Yakuvony-Nirish Conference [Closed]

Jordon Semenova paces back and forth in his house. A huge grin spread across his face as he held an envelope from Yakuvony in his hands. The contents of the envelope were not opened up, but since it had the National Seal, he knew that it was official. His advisor came into the room. Semenova put down the letter. “Good morning, Allen!” he said as he greeted the man, shaking his hand. “So, what’s the morning report?” he asked in a cheerful tone. Allen pulled out his reading glasses and placed them on gently and delicately. He pulled out the folded piece of paper that he had been storing in his back pocket. He cleared out his throat and started to read the contents of his morning report.

“Well, sir. Starting over in the north, we had a new proposal to build a new system with Ulstome that would connect our nation with Ulstome to us Nirish via train. Ulstome is considering the plan and we expect to receive a response in around six days, maximum. Next, we have a group of High Schools known as “the Camino Lane” who are basically ranging from Lion Prep down to Alexis High School, who are calling for a chance to go on a cruise down to the southern tip of the world to see the Southern Aurora. And then we got an invite to a summit from the state of Yakuvony, and we are requesting that we send a professional and amateur delegation. There are five schools that applied for this chance, and we pulled out two; one known as the Oak Park Academy and the other known as the Emerald School. The Oak Park Academy delegation would be headed by Henry MacDonwald, and would have a delegation size of eight. The Emerald School delegation is headed by Robin Stewart and would have a delegation size of six.”

Semenova nodded lightly at the thought of the amateur delegations and tried to choose which one. He thought for a quick second. “Let’s go with… the Emerald School,” he said at last as he sent his letter to the leadership of Yakuvony.

Dearest President Yurievich,

We thank you for your invitation to your marvelous country so that the Republic of Nirey can move forward on the global diplomatic stage. For too long have we sat dormant and as the new nation on the block and now we are in need of diplomatic relations with nations outside of Icenia and that are not our neighbors. We thank you for the gracious invitation and we are proud to say that we will be attending the meeting.

We plan on sending two delegations. One of which is part of their school’s outreach program. The Emerald School is a school in Aska Falls, a community of Brooksyana. The academy comprises an elementary school, an intermediate school, and an upper school. The school's motto is "Inspiring our Future by Leading with Temperance". Led by Ms. Robin Stewart, this delegation comprises six students. They will be taking notes to put back in the form of a slideshow presentation in which they will present to their classmates in the upper school. We have them booked to stay at the Letov Hotel. They will be flying in on Friday.

The other delegation that we are sending a team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that has not been assigned an embassy. This is a delegation of three men who are accompanying me and my wife. The names of the men are Reed Romanovich, Allen Petrovich, and Kyle Boleslaw. We will be flying in on Friday as well on the Nirish Leadership Jet.

We hope to see you on Friday,

Kind Regards,
Jordon Semenova

2 Days Later - THE EMERALD SCHOOL - 6:45 PM

The classroom was light while the outside was dark and cold. Parents and students alike were at the parent meeting before the trip to Yakuvony for a regional summit. Parents sat in the back and the six students were in the front. Gazes from student to parent were exchanged as the students were given their T-Shirts that they would be wearing to the airport on that Wednesday. Mr. Shulman exchanged a look with Ms. Stewart before he took the microphone. "Hello, parents. We are here for the meeting with some of the students that we knew could handle an opportunity like this," he said as he changed the slide. Once the slide turned to the travel plans, everyone's eyes were glued to the screen. "So, first things first, the event will be held in the Beloye Zdaniye in Yakuvony for a seven-day-long Summit between Nirey and Yakuvony. Our students will be able to spend time with world leaders and diplomats and advocates. Here is Ms. Stewart who will lead our delegation," said Mr. Shulman as she turned the amplifier to Ms. Stewart. She tested it out and began to speak once more. "So, for travel plans, everything is tentative. We will definitely fly ShanAir out of Shannon International Airport at precisely 8:30 in the morning on that Friday. We thought we could do it at night, but it would be hard to meet at that point at night and not be late for the opening ceremonies. In other words, students, it is your responsibility to get the advanced absence forms into Mr. Dixon in time. We will make a very quick layover in Hamilton. That is where we will have time to have lunch as a group as well as switching terminals as I believe the International Terminal for trans-ocean flights," she said.

