Episode 10! Here and out! I know that I've mostly had female states, but that will change soon! And too little people voted, so I'm going to just wing it! you can still vote to help push the story along though! It doesn't close until the 50th state has been introduced! Um… 50th as in all 50, cause I've already introduced Hawaii by the way. Enjoy!

America's house hallway en route to the lunchroom

3rd person POV

They were going to keep arguing, well, more like Romano and Prussia were going to yell at her while Avery told them absolutely nothing. When suddenly, their guide was tackled by a state speaking frantically in Spanish. The state was a mix of Cuba's skin color, she had Spain's hair color and waviness (it was pulled into a high pony), and sky blue eyes. She's a few inches taller than Avery as well. Spain was a bit startled to hear her speaking Spanish, while Avery and Lilo tried to calm her down (Mexico and Canada went to the bathroom, because there are so many people in the house they have gender segregated bathrooms) and everyone else was surprised that the state knew more languages than English. While the two states were able to extract Avery from the state's death grip, she still hovered close to her sister.

"Is it true Ava? He's here?" The state said, tone drenched in fear. The nations were shocked (I use this word a lot. Understand that I use this word often because I don't have a better word other than surprise. Help me) Who could make this state so terrified? Avery gave her a pitying smile, before motioning to the nations behind her. The state looked and gave a squeak.

"Alright, if you don't feel up to it, Lilo or I could introduce you. Is that okay?" Avery asked calmly. She wasn't going to mother hen the state, but she wasn't going to make her more upset either. Hawaii smiled largely.

"I'll do it! I don't mind introducing you!" The state gave a weak smile and a said it was okay if Hawaii wanted to introduce her. Quietly though, so many of the countries couldn't hear her. Hawaii whipped around with what will now be known as her signature smile (the really big one that lights the whole room up).

"This is one of my big sisters! Her name is Flora T. Jones! And she's Florida! It's the 27th state!" Hawaii said excitedly as Flo gave a smile and a wave. Several thoughts ran through everyone's heads. I'll list them. (Canada and Mexico are still in the bathroom)

'Oh dios mio. He is here isn't he. Alright Florida, you will not scream, you will not faint.' -Florida

'Florida? that's one of my colonies! I wonder if she likes me…'- Spain

'Since she wasn't really a part of the colonies, maybe she won't have a grudge against me.' -England

'This state is not really threatening. But better to be safe than sorry.' -Germany

'The awesome me vonder's how Pennsylvania's doing...' -Prussia

'Oh the poor thing. She looks just about ready to faint.' -Hungary

'She has a lovely figure.' -France

'I do not understand why she trembles.' -Russia

'Florida… wasn't that one of the tomato b*stard's colonies?' -Romano

'I wonder if Florida-san likes manga...' -Japan

'I wonder if this one will be as much of a handful as her father is when she's not quaking in fear, aru.' -China

'How much longer is this going to take? I'm getting tired and it looks like Florida wants to be anywhere but here.' -Greece

'At least she's not like Prussia. I vonder if there is a state like me somevhere.' - Austria

' I wonder if they'll have pasta for lunch...' -Veneziano

'Maybe Avey will let Flo and me have ice cream for lunch.' -Hawaii

'This can only end badly.' -Massachusetts thought with a smirk. In his excitement, Spain bounced in front of Florida with a big smile on his face, eliciting a squeak from her.

"Hola! Me llama España! It's nice to meet you Florida!" Spain said while putting his hand out for her to shake. Meanwhile, (as in while Spain is talking and all the nations are staring at him in annoyance) Florida was staring at him bug eyed like. And when Spain put his hand out she just stared at him before fainting backwards. It really was lucky that Avery was standing so close to her (and expecting her to faint) cause she caught her younger sister. Now all the countries were reasonably concerned.

"Mios Dio! What happened? Is she okay?" Spain said worriedly. Avery gave him a tight smile.

"Yeah, she'll be fine. You were just a bit much for her. Next time let her come to you when she's ready." Avery said. She almost pitied the Spanish nation, almost. So she only felt a little bad about what she said next. In response to his confusion that is.

"She's afraid of you. Give her time and she'll probably come around. But it has to be on her terms." Spain was stricken. 'What could I have done to make her fear me?' Almost everyone was wondering what the cheerful Spaniard did to make the girl faint. Lilo took pity on the distraught (and confused) Spaniard.

"It's not that you did anything to Flo, it's that you made sad memories for her land." Hawaii said. This is confusing to all the nations (and probably you too). So Avery explained.

"Even if we were not "born" yet, our land still makes "memories"." Avery said tiredly. Now all the nations had a sinking feeling in their guts.

"As the personification of the land, we get those memories. Usually when we are very young, and we almost always get them when we dream." Avery gave a thin smile, even though her eyes held sadness. The countries definitely were not liking where she was going. At all.

"Vhat does this have to do with Florida's fear of Spain?" Germany asked. Even though he wasn't sure he wanted to know. Avery's smile disappeared, and it looked like she was remembering something sad.

"It's because Florida woke up screaming from nightmares of conquistadors when she was only 5 years old." Massachusetts said softly. Spain stared at her horrified. He was not proud of how his country handled the Natives back then. But he never dreamed that it would affect her like that. He was ready to beg for forgiveness, but Hawaii stopped him.

"Don't." Lilo said. Firmly, but with compassion and wisdom that doesn't belong in a 6 year olds voice.

"Flo just needs time. You can say you're sorry. But the only one who needs that is Flo. When she's ready she'll listen." Lilo said with a gentle smile. All the countries stared at the little girl. Understandable, she did just say something incredibly wise. Then Lilo turned to Avery with a big smile.

"Hey Avey! I was wondering if Flo and I can have ice cream for lunch? I mean, after she wakes up of course." Lilo said. It caused the nations to fall down anime style. How could she go from wise to that in under 2 seconds? Avery smirked at her.

"Not a chance kiddo. Unless you want Ginny to lecture us on the "benefits of a balanced meal for growing children"." Avery said. Saying the last part in her best "Virginia"voice. Hawaii nodded sagely.

"I see your point."

Now the atmosphere was going almost back to normal. And Avery foolishly thought that they could get to the lunchroom without any more incidents. And so, so very close to the lunchroom, with Massachusetts carrying her unconscious sister bridal style, they ran into one of the worst possible states to run into at this time. A state with a grudge. A state with a violent grudge. A state with a violent grudge against one of the visiting nations.

"Like, I heard that, like a certain… Asian country was like visiting?"

"Of all the states in the house, we had to run into you."

Done! Poor Florida. But this sets up some important plot points that I may or may not actually put in. And the next episode will have an actual fight scene! That I will try and probably fail to properly describe! Don't worry, It'll all be better between Spain and Flo by the end anyway. Songy Song Time!
