The sun dips beneath the mountains as the engine turns on. We take off the runway and are in the air. Even though the sun has disappeared, the sky has erupted with colors. Reds, oranges, yellows, and purples streak the skies, just as we fly above them. Not a second later they turn to a mixture of purple, teal, and a deep navy blue. Finally the colors fade and the stars come out. Even though hours go by it seems like minutes and we are already hanging over the ocean. The almost full moon reflects off the waves that crash into each other. Almost a day later I open my eyes to the shining sun beaming down on the cement. We are here.

I really like the use of "erupted". it sounds like the colors are spewing out of the sky. Nice slice.
