Chapter 3 - Getting to Meeting are not magical
Another day and we're having a meeting a Russia's place this time. And America has to be annoying yet again.
"Hey, Iggy. What you up too?"
"The names either Arthur or England to you. I thought that maybe other than doing a normal things countries do, I could help out a little bit more."
"By the way, the ads you send out seem very cheap or stupid."
"What do you mean?"
"Magic, first off, no one believes in it other than you. And those other magic geeks. And the other things to "help out" are not in your style of life. Other than that gentle man thing. And the ads seem like you took the pictures from a kindergarten and pasted it on there."
"America! I-"
My phone went off just as I was about to chew him out. I sighed and pulled out my phone. Unknown caller. To the phone which I gave out the ads for. Before I picked up I rubbed it in America's face and picked up.
"Hello. This Arthur Kirkland at your service. How can I help you?"
"Hello? This is Jessica, I'd like to book a appointment about a magic situation."
"Yes! Of course! When and where?"
"...from my schedule I have tomorrow from 19:00 to 21:00 or if you're in America, 7:00 to 9:00. If it's okay with your time. I'm just regularly a busy person. Oh! And I'm at the capital of Russia."
The girl named Jess seemed real kind through the phone. I think I like my first costumer!
"Of course! That's perfect!" It fitted within my timing as well, no need to time spells. And we were at the same place, no need for traveling spell or a plane ticket.
America leaned in obviously wanting to know just who as on the other line.
"How much do I have to pay you? If that's okay with me saying, I know that sounds rude." She cares, how sweet.
"No, you don't have to pay anything my dear. It's just to help you out."
She giggled, "Why thank you Arthur! See you tomorrow!"
She hang up as well did I. I like her. And I don't even know her!
"Got a girlfriend Arthur?"
"No! I've gotten a costumer! For magic, if you didn't know!"
"Whatever. I better get some sleep in, tomorrow we're going against the legendary Jessica Amella Dareon!"
"How do you know her middle name?"
"I'm a fan! Okay! Don't judge!"
"Of course I won't. But almost every leader including you are going against her. It shouldn't be that hard."
"Dude, search her up. She's unbreakable and unbeatable. Theirs a reason she's like an idol to me right now."
I looked at the teenager like man strangely and answered, "Alright. I will."
"I'll be shocked if you're not at least impressed at my civilized girl!"
"Your girl?"
"She's born in Utah, moved to Chicago, than moved again Iowa. She lived her life at my place!"
I rolled my eyes yet again, he exaggerated all the time. This is most likely a girl that's done one great thing and is living off in a young retirement. Like every person would if they could.
I got the results. It didn't show a girl all out going, it showed a humble lady doing many things. The normal things to help out, the special things to help out, and the things that have gone beyond thought.
"Wow."
"I know right! Daddy's little angel!"
"She may be one of your people, but not on earth is she your "daughter". I bet she has a family of her own."
"Oh! And if you're interested in her childhood and her family, I've gotten more than anyone else! Being America! You should hang out! I could show you a lot! Now, off to make papers and pray that she'll win while fighting her off!"
"If you believe in what she's saying, then why not side with her?"
"Bosses, you should know this already England. God I thought you knew me better than anyone else!" He said as he grabbed his papers and placed them in there rightful place and went to bed.
Did he still believe in me? Knowing him better than anyone else? Maybe I don't know him that well.
I placed down my phone and book. I'm glad that the ads are helping people out. I'm glad that I can help in some way. In fact, I'm surprisingly glad I had this talk with America. Like it was before all the crazy things happened. "Yeah, today may have been a crazy day, but in the end, may be worth it."
I turned off my light and went to bed.
*Jessica's perspective
"Beep beep beep"
"Shut up Becky, I'm getting up." a sleepy Jess mumbled. I got up from the seat she was in. Did she sleep on work. I need to stop doing that. I turned to face the normally crazy Becky shoving food in my face and telling me to get going. But no one was there.
I stared at the clock for what felt like a long time. I then finally stopped the noise and got to work. A quick shower, doing my face and hair real quick. There, pretty to the world's standards. I then slipped into some nice clothes for work and grabbed my things. "Oh, I almost forgot again. Breakfast.
