THANKS TO hetawholockvengerstuck for the info on Washington!


Michigan and Louisiana guided the countries to the dinning room for breakfast that morning. America hadn't wanted them to be overwhelmed by the states when they first arrived, but now they had had time to settle in.

Louisiana's phone gave off a loud jazz tone on thier way there

"One minute, I think it's California, she's been texting me all night and so far I've ignored her."

"Ooooh, bad idea man."

"Hey Cali…I didn't know…No! Don't cry. It'll work out…Of course I'll help…Now?" Loud sobbing could now be heard from the phone. "Sure, now is fine…I'll be up in a minute…Okay, bye." Louisiana looked apologetically at Michigan.

"Sorry Maia, but California's boyfriend was apparently indifferent to me."

"It's cool, go calm her before she wakes the entire house up with her crying." Louisiana flashed Michigan a bright smile.

"Thanks sis, I'll see you soon. Don't forget about Family Night!"

The countries watched as Lewis tore passed them on his way to see California. They wondered what Family Night consisted of, because it certainly wouldn't be like an average Family Night. America is not average.

"So, like, what happened with California?" Poland asked curiously

"Ah, she's just having boyfriend issues, nothing to worry about."

"I wasn't going to worry about it anyway," Romano muttered, he personally didn't care. The only reason he came was because he wanted to keep the potato bastard away from his brother, and because he wouldn't have to do any work.

"So what are we going to do today?" Italy asked excitedly, unlike his brother he really was interested in the states. "I wonder if any of the states are Italian, then I would have something to finally talk about with the other countries! I'm starting to feel a little left out."

"We're going to have breakfast."

"Obviously, we want to know what we're doing after that," England grumbled. He hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. All through the night his fairies had been asking him about the states and whether his kids liked him or not. As happy as England was to say that so far the states liked him, he really wanted some sleep.

"We're probably going to see the rest of the house and grounds," Michigan replied, ignoring his snippy mood.

"So I'm assuming we are going to the dinning room?" Japan asked politely. He was really curious about the layout of the home. He remembered America telling him that he was into architecture, so he was sure the place would be extraordinary.

"Yeah, we're going to go to the dinning room, it's just around the turn up here."

"Will we meet any of the state there?" Spain asked eagerly. He was aslo looking forward to meeting one of his colonies. They'd met some English states, some French states, and even a freaking Norwegian state! Spain wanted to met one of his own.

"Perhaps it will be Alaska," Russia mused.

"Yeah, it probably won't be Alaska, sorry bro." Michigan told the large country. Russia nodded.

"Oh, yes, I forgot. Alaska is 'surfing'."

"You sound like you don't believe me!" Michigan said. "Do the rest of you not think Alaska is surfing?" The other countries nodded.

"Hmpf," Michigan pouted.

"You still haven't answered the question," Germany pointed out. Germany was also interested in whether he had any...children. He knew he never had an American colony, but with it just being influence you never know. Although, Germany also had no idea what he would do if he met a German states either, he imagined it would be very awkward.

"You'll see some states, but here's the thing there are only fifteen to twenty-five states in the house right now, and dad put out the word to let us approach them. So we have to track down all of 'em, I guess, dad doesn't want us to get mobbed or something." Michigan explained.

"Huh, that's rather smart of him," England thought to himself. "America doesn't usually think ahead like that."

"Awesome! This will be like one huge scavenger hunt!" Prussia exclaimed. Prussia was having a blast, and if it turns out he has a kid, well, the more the merrier!

"Oui, now where is this dinning room?" France questioned. France was in a good mood too, he had some kids. His kids are really cool, and they like him. Things couldn't get better.

"This way!" Michigan lead the countries toward the foyer, but then veerred off to the left and went through a big door. The dining room could have passed for a banquet hall, it was huge. There were two long tables down the middle of the room and then several circular table around the room. At the back of the room was an enormous buffet.

The room was almost empty, there was one lone state sitting at one of the circular tables. Michigan loaded her plate up with food and then sat with the said state, the countries followed suit. They were slightly surpried to see a very Asian looking teenager sitting there, none of them could remember any Asian colonies.

"Are you Hawaii?" Japan asked nervously. The teen laughed.

"Me? That's ridiculous! Hawaii is a girl." 'I'm pretty sure she's also in the air ducts above us, right now,' he thought to himself. He glanced at Michigan, and then jerked his head up toward the ceiling. Michigan gave a wide grin and a slight nod.

