There’s No Place Like Nome! – Page 1

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was going to try and find the girls that had been kidnapped, Noah would have never gone to Nome. Seeing as he was chosen for the trip, though, he printed out a bunch of refrigerator forms to try and sell refrigerators to the Eskimos.

Getting on the airplane, he fastened his seat-belt, and the long ride was about to begin. As the airplane started to taxi towards the runway, a brunette stewardess came out of the cockpit and a pop came over the intercom. “Good morning! You are aboard flight 1037 headed for Nome, Alaska. Please follow along using the card in front of you. In case you live in a cave, the seat-belts are operated by the silver buckle. Make sure it’s tightened tight and low around your waist. This flight is a non-smoking flight. The lavatories are equipped with smoke detectors and video cameras. Any tampering with any device is a federal offense. If an accident occurs, first stop screaming. Then, if you are seated next to a small child, or one acting like one, put the oxygen mask over his face fist. Everything is in the card, which is probably still in the pocket in front of you…”

“Great. The only flight to Nome today, and I have to get one with a pilot who thinks he is a comedian!” The guy next to Noah remarked.

“I think he’s pretty good!” Noah stated. The stewardess walked over to Noah and stood there. Noah looked up.

“Sir, could I ask you to put your seat back up?” The stewardess asked.

“Darling, you can ask me anything!” Noah said, pressing the button that caused his seat to return to normal.

“Thank you,” the stewardess replied, blushing.

“Wow, is she hot!” Noah commented to the person next to him.

“She’d better be at least warm. It’s cold in Alaska nowadays.” The other man said. Noah did a double take, and then he gave the man an unbelieving stare. The man just chucked to himself, picked up a newspaper, and started to read. Noah leaned back, closed his eyes, and fell to sleep.

“Excuse me, sir.” Noah felt a touch on his shoulder. Shaking himself a little, he looked towards her. She repeated, “Excuse me, sir. What would you like?”

“You.” Noah mumbled sleepily. The guy next to him started laughing. “Huh? What??” Noah asked, coming out of his daze.

“I’m flattered, sir, but I don’t think that I’m on the menu!” The girl replied. Handing him some soda, Noah turned all red. The man next to him continued to laugh to himself.

“Oh, be quiet.” Noah said.

A little while later, the man next to Noah started to ask Noah some questions. “Hey, my name’s Kirk. What’s yours?”

“Noah.”

“So, what brings you here?”

“I’m looking for some missing girls.”
