A/N: Dudes...I have, like...a concussion. So I wrote this! XD I got tackled by, like, an entire team of rugby girls and whcked my head or something - I can't remember anything - but I passed out and now I have a head injury. At least I can remember how much love I have for you allll~ *kiss* So, here's chapter two!

"Everyone, Everyone", Pennsylvania cried. She shouted louder, hoping to be heard over the roar of her siblings as they screamed and stomped and pointed erratically. She took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes before replacing them back on their perch on the bridge of her nose. She glanced over her shoulder and gave a hopeless look at the blond behind here, slumped in his chair, dull blue eyes watching an ant scurry across the floor, his lips pressed in a frown. His bottom lip trembled.

"America?" The young man looked up slowly. "Can you do something?"

America shrugged and got to his feet. He gently guided Pennsylvania out of the way and stood at the small podium in front of the few tables in the room. He scanned the small crowd, taking in the fear, the anger, and the whispers of rebellion warring both inside the small meeting room and in himself. And, watching all the chaos, all the tears, the yells, the absolute panic, he realized how much the kids needed.

That gave him the inspiration.

"People! People! Can you all stop your yapping? Pennsylvania is trying to sort all of this out for you, and you won't even quiet down for her!"

"But they're taking our charters!"

The rumors, being voiced aloud, made it real for him. And it hit his gut like a brick wall. He had never believed it. But…"who's 'they'?" The anger in their voices already told him.

"England."

America's heart clenched in horror and his jaw dropped. It didn't matter if he already knew this was happening. Hear it from the colonies made it…made it…too real. The ice melted from his veins, his anger boiling his blood. His fingers clenched the podium in front of him hard enough the crack the wood with his need to protect them all.

"A-America-" Pennsylvania started, placing a hand on his shoulder. She could feel him shaking.

He shrugged her off. "That bastard! First the taxes and now this", he shouted. A vein popped in his forehead. "England can't do this! We have a right to live here! I'm not his 'little brother' anymore, and he needs to remember that. Right now. I don't even want to be related to him!"

A girl with short, strawberry blonde hair and eyes bright enough to rival's America, stood up. The room had gone quiet, twelve pairs of eyes watching her.

"Rhode Island", America asked. "What is it?"

"Delaware handed her's to England."

His eyes narrowed and the colonies gasped. Several opened their mouths to speak, but hesitated when they spotted his face.

"Delaware gave England her charter?"

Rhode Island nodded. As soon as she sat down, the shouts erupted once more. America pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath.

"If we can't quiet down and talk this out, I'm going to cancel this meeting and you're all going home."

The colonies stood standing, their faces red and eyes narrowed, but they quieted.

"Has anyone seen Delaware?" He counted heads, frowning when he only totaled twelve kids.

"I saw her this morning. I don't know where she could-"

Pennsylvania's words were cut short by the slamming of the door and a short, light blonde girl rushed in.

"Sorry to be late. I found that I had-"

The tense silence was shattered by the shrieking of the colonies.

"Shut up", America roared. He turned cold blue eyes on the girl. "Delaware. The colonies are telling me England is taking their charters. Is that true?"

She nodded, shuffling her papers and pulling her shoulder-length hair into a short pony-tail.

America groaned. "They also say you gave him yours. Willingly. Is that also true?"

Delaware looked up. She brushed a strand of hair away from her dull green eyes. "Of course."

America jumped on the table to colonies were (supposed to be) sitting at before another round of arguments could break out. "Why would you do that?

"Because he asked."

"You know that those mean you have a right to exist, right? England has that know. England. The guy that keeps knocking you down. The guy that keeps controlling us. The guy that thinks of us as just another landmass!"

Delaware looked down and emitted a soft "Oh". America assumed the colonies with the pale faces and downcast eyes to be the ones that had already had their documents taken away. "If it helps, I heard England say something about Connecticut. I think he's next."

A boy in the back snapped his head up. The bright green eyes behind slim glasses were wide with fear. Massachusetts, the boy sitting next to him, laid a hand on his shoulder, his matching emerald orbs clouded with pity.

America began to pace the length of the table. "Okay, maybe we can work with this. We can't fight England for the charters, but we might-"

"What if we hid it?"

America blinked. "What?"

Connecticut stood, running a hand through strawberry blond hair, his brow furrowed. "It was only a suggestion, but, it we cannot fight England, why can't we trick him? If he cannot find the charter, he cannot take it. Nor could he claim that he even ever had it."

"That's a…that's a great idea."

Pennsylvania cleared her throat. "And where exactly would we hide it? Under a rock?"

"I bet I could hide it better than any of you", another boy shouted. He grinned, his ahoge bouncing as he laughed.

"New York, you would lead England straight to the charter", New Jersey sighed.

"I would not! Maybe we should hide it at your place. No one would dare go near there." New York pinched his nose and stuck his tongue out at his brother.

Connecticut shook his head. "No." He smirked. "In a tree."

A/N: More Head Canon:

Rhode Island was the first state to want to break off from England, so that's why she points this out first.

Delaware did NOT want to break off from Eng;and, hence why she handed her charter over first.

Massachusetts is very close to Connecticut.

New York has a giant ego. (Before Florida's ego, but after California's to be exact!)

Pennsylvania was the state that held all the colonies' meetings. That's why she's in charge.

Connecticut...because it's where the Charter Oak thing happened.

There are more state pictures!
