Of Burgers and Flying Mint Bunny

"Hey! How did the flight go?" the hyperactive, wheat-headed blond asks. Another slightly older blond comes up behind him and hits him outside the head.

"You could have introduced yourself first git!" He turns towards us. "Sorry about that…Alfred here can be a little rude at times." Alfred cuts him off.

"I am not rude am the hero!"

"Belt up! Anyway, I am Arthur Kirkland, the representative for England." Arthur says extending a hand my way. I quickly shake it and get my first good look at him. He has pretty emerald eyes, short blond hair, and a kind smile. I couldn't stop staring at his eyebrows. They were huge! Like big fuzzy caterpillars! I fought the temptation to laugh and poke them. He quickly shakes everyone's hands. Alfred introduces himself next.

"Hiya! I am Alfred F. Jones! The representative for the great, awesome, and heroic U.S .of A." I think this boy has more energy than… well me. He has big sky blue eyes, short messy blond hair that has a stupid cowlick… glasses, and a smile that easily beats the sun out by a long shot. Oh, and he is tall.

"Hi it is nice to meet you all. I am Elizabeth L. Adams but you can call me Beth. This is Eli- OW!" I quickly turn to face Liz who just hit me on the back of the head with a book.

"It is because we are more than capable of introducing ourselves. I am Elizabeth Reynolds." The rest of the girls then quickly introduce themselves too.

"Come on you guys the car is waiting out front for us." Alfred say pointing towards the door.

"Wait," May say stepping in front of another blond that everyone didn't notice. "You didn't introduce yourself yet." This blond looks like Alfred kind of… He has slightly longer hair with a curl instead of a cowlick and his eyes are more violet.

"Beth, why is May talking to the air?" Shannon asks innocently. I roll my eyes.

"No you haven't. Are you shy or something" I ask.

"You can see me!"He says as his eyes grow wide.

"Yes why wouldn't I be able to?" He smiles softly and gestures to everyone else who has the look of you're crazy on their face.

"I think you might have whacked her outside the head once to many times," Kae states.

"I didn't hit that git hard enough to do anymore brain damage then what she was born with!"

"Hey!"

"Sorry but it is true."I roll my eyes and catch Arthur snickering.

"What is so funny?" I ask spinning around to face him.

"It is nothing important." I open my mouth to reply with a witty come back but my stomach growls instead.

"Are you hungry, cause if you are I have an idea of where we can go eat before we drop you off at your hotel." Alfred says.

"It wouldn't happen to be McDonalds would it?" Arthur asks.

"Yeah how did you know?"

"It is where you always want to eat git! Besides I refuse to let you poison the girls the first hour that they are in our care."

"McDonalds is awesome! It wouldn't poison them like your cooking would."

"Why you little…" Arthur looks extremely upset as he replies. The two boys keep going back and forth arguing.

"Guys….Excuse me…um…guys" Kae says trying to get their attention.

"Here let me try Kae! Stop fighting!" I quickly use my hands to push them apart and stood in between them. Which would have been slightly scary if Alfred hadn't had his silly little grin on and if Arthur's eyebrows didn't merge together to become one giant caterpillar as he was glaring. "I have two quick things. First off, we are fine with McDonald's. Secondly, I eat there all the time and I'm not unhealthy." Lizzie hits me outside the head…again.

"Be respectful git! Or you will get sent back the in (Maybe replace with: Within the hour that you landed) hour you landed," Lizzie states.

"Hey would that be a new world record or something? OWWW! That hurt! What did you hit me with? A pipe?"

"No I left that at home" Lizzie jokes…or at least I hope she is joking.

"Hey Lizzie I think I see one of your fairy friends!"

"Really!" Lizzie says hopefully.

"No"

"kolkolkolkol"

"Shit!" I say taking off running towards the car as Lizzie follows me. I easily weave in and out of the crowd as I make for the airports doors. It is pouring outside but I still keep going till I am standing outside in the downpour. Lizzie soon stands next to me slightly out of breath. "Hehehe, Lizards breath I think you are getting old."

"Don't….call….me…..that. I am not old git." I use the time she is using to catch her breath to look around. There are a bunch of people and tour groups running around. I pull the collar of my jacket up and shiver slightly. The rain suddenly isn't there anymore and I look up to see Alfred holding an umbrella above my head.

"Thanks!"

"No problem."

"You shouldn't run off like that. You don't even know where the car is." Arthur lectures. My stomach growls. "Whatever you say Arthur lets go I am hungry."

"Fine" he says leading the way to the car. We all quickly climb in. I sit in between Alfred and …and oh I never did learn his name. "You never told me your name." He fixes his glasses and smiles. "Matthew Williams, I am the representative of Canada."

"Cool! Mattie has anyone ever told you that you're really quiet?"

"Anyone ever told you that you're really hyper?"

"Are you Alfred's brother? cause you kind of look like him."

"Yes. I get mistaken for him sometimes."

"Oh… May gets mistaken for me once in a while."

"She does?"

"Yep! It's weird cause she really doesn't look all that much like me."

"Beth who are you talking to?" Lizzie asks.

"Mattie! He is the representative from Canada!"

"But Beth…there isn't anyone there." Kae says trying to form the words carefully.

"Yes there is!"

"You're seeing things git. There is nothing there. Do we have to put you on medication?" Lizzie asks.

"Already on some, besides I don't hallucinate, unlike you and your flying mint bunny." Lizzie turns bright red and Arthur cracks a smile.

"Leave flying mint bunny out of this!"

"Fine, say hi to Charlie the Unicorn and Tinkerbell for me."

"His name isn't Charlie…"Lizzie mumbles under her breath as she glares at me. I grin and look out the window as we pull up to McDonalds. Alfred climbs out and holds the door open for everyone. I'm the last one out and I quickly pick up a conversation with him.

Once inside I bounce up to the counter and by the usual, 2 Big Macs, large fries and a smoothie. I go to pull out my wallet but Alfred is quicker. "My treat what do you say?" I look at him and grin. "Ok!" I grab my food and slide in to a booth next to May. I quickly eat my food and look over to where Alfred, Arthur and Mattie are sitting. Alfred's tray is full of burgers and fries. I watch as Arthur lectures him for eating all that junk food and ignore Lizzie as she starts to do the same.

When everyone is done eating we head for the car. "So where are we going now?" I ask.

"To the hotel." Arthur says.

"Oh ok then." And I watch as we head straight into the heart of D.C.