I looked into the storage to see a bagel and some grapes. I took out one slice of bagel and a few grapes and shoved them into my mouth. Then I went onto my accounts for a moment telling of what my day will be. "Another meeting for the rights of clean safe water without disturbing too much of the earth's natural habit. Any ideas? Please be quick too, I'm on a rush."
Then a million (not joking) messages came rushing through helping me out. Most of the time siding with one or the another. I took notes from both, what the people want, what the government want, and what is needed.
Then a person named Alfred had send, "Sorry Jess, you're about to meet your worst enemy."
I grinned, my competition, eh? "Excuse me, but I don't think we've meet before."
"Me? Haven't meet me?"
"I might have, I'm not good with just one named people."
"Alfred F. Jones. The hero ready to kick your ideas out and help out this planet."
"Well that's what I want, to help the planet! (You a hero! That's cool!)"
"(Thank you, finally! Someone that has appreciation for hero's now a days!) How do you know you're helping?"
"I'm speaking for the people, the ones that have knowledge of this thing and know what's right. They want to see a change in the net work. They want to save lives yet help with the future. It'll be hard keeping track of both sides but the out come will be for the greater good!(I know! It's hard to find people now that are willing to be hero's and look for them!)"
Now talking to this person makes me feel a little like a hero. I placed down the device for a moment and gathered my things needed for today. For the long meeting and after the meeting, the friend time with Ivan. Hopefully things can go out nicely.
Like my wish, no one will recognize me until we have reached the place, and maybe not even then until the meeting as started. I should have thought on this wish thing harder.
I then picked up the device again and looked to see the response of other people and Alfred. Which I'm starting to like. People have started a war on the website in which side to choose of. This isn't what I wanted at all. I wanted equal and carefully thought out understanding with the water we have and water that they're taking away.
I went back to Alfred F. Jones as he calls himself, or hero. To find him answer to me, "Well, in truth not to be mean, but do the people truly know what the earth is going through? And the world doesn't yet understand how the earth works. It's either going to end up with the government choose one or the other. And we'll think about the people first and what's best for them."
"And the future generations?" I answered to him.
"We may not have a future generation if we don't have people now."
Those words stick onto me. He's right, if we don't focus on now, there may not be a future.
"You're strong headed, I like that, and smart with word choices. But even if everything is either a possibility or true, what I feel is important is that we put thinking into the water we have and what ways to do things safely without ruining the worlds habit making the world crumble."
I told them, "I'm off to the meeting now everyone."
I've gotten one more text, "Good luck Jess. I hope you'll be okay with defeat."
"Good luck as well Alfred. We'll see just who'll will come out victorious. Hopefully both of us."
I finished and went off. The cool fresh air when I opened my windows helped wake me up better. I took in a deep breathe and grinned. I knew that today was going to be a wonderful day.
I rushed down (don't tell Becky I did that) down the stairs the the main floor. I waved bye to the person at the main center. I went outside the doors to see Ivan waiting for me.
How early did he wake up? How long was he standing there waiting for me? This was a little embarrassing.
"Good morning Ivan!" I cheered.
"Доброе утро." he answered back to me, "Oh, I meant Good morning."
I giggled, "Well now I now how to greet you!"
He smiled at me even in the morning, "Are you always this bouncy?"
"Nope! I just have a good feeling today!" I answered him.
"That is good. I have a good feeling about today as well."
I smiled at him as snow fell down all around us. I checked the clock for a moment to see what time it is. After waking up at 4:00, It was now about 7:00, or 7:12.
"Oh crap. I have to get going!" I cried.
"Would you like me to go with you?" he asked me.
"I'd like to have some company I know. And you are my body guard."
"Then let's go." He told me stretching out his hand. I looked at it for a moment and took it. He's really sweet! He lead me down the mini stairs and then let go of my hand as we were side by side.
We walked on our way through the streets and reached the center. He stared at it for a moment.
"Ivan, have you ever been in there before?"
"Yes, I have. It's where the world meeting will take place after you're talk. Or even at the same time. Hey! Maybe you were invited to the meeting as well! That would be fantastic!"
"You think so?"
He nodded with a cherry smile. I would like to go to his meetings. From how he words it, it should pretty important for the world. Almost as if they make the decisions. I'd like to be in that. It might help a lot if I'm in on the main center of things.
"Well, let's go in!"
He nodded, took my hand, and went off. I don't think he's good with this whole "Friend" thing. Most friends don't hold hands. But I didn't care, I'm a weirdo and I like it! So I went along hoping no one thought we're together-together.