"Then, like, who are you?" Poland asked confused. There weren't any other states for Asia to influence, were there?

"This is George Washington," Michigan answered.

"Isn't he dead?"

"And, like, not Asain?"

"I'm joking. This is Washington though, and his name is George."

"Americans are weird," France sighed. Naming a state after a President he could understand, but taking the first name of the President is just bound to cause confusions, why would you do that?

"What's that suppose to mean?" Washington asked

"Oh nothing, I'm France by the way." Washington looked France up and down.

"Yeah, I can see that." France was flabbergasted, 'What did he mean by that?' He wondered. 'Wait, he was probably just noticing my acute fashion sense.' The rest of the countries introduced themselves as they sat down and pretty soon a regular breakfast conversation had started.

"But cats are so fuzzy and cute!" Italy protested.

"Ja, but dogs are much more useful. They can sniff out bombs," Germany argued.

"Cats make people feel better, dogs just scare people," France pointed out

"Well, at least dogs aren't lazy freeloaders," England shot back. Michigan and Washington exchange a it's-time-to-change-the-subject look. Living with fifty other people gave them a great reason to perfect the look.

"So which states have you met?" Washington asked curiously.

"Sieben(seven)," Prussia answered quickly before turning his attention back to the argument.

"I don't think there's a state named sieben," Washington muttered. Russia sighed, he also wanted to see the outcome of the argument.

"We met Michigan, Louisiana, North and South Dakota, West Virginia, Virginia, and Nevada." 'Maybe if I get on his good side I'll have a better chance at find Alaska.'

Spain turned away from the argument when he heard Russia speak. "So, who's your other parent?"

"Japan," Washington answered simply.

"Wait, are you totally serious?" Poland asked aghast. 'Why didn't they ask him earlier who is CoGI was?'

"Yeah."

"It is even nicer to meet you then, I hope we'll get a chance to get to know each other," Japan told George in a slightly awkward manner. 'He's going to think I'm some old loser. Oh well, I just have to be myself. We're bound to have something in common.'

"Do you like video games?" Japan asked, then he mentally face-palmed, of course he likes video games.

"Yeah! I was at the lab a couple days ago, and it was so crazy. I figured out an awesome new game for Microsoft tech only. Plus there's the new X-box in testing."

"You develop video games?"

"Yeah! None of them are as good as yours though. I'm a big fan of your games so I decided to get a move on it myself. I practically invented Microsoft." Michigan coughed.

"You keep telling yourself that."

"I will, and I'll tell other people too!"

"So, George, how did you invent Microsoft?" England asked. The argument was long forgotten.

"That's an easy question."

"Here it comes," Michigan murmured.

"Because I'm America's smart side."

"He's the egotistical side too," Michigan added.

"From what I've seen all of the states are pretty egotistical," England retorted." Really, you're practically miniature versions of America, Prussia, and Denmark."

Prussia puffed up his chest with pride. "America has raised them well."

"Be careful Angleterre, you don't want to anger them," France warned, Russia looked at France curiously.

"They aren't wild animals." If Russia didn't know better he'd say France had never met a teenager before.

"You never know, prepare for the unexpected." It was probably because of all the strikes they had in France, but he never assumed anything.

"That's absurd, the states are just like us. Stop being an idiot," Germany told France off.

The rest of the breakfast went by rather quickly. The countries joked around and shared stories. England had just finished telling a story about when America was a colony, when he decided to stick in a jab at Prussia.

"Thankfully, I was the one to raise America, otherwise when Prussia and the others arrived he would have been way worse now."

"Are you saying I'm a bad influence?"

"Pretty much, yes."

"You know I raised that one, right?" Prussia asked, pointing at Germany. "And he's more mature and responsible than America."

Michigan and Washington leaned toward each other,

"That was a really good point," Michigan whispered.

"Yeah, I know, I'm kind of confused though. How does that even work? You'd think America would be more responsible," Washington whispered back.

"Yeah, maybe it's based on the people. It could be the whole freedom thing."

The rest of the countries just leaned back and watched the show start. They were used to things like this happening, the World Meetings tended to get off track quickly.

"That may be, but look who's the world power," England shot back. Germany decided he should intervene, they did not need to have a fight in America's dinning room.

