Kayson sighed in relief, the days of getting ready were finally over. There was leaving, today. Lily, Alexa, Sara, James, Talila and he were all flying to China for the games. With a fleet of despair, he hoped that they wouldn't have any more trouble.
A few quick steps, he walked over to Alexa and kissed her cheek handing her the tickets. "Good seats," he commented, pulling a giggling Lily to sit on his shoulders. He looked around at the rather large group, they were all his adopted family and smiled. "Come on, we have a plane to catch...be good Lily," he said to the bouncing child.

Alexa Collins Dawn came quickly. I knew what that meant. That today was the day that we all left Australia for China, for the Olympic Games. I had to make one phone call though before we left the house.
As we walked into the airport I paused. "I better make one phone call. Aimie thinks its only you and me that is coming, remember?"
Aiemie answered in the same fashion as before. That made me smile. "There's a reason that I'm calling you Aiemie."
"Yeah? What is it?"
"There's not just two of us coming. We have an eight year old girl and a toddler. My own daughter, though she's also the daughter of my father. Don't tell your husband about that alright? I know its improper for that sort of thing to be possible for any person," I replied.
"Sure I wont say anything about your baby's father. You can trust me," Aiemie replied. "I'll be waiting for you guys."
I hung up. "Thats all sorted."

Kayson looked around at the quickly filling up airport. Lily could barely sit still, this would be her first plane flight. "Shh Lily, they only let quiet girls onto the plane," he told her with a pat on her knee. She humphed for a moment but sat slightly stiller on his shoulders.
He looked over at Alexa, wondering if she was ready. "All done?" he asked, picking up the heaviest of the bags and chuckled as James took the next heaviest. "Thanks mate."

Alexa Collins I smiled at him, he never seemed to miss anything when I had to do something. Then I looked over at all the bags and went straight for the one that seemed as important to me as the containing my clothes and things, though it had my tack in it. My eyes warned Kayson not to bother helping, I was back to normal, since before that cancer.
I chuckled. "All done." It did not take much effort to lift it up. I sighed asI felt the familiar weight. This was something I was used to carrying since it was the tack trunk that went to all my shows, no matter how small.

An eyebrow rose, amused by her but he didn't try and help. She was stubbon and he didn't want to start a fight with her. In fact, the more he thought about he didn't believe they had ever had a fight. Or at least a proper one.
"Mush kiddies," he chuckled and Sara looked at him, confused. He sighed, knowing he would proberly be the 'embarressing dad' never the 'cool dad'. "Come on guys, were gonna miss our flight."

Alexa Collins
I chuckled as we moved. There was no place I would rather being at the moment, in the airport where I belonged. I knew where we had to go, there was no doubt about that. I was well aware that one of the other staff were taking Prince around to where he was being loaded onto the plane. He’d go quietly on, he’d done this before so there was nothing to worry about.
“And of course we got good seats, no one’s flying the way we all normally do. These planes are only for the Olympians. Never are they used any other time. Double stories too!”

Lily clapped her hands in delight, seeing the large plane before them. Kayson blinked, surprised for he hadnt know that. "Well, its not every day you get a private plane thats only used every...4 years," he said, eyebrows still risen. He shook his head but continued towards the pits. On his shoulders sat Lily, one hand resting on her knee to make sure she didn't fall off, the other hand was holding about 3 bags. "Come on, my fingers are about to drop off," he said cheerfully.

Alexa Collins I chuckled and walked with him over towards the plane. I knew what we had to do this time. Though one of the guys had already seen me. "Come on Alexa! Everyone else is on!"
I sighed. Of course I'd be last to get here. How annoying. "You know, we're the only ones from Queensland on here. No one else was chosen for any of the sports from our state," I told Kayson.

A LOT OF HOURS LATER:
Kayson climbed down the ladder, his feet touching China's soil for the first time. He smiled, setting little Lily onto the tarmac. Finally, a chance to practise his chinese. It would help him, a lot for his upcoming exams as well. He looked over his shoulder, past the others, searching for Alexa. "Wheres Mooma?" Lily asked. "Coming Lily, she'll be here in a second," he said. For the first time in months, the worry lines had left his face. They had landed, and they weren't a million pieces at the bottom of the ocean. James and Talila spotted him and headed over. Lily threw herself at them, chatting about whatever she wanted to.

Alexa Collins As soon as I got off of the plane i heard someone yell: "Alexa! Over here!"
I looked in that direction instantly and spotted the person who yelled. It was Aiemie, she was making her way over to me already. There was a big grin on her face and her shining black hair was done up in a very neat little bun on the back of her head.
She hugged me. "About time you got here!"
"Hey Aiemie. It's good to see you again. I gotta find my family though before i do anything, and get Prince."
"I came prepared for him. I brought my own trailer from home. He can stay in our barn while your here."
"Thanks. Its best for him."
I walked with her over towards the others. Aieimie grinned as she walked over with me.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet one of my friends, Aieime Yi." I turned to Aiemie. "Aieime, this is Kayson, James, Lily, Sara and Talila."
"nice to meet you all," Aiemie said.

Kayson nodded, his arms filled with bags and Lily once more, or he would of offered a hand to shake. "It is good to finally meet you, Aiemie," he said and chuckled as Lily waved madly once more. Wriggling a request to Kayson, he put her back on the ground and she ran over to Alexa. "Mooma, where's Prince?" she asked, looking around as if waiting to see the dark stallion. She loved horses, just as much as her mother and adoptive father.

Alexa Collins I chuckled at Lily's question. "Mummy's about to go and get him, sweetie." I looked at Kayson and the others. "I'll be back in a minute." With that i headed off to where the horses were all being unloaded carefully from the plain. A loud whinny was heard as I got nearer and i saw Prince rear against the person holding him. "Prince!" I shouted. He dropped to the ground at the sight of me getting nearer, seeming calm already. "Sorry about that." I took the lead rope and led him back towards the others, talking to him the whole time in a soothing voice. When I reached the others I said, "That was not his fault. If I dont personally unload him from a plane he does that."

Kayson kissed her cheek as she went past, watching in amusement as Prince reared and was his stubbon young self. "It's okay," said a shaken groundsmen before going off to help the others.
Now that they had Prince, all they needed was to get to there rooms.

Alexa Collins I reached the others and then looked at Aiemie. She grinned as she recognized Prince and the horse actually reached out and headbutted her. "He remembers you," I said.
"That he does. Come on guys." Aiemie led the way to where a minibus was parked, with a horse trailer on the back. She undid the ramp and i settled Prince in easily.

They all followed after the short chinese girl, Kayson half burried under all the bags but he refused to let anyone else carry them. He was fine, he told them. Sara stayed close to Kayson's side, feeling lost already in this big place. Lily ran after the others like a mad hatter, having the time of her life and she hadn't even left the airport yet.
