Who: Hayato and his class and anyone who decided to tag along for funsies
What: A TROPICAL GETAWAY
When: A WEEKEND IN JANUARY.
Where: Isle Delfino
Suggested Listening: NO ESCAPE.

Winter sucks, right? Hayato sure thought so. Well, he didn't hate it, but after a month of cold and dark he decided it was high time for a change. While he could have easily done the selfish thing and fled the city for the entirety of winter break, he liked to consider himself a more generous man than that. Surely his students would love the chance to get away from winter for a few days, too. And if any staff happened to stow away for the trip, well, that was their decision.

So, under the guise of having a swimming class while the school's outdoor pool was out of use, our hero whisked everyone away to lovely Isle Delfino. Once plagued by darkness and vandalism, the whole island had since been kept clean and bright and shiny and boasted a number of tourist attractions. With the only real requirement for the gym class being to get at least some swimming in, there would be plenty of time to explore everything else. Between abandoned eggs that hatch water-soluble yoshis, a giant mall, human pachinko, an amusement park, and the hotel with an abundance of ghost stories, there's bound to be something to do.

All in all, not a bad way to ease in to the new semester. The hardcore classes could start next week, he promised, before setting his class free.

"But it's already up in the air! I think it would cause more problems if this thing suddenly goes down onto the ground~!" Ecolo responded before giving a pause.

"That would be a fun thing to do, though. Watch everyone fly up to the ceiling! Ehehe~!"

"That's not what I meant!!" Yarne considers pounding his foot on the ground for emphasis, but quickly decides that throwing this thing off is not something he wants to do.

"I mean getting it back on the ground normally! It is supposed to land, after all. ...Right? I mean this is a thing that's supposed to happen, right? It's not up in the air through some freak accident, is it??" Part of him was aware that that probably wasn't the case- if it was, he doubted he'd be the only one panicking. That didn't keep him from worrying though, because what if it was.

What if it was, indeed.

"Well I don't think I would question this thing being up in the air as a freak accident. I've seen some flying before!" Ecolo flapped his arms around. "I've seen different kinds of ways the planes land though. In the middle of the ocean... Falling and breaking in half with flames coming out... They never look fun wearing poofy orange jackets though."

Ecolo continued to talk with a smile pasted on his face.

Yeah that's just about one of the least helpful things anyone's ever said.

"You're joking, right! Please tell me you're joking!! GODS, WHY DID WE EVEN GET ONTO THIS DEATHTRAP?!" And there he goes screaming again- loud enough that it's probably hurting people's ears. It's a wonder he can even stand his own voice, with those big ears he's got.

Ecolo had to cover his ears from the other's yelling.

"Ouch! I'm surprised your big floppy ears don't hurt from your own yelling! I might get a little worried if you keep yelling, what if the windows break~?"

Yarne doesn't have a response to that! Mostly because he's now sealed his lips together as tight as he can.

He's still pretty obviously freaking out, though. He hasn't stopped pacing back and forth along the plane, and he keeps flailing his arms around, and he's still making a muffled whimpering noise.

"Oh, you stopped talking altogether! Aww, what a bummer." Ecolo sure didn't sound or act like he as bummed out though. "But now it's like a guessing game! I'll guess what you're trying to say!"

He took a moment to watch Yarne's flailing before speaking up again, "you're saying 'I wanna fly!' That's why you're flapping your arms around, right~?"

No. No, that is not what he's trying to say, as his widly shaking head should imply. Also, he's trying to keep his anxious pacing on the half of the plane that Ecolo's not closer to, now. He's starting to worry he's going to have a heart attack if he keeps listening to this guy.

Meanwhile, someone in the seat behind Yarne was jostled awake from all of the panicking. More disgruntled than usual, Garrett leaned out into the aisle and glared at the two of them.

"What the hell."

"What do you think is wrong?! We're flying in the air and we're going to fall and snap in half and burn in the ocean!" replies the rabbitman, while gesturing wildly towards Ecolo. He's trying to keep his voice down as well, but. He's not good at it. Still pretty loud. He must just have a loud speaking voice.

Ecolo, on the other hand, turns to Garreet as he keeps smiling and tilts his head to the side, as if he's innocent.

"Mister rabbit-man is getting too upset to enjoy flying, that's all."

Does this look like the face of someone who cares.

"Last I checked, we're all still alive. And some of us were trying to get some shut eye."

"For NOW, maybe! Something could go wrong at any second though, and I don't want to be flying!!"

"And I don't want to be awake, but here we are."

"Don't want to be awake? Why is that, Mister hoodie? Did you have a bad day?"

"You know," Shantae said, getting up from her seat, "we're gonna be stuck together like this for a while. In a small, confined space, up in the air. So it'd be nice if we could get through this in SOME peace."

Pointing at Yarne, she said, "You need to relax. Remember all those safety videos they made us watch before we took off? That's so that we'll be fine if something does happen. So why don't you just try to sit down, put some headphones on, and watch a movie?"

Then she pointed right at Ecolo. "And YOU are not helping!"

"Awww... But I was just trying to get some fun!" Ecolo replied, sticking his tongue out. "It'll get really boring real quick being stuck in such a small place for a long period of time. Let me have some fun!"

"This is exactly why I was sleeping." Garrett groaned, more to himself than anyone else.

"How am I supposed to relax when this thing could come crashing down at any second?"

That said, Yarne does try sitting back down, at least. Though he's clearly still pretty uncomfortable, tightly gripping his armrests and holding his eyes shut tight so he doesn't accidentally look out the window and freak out even more.

"Well," Shantae said, hand on her chin, "you could put some headphones on and listen to music to distract you. Try to sleep and not think about it." She reached over him, grabbing the window blind, and shutting it for him.

"And if none of that works, well, I guess we could try knocking you out until we land," she suggested, punching her fist into her palm.

She thought she was helping.

"Or I can possess you so you don't have to think or feel!" Ecolo added his own suggestion.

Shantae grabbed Ecolo by the face and shoved him back into his seat.

"Sleeping is a great idea. You can't talk while you sleep." Garrett, meanwhile, knew he wasn't helping. But he was past the point of caring.

To be fair, she was helping! Kind of. The plane flying was no longer at the top of his list of concerns, anyway. Staying on this girl's good side was!

"I'm uh, fine, thanks! I'll just be, sitting here. For the rest of the trip. Quietly."

Ecolo gave a laugh out as he was shoved into his seat, and stayed in it. Wow this girl was kind of scary!

"You're scary, miss purple-ponytail~! I was only suggesting out of kindness~"

He didn't exactly sound like he meant it, though.
