" We would like to welcome you to flight 106 to New Evan's Island resort. Please fasten your seat belts now, as we will be taking off shortly." came a voice over the airplane's intercom.
Alli's trip for the gang seemed to going smoothly so far. They had gotten everyone onto the shuttle bus to the airport without incident, and they'd gotten there a full ten minutes ahead of schedule. The plane had been ready to go five minutes early and they had no problems getting to their seats. Life was good.
"I don't like this. " said a skeptic Stealth. "We got here too easily. Ares didn't try to roast anybody on the way over or once we got onto the plane. That in itself guarantees troubled waters ahead."
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about Ares, guys." Silia said, relaxing as much as was possible in a airplane chair in coach. " I told him that I'd give him half of his full power back if he promised to be good on this trip."
"You WHAT?" came Buffy's voice from somewhere ahead of Silia. "Tell me you gave him at least some limits to how he can use those powers."
Alli giggled and yelled out "He can't do anything with his powers unless Sil says it's okay!"
"Oh, I like that!" said Xander with a smirk. "A neutered god! It's classic!"
A woman came out from behind the curtain separating them from first class. "Hi!" she said. "My name is Kelly, and I'm your flight attendant for this journey to Evan's Island, the best resort known to man!"
"Oh great," Ares said sarcastically, as Kelly was explaining to them that their seats could double as floatation devices. "We get little miss head cheerleader to tell us what to do in case of emergency." He looked to His left, where Silia was sitting. "Can I roast her, Sil?" When Silia merely shook her head, he added, " At least let me give her a hotfoot!"
"Maybe later," Silia mumbled, not even bothering to look up from the book that she was reading, 'advanced spell casting for dummies'.
"Not a good sign..." came Stealth's voice from behind them. He was playing with his light saber, twirling it around in his hand. * good thing Alli put a safety on this thing * he thought as he kept twirling it nervously.
"What is your problem?" Alli asked from beside him. " You've been twitching since we got off the shuttle bus. I thought you weren't afraid to fly."
Stealth turned to Alli and stopped twirling the 'saber. "In my mecha, yes." he said, clutching onto the sides of their seats as they took off. "On this thing, no way!" He looked out of the window, saw the scenery rushing by, then quickly pulled the window's shade down.
"What's the difference?" Alli asked him.
"Control." Stealth stated. "I control my mecha. The pilot controls the plane." starting to twirl the light saber again, he went on. "I trust me. I've learned not to trust airline pilots. I've seen too many 'sixty minutes' reports."
"Pilots?" Alli beamed. "As in human males? Ones that don't know me that well?"
Before Stealth could reply, Alli rushed past Kelly and first class, heading straight for the cockpit to flirt with the pilots.

After the fasten seat belts sign turned off, a familiar head poked out of first class. "Is there a Buffy Summers here?" he asked.
"I'm right here." Buffy said with an embarrassed blush.
"I'm a big fan of your show." said their mystery guest. "My name is Leonardo Decap..." he began, before Stealth's light saber flew out of his hands and sliced Leo's head off.
"Leonardo Decapitated!" shouted Ares, breaking into a fit of hysterical laughter.
All eyes turned to Silia. "What?" she said. "I hated The Beach." This was followed by a small amount of silence. All of a sudden, they could hear clapping and laughing coming from first class.
"Yeah!" came a man's voice. "I've wanted someone to make that joke for months!"
**************************************************************************
Alli's voice came over the intercom, "Attention K-Mart shoppers! There is a blue light special on pilots in the cockpit!" she giggled. "Two for the price of one!"
This woke everyone up from a small nap they'd been taking. Xander had been leaning on Buffy's shoulder, and the drool mark was very obvious against her white top.
"Ew, Gross!" Buffy said, heading to the bathroom to wash it off.
Xander went to follow her and offer an apology. Before he got halfway to the bathroom, he bumped into Kelly. "Umph! Sorry about that!" he said, brushing himself off.
"That's okay," Kelly giggled. "That's the closest I've gotten to being felt up in weeks!"
"Really? That's a shame." Xander said with a smirk, turning on the ' Xander Charm'. Strangely enough, it worked and the two of them went into some empty seats for a flirt fest.
"Ahem!" came Buffy's voice from the isle. "Can we talk, Xander?" she said, pointing to the now empty bathroom.
"Sure, why not" Xander said. "It's not like I was doing anything important." Getting up. he bowed and said, "See you later, Kell..." he started, before getting dragged down the isle by Buffy.
"C'mon, lover boy." She said, pushing him into the bathroom.
"So, uh," Xander stuttered out when Buffy closed and locked the bathroom door. "What do you er.. want to talk to me about?"
"Well," she said, striking a very provocative pose. "I've never done it on a plane before," she said, "and I've always wondered what all those girls in Sunnydale saw in you. So..." she said, kissing him passionately on the lips.
"Earth to Xander! Come in Xander." Buffy said, shaking Xander about like a rag doll. "We're here!"
"Wha? Buffy?" Xander said, still in hi own little world. "I had the most wonderful day dream..."
