She opened the door.
'you can't just do that....how can I trust you after you keep changing your mind - its obvious you don't like me enough because i was making moves and you werent giving them back...I was foolish to even try'

John started sobbing uncontrollably and said "Look, please give me two more chances, I, I am a very conflicted man, but I've decided that I love you more, you look so pretty, I promise I won't do this again." He sobbed even more and said "IF you reject me, that'll be proof that I can't get a girlfriend, that I am not good enough.."

Rae raised an eyebrow.

'two more chances? what so you can date me thats one....and Flavia the next?'

she sighed.

'prove it that you like me then'

Rae raised an eyebrow.

'two more chances? what so you can date me thats one....and Flavia the next?'

she sighed.

'prove it that you like me then'

John swooped down and hugged her kind of tight, and he kissed her three times, one on each cheek and one on her lips and said "IF that's not proof enough that I like you, I don't know what is.." He smiled a bit and hoped that she'd forgive him...

she smiled.
'I still don't know...I might need more of that last bit of proof again' she said referring to the kiss.

she smiled.
'I still don't know...I might need more of that last bit of proof again' she said referring to the kiss.

John kissed her tenderly on the lip and said "Does that do it Miss Rae?"

she put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips, it seemed for a long time, she bit his lower lip tenderly and then pulled away.

John smiled and said "I love you Rae, I won't let this happen again.." He kissed her and smiled and said "Well, let's go to my dorm and see if Ingram will let me stay.." He went over with Rae following and knocked on the dorm and sai d "Ingram can I stay, I wish to apologize for my remarks earlier.."

she put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips, it seemed for a long time, she bit his lower lip tenderly and then pulled away.

'I don't think hes gonna talk...perhaps you should just stay with me' she said chucking her spare duvet on the bottom bunk, she went into the bathroom and got changed in her strap top and little shorts, she put a dressing gown on.
She kissed him once more and then climbed up into her bed.

John nodded and climbed in the empty bed, the when he went to sleep he saw the following nightmare..

He was walking down the hallway, when Ingram came out and said to John "My father was killed by those losuty Londinians, join me or die..", John said no, and drew out a gun, which oddly enough Ingram remained calm until John pointed a wand and yelled "CRUCIO", and Ingram fell on the ground screaming, John turning into Lord Voldemort, he finally yelled, pointing his wand at Ingram "ADVADA KEDAVRA!", and the green light went to Ingram and hit him square on the chest, John woke up from this nightmare, sweating, but it was morning...

Rae stepped down the ladder and sat next to him.
'your sweating...is everything ok?' she said, wiping his forehead with a damp flannel.

Rae stepped down the ladder and sat next to him.
'your sweating...is everything ok?' she said, wiping his forehead with a damp flannel.

John said "I am not okay, I had a nightmare, that I, I was Lord Voldemort and that I murdered Ingram, I wouldn't really murder him, but the nightmare scared me nonetheless.."

'awww' Rae said, she dabbed his face.
'its just because you two had a fight...thats all' she said, she kissed him on the forehead gently.

'awww' Rae said, she dabbed his face.
'its just because you two had a fight...thats all' she said, she kissed him on the forehead gently.

John smiled and said "Thank you, I am not angry or upset at Ingram any longer, and I wonder if he isn't also!, I love you, you look and smell like sunshine.."

OOC: Hehehe. Smelling like sunshine. Since the sun is a giant nuclear fireball, would that be like saying, 'Dear, you smell like Hiroshima right after the bomb dropped. Mmm - scorched flesh and burning buildings'?

Flavia sat at her desk, her sylphlike face illuminated merely by the light of her laptop computer screen. Her fingers were a blur as she methodically wrote her Roman History essay, but her thoughts, inexplicably, wandered back to the Calizorinstani boy.

John, right? Is that with an 'h'? I think it is, she thought. No, Flavia, no. I needn't dwell on him. What is he to you? Plenty of boys are all over me, and I shan't settle for the first one in sight - especially one who consistently thinks with his crotch, not his brain.

She repeated such thoughts to herself over and over again, but the small sector of the cerebral cortex thinking about him continued to fire its neurons.

'you'd better get up, we have class in an hour' Rae said, she smiled, she put some lip gloss on and tidied up a little, she pushed him out of bed to make him move.

Damn, I'm too late, all the girls are taken, Steve thought to himself. Then, as he was leaving the cafeteria he noticed a large bulletin board. Well, I could always try writing a personal ad. After ten minutes on his laptop, he came up with a sheet of paper showing his picture and the words:

Single male, age 14 from Central Prestonia seeks female for friendship and possible relationship. Any interested parties should inquire at room 27-B.

OOC: Hehehe. Smelling like sunshine. Since the sun is a giant nuclear fireball, would that be like saying, 'Dear, you smell like Hiroshima right after the bomb dropped. Mmm - scorched flesh and burning buildings'?

She repeated such thoughts to herself over and over again, but the small sector of the cerebral cortex thinking about him continued to fire its neurons.

Along with John, sat his younger brother Tom who was 16.5 who had also enrolled in the school was looking at Fluvia and decided to approach her after class..

Tom walked up to Fluvia and said "Hi, I am Tom Arnold, John's younger brother, I think with my brain not my crotch like my older brother, what say you come to my dorm for dinner tonight.."

Rae walked out of her room leaving it unlocked, John was still in there and she didnt want to be late for her sisters lecture.

John got up and walked down to his class and sat far away from his younger brother, he felt that his brother was making a mistake, but he figured "Ah heck, let him date whomever he wants.." He looked at Rae occasionally, smiling at her..

"Er," said Flavia awkwardly. "Hi there. At least you're forthcoming, and that's start. But...what the hell is wrong with you?"

She quickly walked off towards her next class, but she turned back to look at Tom. She shuddered in horror.

Rae smiled back and gave a little wave, she concentrated hard. When class finished she rushed up to her room and got changed, she put on some of her native pan pipe music and laid there with her eyes closed thinking of the future.

"Er," said Flavia awkwardly. "Hi there. At least you're forthcoming, and that's start. But...what the hell is wrong with you?"

She quickly walked off towards her next class, but she turned back to look at Tom. She shuddered in horror.

Tom said to her "Wait, if you'll come with me after your next class, I'll explain, please?"

All through the next class he looked quite ill and dejected, most people were feeling sorry for him, including John and Rae.

Rae rememebered the class earlier while on her bed she remembered looking at Tom, and remembered thats how she felt when John told her about Flavia

Tom said to her "Wait, if you'll come with me after your next class, I'll explain, please?"

All through the next class he looked quite ill and dejected, most people were feeling sorry for him, including John and Rae.

"Not a chance," she called out as she walked away.

"Not a chance," she called out as she walked away.

Tom fumed and after the class was over he walked up to her and said calmly "Look I know I was a bit odd and I apologize, I swear to god I won't do it again, you have to hear me out at least!" He was getting angry and said "I like you, but you don't like me?, isn't that a bit, odd?, I know you won't hear me out, but what can I do to get your trust back?"

Rae heard raised voices, it ruined her meditation, she went downstairs and saw Tom and Flavia arguing.

She walked past, deciding to give peace talks a miss and went to find John....

Rae heard raised voices, it ruined her meditation, she went downstairs and saw Tom and Flavia arguing.

She walked past, deciding to give peace talks a miss and went to find John....

John saw Rae and said "Hey Rae, you look nice as usual!", and he kissed her quickly on the cheek and said "How was your sister's lecture.."

"Erm," Flavia said awkwardly. "Just 'erm'. How is it odd that I don't like you? I can't imagine any redeeming characteristics that you might possess."

She looked at Tom with an evaluating look.

"Intelligence and poise are out. As is the ability to express yourself coherently. And whilst you most likely will point out physical strength or such, that's hardly relevant or important to me." Shaking her head, she said, "Oh, and I forgot vocabulary. Yours must be quite limited - after all, I wouldn't say I don't 'trust' you. But not finding you 'appealing' would be a very accurate statement indeed."

She smiled and held his hand.
'Yeah it was good, we did latitude and longitude...what are you doing now?' she asked, blushing as he kissed her.

I will request that all officals of my country send one of their children to your IST...I'll let you know how many will attend.

"Erm," Flavia said awkwardly. "Just 'erm'. How is it odd that I don't like you? I can't imagine any redeeming characteristics that you might possess."

She looked at Tom with an evaluating look.

"Intelligence and poise are out. As is the ability to express yourself coherently. And whilst you most likely will point out physical strength or such, that's hardly relevant or important to me." Shaking her head, she said, "Oh, and I forgot vocabulary. Yours must be quite limited - after all, I wouldn't say I don't 'trust' you. But not finding you 'appealing' would be a very accurate statement indeed."

Tom nodded and smiled and said "Pardon me, I may not have all those things, but I know you'll reject this, but I would like you to show me how to improve myself. I will express myself coherently from now up, my vocabulary is limited, but I am willing to improve. I will be more intelligent, and I will be better, just give me a chance Fluvia alright? I want to be more appealing to you, and I will do whatever it takes"

He hoped that she'd give him a chance so he could work up his more appealing image so that she'd like him..

