Happy Statedom-day to me.

It was September 9th. The day California became a state. It wasn't her official birthday, she was seventeen or so physically when she became a state, but it's still a reason to celebrate.

Climbing out of bed and flinging open the curtains, Cali begins singing to the birds in her Snow White voice. Oddly enough, the California valley Quails below flew up and into her room. They sat there in a line, perched on her vanity, waiting for further instructions.

She had picked up this "sing to birds and they listen" thing shortly after Disney made it's debut with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and she loved it. She could get her state bird (The valley quails) to do simple tasks for her like wash dishes or sweep the floor.

While belting a soothing tune, the quails got to work. Her house needed to be extra clean if she was going to host that party today. They picked up her laundry off the floor and threw it into the hamper, and other chores.

"Peter!"

The artificial intelligence booted up smoothly and said in his robotic voice

"Happy Statedom-day Miss California. How may I help you?"

"Could you play some jams, please?"

The music started up, and Cali recognized it to be "California Gurls" by Katy Perry. One of her favorites.

While singing along, Cali got ready for the day.

After a tango with the hairbrush (The quails had to help) Cali got dressed in her favorite outfit. She would wear her swim suit to the bonfire later, so for now she wore a comfortable orange tank top with pink stripes and a short denim skirt. She also plucked some Golden Poppies from her giant garden and stuck them behind her ear.

Taking a peak at herself in her full-body mirror, she gasped slightly. The last time she had Golden Poppies in her hair was 1848 when she discovered that small nugget of gold by the American River. That was the first step on her road to becoming a successful state. Something she would never forget.

It was around noon now, and the quails had taken their leave (but not without taking some bird seed from Cali's open palm as a thank you). The song changed to "Hotel California" by The Eagles. She began to sway back and forth to the soft acoustics of the opening but stopped when there was a knock on the door.

"CALI!"

Hawaii, full force, tackled the unsuspecting state, knocking her over. The volume of the song turned down as the sisters laughed together and got back up. Also at the door was Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Nevada. They each held a different color, size, and shape box along with their normal luggage. Her family walked in, set the gifts on her dining table, then went to raid the kitchen.

Cali rolled her eyes. Of course the first thing on her brother's minds would be food. Good thing she's always fully stocked.

"Cali! All you got is avocados, walnuts, figs, lemons, alfalfa, oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes, wheat, potatoes, rice,artichokes, garlic, onions, strawberries, grapes, dates, beans, squash, melons, soybeans, and spinach!"

New Mexico's voice piped up.

"What exactly is the problem with that Mex?"

Utah retorted.

"WHERE'S THE MEAT?!"

Cali shrugged

"I'm going vegetarian. You should try it."

New Mexico looked like he was going to pass out at the prospect of a meatless party but Nevada spoke out

"Well, she has some great wine and that's all that really matters, right?"

Arizona shook his head at the antics of his brothers. He was the one that always had to step up and be the mature one like when Nevada got drunk or when Utah was cramming the Book of Mormon down some unsuspecting person's throat. It had always been like that. He was the youngest of all his brothers yet he still was the one with the most sophistication. Hawaii of course is the youngest of everyone, but that's a given and she usually isolates herself from the rest of the states.

"Well, are we gonna go to Disneyland, or what?"

Colorado absolutely loves Disney, so it made sense for them to take a family trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. Cali had pulled a few strings and gotten all of them golden fast passes to boot. She's in pretty tight with the staff members there and can usually sweet-talk her way into the park for free.

"Yeah! Let's get going!"

Some of them got into Cali's Leaf, but the one's who wouldn't fit went with Arizona in his jeep.

Soon, they reached the park

Whoa what? People are reading my story! Yay! Please review, it makes my day! This was the 10th one-shot special so I figured I'd do a birthday thing. This is going to be a long mini-series but I'll get back on track with the normal one-shots eventually. Just hang in there. You get to learn more about Cali's chibi-hood so really I'm doing you a favor.
