Philadelphia, Penn. (AP)- Today, President Jake Featherston IV has announced to day he is looking for a wife.

"For a long time, I have devoted myself to the United Freedom Party. Under my leadership, the Reunited States has revived the dreams of our Founding Fathers, and has led them to glorious reality."

"However, I have come of age. I'm at least 28 now, and I have spoken with my advisors at the High Directorate and with my family members. We all agree: it's time to get hitched."

"So....without further ado, I invite any people interested in marrying me (or at least meeting me for dinner and dancing), to call me, or mail any RSA Embassy, or e-mail me. No vampires or furries, sorry."

If the meeting between Lady Amaterasu and The Transylvanian delegation does not go well, President Featherston can consider himself a real possible suitor for the Noble Lady if he so wishes. In fact, he can fly into Ankh as soon as possible, if he wishes. Just in case.

Back off. He already has a date set up. He will have a date with my gorgeous daughter. If things don't work out, then you can have her date him. Otherwise, the answer is "no."

If you are thinking I am some redneck in an alternate history book, I am sorry, but you are wrong. My great-grandfather served in the AEF in WWI proudly fighting for freedom, my granddad was a WWII vet, my dad fought the Soviets peacefully and with bombs, and I fight to preserve freedom.

Again, I have a date set up, so please refrain from insulting me, for I must decline your offer.

The aircraft soon landed, and began taxing towards the gate where Rinoa was located....

A black limo of indescrible pulchritude approached the aircraft, skidding to a gentle stop a few meters away from it. A chauvinistic, pendulously-jowled British chauffer with a dour expression and an acquiline nose opened the door, said, "Here we are, m'lady," in a cultured accent, and bowed his head humbly. Rinoa, wearing a beautiful red dress, stepped out, waved to the pilot of the aircraft, and climbed aboard.

Aboard the plane, a platoon of Secret Service guards, armed with MAC-10's and other weapons, guarded her as she got inside.

Then, a butler walked up to Rinoa, saying, "Good day, milady," in a Southern Accent that sounded mysteriously like that of John Turturro's from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" "I am Jackson (http://teachpol.tcnj.edu/amer_pol_hist/fi/0000013c.jpg). If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask."

He then sat down, and proceeded to tidy things up. The interior was like that of Air Force One, but definitely more opulent, as many of its chairs were leather, the walls had real mahogany paneling, and there was a general sense of richness throughout that made the plane seem like a mansion from the 1920's.

She shook his hand. She had a soft but firm handshake. "Pleased to meet you, sir," she said with genuine politeness, honestly meaning it rather than being a tight-assed prude. She cleared her throat. "If it's not too much trouble, might I please have a root beer float? Thank you very much!"

Jackson then said, "Very well, milady."

Jackson, good thing, happened to be an excellent cook.

He made a Root Beer float, using A&W Root Beer, 2 very generous scoops of Friendly's Vanilla Ice Cream, and a maraschino cherry on top. Her presented it to Rinoa, saying, "Here you are."

By now, the plane had left, and was flying to Philadelphia...

OOC: Sure.

IC: The plane arrived in Philly, and Jake Featherston was waiting there, in his best suit, with a bouquet of roses.

For a leader who issued such strong laws as the National Defense Act, he seemed awfully nervous. He was reminding himself: "Don't mess this up....don't mess this up....."

The door opened, and Jake then said to Rinoa, as she came out: "Good Evening, Rinoa."

He then kissed her hand, and offered her the bouquet of roses.

I've never personally hunted Shoobans, though I've had associates tell me it is quite, quite fun. Do you know a Karl Von Esling?"

Jake said, once inside the limo, "You're Under Arrest!, Rorunui Kenshin, and Robotech."

"Interesting," Rinoa said, smiling. "I'm partial to Slayers, myself." She added, "Oh, and you needn't be shy, my dear. Feel free to put your arm around me, if you wish."

"Interesting," Rinoa said, smiling. "I'm partial to Slayers, myself." She added, "Oh, and you needn't be shy, my dear. Feel free to put your arm around me, if you wish."

Jake then put his arm around Rinoa, and then ordered the driver to start the car.