I only worry because of the statue I now have to carry. And because it's not just me dragging down me, I'll drag everyone down. And I don't want someone getting hurt by me.
He opened the doors for me and let me into the building with well thought out beauty in every piece.
"So what do you do Jess?"
"What kind of job do I have?"
"We know you're a speaker, and an author, and a star with your music, but is there anything else you do?"
"I do a lot of things as it is already. But other than that, I just help out in services. I guess people have called me to be their lawyers and I've taken them. But other wise I don't really do that much outside my already busy life. But what do you do? It sounds very cool, and how you say it like it's just another daily life thing that should be hidden."
"Really? I say it like that?"
"Do you hear your voice whenever you talk about it? It acts so off!"
"I didn't notice that..."
"So what is your job, you were once a solider. Now into politics. That's a strange change."
"Well, in my years of war I've found that every problem starting them have came from the table room. So to help my people I've tried to work in with the problems of the earth." He told me as he held himself proudly.
"Look at you! Caring so much for Russia that you act like you're there leader!" I mimicked him, "So to help my people" It's adorable!"
"Heh, yeah."
"And super awesome."
He stopped walking, "Ma'm, the door's on the the fourth hall number 35. I need to go somewhere. I'll come right back."
I stopped at looked at him for a moment. "Okay, was it something I said?"
"N-no. I just...need to do something for a moment."
I watched as he picked up his phone and walked off.
"Okay. See ya soon!" I told him.
He smiled and nodded to me, then rushed off.
I then wondered what could have made him so jumpy. Awesome? Did that word startle him?
Strange. I shrugged. It's not that bad, he just needs some time. We all need time alone. I sure know I need time alone. And I never get it.
*Russia's perspective
I walked out of the halls listening and following Miss Jessica Dareon
I went over to fourth hall and saw the lined numbers. People were talking along the hall and stared at me once I came into view.
I smiled and ignored all the faces. Each different looking people, not to be mean. But a group of three looked like they were from Italy, Germany, and Japan. How do I know, I get to know my fans.
I named off countries in which they looked like they came from. Then I ran into one group with two men fighting, one man laughing, and another looking like he wish he wasn't there.
I went up to the four blonde men and pulled on the two fighting peoples' hair.
"Ow!"
"H-hey!"
"I've never seen such childish behavior in fully grown men before!"
"Hey why did you stop them? That was pretty funny!"
"Well sir, I do not think such action in public and respectful places should exist. I'd say do so after the meetings are over."
"Ma'm, could you kindly let go of my hair my dear?"
"Sure," I told him.
I watched as once I let go, the two heads collided. Which was pretty funny. I giggled and that one person started laughing again.
"Thank you mon amour!" (my love)
I glared at him, "You're welcome sir."
"Th-thank you for stopping them," the quiet one told me, "my name is Matthew. By the way you're very pretty."
"Thank you Matthew!"
"I'm Alfred, he's my little brother."
"Hey!" Matthew yelled at him.
"Well, you do look alike in a sense, but act as polar opposites."
"Yeah, I know. Hey babe-"
"I'M NOT YOUR BABE! I'VE BARELY MEET YOU!"
"I know, but you haven't told us your name!"
"Before you tell us, my name is Francis!" The longer hair man in colorful decor told me with eyes always watching me.
"And my name is Arthur Kirkland. Just ignore that frog there."
"Hey-"
"Guys, no fights."
"Yes, we need to act as gentlemen." Arthur told Francis. Francis rolled his eyes and started to tried to flirt with me.
"And your name is Arthur Kirkland?"
"Yes, it is."
"I have a meeting with you after my meeting!"
"Why that's wonderful! I'll see you later then my dear," He bowed.
I giggled again, "Until then all of you have a wonderful time." I bowed to the four boys. Then I walked off again. This time grabbing even more attention then before.
Alfred, Arthur, next thing they'll know Ivan! I also think that man Alfred is the one I'm fighting. The one that called me babe. Also the one on my account. The hero as he called himself. From what I've seen, he acts nothing like a hero. Hopefully he's better at a meeting then in his free time. Yeah, free time...
I found my door and quickly went in before I could do anything else.
