"My son Ruffy got to ride on the bumper of an air mover. He had some screams and some tears but he had a good time in the cloud city." -Torton Griffer, PCP Addict
The passengers of flight 76R of the SkyJammer150 airline service had a real honker when they heard the muffled screeches of a youngbody outside their plane. When they looked out their window, they were shocked and pleased to see a smallman desperately clinging to the side of the aircraft at around 16,000 feet. He was crying until about 20,000 feet or so, then he began to smile and giggle and run up and down the wing, presumably from the lack of oxygen.
Flight attendants soon realized he was Ruffy from the Make-A-Hope League, a program for sick kids where they get to make one last hoper before the dark hands come and grasp them. Ruffy's wish was to ride on the outside of a plane and be a "plane man." His father signed the forms and checked in with the pilots, but no one else had been informed of his presence. Once the passengers noticed the boy, it caused quite the commotion inside the cabin. The pilot got on the intercom and assured everyone that he was safe as long has he stays well fed and gets a personal "chyld syze" oxygen tank above 25,000 feet.
That was around the time a stewardess crawled out the porthole on the top of the airplane and walked out to the wing and brought the boy a half a tuna fish sandwich and his oxygen tank so he would be comfortable for the rest of the flight.
By the time the plane reached 50,000 feet, young Ruffy began to get tired so the stewardess brought him out a blankie and a pillow so he could sleep outside for a half an hour.
After naptyme, Ruffy awoke to find the plane making its final descent into the clouds. That's when Ruffy got on top of the fuselage and made his way toward the roof of the cockpit so he could get the best view of the cloud city. He pulled out his jar and scooped up a piece of cloud so he could bring it home to show his dad (when he got out of jail).
When the plane began its landing maneuvers, Ruffy was nowhere to be found. Everyone began to worry that the unthinkable had occurred, that Ruffy had fallen. That's when the radio tower alerted staff that Ruffy was wrapped tightly around the landing gear drinking an apple juice box savoring his last final moments of glory.
