Oct. 14th, Minnesota's house
"Oh, this is not going to work at all." Minnesota said, shaking her head at Louisiana and Florida's lack of winter clothing. Right now, Florida was wearing an odd assortment consisting of his clothes, plus Minnesota's mittens, scarf and ear muffs.
Florida was shivering uncontrollably. "Have I died and gone to the other place?" he asked. "I've never been so miserable in my life!"
Louisiana smirked. "No, I'm pretty sure you'd be on fire right now if you had."
"Oh, haha." Florida snapped. Apparently the cold made the warm weathered state cranky.
Minnesota giggled at Louisiana's retort, then shoved Florida back into the house. "Stay here, we're going to go shopping for winter clothes for you."
As she closed the door, she heard him fire back, "Yeah, like there's anywhere to go around here!" motioning to the snow covered nothingness of her home.
Minnesota grabbed Louisiana's hand and led him to her old, snow covered truck, proceeding to scrape the snow off with a large branch she had found. She smiled. "This might take a while, you can go back in-" she was greeted by a snowball to her face. She spluttered, looking up to see the gangly southerner doubled over laughing.
"You should have seen the look on your face!" he exclaimed, falling silent as a snowball hit him in the face. "Sweetheart, you asked for it!" he bent down to make more snowballs.
Thirty minutes later found the two of them drenched in snow0slush. Minnesota smiled. "I guess that means we're going shopping for you, too!"
Louisiana laughed, looking down at his drenched black sports coat, slacks and red shirt. "So, where are we headed?"
Minnesota grinned as she said, "The Mall of America! It has over 500 stores!"
"Omg." Louisiana breathed.
"Yeah, so stick with me, it's very easy to get lost." Minnesota climbed into her truck, cranking it up. "Get in before you catch a cold!"
Later
Louisiana looked dumbfound at the sights around him. This mall was like nothing he'd ever seen before. Not only did it have stores, it had restaurants, a Theme Park Food Court, mini-golf, a movie theater, bowling alley and much, much more on tis four different levels. He glanced over at Minnesota, who was happily leading him by the hand through the wonderland.
"I've never seen anything like this!" he commented.
"It's something, isn't it!" Minnesota replied. "It's the second largest mall in all North America!"
"Really? Where's the largest?"
"Alberta, Canada; only she's got me beat on that!" Minnesota gleefully replied. "Oh, I was thinking we should get some walkie-talkies!"
Louisiana looked at her, puzzled. "What for?"
"Well, we are responsible for queuing the announcer groups and the music group at the Olympics, right? So, we have to have some way of communicating with them."
Louisiana pulled her close and rubbed her skull with his knuckles. "See, you do have good ideas."
Minnesota threw off his arm, blushing fiercely.