"Flavia," she corrected. "Not Fluvia. If you haven't the courtesy to get my name right, I fail to see any reason to bother with you."

"Flavia," she corrected. "Not Fluvia. If you haven't the courtesy to get my name right, I fail to see any reason to bother with you."

Tom said "Flavia, I am sorry for making a mistake, I really want to fix myself to be better, I will try to be a better person. Give me one more chance please?, I feel like an idiot, but I am willing to fix myself up so that you like me..." He looked honestly pleading, but somewhat happy at the same time and said "I got your name right, so you need to bother with me.."

She quizzically rose her eyebrow. "I had to correct you. No. Final answer."

Rae was watching the dramatics along with John. She started to sneeze and sniff.
'I dont feel too good'

She quizzically rose her eyebrow. "I had to correct you. No. Final answer."

John said to Rae "Excuse me for a minute, mind you I am not dating Flalvia, I need her to help my younger brother..", and he walked to Flavia and said "Hi, how are you feeling today, sorry for my younger brother, he's a handful!, but I believe you could help him along, I think you'd motivate him to do better, I know why you don't like him, I know you dislike me for some reason, but you'd get benefits from helping him!, he'd be more intelligent, his poise would be better, and he'd have more vocabulary then he does now. He needs a smart teacher like you, plus you're in the same dorm room I believe, yes you are!" H e knew she'd have a negative response but he did a slight bow to her as to soften her up a bit and said "You cannot deny both of us are brave even if we are dumb, at least I am intelligent don't ya think?"

Rae watched and felt jealous, she had to stop it. She smiled and waved at Flavia in a friendly way, however she felt she might take it the wrong way, she waited til John had finished.

Rae saw John was going to be there a while she walked past and went to her room to do her homework.

Rae saw John was going to be there a while she walked past and went to her room to do her homework.

John said to Flavia and said "Good job of rejecting Tom, he's only my third cousin, he's not that smart, see ya, I'll see you at lunchtime.." He went up to Rae's room and knocked and said "It's John!, can I come in?"

Flavia observed Ræ wave at her. She sneered derisively back at her. Turning to John, she said, "Look, I've got nothing against you, and I certainly don't dislike you. Why, you aren't half bad at all - your brother, though, atrocious. Awkward, inept, incompetent." The girl shivered dramatically. "I could, though, tutor him...for a price. At the very least, his wits might be less dull."

'of course you can' she said, she was shaving her legs.
'that geography assignment was easy....isnt that girl nasty, I bet your glad you arent with her...well you might not be' she said, draining the water and rubbing her legs dry...

OOC: Guess I should get back into this.

IC:

Steve's offer stood outside in the hall-and Lauren, walking through the halls with her bag over her shoulder, glanced at it and smiled. 14 was two years younger than she was, and probaly a freshman-but that didn't mean she couldn't at least have a little fun with this. She took out a pen and wrote underneath Steve's advertisement:

I'm at room 35A. Knock after 5 and I'll probaly be in.
-Another Student

Lauren smiled, capping the pen, and walked off to chemistry.


Dwayne, at the same time, was finishing up english-where he had promptly found a good sleeping spot-and was on the football field for Day 1 of practice-bustin' ass. After making a big show of himself to all the guys there at first-Dwayne was overdoing himself on the first day. They had started with a basic Oklahoma drill-and Dwayne, as the runningback, had matched up against who was supposed to be the team's premier defensive end, a guy named Rich Gonzalez, after the offensive line blocker in front of him had gone down. Dwayne had promptly lowered his shoulder and blasted Gonzalez-a full 100 pounds heavier than Peterson-out of the way. If this is how it's all gonna be, D2 thought, You might as well give me that scholarship now.

Flavia observed Ræ wave at her. She sneered derisively back at her. Turning to John, she said, "Look, I've got nothing against you, and I certainly don't dislike you. Why, you aren't half bad at all - your brother, though, atrocious. Awkward, inept, incompetent." The girl shivered dramatically. "I could, though, tutor him...for a price. At the very least, his wits might be less dull."

John said "Here you go, 450 Universal Standard Dollars for tutoring him, and I agree with your assessment of him, as harsh as he may be, he has a little mental problem Flavia. I believe that your tutoring will make him into somebody you could hardly believe was Tom!, I'll be in Rae's room if you need me.." He handed her the 450$ and entered Rae's room and said after he closed the door "I am so glad I am not with Flavia, you are way nicer, and better looking then her." He kissed her on the cheek and sat down..

she smiled.
'good..' she felt a huge weight off of her shoulders, she went and sat on his lap with her arms around his neck.

'what do you want to do this evening?'

she smiled.
'good..' she felt a huge weight off of her shoulders, she went and sat on his lap with her arms around his neck.

'what do you want to do this evening?'

John said smiling as he rubbed her back "Well, I think we should go and see how Ingram's getting along, his mother died last night, so he's been quite sad lately, but he accepted my apology, my your hair smells good.." He smiled and said "Rae, I am so lucky to have a girlfriend like you, but I don't know if you're lucky to have me.." He smiled and grinned at Rae..

Flavia didn't even bother to look down at the wad of bills in her hands - it felt too light. She wasn't a person to be ripped off, and if she had to tolerate that moron, she was going to be paid handsomely. She walked up to John's dorm room and pounded on the door. "Open up!" she barked curtly. "We've got to talk!"

she smiled.
'I think I am - yeh we should go and see him' she said.
she tickled the back of his neck and got up and got changed out of her pjs.

"Open up!" she barked curtly. "We've got to talk!"

John opened the door and said barking "What do you want!, isn't 450 fricking Universal Standard Dollars enough!"

Unfortunately for Flavia, the door had opened far too wide, and revealed his girlfriend half-naked changing into her pyjamas. "Ugh," she muttered under her breath. Her loss of composure was short, for soon after she said to John, "Oi! Don't talk to me like that. Four hundred and fifty dollars? It's a pittance for a series of tutoring sessions. I'll need at least two hundred per hour of tutoring, and I expect to be paid five hours in advance. After all, it's a difficult case - Tom or whatever has some serious issues, after all."

Rae hid behind the door, she didnt want to get involved, that and the fact she was half dressed...

Steve left his history class and decided to pop into the cafeteria to see if anyone had responded to his personal. After seeing the response, he let out a "Hell yeah!," causing several students to look up at him. Well, I guess I know what I'm doing tonight, he thought happily. After thinking for several minutes while walking to his dorm, he pulled out his cell phone and quickly dialed a number. "Yes, this is Steve Preston," he said into the phone. "Can I speak to the ambassador? Hey, I need a favor. Run out to a florist and get a bouquet of flowers for me. No, I can't leave the school, I don't have a car. Yeah, just bring them to me in my dorm. Yes, I know it isn't your job to run errands for the President's son, but I'll give you $500 if you do this. Ok, thanks, see you in a bit." He sat in his dorm for about five minutes before remembering that he had Art next, and rushed off to the class, which was on the other end of the building. Damn, I hope I'm not late. Last time I showed up late I had to clean all the brushes, he thought to himself as he ran in record time to his next class.

Unfortunately for Flavia, the door had opened far too wide, and revealed his girlfriend half-naked changing into her pyjamas. "Ugh," she muttered under her breath. Her loss of composure was short, for soon after she said to John, "Oi! Don't talk to me like that. Four hundred and fifty dollars? It's a pittance for a series of tutoring sessions. I'll need at least two hundred per hour of tutoring, and I expect to be paid five hours in advance. After all, it's a difficult case - Tom or whatever has some serious issues, after all."

John smiled and handed her 4,500 Universal Standard dollars and said "Is that enough Flavia?, sorry for being so rough, I have had a bad day.."

"It'll do," she said as she placed the bills in her jacket. "Good day, sir," Flavia added, the 'sir' dripping with scorn.

"It'll do," she said as she placed the bills in her jacket. "Good day, sir," Flavia added, the 'sir' dripping with scorn.

John said "Good day m'aam!", his tone dripping with a mixture of hate/scorn/sarcasm and said to Rae as he locked the door "Ah, that's all over with, she's as evil as Ingram says she is.."

'dont worry about her' she said, wrapping her arms around his neck her body close to his.

'what shall we do? I dont think Ingrams in because I cant hear the console going' she said.

'dont worry about her' she said, wrapping her arms around his neck her body close to his.

'what shall we do? I dont think Ingrams in because I cant hear the console going' she said.

John smiled and opened the door and said "It's my room too, hey there's a third bed in the room, and as he sat down, and wrapped his arm's about her and said "How do I look Rae?"

'you look fine? why do you ask' she said stroking his cheek, as she sat on his lap.

'you look fine? why do you ask' she said stroking his cheek, as she sat on his lap.

