No more cliffhanger time! Yaaaaayy!
Rated T because of language, minor themes, and some (comedic) violence.

"Big Brother, I'm going to get more Huskies. You stay here and watch the others." Alaska huffed. Massachusetts heard her get out of her chair and walk out of the room. They weren't real Huskies of course, just stuffed animals. When he was positive she was gone, he let out a laugh and said to himself, "I can't watch anything. Or see anything in general." He cringed at the sound of his own voice. He hated the way he sounded. Massachusetts sounded like him… and by him he meant England. It's not that he wanted to sound like that stupid asshole; it was just the universe being a total dick. Since Massachusetts was the colony that kinda kick-started the Revolution and the colony that was the most rebellious, the universe decided he should sound like England for the rest of eternity. His father told him he looked like England too. That's why his father named him Arthur. But nobody dared to call him that.
After years of not being able to see, Massachusetts had become an expert in listening. He could tell who was walking in the room just by the sound of their footsteps. He'd also become an expert in doing everything without help. He had memorized his home and never left so he could pretty much handle himself. When he heard Alaska renter the room, he asked her, "Did you find more guests for our…tea party?" Massachusetts hated tea. Obviously, there wasn't any real tea; it was all just pretend.
"No… But that's okay! We have plenty! By the way, would you like a crown? After all, you are the guest of honor." Alaska replied eagerly. Massachusetts imagined she was smiling. He'd give anything to see Alaska's smile.
"I'd love a crown." Alaska screeched in joy. After a few seconds of feet moving around the room, Massachusetts felt something on top of his head. It was crown, his crown. He barely managed to keep a smile on his face, for he greatly hated the idea of royalty and all the stupid crowns that all the stupid kings and queens wore.

"Why would we investigate his children?" England asked, slightly confused.
"Something about how they could be an international threat." France replied.
"I highy doubt children could be considered threats."
"I highly doubt that they are all the same age as that little girl." France had a point. Certainly the original thirteen colonies had to be older than what would be considered a child. Spain and Germany were still arguing about whether or not they should investigate the children or not. Germany thought they should and Spain thought the opposite.
"That is enough," shouted Germany, "we are going to investigate them vether you like it or not!"
"Why you-" Before Spain could finish, he was cut off by Germany.
"Now, who'd like too help vis the investigation?" Italy immediately raised his head and Japan slowly raised his hand. England heard Russia (who was sitting across from him) whisper to China, "Perhaps the little one could become one with Russia again, da?" China quickly shook his head in agreement and raised his hand along with Russia. England thought about how bad an idea it would be if he raised his hand but he didn't think about long enough and raised his hand. France scoffed and raised his hand too. Germany looked around to see if anyone else had raised there hand and then with a satisfied grin said, "Fine zen. Vee vill go to America's and investigate ASAP."
Then it finally hit England, What about the thirteen original colonies? They'd probably kill him or worse…

"Do you like the tea, Big Brother?" Alaska asked. Massachusetts stifled a groan. He hated tea and even if he wasn't actually drinking tea, he hated the thought of tea or drinking it.
"Yes. It's absolutely amazing." Massachusetts replied sarcastically. He didn't intend for it to sound sarcastic but his stupid accent made everything he said sound sarcastic. Thank God, Alaska couldn't recognize sarcasm yet.
"Good! The Huskies like it too…. Big Brother, can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Why do you sound different?" Massachusetts nearly spit out his pretend tea. He knew that one day this question would come but he hadn't expected it to come so early. All his younger brothers and sisters had asked him about his accent or, if they were smart if, they'd come to their own conclusions.
"What do you mean? Texas sounds different too." Poor Texas, Massachusetts thought, he'll always be my escape route.
"Yeah, I know but some of the others sound like him. Like Alabama and Mississippi. But nobody sounds like you."
"Well…. it's rather hard to explain. One day, when you're older, Daddy and I will explain it to you. How does that sound?"
"Oh. Okay!" Alaska sounded disappointed. Massachusetts wished he could see her face so he knew if she was upset or not. "Hey Alaska, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure!"
"What do I look like?" Massachusetts had never asked anybody that question, not even his father. His father had told him he looked like England but that was the extent of knowledge Massachusetts had on his appearance. He never had wanted to know what he and that stupid asshole looked like but he had make Alaska feel better somehow and this was the right way.
"Oh. Well, you have pretty light-blonde hair and bright green eyes. You have kinda pale skin but it still looks pretty. Um…." She seemed to be looking for more things to say.
"It's all-right if you can't think of anything else to say. Thank you for telling me." He felt her wrap her tiny arms around his waist. He bent down and hugged her back. Massachusetts had prayed in that very moment that a miracle would happen and he would get his eyesight back but no such luck. He'd never get to see himself hugging his little sister. Their moment was ruined by the doorbell ringing.
Massachusetts ended the hug by picking Alaska up and walking out of the room. He knew where he was going as long as had one hand on a wall. He had mastered traveling through the house by feeling the walls and the things around them or hanging on them.
"We're at the stairs." Alaska said.
"Okay." Massachusetts replied. The one thing he couldn't master was knowing where the stairs were. He quickly walked down them and towards the door. He reached out for the doorknob and instantly felt it. He'd done this a lot.
As Massachusetts opened the door, he said, "Hello. How can I help you today?"
"Why hello there." Replied his own voice.
