talking.

Six smiled and leaned on his arm, his face a little closer to hers. Didn't want the whole plane listening in on their conversation.

"That actually sounds pretty good. We could go somewhere fancy. Formal." Maybe an excuse to see her in a nice dress again. "I'll pay."

"Only if you want to pay." Not that she minded. Honestly, she liked the idea of going somewhere nice like that. Getting to dress up for something fun for a change. "I love it."

Six continued to smile at her. "I do."

And he really did want to pay. Not so that she would owe him or anything, just because...he wanted to pay for her.

Holiday giggled and took a bigger sip of her drink. It just kept tasting better and better and, no, she was not getting drunk on a plane. "I'll look forward to it."

Six took maybe one more sip, but he could chalk that up to how anxious public planes made him. Not that Holiday needed to know that.

He continued to smile at her and didn't move his head back, finding the view of her next to the airplane window to be surprisingly comforting.

She watched him watching her for a little while until she finally laughed. "What?"

"Just enjoying the view," he said with a smirk he hadn't used in years.

Maybe he should put the wine down.

Maybe they both should at this point. Wow. That line made her giggle and she shoved against his arm like he was kidding.

Because he was definitely just joking with her, despite how little Six ever joked.

Six smiled at her giggles and rubbed at his arm, moving back to his regular spot in his seat.

He picked up the rest of his wine and quickly gulped it down - don't wanna waste good wine, after all.
