Feb 22nd: Picked the Wrong Week to Stop Sniffing Glue

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 3:25 pm

In the lounge at Heathrow, Will's assorted family members milled around, waiting to be picked up.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 3:33 pm

Sara, with Onyx in tow, hurries through the lobby and to the gate their flight had landed at. Or rather, she hurries as much as she can, which isn't particularly much at all.

"Do you see them? They must be at this gate somewhere..."

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:06 pm

"No I do not, ma'am," Onyx says, "Do not worry though. We are very distinctive. I am sure they will find us."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:09 pm

"You're right. Well, yell if you see them anyway..." she says, fidgeting around a bit as she let's her eyes wander through the lobby.

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:12 pm

Onyx nods, "Of course, ma'am."

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:13 pm

"Oh. There's the black one," one of Will's grandparents mumbled, pointing over towards Onyx.

"Over here!" Max Stanton called.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:19 pm

Sara thankfully only heard Max shouting, which, even in the busy lobby of the airport wasn't all that hard and she waves as she spots him and the rest of Will's family. She tries not to be too nervous as she heads towards them with Onyx.

"Hi. Welcome to London." she smiles at them as they get close. "Will couldn't make it. He's... busy."

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:22 pm

Max raised an eyebrow at that. "Busy?"

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:22 pm

"I will take your bags," Onyx says, "There is a car waiting."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:24 pm

"He'll meet us at the church." Hopefully.

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:26 pm

"I can handle them VERY WELL myself, thank you," Will's grandmother said, storming off past Onyx, though Max was more than willing to let Onyx take whatever she wanted.
"Ah, last minute preparations. He should have gotten anything taken care of before hand."

"Oh, like you're one to talk, Max." Rita said, chuckling.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:29 pm

Sara tries her best not to glare at Will's grandmother and puts on a slightly forced smile instead.

"It's all good. One less person that has to cram into the car, right?"

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:30 pm

"I take up enough space as it is, is that what your saying?" Max said, eying Sara.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:31 pm

"No, I... of course not..." she mumbles.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:33 pm

After a moment, Max broke out into laughter. "You take things too seriously, Sara."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:37 pm

"I'm a tad nervous today."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:39 pm

"And understandably so," Rita said, glaring at Max.

"We going to be waiting around in this dumb airport all day?" Will's grandmother shouted.

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:41 pm

"She sounds a tad cranky," Onyx muses, "Do we need to stop and get her something to eat?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:43 pm

"She was like this the entire flight," Max whispered.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:43 pm

"Right..." she winces ever so slightly. "I suppose we should get going."

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:44 pm

"I have a feeling she is going to be difficult about being searched," Onyx says, lifting everyone's bags with ease, "Perhaps I should sedate her?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:46 pm

"Being WHAT now?" Rita asked.

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:47 pm

"I need to make sure you are not armed," Onyx says, "I was warned you might cause trouble."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:48 pm

Sara forces a nervous chuckle. "She's just joking. Right Onyx?"

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:52 pm

"This is for your safety, Mistress," Onyx says, "I will also need to search everyone's bags."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:53 pm

"Now hold it right there! Who the hell are you to be ordering us around?" Will's grandmother protested.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:55 pm

"No one's bags are gonna get searched."

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 4:56 pm

"My name is Onyx," Onyx says, bowing her head, "And I am the flower girl."

Onyx glances at Sara, "...Is that an order, ma'am?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:01 pm

Sara lets out a little sigh. "Yes. None of the guests are getting searched."

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:06 pm

"THAT'S your flower girl? Who's your maid of honor, Arnold Schwarzenegger?"

by **Onyx** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:09 pm

Onyx frowns, "Then I will obey, Mistress."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:10 pm

"Two pink Cockatoos and a Hippie." Sara shoots back with juuuust a bit of defiance in her voice.

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:10 pm

Will's grandmother scoffed. "It's YOUR wedding, I suppose..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:12 pm

"Yes it is. Now everyone into the car. Please."

by **Narrator** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:16 pm

"Quite right," Max said, trying to head off the fight. "To the car, then."

"Now, this is a NORMAL car, right? Not one of those ones I see on the TV?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:19 pm

"It's just a rented cab."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:21 pm

"Good. At least SOMETHING will be right around here."
"Mother!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:25 pm

"Well it is a British cab..." she mumbles as they walk up to the black car.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:28 pm

"Wrong side of the road I can handle," she said, walking briskly forward.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:37 pm

Sara doesn't respond and just climbs into the cab.

"Anyway, the church is a bit outside of London, so Onyx is gonna help with taking people back to campus afterwards for the reception. Your hotel is just across the Thames a bit."
