THE THREE ZAMBIAN WOMEN IN NORSELAND by Hamlet PART SIX, THE FLIGHT TO STEFANSHOLM BEGINS Astrid and the Three Zambian Women Grace Julie and Lois walked out of the Departure Lounge at Gatwick led by Senior Airline Officer Audihild to board the Norse Air flight for Stefansholm. They had spent a lovely comfortable night recovering from jetlag after their flight from Lusaka at the Sofitel Hotel .at the Airport They had taken a taxi the previous evening into the nearest town Crawley with Astrid to an Indian restaurant the Tamashah, as they all loved Indian food. Also, Lois was feeling so relaxed after the exercise from the beating she had given to the rugger buggers at the Airport the previous day that was in some way's better than a workout at the gym! (see previous Episode) n Gatwick is the only hotel adjacent to Gatwick Airport North Terminal in is the only hotel adjacent to Airport the Terminal in Crawley, West Sussex Audihild strutted along dressed in the Norse Air uniform of studded collar, leather bra, long leather gloves and high heeled thigh length boots. Next to her was her Associate Airline Officer Maarika who had checked them in at the Norse Air desk at Gatwick dressed in the same way. To her other side was a Papian Airline Officer Nahana. The Zambians later found out that as they were all Oslanders they would have to have their meals served by a Papian Nahana as it was against the Law for a Norselander to wait or serve on Papians and Oslanders.. Still even though she was a Papian, Nahana was still bigger and larger than most English women. She looked so confident and had gorgeous long black silky hair. All three of them were Stewardesses or AOs (Airline Officers) as they were called whose job it was to have total power over the Oslander and Papian passengers. After the Three Zambian Women had all gone through the strict security that took almost half an hour, they were all led onto the plane by the 3 AO's as they were properly called. They entered the Second Class of the airplane. Even though it was Second Class it was luxurious far better than First Class on any other airline. The seats were wide and spacious and stretched back to form beds. They were totally unlike the cramped seats that one was used to on other airlines where one would sit for hours restricted with almost no leg room. Further along in front of all the seats there was a TV screen with access to the internet and a full range of films and Norselandic TV programmes especially sporting programmes. There was a lounge area and dining room that served the best cuisine possible. so, the passengers did not have to eat at their seats like other airlines. There were spacious toilets that were spotless with full shower facilities. There was a large gym and a jacuzzi and sauna were pasengers could exercise for hours. At the back was a Sanatorium where passengers who were sick were given full medical attention and full body massage if necessary. As expected, there were enormous portraits of The Queen Goddess all along the plane. On the First Class where it was even more luxurious. each passenger had their own cabin with a bed, sofa, television and personal washing and shower facilities. . It really was a Flying Palace where the service rwas excellent! . Audihild stood before the passengers. By her side she carried a leather crop.and wore handcuffs at her side She addressed them as follows in English and Papian: 'Good morning passengers! My name is Senior Airline Officer and Madame Audihild. To my right is my Associate AO Madame Maarika. To my left is Ms Nahana another AO. She is a Papian and will be serving you drinks and food as it is against our Law for us Norselanders to serve Oslanders and Papians!' 'Aloha nā mākaʻi kakahiaka! ʻO koʻu inoa ʻo L�kela K�kua ʻAno ʻelemakule a me Matama Audihild. Ma koʻu ʻaoʻao akau koʻu Kaukahi Uika luna Matama Maarika. Ma koʻu ʻaoʻao hema loa ʻo Ms Nahana ʻ�" aʻe. He p�"p�" ʻo ia a e lauelaue nāna ʻoe i ka mea inu a me ka meaʻai e kūʻ�" i ke kānāuai no kā mākou Nosiae e lauelaue i ka poʻe haole a me nā Papiani! ' 'Welcome to Flight 201 for Stefansholm It is now 9.30 AM and we are expected to arrive in Stefansholm at exacty 5.30 pm local time by the second!' ''Aloha ʻoe e lele i ka lua o hoʻokahi no Stefansholm ʻEiua he kanakolu AM a ua manaʻo ʻia mākou e h�ʻea ma Stefansholm ma kahi o ʻelima kanakolu i ka manaua o ke kaiāulu ma ka lua!' Maarika was not quite as big as Audihild but was large and formidable none the less. Looking at these three they were obviously trained in bodybuilding and were fully trained in Gym Kata and self-defence. One could not be surprised there was no hijacking in Norse Air or any other Norselandic airline! 'You will do exactly as I say addressing me as Madame Audihild, my Associates as Madame Maarika and Ms Nahana. You will address us correctly without fail or you will taste our crops!' As she said this, she menacingly held her crop in front of her showing the full length of it as a warning 'That means when we say fasten seat belts or return to your seats you will do so without hesitation! We are quite prepared to take you to the Sanatorium at the back as a prisoner and punish you there if you disobey us!' 