Chapter Text
Rose looked out of the window. The earth looked tiny as she, kanaya and karkat flew cross country to her home in New York. It had been a long trip so far, having to coerce karkat to get on the plane. Hed never flown before so he was rightly nervous, but after reminding him that id be much longer by car, he gave in. Kanaya, altho also having never flown, was calm and collected as they had boarded the plane. When they took off she clutched the armrests tightly, but when prodded said she was okay. Thats how Rose was now occupying the window seat, as the others wanted nothing to do with it. Roses' phone blinked to life, shaking her out of her thoughts.
