New jersey felt a warm damp cloth touching her head and she slowly opened her eyes. The bright room blurred her vision and she felt like a weight was pushing on her chest, causing her breathing to be forced. She tried to sit up but a firm hand crossed her chest laying her back down "No, you need to stay right here.." said a quiet voice.

Her vision slowly cleared and she soon recognized whose voice it was. She smiled "Uncle matt?" The Canadian smiled down at her, she coughed and his face grew stern "What are doing up here? Aren't you suppose to be living in D.C with you're brothers and sisters?" She shrugged "yeah…But rivalry between the states has grown a lot…and I didn't want to be in the middle of it" He frowned as if sensing she wasn't telling the full truth. "You still need to go back…Alfred must be worried sick!" She nodded solemnly and he patted her head "I'll take you back home if you want when you feel a little better…but in the meantime, I'll call you're brothers and sisters to assure you're okay." He dialed the number into his cell phone and New Jersey watched from the bed coughing every two seconds.

"Hello? You've reached the Jones household? Texas speaking…"

"Hey Texas, is you're father home?"

"Uhh…no, but he left The English Basturd in his place to take care of us…you is this?"

"You're Uncle matt?"

"Who? I didn't know we had an uncle…"

"its me…Canada…..you're fathers twin….you're UNCLE"

"I'm sorry…but whom again? I don't recall…"

"I don't have time for this….I'm calling to tell you all that I found you're sister walking in the snow getting really sick in ONTARIO of all places!"

"you found Jersey? Oh! And where was she?"

"….I'll bring her when she gets better…."

Canada hung up the phone and mentally facepalmed 'why does everyone forget him?' New Jersey stared at him and smiled "if it matters…at least I remember" He smiled and nodded "thanks"

Washington D.C

After hearing that his sister was safe New York was relieved. Louisiana looked after the boy shaking her head as he ran down the steps to try to call her. Louisiana knew he was really close to New Jersey… but how close? She would never know….some days, New Jersey and New York would fight vigorously and other days would completely ignore each other. On other days, they would act like best friends and very rarely, would act as if they were twins. They weren't twins of course but you wouldn't say if you first met them, before New York's hair changed colors (not from hair dye…somehow during the depression his hair changed color) they looked exactly alike. Louisiana remembered those days…before technology when her family…well….wasn't as mental and New York still did Broadway. After California and Nevada came along, New York inched slowly away from Broadway and soon it disappeared from his life completely. Now he works more in Wall Street more than anything. Most states say that he was much more interesting when he played out parts in Broadway in plain daylight randomly or anything else to do with theater. Louisiana still however saw New York as the same person he had always been. The stubborn Yankee that always thought he was the best person in the world. Sure, he made a lot of stupid decisions…but, it's just the way he's always been and always will be. England left back to London hours ago, the pick up their father. Father would be here any time now and her babysitting job would be over…or would it? Louisiana thought for a long second and frowned. When she gets back to New Orleans, she would be alone again. And would have to wait another three months before the states have another meeting…but, she should be happy about that right?...she thought for a second and shook her head absentmindedly. No, of course she would be happier…her mind is just fried from Texas's cooking…yeah that's it…she facepalmed herself and sighed "man…" "u-uhh…Louisiana? Are-are you alright?" She looked down to see a small black haired girl looking up to her with big blue eyes. Louisiana smiled "Hey Hawaii, yes, I'm okay…" Hawaii smiled a little and held her teddy bear their uncle matt gave her close to her chest "You just looked sad for a moment…" Louisiana adverted her gaze and sighed "Just thinking…" Hawaii, as if reading her mind sighed "If you leave us, we all will miss you…like we always do, all the states live here except for you…so instead of 50 states in the house, there's always 49 of us…" Louisiana nodded and Hawaii smiled "How about we make it the right number! 50!" Louisiana watched as the 8 year old took hold of her hand and looked up with her blue eyes pleading. Louisiana Crouched down and Hawaii gave her a surprise hug "please don't leave us again nii-chan.."
