-Authors Note; Alright, so, this is my first FF posted on here at the moment, so I hope you like it~ And, just to help you out a bit, you'll probably be a little confused in the beginning, but not to worry; hopefully you'll be able to understand at least by the middle of the first chapter. ^^
-Warnings; State OC's – mild language
-Oh, and heads up;
Avery/AV = Arizona
Virginia/'Ginny = Virginia
Andrew/'Drew/Mary = Maryland
Antonio/Nile/'Tonio = New Mexico
Peyton/D.C = Washington, D.C
-Minor Characters/Character Mentions;
Elijah/Eli = Delaware
-Yeah, human names for states. D: Sorry. Every time I read a Hetalia State FF with more than two states who have human names, I get all confused. '^^ Maybe it's just me, but if you do get confused a bit, I apologize in advance! I think that's all the state names in this chapter, though. Meh, not to worry too much, Virginia and America – Arizona once or twice – are the two who would most likely use the states human names/nick names anyways, so it shouldn't be too confusing.
-This is in Virginia's point of view.
-Before anyone goes crazy on me, I'd like to apologize in advance if my state OC's somehow offend you. I haven't been to all the states in the U.S [haven't been to NM or AZ at all and I have them in this FF, though mainly for my friend. :33] and I haven't really based their personalities off of stereotypes. At least, I don't think I did. I just made them as OC's with personality traits I liked for them, and I haven't really based their looks off of any kind of stereotypes either, I don't think. Oh, yeah, I should probably add the state descriptions to this author's note. . .Nah, it's already too long as is. I doubt you're even reading this. But if you are, I'll add physical descriptions in the author's note for the second chapter, since I doubt I'll be describing them in detail in the actual FF.
-Anyways, now to the FF~
Chapter One
"'Drew!" I called. My hand was violently hitting the freshly painted white wood door over and over again, mercilessly. "C'mon, you've been ignorin' our calls ever since we asked you and now you won't even answer the door?" I called again, louder. Man, I feel bad for his neighbors. Actually, I feel bad for him to have to deal with m - wait; no I don't, because this bastard is ignoring me again. I groaned in annoyance, my eyebrows knitting together. I began knocking a little faster before I became fed up and began pounding on the door with my whole entire right arm. "Andyandyandyandyandyandyandy!" I yelled forcefully before – finally – he must have been fed up with all the noise I made. As he wrenched the door open, I stumbled forward a bit, caught off guard, before catching myself. Looking up, I grinned broadly, though I was inwardly sweating a little at the furious look on Maryland's face.
"What the hell do you want?" he snapped, making me cringe a bit. I backed up several centimeters in case he decided to slam the door on me; I don't want my nose broken, for God's sake. Closing his eyes, Maryland let out a breath, pushing his glasses up over his dark evergreen eyes and looked down at me. "I'm sorry," sounded his forced apology. We stood there for a few seconds in an awkward silence before Arizona came to my rescue. I almost forgot they were behind me.
"Okay, look," she started, stepping up to stand next to me. Turning my head to look at her, I then realized how short she actually was. She was taller than me, of course; most of the other states are, but she was still short compared to the almost six foot tall Maryland. I moved my left arm away, as not to brush against her neat, thick, long dark brown hair that fell to her waist, though she wouldn't mind, I knew. "Come on, Maryland," she continued after a moment. "Please help us?" she asked. I blinked in surprise. Arizona never politely asked someone to do something for her. Maryland raised an eyebrow. "You're the only one who knows how to hack and all of that shit." she said again, a little more brightly.
"I've already told you a thousand times; no." he said. This time, his voice seemed a little sorrowful and guilty. "I will not break the law just so you three can have a joy ride on an airplane to France for the meeting. Besides, what if you're caught, then what?" he grumbled, folding his arms over his chest. "And all three of you know that Delaware is the most experienced in hacking into computers, little bastard. He rubs it in my face whenever we talk. I'm sure he'd agree; he likes you a lot, Virginia." I pursed my lips and shrugged, Arizona smirking.
