Pixel pushes away the worries, admonishing herself: Can’t you just enjoy right now? A chance tomake a good memory is not one to pass up if you don’t have many. Pixel forces a grin onto her faceand steps back out of the restroom. She finds herself face to face with Lloyd. A smiles genuinely ather and she finds herself grinning back.“Hi, I noticed you were gone, so I figured you’d be here,” Lloyd says.“Uh, yeah! You were right!” Pixel fumbles through a reply. Why can’t I talk right now? Heat rises toher cheeks as she stands there awkwardly in the doorway as silence stretches out in front of her.“Er, I was actually going to, um, use the restroom?” Lloyd says, his face flushing slightly.Pixel cheeks light on fire as she mumbles, “Oh, yeah, of course,” and steps hurriedly out of hisway. He thanks her and disappears inside. As she makes her way back down the isle, the seatbeltlight flashes back on. Pixel plops back down into her seat and buckles up again. She checks the timeon her phone, 12:34. They’re going to be landing soon, so Pixel glances at the items strewn allaround her seat and packs them back up. She’s just finishing when Lloyd slips into his seat next toher.“We’re landing?” Lloyd asks, buckling in as well.“Yeah,” Pixel mumbles, fidgeting with her hands.“Nervous?” Lloyd questions, grabbing her hands to stop her. Pixel abruptly looks up at him, faceflushing slightly.“Somewhat… I don’t really know what we’ll do from here…” She says.“How about find a taxi? Well, first a shuttle bus, then a taxi?” Lloyd suggests.“Oh, yeah! Great idea!” Pixel beams at him, grinning widely. This… may just work! She pauses,then realizes something. We’ve only thought about getting to the house. That’s our end game. Butwhy? We didn’t even think of coming back. At least one of us should have… or for some reason, dowe think we’ll find Eshiria? Just as the airplane comes in for a landing, Pixel realizes she’s stillholding Lloyd’s hand. She drops it, blushing furiously.Lloyd and Pixel lounge around the airport, eating some breakfast wraps, and planning out what to donext. Abruptly, Lloyd’s phone rings, interrupting their planning session. He pulls it out and stares atthe ringer. Mother. He casts a small glance at Pixel, who flashes a small, sad smile back at him. Shedoesn’t understand. Lloyd realizes. She doesn’t remember her parents, and probably didn’t get veryconnected to her new guardians. At least I can remember, even if it is a burden sometimes. Heglances back down at the phone once more. If I hang up, she’ll call again ‘cause she’ll know I havemy phone. He sets the phone back down.“Let it ring. I’m not going to answer it,” he says, his voice as hard as steel. Pixel nods in response,clearly understanding his reasoning. However she doesn’t comment on his cold decision, insteadholding out a warm foil cylinder.“Burrito?”“Yoink!” Lloyd jokes, trying to lighted the mood as he snatches the burrito from her hand, tearing itopen and digging in. “Man, this is good,” he pauses, eying Pixels burrito that sits beside her, “andthere appears to be seconds!” Lloyd lunges for the second burrito, but Pixel snatches it up before hecan get there.She sings a little ditty as she opens it and takes a big bite, “One burrito, two burrito, my burrito,not you burrito!” Lloyd laughs, and they mess around, eating burritos with the background of a lonelyphone ringtone.***