He then said, "We'll first see the revamped Independence Hall. It has all of the old goodies (copies of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence), and a new exhibit on my father's work versus the Soviets and the WKM during the 1980's. You know I can trace my heritage to some of the Founding Fathers?"

Meanwhile, the limo sped through Philly's revamped streets. Since his reign, new housing and wide boulevards had sprung up, exchanging the old Fabusist squalor with new, clean areas (except for historical sections of the city; these were preserved).

Jake said to Rinoa, "You've honestly got the best smile of anybody, and I do mean anybody, I've seen."

Along the way, the people of Philly saw Featherston's limo, and began to cheer, spontaneously: "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Hail to the Chief!"

Jake then returned the favor, and then stopped when the driver said, "Mr. Featherston, we're here."

He then said, "Well, let's go."

He led her out of the limo into an adoring crowd, who kept on going. He then walked into Independence Hall, and then said to Rinoa, "So, where do you want to go first? To see the Declaration of Independence, or the Featherston III Memorial?"

She smiled. "The Featherston Memorial, please," she said, snuggling against him.

Jake then said, "But of course, darling."

He then took her to the Featherston Memorial. Here, a wall was covered with the picture of Jake's dad (http://www.tamu.edu/upress/BOOKS/2003/bigkraig.jpg), doing what he did best: lawyering, in this case, as the caption said, "Defending an unjustly accused Filipino man from an unfair robbery charge, brought about on the 4th of April, 1978. The man was later freed."

However, that was not all. Exhibits around the room displayed his Springfield Rifle, his journal, the Bible that stopped a WKM assasin's bullet, his spectacles, his American battle flag (with red stars indicating the number of Soviets taken), and had pictures of him leading anti-Soviet and anti-WKM protests, as well as spending time with little Jake, and him leading raids against Soviet bases.

One shot had him shaking his fist at a WKMer, holding a sign saying "Cowards go home."

Jake pointed to that one and said, "That was after Dad successfully got band of Klansmen convicted of shooting an African man, just for walking down the street near their car. When they tried to rally, Dad led the counter rally and drove them out."

A few people were whispering about the President, but his Secret Service guards scared them off.

Jake then said, "Hmm....let's see what's over here." He then led her to the Liberty Bell, newly restored (with original crack).

He then got out a camera and said, "Rinoa, could you be a dear and stand next to the Bell?"

Jake smiled, and said, "Italian food. Especially your favorite noodle dish...."

She grinned, and said, "Cool! I can hardly wait!" and began kissing him enthusiastically.

Jake said, "You will not regret it. A nice wine sauce, heavenly noodles mixing in the most delightful way with the perfectly cooked portions of chicken and mushrooms....its awesome."

The waiter then came with their drinks. He then said, "Ready to order?"

Jake said, "Yep....Chicken marsala for me, and milady here. Would it also be possible to get a carafe of Mondavi wine and some glasses?"

The waiter said, "Yes sir, not a problem. Thanks."

"I hate broccoli, too," she said, and gave him a kiss. "We seem to have a lot in common, don't we, my love?"

"I hate broccoli, too," she said, and gave him a kiss. "We seem to have a lot in common, don't we, my love?"

Her eyes lit up like beacons when he called her 'Princess,' and she felt a jolt of excitement surge through her body. The most beautiful smile in recorded history appeared on her face, and she said in an awestruck voice, "Mmmm, I love it when you call me that! Now I know you're the right man for me!"

She nodded. "Yeah, I know him," she said. "Daddy's relationship with him is uneasy. Sometimes he says Tim is his friend, other times he calls him a 'duplicitous, communistic, Sarzonistic piece of shit bastard.'"

My nation and I wish the two of you everlasting happiness. My eldest son and aire will soon be ready to marry as well, but at present he is still in military officer training. When will the wedding take place?


General Csaszar

Spanigland would be happy to supply a suitable husband, althogh we doubt that your leader is sexually inclined that way ;)
Other than that one man we have no-one.
Thankyou.

The chicken marsala placed in front of them, Jake proceeded to dig in. He scooped some from his plate, twirled it around his fork like a five year old and ate it, chewing politely and finishing with a swallow and "Mmmmm...that's good."

He then said, "Well, you did say you wanted to try the marsala, right? It's quite good; great as ever."

