~~~(Time: 4:41 AM)~~~
Cera has already been up for the past 10 minutes and is ready to go. He\'s watching me just lay in bed, and I\'m looking at him. He raises an eyebrow in a questioning manner. A sigh escapes my lips, and I get out of the bed and equip all my gear.
He\'s wearing a smile as I approach him, and he stands up when I make it to him. It\'s very early, and no places are open for food. This means neither of us is eating before we head out.
"Are you sure we shouldn\'t wait until they serve breakfast? We\'ll be flying for 20 hours at the least. What if either of us gets hungry on the way there?"
My true aim for this question is to convince him to stay until they serve breakfast so we can get a decent meal before our long outing. His expression doesn\'t tell me anything he\'s thinking, and I\'m growing a little impatient that he hasn\'t responded.
"Look, if you want to stay until breakfast, just say so. Don\'t try to subtly convince me and make it my idea. If you want some food before we head out, I\'m more than willing to do that."
I should\'ve known he\'d see through that... My skills with words have come a long way, but not enough to get anything by Cera. Not at the moment. I fold my arms and look at him with puffed-up cheeks. He chuckles and kisses the top of my head.
"Yeah... I want to stay for breakfast and fill up before we don\'t get to for 20 hours... I don\'t want to be in a bad mood for half the flight because I\'m hungry and angry."
An amused smile graces his features, and I\'m slightly irritated. It\'s not him that\'s making him irritated... It\'s the fact he doesn\'t seem to want or need food as I do... So in a way, it is him...
"The term for when a girl is both hungry and angry is hangry."
What?
My confused look shows him I have no idea why he\'s talking about his or what he means.
"Back in my world... Earth... When a girl is in a bad mood or upset, it\'s usually because she\'s hungry and angry. So a term was invented for this state of mind. Hangry."
There are a lot of things that I find fascinating about Cera\'s home, but this isn\'t one of them. But I can tell from the look in his eyes that this is a nostalgic moment for him.
"What does that have to do with anything regarding right now?"
I\'m frustrated.
And his growing smile doesn\'t make it better.
"It has everything to do with what is happening right now."
He sees that I\'m not amused and knows that my patience is wearing thin.
"You\'re hangry. At this moment in time, I\'m witnessing your first ever hangry moment, and it\'s special indeed."
I don\'t know why, but that embarrasses me way more than I ever thought something could so fast after finding out about it.
"Yeah! So!?"
I throw my hands out and smack him a couple of times, and I hear him laugh out loud at me. There have been times when Cera has laughed at me before. But never when I\'m in a moment of embarrassment like this. It\'s unbelievable.
A mixture inside me I\'ve never felt before is happening, and a growing desire to make him feel embarrassed is growing faster than my embarrassment.
"What\'s so funny, huh?! You like starving your girlfriend and making her miserable without food!?"
He only laughs harder.
His laughter is to the point where he has to sit down and catch his breath between laughs. I\'ve never seen him laugh like this, and the fact it\'s at my expense is driving me nuts.
"Oh, C\'mon! You gotta admit that it\'s pretty funny! I never thought I\'d see this coming from you! Turns out, you can be just as hangry as any other girl out there!"
Now that makes me fume. I don\'t know what I can do as he\'s curled up in laughter on the couch. His eyes are literally watering. I\'m trying to think of something that makes him embarrassed, but I can\'t think of anything.
So I just do what my instincts tell me to do, and I jump at him. As I land on his lap, he loses his breath and starts to breathe hard. And now I know just what to do. I start letting fake tears fall. And that shuts him up immediately.

~~~(Location: The Coastal City of Damaer, Near The Sea Of Relsarmoder)~~~
~~~(Time: 8:33 AM)~~~
I watch as Sally stuffs food into her mouth, and enjoy the moment we have. All the fun I had this morning was cut short by Sally crying. But I soon found out they were fake tears, and she played me, which also sent me into a state of embarrassment.
Never have I been taken for a ride like that. Where I was duped so perfectly, Sally really had me going that I seriously hurt her feelings. And when I found out I was played, I couldn\'t believe it.
"Enjoying your food?"
I\'ve since been full after a couple of steaks, eggs, hashbrowns, and bread. But Sally is still going to town. It\'s like her food is a boss battle and the only way to lower its health is to eat it.
She nods her head with excitement and quickly finishes the food that\'s in her mouth.
"I feel so much better now! I can see why someone would call it hangry. The last time we ate anything was dinner before we got our Inn room here."
Sally has been through longer times without food, and I attribute her hangry state to all the stressful events she\'s been through in the last 72 hours.
I have no problems with her wanting some food. I\'d never had any issues with that. But seeing her like that was a real treat, in my opinion. It was a side that I\'ve never seen before. Sally is capable of having ordinary girl emotions.
She\'s extraordinary in my eyes.
So seeing that made me realize she\'s got hints and pieces that are like any other girl. Jealousy, wrath, and now hangry.
"I hope you feel better. You\'re putting that food away like it\'s your last meal."
She almost completely ignores me, but after a couple of seconds. She raises her head from her plate and looks at me with happy eyes. I never experienced that happiness a girlfriend would have after you fix your hangry state, but now I know what it feels like.
"I do feel better. Do you mind if I ask what other terms are from Earth?"
I don\'t have any problems with that.

~~~(Location: The Coastal City of Damaer, Near The Sea Of Relsarmoder)~~~
~~~(Time: 9:03 AM)~~~
Cera and I are standing on the sandy coast that\'s connected to Damaer, and we look out into The Sea of Relsarmoder. The gently crashing of the waves puts me into a relaxed state. I don\'t mind the thought of settling down on a beautiful coast one day.
But those thoughts are a long time from now. I turn to Cera, and he looks at me with a smile. His Golden Wings gently come out of his back, and he gets on one knee for me to get on his back.
"Alforza, here we come."
We blast off the ground in a split second and level out above the clouds. One thing I\'m worried about this trip is bathroom breaks. I don\'t want Cera seeing me pee... And Gods forbid... Go number 2... Especially when we\'re flying, and there are no bathrooms for thousands of miles...
It maybe wasn\'t a good idea to have all that food before we left...
Worst case, I have to hold it in...
Please don\'t make me have to go to the bathroom during this flight...
