Erica is too late.

Erica ran up to the gate, but the doors were already closed. Surprisingly, the attendants were gone, too. What could she do now? The luggage her mom had packed for her would be going on the plane.

Her eyes bugged out even further when she realized that her mom had the car keys in her purse. She was stranded in the airport, dressed only in a shirt and panties, and her pants were stuck in a chair at the gate. What could she do now?

There were some obvious things, but she needed to prioritize. The first thing she had to do was to get her pants. Maybe, now that she wasn't stuck in the chair (and wearing them) and not in a rush, maybe she could get them unstuck. Then she could focus on trying to get home.

She started to move back across the gate to where she had been sleeping.
