Chapter 1: Weekend-away Here We Come!
Nabia: Guys, we will be late if we don’t leave now!
Biance: I’m all done sis! Are you both done Dave and Cianco?
David: I’m all set!
Cianco: (hands folded) Mmm...I feel like I’m forgetting something.
Nabia, Biance, and David: (sighs)
Hi - I am Nabia and this is my story :)
You see, David and I are 20 years of age but he is the oldest because he was born in March, while I was born in July. There is our little sis Biance - she is two years younger, meaning that she is 18 years of age and of course, how can we forget the last born of the family - Cianco? He is 16 years of age. Cute right?
Biance and Cianco were on school holiday for a full month, so I decided, why not take a weekend away to Mauritius? Our parents took us to the airport and we said our final goodbyes... don’t get me wrong, but this wasn’t a forever goodbye - we were going on a weekend away.
Mum:(giving us tight hugs) Oh kids, we will miss you terribly! (sad tone)
David:Don’t worry about us mum - we will all be good kids! (winks)
Mum:(unsure) okay...if you say so.
Dad:(firm voice) David, Cianco, Biance, and Nabia - take care of yourselves, okay? Don’t forget to call us once you land.
Us:(in unison) Right!
“Flight 235 will be leaving in 5 minutes.”
Cianco:Well - this is it. See you on Monday mum and dad! (walking away)
Nabia (me) and Biance: (hugging tightly) Bye Mum and Dad, we love you and see you on Monday! Mwah!
We all waved at our parents one last time - in which they returned the wave. We then all walked away, going into our airline.
David and Cianco:Woo!
Mum:(smirks) Some things never change.
As we entered the airline, we realized...
THAT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES INSIDE!!!
Biance and I looked at each other, trying to comprehend the situation without overreacting.
Cianco:Cool! It seems like we are the only ones in!
Biance:(shocked) Guys, did you see that there is no pilot?
David: Really?
Cianco: This is bound to get exciting!
Me: Oh yeah... I heard about it - the self-automated airline. It’s an airline that practically drives itself without needing a human pilot...it’s practically an automated pilot.
Cianco: Cool!
AI Pilot: Please take your seats. This airline is about to depart to Mauritius. Please note that due to a few people traveling to Mauritius now, prices have been reduced, which is why you are the only ones traveling as a group. Feel free to serve yourselves some snacks at the back. Please enjoy the flight!
I was seated with Biance - we are known as twins of different ages because we think and feel the same way! Awesome right?
Me: Phew! At least the automated pilot answered one of our concerns.
Biance: (sigh of relief) Me too.
Me: Let’s see what Mauritius has to offer.
David: Indeed!
We all fell asleep peacefully.
