So we were there. Carvin's looking pretty ecstatic while Lairylle seemed bothered by something. "Hey Lay,you okay??" She got startled at me like she was in deep thought a while ago. "Oh don't worry about me. I'm fine.""Alright then,just don't be afraid to spill the beans when you need to okay??"" Will do." The elevator music just kept on playing. Lairylle was getting slightly annoyed by it,and was slowly getting more and more irritated. I haven't really seen her like this before and she's usually calm and patient, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried.

"Hey Carve,what floor is this elevator taking us anyway??""Uhhh...69 B...""Of course-""It was the first button my eyes landed on okay??!!""Mhmm." The elevator being made of glass allowed us to see all the other floors we pass by. There seemed to be an ancient roman library,something that resembles the insides of a space shuttle, an underground bunker, a floor for conserving old documents, It was a long trip, and judging by the buttons,we're passing all the 'A' floors.

'Carvin I get why you chose 69 but why 'B'??'

"It just suddenly popped in my mind okay??"

"...How did you know what I was thinking??" "You didn't say that out loud??" ".......No."

Lairylle just completely ignored our discovery with the elevator music filling her head. Suddenly the speakers exploded which caught us of guard. Carvin and I stared at Lay's startled face as she returned the stare. The elevator stopped moving and introduced us to floor 56 A. "We'll just use the stairs." Lairylle said. We walked through the floor which are actually catacombs,flooded with dirty waters. We grabbed our phones and turn on flashlight mode as we wade across the waters. I stopped to to observe one of the tombs. I dusted the plate to read the name 'Andres Bonifacio' engraved on it.

'No wonder no one have found his body...'

I catched up to the two and went on while they're having a conversation. "Do you really think that they won't get mad at me for destroying the elevator??" "You haven't even lain your fingerprints on the speaker. Besides,if they live a lifestyle full of cyberpunk tech,I don't see how a broken elevator will be a problem. Finally we saw an exit sign glowing green.

Carvin tried opening the door but it's not moving. "It's jammed,hey Lairylle,you think you can bust us out of this one too??""Try getting mad at it!!" I suggested. "This door is keeping us from seeing the others again. Are you seriously going to let that happen??We've survived a broken down rollercoaster, we survived a huge fall,we survived in a world completely foreign to humankind. We've come so far dammit. BREAK. US. OUT.!!" Carvin pressured her. Lairylle let out a battlecry and punched the door open. "I can get used to this." Carvin said ruffling Lay's hair.

Once we went up the stairs,we were suddenly on a backstage. We peaked from the curtains to see four blue-skinned men with wings sprouting from their backs, so we eavesdropped the whole thing.

"I know,I know. A human visitor is already peculiar enough, no less three." I can kinda identify who they are by the many flags in each feather of their wings. Theres ASEAN,NATO, EU and- "Which is exactly why we'll let them answer your questions." The UN, said,turning behind him to reveal the symbol of the globe,looking at us. Like he knew we were there all along. He gestured us near the speech pedestal and winked at us.

'I'm getting me some dumbledore vibes here...'

Now that we're actually in the platform,I can see the room clearer. It's like I'm in the supreme court,but with nearly 200 countries.

Someone raised their hand and tapped on the mic of their table. "Yes,Algeria?" "Ehem,yeah uhh..what's your relationship with each other? "Well,we're both classmates and bestfriends!!"Lairylle answered. "Moldova??""What's it like to be human??""Well,we have a shorter lifespan than you guys so It can be rushed. Usually it's school,work,have a family,retire,then die. It's really boring sometimes so we're actually kinda happy we're here!"I said. "Venezuela??""How do we know if we can trust you??""You guys are entire nations with your own army. No human with the right mind will fight against all that. Trust is up to you tho.."Carvin replied. "Japan??""What's your favorite anime??"".....""Really japan?" South Korea mouthed to him. "My hero acadamia!!" I casually said through the mic. Japan's face lit up and we agreed to watch the fourth season together.

Now that the meeting is over,we decided to explore the place more,this time tho,with a guide. We decided to stop at another floor for lunch. It was a huge all-you-can-eat with all the countries gathering. Some tables are placed like cute huts while others have a grill! We took a table with fairy lights and a brochure conveniently placed under the tissue box. 'Welcome! We introduce you to a buffet like no other! No table is the same. One table can levitate your food while another can create the perfect cocktail! Enjoy!!' "Awesome" Carvin said as the minute she touched our table,it unfolded itself to reveal shelves of potions! "Hey (y/n), should we trust this??""Well..." I looked around at all the countries enjoying their own tables. "They seem to be enjoying themselves,why can't we??""I guess..." Someone then tapped my shoulder and I turned around to see...

"Mind if we join??" Said a country with a red dragon and green stripe across his face. Judging by the people with him,they're the british isles

'Well Ireland technically is independent...'

"Not at all.Since you already have your plates full,could you guys watch the table for us? We gotta get our own food."" Sure!!" So we head to the buffet tables and took some food. The minute I scooped myself some rice,the plate filled itself again. 'Neat'

Once we actually sat down with our food,we decided to chow down. "Hey wait a minute,before you guys eat that,I wanna show you something." England(not UK) said. He took a potion bottle and dumped the contents in his food. It was like liquid fire. He took a bite of it and there was a little bit of fire in his mouth. "Uhh England, you got a little sumthin' on your mouth."Scotland said. "Pardon?""Ya got sumthin' on your mouth.""What?""YER MOUTH YOU FUCKIN' ROASTER!!""I can't understand A SINGLE WORD YOU'RE SAYING,YOU BLOODY WANKER!!""ALRIGHT BREAK IT UP YOU TWO!!" Ireland interveaned. Lay whispers to northern Ireland. "Does this happen often?""Yup."
