"Hey, TJ?"
TK sighed heavily in his crate. He didn't mind that their parents had to ship himself, Davis, Kari and Yolei to London, England via Ninth Class shipping (especially since their older siblings were getting most of the parents' money for their college education), but did they have to stick him in the same crate with Davis? "Yes? Now what?"
"Can you reach the hostess call button? I'm getting hungry."
"Well, I dunno how that could be. I mean, you ate your rations AND mine during the last few hours. Anyway, I'll remind you for the thousandth time, they don't serve food to ninth class."
"WHAT?! Two hundred-thousand yen per crate and we don't even get a meal?!"
"Keep it down, Dorkis," Yolei called from her crate on the left from the boys' crate. "We're trying to watch the movie!"
Kari voiced her agreement with Yolei's complaint. "It's hard enough to watch and listen through the cracks."
Just then, one of the flight attendants walked into the cargo hold. "All out for England, kids," he called out.
"You hear that, gang," TK cried, "we're here! The plane's landing!"
"Not quite," the attendant said, "The plan lands in Norway. You four land in England. But don't worry, we're only about 30,000 feet."
The four Digi-destined paled as they heard the attendant open the cargo doors. Then, he grabs the crate Davis and TK were in and carried it over to the door. With a good heave, the attendant tossed the crate out as TK shouted, "I'LL SUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

"So," Kaiba said to Yugi, Mai, Anzu, and Jounochi while piloting his newest "toy," the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Jet. "How do you guys like my new jet?"
"Gee, obsessive much?"
"At least it's comfortable, Jounochi," Yugi said, "and there's plenty of room for-."
Yugi was cut off suddenly as two teens suddenly wound up on the windshield of the jet, causing Anzu and Mai to scream in shock. One of the teens, they noticed, had suction cups on his hands and knees.
Kaiba looked at the teens and blinked a few times. "What are those two think they're doing?!"
"Offhand, I'd say one's doing a Garfield impersonation while the other thinks he's a bug."
"Not funny, Mai."
"You hang on," Kaiba said through the glass to the teens," we're landing in London in two minutes!"
The one with the suction cups gave a thumbs-up sign while the other made a face that said "Why me?"

"Thanks for the save," Kari said to the goth girl who almost looked like her twin.
"No problem," the girl said. "By the way, who's your stylist?"
"Welcome, new friends," the orange girl with red hair said while giving Yolei a hug that would likely crush the Rock of Gilbrator. When she was done, and Yolei was gasping for air, she turned to Kari, who quickly put out her hand instead.
Suddenly, Kari gasped as she recognized their rescuers. "You're Raven and Starfire of the Teen Titans! What brings you two out here?"
"Starfire, Robin and I got invites to check out a castle in England," Raven answered. "Robin's piloting, by the way. And shouldn't you two have parachutes to go skydiving?"
"We're also going to a castle in England," Yolei said, "but we and two friends had to be shipped in crates due to low funds. The attendant then tossed us out and-. OH my gosh! TK and Davis!"
Kari paled. "They could still be falling! we have to help them!"
"Don't worry," came a male voice from the cockpit. "I got another jet on radar. Maybe they picked up your friends. Anyway, buckle up, we're about to land."

Mayu took a deep breath after she rushed out of the airport entrance. "[Ahh, it feels good to be back in merry old England!]"
"What was that, Miss Mayu?" asked Chika, who was followed by Taeko, Aoi, and Kaoru.
Mayu turned and blushed a bit. "Sorry. Mayu was so glad to be back here that I got swept up in the moment and spoke in English."
"It's too bad Tina-sempai and Miss Miyabi couldn't join us," Taeko said. "I wonder why they didn't get invited for the tour?"
"It wouldn't have mattered," Aoi stated, "Miss Miyabi had too much work to do. Also, Miss Tina said she didn't like England very much when she visited here some time ago."
"That is her loss," Mayu quickly added, "and we are all better off without that Foster woman and her vile ways, aren't we, Hanabishi-sama?"
"Well..." Kaoru tried to speak, but Mayu kept on going, fantasizing about how the trip would turn out. "At last, a true outing with Hanabishi-sama, and in a place Mayu is well familiar with! After this mystery castle, Mayu and Hanabishi-sama will tour London; Big Ben, the Tower, Canterburg Cathedral..."
"Miss Mayu, the taxi is waiting for us."
Mayu snapped out of her daydream to see Aoi standing beside a taxi-van, waving to her. Kaoru and the others were already inside the vehicle. "Hey, wait for Mayu!"

From within a shadowed room, a crystal ball shown brightly to a cloaked figure. He gazed into the ball, smiling at the images of the three groups who were now en route to him.
"They're on their way," he said to himself.
"...Perfect..."
