Yorktown
"Nnnnnnhaaayyyyahah!" Alex made the noise in the back of his throat as he ran. He dove behind one of the bins of toys, hearing the nerf bullets hit the bin with a dull thud. He grabbed his nerf gun and held it close to his chest before popping out and shooting. Thomas Jefferson fell to the ground, it had hit him in the head. Alex kept running and finally made it to the soldiers camp. Eliza, wearing a dark blue and white checkered flannel, was sitting in the camp, Peggy and John Laurens sitting next to her, frowning.
"Injured?" Eliza asked. Alex shook his head, he was panting from lack of air. "Need some refreshments?"
"Yeah..." Alex breathed heavily. Eliza reached into a small box next to her, retrieving a juice box and some fruit snacks.
"Would you rather animal crackers?" Eliza offered.
"No thank you." Alex answered, gulping down his apple juice and eating his fruit snacks happily. Once he was done he put the remnance in the trash and grabbed some more nerf bullets. He got his gun ready and walked out the camp. He ran to where the battle was. Joining Laf in a fight. He shot everyone he saw, and left no survivors before rushing Laf back to camp. Laf was grinning, a crazed glint in his eye. His hair was sticking out of his ponytail, giving him a mad-scientist vibe. He looked ridiculous, and Alex was very proud.
That is, until Mr.Washington walked in. "Alex." He barked.
Alex waved his hand. "Yes Mr.Washington?"
"We have to go, we're meeting Martha at the adoption services." He said. Alex grinned and ran to Mr.Washington.
"But who's going to take care of the preschool."
"My substitute. Mr.Miranda." Mr.Washington pointed at a rather young man that had long dark hair pulled up in a bun, in a style much like Alex's. Alex grinned.
"O-okay." Alex nodded, he smiled at the man.
"Hi." Mr.Miranda said, he walked to the front of the classroom and began to talk.
Alex bounced in his seat, he was in the back and they were on there way home. He was officially part of this family.
"I'm so happy!"He giggled.
"I am too!" Martha squealed slightly.
"Yay!" Alex clapped his hands and bounced in his seat.
"This is the best day." Mr.Washington said. He put his hand over Martha's and Alex then leaned forwards, plopping his hand over both of theirs.
"Yay." He said again, looking at his new parental guardians.