A man in a Findanian uniform came to the enternce of the resourant. The man said "Hello My name is Alfred de Hessington VI, of the de Hessington Arms Co. My brother is the Prime Minister of Findan. I wish to see President Featherston, I ahve a wedding gift from the Emperor to him."

The Maitre'D then said, "Hold on, sir."

He then escorted Mr. de Hessington to Jake's table, and said to Jake: "Mr. President, there's a man who wants to see you."

Jake said, "Hmmm...what is it?"

The Maitre'D then said, "He's from Findan, he has a gift."

Jake then turned to Rinoa and said, "You don't mind another guest, do you? If you do, I can always have him wait."

The assassin the ceiling vent watched the 2 closely.

Now was the time to strike.

Kicking away the vent grate, he leapt down into the room, pulled out his silenced MAC-10 and riddled them both full of ammunition.

Then he walked over and urinated on their corpses before hopping back into the vent and crawling away to safety.

ooc: JUST KIDDING! :p

Anyway, I just wanted to show my approval for this RP.

"I love you, too," she said, and rewarded him with an even more satisfying kiss.

Jake then, due to the wonder of it all, took a swig of his drink to try not to faint from the awesomeness of it all.

"Am I the woman of your dreams, Jacob?" she whispered in his ear, and began lustily kissing his neck.

"Am I the woman of your dreams, Jacob?" she whispered in his ear, and began lustily kissing his neck.

Jake said, "Oh yeah..."

Jake said, "Oh yeah..."

"You're the man of my dreams, of course," she purred, nuzzling his cheek lovingly.

"You're the man of my dreams, of course," she purred, nuzzling his cheek lovingly.

Jake then said, "Mmmm....and you're the woman of my dreams."

He then ate some more marsala and said, "Mm. This is one of the best days of my life.....say, you wanna go to my place after this?"

Jake then said, "Mmmm....and you're the woman of my dreams."

"Oh, God, yes!" she said.

"Oh, God, yes!" she said.

Jake then said, "In that case....I can do that!"

He then said, "But first, I gotta finish my dinner. Don't worry, it won't be long!"

He then dug into his marsala, eating it like a skinny Japanese man at a Nathan's competition (OOC: I'm Asian, so it makes it kinda kosher).

"Sure," she said, taking out a wad of dollar bills. "I'll pay for it."

Jake nodded, and called for the waiter. When he arrived, he told the waiter, "Check please."

The waiter came back with the check, and sure enough he passed it to Rinoa.

He smiled, and said, "I did keep that fact in mind, so, there you go."

She paid the waiter, and then 'paid' Jake with a big kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, babe. Ready to head to your place?"

She paid the waiter, and then 'paid' Jake with a big kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, babe. Ready to head to your place?"

Jake smiled, and said, "Damn straight. I'll call for the limo."

He led Rinoa outside, where after a quick call, the limo they had arrived in drove up. Jake then led Rinoa in the backseat along with himself, and they drove to the New Powell House, Jake's Presidential Estate.

I can't wait to become Mrs. Featherston someday, she thought, hoping Jake felt the same way.

"Oh, it's lovely!" she exclaimed. "Not as lovely as you, though, my dear."

Jake thought: "Damn, she's pretty....though a tad submissive. Meh, my Daddy always said marry a nice girl, she's a nice girl, I'll be damned if I let personality mess with me. I hope she becomes Mrs. Featherston."

The limo drove up into the garage of the House, and Jake got out. He opened the door from the garage into a long hallway, filled with art that led to the main house itself.

Jake said, smiling, imitating Dr. Evil's voice and motioning for Rinoa to follow, said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to my expensive mansion lair."

She let out a long, low whistle. "Wow!"

Jake said, "Well, I could have made it more ostentatious, but I wanted to keep it tasteful. Anyway, wanna see the game room?"

He walked down the hallway, and opened a door, revealing a room that had one of every game console in existence, and a 15-person LAN gaming area. Shelves were neatly organized into categories of games, and a large pantry filled with junk food, vegetables pre cut into snack size portions and dips, and Jolt Cola was out and ready to feed an army. A DDR machine was also in the room.

