- I'm participating in an Erasmus educational project, says Francesco

- What a coincidence ! We’re doing the same with Moana, » says Emma

Moments after the take off a hostess arrives and asks them:

"What can I serve you?

For me, the best. I want a cocktail and an ice cream!, declares Francesco

- Erm... Sorry young man we don't have that, says the Hostess.

“No alcohol for you, young man!”, admonishes Mrs Piot, frowning at Francesco.

- Excuse me?! I deserve the best because I arrived first in the plane! Says Francesco

- Sorry ma'am, he's having peanuts. For Moana it's cookies and for me pretzels, says Emma

- And what do you want to drink? asks the hostess.

- We’ll have juice. Thank you! » says Emma

The lady brings their snacks while Emma lectures Francesco.

« I can’t wait to get to Tahiti because I’m going to see my grandmother again, Says Moana

- Ah ! You are of Tahitian ascent ? says Emma

-Yes, Says Moana

- I’m looking forward to seeing Papet, I’ve heard so much about it, says Emma

- It’s pronounced Pape-ete, says Francesco

- No, its pronounced Papet, says Emma

- Guys, calm down. Francesco is right. By the way, I’m going to the toilet quickly, says Moana.

- See ? I told you ! » says Francesco proudly.

Few minutes later, Francesco and Emma could hear :

« Due to turbulences, fasten your seatbelts immediately » says the captain.

Emma tells Mrs Joussin and her new friend, "It's been a long time since Moana left »

Francesco and Emma look at each other and say: "Moana!

Suddenly, they hear thumping and screaming coming from the toilet. A little later, when Francesco and Emma can get up from their seats, they go to the toilet and knock on the door.

« Moana? Asks Emma

- Open the door! I've been stuck for 15 minutes! Says Moana

- Yes, we know, we heard you," says Emma.

- Don’t worry, we'll help you" says Francesco.

- Francesco, go and get a hostess! Says Mrs Joussin.

- Yes, I'm going. » he replies

When they can finally open the door, they find Moana in despair.

A few hours later.

"Landing of the A380 flight in Papeete, Tahiti, it is 29°C with a partly cloudy sky. The crew wishes you a pleasant stay" announces the captain.

« The first one to get off is me! » Shouted Francesco

Then they leave the plane. At the customs, Moana starts panicking :

"Where is my passport? Don't tell me it's on the plane! Emma, is it with you?

-No I don't have it. Look in your bag, says Emma

Mrs Piot tries to reassure everyone: “Calm down guys. Francesco is holding the bag with all our papers.”

- I took all your passports, I'm the best. » says Francesco

After customs, they get their bags and leave.

Suddenly, they hear a melody and Emma exclaims:

"How pretty, what a beautiful song I hear!

-WHAT YOU HEAR Emma is traditional Polynesian singing! her teacher replies.
