((...that was a cheap scene change, but meh.))

Quickly, Glory crammed the last of her clothes into her normal-sized suitcase. She had to dig out all of her shorts and tanks again, but she didn't mind. Hawaii was worth it. Making sure she had her extra-moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for her hair, she put them into a Ziploc bag and put them in with her other toiletries. Then she carried her suitcase out to her car and put it into her back seat. The giant suitcase was already in her trunk, lined with blankets and a couple of pillows and waiting to go. Once her things were in the car, she went down to the beach.

((It works for me. :3 ))

Léan was eagerly waiting for her down by the beach. He made sure to dry himself off on the rocks before hopping down onto the sand, so it wouldn't stick to him for the trip. His tail was swishing back and forth excitedly.

Today, Archie and Damon, who kept himself low in the water but had his head sticking up out of it, were here to see him off. As expected, both of them were terrified at the notion of traveling like humans, so they didn't want to go.

"If I could back my car down the sand, I would, but it has absolutely no traction on sand," Glory commented. "At least, not sand this fine."

"I am aware of that." Léan swatted Archie away when he started to cling to him. "Off, you."

Archie snickered, nuzzling his shoulder. "Have fuuuun."

"Aw, how sweet," Glory cooed, teasing. Early morning or not, she was excited about the trip, so she wasn't anywhere near half-asleep. "Alright, we've got to go if we're going to make it."

Léan wriggled away from his brother, contently. "Save me from the clinging nature of my evil twin..." he joked, amused. He seemed ready to leave, now.

Archie frowned. "You're the evil twin, you big ol' grump. Bye-bye, guys!"

Rolling her eyes, she picked Léan up off the sand.

"I'll do my best not to bump the suitcase around too much," she said as she brought him to the car.

"Alright," Glory replied as she set him gently in the suitcase. "Just stay as quiet as you can for the trip and I'll try to get you as close to a window on the plane as possible."

"I'll do my best," Glory said. Carefully, she closed the suitcase and then closed the trunk of her car. Getting into the driver's seat, she pulled out of the driveway and headed to where she was supposed to meet everyone else.

Glory pulled into the parking lot and looked around. There were fewer people than she'd imagined, which was definitely not a bad thing. She looked around for someone she knew.

Viktor was waiting near the jet, which was starting to load passengers. He was leaning against the stairs leading up to the door. He wasn't with Selena or her friends, but he wasn't alone. The fingers of his right hand were entwined with the fingers on the hand of the attractive club bouncer, Curry.

Selena was busy unloading her luggage from her car, a few spots down.

Getting out of her car, Glory popped the trunk and then dragged the small suitcase with her things out of the backseat, setting it on the ground. Then she turned to the big suitcase.

"Now," she murmured to herself, "how am I going to haul this thing out of the trunk...?"

"Maybe..." Glory said, looking around. When she saw Viktor and Curry, she hesitated a moment before going over to them.

"Hey," she said, "think one of you can help me? One of my suitcases is heavy, and I don't want it dropped."

Viktor, ever the lazy one, glanced at his companion...who was, indeed, almost seven feet tall.

Curry snorted, shoving his shoulder a bit, before releasing Viktor's hand and shrugging away from the stairs. "Such an un-chivalrous cur you are, Viktor." He glanced at her. "I will help you."

"Thank you so much," Glory said as she led him to her car. "Be careful with it? I don't want it thrown around or dropped or anything like that. I'm weird about my stuff that way." Hopefully, that was a good enough excuse as to why she would stay close to the suitcase.

"Thanks," Glory replied as she took the handle. Grabbing her other suitcase, she wheeled them both to the plane, making sure the big suitcase didn't jostle too much. Once she was on the plane, she made sure to find a spot near both a window and a seat for her suitcases. It wasn't easy, but she found one. Once she did, she tucked her small suitcase down in the corner and then propped the big one up against the wall.

"You'll know when we're off the ground," Glory murmured as she sat down in her seat. "Trust me, you'll know." Digging around in her purse, she looked for her iPod to pass the time.
