A small group of states sit around in a large room filled with chairs, sofas and stacks of books, waiting for the last and newest member to arrive to the group. California turns to Connie, "Sis make a note…meeting is starting late." She nods as she jots it down on her pad of paper before looking back up at her younger brother and acting president of their little group.

Suddenly England walks thought the door looking red in the face muttering a quick apology. Cal just walks up and shakes his hand, "We're just glad you came. So England this is our little group the so called Imaginary Friends." He turns back to Connie, "Make another note please."

She smiles as she writes, before looking back up to them, "Ok England you know me and Cal," She points with her pen to the others, "That's Maine, Rhode Island and…Florida is somewhere around here." Almost the minute she says it Florida pops her head up from behind a large sofa.

She stands looking around, "Sorry I was playing hide and seek…but I think they ran into the other room." Florida jumps over the sofa and lands on it with a plop, "So are we starting or what Cal?"

"Yeah Flora give me a second." Cal says before sitting on a large chair, "So as acting president…" He stops and glares at Rhode Island as he moans, "Anyway we're all here to um I guess..." He scratches his head trying to ignore the singing birds and mice at his feet. "Guys it's not the time… stop singing!" He looks down frowning at the small creatures as they scurry away laughing.

Connie takes up the explanation, "All of us have friends the others for some reason can't see so every month we get together and well just talk mostly." She turns to a woman walking around the room with one hand constantly on the wall muttering something about the color yellow. "So who wants to go first?"

Rhode Island sighs shaking his head, "You know what I'd rather have some of your mice Cal then him." Rhode points to a small monkey staring at the group pointing almost angrily at them from the safety of the back closet. "God I wish he had stayed home."

Suddenly a small group of laughing rabbits runs in followed by a black and white cat sprint into the room. The cat stops at England and mouths something just as lines of words appear above his head, "Hello, nice to meet you." Before they race behind a large stack of books and disappear.

The states shake their heads, "Connie make a note the Author's finally lost her mind. And that no one will get her stupid references!" Cal says just as three men appear out of thin air one wearing a yellow shirt, one in blue and the final in red. He stares at them before shooting the one wearing a red shirt with a laser gun. "Um make that most of her references…but she still lost her mind."

A voice sounds out, "What's your point and you didn't set you fazer to stun did you? I told you to stop killing the red shirts!"

England nearly falls out of his chair at the sudden voice, "The bloody Hell was that?!" He looks around at the unimpressed states hoping for an answer.

Lucky for him Connie looks up from her writing, "Don't mind her, England. But she needs to stop breaking the wall."

"I didn't break any wall and besides Hollywood boy started it."

Cal wants to glare but is unsure where to exactly so he mutters something very rude, before sighing, "Whatever, just ignore her and she might go away. Now where were we?" Connie hands him her notes and he skims over them, "Right so Flora you ended last time so do you want to start?"

The southernmost state sits up smiling, "Yeah I kind of do, I want to send back a few of your boys. But I want to keep a few of the umm super heroes for a little while longer." She lets out a school girl giggle her face turning a light red.

Now it's Maine's turn to shoot a glare, "Wait you guys trade! That's not fair, Cal I'll trade you anyone for Hawkeye!"

Their president shakes his head, "Why do you want him?"

Again the voice calls out, "Duh he's from Maine and besides he makes a wicked martini." Maine nods in agreement.

Now Cal looks up towards the sky thinking the Author must be somewhere above them, "Stop helping and Damn it stop watching TV land."

"Make me."

He folds his arms as Maine gives him pleading look, "I'll think about it. And Flora I'll take them back anytime."

Just outside the window Wyoming and Iowa sitting in a tree looking on at the people in the room, Iowa turns to his younger brother, "Do you know who they're talking to?"

He shrugs taking a guess, "Maybe the Author."

Iowa lets out a chuckle, "Dude that's just a myth the Author doesn't exist." Suddenly Iowa is slapped upside the head and he falls to the ground below.

His brother looks down at his moaning older brother then upward, "Hey Cat, can I have a soda?" Suddenly a Coke appears in Wyoming's hand, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, little one."