"After our layover, we will board another jetliner. It will have a left, right, and middle row, so students can be in the same area. We know for a fact that we will be in the middle of the plane, but we do not know which rows we will have. Then, we will fly out of the same airport we flew into. We will have another layover in Hamilton. However, this one will be longer, so we will have time to travel around the city. We will likely see the Snow Scraper, Air and Space Museum, eat lunch, and maybe even take a boat tour. Our layover will be around ten hours. Then, after this layover, we will return home where you will be free to be picked up by whoever is here that is your parent or guardian." The students each nodded as the slide turned, "For packing, you will be packing for an eight-day-long trip, ten counting the travel days. Pack wisely and have a suitcase that has enough space. You will need to pack a pair of pajamas, eight or nine shirts, three pairs of shorts, five pairs of pants, one or two pairs of shoes, a notebook, pen, headphones and a phone for the plane ride or anything, charger, a swimsuit since the hotel will have a pool, a hat, sunscreen, normal toiletries, and a dressy outfit for dinners," she said. The slide changed to a slide regarding travel expectations. Ms. Stewart cleared her throat and spoke. "We expect you at 8:30 and no later. We need you to follow all school rules as there will be six of you and one of me. Remember to not be noisy or obnoxious at any point on this trip, not saying you will. We are representing our school, county, city, and nation. We expect you all to behave so we can keep on doing so." She turned to the last slide. "Communication... We will all be in touch through SkiMail,” she said as she put up a slide with the QR Code, “Scan this QR code once you get the application and we will add students to a group chat and parents to another. This is an easy way of communication as not everyone here has an international data plan."

Carson nodded. He was excited because this would be his first international summit and he will spend it with six of his friends. Mr. Shulman turned towards the parents. "Now that you have had this orientation, please step into Ms. Stewart's room to wait for your students while we talk to them. Parents did as they were told and exited the room. Once the parents had left, the door was shut. "Alright, guys. You all are awesome. However, I just want to run a debrief by you guys because it seemed that some of you had been spaced out," he said drawing laughter. "We meet at 8:30 at the airport. If you guys want to, we can make a plan for us all to meet at school before school starts at 7:45 and we can take the Expedition down to the airport and we can all be there as a group. However, the only problem is the luggage situation. However, we can make it work. Next, remember to bring a notebook as well as packing diligently. You will have carry-ons, but be sure to pack the things you need for the plane in there. We will all check-in as a group at the airport, and once you are done with checking your bags in, you will hand your passport over to your teacher. We will be staying at the Letov Hotel. Any questions?" Nobody raised their hand and Mr. Shulman smiled. "Good! You guys are dismissed. Remember. Tomorrow morning!" The students scattered and the teachers each left to get their classrooms set for the substitute teachers for the next week.

Dáire, Nirey - Departure of the President

Jordan Semenova finished packing up his bags before making his exit out of the house. The rolling green hills of Nirey were special and gleamed in the morning sun. He felt the crisp, cool air fall onto his skin sending a cool sensation down his spine. A small shiver was let out from him as he began to feel the chills coming with this new feeling. He tried his best to shrug it off, but it came to no avail. It was cold, he was tired, and he needed to get on the plane fast. He rushed with his suitcase and got onboard. He took a seat in one of the luxury seats quickly and strapped himself in. His wife followed suit as she undid her umbrella.

"You know, you didn't have to leave your wife in the cold..." she said with a smirk,

"I kinda did..."

"Did you, now?"

She mocked him as she kissed him lightly and took her seat. She took a drink and sipped it as the plane took off to Yakuvony. Semenova shrugged as he began to see the town's skyline for the first time in months. He was mesmerized by the beauty of it all and he gave a light smile. "Finally able to get out of the house, I see," the First Lady smirked. Semenova gave a small laugh as he began to review his notes for Yakuvony.

------------------------------------


THE EMERALD SCHOOL

The car pulled up in the parking lot at school. Students were getting ready to start the school day in the cold morning. Advanced absence forms had already been filled out by the students of the Emerald School. The morning was overcast and cold. However, through the mix of the frenzy in the Middle School Parking Lot, students of the delegation of Nirey were standing with their bags. A Nirish Car Brand, Nyord Expedition, lined up near the parking lot ready to take the students to the airport. The driver, Ms. Mildred, waited at her car while Ms. Stewart placed her bag in the trunk to close it off as she called the names of all four students chosen to represent Nirey in Yakuvony.

"Roma?"
"Here."
"Jok?"
"Here."
"Abby?"
"Here."
"Bobi?"
"Here."
"Carson?"
"Here."
"Kayla?"
"Here."

One-by-one, names were called for the students on the delegation. Carson shut the trunk to a loud thud behind it. Seven bags in the back and onto the airport. He looked at Kayla, who looked just as nervous as he was. "You ready?" he asked. Kayla shook her head lightly but gave a small smile. He extended a hand out towards her. "I'm Carson," he said as Kayla shook it. "Kayla. I go Bishop's." Carson nodded as they each beamed a smile before turning away from each other. Carson pulled out his phone from his backpack. There, several texts showed up. One from Abed, his close friend as well as two from Andrew and one from Nikita. He looked out the window one last time before he noticed the Lower, Upper, and Middle School waving them off.