"Okay, everyone will recognize you at the meeting. All those people know that have been in contact with me, will still recognize me once the meeting is done. And the world will still turn peacefully. Okay, I think I got this!"
I walked around my room excited yet scared of all that has happened, is going on, and will come.
This is really strange and unique power and I need to gain control over myself! No simple wishes as I go on my work, just stay a blank mind and convince them of your side, it's what you have been doing during all your time in the field! Or once I've gotten out of-.
I heard outside all the room out silent. Which was strange, sense that didn't happen for me.
I was about to go out when I heard, "Ah! He's smiling real big! This isn't good at all!"
How rude! I mean, some people are just different and unique in there own special way! Just because some one doesn't smile that certain way doesn't mean that it's a bad thing! You don't know what is going on with that person.
With fury running through my veins ready to find out just who said that and chew them out like no tomorrow, someone knocked on the door.
I took a breathe hoping either Ivan was at the door ready to calm me or the person so I could tell them in a more private place how disrespectful and cruel that was.
"Who is it?"
"Jess, you should know, I told you I was coming back!"
"Thank heaven! Come on in!" I cried. That was not meant to come out, but it did.
I heard the same voice answer, (Poor girl...) "Povera ragazza ..." someone answered in Italian. Most likely that one Italian dude. After the meetings I'm going to have a talk with him...
"Just ignore those stupid people Ivan." I told him as I closed the door. With some "hey!"s heard from behind us.
He laughed as I closed the door. "Those are my friends I told you about!"
"Really? Them? They kinda scare me in truth."
"Really now?"
"You seem so friendly and approachable! They have a glare of judging you as you walk past by!"
"Well, you did just call all of them idiots."
"They're acting like ones. And that's not a good first impression for me!"
"They are the friends I told you about during the dinner."
"Oh..." This isn't right! I have to clear there minds! Maybe a song? A poem? I'll work on that when I have time. I'm clogging up time in my own vacation time!
"HEY! Rus-" Alfred stared at me and Ivan. Was he about to call him Russia? Like me?
"I didn't know you two were a thing!" Alfred yelled.
"What!" I answered him as he closed the door.
"Were you two about to get into some action before I came in?"
"Alfred..." I told him in strictness.
"You know Alfred Jess?"
"I meet him a little earlier, now Alfred, we're not together. We've barely just meet each other yesterday." Has it been yesterday? It doesn't feel like that at all!
He seemed to ignore me and went over to Ivan, "I didn't know you were a hooker with ladies Ivan!"
He just stared at the man, telling him to lay off with his body language.
"ALFRED!" I yelled at him. I'm losing all my sanity at this very moment. "Shut up! It's not like that at all!"
"Ha! I got a loosen cut on her! She totally digs you!"
"I give up..."
"Alfred, I think you should stop now. Jessica has had enough of your child like manner."
"Wait, are you Alfred F. Jones?"
"Yep!" He proudly claimed.
Oh no...I do have to fight him.
"Well... may the best person win." I said out loud in a soft low manner. And gave out a hand in his direction.
He stared at it like it was holding a unique item or something of that stupid.
"Jessica A. Dareon?"
"Yes..." I sighed out waiting for the rush of fandom hit me again.
"HOW COME I DIDN'T RECOGNIZED YOU! I'm a huge fan!" Ivan stared at him like as if he was partly an alien partly hoping to be joking. "I have all your works! And your past is a remarkable past story!"
"Th-thank you..." I tried to say without punching the man. I don't like my past. I'd burn it if I could. But you can't burn memories and events. But I did the closest thing to burning it. I destroyed the hidden slave trades going on in the world. And freed my family. It was one of the first things I've done. Yeah...those times...
"Hey! When I'm not ruining your love lives, we should hang out! And the secrets safe with me. Ivan I know you think that it's not but it is. And I can tip you if needed!"
"Thanks Alfred." He simply said.
"My god! I never thought I'd see the day! And out of all people! It's her!" Alfred claimed as he left the room.
I then curled up into a ball.
"I'm sorry about him."
"It's fine. I just now have to fight him off."
"Oh, you're the one wanting smart thinking?"
I looked up to him in my chair curled up, "Yes, I am! What do you know about that?"
"You are fighting the others. I'm supporting you! But America and the others want to simply go forward with the works." He then stared as if he shouldn't have said something.
"Yeah, the countries from what I've seen can be stubborn."
"Yes! They are!"
