It was a cold Sunday morning the week before Thanksgiving.
“Bye, dad!” We hollered as we hurried down the airport to the baggage check.
My mom, Maylin, Kaia, and I waited in line. Time slowly passed by until finally we were at the boarding spot. We flew to Dallas, which was a two and a half hour flight. But when we got to the boarding area to go to Grand Rapids, that’s where everything went wrong.
My mom got a call from my dad, who was at home, saying the flight got canceled because of snow! We would have to wait four hours! Yeah, that’s right! Four hours! So we could take a different flight to Detroit instead of Grand Rapids, then a two and a half hour flight to Detroit, then a three to four hour drive to my grandparents’ house!
So we waited, and waited, and waited! When the four hours passed,we boarded and took off in the air. I watched Black Widow and right when it was about to end, the plane shook.
BOOM BOOM BOOOOOOOM!
Kaia started to cry. That cry turned into a sob, that sob turned into a scream, a high pitched scream!
When we listened more carefully we heard…
The common sound of the drum and horns.
BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM.
The windows of the airplane shot up!
“What in the-…” My mom didn’t finish her sentence.
We couldn’t believe what we saw! FLYING PIGS PLAYING INSTRUMENTS! Drums, guitars, pianos, and a bunch more!
“…world,” my mom finished.
They had a Dallas Cowboys flag up and a flag that said, “the Dallas Pig Band!” They were the band of pigs that were going to the football game!
The plane automatically turned around without the pilot’s control!
“Hold on, everybody. I don’t know what happened.” The seatbelt sign turned on. “Please don’t panic,” The captain said in a panicked voice.
Well, the plane followed right behind the pigs’ tails until we got to the Dallas game to cheer them on.
As we hovered in the plane over the game we noticed more flying pigs coming! CHEERLEADER PIGS!
“Let’s go Dallas, let’s go! Let’s go Dallas, let’s go!” The cheerleaders cheered on and on and on.
But that’s not all. BOOOOOOOM! Thousands of pigs came roaring out of the sky and took the place of the people in the stands who didn’t even notice them because of the distraction of the game! The pigs threw the people into the sky. (Although, they were not evil, why would they be?) But let’s not talk about what happened to them because you do NOT want to know.
Well, it wouldn’t be a complete story if you didn’t know; they fell into a river of course where the people would throw the goal post after a great victory!
“OH MY GOSH,” the people on the plane hollered when we heard that disturbing news.
“Well at least we aren’t going to die!” Someone blurted out.
Just then the clock ran out of time.
“Hooray!” Everybody shouted. Dallas won!
Well, obviously we turned around and finished going to Michigan.
“Thankfully we have continued on our journey, and are heading back safely,” the captain announced. “I apologize for that delay. Hopefully we will arrive soon. Thank you for your cooperation and we will be on our way.”
When we got back, the story we told in the car took one hour of the time to tell. And it took most of the ride to convince our grandparents that it actually happened, although they weren’t fully convinced.
By the time we got back, it was 1:30 in the morning so we all got ready to go to bed, although sadly our bags didn’t make it back. All of a sudden everybody woke up to the same sound of…
BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM.
“We heard that for sure on the plane,” I shouted.
My grandma hurried over to the door to see what it was. She opened the door and shrieked! There, right before her eyes, she saw the band of pigs with their drums. Her eyes swirled as she fell backwards with a big CLUMP.
We all ran over to see if she was okay just as the leader pig winked with a full smile so you could see his one golden tooth sparkle.
