The Trip to the Government Building

"Woah, I've never been out of country before," Prometheus says looking out of his plane window.

"What do you think New America will be like," a girl sitting next to Prometheus says smiling at him.

"I think it will be exactly like old America."

The girl chuckled, "Why do you say that?"

Prometheus blushed as he turned to look at the girl and saw her smile, "I mean, they named the country after the old one and just slapped on new onto it to make it seem new."

"That would make sense."

The two awkwardly get silent, they sat at their seat nervously and subconsciously let their shoulders touch each other's. The class had just started their journey to New America, a 9 hour plane ride. For the first 2 hours, Prometheus indulged himself on history videos. At first he watched them by himself, but his friend supposedly got bored of listening to her music and started watching them with him.

After a few history videos Prometheus and his friend fall asleep together, she falls asleep on his shoulder, as he rests his head on her head. It wasn't long til Prometheus woke up, 5 hours had past, and everyone else on the plane was asleep. He looked over to his friend, shaking her, whispering her name. "Clementine, wake up."

Clementine cuddles closer to Prometheus, "Geez what am I going to do with you," Prometheus says aloud alerting a classmate in front of them. The classmate turned around, peeking over his seat to look at the Prometheus.

"What are you two love birds doing?"

"Moroccos turn back around."

"Why would I listen to you 16? How about you order me around when you reach level 17? Wait. By the time you reach level 17, I'll be level 18."

"You're talking mad shit for a booster."

"Booster? All of my XP is legit, you should be able to tell you normie."

Prometheus begins to retaliate, but he catches himself. At moments like these, I should just ignore the bully and he'll eventually go away, he thinks to himself as he closes his eyes. He lays his head back on Clementine's head and tries to fall back asleep, while Moroccos continuously taunts Prometheus until the teacher of their class decided to step in and quiet Moroccos down.

As the plane landed, everyone was awaken by the pilot getting on the loud speaker, "Attention class of 3032, we have arrived at our destination. Everyone please wake up if you're tired." Everyone rose up stretching, they packed up their things and grabbed their bags. Once they were all out of the plane and into the airport, the class was directed by their teacher to follow a man in an all black suit.

Prometheus and Clementine held hands as they dragged their bags along behind the class.

"That guy is huge," Clementine whispers to Prometheus, "What level do you think he is?"

"He's got to be at least 60. Being an official guard for the government gets you a bunch of XP."

Clementine leans over to look at Prometheus which causes him to blush, they continued moving at a constant pace to keep up with the group.

"Hmmm."

"What, Clem?"

"When are you going to get that big Pro?"

"Big!" Prometheus becomes flustered as he blurted that out causing some people in the class to look back. Most of them knew that the lovers were just being cute with each other, it was a common occurrence. When everyone faced forward again, Clementine laughed leaving Prometheus with a sense of embarrassment.

The man from the government led them to a tinted out, black bus. The drive took a few hours, but it allowed the class to see many historic sites that showed the footprint of their ancestors. Sites such as the Statue of Liberty, a rebuilt Empire State Building, and other Washington D.C. monuments.

The man from the government that was driving them, stopped the bus in front of the government building, he got off first, then the rest of the class who left their belongings on the bus. By the time the whole class was off the bus, the man had already vanished from them. A woman took his place, she seemed to look more of a tour guide than the man who looked like a security guard.

"Welcome Class of 3032 to the New America Government Building!" Their tour guide was energetic, which was the complete opposite of the rest of the class.

"As you may already know, your first day in New America will be visiting our Government Building."

Moroccos raises his hand, in which our tour guide pointed at him, "Yes, do you have a question?"

"Yes, what is the point of us going here? Can we just move onto the beaches?"

"Well sir, you guys are all graduating in 2 years, right? When you graduate you may want a job here, or even in any other branch of government. Plus we had to make the trip somewhat educational or you wouldn't be able to just go to the beach," she said chuckling. Though no one else joined her in her chuckle. She felt hurt but knew that this was just how teenagers are.

She continued the tour by guiding the children through the building, they were all forced to get themselves checked for any weapons and had to get their stats checked. They did this by first opening up their menu, then simply sharing it with the security guards. No one truly knew why they needed to check their stats, but the government themselves.

After getting checked they moved to the second floor of the building, there were an assortment of weapons and artifacts.

"This building functions as both a museum and headquarters for government officials. Take your time looking around and we will be moving onto the many jobs we have available in a few moments."

Everyone in the class aimlessly walked around the museum, looking at the many artifacts that interested them. In particular, Prometheus grew interested in a small cross that had a man on it, with a crack that ran through the middle of the cross. He stared at it with wonder as Clementine stared at it with him.

"What is it," she asks.

"I think it's called a holy cross. Our ancestors used it as some kind of instrument for their religion, I think. I don't know much about it, but I wanted to know more about," Prometheus says looking over to Clementine who looked invested on what he had to say. Suddenly Prometheus falls over knocking into the cross that was in a glass display.

"Woah, watch where you're standing 16," Moroccos laughs as he walks away from shoving Prometheus. While he walked away back to his group of friends, Prometheus was barely able to catch himself and the display before Clementine was able to help him up and put the display in order.

"Moroccos is such a dickhead," Clementine says with a clear anger in her voice. "How come you haven't told Ms. Ivan about this?"

"It wouldn't change anything," Prometheus said as he recollected himself, "As long as I'm a lower level than him, he will still come at me."

Prometheus had anger written all over his face, a type of anger that Clementine hasn't seen for a long time. She knew that he was angry, too angry to even be calmed down. "That bastard almost destroyed a historical artifact." Prometheus clenched his fist and stared down Moroccos. Suddenly he got a notification from his system that caught him off guard.