"We all know that who raised you doesn't determine how you turn out. There were lots of things Prussia didn't teach me, that I had to figure out. There were many awkward situations," Germany told the two countries, thinking back on his childhood.

"Like women!" Prussia yelled before letting out a loud laugh. Germany sighed.

"Mein Gott, Bruder don't tell that story!" Unfortunately everyone else wanted to hear the story so Germany was out of luck. Most of the countries just wanted to hear about a young and awkward Germany, because he's so serious and stoic now.

"Okay, so it was after I had won a big battle and I was at the pub. We were all drinking, joking, and flirting with the ladies. In comes Ludwig, he's all gangly and weird, but he came to join the celebration. One of my men told him to grab a beer and get with a woman. Poor little Ludwig only understood half of that sentence. He got a beer alright he drank a couple actually, but he didn't do the second half. We pointed out a real conservative looking girl and told Ludwig to tell her that, 'she would look great under him.' She kicked him so hard that Ludwig didn't walk for two days!"

"Oh man," Washington said, still laughing. "So you never got the sex talk?"

"Nein." 'Gott, I'm never going to live this down.'

"Lucky! The sex talk with dad is the awkwardest thing ever," Michigan complained.

"Seriously, dad stared at me for ten minutes before talking. He said, 'George, you've grown a lot I'm sure you know what sex is, but now you'll want to start to do it. You shouldn't have sex though, you don't have to worry about getting anyone pregnant because you're a state, but it's not something you should do. A lot. It's fun, but don't do it because you might be labeled a man-whore if you do it a lot.' Then he went into more detail, and talked about contracpetives, and then I died. It was, by far, the worst conversation I ever had with him." Washington agreed.

"He gave you the whole talk?"

"Yeah, why?"

"When it happened with me he got halfway though it, yelled 'GAHHH', called Virginia, and had her come in and give me the talk while he observed to make sure everything addressed!" Washington cracked up.

"That's a classic, when you get your talk?'

"Uh, 1860? It was just before the war and he kept saying the the meant to do it earlier. When did you get yours?"

"1946, I guess he got more used to talking about it."

"I guess so." The rest of the countries looked awkwardly around. They may have done it a lot but they don't really talk about it, so they could imagine how bad it would be for America. Although, the thought of him awkwardly trying to tell his kids not to have sex brought a smile to their faces. America acts confident all the time, even when he messes up, so image of him nervous and stumbling over his words amuses the countries greatly.

"Well, I told Nevada, Ari, and Mex that I'd go check out some of their weaponry today," Washington announced as he moved to get up from the table. The countries were disappointed that he was leaving so soon, George was the first state they ever really got to sit down and chat with. Japan especially looked put out, but Washington slipped a piece of paper into his hand.

735-466-7865

'We should catch up sometime'

"Watch out," Michigan warned.

"What does that mean?"

"Really? America's smartest kid can't figure that out?"

"Oh shut up, I am smart. Just wait till family night, I'll blow you away."

"Sure you will."

'Family night again, now we're curious'

Washington left after that, obviously. Then, of course, the countries left because there isn't much point to sitting around in an empty dinning room if you're done eating. They all congregated in the foyer.

"Okay, I need to complete the house tour, so we will now be entering the great outdoors," Michigan annouced.

"Does America have a lot of land?" Japan inquired.

"Yeah, we could spend all day out here."

"Seriously?" Poland asked at the same time Italy asked, "Where are we going first?"

"Yup, I think we'll start with the stables."

Michigan lead the countries through the back door and onto a well-worn path. They went a few hundred feet behind the house until they reached the stables. The stable was a huge barn with several other trails leading away from it, and a circular pen branching out from one side of it.

The group marched in expecting a quick tour and then to be herded to one other spot and then back to the house. That's not what happened. First off they scared the crap outta someone when they stormed in, then their tour guide decided to get tackled by someone, again.

"Maia? I haven't see you out here in forever!"

"Hey Ten, I haven't really had a reason to be out here. I don't have a horse."

"What about Mastodon?"

"She disappeared, remember? And she's not a horse."

"Oh yeah, sorry. I keep forgetting you're one of the only people to lose your animal. Plus, she slept out here after Owen kept complaining about her slipping into his room at night and biting him so you were out here a lot."