"We were going to until we remembered how much he hates the states that weren't in the former Thirteen. He especially hates Nile and I," she scoffed. "Even if we had 'Ginny with us, he'd definitely turn us down. And he's a real downer, too. I was the one who suggested not asking him." Arizona pushed up her glasses and glanced down at me, then back up at Maryland, raising an eyebrow. "Pfft, we won't get caught! I'm the master of disguise!" When I snorted at that, she rolled her eyes playfully. "Either way, we prefer you!" she piped up. "No matter how much of a stick-in-the-mud you are, you're much better to be around than that douche." The hair on the back of my neck rose defensively. My gaze hit the ground at my feet and I stiffened, attempting to control myself so I wouldn't blow up at Arizona again about insulting Delaware. Yeah, sure, he was a little secretive and, I'll admit he's a bit of a downer like she said, but he was still a close friend. Shaking my head, I cleared my thoughts when Maryland sighed. He opened his mouth to say something – probably a big fat no – but I jumped in front of Arizona before he could say anything and stared up at him, widening my brown eyes.
"Please 'Drew? I'd really appreciate it." I whispered helplessly, and the latter sighed again, obviously defeated.
"F-fine, I'll do it." he muttered. "Come in; I'll go ahead and start. America's leaving tonight and the meeting's tomorrow, and, depending on the flight times and locations, I can get you on a plane tonight – a different plane than America's, of course, or else you'd be found out immediately." he explained, making his way to a nice, pure white couch. Sitting down in the middle cushion, he moved the laptop from the expensive looking glass table to his lap. Just as New Mexico and I sat on either side of him and Arizona made her way to a matching chair, he opened it and typed away furiously. "It's your turn to watch Peyton this week, you know." My eyes widened and I slammed my hand to my forehead.
"Oh, no, I'm sorry 'Drew!" I apologized quickly. "I'd hate to ask this of you, but could you watch him for a little while? At least until I get back from France?" I begged, clasping my hands together.
"Can't," he replied, shrugging. "I've got a trip planned this week." he muttered, not taking his eyes away from the computer screen. I paled at this. I couldn't handle bringing Washington, D.C to France with me alone. He's too much of a hassle, a lot like when America was a kid. Groaning, I bared my teeth.
"Okay, I guess I'll take him with me." I sighed. Arizona stared at me like I was crazy. What else could I do, really? None of the other states knew him well enough to watch the kid, and he doesn't like anyone besides Maryland and I. Of course, he likes me more, but that's beside the point!
"Do you know how much that kid hates Nile and I?" she hissed. "We'd go crazy!"
"Done; I got us five tickets on a one-way flight to Paris, France. I got the airport closest to the building the meeting is located in since our flight should land at 12:30, thirty minutes before the meeting starts. If we're lucky enough, it won't be late and we'll be in time for the meeting to start." he explained quickly. "I'll go ahead and wake Peyton up; he fell asleep a little earlier since he stayed up all last night listening to music." he muttered. "It was extremely impolite, I could barely sleep; he must have learned it from you, Virginia." Arizona muttered something I caught about murdering the 'annoying brat' and I gave a glare to her before glancing back at Maryland, puzzled. "Yes, I'm coming with you; mainly to keep all three of you and Peyton out of trouble. And you need me to check into a hotel for free depending on how long the meeting lasts." Just like that, Maryland abruptly stood. "I should hope all of you are already packed; the flight is leaving in an hour." I grinned again.
"Thanks 'Drew!"
-Author's Note; This was shorter than I hoped it would be. Eh, oh well. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer - at least twice as long as this. If I don't get lazy, that is. I'll update as soon as I can, which will probably be either tomorrow or the next day depending on how much imagination I have. At least I know where this FF is going, unlike my others that I pretty much gave up on and are just sitting in my folders on the computer. ^^'
-Edit #1; So, after rereading this, I've realized that I made Maryland's nick name Andy, and later on it became 'Drew. Well, you see, every time I typed 'Andy,' it reminded me of Toy Story. . I must've changed it, promised myself I'd go back to fix it before publishing, and never did. Heh. I'll get right on that.
-Edit #1/2; New Mexico didn't say a word in this chapter, did he? Sorry! I meant for him to have a line, but I deleted it. Besides, my NM OC isn't much of a talker, but I'll get him to have some more lines in the next chapter!
-Edit #2; Okay, I fixed all the 'Andy's' into ''Drew's,' though I left the 'Andyandyandyandyandyandyandy' part because say Andy over over again rolls off the tongue better than say Drew over and over again. (Yes, I actually experimented x3). Geez, three edit's. x33 So much for having a perfect first chapter. xC ANYWHO, again, I'll be updating soon, so stick around~
