Philidosia

The duel

Philip's POV

"Meet the latest graduate of king college" I brag

"Meet the lates GRADUATES of Kings college" Theodosia chimes in

It cost an arm and leg to get her in but we did it.

"We shouldn't brag but man we amaze the scholars" She proudly says

I lift her off the ground and spin her around

"Hehe weeeeeeeee" she giggles

Yea we may have had a few drinks to celebrate

I put her down as I notice a group of kids talking about us and pointing.

Theo's POV

Despite Philip's protests I grab his arm and we walk towards the gossipers.

"People talk about us all the time just let it go" He whined

"I don't think they are talking bad about us but we need to know what all the gossip is about"

We finally approach them and they all got scared. They looked like a bunch of 12 year olds.

Philip's POV

They started to run but I grabbed one of them.

"So kid hehe what's the gossip about" Theo asked

She had WAY more than a few drinks

"Theodosia go to your house I'll meet you there your too drunk"

"No I'm fine weeeeeeeeeee" she started to fly like an airplane

"Escort her to her house and come back here" I tell the kid

"George Eacker talked trash about your dad at the 4th of July speech" He blurted it all out an ran away.

I picked Theodosia up and carried her home. It was a good thing her dad was out of town so I could stay over until he came back. I need to find George Eacker.

Theo's POV

Philip laid me on my bed and gave me a kiss on the forehead then left the house. I fell asleep for a couple hours than woke up and realize that he wasn't here still. I went into my dad's room to use the bathroom since it was closer to my bedroom and noticed a sheet on the ground.

Candidates for next presidential election

There were a lot of names I went down until I saw
Aaron Burr

No.
Yes.
Yay.
Boo.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Philip comes back home with a pistol in his hand. He doesn't noticed that I was at his front door and tries to hide it behind his back.

"Philip"
"Hi"

"What are you doing with a pistol!?"

"...I challenged Eacker to a duel"
A wave of fear flew over me. I wanted to break down in seconds. A DUEL!? People get killed in those every year.

"PHILIP NO PLEASE DON'T"

"Who's going to stop me" He said with an evil grin

"I will"

"Pfft Eacker must die"

"I totally agree but if you miss and he doesn't" A tear rolled down my eye

"Please Promise you won't do this"

He sighed

"I promise"

Philip's POV
Fingers crossed!