John smiled stroking her hair, and said "I just was curious, you look beautiful tonight.."

she smiled and looked at her clothes.
'what with my baggy pants and big trampy jumper' she said rolling her eyes.
'thanks anyway' she said.

she smiled and looked at her clothes.
'what with my baggy pants and big trampy jumper' she said rolling her eyes.
'thanks anyway' she said.

John smiled and said "Well, what is your favorite movie, we could watch that?, Rae, would you be my girlfriend?" He stroked her hair and smiled and said "I am so glad I am with you and not that snotty Londinian girl, oh my goodness, Ingram was right about her!"

Rae was slightly suspicious, but she played along.
'of course I will' she said.
'I like...i know this is sad by Beauty & The Beast'

OOC: i gotta go now...parents are home and i got horses to sort out...adios...xxxx

OOC: Alrighty, see you later..

IC:

John smiled and said "Let's watch that when I find it, if I can't, can we watch National Treasure?" He stroked Rae's back and grinned, and sat on the floor and called Steve Preston's cell phone number, which he had learned from someone the day before..

Lauren left chemistry, slinging her bag across her shoulder. She didn't know if whoever had posted the note had read it or not-but either way, 5 was closing in, and she said she would be back by 5-whoever had posted the note would see that, at least. She had a commitment to make, regardless if she was intent on seeing a relationship through. She trekked back across campus towards her dorm, looking to avoid Dwayne as the stocky athelete, two girls on him, was talking it up.

Ingram was doing sit ups, trying to forget about what happened last night. he hadnt told john or Rae yet, but they didnt ask. 432..433..434 Ingram stopped and got up. he didnt get Rae's message. he hoped John and Rae had a good time. he left the room and went over to John "hey John, what's up?"

John grinned and said "I apologize Ingram for my earlier outburst, you were right about one thing, that Flavia person is foul indeed, want to watch a movie with us?"

John grinned and said "I apologize Ingram for my earlier outburst, you were right about one thing, that Flavia person is foul indeed, want to watch a movie with us?"

"sure, sounds good" he said

John said "Well, (They walked into John and Ingram's dorm), what movies do you like?, so that we can all agree on a movie to watch.." He sat down in the beanbag chair, tired from the long day..

"your chioce" he said "i dont really mind"

"your chioce" he said "i dont really mind"

John said "Alrighty, Red Flag it is!", he picked up the movie, which had a picture of John Macked holding a pistol in a James Bond like pose, with a burning hammer and sickle flag in the background..

As 5:00 rolled around, Steve started heading towards the dorm that was listed on the personal ad's reply. He had a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other and was dressed casually, wearing a blue polo-style shirt and a pair of khaki pants. As he approached the door, he knocked and held his breath with anticipation. "Well, here's hoping this goes well," he said to himself.

OOC: For reference, Steve is about 5'7'' tall, kind of muscular, and has brown hair and green eyes.

"sounds good, and for next movie night, i suggest a movie-Freedom fighters-the story of the Caz'e-Cyconunt war"

"sounds good, and for next movie night, i suggest a movie-Freedom fighters-the story of the Caz'e-Cyconunt war"

John nodded and said "Yeah, that'd be a good idea, I'll put subtitles on for our pleasure.." He did so, and he started the movie...

It started with John Macked sitting in his office and reading intel reports of the communist group that was formed that day, "I must stop this at all costs, the Falcon's will be perfect", and how he had government backing to attack the CCP (Calizorinstan Communist Party), near Miramar, where they were trying to get on the base, and how he stopped them, and then the leading up to the climax, Battle of Alpine, and how he and his Falcon's fought valiantly during the urban battle, truthfully depicting his showdown with the CCP Commander with a M1911 pistol, and the climax, the Battle of Sacramento, how he was inserted into a bunker entrance, with 60 men, and how they were cornered, and reduced to 20 men, then to 11 men standing, including Macked.

It showed how the foreign help of Stricknastian spec ops, how they won the battle, and John Macked was promoted to head of special operations, and eventually Foreign Minister...

John said after the 2 hour 30 minute movie "How was it Ingram and Rae?"

"good, very good" said Ingram. he showed John the cover of the movie he brought. it showed 8 Cazelian marines walking fowards, some of them carrying their helmets by their sides. behind hem there was lots of fog, and dead bodies around them. in white print at the bottom it said-

Based on a true story

"it's true" he said 'my father fought in that war, as did my uncle, it was long and bloody, yet democracy prevailed in the end"

"it's true" he said 'my father fought in that war, as did my uncle, it was long and bloody, yet democracy prevailed in the end"

John said "Sure, go ahead and put it in, we can watch this one, it looks exciting, was your father a Cazelian marine?"

John said "Sure, go ahead and put it in, we can watch this one, it looks exciting, was your father a Cazelian marine?"

"yes, he was. that's the reason he decided to give up his life for his country" he put the tape in. it started with 4 black hawk helicopters flying over an arabian style city. about a minute into the movie gunshots and rockets take down 3 of the helicopters. one of the marines, who looked exactly like Jonathan Hasley, fell from his helicopter and landed on one of the building. the rest of the movie was about the friendship and sadness of the war, and in the end, Jonathan Hasley kills the Psycotic dictator with his sword. then it says-

Dedicated to the men who lost their lives in the war

OOC-sorry for the delay

As 5:00 rolled around, Steve started heading towards the dorm that was listed on the personal ad's reply. He had a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other and was dressed casually, wearing a blue polo-style shirt and a pair of khaki pants. As he approached the door, he knocked and held his breath with anticipation. "Well, here's hoping this goes well," he said to himself.

OOC: For reference, Steve is about 5'7'' tall, kind of muscular, and has brown hair and green eyes.

Before Lauren got to the door, Dwayne, rolling back from practice covered and sweat and carrying his pads, roared with laughter: "You look like Flavah Flave!"

He patted Steve on the shoulder with his right hand, oozing sweat and with a streak of blood from gashing a tackler: "You do lucky wit' her, man, you gonna need it."

He opened the door to his room-right next door-before Lauren opened up her door, scowling toward Dwayne as the muscular runningback walked into his solitary room: "Don't mind him, he's always like that."

With that, Lauren's eyes darted from Peterson's figure to Steve, noticing both the box and the flowers: "Aww...for me?"

She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek-she stood roughly-eye-to-eye height wise-before opening the door wider: "Come on in, I'm my own roommate, so there's noone else around right now."

"You're welcome," Steve said to the girl. "So, I'm Steve Preston, and as you know from the personal ad, I'm from Central Prestonia. But enough about me, I'd like to hear about you. What's your name and where are you from?"

"I'm Lauren Winters, I'm from Amazonia, just like him next to me," she said, rolling her eyes and jabbing a thumb towards the direction of Dwayne's room. "I'm our Chancellor's daughter, but nowadays, that's not much of a good thing, which is half the reason why I'm over here. But it's fun over here, at least it has been for the first few days."

She was getting into her talkative mood, easy to do, but she had absolutely no idea what the guy was about-maybe he was an extrovert like her, or maybe he was totally unsocial, it was time to find out.

"That's cool that you're the Chancellor's daughter. I know that feeling, my dad's President. It can be cool sometimes but it got old after awhile, especially with the security following me around all the time. I'm glad to be here because I'm not always on watch and I can actually meet people. When I was back home, some teen magazine voted me "cutest teen celebrity" or something, I don't even remember because I didn't read the mag, I found out on the internet. Anyway, a bunch of girls wrote love letters to me but I never got to respond because dad didn't think it was a good idea for me to be out in public on a date where the paparazzi could make me their latest headline. Looking back, the girls probably only liked me because the mag told them too, but it still sucked not being able to do normal stuff. But anyway, I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad I met you. You seem pretty cool."

"so? how was the movie?" he asked

Rae woke up cuddled next to John, she was still in her clothes and so was he, she guessed they fell asleep after the film had finished.

Bump

Ingram turned off the credits and went to sleep. the next morning he headed off for breakfast, eating 4 strips of bacon and 2 eggs. he then headed off to class

Rae left John to sleep she left a kiss on his cheek, and shortly caught up with Ingram, she patted him on the shoulder.
'heyyy' she said smiling.

John woke up and headed down for breakfast and saw Rae and kissed her on the cheek and said "Good morning Rae..."

Earlier in breakfast , Rae sat with John and rubbed his thigh and returned the kiss.
'I feel bad I didnt actually get changed into pj's, i feel skanky....shower after class I think' she said, sipping her orange juice.

John nodded rubbing her back and said "Ah well, you still look lovely anyway.., I sure hope Flavia doesn't come down here, and scorn me with her looks again, hah!, (he dropped down to a whisper), I am inclined to think she's snotty.."

she smiled and kissed his cheek, she liked him rubbing her back, she looked at the time.
'id better go hand in my assignment to my sister' she said,
'i'll see you in class' she said, she walked quickly her little waist wiggling, she ran and handed in her paper then went to Math.

John said to Ingram "It appears as though it's time for history!" He ran off to history class and sat down in a chair..

John said to Ingram "It appears as though it's time for history!" He ran off to history class and sat down in a chair..