"Good point, I guess. Now, let me introduce you. World powers this is Hailey Jones, the state of Tennessee. Hailey, these are the world powers."

"Oh woah! This is awesome, Ken is going to be soooo jealous," Tennesse chirped. The countries nodded numbly, this was the warmest reception they'd gotten so far. It help that Tennessee was also really pretty, all the states were really good looking, but with her dark hair, light skin, and green eyes she was gorgeous. She was dressed like a cowgirl with boots, jeans, a vest over a t-shirt, a cowboy hat, and, of course, a gun on her right hip.

"Aren't you cold?" Spain asked in concern. Tennessee waved him off, then gave a brilliant smile.

"Naw, I'll be fine, thanks for askin' though. Hey, wait a minute, you're Spain aren't you?" Spain blinked in surprise, and nodded.

"Si, how'd you know?"

"You're my Ma, or technically, second Pa!" Tennesse exclaimed. She grinned at Spain who grinned back.

"Whopee!" Spain shouted before twirling Hailey around. France rolled his eyes.

"And people say I'm dramatic," he muttered to Russia. Then, realizing who he just spoke to, he shut up. Russia ignored him, he would be happy too if Alaska was that excited to see him. He's not going to blame Spain for being happy about having a kid.

"You're so adorable!" Spain gushed when he set her down. "Just as cute as Romano was! Do you love horses? Because I love them, we could go riding togeather sometime! Then, maybe, in the spring we can plant tomatoes. I hope you like tomatoes, I love tomatoes! What about you?" Spain asked in a rush.

"Horses are my favorite animal! In fact, I'm in charge of the stables, so going riding would be a total blast. Planting also sounds great! I don't really eat many tomatoes, but they're okay," Tennessee answered just as quickly. Then she turned to Michigan. "Can I give them the outdoors tour?" Hailey blurted out.

"Sure, you spend more time out here than me anyways."

"Great! Just let me feed the rest of the horses."

They watched as Hailey ran around taking care of the horses and then she quickly wrote a note and pinned it to the door. She bounded over to them after that and pushed them out the door.

"Well, this will be, like, a fun tour," Poland decided.

On the way to their next destination Tennessee chatted with all the countries. The countries felt their hearts lift, if most of the states are like George and Hailey then this should be a nice visit. They had all been slightly worried about the reactions of the states, it was a relief to know that most of their worry was for nothing.

"Oh, one time Ken got in an argument with Wy over bull ridding, so to settle it they both mounted a bull and whoever was thrown first lost. Ken had never been on a bull in his life at that point, so it's safe to say that he was on the other side of the country in a second," Tennessee told them.

"Why didn't he just pick something he was good at?" Prussia asked.

"'Cause the argument was about who could stay on a bull longer," Ten explained.

"He really should have thought out that plan more," Japan commented.

"I swear sometimes he has horse patties for a brain!" Tennessee joked and Michigan laughed.

"Horse patties? Sometimes, he doesn't even have that!"

"Just wait 'til ya'll met Ken, he'll crack you up," Hailey informed them.

"Literally, he's driven people insane," Michigan joked.

"That's more Ohio," Ten pointed out.

"Yeah, you're right, Owen is an asshole."

"I'm glad I won't be there when you introduce them to Ohio."

"Oh great, another bloody rivalry," England murmured.

"Really? You haven't figured out that she detests him yet?" Russia mocked.

"Dayum Russia," the states said in unison.

"Hashtag, getting real tired of your shit England," Germany muttered. Cue everyone's jaws dropping.

"Oh my God, I can't believe you totally just said that! Like, I didn't know you even knew what a hashtag, like, was!" Poland gushed. Prussia slapped him on the back.

"Mein klein Bruder ist joining the modern world!" the Prussia cheered, wiping fake tears away. France joined him. Then Italy tackled Germany with a hug.

"Yay! Germany you did something good, congratulations!" Even Russia gave Germany a small smile, although it was more for taking his side than for the epic burn.

"Holy shit! Micky what do we do?" Tennessee whispered, unsure whether what just happened was a good or bad thing.

"Chill, it's probably just the side-affects of adjusting to being around teens for a solid two days," Michigan assured her.

"But Russia was weird too!"

"I know, but it's not like we can do anything about it!"

The states continued their whisper argument while England and Romano just stood there completely slack-jawed. Then Romano scowled, muttered something about potato bastards, and turned around. As for Japan, he video taped the entire thing and was then rewatching it with Spain.

