First Sight
by Richard Beckham II
Just landed
K. I’m about to park
You sure you don’t want to just pick me up? ;)
Haha
It’s only the first time we’ll ever see each other in person
Did you park yet?
Just did
On the way :)
Good. Can’t wait to see you in real life. I’m sure the webcam doesn’t do you justice ;)
You better believe it ;)
What are you wearing?
Wouldn’t you like to know...
Your lucky jeans?
You know me too well lol
We’re just sitting here by the runway. I hope nothing’s wrong
Yeah, I hope so too
It’s crowded in here. People everywhere. Nobody’s moving. They’re all standing around
That’s what people do in airports lol
Where are you now?
Getting coffee
You’re getting coffee?!!!
You’re not desperately waiting for me at the arrivals? ;)
You’re silly
I’m sure you’re gonna be a while
But you’re not excited to see me for the first time?
Of course I’m excited
Then won’t coffee make you extra excited? Maybe TOO excited ;)
Lol
We’re still just sitting here. People are getting upset
Are the flight attendants saying anything?
No, they look anxious about something though
Probably their next flights lol
It’s got to be a stressful job
Yeah, but their next flight would have to wait for them
Still...
Did you get your coffee?
Yes, sir ;)
What did you get?
None of your business ;)
I prefer cappuccinos
I know you do
So international lol
I’m sure customs will take a while
If I ever get off this plane
You should have left later to pick me up
I thought about it
But I couldn’t wait any longer ;)
Has the plane moved at all yet?
No
Can you tell what’s going on?
No
Wait. I see some flashing lights out the window
It looks like the police
Or the fire department
That’s strange
I hope nothing’s wrong
I know. Me too
Is there anything happening in there?
Not that I can tell
Just a lot of people standing around
A lot of frustrated people lol
wait - I just saw a handful of cops run by!
They were pushing through security
Hmm
Do you see anything else out the window??
Not really
But the people in the rows ahead of me are looking out at something
They have a better view
Do they look upset?
Sort of, I guess
I’m starting to get worried, Colin
I’m sure everything's ok - don't worry
How’s the coffee?
You mean my mocha? ;)
I knew it! I knew that’s what you drink
Lol I told you a few times
I even drank one in front of you
I guess I missed it because of the time difference
Excuses excuses lol
A swat van just came up to our plane! Everybody’s starting to freak out
OMG!!
Can you see what’s happening?
Not really. The stewardesses are trying to calm everybody down.
The passengers are all demanding to know what’s happening
Now there’s a bunch of banging and noises underneath the plane
In the hull or whatever
I’m gonna look for security
Maybe they can tell me something
Is there a TV near you???
Yeah - they’re saying it’s a bomb scare!!!!
I’m freaking out
It’s OK
They know what they’re doing. They’ve been trained
I’m still scared
What if something happens!!!
What if I never get to see you in real life?
We've waited an entire YEAR for this moment
Just breathe. Everything’s going to be fine
What’s happening now?? On the inside??
They’re showing the bomb squad on TV climbing all over the plane
Talk to me Colin! I’m freaking out!!!
Everything’s OK
The air marshals just came on board and told us not to worry
Can you hear the banging?
Yes
There’s a lot going on down there it sounds like
Some people are on their phones calling loved ones
Oh my god!
I see on TV that they’re bringing over one of those stair things for you guys to get off the plane
I can see it
They’re telling us to get off
We’ll have to hurry
I’ll wait here by the coffee place
K
It’s pretty crazy here
More cops just ran by
OMG NOW I SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE PLANE ON TV!!!!!
DID YOU GET OFF YET????
COLIN???
Did you get off the plane?
Colin...if you are still reading these...
I want you to know...
I love you.