"It doesn't help with the leaders being head strong either..."
"I-I think we should talk about something else for the moment."
"Well, it's making sure I'm not freaking out about the meeting and personal issues I have." Like the magic-wishing thing going on.
"Well, it's almost time, are you ready?"
I thought on the lines and took the papers I had on this event. "I think I am!"
"Then lets go, my guest!"
I rolled my eyes and took his hand to go out the door.
We walked down the ale with eyes staring. And that one Italy guy fainted. We weren't holding hands once we exited the room, but everyone just stared at us.
Alfred thumbed either Ivan, me, or the both of us up. Which didn't help my thinking of what is going on through peoples heads. By there glares of us I wanted to punch someone in the face. Ivan simply gave a fake smile as we pasted everyone.
Once we were out of there sight and into the judging room with no one in the place, I let out a sigh and dropped to the floor.
"I hate my life sometimes." I mumbled on the hard floor.
"They were all glaring at me."
"If you find a way to make me think that I'd struggle them."
"No you wouldn't."
"Yes I would."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
I sighed and picked myself up off the cold hard floor.
"Then how could I change there minds?"
"You can't."
"Great. Just grreeeaaaat! Think of all the things I could do! NOTHING!" I bashed my head on one of the tables.
"You've done tons of amazing things already. You should let yourself rest for once."
"I've never rested sense I was in High School. Ever sense I've left the house into the world, I have fought for justice with no rest." I sort of lied to him. No one knows of my true past. It was scary to think that Alfred might know something about that whole thing. Ugh! I'm thinking too hard!
"Do you sleep?"
"Well...yes...but-"
"Calm yourself. You'll be perfectly fine. You at least have normal sleep. That is good."
I smiled and nodded. Yeah, everything will turned out fine. Even if I don't win. This is a one day thing. I'm going to race with all my might and win this thing yet again!
*Russia's perspective
I didn't think America would pull that one from under us. Us? A thing? I tried to clear out what he might have been thinking...
I tried calming the strangely freaking out and poor girl. She was spilling all her anger and worries out on either the floor or the table. With was a little funny in truth. But she's a friend, and I've learned friends are meant to be there for each other when in trouble. Even if I have only known her for a little while and she acts a lot on the crazy side. But she's honest around me. That's another sign of friendship.
I really like her and how open she is!
She finally build up enough strength to stand on her own and proudly show her smile.
"Hey, Ivan, thanks. I think that I really needed that. But I can not see any of those people. And mainly that Italian looking person. I swear if I meet him!-"
"Woo! Hey! He's one of the nicer people! Very happy and caring."
"He gave a bad first impression for one of my friends. Me? I'd be fine and forgiving, but say one thing on my friend, and you'll wish you've kept your mouth shut."
Well, I wasn't expecting that out of her.
"Well, try. I mean, he is a little brain dead."
She burst out laughing in shock of what I've said, "Bra-brain dead! That was perfect! I think you've just made my day!" She continued to laugh.
Which how much laughing she was spilling I started to laugh.
"Hey! How's it going!" started out Jess in a mocking voice, "I'm just fine!" She went into another. "Can I get my money back?-Huh? What?-My money for your stupid house!-I didn't take anything...-" She paused for a moment as I tried to calm down my laughter. "You stupid. Scatter brain. Brain dead."
Then I couldn't help it. I went into a full laugh. I even fell on the floor. Something that I've never done sense I could remember. Then she started to laugh as well.
Then I thought up something, "Pretend countries are people and I'm Germany with Italy. ITALY!" I yelled. Which started up another laugh. "WHY CAN'T YOU RUN WHEN THE BRITISH AREN'T THERE!" She was crying out of laughter now! Herself as well on the floor!
"Oh! I got one! Freaking caaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" she mimicked Germany knowing he'd say if he had humor to show.
"We should stop..." I cracked out from my laughter.
"Okay, fine." She sighed out when she calmed down her laugh.
I stopped my air kicking and got up. She did as well. "Thanks for cheering me up. I haven't felt this happy in a long time!" I told her.
"Same here!" she claimed, "Now back to work!"
"Yeah, back to work."
Done! I'm glad I got this one in. Sorry I have a lot in for this summer, I think I'll have more free time in school, freaky... Any way, review! I love seeing people read my stories! Or story so far! I'm done talking, bye!
