October 15th, 2024


    Usually flights don''t bother me. This one does for some reason. It feels like it was just yesterday. Maybe cause it was or maybe I''m trying to find a reason to sort through my racing mind of a thousand useless topics and not focusing on the future I started to plan out before me or maybe I''m just scared.


    I remember when I first saw her.. Snow Now she didn''t remind me of snow. She was the white girl with golden brown haired and a peach from the south country girl with blue eyes but snow.. that was just her nickname her real name is "Mavis O''Malley". We were at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL I was working on getting me some food with my friends and she was there with her friends trying to cut in line with there fast pass even though its not really cutting in front of people. But you couldn''t tell me I wasn''t looking at anything else except for her when I first laid eyes on her. I remember seeing her at one of the scare houses by herself during Halloween Horror Nights cause her drunk friends ran off and ditched her and both of us were drained and tired of the nonsense the guest give when coming through. Since allot of them were drunk or carrying a drunk friend out before security walked them out. We started talking and then talking went to every chance we can get to together and hangout, to going places with one another. She invited me out a few weeks after to a party. It was a Halloween party and I dressed up as Ludacris from his Get Back music video. Put my Afro in corn rolls and used some 3D printed hulk hands I sprayed painted to match my light brown skin tone. I figured it would be a good laugh, and to make it funnier I rehearsed some of his songs to remind myself of what everyone is talking about when they quote ludacris and want me to match lyrics. She came as Sally from a Night Before Christmas. Which can still arguably be declared as a good christmas movie and Halloween costume.... well at least when she wore it. We ended up getting drunk and went walking around the back of her friend''s house and found one of those snow machine makers and then we started making snow, and then everyone started making snow, and then a snow fight started, and yeah there was snow everywhere, and I kissed her for the first time while she made a snow angel and I called her that since... also because she put snow on her to make a beard and kept calling her Santa Klaus.


    Amazing how time flies and 2 years later it''s October 1st again. Year 2024. I thought I''d be at Halloween Horror Nights again but instead I''m taking a trip with Snow to Bora Bora. The beautiful french polynisian island that is also a part of a set of islands called the society islands. Small, slow, easy life... easier than the States that''s for sure. Ya know(whack)..


    Bells yells to Rafael "Sorry big head! You just get in the way!" Did I also mention this is a couples trip.. Meet Bells... well that''s not her name, her real name is"" we call her that cause she couldn''t pronounce bills when it came and kept saying bells. She is haitan around teddys size but with twice the fire.


    Teddy likes calling her his milky way chocolate because even though she has that accent she is a bonified white girl by all standards even if you do lose her in the dark.


    Funny enough I got her to shake the bill like a bell.. still don''t let her sleep that one down. Teddy is a cool guy, oh and his real name is Hector Ramirez, we just call him teddy cause that''s what he calls himself. He came with me and Snow on a double date. We hooked those two up and they got married same day as us in the same place big reception with 4 familys luckily the honeymoons were in different countries, time to talk on the phone didn''t change. We ended moving next door to each other and now couples vacation. Probably shouldn''t have had that coffee... Anyways Teddy and I saw the trip on some savings app and we asked if they wanted to go with since it saved us quite a bit. Savings.


    Teddy and I ended up as bros or best friends if you want to say. Teddy says "What up kid" as teddy and i do a hand shake.


    Teddy was shorter than me by a couple inches. I am 6ft exactly I used to have a low cut fade and a cleaner beard but now I have curly hair and full grown beard.


    Teddy looks white with brown eyes and his Sueve style hair cut but don''t let that fool you with the stalking nature of his build. he is Puerto Rican and proud. Me I am a mutt as they say mixed.


    Puerto Rican, Mexican, Black and Italian. That''s a mouth full but the girl loves it. They also love our tattoos teddy has a few riddle hear and they''re, some are sayings and he has a cross on his neck behind his ear. Me


    I just got a scorpion with fire and tribal patterns around it. We plan on getting more tattoos some with our other friends. And then a couple times a month all 10 guys get together and we have your own little pow wow shoot some pool and drink some beers at some hole in the wall bar. Some of the guys like me are married others are dating while others are focused on they''re goals.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    Luckily no one else came on the trip or that would be one hell of a ride.


    (Or so I thought)


    (Now loading Flight 36B for Delta Airlines to Bora Bora at Gate G)


    Announcement repeats:


    (Now loading Flight 36B for Delta Airlines to Bora Bora at Gate G)


    Teddy stands bored as he leans towards me"They''re always late." As he takes a hit from his marijuana vape pen. I motion for a hit


    "Really bro.?????? you... are So irresponsible.. Oooh is that a raspberry mint flavor .Non chalontly he says "yeah"


    Then pulls an extra one out for me


    "Anyways. So irresponsible..." As I proceed to hand him a drink" Rum and coke"


    Grabbing his cup he looks back. "You Just got one. I pull up a second cup toasting" nahhhh.. Got two right here


    We both go Ayeeeee


    Then Teddy puts a hand on my chest and pulls me closer doing his wannabe tough guy face and says"you got more"


    I nod down to the bag around my shoulder "of course I do sergeant


    I give another nod "Now why wouldn''t I, i have 3 more gallons homie"


    Teddy coughs and chokes on is vape and gasps out saying " Of just...(coughs) Tequila?(Coughs)".


