"Here we are." Grandfather says while bringing us to a small room that overlooks a gigantic room.
"What's going on?" Iris asks.
"They are putting plans together for the Changing later tonight." He says.
"I thought this was the Changing." I say confused.
"This is part of it." He says and puts his index finger to his lips.
"Organization and no violence is the only way we are going to get this done." Says someone in the room.
"We will make an emergency broadcast on every television screen in the country explaining exactly what will be happening." Another person states.
"We will tell them exactly what will happen calmly, then send a squad of troops to each state then they will start organizing."
"That method will take a while but it is the best and safest way to do this without conflict."
"Everyone who agrees to this method say 'I'."
"I." Says numerous voices.
"It's settled, we will now be living a new life as the new generation of Americans!"
"That was quite fast." Ash says surprised.
"Our meetings go very fast, and we have been planning the Changing method for years." Grandfather says.
"So they all knew about your plan?" i ask surprised.
"After seven years of working with the government and I believe they are trust worthy I tell them." He says.
"Wow." Iris, Ash and I say at the same time.
"Wow is right, I would probably be freaking out if I found all this out at your age. You're all taking this very well." He says and we nod.
"Go put something nice on, I am taking you all out for an expensive lunch to celebrate the New America." He says then we all run off to our rooms and put on the nicest clothing we were given.

I walk out of my room in a blue floral dress, I don't think I look amazing, but Ash obviously does because he had been staring at me since I left the room.
"You look beautiful." He says.
"You don't look too bad yourself." I say teasingly.
"Why thank you." He says.
"We should probably get Iris now." I say.
"Yeah, I wonder if they are forcing her into a dress. She doesn't seem like a dressy person." Ash says shrugging.
"I guess we will have to find out." I say sighing and dragging Ash to her door.
I knock on her door and she answers almost immediately.
My eyes widen, she is a knee length green dress that make her green eyes and blonde hair more vibrant.
"You look amazing." I say in awe.
"Thanks, you too." She says smiling.
"I'm surprised, you don't seem like a dressy person at all." Ash says surprised.
"I'm not really, but when I get my hands on a gorgeous dress I need to wear it." She says smiling.
"That's amazing, we need to get going. We are going to meet in the lobby, I think." I say.
"Yeah, let's go." Iris says and together we walk down stairs and go to the giant lobby my great grandfather told us to meet him and his guards.