"that's funny" said Ingram "it appears were in the same class" Ingram took a seat

Flavia had already been at history class, leafing through the large chapter on the Democide within British Londinium. As Ingram and John entered the room, she sighed heavily and muttered, "Not these lummoxes again."

But, hey, that Calizorinstani asshat sure paid me a lot of money, she thought reassuringly. Too bad I don't give refunds. Muhahaha!

Rae was starting to really settle, she had a good friend and boyfriend, she got all her books out and studied hard, they were doing Pearl Harbour and WW2. The lesson was soon over and she decided to go outside and get some fresh air, her head started to throb. She saw a small pure white cat, it looked scared, it had a cut on its leg, she knelt down and it came to her, she took it up to her room and healed its wounds.

"that's funny" said Ingram "it appears were in the same class" Ingram took a seat

John nodded and they were doing an essay on World War II, and an essay of their free choice, he made his about the Calizorinstani Communist Uprising, and his thoughts on how the conflict was important to Calizorinstan.

"That's cool that you're the Chancellor's daughter. I know that feeling, my dad's President. It can be cool sometimes but it got old after awhile, especially with the security following me around all the time. I'm glad to be here because I'm not always on watch and I can actually meet people. When I was back home, some teen magazine voted me "cutest teen celebrity" or something, I don't even remember because I didn't read the mag, I found out on the internet. Anyway, a bunch of girls wrote love letters to me but I never got to respond because dad didn't think it was a good idea for me to be out in public on a date where the paparazzi could make me their latest headline. Looking back, the girls probably only liked me because the mag told them too, but it still sucked not being able to do normal stuff. But anyway, I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad I met you. You seem pretty cool."

"Being on watch is bad," Lauren laughed, "but you and I have different watches. The popular world all likes the athletes of our country so Dwayne here gets all the stardom. I just have the Emperor's intelligence personnel watching me since my dad's been verbally against the Emperor's policy. But you get used to it after a while, having eyes watching...it's good to be in a place where they aren't. Good to have someone who actually looks at me for who my personality is," she finished, smiling at Steve.

John nodded and they were doing an essay on World War II, and an essay of their free choice, he made his about the Calizorinstani Communist Uprising, and his thoughts on how the conflict was important to Calizorinstan.

Flavia leaned over and peered at John's essay. It was the standard tripe one would expect of an unintelligent moron from a backwater nation that made the Third World look like paradise.

"Bah," she said to him. "I spit in your essay's general direction." She hesitated before saying, "Metaphorically." Flavia didn't trust him to understand that she was not going to literally spit on the paper.

She went back to writing her report, a finely-crafted and highly elegant piece detailing fascist ideologies within the Axis nations during the war...she was in support of them, naturally, because Flavia enjoyed stirring up trouble and present a different point of view.

John understood it and gave her a glare and said "If there's a war and British Londinium get's invaded, Calizorinstan is just going to standby and laugh as it get's destroyed, I spit on you, metaphorically speaking..." John's essay seemed finely crafted, to him, it detailed the communist way of thinking and why it was a danger to the government, and he even added in various events that lead to the communist uprising..

Rae went back down to the class to wait for John, she handed her piece in early as she knew what they were doing, so she had done half of it already, She cuddled the cat, she was soft and purring loudly.

"I'm not sure you mean it entirely metaphorically, John," Flavia replied scornfully. "You've sure got a lot of drool on your face. And, of course, your country won't support mine because of some moron couldn't handle a little criticism. And don't even pretend that rubbish you've scrawled on that paper is any good - narrow-minded anti-communist propaganda straight out of the 1950s."

Peterson stuck in history class-not ideal, and some girl several in front of him was fiddling around with some guy over their essays...whatever. Peterson was half writing an essay, half preparing a touchdown dance for later in the afternoon. History was the last thing on his mind, but at least the two who didn't seem to get along-they were both down his hallway, oddly enough-were providing a bit of amusement. This wasn't English; there was no place really to be able to slump into a corner and sleep.
His essay was coming slowly, currently two paragraphs about Allied tension in the war, which Peterson really had no idea about-about half the essay was truth and the other half was excess wording to make it sound better. He wasn't a real student, why was he doing this...he should be in the gym lifting, but instead this school wanted him to have solid classes. Whatever.

"I'm not sure you mean it entirely metaphorically, John," Flavia replied scornfully. "You've sure got a lot of drool on your face. And, of course, your country won't support mine because of some moron couldn't handle a little criticism. And don't even pretend that rubbish you've scrawled on that paper is any good - narrow-minded anti-communist propaganda straight out of the 1950s."

John retorted "Yeah?, so do you I see?, I meant it entirely metaphorically Flavia!, I sure apperciate more then ever Automagfreek!, I can tell you're a commie already!, Communist idealology is not apperciated in Calizorinstan, they tried to take over the country, so you support the Ba'athist's, the Red Stars, the CCP!" He was ticking off on his fingers how many terrorist in Calizornstan organizations she agreed with "I wish I could've liked you, but your flaws, like mine, stand out too much, my "rubbish", I've done hundreds of essay's in Calizorinstan. Quite frankly if you're the average Londinian, I will give flowers to the people that invade it. Your essay is the one that's "rubbish", narrow minded, anti-democracy Nazi views just reeking from the worlds, Pew!" He mocked it, pretending to hold his nose, he knew that the reeking was metaphorical.

"Fascist, you dolt," countered Flavia. "Fascism and Nazism are not the same. Perhaps if you weren't failing this class, you'd understand that." She picked up her essay and stood up. "Now, I've got to turn this in. Otherwise I won't get my one hundred percent."

Rae heard the shouting inside, she walked in gingerly with the cat in her arms.
'just shut the fuck up both of you' Rae said, she sighed and walked back upstairs.

Dwayne rocked back in his chair and laughed aloud at both of them, despite the others around still working. It was funny, and he didn't really care about academics anyway...besides, the girl who was using big words and the emotional guy were right out of a sitcom. It was better than watching one on TV, because it was live and in perfect color...

"Fascist, you dolt," countered Flavia. "Fascism and Nazism are not the same. Perhaps if you weren't failing this class, you'd understand that." She picked up her essay and stood up. "Now, I've got to turn this in. Otherwise I won't get my one hundred percent."

John scowled and said "I know perfectly well the difference between Fascism and Nazism!, Nazism is national socialism and Fascism was what Mussolini was!, I can tell the difference you dolt!, you are the one failing!, how I wish that you'd never attended this school, I hope you fail miserably!" He gave a laugh that sounded like a snarl and said "My future is in the military, not some "university professor" job like you, I am the tough rambo guy.."

"If I had a scimitar," Flavia grumbled. "I would gut that cat and nail its withered, dead corpse to her door..." She walked out after turning in her essay, muttering about finding a good, sharp steak knife.

"Being on watch is bad," Lauren laughed, "but you and I have different watches. The popular world all likes the athletes of our country so Dwayne here gets all the stardom. I just have the Emperor's intelligence personnel watching me since my dad's been verbally against the Emperor's policy. But you get used to it after a while, having eyes watching...it's good to be in a place where they aren't. Good to have someone who actually looks at me for who my personality is," she finished, smiling at Steve.
"Yeah, that's my policy, I don't care about looks or money, it's all about what kind of person you are. So, what are you planning to do when you graduate? I was going to join the army academy in my country and become an officer, then go into politics but now that I look at it, it's too stressful. I think I might study medicine."

"If I had a scimitar," Flavia grumbled. "I would gut that cat and nail its withered, dead corpse to her door..." She walked out after turning in her essay, muttering about finding a good, sharp steak knife.

John smirked at her retreating form, having won the argument, and having lost several slugs* of respect for Flavia, and he walked over to Rae at lunchtime "Hey Rae, I think you should beware of Flavia, she now want's to kill your cat, I'd advise you hide the cat from Flavia.." John kissed Rae on the cheek and said "Flavia started an argument over the merits of our essay's, it turned ugly fast, she and I started calling each other names.."

OOC; * Credit to Leafinistan for this saying, slug's is appearently a measure of weight...*

"Military, really?" Lauren said. "I guess it'd be fun. I want to do something with people, so I was thinking either politics or foreign affairs, go represent our affairs in other nations...if we still even have politics around in the future. I couldn't study academics forever, I have to get out eventually."

OOC: A 'slug' is a measurement for spacing in documents and such, not a measure of weight. And I'd hardly say you won.
IC:

Sadly enough, John had seriously thought that she was serious about murdering a cat. But Flavia was not one to pass up a good opportunity to toy with the kid's mind. As John and his self-described "skanky" girlfriend (more like a transvestite hooker if you asked her) ate lunch in the cafeteria, she snuck a typed letter underneath their dorm door, which detailed a horrifically gruesome execution of a feline organism, and was signed with a large X.

"Yeah, I could see myself as an ambassador, I'm good with people and I've always wanted to travel. So, what's Amazonia like? I don't believe I've heard much about it, maybe a travel article or two, but of course those brochures can never sum up an entire country."

OOC: A slug's also a round of ammo, but I'm not sure how that applies...

