My First Airplane Trip

劉潤松

“Ladies and Gentleman， our plane will take off soon. Please confirm again your safety belt has already been fastened and the mobile phone has been turned off. Thank you！” The sweet sound was like a clear river flowing from a peaceful valley， smoothing out our impatience， edifying our heart， igniting our passion and delighting all of us. Nervously， there I was， in my seat—a seat so comfortable that I was like a free baby in a swimming pool. What should I do？ Quickly， I wiggled my body， straightened myself， leaned forward the window， pushed my fringe aside and let my eyes stare at everything outside the plane. And I even could hear my heartbeat. For it is my first time to take an airplane.

“Moving！ moving！” An exciting but low voice burst into the cabin. I gasped the handrail firmly， and my mouth opened spontaneously， and my eyebrow clustered like a wing， and I watched quietly all round. However， Its beyond my expectation. I dont see we were like a rocket flying into the boundless sky instantly. I dont see there was a big shake—shake as a tumbler in our plane. I dont see the oxygen deficit phenomenon although it is ridiculous. I dont see the dense smoke below our plane. But I see the plane shift slowly in the track， the water drip on the window， the paper and tissue sway slightly like a naughty child dancing on the wall. What should I do now？ I imagined myself being outside the plane， seeing the grand movement！ And I guess， it must be a special experience.

What should I do？ Suddenly， I just realized that it was not that I thought I could imagine， but that I should enjoy and cherish this experience： I saw the airport. It is huge—very huge， so huge that it could accommodate all the Transformers. And with the shifting of the plane， much staff in the airport entered into my view， like the flying planes soaring in the air， like the pretty small cars moving in the airport， like a row of distant streetlights saying “wish you a good trip” to us， like the signals of different colors twinkling in other planes， like lots of tranquil buildings standing nearby， like a few cute workers walking on the ground—they are frank， confident， spectacular， awesome and extraordinarily good-natured.

What should I do？ Joyful， Immersing in the wonderful landscape， I reached down into my pocket and took out my cellphone， then I took many interesting photos and videos. Looking back on these photos and videos now， I would wonder why they are so special to me. Why are they even lively now？ Maybe I find the authentic scenery appealing. Maybe I have a particular taste for this stuff. Anyway， it makes a tremendous difference to me.

What happened？ Immediately， a deafening roar stabbed into my ears， and my body leaned backward losing the gravity， and my heart was going to jump out from my body， and I was somehow lifted by a magic power， and I felt we were like a galloping horse on the track， and the speed was about to more than 50 km/h！ 100 km/h！ 200 km/h！ and 300 km/h！ Oh my god！ It was the very moment—the moment was part of my unforgettable memory. And we were the eagle passing through the thick clouds and flying to the high sky. But the only pity was left here： it was at night so I couldnt see anything.

What should I do？ I wanted to take a nap， for I had had a long journey before， pretty giddy and super hungry. I didnt know how long I slept. But when I woke up， I noticed that， I was lying on the seat， hearing the brisk pace， scenting the spicy smell. “Dish” someone whispered. Whats that！ A lovely hamburger， a perfect drink， an exquisite box of rice with beef and a sweet cheese！—they were all put tidily on the tray table in front of me. Should I continue sleeping？ No！ There is nothing I wanted to do but enjoy the big meal！ So I got up without hesitation， and tidied up my clothes， wiped the sweat off my forehead， pulled my gusset， and I saw the dishes smiling at me. At the same time， an interesting stuff tied on the handrail attracted me. Its a television. And I pressed the button. After a while， it lit up. There were lots of movies as well as music for choosing， for example， the X-Man， Impossible Mission and so on. Finally， the Impossible Mission started on the screen. At that time， I could even feel that the fairy danced with joy over my head and the cabin was full of happiness， for we were pretty lucky to enjoy the pleasant plane trip.To be honest， I have never experienced it before and actually， I couldnt imagine such a long long journey， like Tang Monk going to the Western Heaven to acquire scriptures. But finally we arrived！ I was in another country—America，where I always dream to go.

Now that I think about my first airplane trip， what I have experienced was fantastic. As the saying goes， “Life is like a box of chocolates， you never know what youre gonna get.”
