this is war.

A quiet electronic ping sounded from the over head speakers and the in-flight entertainment that I was watching (this was an episode of a British crime drama called Sherlock) was paused. A blue screen that said "your in flight entertainment is being paused during your captains announcement" appeared on my screen. I sighed . I was really getting into the programme too!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon be making our descent into Gatwick airport. Please fasen your seatbelt, make sure your seat is up to the sitting position, and make sure your table tray is stored away. The time is currently 6:17 am, so were around five hours ahead of the time zone in new-jersey." the captain announced.

I looked over Gerard , my older brother who was going to join the army with me, he looked sleepy. He yawned and then looked at me, Gerard smiled.

"What you lookin at Mikes?" He asked in a sleepy voice

"I was just... Just thinking about the past, you know.." I answered

"Yeah... You okay though... Have you slept?" he asked

"No, I've been to busy watching all three seasons on this crime drama called Sherlock"

"Oh Mikey.... Your gonna regret not sleeping" Gerard sang as he sat up and stretched out his arms, before rubbing his eyes.

"Gee,you know I never sleep on planes. They are SO uncomfortable."

"I know,I know..." Gerard said as he smiled and put in one of his ear-buds.

"What you listening to??" I asked.

Gerard just pointed to his iron maiden T-shirt. I smiled. Me and Gerard had always had a common interests for music and comic books.

"How long is it until we get to the airport Mikey??"

"About ten minuets... I'm not sure" I said as I smiled and got out my mp3 from my rucksack. I put on black flag and started to rock out.

Gerard smirked and pulled out one of my ear buds.

"Hey Mikes... Do you think there will be any fit guys at training?" he whispered into my ear.

"Maybe? I don't know..." I answered as I sighed slightly.

Gerard was openly gay, where as I was still questioning my own sexuality.

There was suddenly another quiet electronic ping

"Cabin crew, lock down everything and please return to your seats. " The captain said

I'm guessing about five minuets later we landed on the tarmac at Gatwick airport.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at Gatwick airport. The time is currently 6:30 am, and the temperature is 5 degrees centigrade. Please make sure you have all your personal belongings, and please be careful when taking items from the over head lockers, as items may fall out and injuring someone.... From all the cabin crew, your co-pilot and myself, we all wish you have had a relaxing flight, and we all hope you have an enjoyable stay in England. " the captain announced
The seatbelt sine went off, so me and Gerard undid our seatbelts and stood up. I
stretched my arms out and yawned slightly.