The room was occupied by some members of the Grand Congress, where were fighting each other in a round of Battlefield Vietnam on the LAN machines. They got up and saluted the President.

Rinoa tried to hide her disappointment. She had thought he meant something different by "game room."

She smiled, though, and said, "Oh, I love video games! I especially love RPGs. I play video games with Daddy all the time, and usually I win. His face gets all red, and he starts making these puffing, wheezing sounds. It's really funny!"

Noticing her face, Jake could see that she was sligtly dissapointed. He smiled and said, "Now, now....don't worry. That'll come later. Want me to fire up the PS2?"

"Yes, please," she said.

I can't wait 'til "later," she thought, grinning.

Jake waltzed to the PS2 humming "Singin' In the Rain," and then turned on the PS2.

He put in Final Fantasy Seven. He wasn't a large fan of the series, but he knew that the general consensus was FF7 was one of the best.

He turned up the Bose speakers, and handed the controller to Rinoa. He smiled and said, "There you go!"

He picked up the other controller and went "BTW, I personally got Square Enix to make me a multplayer version....one of my buddies, Michele Gincarelli, ensured that. So, I can join in."

"That's awesome!" she said. "By the way, may I please sit on your lap while we play? And, do you have any root beer?"

"That's awesome!" she said. "By the way, may I please sit on your lap while we play? And, do you have any root beer?"

Jake said, "Sure, Princess; you can sit on my lap."

He then yelled: "Jackson!"

Jackson the butler returned. He said, "Yes, Mr. President?"

Jake told Jackson: "Get the lady a root beer, please. Me too."

Jackson nodded and went to fetch the root beer. He came back with two glasses of A&W rootbeer and handed them to Rinoa and Jake.

She sat on his lap, and nestled her head against his neck. "Ooh, thanks, sweetheart," she whispered seductively in his ear. When she received the root beer, she thanked Jackson, and then told Jake: "Root beer. My third favorite thing. My second is my family. My first...is Y-O-U."

Jake looked at her, smiled, giggled and said, "Well, dear, I could say the same about you...."

He put his arm around her, and whispered, quietly and tenderly, to her: "....for after all-you are the best thing that's happened to me in a long, long time."

Jake kissed her back, smiled and said, "Oh, Princess.....your beauty within and without is stunning...you are truly lovely."

He then looked around and said, "Tell you what-why don't we take this somewhere more....private, perhaps? I'm not sure if we wanna do this near a bunch of guys playing Battlefield Vietnam."

Jake kissed her back, smiled and said, "Oh, Princess.....your beauty within and without is stunning...you are truly lovely."

"Yes, definitely, let's go somewhere private!" she said eagerly.

"Yes, definitely, let's go somewhere private!" she said eagerly.

Jake then giggled and said, "Let's go."

He led Rinoa to his room. He opened to thick, solid oak doors to reveal a room that looked respectable enough. It had a four poster bed, a couch, a 72" LCD TV, A massive DVD wall, and a large bookshelf. Statues of the Founding Fathers, Anime Heroines and Heroes, Shoji wall scrolls, both classical and from various animes, and an original Marc Chagall painting were placed tastefully across the room.

He bowed, and said, imitating Michael Palin's take on Cardinal Richelieu: "Welcome in" motioning for her to enter.

Jake, meanwhile, was washing his face off and cleaning his glasses. He had had a very good time....and he showed it by whistling "Singin' In the Rain."

He leaned in close, and kissed Rinoa, smiling and saying: "I must say, you. are. amazing! That felt really good...I needed that. Thanks."

Jake then went to a dresser. Pulling out a little box , he walked up to Rinoa, got on one knee, flipped open the box to reveal a diamond studded engagment ring, and said:

"Rinoa....we both know we were made for each other, and I guess...well...ah, I'll just skip the speech. Will you marry me?"

"Can Mr. Von Esling and Mrs. Moua come? And Daddy's Cabinet?"

"Can Mr. Von Esling and Mrs. Moua come? And Daddy's Cabinet?"

Jake said, "Hell yes. Karl is in West Virginia now, actually. I can call him up. As for Mrs. Moua, I am sure she'll come-she has nothing but love for Generalissimo J.L. and his family. And the Cabinet is invited too.....and don't worry. Security will be tight. Real tight."
