| Andie excitedly got off the plane. She was completely exhausted by the long flight, but the hot breeze that hit her face made her feel all the much better. She had taken 4 connections to finally get to the tiny airport, near where Pacey had docked the boat. Australia had looked so immense from the plane, miles and miles of nothing, that when they started to descend she was frightened they were going to be stuck in the middle of the bush. She heaved her bag over her shoulder and made it down the long steps leading from the plane. There was no terminal here, just a small out building with �Airport� painted on a board. She looked around the group of people waiting for their loved ones and tried to spot Pacey�s grin. She couldn�t see him and panic struck her. Suddenly she heard his voice. �MacPhee!� She looked around and saw him, running from the building towards her. He was still dressing like he was in high school, Hawaiian shirt and board shorts. He hair had grown shaggy and wavy, bleached blonde in the sun. He almost looked the same as the day they had met. She grinned wildly when she saw him. �I have to say Witter, it�s nice to see you made an effort. I travel halfway around the world and you look like you�ve crawled out of bed,� Andie playfully shouted as he started to approach. He swooped her up in his arms and swung her around. �Well, you know, I don�t want to make it look like I�m too eager,� he said, placing on the ground and hugging her tightly. �How�s the flight?� �Okay actually. Apart from the food, the service, the waiting, the flying, the turbulence, the...� �God I forgot how you like to talk MacPhee,� Pacey interrupting her. He picked up her bag and the luggage that the flight crew had unloaded from the small plane. �Shall we go madam?� �That would be great, I need to get this holiday started!� Andie looked over a Pacey as he led her to the car he had rented for the day. This was going to be a fun trip. |
