Jefferson and Hamilton randomly decided it was time to leave in the middle of the night, while they were thinking about the strange dreams they had. They both got up and packed, Hamilton finishing before Jefferson because he didn't have a small armory to worry about. So he decided to help with that.

Once everything was packed up, they made their way to the lobby, checked out, and wait for the valet to deliver their tank. It was probably better they decided to do this in the middle of the night rather than in the morning like they had intended. Imagine the traffic.

They threw in the bags with several heavy thuds and climbed in after them. Then the drove down the highway, getting out of town as fast as possible.

"This reminds me of Grand Theft Auto," Hamilton said randomly.

"What?"

"You know, steal a tank then drive down the highway and blow up cars. Now if only we had the cheat that could make it fly. That'd be a lot of fun. Or the one where if you bump into other cars, they explode."

"You're a very violent person," Jefferson commented.

"Where are we going anyway?" Hamilton asked.

"Rebel HQ, we've got to drop off this tank. I'm tired of having to worry about valets scratching the paint."

"Makes sense," Hamilton nodded. "Is Washington at HQ?"

"I thought he retired after the first war?" Jefferson asked.

"I don't think it entirely ended," Hamilton replied.

"Still, didn't he retire?"

"I dunno. Maybe. But that can't be right, he's so good for the cause."

"He's getting old, Hamilton, he deserves retirement."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Hamilton pulled out his phone to pass the time and stumbled across the news. "Hey Jefferson, we seem to be all over the news."

"Even the ones controlled by the government?"

"Yeah, our faces are plastered everywhere."

"Well, the rally definitely got publicity."

"Except now we'll be recognized wherever we go."

"Not much new there," Jefferson said, "Everyone knew me back in D.C."

"But I mean everyone. Store clerks, train ticketors, taxi drivers, everyone."

"So we lay low for a bit, let it die down."

"Jefferson, we are running a rebellion, we can't just go into hiding."

"Isn't publicity a bitch?"

"Yep, can't lay low without the rebels losing steam. Can't curse through the middle, or we'll get caught when no one's looking, just like the first time."

"So we get loud. Blow shit up."

"Steal another tank?"

"What was that you were saying about flying tanks? Why not find ourselves an airplane? Or better yet, an aircraft carrier."

"You're insane."

"I thought we discussed this already."

"Yeah, and it ended with us agreeing the whole world was insane, but you're beyond insane. You're psychotic."

"Good thing you are too, otherwise nothing we do would ever work," Jefferson smirked.

"I'm going to die."

"Perhaps."

"Real optimistic."

"I try."

***

They pulled their tank into rebel headquarters, pushed open the hatch and were instantly greeted with enthusiastic cheers. Jefferson climbed out and waved to the crowd, Hamilton emerged a moment later and they both bowed before jumping down and coming face to face with none other than Charles Lee.

"Lee," Hamilton grit his teeth, "What are you doing here? Didn't you get discharged?"

"Thanks to you, yes, but they won't let me leave since I know so much sensitive information," he replied, his tone cold.

"They should have you locked up in irons," Hamilton sneered, pushing past him and continuing on his way. Jefferson looked between the two, obviously missing something.

"What was that?" he asked, catching up to Hamilton.

"Lee was discovered to be a traitor right before the end of the first war, he'd been feeding intelligence to the government for a long time. It's one of the reasons we were having such a hard time."

"Ah. That makes sense."

"I hate him more than you, T. J," Hamilton said, referring back to their pamphlet war that both of them had completely forgotten about after their time in prison.

"If I'm going to be on your enemy list, I demand to be shown the proper respect I'm due and be number 1. Nobody can outdo Thomas Jefferson."

"You're an insufferable prick."

"Ah, but I'm the number 1 insufferable prick and that's all that matters."

Hamilton rolled his eyes and stopped a nearby person, "Where's General Nathanael Greene?" he asked. Hamilton was the leader of the New York forces, and Greene was Georgia. The man pointed at a large tent not too far off and then hurried on his way.

Hamilton and Jefferson entered the tent, "General Greene," Hamilton greeted upon entry, catching the man's attention.

Jefferson tossed him the keys to the tank as he turned around, "Brought you a present," he said.

Greene smiled and embraced Hamilton in a hug. "When I heard news of your death-"

"Believe me," Hamilton said, holding up a hand, "We were just as shocked as you."

"We came by to drop off the hunk of explosive metal and check in, see if there were any commands available. I've come to enlist," Jefferson explained.

"Big plans to fulfill? Tanks not enough? It's about time Jefferson." Greene asked, "I imagine after what you two went through, you probably want to burn a few buildings to the ground. Washington will be thrilled to know you're finally joining us."

"Buildings. Cities. Armadas. Who knows," Jefferson commented. "Just crossing things off the bucket list, cause I have one of those now."

