June 12, 2173

Ash, Iris, and I are running at top speed to the dining room, where we promised to meet my great grandfather.

"We are ready!" I yell when we get to the dining room.

"Follow me." Grandfather says and we obey. "This is the room where the meeting was but now there is fifty helicopters, for some troops, one for each state."

"How long will this part take? The helicopter part." I ask.

"Only a few days, we are only watching the television broadcast and the troops boarding the helicopters, that's the only part we can watch." He says.

"When will the meeting take place? The one where we finalize the laws, and stuff." Ash asks.

"When all the troops come back." He says. "Ah, the troops are boarding the helicopters now."

All the solders are piling into the helicopters with about fifty people in each.

"After everyone gets on we will go to my private sitting room and watch the broadcast." Grandfather says as everyone finishes piling into the vehicles.

"We should probably leave now, a helicopter by itself is loud, but fifty could be unbearable for some peoples ears." Iris says and leaves the room.

"Let's go and turn on the television." He says and leaves after Iris then Ash and I follow.

We follow grandfather to his private sitting room and he turns on the television then seconds later the broadcast begins.

"Citizens of the Society, today we are preparing our country for one of the biggest changes in the history of the Society.

We will send each helicopter to a different state and prepare you for what is to come in the next few months to a year.

We are changing this horrid country and make it back the way it was before - America.

After we prepare our states we will begin to finalize the laws on changing our name, and laws back to how they were before.

We are going to live a brand new life as Americans, but without our troops we would never be able to live the life we are about to live.

You will get the freedom to choose, and love when ever you want.

Former criminals Jessamine Cicely and Ash Tate have fought and rebelled against the Society and have finally got what they believe in-

America.

The country we are going to be living in will make everything more peaceful and free - the way it should be.

Everyone will be free, we will all have the freedom to choose.

We will choose our own jobs, schools, and everything else we want to achieve in life.

We can make our own businesses and hire our own employees.

We can do everything we weren't able to do as citizens of the Society.

We will be able to do them as Americans.

Let's do this together, let's do this the American way."

"That's it?" Ash asks.

"That's it." Grandfather says. "You should all get some rest, we have a long couple of days ahead of us."

I nod and stand up then walk to my room then I change into some more suitable clothes for sleeping.

I get comfortable in bed and close my eyes.

In the last few weeks we have all made many decisions.

Some of them were right and a lot of them were wrong.

I just hope that the biggest choice we made so far isn't the wrong choice - the making of America.
