" ...With no further or do, the institute Asiol's Protectors, sends you, Elouise Kenner, to protect celebrity Niall Horan from the active band known as One Direction." Commander Peterson looks up at me to find my expression.

My heart stops beating. This is crazy. Could this be real life?

Before I know it, my feet start shaking and I start jumping in excitement.

"Omigod!" I start to squeal, " Are you being for real?!" I ask Commander Peterson.

He nods with a grin. "See, I told you the quest was going to be something you would love to do."

"What is life right now?! Niall Horan will know I exist! Omigod, I have to tell my friends. They will freak when they hear about this."

"Okay now, calm down. We don't want to drag too much attention in here." Commander Peterson motions his hands up and down in order for me to keep patient and obey.

"Ha, we are in your office no one is going to hear." I speak.

"I know, but the secretary, Marise, might think we are having a make out session in here."

The fuck?

"You just turned this conversation into awkward avenue, Commander Peterson."

He chuckles a bit, "Marise is a gossiper around here," he motions the space around us." And she will do anything to ruin anyone's life's though."

The memory of how her husband accused my father that he supposedly had failed with his mission. He really accomplished it but they believed Marise's husband more than my own father.

"But still, making out in your office, really?" I make sure to add in.

"Anyways, you up for the quest?" Commander Peterson asks.

"Yes! Thank you so much for all of this," I gesture in front of us. " I finally will get too meet one of my favorite celebrities. Other than Jennifer Lawrence, which I helped protect last year and Josh Hutcherson also."

Niall Horan will know who I am in a day or two. Excitement runs through my entire body. I can't help but to squeal one more time.

"Now go tell your friends all about this. I know you are dying to do so." he smiles.

"You know me so well Commander Peterson." I comment.

I thank Commander Peterson for the fifth time before I leave.

As soon as I'm outside of the office, I jump up and touch the board of the door. Slam! Woohoo, this is the best day of my life. Marise just gives me a weird look. "Look away crazy bitch." I spit out on her.

Mona Lisa and Bebis are walking down the hall when I spot them. Bebis holds a breakfast burrito in one hand and a tube of lipgloss on the other. Yes, she can multitask. And then there is Mona, who just holds a towel above her fore head. Sweeping off any exes sweat. They must have been training.

I start running towards them to just spill the good news.

"Whoa, what's the rush Elouise?" she asks as I stumble into her because I can't seem to find my balance and my feet won't hit the brakes.

"Guess what my quest is?" there is a huge smile on my face that makes its way from ear to ear.

"I dunno? Tell us!" she exclaims.

"Okay, here goes... I'm going to protect Niall Horan!" both of their facial expressions change. There mouths hang wide open and their eyes lighten up.

"Are you serious?" they both ask at the same time.

I nod my head with glee. They look at each other and then back at me again.

"Niall Horan? From One Direction? The band that we really, really love?" Bebis asks.

I nod ferociously again.

They start squealing and clapping and blabber on and on about how they need to come with me so they can talk to the other four band members.

During the whole day at the institute all we ever talked about was on how great and lucky I was to spend time with Niall.

Mona Lisa, Bebis and I sat together at lunch like we always do.

"This is serious though," Mona kept talking. "Do you think Niall will like you? Oh, and Harry better be there saying goodbye so I can come with you." of course they would say this.

"Me too!" Bebis added. "I wanna meet Liam!"

"Totally! You guys can come with me." we all fangirl through lunch.

The day went quick. Literally, by quick I mean turbo fast.

Commander Peterson let me know that I had to pack all my stuff because they were going to send me with Niall to Los Angeles together tomorrow morning.

James was waiting for me at the parking lot out front of the Institute.

"What took you so long?" he picked himself up from the leaning position he was holding over the car.

"I was just talking to Commander Peterson about tomorrow's quest." I respond.

The air is humid outside. Maybe it rained and I didn't even notice. Huh, probably because of all those quest thoughts.

"When will you be leaving? And more importantly, when will you come back" James asked concerned.

"I leave tomorrow morning, but my return depends on when we get rid of Commander Iria."

I had almost forgotten about her. She wants to get ahold of Niall and marry him. People say she is crazy in the head. She is desperate for him. They say that once, she tried to convince management to force Niall to date her. Sadly, not really, she failed.

He responds with only one word.

"Oh."

"Mhm... now let's get going. I need to pack and all that other crazy stuff." James seems really sad on my departure to Los Angeles. This has never really happened, him all sad about me. It seems to me that he cares for me.

"Okay."

We get in the car and ride home. My mind and I can't wait until tomorrow. Niall Horan will know who I am.