IC:

"If you can overlook our mired political situation, it's really nice," Lauren said. "Our government's divided and clashing, but our natural landscape and climate's great. The country itself's a continent-like thing with a few smaller surrounding islands (OOC: RL Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Tasmania, geographically speaking), but a lot of different environments. A lotta desert, but even that's nice, if you can stand the heat and aren't stranded out in it. Our northern island is mostly a tropical rainforest, while our eastern-most one is temperate and gets snow sometimes. It's really a lot, and there's a lot to do...but, that's assuming you can overlook our socio-political situations. What's Prestonia like, I've never been there."

OOC: It's a shame that my character IC and yours can't get along, I'd like them too, but your character is kinda hardly likable..

IC:

John hadn't thought she was serious, but he was kind ticked, but he walked up to Flavia and said "I'd like to apologize for my behavior, I mean I respect your view, and I want to be friends with you, but I don't know how I could, with you being rude to me, and I want to be your friend, but you seem to be in the way, could you help me on my intelligance and poise, those are my weak areas.."

It's like a puppy dog, Flavia thought as John spoke to her. You can kick and kick it but it keeps coming back. Except I wouldn't kick a dog.

Flavia walked past John, acting as if she could not hear him, and headed down to the cafeteria for a bite to eat.

"As dad is so fond of saying, the land's as diverse as it's people. We've got some awesome beaches in the north, perfect for surfing. The center of the country's got like a subtropical environment (OOC: Like Florida/Bahamas in RL), there's a bit of desert in the southwest, and mountains running on the southern border. Off the coast there's a few groups of islands claimed by us but we haven't really explored the area, Navy ships and civilians are always calling the Department of Maps and Geography and reporting new islands. But in short, Prestonia's truly an awesome place. Best part in my opinion is that it never gets below 70 degrees unless you go up in the mountains."

Rae nodded.
'Yes I heard on the grapevine, shes in a safe place...she needs a name...' she smiling as John kissed her. She finished lunch and waited for him and she held out her hand and they walked out together...

Rae nodded.
'Yes I heard on the grapevine, shes in a safe place...she needs a name...' she smiling as John kissed her. She finished lunch and waited for him and she held out her hand and they walked out together...

John decided from there out, he would be ignoring here and he hoped he could insult here at every oppurtiunity.., and he said "Snotty Flavia doesn't really intend to kill the cat, she just hates me and want's to get to my, ah how I wish I could crush that snotty jerk!" He kissed her and they walked up to the room and he said "I think you're a better girlfriend then Flavia, for you're nice, cute and smart, and she lack's all three.."

she held his hand tight.
'her she is, Im going to call her Cally....'Rae said, lifting the cat out of her little box Rae stole from the kitchen.
Isnt she beautiful.

John smiled and said "She's as cute as you Rae, I don't care what Flavia say's, you're the best girlfriend I've ever had.., say why don't we call that Steve Preston fellow to come over to our dorm for dinner, he's a lot nicer then Flavia.."

'If Ingram doesnt mind' she said,
'Ill cook my famous spaghetti bolognese, im sure everyone will like it'

She smiled and held the cat close...it purred happily and loudly.

'If Ingram doesnt mind' she said,

John smiled and said "He probably won't, ah, I bet you cook, and Flavia doesnt', ah, a cooking girl is very important to me.." He kissed her, and petted Cally, who purred and licked John's hand, and John called Steve Preston on his cell phone "Hi, Steve, this is John Arnold whom you met at the airport, you can come to my dorm, number 575 tonight for dinner, you're invited.."

'stop going on about that girl' Rae said,
'I had better go and get some ingredients...can you look after Cally, don't let her out of your sight' Rae got her money and a list and popped down the shop, she apreciated the brisk walk...

John smiled and said "Sorry Rae, I'll ignore her and I'll promise not to talk about her again in the future.. Alright then...", and he sat on the couch and petted Cally and played his Playstation 3 console..

Rae came back with all the things she needed, she swooped up Cally and put her on the window sill, she sat there majestically as if waiting.

'you wanna help me?' she asked.

Rae came back with all the things she needed, she swooped up Cally and put her on the window sill, she sat there majestically as if waiting.

'you wanna help me?' she asked.

John smiled and said "Of course Rae, I will.."

'stir this...' she said, she put him in charge of the sauce, a rich mince, pepper mushroom smell made the room smell very italian. she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and rested her head on his shoulder.

'stir this...' she said, she put him in charge of the sauce, a rich mince, pepper mushroom smell made the room smell very italian. she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and rested her head on his shoulder.

John mixed the sauce and sighed with contentment and he said "Rae, I am glad you're my girlfriend, I love you loads.." After a while he made the sauce and said "What's next Rae?"

John smiled and said "He probably won't, ah, I bet you cook, and Flavia doesnt', ah, a cooking girl is very important to me.." He kissed her, and petted Cally, who purred and licked John's hand, and John called Steve Preston on his cell phone "Hi, Steve, this is John Arnold whom you met at the airport, you can come to my dorm, number 575 tonight for dinner, you're invited.."
"Thanks for inviting me, do you mind if I bring somebody? I met a girl from Amazonia, Lauren Winters, and I'd like to bring her. So, what are you serving?"

'well we just turn the hob off, and at least its done then when people get here we can warm it up and serve it' she said smiling.

OOC: tg....

"Thanks for inviting me, do you mind if I bring somebody? I met a girl from Amazonia, Lauren Winters, and I'd like to bring her. So, what are you serving?"

John said on the phone while cooking "Italian food, I don't mind if you bring Lauren, it'd be nice to meet somebody, see you in 2 hours Steve.."

John said on the phone while cooking "Italian food, I don't mind if you bring Lauren, it'd be nice to meet somebody, see you in 2 hours Steve.."
"Sounds good, see you then," Steve said before hanging up and dialing Lauren's number. "Hey Lauren, my buddy John from Calizorinstan and his girlfriend Rae invited us to dinner, want to go?"

OOC: u get the tg?

IC:
'so Steves coming with 'Lauren'? sounds good!' she said smiling, she hugged John and fried some garlic bread.

Rae looked appreciatively then kinda put out.
'so I don't usually?' she asked.
'this isnt a fancy occasion, just a casual dinner....but I will wear it to keep you happy'

OOC: u get the tg?

IC:
'so Steves coming with 'Lauren'? sounds good!' she said smiling, she hugged John and fried some garlic bread.

OOC: Yeah I got it, and responded...

IC: John said smiling "I have to run down to the store to get a few "items", will be back.."

John went down to a fancy clothes store and bought a dress and stockings, and some fancy high heeled shoes for Rae, and brought them back up with some soda's and various drinks and said "I bought some fancy clothes for you Rae so you'll look nice.."

Rae looked appreciatively then kinda put out.
'so I don't usually?' she asked.
'this isnt a fancy occasion, just a casual dinner....but I will wear it to keep you happy'


She went and got changed and came back and gave him a swirl.
'good enough?'

She went and got changed and came back and gave him a swirl.
'good enough?'

John smiled and said "You look wonderful, I just bought it, not because I though you didn't but, because I wanted to get a gift for you.." He gave her a hug and sat down and said "I did tell Steve the dorm room number.."

'ah ok, we'll wait for them and then serve up' she said, she sat next to him.
'hope they like it' she said almost nervously.

'ah ok, we'll wait for them and then serve up' she said, she sat next to him.
'hope they like it' she said almost nervously.

John smirked "I gave it a little taste test, and it was wonderful, yes, seriously I did.." He smiled and rubbed her back a bit and said "They'll be here any minute now.."

OOC: Cali, check your telegrams.

Ingram knocked on the door "something smells great? do you guys have Pizza?" he said "can i come in?"

Ingram knocked on the door "something smells great? do you guys have Pizza?" he said "can i come in?"

John smiled and opened the door and said "We have some Italian food, we've invited Steve Preston and his girlfriend over for dinner, care to join us Ingram?"

Rae smiled.
'yes please join us, it wouldnt be right without you'

"Sounds good, see you then," Steve said before hanging up and dialing Lauren's number. "Hey Lauren, my buddy John from Calizorinstan and his girlfriend Rae invited us to dinner, want to go?"

"I hope it's not too fancy, because all my fancy stuff is dirty," Lauren laughed into the phone, "but sure, I'd be happy to go."

Rae looked at the clock, they'd be here soon, she did feel over dressed, she slipped into a more casual dress, that was a little shorter. She sat and waited, the dinner was served, she just needed guests.

Rae smiled.
'yes please join us, it wouldnt be right without you'

"thank you, i feel honored" he said "so, what smells so good?"

' a recipe....for bolognese...formulated 100% by moi' she said hugging him tight and letting him choose where he sat.

Steve and Lauren arrived, dressed casually, and sat down. "Hey, thanks for having us over, I'm looking forward to tasting Rae's creation, it sure smells tasty. This is Lauren Winters, from Amazonia," Steve said, nodding toward the girl next to him.

