Indiana's POV
The ballroom was huge, soft brown flooring and white walls with statues of the big and most important people (America, Russia, Germany ect…) carved from marble. "This…is… amazing!" I squealed. I walked around in my knee length yellow sun dress, admiring all the important people. I noticed Virginia and Russia against the wall. "Vinny looks sick," I whispered to myself. Then I saw Russia whisper something and help her up. I smiled at them when suddenly… "Hello, Indiana." A familiar voice boomed behind me. I yelped and turned around. Germany smiled. "Oh, um….hi?" he cocked his head at me. "You seemed scared. Has someone frightened you?" I laughed. "Yup. You did, actually. Ten points!" Smiling, Germany took my hand and kissed it. "Forgive me for scaring you, meine Liebe. I did not mean it." I blushed, then began stammering on. "So, um, this is kind of sudden. The ball I mean, not you kissing my hand… though that was unexpected and completely random as heck…" "Ahhh this is impossible!!!!" Suddenly, a scream erupted from behind me, and I turned to see Virginia running away and a hooded man chasing her. "Vinny!!" I yelled chasing the two, and leaving Germany behind me.
I chased them them into the hallway, swerving myself around the people trying to enter. But pretty soon I found myself lost, in another part of the building I did not recgonize. "Oh great...I Always had an issue with direction" I complained in my head. I made my way to a fork in the hallway. It was eather left or right.. I looked down both hallways, but they both looked the same. "Well...they always saw the right way is right!" I said takeing off down the hallway. I passed several door, all of them were plain of course. "They should really lable things for the sake of people like me" I mutterded . At the end of the hall was a glass door leading to the familar outside garden. "Well I should probibley find my way by the gardens." I told myself reassureingly. I knew this because I actully had quite the green thumb, even though I'm trying to become more industrious like my Nothren siblings, I cant help but love the smell of freshly plowed dirt and gardening. As I made my way out of the door I spotted two figures standing in the darkend garden. "Is that you Vinny?" I called out into the darkness. One of the figures turned. "I better not start looking like Virgina" One of them called. I stopped in my tracks and smiled "North Dakota!?" I asked. "One and only" he said walking over to me. His blonde wavy sholder hair had been tied back into a short poneytail, in which he also had on a suit but still wore his black worn out cowboy hat on this back. I gave him a hug. "Wheres your twin?" I asked him. He pouted a bit, "I see how it is... i'm kiddin he back there" He said pointing behind him.
South Dakota emerged from behind the bushes dressed like his twin, only he had on a fedora instead of the cowboy hat. I ran past North Dakota and tackled South Dakota to the ground. "I MISSEDED YOU!!!!" I yelled and (somehow) hugged him. "Oh…God…your heavy, get off!" he struggled while N. Dakota got it on video while laughing and muttering "youtube!" over and over. Finally I got off of him and brushed myself off. "If you just called me fat, im going to take my heels and shove them so far down your throat they'll come out of your-" North Dakota covered my mouth with his hand. "Anyway! Where were we?" I licked his hand and he pulled away yelling like a girl. Then I remembered why I was there in the first place. "Have you seen Virginia? She ran away and I think she came this way but…" "I HAVE THE SOAP!!!" a high voice screeched. North and South Dakota looked at each other in fear. "…NEW YORK! RUN!" They sprinted away, leaving me confused and with a headache. "What else is new?"
Virginia's POV
I ran down the hallway running away from him, seeing a fork in the path I panicked and ran twoards the left. Sprinting down the hallway and out the door into the garden. I heard his heavy footsteps from behind me. "crap, crap, crap!" I mentally yelled to myself. I took a sharp turn and hid behind an old tool shed. I held my breath as I heard him run past me. I counted to 5 and released my breath. "Why do he do this to me!?" I thought as I crept through the bushes back twoards the building. A large hand grabbed by sholder and pulled me out of the bush. "Ow,ow,ow,ow!" I said continually as the twigs poked and scratched at me. I was layed flat on the ground as I looked up to see West Virgina's smileing face. "I hate you" I growled at him. His smile only grew broader. "You dident have to run away" he said holding out a hand for me. I ignored his hand and picked myself up, dusting off my dress. "Well I dont exactully want to talk to you" I told him walking away. He walked after me "Thats exactaly why I had Cali hold, or distract you untill I got there!" He explained to me. In the dark I could tell his suit was wet as well was his dark black hair that matched mine exactally. "Your wet." I said blankly. He rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly "Yeeah...I kinda got stuck in a thunder storm." I raised an eyebrow at him "I dont belive that." I told him. "Oh come on! I know we dont have the best history together..." He whined. "Well we dont have the greatest.". "Our leaders and people get along!" He exclaimed. "But I dont have to!" I snapped at him. He stopped and Stood there looking at me with his hands in his pockets. "Civil wars over now.." He mumbled. I drected my eyes back twoards the building "Thats not the point.."
"Then what is the point?" his deep brown eyes grabbed my attention from the building. I shook my head and broke the trance. "The point is, I am not comfortable around you. Yes, the civil war is over, but the scars still hurt. How could you do that to me? to our people?" my eyes watered slightly. He sighed and tried to take my hand, but i moved out of the way. "i.. split from you because what you were doing was wrong, and you wouldnt listen to reason. we couldnt take it anymore. we did what was right." i glared at him. "You. were. a child. how in the world did you know what was right?" the tears began falling freely and i fiddled with my dress. "I should go, theyre probably wondering where i am. see you." I turned on my heel and made my escape when the wind began to whisper around me and carried the words "see you, big sister." i turned around, but he was no where to be seen. "always the over dramatic one." i smiled slightly. "Vinny! Vinny?" I heard Indiana's voice echo from somewhere. I wiped my tears away and hurried to my friends side. "Oh there you are! what was all that about?" i shook my head. "just a misunderstanding. Shall we return?" She nodded, but there was a certain glint in her eye i didnt understand. Uh-oh.
She quickly lead me up to the stairs of the buliding. "Uh Indy?.." I asked raiseing an eyebrow at her. He looked back at me nervously. "We dont want to be missed do we?" she quickly said before looking around the area. "No. Your running from something..." I said with a sly smile creeping upon my face. She stiffend a little "N-no! What are you taling about, hehe?" She said quickly waveing her arms around innocently. "Sure." I said plainly and took her arm walking back up the stairs twoards the door. Once we were safely inside we stopped, looking around at the familer, yet unfamiler hallways. "Uh...do you know where we're sapposta go?" Indy asked me. "I wouldent' if you dont." I replied trying to remember all of the twists and turns that I had took. She sighed loudly "You wouldnt happen have a phone would you?" She asked me half-heartly. I looked at her blankly "And where in the would would I put a phone?!" I yelled at her motioning to the dress I was wearing. She shrugged and began to walk. "What are you going?" I asked her. She glanced back at me and smiled "I have no idea. But we'll never get anywhere if you keep standing there." I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of her "Well then" I said simply
