Next to pool/Governor Willy's mansion. 

 Alexander and I went to sit on a sunbed while be dried. Emily came rushing down. I was wet foot to toe and my face had two little black rivers running down it.  Fortunate I had not been spotted by Captain Nass. Alexander had ruined his suit to save me and his mother was telling him off for that. 

"She looks like a train wreck," said Evian while I dried myself.

"Train wrecks always make the front page," Alexander said.

The governor himself had being lifted out of the pool in a giant mobile fish tank. Governor had then been put next to a row world of seats in front of the podium. Governor Willy's spokesman walked along to the podium and listened to  Governor Willy then relayed his 'translation' to the vice governor to the audience. Did anyone not notice that  Mr Bush's was the 

Jim Henson to Willy portrayal of  Kermit or did non one care? Bush/Willy introduced the speach delivered by the vice governor. 

 The figure of the vice governor went up to the lectin and began to speak from his notes. The party died down and people grouped around both the stage holding the governor and his vice governor to politely listen to what they had to say. 

While we waited for the self driving car turn up at the gate we listened to fragments of Vice governor Willy's speech being relayed over a number of screens.

"These are hard times. I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family..." the vice governor started, we could hear him from the TV set up near the entrance.

"..People are worried about the possessed but they complain about the fine folk of homeland defence. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this emergency sector. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it..." said the vice governor on the TV he continued ".. Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness"

Under the towel, I was cold and shivering.

Alexander looked at his watch "limousine will be here in a couple of minutes."

I looked around still no sign of anything at all mazed like.

"....It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet. Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream. They misunderestimated me.... " the vice governor said as the approached.

We left the politicians to their speeches. Alexander agreed to take me home. I was so disappointed not having found anything like a maze in the governor's mansion.

"Alexander," I said as we got close to my house I had to give him the truth it was best for both of us "I want to thank you for lovely day. But I really can't see you again. It's not you, your a nice guy. I just can't do this. I'm sorry. I'll send the dress and stuff back."

"Keep it," said Alexander looking oddly upset and confused "it's not my size."

I got out of the car near my house and walked back home dejected.
