*The fellas are on the big-name plane back to...wherever they're destined to be..*
Brian: *asleep, exhausted after eating half the plane's food supply, crumbs all over the chest of his shirt*
AJ: *beside him, giggling as he sticks little airplane pretzels up Brian's nostrils and in his ears*
Howie: *gazing out the window at the ocean* *turns to say something to Nick and realizes the seat beside him is empty* ....Nick? *looks around* Nick?
Nick: *from the back of the plane* HOWARRRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!!
Howie: *gets up and runs toward the back of the plane, accidentally waking Brian up as he goes by*
Brian: *moves and all of the pretzels go flying*
AJ: *jumps back and tries to act as though he wasn't doing anything*
Brian: Why I oughtta.... *growls at AJ*
Nick: HOOOWAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian/AJ: (give an awkward look)
Howie: I'm coming Nck!!
Nick: HOWARD!!
Howie: NICK!!
Nick: HOWARD!! *is looking out the window* HOWARRRRRRRRRRRDDDD!!!!!!!
Howie: (WTF? look) Nick??
Nick: *looks at Howie* Dude WHAT? I'm trying to get Howard!!!
Howie: (WTF? look) *looks out the window and sees the gigantic mythical butterfly fluttering along behind the airplane* *jaw drops* Uhhhhh........ GUYS???????????????
Nick: HOWARD'S COMIN' WITH US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~*~*~*~
Howie: And where exactly does… Howard think he’s going?
Nick: I already told you, he’s coming with us.
AJ: Oh right Nick. What the hell are you with a gigantic butterfly?
Nick: I’m gonna take him home with me *hugs self with smiling brightly*
AJ: (gives him a WTF? look) Sure Junior… a pet butterfly… I’ve seen it all!
Brian: (yawns and joins the rest of the guys) Hey, what’s with all the… *turns to glance out the window, does a double take and realizes that his mind isn’t play games with him, that there was actually a gigantic, mythical butterfly flying along side them* Look, there’s a humongous butterfly fluttering right outside of the plane.
Howie/AJ: (looks at Brian awkwardly)
Brian: *goes up to the window to get a closer look at the butterfly* Hey Nick, isn’t that Howard?
Howie/AJ: (rolls eyes)
Nick: Yup, and he’s coming home with me! (gives a big grin)
*All of a sudden the plane starts shaking violently, throwing them off guard and tossing them all over the place.*
Howie: Okay, I know that was not turbulence…
Brian: Then what just happened?
Nick: *looks at them sheepishly* It was Howard’s stomach… *Howie, AJ and Brian snap their attention to Nick* it was rumbling and that was… he’s really hungry.
AJ: Nick, if you haven’t noticed, we’re on a freaking plane! What, are we suppose to whip out gigantic insects out of our ass and give it to him?
Howie: AJ, butterflies don’t eat insects.
Brian: Well, it’s not like we have gigantic flowers.
*The plane starts shaking again, more violently than the first time.*
Nick: Okay, we gotta do something quick. Does anyone have food?
Brian: *looks down and sees a pretzel on the ground* Hey AJ, do you still have those pretzels or did you shove them all up my nose?
AJ: No, I still have more. *turns and goes back to his seat to grab the remaining bag of pretzels he had.* Here you go. *he held the bags out to Nick*
Nick: *shakes head* Wait… my spidey senses are tingling again…
AJ: (rolls eyes) Does anyone else find it extremely weird that he gets spidey senses from a freaking butterfly or is it just me?
Nick: Howard wants you to feed him the pretzels.
AJ: *looks around and realizes that everyone’s eyes were on him.* ME?! *he asked, pointing to himself*
Nick: You have no other choice… you are… the chosen one…
AJ: What the hell are you, the freaking Butterfly Whisperer now?
*plane starts shaking yet again*
AJ: Okay, okay, okay, okay… I’ll do it!! Open the freaking door!
*The guys open the door, being blown back by the force of the wind.*
AJ: (eyes widen) Oh hell no!!
Nick: *shouts over the noise of the wind* C’mon AJ… what are you waiting for?
AJ: Nick, are you freaking crazy? *he shouts back* I’m not losing my life over trying to feed a freaking gigantic butterfly some small ass airplane pretzels!!
Nick: You’re our only hope AJ!!
AJ: Well, none of this would be happening if you didn’t decide to keep this huge ass butterfly as your pet!!
Nick: Just do it AJ!! We’re holding on to you… I won’t let you go… I’ll never let you go Alex… never let go!!
AJ/Brian/Howie: (WTF? look)
AJ: *mutters* I can’t believe I’m doing this… *looks down and sees how far up they are* I can do this… I can do this… *he begins to chant, gulping all the while* Okay… um… here Howard… some delicious pretzels… *he held out his hand, full of pretzels*
Nick: He doesn’t speak or understand English AJ!! *he shouted*
AJ: You wouldn’t suppose we have a freaking butterfly translator on this plane do you?
Nick: Look deep within your heart AJ… you will know how to speak his native language.
AJ: *chuckles manically* I can’t believe I’m doing this shit… *holds hand out a little further and begins clicking tongue*
Nick: That’s it AJ… you’re speaking to him!
AJ: He’s not coming to me Nick!
Nick: You must… keep… trying!!
Brian: *light bulb goes off in his head* Ooh AJ!! I know what you have to do!!
AJ: What is it?
Brian: Try singing on of JT’s songs to him. He loves Justin!!
AJ: F*** that!! There is NO WAY in hell I’m gonna sit here and beckon him to come and eat some pretzels by singing one of JT’s songs.
Nick: Just do it AJ!! I can’t… hold… on… much… longer… *strains to hold onto AJ; opens eyes and sees a flock of little baby butterflies fluttering along side Howard*
Howie: (eyes widen) Is that what I think it is?
Brian: Dude, isn’t Howard… a boy?
Nick: OoO… it’s a bunch of little baby Howards!! *lets go of AJ and starts chasing after the little baby butterflies that flew into the plane* C’mere little ones…
AJ: NNNNIIIIICCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *he screams as he falls out of the plane*
Howie/Brian: AJ!!!! *they rush to the plane’s door to see AJ falling*
Nick: *stops chasing baby butterfly and turns around to discover what he had just done* Oh… oops.
