"Hey!" I squealed when I saw Olive walking toward me. I hadn't seen her in so long! Almost a whole week.
"Ivy!" she shouted as she ran up and threw her arms around me. "I'm so excited! I can't believe your awesome mom bought both of us tickets to NYC. This is going to be SO COOL." She was practically jumping up and down with joy. I agreed that this trip was going to be awesome. We were at the airport at that moment, and I couldn't wait to board our flight and head to New York!
"Okay, O. Let's go to our terminal. Um, it's terminal number..." I checked my boarding pass. "Number eighteen." We began walking to the terminal, but soon we had to stop.
"Starbucks!" Olive cried. "Yes!"
"Okay Olive, but only because there's no line. We've got to hurry."
We paid for our drinks and finally made it to terminal eighteen. Just on time, too. A voice came over the loudspeaker that told us, "Now Boarding, Class A."
"That's us, O. Ready?" I asked.
"Born ready, Ives." She replied. I almost laughed at how excited she was. There was almost a comical expression on her face as we boarded the plane. We grabbed a seat near the back and shoved our carryons into the overhead compartment. We got out our phones and headphones, and we were ready to take off. In seconds, the captain was over the loudspeaker to tell us how to use emergency procedures. I paid barely any attention to it. Olive and I were too busy taking travel selfies to post on Instagram.
"Smile!" I snapped a picture and looked at it. "We look hot," I told Olive.
"SO hot," she said, giggling. We were both in such good moods it was incredible. We were finally taking a vacation just the two of us. It felt so good to be free of everything except my best friend. Flying was so much fun, too. Looking at the world pass below was such an amazing and humbling experience. It was so fun to go on airplane trips. I had always loved flying since I was a little girl. I thought I always would. That is, until about a quarter of the way through the flight when my world shattered.

In the Dark
CasualeIvy was taking a vacation with her best friend Olive. They were almost to New York City when all the lights below them went out. Every single building in the country went dark, and the captain of their flight came on the speaker to tell the terrifie...
