Wow. He's incredible. Has he always looked this gorgeous? His hair is so luxurious, it is practically begging to be touched. His eyes are-

Being shaken out of her daydream by Utah, Cali sits up and clears her throat.

"Sorry. What?"

Utah shakes his head and readjusts his black tie*.

"I was saying,"

Cali didn't hear the rest of his sentence. She had already gone back to dream land.

It was ten minutes before the meeting was supposed to start and all the states were chatting, arguing, fighting, or getting out of the war path of the fighters. Cali and Utah had started to talk a little, but when Cali spotted the state sitting across from her, she fell into a trance. He was the most handsome state she had ever seen.

Texas and New York had noticed the dreamy expression on Cali's face and instantly thought it was aimed at them. They began swooning in their seats with the actual target of Cali's affection sitting between them.

She licked her lips as her eyes glazed over and her mind entered a realm of true love and other girly crap.

The meeting went without a hitch. They discussed all the topics they needed to like the World War that's going on*, how to help our allies, and who our allies really are.

Only half the room needs repainting and the other half needs to be rebuilt completely. Not to shabby. (You put 50 teenagers with hundreds of years of grudges in a room together and see what happens)

Cali pushed past the crowd to get over to where Texas, New York, and the other state stood. Texas and New York both straightened up to address her as suave as they could.

She, on the other hand, shoved them out of the way. Accidentally using her super strength to send them hurtling to the floor. Not that she noticed. The other state smiled shyly at her and said

"Hello miss. It's nice to see you again."

OMG he's adorbs. Totes a hottie.

She giggles and says back in a flirtatious tone

"Oregon, I haven't seen you in so long bro. The last time must've been like, 1850 right?"

Oregon has flashbacks of a stunningly beautiful girl panning for gold along the riverbanks during the gold rush. He had always wondered who that angel-like girl had been.

Let's be real here, he fell in love at first sight that day. He fell hard and still hasn't gotten back up. Not that he wants to.

Apprehensively, Oregon nods as a pink blush dawns on his round face. Cali may not be good at reading the mood like her boss, but she is good at flirting. She says to him

"So how would you like to come visit San Fransisco sometime?"

Oregon is taken aback by how upfront she is. He grins as wide as possible as Cali hands him a little slip of paper with her number scrawled on it.

"Just give me a call when you have some free time"

Using her "Girlish charms" as Arkansas would put it, she has him hook, line, and sinker.

By now Texas and New York have recovered from their fall and is terrified by the scene taking place before their very eyes. It's been a good hundred years or so since Cali and Florida had broken up and neither of them had even gone out with her on a date. Now, this nobody state has snatched her up.

Oregon, you might want to watch out.

Texas and New York don't take lightly to newcomers.