Green laughed. "No, there isn't much to do yet, check in with your regiment, make sure they're in order, then you can take off if nothing comes up. But be on call. Jefferson, you should probably talk to Washington for assignment. I believe Virginia is in need of a command. And I'm sure Washington is anxious to see you, Hamilton."

"Of course, sir," Hamilton said.

"Washington hasn't retired?" Hamilton asked.

"He did, but he got pulled back in when all this started up again," Greene explained.

Hamilton and Jefferson said their goodbyes and headed straight for Washington's tent. Upon entry, Hamilton was immediately suffocated by a hug, thankfully, it was short lived. Jefferson nodded his greetings. "Sir."

"Jefferson, I hear you and Hamilton stole a tank. I didn't imagine you were the type."

Jefferson smiled, "I may not have enlisted in the last war, but I did fight."

Washington nodded. "Are you saying you're offering your services?"

"That's correct."

"Excellent! That's good to hear. The Virginian force is already well acquainted with you so I see no reason not to give you that command."

"You honor me."

"Go see them and then you can come back for more debriefing." Jefferson nodded and went to inspect his men, leaving Washington and Hamilton to catch up. They'd be in the barracks, probably.

As soon as Jefferson left Washington hugged Hamilton again. "Tell me everything."

Jefferson walked inside and looked around. No one noticed him at first, so he plopped down at a card table with several other people and said, "Deal me in, would ya?"

They looked up and grinned. "Jefferson! Sir! It's great to see ya! How long had it been?" asked a guy named Connor.

"A year-ish I think? Lost track," Jefferson said.

"Did you give them Goveys what they deserved?" asked Rachel.

"I'm nowhere near done," Jefferson replied.

"Heard you stole a tank in the middle of a rally battle and then drove it down the highway like a prize," O'Malley said.

"And then had a valet park it at my hotel."

Everyone burst out laughing.

After lots of catching up with every person there, which took hours, then he explained that he'd enlisted and was now their General. Which they all took really well, might even say happily. They went through the usual drills, Jefferson remembering exactly what he used to watch the men do whenever he'd visit. He studied this plenty and knew what to do, and anything that he didn't, he could ask Hamilton or Greene about.

The 5 Crucial Phases of Successful School Event Planning

School events are perfect times to showcase kids’ talents. Parents rejoice watching their little bundles of joy singing, dancing, playing, and performing activities they learned in the school they chose for their kids. Since there are kids, parents, and grandparents involved, managing delegations and maintaining discipline becomes a challenge for most. However, planning for a successful school event takes a lot of creativity and attention to detail. The school event management process from start to finish involves five crucial phases that we will discuss below.

1. Event Conceptualization While conceptualizing the school event, it is critical to determine these pointers:

• Purpose of the Event: Planning for a school event may have varied purposes, whether to showcase talent, raise funds, or host an award ceremony. Some schools also organize annual functions, sports events, science fairs, or art exhibitions. Whatever the event’s purpose is, it is essential to define it clearly from the very beginning.

• Event Attendees: Another vital pointer to determine while planning a school event is the attendees coming to the function. Consider whether the guests will be the students only, their parents also, or any random individual who buys tickets to the event. Some VIP guests may also attend the event, who may require special seats and arrangements.

Ticket Delivery - Options and Considerations

When it comes to selling tickets online, one concern is how and when the buyer is going to get the tickets and how the event organizer can provide fast, easy, reliable and cost-effective methods for ticket delivery.

The most common delivery methods are:

•          E-Tickets (Buyer prints their tickets at home)

•          Digital Tickets (Buyer has the ticket on their smartphone)

•          Will-Call (Buyer picks up their tickets at the venue or other designated places)

•          Mail (Buyer receives their tickets in mail)

Ticketor fully supports all these delivery methods. The event organizer should offer a couple methods to make sure it is convenient for all buyers. The offered methods can change from event to event and from time to time. For example, you can offer “Mail” for early buyers while last-minute buyers won’t have the option. Or you can add or remove a delivery method at any time during the sale.

Time required for shipping and handling:

Some delivery methods have to stop a certain amount of time before each event to give you enough time for delivery. Some others don’t require this time and can continue till the end of sale.

A 9-Step Guide Event Marketers Must Use to Promote Through Instagram Stories

Event marketers can attract audiences and make an upcoming event a success only if they promote it properly. Earlier, event organizers used to market their events through flyers, billboards, and hoardings. Then came the power of the internet, which event marketers used to spread the word through emails and other online means. However, new-age marketing professionals know how promotion through social media can effectively promote an event and attract audiences to it.

One of the most effective platforms to promote an event through social media is Instagram. Let’s see why and how to promote an event through Instagram stories.

 Why Instagram Stories?

The primary reason why Instagram Stories are so successful in marketing is that people want to hear, see, and learn, but they have limited time. Instagram Stories are 15-second videos that automatically disappear within 24 hours of posting. When active users log in to their app, they see these stories on top of their page rather than in the feed that goes down with time.