Marcus got up out of his chair and extended his arm out to greet the Dean. “Likewise, it’s good to meet you as well.” Before following the dean in, he grabbed his brief case and made sure his front overcoat was buttoned. This was going to be an important meeting and he wanted to represent himself and his country well.
"Please, sit down." the Dean said. "So, you're applying for a job here. Please, tell me a little about your background in the education industry and the areas you wish to teach in." he said.

“Thanks, I think I’ll start by asking where my dorm is.” After being asked if this was his first time in ViZion, Jorge responded in a low-key manner, “Yeah, this is sort of a big change for me. I really haven’t spent much time out of my home country. With everything going on politically, it’s kind of seems like a bad time for a change, but I wanted to see what’s outside of the Aztec National League.”
"Ahh, yes, first time in ViZion, it's a pretty common thing here at the IST. Infact, many have never been out of their native country. So, the IST is really a perfect place for teenagers such as yourself to learn not only in classes, but about other countries and their cultures. It's quite a unique experience." he said, "As for your dorm, let's head on up to your dorm." he finished.

OOC: Being busy w/ a war and peace talk until a certain someone ignored it, I haven't checked in here in a few days. As such, for those of you trying to talk to me/staff, please post again and I'll respond. Sorry about the delay!

"Please, sit down." the Dean said. "So, you're applying for a job here. Please, tell me a little about your background in the education industry and the areas you wish to teach in." he said.

Although Marcus never thought of himself as a cocky or vain individual, he did take a small pleasure in talking about himself. He did have some rather impressive credentials and accomplishments; though it was rare he had the chance to discuss them.

“Yes, well, I am applying for a position to be a teacher; my fields of expertise are in government and economics. In government, my interests are mostly around government structure and legal systems, and as for economics, most of my studies have revolved around macroeconomics. In my education, I received my BA in public policy and economics in 1978 from the National Autonomous University of México. In 1984 I received two doctorate degrees, again both in political science and economics from the same institution. After that, I served as a legislative analyst for one of the legislators in the Aztec National League’s Tlatocayotl Tlactli (the High Soviet Senate) from 1998-2000. In 2000, I received my teaching credentials and began lecturing at the University of Veracruz for three years, and in 2004, I made a permanent switch to teaching secondary education sources. I ended up preferring teaching high school students – although it’s a greater challenger, it’s a better fit for me.”

He opened his briefcase and put it on his lap – “I have a copy of my doctorate thesis for both of my classes, in addition to some of the accolades I’ve received from academia in my nation. In addition is a resume.” He stopped for a second, noticing one of his more valued possessions. Getting back on topic, he said “I also have a letter regarding my nomination by the Aztec government to teach at this school.”

Unsure if the interviewer had any more questions, he said, “Is there anything more I could answer?”

"Ahh, yes, first time in ViZion, it's a pretty common thing here at the IST. Infact, many have never been out of their native country. So, the IST is really a perfect place for teenagers such as yourself to learn not only in classes, but about other countries and their cultures. It's quite a unique experience."[/I] he said, "As for your dorm, let's head on up to your dorm." he finished.

Jorge nodded and followed Riggs to the dorm. The school was certainly going to be a different experience for Jorge. The schools of the Aztec National League were a mixed lot – the schools constructed after the revolution were very modern in design; designed to be incentives for the previously poor, mostly indigenous neighborhoods to clean up their cities and houses. The schools that had survived the revolution and were built in the late 19th and early 20th century by the Mexica Union, the government in place before the ANL, were great, neo-classical structures that added to the grace and elegance of the neighborhoods and business districts of the elite of the time. It was fairly ironic – they were beautiful structures, but were a somber reminder of the ugly contrast of glaring inequality before the revolutions.

Jorge looked around the school, noticing the many different cultures that were represented their. It made him feel a bit less worried about being the only Aztec at the school. Although the ANL wasn’t exactly the world’s worst enemy, they have had their fair share of run-ins. The people of the country have large number of stereotypes as well, or at least that’s what the media reported. Curious, Jorge asked Cliff, “With all these cultures and different people, are there ever any problems, like fights and things like that? Or are things pretty calm?”

Steve and Lauren arrived, dressed casually, and sat down. "Hey, thanks for having us over, I'm looking forward to tasting Rae's creation, it sure smells tasty. This is Lauren Winters, from Amazonia," Steve said, nodding toward the girl next to him.

John shook Lauren's hand and said "I'm John Arnold, I guess I have to tell you, son of the president of Calizorinstan.., here's my previous occupation before I came here, that I am about to take up again.." He flicked a picture up on the T.V of him in a front seat of a fighter (A F-4D Phantom II to be exact) that looked like this: http://www.air-and-space.com/20051022%20Edwards/DSC_1379%20F-4D%20NX749CF%20left%20front%20taxiing%20l.jpg


John smiled and said "Yes, I was a fighter jock, in fact before I came here, I've gotten 6 air to air kills before in that plane, yes, I am an ace.."

At VDB we would like to request that you accept Ryan Getzlaf, age 12, heir to one of the four thrones, into your International School For Teens.

"impressive" said Ingram "although i killed 8 MiG-29s about a year ago during a fight with a deserter army, no mean to brag"

"impressive" said Ingram "although i killed 8 MiG-29s about a year ago during a fight with a deserter army, no mean to brag"

John smiiled and said "Impressive also, what kind of fighter jet where you flying Ingram?"

John smiiled and said "Impressive also, what kind of fighter jet where you flying Ingram?"

"F/A-11 Imperiator, bsically the F-14 with lower speed and better turning and dogfighting capability. it's also a 2 seater"

"F/A-11 Imperiator, bsically the F-14 with lower speed and better turning and dogfighting capability. it's also a 2 seater"

John smiled and said "The current foreign minister flew F-14D's, and I like em, but the old Phantom, ah, it's still flying in our service, we've just acquired some E model phantoms, and RF's too, ah, I did did 3 kills in a F-9C Barracuda, it looks like this." He flicked on the screen to reveal the F-9:

Lauren smiled, "I don't know anything about flying, but that sounds pretty good. Great to meet you."

Lauren smiled, "I don't know anything about flying, but that sounds pretty good. Great to meet you."

John smiled and went and changed into a flight suit, with a blue military V cap and sat down and said "Thanks Lauren, and I met Steve here, when I arrived here in my private airliner.."

"Private airliner, lucky," she replied, "they just sent me and Dwayne over on some scheduled flight that didn't have very many people on it."

"Private airliner, lucky," she replied, "they just sent me and Dwayne over on some scheduled flight that didn't have very many people on it."

John sighed and said "Yeah, I was scheduled to fly on Calizorinstan Imperial, but a time rush made me go on the private one instead, oh, the British Londinian girl Flavia, everytime she sees Rae, she sneers at her, and think's that my essay's are stupid "rubbish" compared to her "elegant" writing, I am gald that Flavia isn't my girlfriend, she can be quite snotty.."

"Is that that girl who keeps arguing in the hallway?" Lauren asked, frowning. "I haven't personally met her, but she seems like she needs to attend anger management or something like that to get her issues under control."

"Is that that girl who keeps arguing in the hallway?" Lauren asked, frowning. "I haven't personally met her, but she seems like she needs to attend anger management or something like that to get her issues under control."

John said grimly "Yes, that is here, she does need to attend anger management, and respect of other's heritage school!, she seem's to have a "holier then thou" attitude towards me, and she doesn't think Rae is respectable, even though she is.."

"So she's one of those spoiled people," Lauren said. "We should prank her room for the fun of it."

"So she's one of those spoiled people," Lauren said. "We should prank her room for the fun of it."

John nodded and said "Yep, she seems the type that won't prank us back, so we can do it without fear of retribution I think.."

Rae smiled at John was pleased he was sticking up for her she squeezed his hand gently.
'Is the pasta good? 'she asked everyone.
'I made a surprise dessert as well' she said

Rae smiled at John was pleased he was sticking up for her she squeezed his hand gently.
'Is the pasta good? 'she asked everyone.
'I made a surprise dessert as well' she said

John smiled and said "Oh yes Rae it is, it's wonderful, but I may be slightly biased as my girlfriend made it.." He rubber her hand and then drank some of his milk...

She smiled and looked around the table, they all looked happy- she turned and saw Cally eating the last bit of mince she didnt use.

She smiled and looked around the table, they all looked happy- she turned and saw Cally eating the last bit of mince she didnt use.

John grinned and said "I remember one time, flying my first combat mission against the Khilistani's, (the mongol's of Calizorinstan if you will), in my F-4D, I took a bunch of flak from them, and then I turned hard right, and a Khilistani flew by in a Mig 25 Foxbat, I thought that surely he would climb but he didn't, and I got a lock on him, and I shot him down.., and then I nearly had to bail out, for a SAM missed me, and my plane was on fire, I was 17 then, I managed to land the plane at March AFB, where I started from.."

"It's great," Lauren said, truthfully. The meal actually was good-compared especially to the stuff this school was cranking out as "meals", this was heaven itself.

