What Surprises?

June 14th 2013:

Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!

As I stared at Bobby on Facetime on MK's iPhone as he shared another FUCKED up news and MK aka mousette stared at me while smoking, wonder why her husband got mad.

Two months earlier:

Bobby sent me a text message out of blue, asked me if we can chat on facetime, so I said sure. He said he really want to surprise MK for her birthday is that I fly to see her for the weekend in Memphis and I don't have to pay a dime since he will pay for it. He thought that would be cool for me to spend time with her and I agreed and went excited because this would surprise her out of heck and cheer her up since this would be first time for her to celebrate without her mother there.

There is another surprise: Bobby also tell me to tell Kat aka heartstar20 to come and that he will pay for her tickets too. I called Kat with good news, and she was so super excited. She, too, had go through difficult time with her family emergency situations, and this is good thing for her to get away from her home for the weekend.

Bobby and I keep talking via Facetime to discuss the plans at the late night since we're both working overnight, and when he came home from work, we would be on FT for short time, and sometimes we chatted about other stuff too. The funny part is when MK had to wake up in middle of the night, she would catch him and he blocked the view, and made some lies to tell. MK said "well have fun talking to the mistress." I almost spilled my drink when Bobby told me what MK said. Bobby just want to give her hard time  for fun, but as nights goes by, MK didn't really like the idea of Bobby being so sneaky and with everything going on, MK got mad at Bobby, and Bobby continues to make his lies even worse, so a week before I fly out to Memphis, Bobby told her the truth.

Nooooooooooo....

"Sorry, Becky, I just had to tell her the truth, but remember, she don't know about other two surprises more."

MK did feel bad for ruining our surprise, but she was so so so excited to see me.

Since I'm off on Wednesdays and Thursdays (mind you, thanks to the supervisor, all SRAs still have to do work overnight through the summer time for the first time) I fly on Wed afternoon to Memphis, and I'll fly back with Kat on Sunday afternoon.

Things were going smooth, but then, there was family drama! It's related to what to do-do on MK's birthday June 15th on Saturday...long story haha.

MK and I chatted and stayed up late, and Kat and I texted each other around 10pm-11pm about her flight in that morning, and we were excited.

Suddenly just right before 1AM (keep in mind that means eastern time is 2AM), Bobby keep calling me on FT, and that really put me in awkward because MK sat right there across me, and Bobby is at work, so I figured maybe its about MK's another friend Britney (that was the 3rd surprise) so I covered up and told MK I had to go bathroom. I tried to connected the Facetime, but all failed after like 3rd time.

Bobby: Take MK's iPhone.

I went....uhhh okay.

When I got out of bathroom, MK said Bobby need to talk to me and that he look really mad.

So Facetime finally connected and Bobby told me:

Britney wanted to do double check what time to pick Kat up from airplane since she's on way to Memphis from NC, so I told her the usual time, but I decided to check my another email...and found that Kat's flight from Albany to DCA is cancelled.

"Are you serious?" I asked

He gave me his very serious look.

"FUCK. I just talked to Kat like over an hour ago. I think she's sleeping now. I'll text her now."

Let me talk to MK and tell her the news.

I handed her iPhone back to her and said Bobby want to talk to you.

I watched her reaction and she went like "Wait, so she can't come here now?" with a confused look.

MK had to let Bobby go because he need to go back to work.

"Kat is gonna very devastated. I just talked to her like an hour ago. Sorry another surprise ruined."

"But I'm surprised" MK said.

"Yeah, still not that is how we want to surprise you like that."

So we ended up on making calls to airports like over 2 hours, and MK went into Bobby's another email to find that why airplane was cancelled due to stupid maintenance fix (umm WTF right?) and there were two options: one early for 5:35AM and other after 11AM. I told MK one problem, Kat is asleeping and plan to leave home at 5AM. If leave at 11am, means she will definitely miss her connection from DCA to Memphis. So....We googled for her parents' # phone and found it and we called. Kat's mom answered, and woke Kat up. They decided to take 5:35AM flight but that means they have to leave home right away since it is about 2 hr drive!

MK really feel bad so she decided to surprise Kat with upgrading her ticket to the first class! So funny how Kat's reaction when she found out she's on first class. She thought at first maybe airplane company feel bad for cancelling so put her on first class haha!

All is good though because she made it, with changing time connection too, and arrived early at Memphis.

The third surprise was successful - Britney surprised MK. MK was so obsessed with "who who who" and we told her LET THIS GO! haha. I asked see, all worth for surprise now? She smiled, and said yes.

1 out of 3 surprises...NOT BAD, right? ;-)

best friends, airplane, memphis, birthday, ncs, dca, albany
