Travels With Us

Day One

 

***O’Hare International Airport***

 

[Romano] I can’t believe the hospital is paying for this!

 

[Kerry] Me either! Aren’t we lucky!

 

[Romano] Yeah, really.

 

[Dave] What exactly are we doing again?

 

[Deb] We’re going to Disneyland. Gee, why do you think we’re in an airport?

 

[Dave] Maybe we are picking someone up.

 

[Deb] You are H-O-P-E-L-E-S-S hopeless!

 

[Dave] Thanks!

 

[Kerry] Here are the tickets. We’re about to board.

 

[Romano] Woo Hoo.

 

[Dave] I want a window!

 

[Deb] Why are you being so childish all the sudden?

 

[Abby] What do you mean? He’s always childish.

 

[Luka] Do Dave and Deb always bicker like this?

 

[Kerry] Yup, pretty much so.

 

[Luka] I sense this is going to be a long trip.

 

[John] I think I’ll go home now...

 

[Kerry] Sorry, we paid for this ticket, you’re going. Now, everyone better get on this plane before I whack you all with my cane!

 

[Cleo] Fine. Fine! Come on Peter.

 

[Deb] Lead on O gracious leader!

 

***On The Plane***

 

[Dave] I still want a window!

 

[John] Fine! Just don’t tell us again!

 

[Elizabeth] I’m next to Mark.

 

[Deb] Surprise, surprise.

 

[Cleo] You’re starting to sound like me.

 

[Romano] Or, even scarier, me!

 

[Deb] So?

 

[Cleo] So quit it!

 

[Deb] I’ll try.

 

[Abby] I’ll sit by Luka.

 

[Luka] Uh, actually, I’m sitting in the exit row, and I need to be by myself...

 

[Abby] What. Don’t you like me anymore?

 

[Luka] Errr...I take the fifth!

   

[Abby] Fifth what?

 

[Luka] Amendment.

 

[Abby] Who do you know about the Bill of Rights?

 

[Luka] I’m getting naturalized.

 

[Abby] Oh. Well, I’ll sit by John then.

 

[John] Oh, so you’re kissing up to me now that you lost your boyfriend. Well, it isn’t going to work.

 

[Abby] Darn.

 

[Romano] Will you people just sit down so the plane can take off?!?!

 

[John] Uh, okay.

 

[Elizabeth] Do we get a movie?

 

[Dave] How about food?

 

[Cleo] You know, he is really getting on my nerves.

 

[Peter] Do you realize I haven’t had any lines in this fic yet?

 

[Cori] Don’t worry. You’ll get lines.

 

[Peter] Who are you?

 

[Cori] I’m Cori.

 

[Peter] Who?

 

[Cori] You know, Cori. The author of this fic.

 

[Peter] But this fic is about the ER characters. You’re not supposed to be here.

 

[Cori] Well, if you wouldn’t ask me questions, then I wouldn’t be here.

 

[Peter] I was talking to Cleo.

 

[Cori] No, you were talking to me. That’s how I wrote it.

 

[Peter] Agh! I don’t know what I’m saying any more! Just go away.

 

[Cori] Fine. Bye.

 

[Peter] And don’t come back!

 

[Cori’s voice] Then don’t give me a reason!

 

[Peter] Bah Humbug!

 

[Cleo] You realize it’s only October don’t you.

 

[Peter] So what. I’m in a scroogie mood. So sue me!

 

[Mark] Good grief!

  

[Peter] Hey, you haven’t had any lin-

 

[Cleo] (putting a hand over Peter’s mouth) You don’t want her to come back do you?

 

[Peter] Right. I forgot. Sorry.

 

[Deb] Yay! The plane is taking off now!

 

[Elizabeth] Yay! We have a movie! Earphones please!

 

[Dave] I’m still hungry.

 

[Mark] Good Grief!

 

[Elizabeth] Is that all you say?

 

[Mark] Right now? Yeah.

 

[Captain] This is the captain speaking. We’re going to take off now.

 

[Romano] Finally.

 

[John] I’ll take some earphones too!

 

[Luka] I’m sleepy.

 

[Deb] It’s only nine fifteen in the morning.

 

[Luka] So? Zzzzzz...

 

[Deb] There’s one down.

 

[Elizabeth] Yay! The movie is Anastasia!

 

[Cleo] What kind of movie is that? They’re supposed to show something like Airplane!

 

[Kerry] Heavens, no!

 

[Cleo] What’s wrong with that?

 

[Kerry] It will make me worry the plane will crash!

 

[Dave] What! The plane is crashing?

 

[Deb] No dummy, we’re still on the runway!

 

[John] This is going to be one looooooong trip! Did I already say that?

 

[Peter] Probably.

 

[Luka] I’m up! Did I miss anything?

 

[Abby] No.

 

[Dave] How many miles to Salt Lake City?

 

[John] Got me. All I know is it’s about two hours from Chicago.

 

[Kerry] God! This dumb plane finally takes off!

 

[Dave] Are we there yet?

 

***In Orange County***

 

[Kerry] what happened to Salt Lake City?

 

[John] I don’t know. Maybe we missed it.

 

[Luka] We need to go grab our bags.

 

[Deb] Yeah.

 

[Dave] There’s mine!

 

[Deb] Do you always pack so heavily? I mean, I thought that was a female trait.

 

[Dave] I guess I never thought about it.

 

[Luka] What exactly do you have in there?

 

[Dave] Food!

 

[Cleo] Doesn’t he look very proud of himself?

 

[Peter] Doesn’t he always?

 

[Kerry] There’s my bag!

 

[John] And mine.

 

[Abby] So do we all have our luggage?

 

[Everyone Else] Yup.

 

[Kerry] Let’s go!

 

[Romano] I forgot to ask you. Are you in charge of this?

 

[Kerry] More or less.

 

[Romano] Cool.

 

[Peter] Did you just say cool?

 

[Romano] Yes.

 

[Peter] Weird.

 

[Kerry] To the hotel!

 

***At The Santa Anna Comfort Inn***

 

[Abby] So what’s the game plan?

 

[Kerry] Here are your hotel assignments.

 

[Abby] I’m with...Cleo?

 

[Cleo] Damn.

 

[John] I’m with Luka! Good. I didn’t get with Dave

 

[Dave] Hey!

 

[Deb] I’m with Kerry.

 

[Mark] Lizzy, it’s you and me!

 

[Romano] Surprise, surprise.

 

[John] You know, a ton of people have said that during this trip.

 

[Abby] What?

 

[John] Surprise, surprise.

 

[Abby] Oh. Only two people. Three if you count you.

 

[John] I guess so.

 

[Romano] I’m with Peter!?!?!

 

[Peter] I smell a rat!

 

[Kerry] Good night everyone!

 

[Dave] What about me!

 

[Kerry] You’re alone.

 

[Dave] Whoopee!

 

[Deb] Whoopee? Oh God.

 

[Kerry] By the way, these are your roommates for the rest of the trip.

 

[Romano] Hell on earth.

 

[Peter] Hey, I’m not too happy about sharing a room with you either, but I’m not complaining – yet.

 

[Kerry] Everyone get to bed we have to get started early tomorrow. Remember, meet here at eight.

 

[Dave] Yes master.
