“Now Rex now,” as soon as Jake said this, almost to the millisecond Jakes dog lunged at the man, BANG!!…
“Come on Jake were going to miss the plane if you don’t hurry.”
“OK, OK I’m coming don’t worry.”
“Now look after this, make sure you don’t leave it lying around,” Said Jake's mum as she handed him a small luggage bag.
“Last boarding call for Heathrow to Orlando Florida at gate 11.”
“That’s our flight,” said Jake's mum as she was scurrying along like a mouse trying to escape from a sea of people.
“Finally were here.”
“Boarding card please.”
“Here you go.”
“Seat numbers 25 and 26, row F to the right,” said the young aggressive stewardess.
Jake and his mum walked down the long isle looking at all the businessmen, screaming children and worrying couples, until finally they got to their seats.
“Can I please sit next to the window mum please.”
“Only if you promise to behave and no disturbing the pilot again. I still feel sick from last time.”
Jake sat down picked up the plane magazine and started to read it.
“Mum look at all the good films showing there’s Spiderman, John Q, Air Force One and Star Ship Troopers.”
“BEEP, this is your pilot speaking, we are about to take off please watch our stewardess’ demonstrate what to do in an emergency.” As every one watched the safety instructions Jake carried on reading his magazine.
“BEEP, everybody please put your seatbelts on as we are about to take off. Thank you.” there was a loud rumble as the plane advanced to the runway. Jake could feel the plane picking up speed and suddenly the plane started to progress upwards into the sky and as the plane rose Jake felt his ears pop due to the quick change in atmospheric pressure.
“BEEP, we are now safely in the air I will turn the seat belt sign off soon then you will be free to move about the plane. The entertainment will start in about 5 minutes.”
“I'm just going to the toilet mum, I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
“Can I please get past mum, MUM.”
“Oh sorry Jake I was watching a film.” as Jake struggled to get past his mum he saw that Star Ship Troopers had started, so he quickly sat down and turned on the screen “WERE GOING TO CRASH NOOOOO.”
… Whaaa! Hold on tight.
BOOM!
“Where are we? Sarge? Sergeant Waterstone, come in,”
“Jackson I’m here,” Jakes voice sounded distorted and distant.
“Where?.”
“Under the ship.”
“You had me scared then.”
“It looks like we’ve landed on the bugs’ home planet. Get your guns ready to fire.”
“Rex, can you fix the ship?”
“ I might be able to but I need a radioactive isotope and some cables to jump-start the engine.”
“There are a lot of cables in the back of the ship, we should be able to adjust some of them to re-route the ships main power grid to the engines using the radioactive isotope.”
“Sergeant Waterstone we got a big one coming in at 2-o clock oh no it’s a plasma bug and its firing straight at us”…
“BEEP, please can you put your seat belts on as we are experiencing a bit of turbulence. Thank you,” said the pilot.
The plane started to jolt from side to side. The baby behind Jake started to let out a high pitched cry, which annoyed Jake as he was stuck there whilst trying to watch a film with a baby distracting him but after about 5 minutes the turbulence stopped and so did the baby’s high pitched cry.
Jake started to watch Spiderman. A Few hours went by whilst Spiderman was on. When it finished Jake saw that it was time for dinner and the stewardess gave him his dinner
“Look mum I’ve got chips beans and chicken nuggets and you’ve got salad ha ha.” Jake had finished his dinner quite quickly. By then though, he had started to get bored and there was about 2 to 3 hours left before they landed. Then suddenly Jake heard a woman saying, “Don’t throw that Danny.” The next thing Jake new was that the World War 2 toy model was plummeting towards his head, THUD
…The crackling sound of the machine gun didn’t seem to distract Jake as he weaved through the enemy’s bullets. As he fired, the enemy planes went down like flies, one by one until one of the enemy’s bullets hit Jake’s plane.
“Damn. They got us in the fuel tank,” shouted Jakes co-pilot.
As Jake struggled to keep the plane in the air his co-pilot was hysterically screaming “Were not going to make it were going to die.”
“Calm down we’ll make it if I can just find a place to land, ah there’s one. Now just shut up this is going to be difficult.”
Jake went into a steep dive, plunging to the earth. He pulled up and went into a landing position, but just as he got near the landing point his co-pilot shouted, “Were being followed by an enemy fighter pull up NOW.”
“I cant we have to land,” shouted Jake. The enemy fighter suddenly let out a stream of bullets and as Jake tried to dodge them, one hit the engine.” I don’t think we’ll make it,” shouted Jake as he lost control...
“Are you getting off or not,” shouted Jakes mum.
“Oh! Yeh OK.”
