Hey, I think I got a couple more states involved... Do you want me to do State profiles? Cause I can do State profiles.
Chapter 4: Briefcases and Shock
DC opened her briefcase and froze. Instead of her usual orderly papers she was met with the sight of at least ten hamburgers and shakes. There were no papers, save for a small sticky note with the words 'good luck dad!' and a smiley face. Damn, America must have grabbed the wrong briefcase in his rush to get to the world meeting.
"…Florida?"
"Aye? Que es?" Florida strolled in, his long-ish hair tied back. "Don't tell me, another Cuban Missile Crisis?"
DC looked strangely at her brother, "No, where'd you get that from? And besides, isn't Cuba your friend?"
"Nah, we're just drinking buddies… So whatcha want?"
"I need you to take another state or two and go get my briefcase back from Dad."
"…Like who?"
"I don't care. How about Texas and Delaware?"
"…Doesn't matter to me. Might as well invite South Carolina along and make it a party. Hasn't he wanted to get away from North?"
DC smiled. One of the downsides of having a twin… "Okay, but I need the briefcase back within the week. The next state meeting is due in two months and I need to get ready."
"Si, si…" Florida walked off lazily, trying to enjoy what little of the sun he saw here.
DC sighed and began calling up her brothers.
"Hey DC! What're y'all lookin' for?"
"I need you to accompany Florida to England to retrieve my briefcase."
"Sure thing, sis! Anyone else goin'?"
"…Yeah, Del and SC are going, too."
"…Why so many? And why's Del comin'?"
"One: I can't trust any one of you to execute this mission with any sort of success and by having you all together; I hope that between the four of you can figure something out. Two: Del's going because I said so. Now get packing!"
"…Bye to you, too…"
"Del?"
"Wh't d' y' w'nt?" (What do you want)
"I need you to accompany Tex, SC, and Florida on their mission to bring back my suitcase."
"Wh'?" (Why)
"Never mind that. If you don't, none of those morons will make it back alive."
"S'? Wh' d' I c're?" (So, why do I care)
"You'll be able to see Sweden again. And Finland."
"…F'n'…" (Fine)
"Hello South Carolina."
"Hey, DC. What can I do for you on this lovely day?"
"Would you like to take a vacation from North?"
"Hell yeah! When does it start?"
"Pack and meet me at JFK Airport tomorrow at 8am."
"Sure thing Miss!"
Back at the World meeting
"LOUISIANA! YOU DON'T JUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUT OF THE BLUE!" Virginia wailed, her face turning a bright red. "GOD, THIS IS SO EMBARASSING!"
Alaska shrugged, "Might as well get it over with, da? Hello Mother Russia." She waved at Russia who was looking scared for the first time in a long while.
"You could have broken it to them a little more gently, aru," California frowned, looking over the stupefied nations.
"A LITTLE MORE GENTLY?! SHE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE PLASTERED IT ON A BILLBOARD!"
The two states began fighting in a way that reminded everyone of England and France's constant bickering.
"Err, Ginny?" America finally spoke up. When his daughters continued to ignore him, he resorted to drastic measures. "GINNY! LOUISIANA! BE QUIET OR I'LL CUT YOUR STATE FUNDING BY HALF!"
"EH?!" Virginia and Louisiana stopped immediately.
"Calm down, aru! You are acting very immature, aru," California remarked. "Besides, we have other business to attend to." She strolled over to where China was and bowed slightly. "It is a pleasure to finally see you, aru. It has been quite a while, no?"
"…" China stared at the girl. She looked like someone put Spain and China together and gender flipped them. But that was ridiculous, wasn't it? "Is nice to meet you also. Tell me, who are your parents, aru?"
"That's a hard question… In actuality? Spain and China are my parents. But America adopted me and I think of him as being my actual parent." California shrugged and went back to playing Angry Birds on her iPhone.
"ARU?! I had a kid? With Spain?!" China looked about ready to faint. Russia moved over to where the nation sat, ready to provide support.
Alaska had moved to join her sister California when she saw Russia.
"привет Mother Russia. How are you?" Alaska smiled. She held out a sunflower to the nation. "America told me how much you enjoy sunflowers. This was grown in my greenhouse~"
Russia took it mechanically, still a bit in shock.
In fact, all of the countries were a bit in shock.
Virginia was sitting near America, glaring daggers at poor England.
Louisiana was trying to have a conversation with France and fend off his wandering hands at the same time.
California was completely ignoring everyone in favor of her game.
Alaska was sitting with Russia and having a one-sided discussion about the merits of sunflowers.
And America?
America was praying hopefully for the meeting to end so he could get out of this hell.
On the other side of London, four boys were getting off the plane, unaware of the chaos that was about to unfold.
