Your life is normal right now, actually its always been normal, in fact its been great! You have a loving mother and father, but you moved away from them three years ago, even though it's a long trip from Middletown, Rhode Island to Nasons Virginia, you see each other often! You're not used to change, the only big changes you ever had were your sister marrying some rich guy in Georgia, she always was by your side, had sisterly advice to give you, and could make you laugh. She was only two years older than you, and its been a long time since you've seen her. The other big change was your adopted brother leaving you to pursue his own path when you were twelve. Things were normal, you were twenty-four, of marrying age, and was looking for someone, but you couldn't find "the one," until you met him...

An Autumn Ball, Albany, New York

You just had to go! Of course you went for fun, but... you would really like to meet someone sometime soon, you can't bear the thought of spending the rest of your life alone. You were wearing a purple dress with a white corset and white frills  on the dress. There seemed to be weird acoustics in this room and it was proved by... *Loud cough, * yep, that's what started it all, a cough. You turn around out of curiosity to see where it came from. It seemed to have come from a man sitting across the room being *ahem* "occupied" by a man with a magenta suit and curly hair, you recognized him instantly, Thomas Jefferson. Yes, you knew who he was, but didn't care for him. You agreed with quite of few of his political views and ideals, but you were disgusted by him, a slave owning, hypocrite, basta... I should probably stop there... But, the man who had coughed, he was wearing a yellow shirt and a light grey suit, he had a red face, which may be out of embarrassment, because everyone was staring at him, or because he was sick, or both! Since the man "occupying him" was Jefferson you assumed that he must be his um... friend, I guess? His name was um... oooh, something Madison was it John? No, um.. Jake, definitely not, oh! James, James Madison, that was it! You hadn't known much about him except that he stutters a lot, is really shy, and is almost always sick. But there was something you liked about him, something that you couldn't quite place... You just had to go up and say "hello," to him, here goes nothing!

You approached Madison and Jefferson, you said, "Hel-"before you could even finish saying hello, Jefferson interrupted you and said, "Why, hello there darlin,' and why would someone so pretty be coming over here? Madison turns around and rolls his eyes a little, which makes you giggle a little bit, Madison looks at you, then turns back around, you notice that he might've turned a little redder. You say back to Jefferson "Excuse me,"
you say very snappy, "but I wanted to speak with Mr. Madison." Jefferson turns red from embarrassment, then he says, "oh.. um... well, yeah..., I just have to, uh... yeah, um... by." Jefferson speed walks away. Madison gives you the YOU actually want to talk to me I'm just boring and lonely and shy, and you look really pretty and you're probably really smart and really amazing, and ahhh I'm going to explodeeeeee face. He blushes a bit and says, "Why do.. umm.. you want to talk to me, miss?" You smile at him and say, Oh, well I'm Y/N and I heard you coughing really loud, and say wanted to make sure that you were okay." He blushes even harder and says "Oh, uh.. thanks, I'm okay I get sick a lot..." You look at him worryingly and say, "Oh, well then, Mr. Madison, I hope you feel better, and um... don't catch another cold." "Wow, uh... Thank you," Madison says, "and please, call me James" You talk for hours about troubles, worries, politics, friendship, Virginia, The Revolution, New York, America, and so many other things, you even managed to make each other laugh. It was really late and you said "I really should get going, James.. oh, and one more thing!" James looks curiously at you as you write your address on a piece of parchment and hand it to him, as you say, "Will you write to me?" Madison says, "Of course I will!" He looks at the address and says excitedly, "Nasons, Virginia?! That's not far from where I live, Orange Virginia, although you probably already knew that, because, eh, um... you're really smart, Y/N... heh, heh..." You wave goodbye to each other as you both blush a little. As you're leaving you see Jefferson talking and yelling a bit at James, James says something to him, and Jefferson storms out giving you a glare as he walks out. You leave the ball, with only one man on your mind, and this is where our story begins...