Eventually everyone calmed down and the tour continued.

xXxHETALIAxXx

"This is the pool," Tennessee announced. They were back behind the house and the pool was huge. There were three levels, the highest away from the house, and the third disappeared under a wall, and into the house. It was kind of like a waterfall.

"Do you use it in the winter?" Italy asked curiously because it wasn't covered.

"It's heated, and half of it's inside. There's another one on the roof. Now, let's go to the observatory."

"That was quick," a Germany commented. France snickered.

"That's what she said!"

Germany glared at France and shook his head.

"That is disgusting." France pouted, he had hoped that Germany might be more laid back now. England snickered at France's disappointed face. Everyone else ignored them as they were lead into the forest. They were pretty far away when they came to a tree with steps and were ordered to climb it. At the top they found a high-tech tree house.

"From here you can see all the land. You can see tons of animals at night, you can see the riding path over there, that big empty field is where snowmobiling, snowball fights, soccer, and football takes place. There's a lake to the west where we fish, swim, ice skate, and play hockey. There's also a hockey rink in town. To the east is the basketball hoops and volleyball nets. There are gardens in the front and backyards. We also have nine golf holes! The rest of the land is just woods, a lot of states have secret hideouts there."

"How much land does this house have anyway?" Prussia demanded to know.

"'Bout 30 square miles?" Tennessee and Michigan replied in unison. 'Damn', was the countries' only thought. Sure, there are people who own more land than that, but it's not like this was a farm or something. A least there were fifty states that would be using all the land.

The group walked leisurely back to the house. They conveniently made it back just as lunch was starting and the countries had the pleasure of being stared at by several states while they ate. It seemed that Tennessee and Michigan were oblivious to the looks of their siblings though, seeing as they just continued on their conversation with no discomfort.

"That's why Louisiana didn't come to breakfast with us," Michigan explained.

"Ugh, she should just dump the lameo," Tennessee responded. "I mean, he's a total asshole!"

"I know right? I'm surprised the southwestern states haven't done anything yet. I think Lewis is secretly trying to get them to break up though."

"Good, we're gonna have to have a talk with that girl," Hailey said firmly.

They soon finished eating and the countries were freed from the looks of the states. They decided to part ways with Hailey in the foyer because they wanted the stares to stop.

"It was nice meeting you all. Bye Mitchie, I'll see you on family night!" Hailey called out as she bounded up the stairs.

"Yeah, bye."

"What is Family night?" Russia wondered.

"That's not important. I want to know when is family night," Germany responded. Michigan smirked.

"You'll find out soon enough, maybe. Only if the other states are cool with it. I can't really say anything."

"Gee, thanks for all the information on it," Romano muttered sarcastically.


HISTORY LESSON AND CULTURE NOTES!

- America lives on 30 miles of land, because America is approximately 3.8 million square miles, so for the land they own I figure that they have half an inch for every mile. If my math is right that's nearly 30 miles, I'm rounding up

.That would be 19,200 acres of land

- Washington has a lot of Asian influences, and I wanted Japan to have some love!

-Microsoft headquarters is in Redmond Washington

-Tennessee was first founded by three Spainish explorers, so she's Spainish

- Kentucky, he's not stupid, he's just a bit more hilly than billy

- I also figure Tennessee and Kentucky would be friends because they border each other

- Yeah, Michigan and Ohio hate each other, there's a huge rivalry over football, and just in general

- Every state has a state animal, so I decided every state would have a pet and that pet would be their state animal

- Sometimes that state animal will go extinct or cease to live in that state

- There is a common stereotype that people ride horses a lot in Tennessee, and as far as I know it's true

- Therefore Tennessee really likes horses

-The Conquistadors re-introduced horses to North America in 1519

-Therefore, Spain also likes horses

Character Notes!

Washington- So they have Microsoft, this makes him kinda techy and someone needed to represent the smart side of America.

He was pretty chill in this chapter, but Washington has live volcanoes so watch out.

Tennessee- The Volunteer State, that is literally one of her nicknames so she's pretty helpful. That's part of the reason she's in the stables every morning, and part of the reason she volunteered to give the tour.

She has a gun, they hunt a lot in Tennessee. She's nice and sweet, and if you piss her off she can shoot your head off from a hundred feet away.
