(Note: This book version is very different from the original ones in the Book o' Randoms, so take note of the changes in the story. Get me?

And don't mind about the weird, inappropriate nicknames to some of the guys in the story. It's kinda how I say it, no offense to history lovers.)

It was a normal morning day aboard the Dropship, and while it still headed across space towards one of the Skeld ships, George Washington (GW, for short) was standing a few inches apart from the computer, feeling a bit too bored from waiting by himself.

Of course, he had known how to play the game, and when he got tired of his usual playing with public servers, decided to create his own and invite the other famous American presidents over to play, too.

(To be noted, every President in this story has an assigned color and nickname in the game. GW chose Blue, which stands his revolutionary status and legacy, not to mention his favorite color, too.)

GW: Oh good God, what's taking them so long? I have joined and understood this game for days of joining random servers already, yet not a single one has joined in my server yet! After all, it's obviously the reason I created my own today!

His Founding Father friend Thomas Jefferson (Tom) was there first-hand before he complained those words, sitting still on a seat nearby. He wore a Green suit just to identify himself.

Tom: Are you going to do that same thing all day, George?

GW (impatient): Why would I? I have given away the code for this server to the other Presidents and they don't seem to respond to my message-

Abraham Lincoln (Abe) then enters the server, surprising GW, only to arrive in a Yellow suit.

GW (to himself): ...never mind.

Abe (looking at the others): I've finally arrived... Hold on, that feels too quiet. (To Tom and GW) Are you two the only ones here?

Tom: I arrived here first. And yes indeed.

Abe (looking at his color) I rest my case. And yellow doesn't match me, I would say. Too bright. (Goes to the computer, changes his suit color to Gray) Much better.

Two more Presidents then came in the server. John Adams (John) and Theodore Roosevelt (Teddy) arrived at the same time, only that Teddy arrived almost a second late.

John (surprised to see Tom in a corner, now annoyed): Ohh no, not that hermaphrodite again.

Tom: Adams, please, we've talked about this. (To Teddy) You came just in time, Theodore.

Teddy (looking proud): Bully! I do agreed to join this game of what Washington has spoken of. (whispers to John) And I don't have an idea what that was, in my opinion, until today.

John (whispers back): Me neither.

Teddy: I agree! I have to borrow my great-grandson's computer to play this interactive amusement of the 21st century!

GW: Can you just choose a color for yourself and move on?

John: Sure. (Goes to the computer, changes colors to Lime) At least we have almost the same color, aren't we, Tom?