Students were bearing flags of Nirey and were waving them. Some others had signs that had all sorts of messages in them. Lower School students all bounced on their toes and they waved goodbye to their Upper School counterparts that were on their way to this Conference and wonderful diplomacy-opportunity in Yakuvony. The students waved to the send-off party as they pulled off into the road and onto the freeway. The car ride was boring and the students had nothing to do for the time being. They waited for fifteen minutes before the sight of the airport came up. Carson pumped his fist in the air as soon as he was able to locate the airport. His hands and face were glued out the window at the planes landing and taking off from both terminals. The car came off the freeway and into the Aladdin Parking Lot. As soon as the car came to a complete stop outside of the station, Ms. Stewart exited the Expedition. She walked into the port and came out with the shuttle assignment. The six students came out of the Expedition after thanking their bus driver. The students went over to Ms. Stewart. Ms. Mildred unloaded the luggage and placed them in front of the shuttles in no particular order.

Students nodded as they took their bags and boarded the buses. The luggage was placed onto the racks and the students took their seats on each shuttle. "Welcome to Aladdin!" the shuttle one bus driver said as he boarded the bus. "Where are you guys headed?" he asked. Ms. Stewart gave a smile as the six tired students dozed off into the eyes of their friends. "We are headed to Yakuvony," he said proudly. The bus driver nodded and gave a small smile to everyone. Carson started to doze off and look out the windows at the terminals and the planes that were parked. As they passed terminal one, he noticed a group of jets that seemed to be representing Southeast Airlines. Then, as they got closer to terminal two, he noticed the signs that signified that more airlines flew out of terminal two. The bus stopped on the bottom level of the ShanAer portion of the airport and the students each got up. They grabbed their luggage and carry-on bags and thanked the bus driver before going out of the bus and into the building. Carson walked with his friends as they walked up the escalator and waited for their staff members on the upper floor.

Carson took a seat as he waited for Ms. Stewart to come back to tell them to get in line. Then, he started to look around. The sun was starting to creep through the windows and the check-in windows for Omega Airways, ShanAer, and Dela Air Ways were starting to open. He noticed that the airline staff were giving each other dirty looks and he chuckled at that fact. The students walked over to Ms. Stewart to retrieve their passports and rushed his way into line with his backpack and his suitcase. The scent smelled of flowers, fuel, and food. The front desk looked at him and gave him a small grin. "Welcome to ShanAer, a proud member of the Nirish Airline Group. Please hand me your passport." Carson nodded and handed his passport to the front desk. She examined the passport. "Name?"
"Carson Walker,"
"Birthday?"
"26 December 2004,"
"Where are you traveling to?"
"Yakuvony. Layover in Legacy."

The woman stamped the passport. "Please place your bags up here that you want to check-in." Carson did as he was told and he placed his suitcase on the scale. The woman nodded, put some marks on her clipboard, and put the suitcase on the conveyer belt. She handed Carson back his passport, and with what looked like a mixture of a fake smile and a real one, she said. "Enjoy your trip!" Carson took his backpack and walked towards Ms. Stewart. She guided him, Kayla, and Jok through the security checkpoint to meet Roma, Bobi, and Abby. He waited in line before he got to the front and pulled out his student ID, and gave it to the security guards at the front. "Greetings, Carson. Go through line B." Carson did as he was told and took a bin. He took his phone and wallet from his pocket and placed them both into his backpack and placed his backpack into the bin as it passed through the security checkpoint. As soon as it came out the other side, he met up with Jok. They walked around the airport to buy breakfast before they boarded the plane. Jok found a small coffee shop and they each ordered and sat down. They took a long look around the airport terminal and took note of how beautiful the terminal was. The coffee shop was next to Gate A33 through A41, so they were able to take looks at the planes taking off. Once they finished their meals, they made their way over to the gate to prepare for boarding. They took note of where their groups were standing and they got into line accordingly. The PA came on the microphone only five minutes later. "ShanAer flight 1872 on nonstop service to Legacy is now boarding at Gate A22." The doors opened and the check-in stand started to take passengers through. Ms. Stewart led the line and the students followed suit. They boarded the plane in an ordered single-file line. They found their seats in an organized fashion. They witnessed everyone else take their seats and soon, the plane was full.

The airline safety video came on and the plane started to taxi. Carson took a short look at his two neighbors, Jok and Roma, before he turned back to the safety video. He looked at the window and looked at the wing as the plane was taxiing. He took note of the freeway as well as the cars that were on the freeway as well as the planes that were in front and behind their ShanAer airliner. The plane started to move faster and faster until they found themselves off the ground. Carson started to follow his neighbors' influence and drift off to sleep as the flight was making its way over to its layover stop in Legacy. He was excited about what this trip would bring for him and what kind of friendships would be built on and even created.