'That means also you do not behave in a rude, aggressive or disrespectful way or else! Also, we will not tolerate any disrespectful talk about Our Nation either!' she said moving the crop up and down her hands! 'Another thing is that on this plane you are subject to the Law of Our Nation.' 'Also, for health reasons smoking is absolutely banned as it is illegal in Our Nation!' 'What's more you will only be allowed two alcoholic drinks for the entire journey!' 'We hope you have an enjoyable time and that this will be amongst the best 18 hours of your life. Remember that you are travelling by the best and most advanced airline in the world Norse Air renowned for its efficiency and service closely followed by our rivals Lufteflote (though they think they are the greatest airline in the world!)' 'Although we are here to supervise you, we are also here to assist you and to take care of you. If you have any problems at all or do not feel well, please press the buttons and we will come at once. ' 'If you have any medical problems, please press the buttons next to your seats. You must understand that Madame Maarika and I are medically qualified, and we will take you to the Sanatorium and give you expert medical attention there including a full body massage!' 'Have an enjoyable flight. Also get to know each other as you will be together for 18 hours and you may want to meet again' 'RIGHT FASTEN SEAT BELTS! she shouted in English and Papian 'KOHO KĀNU UAIUAI MAU LOA!' The passengers did exactly as they were told. As the plane started down the runway a voice came on the intercom. 'Good morning this is the Captain Joanna Vastergaard speaking. We are about to take off for our journey to Stefansholm. Have the most enjoyable journey of your lives. We will be cruising at a speed of 950 kms per hour. Our next destination is Denver where we will arrive at 12 midday local time for a stopover of two hours. From there we arrive in Our glorious Nation at Stefanshom at 5.30 PM local time. exactly!' 'Have a really enjoyable journey to the Norseland in First Class. Enjoy the luxury of the greatest airline on earth. To the Oslanders and Papians in Second Class you are still travelling in greater comfort than any other airline on earth. Just do excactly what Madame Audihild and the 2 other AOs tell you and you will have the time of your lives!' It was a lovely Spring day. Soon the plane was shooting down the runway at full speed. The mighty Flying Palace then took off bound for Stefansholm. Soon the Three Zambians could see the lovely countryside of Sussex and Hampshire beneath them as the plane disappeared into the clouds. Audihild then stood in front of them. 'Right we're now approaching the Atlantic Ocean. You can unfasten your seatbelts' 'It's breakfast time soon. It will be served by Ms Nahana Please would you take your seats in the dining area when ordered to!' Astrid and the Three Zambian Women walked over to the dining area that was just like a first-class restaurant An American sat next to Grace He was quite plump with a large stomach and beer gut. 'Hi, my name's Bill and this is my wife Mavis So where are you from and where are going to?' 'My name's Grace. I am from Zambia. I am going to Norseland with my Souervisor Astrid and my two friends here.' ' Zambia where's that? Is that somewhere in Europe?' His wife corrected him annoyed at his ignorance 'It's in Africa Bill don't you know?' 'Well I have never been to Norseland before. We live in Glenwood Springs Colorado. I know Norseland is over the Pacific from us.' 'If I knew they worried about what clothes you wore I would not have come! I had to remove my jeans and trainers which they threw away before they let me on the plane, and they gave me these clothes to wear! 'What's even worse is they only allow you to have 2 drinks! If I had known that I would have gone by American Airlines for sure!' Mavis corrected him again. 'Bill keep your voice down! If these stewardesses hear from you again you will be in more trouble! ' 'Well I only flew this airline because its cheaper than American Airlines.This sure is the last time I fly by this goddam airline!' His voice was getting louder than ever. Nahana came over to take their order 'Well what would you like?' she said It was a choice between museli or porage, a selection of fruits, 3 types of juice, rye bread with ham or smorgasbord and coffee or camomile tea and plenty of salad. It was so different from the usual tasteless food that was available on other airlines.Also, it was served in comfortable conditions in a luxury restautant as opposed to sitting at a narrow chair. Bill shouted out. ' Look lady OK I don't want no goddam salad or smorkbroad whatever they damn well call it!' 'I would like an American breakfast bacon. eggs. toast, pancakes with maple sytrup with plenty of fries and as much coffee as I can drink!'. 'I'm a human being not a goddam rabbit! Nahana went up to him 'You address me properly Bill as Ms Nahana This is Norselandic territory and we don't serve American food,' 'AND KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!
