TIOA Sns9 eps 19: The flight was good enough, the food better than on other planes or jets. The pilot and co-pilot kept their door open, the stewardess' really did nothing, all those on the jet helped everyone. Angel stood up, she needed to stretch her legs. It had been a long night for all but her, and the pilots, she watched them as they got comfortable, the temperature inside the jet was very cool. Angel walked to one of the stewardess' and asked. "Is there any way we can get blankets for all of them?" The stewardess shook her head and went to the closet, she pulled out many small blankets. Angel walked towards the pilots.
Angel knelt down, and asked. "Is there a place to land, and how much time do we have in the air?" Angel handed both the pilot and co-pilot a cup of coffee. "Thank you." said the pilot. "Oh, well thank you." said the co-pilot. The captain took a sip, it burned the tip of his tongue and lip. "Owe! Mmmmm. Fresh, whooo. Well we have hundreds of places to land, the question is how close, and we have enough fuel to stay up for another ten hours or so." Angel heard this, and was happy, she slid down to the floor. "Then let the jet fly around some before we go, let them sleep."
The stewardess had little trouble giving blankets to the passengers, their eyes were closing. "Thank you, can I have two or
three, Stacy?" asked Blue. "Of course, here have
three, take two more for Angel." said Stacy, she went around and placed blankets gently on the others. Uncle's eyes were already closed, he was sleeping, and Blue looked at him for a moment, her ears picked up the sounds of water, water was flowing over rocks in a stream. Angel had changed the music, and Blue's eyes started to close, she looked slowly over at Angel. She was talking to the pilots, a smile on her face, Blue's eyes closed.
Stacy continued to lay blankets on the others, she saw Mandi, she was asleep but cold. Stacy reached over her, and took the divider up, she gently placed her hand on Mandi's shoulder waking her. "Hmm, ooh it is cold." "Yes, lay down, and sleep, here are four blankets, Angel is going to let you all sleep." Mandi, did not care, but was happy, she laid down and let Stacy place the blankets on top of her. Stacy went one more step down, and placed two on top of Count, he was already sleeping heavily, just a little cold, she placed three on Katz.
"it is caused by earthquakes, the water is pushed up, if you will. The water gets tall, very tall, it is called a tsunami." said Count. Katz was waiting for the class to end, the children were listening to Count. "So, what is an earthquake, and how does it make tsunami's? That is your homework, I want you to think about it. No, earthquakes are rare and so are tsunami's." The bell rang, the children ran fast, leaving pencils and pens behind, Darlin got up much slower, she was thinking about it hard. "Count, how high do they get?" Count looked at her and said. "Well they can get very high, there are video's and places to read." Darlin listened.
Darlin sat in the sand, the sun was up on her shoulders. The breeze was blowing through the palm trees, and the ones that were planted for food. She took her finger and started to draw in the sand, she was thinking of the wave. She looked out into the sand, she wanted it so badly, she did not understand. Katz came towards her, she placed her hand gently on Darlin's. "What are you drawing?" asked Katz. "Oh, Aunt Katz, I have homework. Earthquakes and tsunami's, lightning, weather, tornado's, that is what I like." Katz knelt down beside Darlin. "The one in the sand you drew, is pretty big, that would be very bad."
Darlin raced towards the beach, she made it. She had heard about it, in class. She looked at her creation, the tsunami was larger than life, she watched it grow, running. "Darlin!" Katz pleaded, she did not understand what or how. "Darlin?" Darlin kept running forward. "Aunt Katz, isn't it wonderful?" Darlin ran down to the beach, she watched as her creation grew. Katz raced after her, she could see it, and screamed. "Children run!" "Aunt Katz, calm down." said Darlin inside Katz head. Katz raced forward, the tsunami was growing higher, in the distance, easy to see. Katz ran down in the sand, she fell, the lightning did not help. "Darlin......." Katz was trying to reach her. "Aunt Katz, it is amazing, so beautiful! Look at it, so much water! Imagine how much water!...." Darlin kept running down to the beach, the others were gone on the boat. "Let go of me!" said Darlin, she looked back at the wave that she had created. Katz was taking her away from it, Darlin was not pleased, she would have looked at it and stopped it. She struggled in Katz arms. "You have scared them." Darlin looked at Katz, she loved her, but was too young to get it. Her little mind was all of a sudden mad.
Darlin stood still, she said nothing. "You want to talk about tsunami's, blizzards, and deserts?" Darlin thought as she was going out, she had too much. "Darlin, are you okay?" Darlin stood still, her mind was in turmoil. "Darlin, listen to me please." begged Katz. Darlin looked over her, around her, she looked at the wave she had made. She was not happy to have to tear it down so early. Lighting and tornado's raced forward. Katz watched she huddled the children. "No, she thought, Darlin what are you doing?" Darlin stood there, she did not look at anyone, or anything. "Children, come to me!" screamed Katz.
Darlin stood there, the wave, the white waters, the lightning. Darlin looked up, she was going to look at Katz, the water was upon them, she remembered the words and heard the screams. Darlin changed all her thought and made a circle about them.
