A Road Trip

by Thunder Light


Chapter 2

It’s been 10 minutes into the trip and already the three of you started to get more bored into the trip already. And none of you spoke since leaving the city as you were thinking of what to say while you're looking outside the window. It was also the same with Rainbow but she seems to be admiring the view.


“So are we there yet?” Rainbow asked.


“No” Applejack Replied.


“What can we do?” Rainbow Repond.


“I don’t know apart from me driving we could play I spy or tell stories or let's talk.” said Applejack.


“Let just catch up on some things” you respond.


“Well, I didn’t do much except working on the farm” Applejack said “Apple Bloom is doing great at school and Big Mac is pretty normal I guess but he seem to be excited for the upcoming ball game at High school.


“I didn’t do much” Rainbow respond.


“K then” you spoke.


Despite travelling always involved waiting and doing nothing much, you and your friends look outside and admire the views as farms and mountains goes by and lots of green grass that look amazing like they weren’t even affected by anything at all. Pretty much living in the countryside seems to be more peaceful and relaxing away from the busy streets of the hustle and bustle and the noise that can keep you up and awake. And no need to worry about the traffic as well, but at least you can get to places quicker rather than to wait. You always lived in the city for most of your time here but you have been to different places with your family, but what you haven’t been to is a rural town far away from any other major cities due to your parents' business works only involved in populated places and not in rural towns.


“So nice in the countryside isn’t it Tim, ” said Applejack.


“Yeah, it's so beautiful and amazing” you respond.


“Well, we'll gonna stop at a small town soon just for a break, plus you can stretch your legs after this long trip so far,” said Applejack.


“So how far now Applejack, cause I think we been going for ages now, I don’t wanna keep sitting here doing nothing,” said Rainbow.


“Well, why not talk to your crush behind you since this is your idea after all,” whispered Applejack.


Rainbow blushed at the answer, “Do I have to Applejack cause I don’t feel confident enough to…”


“He’s your friend and you don’t have to confess yet cause we got another few hours till our first stop plus another, so we got plenty of times,” Applejack respond.


“Ok, fine, I talk to Tim,” Rainbow starts to act a little nervous.


“So Tim, why you didn’t go with your parents because its sound fun though to go a trip somewhere?” Rainbow asked.


“Well the reason I didn’t go is that I’m not good with travelling on a plane since the last time I went,” you respond nervously since you didn’t want to talk about what happen on the plane.


“Come on please, pretty please I wanna hear it,” Rainbow asks nicely.


“Yeah, I wanna hear it too,” Applejack replied.


“OK, but please don’t tell anyone cause it's embarrassing,” you said.


“Don’t worry, we’re your friends remember so you can trust us,” Applejack replied.


“Well, it happen like this….”


You were on a plane to a tropical island for the very first time with your family, even though you were nervous because you are afraid of things to happen.


The plane was a B777 with classic interior and lights, but nice comfy blue seating since this airline just brought a new plane with new seats that can be leaned back and more leg room and easier to sleep in.


“Son you're ok?”


“Yes, Dad, I’m good, but why did we have to sit in economy not getting an upgrade?”


“We can’t sit together as a family and besides, how bad can it be right?”


The plane was being push-back as the safety briefing was under way with some odd thing that the flight attendant did, such as a guy dancing backward while showing how to put a seat belt on. You cringe since that is really what you didn’t expect to see everyday on a flight trip for a guy dancing awkwardly. But at least it gets people's attention to look at what he is showing.


“At least that's over,” you spoke to yourself.


The plane took off at a steady rate and after the seatbelt sign was off, food was given out to all the passengers early. But at the same time turbulence was occurring causing you to get a little airsick due to the motion of the plane keep going up and down like a minor earthquake on the ground. Luckily the flight attendants didn't have anything fall off the trolley and spill any drinks on the floor.


“Dad, can I drink some water,” you asked.


“Son, I don’t think it's a good idea, trust me it will only make it worse.”


That’s mean you had to try not to vomit for the next 6 hours on the flight, which was what you're not hoping for at a time like this, especially that you can't do much at all to deal with the air sickness. But then suddenly another turbulence but this time it was hard and unfortunately a barp bag was flying suddenly in the air from another seat and hit your father in the face from the front. Causing it to explode and all its content spread around everywhere on his face and the seats around him and also onto you as well.


“Sorry I couldn’t hold it much longer cause I need another one”
Your father looks at you in an annoyed and disgusted face. And due to this event, your family had to take a bath for a while to scrub off all its content of your face and you had to change your clothes. Lucky there’s was a shower on-board even though usually there’s not supposed to be one on a B777. At least your family gets the flight home for free as compensation for the accident.
It was gross to have the content stick to your face, but at least you're not in your father's position right now.
“Next time I might wanna change seats.”


Applejack and Rainbow look at you with a disgusted look on their face, but Applejack turns around to pay attention to the road.


Despite your story may could have gone worse if you did on the plane, which you glad you didn’t at least there’s no more of that to tell hopefully.


“That’s really not a good reason why not to go unless you're talking about…”


“No, it doesn’t matter,” Rainbow said.


“Anyway, how did you and Rainbow become friends?” Applejack said.


“Well its…” you said.


“No leave it another time” Rainbow interrupts.


“I tell you soon,” Rainbow whisper to Applejack.


“What’s with the whispering today?” you spoke


“It's nothing to worried about so don’t worry.” Applejack smiled


You start to see something suspicious about your best friends, they didn’t act like this usually when they are around you, but you still trust them and you decide to not worry about it for now since it's probably just something not important to you.


“Finally!” Rainbow shout.


Hopefully this road trip gets better than the holiday you took with your parents. But however you were kinda worried about that you're from the city and people might look at you differently but you shrug it off anyway. As long as nothing goes wrong, it's all smooth sailing from here.