'thanks Lauren, feel free to come in whenever, my mum bought me loadsa food, if the stuff down there is crap, I can cook whatever' Rae said, she listened meanwhile intently to Johns story.

'Just thank god your still here today' she said smiling softly with a warm glow in her eyes.

'Just thank god your still here today' she said smiling softly with a warm glow in her eyes.

John smiled and said "At least I wasn't bored, I welcomed a struggle for my life, the next mission I flew an observation mission in an outdated OP-51 Mustang, with cameras, I was supposed to find their camp and report, I found it, but AAA fire tore up my plane, and on the way back to March, my plane expolded, but not before I bailed out, and I was still in enemy territory.., I had to fight a gurillia war on the way out, and I was almost confirmed KIA by the Air Force, but when I got back, I got the Medal of Honor.."

a taxi pulls up and out get a Man in battle dress he pulls out a backpack and a steel locker and the pay the driver

"so this the place they want me to check out" he said to himself as he puts on the backpack picks up the locker then goes to look for someone so he could sign in

she smiled.
'Im proud of you' she said, she got up and tidied everything away, she went into her room and applied some vaseline her lips were getting dry and her skin in general, her brown arms were almost dusty. She was worried, she went down to the infirmery passing a man.

'Hey....do you need to sign in? are you lost?' she asked, hiding her arms.

'Hey....do you need to sign in? are you lost?' she asked, hiding her arms.

John smiled and said to Rae "Thank you dear", and then he said to Lauren and Steve "So, I am lucky to be here today, I guess that thinking straight and being calm helped me to survive.."

she smiled.

"yes ma-am i'am"said the Man who 19 but look older

'well I will take you to Mary' she said, she walked cautiously.
'are you an education inspector?' she asked.

she directed him to marys office and dinged the bell.

"no ma-am my government sent me here as a Student to check this place out"said the man

'ah right...well...umm...yeh if you ever want good food *whispers* the canteens not great...come up to the first dorm off the left of the big stairs' she said smiling.

'Hmmph...I guess Marys gone...it is 6pm in the evening' Rae said looking at her watch.

'ah right...well...umm...yeh if you ever want good food *whispers* the canteens not great...come up to the first dorm off the left of the big stairs' she said smiling.

'Hmmph...I guess Marys gone...it is 6pm in the evening' Rae said looking at her watch.

"lived on for two years on MRE with the odd hot meat here and there "said the Man

'ahh...*she was lost for words*...the offers there sir' she said.
'I would leave a note and look for your name on the list, thats your dorm number' she said, she walked back upstairs with Cally at her heels.

She went to see John.
'Theres a new man...ah shit...I didnt get to the infirmory' she said trailing off.

'ahh...*she was lost for words*...the offers there sir' she said.
'I would leave a note and look for your name on the list, thats your dorm number' she said, she walked back upstairs with Cally at her heels.

She went to see John.
'Theres a new man...ah shit...I didnt get to the infirmory' she said trailing off.

John smiled faintly "Hmm, interesting to say the least, Steve, Lauren, interested in a movie?"

Steve finished his meal and joined the conversation. "That's cool that you and Ingram are such good pilots. Dad never let me go up in an actual fighter but every simulator our air force has I'm the undisputed king of. I've been thinking about going into the air force when I get out of school, we just got some F-99 Wolverines and I gotta tell you, that's one fine piece of plane. My compliments to Rae on the cooking, you've got a future as a chef."

Rae sat down on her bunk bed looking at her arms puzzled.

a note was left
Captain Jack Krauser from The Shadow Empire of Imperial signed in at 6:15pm


Jack entered his room and put his gear down before pulling out his BlackBerry Pearl and send a email back saying he was here

John smiled faintly "Hmm, interesting to say the least, Steve, Lauren, interested in a movie?"

"Sure, I'm up for it," Lauren said, but she looked to Steve to see if he was also interested.

Rae scratched her skin and more flaked off, she ran down to the emergency infirmory and saw the nurse.
'hmmmmm interesting.....you need to take these...they are supplements, you are getting enough amino acids...' she said, she gave her the supplements and sent her upstairs.

"Sure, what did you have in mind?," Steve asked.

Jack puts on his Fatigue Cap and heads down stairs after locking his room

"Sure, what did you have in mind?," Steve asked.

John said "Is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix okay everybody?"

"Sounds good to me," Lauren said, "I've only seen the first and the fourth in the series, so I guess I can get up to speed here."

"Sounds good, I've seen them all so I can bring you up to speed pretty quick Lauren," Steve replied

OOC: I haven't seen the last movie yet so no spoilers please.

Although Marcus never thought of himself as a cocky or vain individual, he did take a small pleasure in talking about himself. He did have some rather impressive credentials and accomplishments; though it was rare he had the chance to discuss them.

“Yes, well, I am applying for a position to be a teacher; my fields of expertise are in government and economics. In government, my interests are mostly around government structure and legal systems, and as for economics, most of my studies have revolved around macroeconomics. In my education, I received my BA in public policy and economics in 1978 from the National Autonomous University of México. In 1984 I received two doctorate degrees, again both in political science and economics from the same institution. After that, I served as a legislative analyst for one of the legislators in the Aztec National League’s Tlatocayotl Tlactli (the High Soviet Senate) from 1998-2000. In 2000, I received my teaching credentials and began lecturing at the University of Veracruz for three years, and in 2004, I made a permanent switch to teaching secondary education sources. I ended up preferring teaching high school students – although it’s a greater challenger, it’s a better fit for me.”

He opened his briefcase and put it on his lap – “I have a copy of my doctorate thesis for both of my classes, in addition to some of the accolades I’ve received from academia in my nation. In addition is a resume.” He stopped for a second, noticing one of his more valued possessions. Getting back on topic, he said “I also have a letter regarding my nomination by the Aztec government to teach at this school.”

Unsure if the interviewer had any more questions, he said, “Is there anything more I could answer?”
He looked over what Marcus had given him. "Hmmm..." he said, reading everything handed to him. "Alright, Marcus. While I don't see any problems, I will be notifying you within a couple of days of our official decision. I do like what I see and have heard from you." The Dean stated, standing up. "This should do." he said, now smiling and shaking the man's hand.

Jorge nodded and followed Riggs to the dorm. The school was certainly going to be a different experience for Jorge. The schools of the Aztec National League were a mixed lot – the schools constructed after the revolution were very modern in design; designed to be incentives for the previously poor, mostly indigenous neighborhoods to clean up their cities and houses. The schools that had survived the revolution and were built in the late 19th and early 20th century by the Mexica Union, the government in place before the ANL, were great, neo-classical structures that added to the grace and elegance of the neighborhoods and business districts of the elite of the time. It was fairly ironic – they were beautiful structures, but were a somber reminder of the ugly contrast of glaring inequality before the revolutions.

Jorge looked around the school, noticing the many different cultures that were represented their. It made him feel a bit less worried about being the only Aztec at the school. Although the ANL wasn’t exactly the world’s worst enemy, they have had their fair share of run-ins. The people of the country have large number of stereotypes as well, or at least that’s what the media reported. Curious, Jorge asked Cliff, “With all these cultures and different people, are there ever any problems, like fights and things like that? Or are things pretty calm?”
"It's pretty calm, really. Even those who come from two nations who are at odds, the students are at least willing to hear of their stories, and talk. Friends? Maybe not, but they will not just fight. It's a very good environment here. You teenagers are lifted out of the situations you were in previously - rather it be a good one or a bad one - and placed here, where everyone, including yourself, have stereotypes on them. With that, most students are more interested in just meeting people, learning about eachothers cultures, and having fun, since you're now in a place where there's no world problems to worry about in a war, there's no stereotypes some people are forced to listen to, there's not nearly the responsibility that goes with living in a family of a government official in some cases. I think I made it clear, but does that answer your question?" he asked.

John said "Is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix okay everybody?"

"sure" said Ingram "i havent seen it yet, so i hope it's as good as the 1st and 3rd ones" he sat down "so John, have you ever been shot?"

"sure" said Ingram "i havent seen it yet, so i hope it's as good as the 1st and 3rd ones" he sat down "so John, have you ever been shot?"

John said smiling "Yeah, I've been shot a couple of times, luckily they grazed me..., I wrote a book about it.." He put in the Order of the Phoenix movie and said "It's fairly accurate to the book.."

John said smiling "Yeah, I've been shot a couple of times, luckily they grazed me..., I wrote a book about it.." He put in the Order of the Phoenix movie and said "It's fairly accurate to the book.."

Ingram pulled up his pant leg. a large chunk of his leg below the knee was mechanical "it was from an RPG after i was shot down" he said "my fighter was hit. i ejected but the co-pilot's seat jammed. on the way out, i was riding in an HMMWV and it was hit by an RPG, it hurt like hell"

"Woah, that must have hurt like hell!," Steve said with a look of surprise on his face. "I got shot once, I was carrying a rifle with the barrel pointed down and somehow the damn thing went off and hit me in the ankle. Missed the Achilles Tendon by about an inch. Still don't know how it happened, the safety was on. The only thing I can think of was that the heat of the chamber cooked off the shot without me pulling the trigger. It was still weird though."

