About halfway through a small tropical storm decided it was going to rip through the Atlantic, with you and the plane in the middle of it. >Two and a half hours of non-stop turbulence before the aircraft finally broke out. >You were not a very happy camper. >Soon the line to the front moved enough for you to walk into that-thing-nobody-knows-the-name-of that connects the plane to the gate. >As you stepped off you breathed a fresh breath of air conditioning and too many people. >JFK International Airport. >One of America’s busiest airports. >Also a hub for transmitting disease, black market items, and other unsavory things. >The airports back home were so much cleaner. >Snapping out of your fantasy of home you remember why you were here in the first place. >You skim the tops of the crowds looking for-- Ah! There it is! >In the distance you see a spiky, blue haired boy in a leather jacket holding a sign up high that says: “Anon Ymous” >You weave your way through the crowds of people in the general direction of the boy. >Eventually you get close enough to wave at him to get his attention, to which he returns the gesture. >Another bout of crowd swimming and you come face-to-face with the boy. >He sticks out his hand in greeting. >”Hi there! You must be Anon. My name is Flash Sentry. Welcome to America!” >You smile and give the offered hand a firm shake. “Guten tag Herr Sentry! Ja my name is Anon, and thank you!” >”Well, should we get to the baggage claim then?” “Yes, let’s go.” >you both walked in a comfortable silence for the next fifteen minutes. >It probably took longer because of all the people running around and shoving you. >Fucking Americans >Not Flash though. For now he seemed to be an okay guy. >You reached the baggage carousel in due time and claimed your bags. >With all your belongings in order you turned to Flash. “How will we be getting to your home Herr Sentry?” >He laughed a little bit. >”I’ll be driving us there. Should be about a… three hour drive to Canterlot Hills.” >”And dude, if we’re going to be living with each other for the next school year, we might as well drop the formalities. Just call me Flash.” >This was off to a great start! >You had your reservations about this when you signed up for the program but those are slowly going away with each passing minute. >You can only hope it will remain that way. “I think I can do that, Flash.” >”Awesome. Let’s go then.” >Another long and pushy walk ensued to make your way to the parking lot outside the airport. >Outside was just a busy as the inside, impatient road-ragers looking for places or people screeching past in their pickups and priuses replacing the crowds. >Soon you and Flash found yourselves in front of his car. >It was… A Mustang. >*Le sigh >Americans. Americans never change. >You pack your bags into the trunk and get in. >Flash starts the car up and you’re on your way. >The ride wasn’t actually that bad, the road was smooth and the interior looked immaculate. >Flash obviously took very good care of his car. >He also didn’t behave like a typical American road hog either. >+1 respect for Flash. >The three hours flew by and you found yourself in a rich looking neighborhood suburb. >The houses here all looked so big! How can they afford to take up so much space?! >Back in Germany everyone lived so close together and big, private houses with yards were an expensive commodity. >Just one of the advantages of living the American Dream you guess. >Flash came to a stop in front of a large looking house on the right. >”This is me! I’ll help with your bags.” “Nein, I have it. Just open the doors from me, yes?” >You both got out and went your respective ways. >Flash opened the door as you came waddling up the steps with your bags. >Why did you pack so much shit? >You shuffled into the house as Flash closed the door and locked it behind you. >”Welcome to casa de Sentry! My mom and sister aren't home right now so we have the whole place to ourselves.” >He pointed to the large staircase that led to the top floor. >”Show you to your room?” “Ja, that would be good, I need to set these down.” >A short trip upstairs later and you find yourself in a nice looking guest room. >A full size bed, nightstand, chest-of-drawers, bathroom, and a damn walk-in closet! >You say again… Americans. >”I think i’m gonna head off. You make yourself comfortable alright?” “Ja , I can do this. Bis morgen!” >As Flash leaves to go to his own room you begin the long and arduous task of unloading everything from your bags into the respective places. >It was about three in the afternoon when you left Germany, so by the time you arrived the sun was starting to go down. >When you finished the sky to the west was a brilliant mix of royal purples, flaming oranges, and angry reds and the sun was just a sliver in the horizon of the distant New York City. >You didn’t feel tired, but you knew that was just the jet-lag talking, so you stipped down and crawled into bed to force yourself to sleep. >It was three days until the American school year started and you needed to be ready. >You are German Anon. And you get the inkling feeling that this year is going to be very, very, weird.
