"Thank you all for coming today now as you all know New England has been in charge of all state conferences since 1981 being passed down from Virginia to all of the respective states of the Northeast. and as you know it is almost time for the yearly State Conference now do any of you have any suggestions for this year's conference?" as New Hampshire finished up her opening speech Vermont shot his hand up eagerly. the granite stater was disappointed to only see Vermont the others were busy chatting with each other or just simply sitting there with their head down.
Maine was situated in between Connecticut to his left and Massachusetts to his right. the Bostonian currently had his head plastered to the table trying to ignore the meeting Connecticut on the other hand was chatting with Maine and Rhode Island. New Hampshire gave up and pointed at the Vermonter.
"Yes Francis you have a suggestion and please no stupid suggestions.." Vermont excitedly bounced up to the podium next to the Granite Stater and slammed a fairly large black binder down on to the oak podium. gaining the attention of Maine, Rhode Island, New hampshire and Connecticut.
"Okay so every year we hold the conference in the United States so instead of holding it here in the States we hold it in Europe it could be like a vacation for all of us New Englanders after everyone else goes home!" a hush fell over the room as everyone stared in shock at the unusual suggestion except for Massachusetts who was still blocking out the world.
"That's actually not a bad idea you have my vote" Maine grumble out from his spot in between Massachusetts and Connecticut. it was true they could figure out a way to actually prolong their stay in Europe at the expenses of their bosses.
"Well your idea isn't horrible that actually sounds reasonable but my question is what country do we have the conference and don't forget we're going to have to set up some rules and schedules. I would hate to see what would happen if the nations found out that we exist." to that Vermont nervously adjusted his glasses and opened his binder quickly looking for the right documents.
"But you see I actually do have it planned out!"
"Yeah sure you do I bet it's even written in crayon..." Massachusetts raised his head up and glared at the blonde Vermonter.
"Andrew shut up and put your head down down!" Connecticut hissed at Massachusetts quickly shutting the Bostonian up.
"Um so as I was saying we head over early and go check out a few locations and after the conference is done we can have a bit of a family vacation. my recommendations are England, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Russia,Austria, and Switzerland." the room broke into chaos as Connecticut and Massachusetts begin to fight again. Connecticut was using her computer bag as a weapon against the Bostonian trying to strangle him with the strap. Maine being stuck in the middle quickly slid under the table and crawled to the other side to get away.
"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!" the two States ignored New Hampshire as they continue to fight seeing no other option she stompdown from her spot next to Vermont and grabbed Connecticut from the back of her dress jacket.
"Seeing that even having Maine in between you two doesn't work for now on you two are to sit on opposite sides of the room!" with one arm still gripping Connecticuts jacket New Hampshire quickly grabbed the leather office chair and kicked it to the other side of the room.
"For now on you are to sit separately until you learn how to act like your age!" New Hampshire yelled as she dragged a squirming Connecticut behind her over to her chair which was over towards the windows that's faced the main street of Concord.
"You are two hundred and twenty six years not some idiotic teenager and I will not have you disrupting my State House!" the granite stater pushed Connecticut into the chair sending both state and chair sliding even more towards the wall.
"Now lets get back to this meeting god knows we've wasted enough time..." New Hampshire walked back up to the podium and stood next to Vermont again. She quickly cleared her throat and gave Vermont a reassuring smile.
"Now then let's get back to the meeting. I want everyone's attention on Vermont and give him a chance this time without breaking into a fight." Vermont quietly pulled out the proper documents and handed them to New Hampshire while nervously glancing at Massachusetts who harshly glared back till Rhode Island stomped on his foot once he noticed Massachusetts glare. causing the Bostonian to hiss in pain to which everyone ignored.
"H-here's the right papers..." Vermont quietly waited as New Hampshire looked over the papers. everything was well planned out and he had already made arrangements for the conference in each nation's capital beforehand. all in all there really wasn't any problems besides trying to get 50 states and five territories to Europe. And plus the territories just happen to be small children between the ages of nine and twelve...Florida and Alabama can only do so much to keep them under control.
"The only problem I can really see happening is the whole transportation part and don't forget about the territories, any suggestions?" Maine quickly stood up looking to New Hampshire for the go ahead to which she simply nodded.
"So we give one responsible state the task to keep track of one territory but make sure they all travel together in a group so the territories can keep themselves entertained so that would be a group of ten. and then everyone else travels in groups of five to ten but we have to make sure that there is at least one responsible state in each group." Rhode Island was busy taking notes furiously writing them as fast as possible while Massachusetts was secretly playing candy crush under the table. Maine sat back down and ran a hand through his shoulder length dirty blonde hair.
"So what do you think good plan, non?"
"Yes that can work especially the idea for the territories. I was kind of afraid that we're going to have to leave them here but now we can bring them along. but who's going to be in charge of which territory and then they also have to plan out who's going in which group?" Maine rested his chin on his hand and closed his blue green eyes thoughtfully.
"Well Florida should be in charge of Puerto Rico, Alabama should be in charge of Guam, Pennsylvania could be in charge of the US Virgin Islands, Montana can be in charge of American Samoa and Utah can be in charge of the mariana islands."
"That seems adequate are we all at agreement?" the room was filled with replies of yup, oui, yes and a quiet fine from Connecticut who was still sitting on the other side of the room.
"Very well I think this is an appropriate time to stop for now we can pick this back up after lunch. and also please remember no running in the hallways I do not need any of the priceless paintings in the hallway damage. and also do not harass any of the state representatives they're here to work as is my governor do not bother her at all, I'm talking to you Andrew." Maine and Rhode Island quickly their stuff and speed walked out the door leaving to go to Dos Amigos burritos their guilty pleasure, and possibly the reason why they always vote to have meetings in New Hampshire more specifically Concord which is the capital.
After them Massachusetts headed out to find some decent restaurant for lunch grumbling how Manchester would have been a better choice they have more bars. Connecticut walked over to the main table and sat down in Massachusetts seat pulling out her laptop to finish up some paperwork she had for her boss.
"Vermont do you want to come with me and have lunch my office so we can discuss this more before everyone get back?" Vermont looked over at New Hampshire who was smiling back cheerfully. the Vermonter sighed in relief that new Hampshires meeting mode was gone.
"Sure that sounds nice let me just go get my laptop and messenger bag."
"Great you know my office is right just meet me there." she gave him a quick hug and quickly gathered up her stuff and left leaving Vermont and Connecticut alone in the meeting room but not without saying.
"Nice work Francis you did great today I'm so proud of you!" Vermont couldn't help the grin that spread across his face at his sisters words. And if you look carefully you would notice the grin on Connecticut face as well.
A/N: well it seems New Hampshire snapped she tends to be kind of Germany-ish sometimes...ah so cute little brother sister thing at the end! and all of the New England states all have varying shades of green eyes and blonde hair which they get from England who in all actuality is technically their father. Oh yeah and New Hampshire's birthday is coming up on June 21st so expect a chapter about New Hampshires birthday party!