"Woah, that must have hurt like hell!," Steve said with a look of surprise on his face. "I got shot once, I was carrying a rifle with the barrel pointed down and somehow the damn thing went off and hit me in the ankle. Missed the Achilles Tendon by about an inch. Still don't know how it happened, the safety was on. The only thing I can think of was that the heat of the chamber cooked off the shot without me pulling the trigger. It was still weird though."

John said "Intersting, this little bugger is what I got from the P-51 explosion, remember the story I told you earlier.." He pulled his left leg up, and most of it was covered in a little mechanical leg, but some remained flesh and said "It tore most of the flesh of this leg, but the robotics are so advanced that my remaining flesh and the robot flesh feel the same now, a small price to pay for surviving a near fatal crash.." He pulled the pant leg back down..

"Thank God for robotics, or else I wouldn't have two good friends right now," Steve said. "This summer I'm getting my first intro to flying, going up in an Air Force trainer, F-5 Tiger II I think. They're okay, but I'd like to get a crack at those new F-99s the air force bought."

"Thank God for robotics, or else I wouldn't have two good friends right now," Steve said. "This summer I'm getting my first intro to flying, going up in an Air Force trainer, F-5 Tiger II I think. They're okay, but I'd like to get a crack at those new F-99s the air force bought."

John grinned and said "Who are those two good friends Steve?, I've shot 9 aircraft down in the F-5 Tiger II, it's a good airplane if you're any good at flying, no offense Steve, it's just my observation..." John brought out a painting of a P-51 mid explosion, with 2 Calizorinstani F-4C's flying in the sun in the background, and a man jumping out of the cockpit and said "This is a picture of that incident Steve in case you want to see it, it'll tell you way more then I can.."

"By two good friends I meant you and Ingram, I might not know you guys all that well but I still consider you guys my friends. And I like the F-5, it's a good plane, but it's awfully low-tech compared to the F-35s and F-99s that we're fielding as front-line aircraft," Steve said. Turning to the painting, he said "Damn, you got out of there just in time it looks like. Guess luck was on your side. Hopefully I never have to eject, but if I do I'm prepared. I told the command guys in the Air Force that it'd be nice if they could put a compartment in the ejection seat for a carbine or something bigger than a pistol, and it's in development now. If I'm gonna be shot out of the sky and live, I don't want to be killed by some Londinian or somebody because I don't have a weapon." Realizing that he had mentioned the Londinians around Ingram, he turned and apologized. "I'm sorry for mentioning them Ingram, it's just that lately I've figured that if my country goes to war it'll be against them."

the small corperate jet landed at the local airport and taxied to a private hanger to unload its passengers Henry McAddams, his wife, daughter Robin, and a half dosen security guards. wich all quickly made there way to a matching corperate limo

"Are you sure you want to attend here? the acadamys back home are almost equel to this school Robin? her father asked her as they made there way to the school. he had always suported his daughter in her persuits but he still had his doubts as to this one.
"i told you dad" she began "if i were to stay at Lady Merisas Acadamy i would have missed out of the world experience of attending an international school."

"hey guys, i'll be right back, the new person is here" he said, walking out of the room. he then walked over to the clump of security guards "hi, i'm Ingram, the local Cazelian around here, what's your name?"

Henry extended his arm to shake the mans hand "hello Ingram I'm Henry McAddams my wife Erica and daughter Robin. i trust you got my daughters enrolment forms?"

Henry extended his arm to shake the mans hand "hello Ingram I'm Henry McAddams my wife Erica and daughter Robin. i trust you got my daughters enrolment forms?"

"um...no, i dont work here, i'm only 16. if you want to know, just ask Mary, she works at the front desk" Ingram shook his hand "so, where are you from?"

"um...no, i dont work here, i'm only 16. if you want to know, just ask Mary, she works at the front desk" Ingram shook his hand "so, where are you from?"

Jack walks past with a bottle in hand and hears this
"she not in it's go past 6pm "said Jack

Rae had had a shower and used her moisturiser, she got out and curled up in bed.

Jack walks past with a bottle in hand and hears this
"she not in it's go past 6pm "said Jack

"thanks" said Ingram, and then turned back to Robin "in the meantime, my freinds and i are watching Harry potter, do you wish to join us?"

Alice was sat in the large lecture room, the seats towered up in front of her, she had her mp3 player going and was busy marking her students work....

"um...no, i dont work here, i'm only 16. if you want to know, just ask Mary, she works at the front desk" Ingram shook his hand "so, where are you from?"

"well we are from the nation of Stamoka" henry replied the the youths question
robin gave the boy a smile and a tiny wave
"would you be able to show us to mary's office?" henry asked the boy

Steve turned to Lauren and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Well, I think the party's pretty much over, I'll walk you back to your dorm. Thanks for dinner Rae and John, see you guys in class tomorrow. Oh and one last thing, if you want to, you can come to Central Prestonia for summer vacation. My family owns a little beach house in a small town called Seaside, it's a nice little place but we never got to go there because Dad's too busy being President. He gave me free run of the house though and said I could bring friends there for vacation. What do you think?"

Alice was sat in the large lecture room, the seats towered up in front of her, she had her mp3 player going and was busy marking her students work....
One of the advisors, Tammy Wilcox, was walked by and saw Alice in the room. Walking up, "Hey Alice, how are the students?" Tammy asked.

"well we are from the nation of Stamoka" henry replied the the youths question
robin gave the boy a smile and a tiny wave
"would you be able to show us to mary's office?" henry asked the boy

let me as i left a note when i sign in"said Jack

'Hey....' she said tired.
'yeh everythings fine, I am glad my sister has settled so well, I hear she has a boyfriend already....little devil' she said, she pulled up a chair.

'Hey....' she said tired.
'yeh everythings fine, I am glad my sister has settled so well, I hear she has a boyfriend already....little devil' she said, she pulled up a chair.
"hahaha, ya, those kids are quick to hook up, aren't they?" Tammy said. "But the classes are going fine, huh? That's great! Ya, the kids here are pretty good kids. They treat you well, right?"

"I'd love to go with you," Lauren said, clutching Steve's hand as she moved to his right, "It's great to have a place all to yourself that you can relax in, take a breather from the pressures of the real life. And," she said, speaking a bit softer, "thanks for everything tonight, I had a great time.

'yeah you get the odd couple of players....but they soon get knocked down...' she added.

'Yeh some of them even volunteered to help me mark the geog papers...i mean its only yes or no check boxes, but i told them to go!' Alice smiled.

'so are any of the guys nice around here, I met Matt on registration, he was cute' Alice said, not looking up from her work.

'Id like to have some girl friends, just people to hang out with really....my dorms pretty lonely....we could watch movies sometime, i have the biggest collection...' Alice said looking up, her blush disappeared.

"I'm glad you had a great time, I did too. I can't wait for summer, it's going to be great. The beach has great waves for surfing and there's also a boat there. There's an island about 25 miles from the house that seriously looks like it came out of an adventure story. I don't even know if it's charted or not but I love it, it's so tranquil."

"Matt is a real nice guy. He's pretty quiet, but definately charming, I must say so myself." she said with a large grin, spacing out for a few seconds before quickly coming to again, "And ya, I love movies! What's your favorite?" she asked.

'you like him....'Alice asked, she shook the thought out of her head that it would work.

'I love horror and comedy, i love silent hill and just random stuff realy, but i have a phobia of the sea, so no shark films' she said smiling.

'are there any other guys.....god I sound desperate?'

"I'm looking forward to it too, being with you is going to make this one of the best years of my life."

"I'm glad you had a great time, I did too. I can't wait for summer, it's going to be great. The beach has great waves for surfing and there's also a boat there. There's an island about 25 miles from the house that seriously looks like it came out of an adventure story. I don't even know if it's charted or not but I love it, it's so tranquil."

"Still a long while to summer," Lauren replied softly, "but it sounds great to me. But hey, I'm looking forward to a year with you here, away from home."

She smiled, eyes twinkling in the light of the hallway. She wasn't implying anything with the last sentence, simply giving truth.

'you like him....'Alice asked, she shook the thought out of her head that it would work.

'I love horror and comedy, i love silent hill and just random stuff realy, but i have a phobia of the sea, so no shark films' she said smiling.

'are there any other guys.....god I sound desperate?'
"Ehh, I think most of us girls like Matt. He's a real nice guy. But, really.. most of the guys here are pretty nice. Matt and Cliff are probably the two best guys who are available though. Great, funny guys who are pretty good looking." she said, before changing subjects again, "I LOVE Silent Hill! But comedy I think I like better. That and action the best." she said.

she smiled.

'could you put in a good word for me' she asked with a girly giggle.

'yeah I watch silent hill about 3 times a week...isnt that sad? I love the music, theres a second one coming out next year! do you like Anchorman? with Will Ferrel?' she asked

she smiled.
