This is Sacagawea. Here, the Mormons are a superpower. And depending on the day and age, they're in a personal union with the Shiites.
On the Michigan Peninsulas, the Mormons don't have as much influence as they'd like. Of the fourteen peninsulas, seven are inhabited. A lot of Catholic Slavs live on some of these peninsulas.
This is Peninsula 9, the smallest of the seven. East Great Falls is here. Over this physically small town, a Michigan flag flies. A Mormon one doesn't...but a Catholic one does. Over some homes, one of five Slavic Catholic flags does.
A Slovak flag flies over this home, in a better part of East Great Falls. Better...but not necessarily more expensive. These days, "expensive" isn't really a word in Michigander vocabulary.
Upstairs, an FX student and a local Maltese Semite share the same bed. As you might expect, the FX girl's got great hooters. She's in the nude. She sleeps facedown in the bed. Under her, the Maltese boy sleeps face-up in her rack.
Meet Jim and Nadia. They're a happy couple. If they're not past third base, they're at it. Right now, Jim isn't sure whether he wants to score a home run, or settle for third base.
Jim can't get enough of Nadia's boobs...or anything else about her. She's an angel sent from East Slovakia...via the FX.
Outside, the night passes. The moon sets.
Now, Jim and Nadia pillow talk. Jim would rather do this when he can see...so he can feast his eyes upon her nude bod.
"You're so sweet," she says, in her thick Slavic accent. "I wish I could stay here, and allow you to feast your eyes upon me."
He scoffs. "Why can't you?"
"I have to go back to East Slovakia. There's a family there, that sponsors me. They have business with me."
"And...you can't come back, once it's done?"
She sighs. "I am FX student, James. I must study in other countries, too. They want me to. And if not for you, I'd want to, too."
He shrugs. "You could always settle down here. Hell, you wouldn't be the first Slovak who has."
She sighs. "I am sorry, James. I am sure of nothing...other than that I am sure of nothing."
Jim sighs. "I lost my virginity with you. This isn't fair."
She smiles, and messes up his hair. "You will always be virgin, James. Even I can't transform you."
"You've done a better job of it than most girls could. I could live here my whole damn life. I'd never find another like you."
"I don't understand. This peninsula have Slovak pandemic."
He sighs. "You don't get it. I want you to stay. I want US to stay."
She heaves another sigh. "I am sorry, James. This is who I am. I cannot lie about it."
The hours pass. Alas, all of a sudden, the seconds are more valuable than they were before.