    I scoff "No there''s also mixers...soda,whiskey, scotch, bourbon, and vodka... all we need to forget we had a life... or wives??" both men laugh as the girls walk up.


    Bells: What are you two laughing about


    Snow: yeah what''s so funny?


    Bells: I''m sure they are talking bout forgetting there wives with what they brought


    Snow:oh they''re romancing


    Teddy:nothing like a little bromance


    At this point i play out my own telemundo scene to embarrass the girls as I say in Spanish to teddy


    " mi amor! I missed you so"


    Teddy fakes a faint and fall towards Bells as she let''s him fall


    Teddy pointing to rafael then Bells saying " we can be no longer for my true love is-"


    (Last call for Flight 36B for Delta Airlines to Bora Bora at Gate G)


    Teddy:Bells! Also bells please help me up my love.


    Bells laughing and saying


    "Of course sugar tits"


    All the sudden right when we walk up, we hear a loud commotion heading there way


    And hear familiar voices.


    We look at the girls as they run up the ramp ditching them. Then we look back and see 4 familiar faces and start booking it up the ramp to catch the girls.


    The last four people on the plane were friends who got married before the rest of us.


    They each met in there own way.


    Meet Leo and Tiffany Sanchez. Leo is a 6''2 athletic gym freak from California he is Costa Rican and you will know it, also meet Tiffany his 5''7 British spy. Not really but they both met in China both were studying abroad and happen to meet at a club before there sememster started and wanted to party when met there and then again at class. Both graduated, Tiffany majored in cardio to be a surgeon and Leo majored in network administrative. They both had China class together and that''s where they started getting close and eventually marrying there right after graduation.


    Next we have Matthew and Samantha Jameson.


    Matthew is Ex-marines finished his 4 years doing 1 tour in iraq he wears glasses for someone that can shoot a bottle from 100 yards he is a white kid that always had a taste for spanish woman. Which brings in tiffany. Her parents are rich, puerto rican rich and cuban 5''6 brown eyes with dirty blonde hair and has bricks for hands.. seriously she can fight she was an MMA fighter and now is a police officer. They both met on a cruise to the Bahamas. I know cause I was there. During the 3 day 4 night trip Matthew met Samantha on the top deck trying to get a lighter to work to smoke a cigarette cause her friend''s were with hookups and that''s not her style. Matthew came with me and 2 others at the time. Matthew saw Tiffany trying to light a cigarette and offered his torch light and after that they talked and talked and went there separate ways after the trip. Only to meet again in a meeting at some designing company Matthew worked for. Tiffany and him locked eyes and went for drinks and it has been them since.


    As they bumped into us almost knocking us over. The guys bump us and we fake fight as the girls look embarrassed. When we get done wrestling, everyone gets there seats and luckily we are togther but in the middle. I lean over to the other group "I don''t think we are the only ones ready to party"


    Samantha asks" what do you mean" once everyone looked around as subtly as possible they were surprised to see allot were around there age minus a few slightly older than the rest.


    Leo tells the rest" it looks like a fraternity is on this Flight they are wearing the same color clothing" Teddy taps Leo''s arm and says"make it 3 groups. Allot of them have wrist bands or shirts on stating they''re group."


    Bells taps Teddy''s shoulder and says "I seen a sorority get on" I chuckle "Drama"


    All the girls in the group look at me rude like.


    "what? You can''t tell me I''m wrong. There will be booze and drama. That always leads to fights". The girls start to make gestures to hurry up and explain but they ask questions as I try to


    Snow: So with this many people would it be like Universals Halloween Horror Nights?


    Teddy: much worse.


    Samantha: how?


    Leo: think it of this way. When a girl gets hit on and has a boyfriend or husband on the trip with them and she gets hit on or a body part grabbed, what do you think will happen?


    Me: the guy gets jumped for defending


    Matthew: and that''s when we step in to try and even out the numbers.


    Snow: (scoffs) yeah right.


    Me: it happens all the time.right when i start the rest of us guys say at once" liquid courage"


    Teddy: they get ballsies.


    Leo:over confident in numbers


    Matthew: thinking with there packers in hand


    Me: acting like nothing can take them down


    Then we all say together" a disaster "


    We look at each other with surprise as we laugh. Snow gives bells a light push as she grabs my face for a kiss


    Snow:get off my brain wave


    The laughs continue and we have small chatter as we prepare for the 22 hr flight
