Traversing through the two americas a mahogany carriage being pulled by great many thestrals, invisible to many muggles and wizards alike. The Carriage passed though great many mountains and seas and was about to reach it's destination.
Inside the carriage most were awake and about having some pleasant conversation with each other while having lunch. It was nice and quaint moment which was rather short lived since suddenly from the back of the carriage a blood curdling scream was heard by everyone.
Ed was the first one to reach the room from where the blood curdling screech was coming from. He found the door wide open and Jon half naked with his wand ready in his hand pointing at the two men in Jon's room.
They had been recently deployed my the ministry for Jon's safety. He had a crazed look on his face or was it fear. Ed determined walked closer and put his hands up and calmly talked to Jon, "Jon… Jon?"
Jon looked at Ed and with a confused expression asked, "Who are these two?" People started to flock to the room trying to peek a glance as to what was going on.
The two men exchanged glances and then looked at Ed and he said, "They are here for your security…" Jon looked at the two with scant looks and lowered his wand and the tension eased up in the room and Jon sighed and looked at the two and said, "Next time please do knock."
He took a deep breath and walked passed the crowd of people gathered around his room. Ed looked at the leaving figure and sighed deeply as to what was the new thing that troubled the boy now he wondered to himself.

Ed seated himself with Jon and gave him a robe to wear. Jon took it and wore it quickly and Ed chuckled slightly and said, "You making this into a habit now."
Jon looked at him "It's not like I wanted to… I wanted to get out of there, before that floating skull came in the room." From the corner of his eyes he could see that same floating skull watching him like a predator stalking his prey. He scoffed and whined "Ugh, worst idea ever."
Ed chuckled and said, "Well, too bad… since you know" both of them exchanged glances and a slight smile curled up Jon's lips and Ed asked, "So anything new you want to do when you're up on the stage this time?"
Jon looked a little taken back by Ed and asked, "You're not going to ask me about that thing?"
"Do you want me to?"
"I honestly don't even know what it was… I'm having a hard time with what happened. What I saw."
Ed leaned closer turned his head around and wispered "You saw something? Was it like a dream or something?"
Jon sighed and took a cup of tea in his hand and said, "I wish it was… I don't want to be what you fear."
"So it could be?"
"Could be."
Those two words lied heavily on both of them since it may come to be true and if it does. Who's to say what might happen.
——————————————————
The carriage finally reached its destination L.A. California, U.S.A. Everyone was prepared and ready for their time in the former colony. Out of all of them Ed and Jon might be the only ones who didn't have the highest spirits.
The two guards stood beside Jon and Ed, the doors of the carriage opened and they started to spill out of the carriage.
"Try to not do anything here." Ed looked at Jon and gave him a stern look.
"I can't promise it but I'll try." Ed sighed and said to the guard, "make sure that he's always accounted for?" The two nodded and then finally Ed and Jon walked out as well.
As soon as Jon's feet touched the American soil he saw a familiar figure standing a little away from the gaggle of people there to receive him.
He recognized her instantly she had grown her hair a little since the last time he saw her. She was wearing a white t-shirt and blue torn jeans over small brown jacket. Both of them locked eyes and there was a sense of familiarity yet so much had changed since they last met.
Ed saw where Jon was looking and and saw Lizz. He darted his eyes between the two and said, "Please don't."
Jon looked at Ed "What?" Ed shook his head and patted his back
Jon walked over to Lizz and the two guards followed behind him and Lizz said, "You seem to grown into 3 huh?"
Jon looked confused and looked behind him to find the two and sighed, "Yeah…"
Lizz chuckled and Jon asked, "Why are you here?"
Lizz with a baffled expression made her discomfort known, "Uh, it's your first time in the states. I wanted to welcome you… but since you don't want me to I'll just go."
Jon smiled and said, "So what do you have in mind…"
—————————————
Jon and Lizz were wandering about the prestigious halls of Los Angeles County Museums of Arts. Looking through the paintings and sculptures from different cultures and times.
"Quite the place you have chosen huh?" Jon was looking a paining of a women with clay pots.
"Oh… did you have something different in your mind?" Lizz said with a smirk
"Knowing you… yes a little bit." Jon replied with a smile of his own.
"I'm more than just my music you know."
"Hmm… fascinating." Jon said as he was ogling at a vase with intricate details of landscapes.
Lizz leaned closer and asked "How was your first time?"
Jon looked at her curiously and waiting for her to expand on her question at least he wanted her to. Lizz rolled her eyes "You know… being in different countries, experiencing different cultures and singing?"
Jon chuckled softly and said, "It was nice… particularly Brazil. I loved that place."
Lizz smiled but then looked at the two men asked, "What's the deal with them?"
"Security detail, Florian thought that it would be best for me to have them around me just in case." Jon then looked at Lizz and asked, "Speaking of which where is Steven? I don't see him around."
Lizz pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, well he kinda doesn't know that I'm here… so."
Jon chuckled and said, "He will not be happy."
"Yeah."
"How's your summer going?" Jon asked
"Eh, kinda boring… but it would be better now that you are here."
Jon chuckled and said, "Well, it's too bad I'm not here for long."
"Well, then I guess we'll just have to cram a whole summer's worth of fun then."
After their tour of the museum they went to a beach on the magical side of L.A. Jon wasn't all that hyped about going to the beach after what happened but he didn't show it to her.
Both of them went to Angle cove. The beach was filled with witches and wizards out to enjoy their spring break and funnily enough it would be the place where the show would be held tomorrow for the spring festival.
"So what do you have planned for the show? Any more of your new songs?" Lizz asked as she ate a squid looking creature on a skewer. She offered her skewer and Jon took a bite of it. It was warm and moist and a little chewy.
"I don't know… I might not do it this time around."
"Awe, why not… it's makes it special like a limited edition thing. That's why people come to the show."
"I thought they came to see me."
"They do… but still." She had another bite and asked, "How are your friends doing?"
Jon looked at her and shrugged his shoulders, "Fine I suppose."
"And those two…"
Jon looked at her and sighed, "Yeah, they are good I think."
"Yeah, that didn't sound convincing… did you guys fight or something?"
"Kinda the opposite… but let's just not go in that direction." Lizz sighed and nodded "I heard you are releasing some single?" Jon asked with a smile
"Yeah, I was a little inspired by you so… I hope you like it."
"I'm sure that I will."
After their stroll around the beach and eating things from the food stalls near them they both sat down near the water and just watched as the sun started to dive into the blue water and scattering it's red warmth into the sky above.
"You've changed." Lizz said nonchalantly
Jon looked at her and said, "Yeah, I mean I wasn't going to stay a 4 foot goblin for the rest of my life."
Lizz chuckled and said, "Not like that… I mean you changed more mentally I guess."
Jon looked at her "Before you were a little more open, I guess. But it could be because you were trying to be more welcoming to a stranger. Now it just feels a little different."
Jon didn't know what to say he had been accused of it so many times that now, it just feels like that just who he is, "You're right."
Lizz looked at her surprised she didn't expect him to come out and just admit it like that.
"But that's just who I am…"
Lizz smiled softly and asked, "Ready to go?"
Jon just shook his head in reply, he then looked at her and asked, "Want to do it with me?"
