Indianapolis International Airport. An international airport located seven miles (11km) southwest of downtown Indianapolis in Marion County, Indiana, United States. It is owned and operated by the Indianapolis Airport Authority. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorised it as a medium hub primary commercial service facility.

Early in the morning, Braedey, Jessie, and their friends arrived at the airport, all of them feeling excited for the adventure they're about to go on. Braedey has a single red/blue duffel bag, along with Diana's dark purple bag, with Jessie having her own small backpack in sky blue, while Tyler had a black and grey adventure bag, while Chika simply has a small bag with her, and with Andrea, she had a large backpack, one that looked to be twice the size of Jessie.

"It was nice of your Dad to drop us off early at the airport." Andrea said to Braedey, all of them in a group as they head off to their gate to meet the plane. "Although, your mother seemed rather worrisome for us."

"Mothers worry. It's their nature to worry about their own children." Braedey shrugged to her. "When you're old enough to have kids of your own, you'll understand what I mean." He added.

"Since when are you so philosophical and relaxed about something like that?" Tyler asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I guess it's just my second nature to be so." Braedey smirked, the others snickering and laughing with the brunette as they make their way through the airport.

As they do so, the teens were completely unaware of a blonde male and a female in an orange turtleneck walking in the same direction they were going off to, and they were heading off to the same gate.

"Charter service to Spooky Island will begin boarding momentarily." A female voice over the P.A announced, as Braedey and the others arrived at the gate.

"Made it." Chika sighed in relief.

"And I thought all that training made you stronger." Tyler mocked, much to Chika's annoyance.

After getting their tickets and getting their luggage loaded onboard, the teens take a seat down by some chairs nearby the gate, as they wait for their flight to depart. Braedey and Diana were next to one another, the latter fast asleep and resting her head against Braedey's shoulder, but he gently placed her down on his lap, so she'd feel comfortable. Tyler was reading up on some martial arts tricks he could try and pull off with his Iron Dragon Slayer Magic. With Andrea, she was reading up some old scrolls she had picked up from Gigantica two years back. With Chika, she was just taking a break, and looking at her phone.

As the teens relax by the lounge section, unbeknownst to them, the blonde male and female in the orange turtleneck were standing nearby the gate, alongside a redhead in purple clothing, who had way too many carry-on bags, while there was a lanky male with dusty brown hair that looked to be 'shaggy', while having a green shirt and brown pants.

Jessie was looking about the gate for their flight, seeing the many people going back and forth. She then noticed something, making her eyes widen, and she gently shook Braedey's shoulder to get his attention. "Braedey. Do you see what I see there?" She asked.

Braedey looked to his sister, then over to where she was directing her eyes, the others looking over as well, while Diana woke up a little to see what's wrong. To their surprise and bewilderment, there looked to be a dog of sorts, standing on its hind legs like a man, yet it seems to be in an old woman's dress, big floppy hat and purse included.

"You... have got... to be kidding me." Tyler muttered in shock and surprise.

"Nobody is stupid enough to believe that's an old lady." Chika spluttered in bewilderment.

"Guess someone really didn't want to leave their dog behind." Diana guessed, sitting up and looking to Braedey.

"I guess so." Braedey shrugged.

"Flight 3774 to Spooky Island, now boarding." The female voice over the P.A spoke out, getting the teen's attention.

"We'd better be on our way. Stay together, and be in pairs if you can." Braedey advised to the others.

"Right!" Everyone nodded in agreement, and with that, they headed off to the plane to board, while the group of colourful people from before also boarded the plane.

Soon, the Airbus A320 was cruising up at 20,000ft above sea level, travelling over 500mph, heading to the landing site for Spooky Island. The plane was painted in tribal colours, along with the writing 'Spooky Air' on the sides of the fuselage, along with a tiki mask being on the tail fin.

Up in First Class and Business Class, the teens were throughout the plane, but they were in groups of two, so they can stay together. The groups were: Braedey/Diana, Tyler/Chika, and Andrea/Jessie. With the two lovers, they were over by the left side, Diana looking out the window in awe about the airplane, with Braedey explaining how it's even airborne. Tyler and Chika were having some snacks from the in-flight bar that's on the plane. With Andrea and Jessie, the blonde girl had the younger Martin fast asleep in her lap, and she was keeping her company.

"This is really something else." Diana commented to Braedey. "I know being on that grey Jumbo craft is really cool, but being on something like this, it's really fun." She added.

Braedey chuckled a little, and gently patted her shoulder. "It's the miracle of travel around the world."

"Now that's a brilliant piece of art." Tyler said to Chika, gesturing to the rather nice looking sandwich in his hands.

"You're not gonna try and fit that whole thing in your mouth, are you?" Chika asked him incredulously.

"What? No way. I'd choke on the whole thing if I took it in one go." Tyler scoffed, and took one bite out of the sandwich.

"Ay, caramba." Chika muttered to herself.

Andrea gently patted Jessie's head, the latter fast asleep in her lap, which Andrea thought was cute. She can't help but smile gently at the innocent face Jessie had on her face. 'Braedey is really lucky to have a little sister like you, Jessie.' Andrea thought to herself. 'If only I had a little sister or brother...' She muses.

Just then, the sound of a dog barking and cat meowing at one another got the teen's attention, along with everyone else on the plane, as they look to the back of the section of the plane, which they saw the dog in the grandmother outfit barking at a small white cat.

"Oh, that's not good." Tyler muttered to himself.

"Should we do something?" Diana asked to Braedey.

"It's not appropriate to get involved with someone else's situations or problems." Braedey replied to her, but he takes off his seatbelt. "But, I'm going to go and see what I can do." He gets out of his seat, and began to make his way over to the back seats.

However, before Braedey could reach them, the dog in disguise suddenly punched the blonde male in the face, nearly knocking him out, only for the white cat to jump out of its owner's hands, and the dog jumped out of its seat, and chased after the cat, knocking Braedey down onto his back, as the two animals run about the plane.

"Sit Grandma, bad Grandma!" A male cried out at the dog. "Don't eat the kitty!" The plane turned and jerked once a while due to the dog chasing after the cat.

'This is gonna be a long flight there.' Braedey thought mentally, placing a hand against his head from the impact.
