Outline

I said I'd do an outline for the rest of the story if there was any interest, and Seileach responded. So here's the outline:

The story left off with Missouri waking up and discovering that Illinois wasn't at the meeting spot. The next chapter featured Missouri calling various states, only to realize very few were responding. The ones that did respond are: Wisconsin, Delaware, Alaska, Nebraska, South Carolina, Hawaii, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Connecticut, Indiana, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Iowa, and Arkansas.

Upon discussion, it was agreed that something was off, and since Missouri was the one who initiated the phone calls and since Missouri is located centrally in the country, all the states would meet at her place outside St. Louis.

From there, bickering ensued over what to do next. Nobody was able to get a hold of America, and even Tony didn't know where he was. Some states were in favor of contacting England, Canada, France, and others, for help, but Missouri was in favor of doing things on their own. The countries never took the states seriously anyway, so now was their chance to prove that they were capable of rescuing America on their own, without the help of the countries.

Missouri calls Forgottonia while Massachusetts, home to MIT, tracks the signal to Richmond, Virginia. A road trip is then decided upon.

Here's a bit from the start of the next chapter, during the road trip:

"Are we there yet?" asked North Dakota from the backseat for what seemed like the hundredth time.

Arkansas who was seating next to him asked, "Can I shoot him now?"

I swore under my breath. "If there's going to be any shooting done, it's going to be done by me if the two of you don't shut the hell up!"

Iowa, who was driving, (I was in the passenger seat) just smiled, and I could hear more snickers coming from the further back seats where Alaska, Nebraska, and Hawaii were sitting, clearly amused.

"Yes Mom," replied North Dakota and Arkansas, knowing it would get under my skin. I may have raised them and earned the nickname "Mother of the West" but that didn't mean I enjoyed being called that. They used to years ago, but once they became their own states they stopped and started treating me more like an older sister than a mother. Once they stopped, I started treated them like actual adults, something that makes me wonder sometimes. Now they just do it because they know it annoys me since they don't actually obey me like a mother anymore. Though they should.

"If I was really your mother I would have drowned you at birth!" I yelled again.

For some reason whenever I'm with a lot of my siblings at one time, yelling or screaming inevitably happens at some point, usually by me.

Eventually, everybody makes it to Virginia in one piece. I planned on ending with a cliffie, with the mastermind behind the disappearances greeting them upon arrival: The Confederate States of America (C.S.A).

The next chapter was to open with the states being captured, and plans revealed. Missouri is rather bitter seeing him since she was technically a 'free state', but had been claimed as a territory of C.S.A. by Missouri representatives. C.S.A. wasn't completely killed at the end of the Civil War, and his spirit still lives due to the South.

His plan was to have all the wanna-be's made into official states, giving him enough support in Congress to become the "New America". Except Missouri started poking around, and government officials were paying attention, so he had to speed up his plans. By having the wanna-bes kidnap their 'states', he could blackmail the governor of the states and America into doing what he wants. By keeping the states hidden from America, he can threaten America's safety if they don't behave.

The states that show up at Richmond, the capital of C.S.A., are locked up, and the chapter ends with Hawaii being revealed to be a traitor among the group, telling C.S.A. what the remaining states had been up to.

Why have Hawaii be a traitor? It's nothing personal, I'm just tired of her being portrayed in fics as a little girl, and figured she must be sick of being babied as well. Yes, Hawaii is the youngest state, but Hawaii was a country before even being a territory. Hawaii never choose to become part of America, unlike the Vermont Republic, Republic of Texas, and California Republic. It was invaded, and the monarchy was overthrown.

In 1810, Hawaii became the Kingdom of Hawai'i. Before the Louisiana Purchase, at a time when the United States only had 17 states, Hawaii was its own monarchy.

In 1843, a Lord George Paulet, a commander of a British warship showed up in Honolulu Harbor, demanding the Hawaiian Island cede to the British Crown. He occupied Hawaii for five months, before his commanding officer, Richard Thomas showed up, informing the Hawaiian King, Kamehameha III, the Hawaiian Islands were restored to him.

Until the 1890's, the Kingdom of Hawai'i was an independent sovereign state and was recognized as such by the U.S., the U.K., France, Japan and Germany. On January 17, 1893, the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, Queen Lili'uokalani, was overthrown by Americans who were opposed to her attempt of establishing a new constitution supporting the rights of the monarchy, and were supported by sugar businessmen. President Grover Cleveland called for an investigation, and said that the monarchy should be repaired. Eventually the U.S. troops involved were found to be not guilty, and Cleveland ceased his efforts to restore the queen.

Hawaii was annexed on July 7, 1898. The Empire of Japan sent warships to protest Hawaii's annexation. Hawaii became an official US territory on February 22, 1900. Hawaii wouldn't become a state until August 21, 1959.

In 1993, on the 100th anniversary of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Congress passed a resolution, which President Clinton signed into law, offering an apology to Native Hawaiians on behalf of the United States.

So basically, the Kingdom of Hawai'i was overthrown by greedy American sugar businessmen, not happy with the idea of being ruled by a female native queen. There were other things going on, but from what I've read, that's what it comes down to. Keep in mind that this was around the time of Imperialism, so invading another country, calling the people savages, and claiming the land as a territory was common. Given all that's happened to Hawaii, I'd be incredibly mad too, especially if the other states insisted on treating her like a baby since she was the youngest state, and sympathetic to the C.S.A. if promised a restored monarchy.

After that reveal, Missouri would be in the process of being tied up by Hawaii. Hawaii would explain her reasons, and Missouri would ask, "What about Ohana?", referencing Lilo and Stitch. Hawaii wouldn't be impressed by some movie line, and Missouri would have given up hope of escaping. I then planned on her saying something about how Hawaii at least wasn't a sell out.

Hawaii would ask what Missouri meant, and Missouri would explain the following. Before she was officially a state, she was a representation of the Missouria tribe, and as such looked like a Native American. Upon being claimed and passed around to different European countries, she and other states were forced to look less like a savage, and more like Europeans. By doing so, Missouri felt like she was abandoning her people and has never forgiven herself for doing so, when she could have fighted back. Hawaii however, has kept her original appearance, which is what Missouri means by not selling out.

Hawaii is taken aback by the response, she had never realized what the other states had gone through to become part of America. Yes she had been taken over by force, but at least she looked the same, her people were still around, and her culture was somewhat in tact. Missouri couldn't claim that.

More talking is done, and Hawaii tells Missouri the other states are hidden on Alcatraz near San Francisco, California, away from America in Washington. Missouri escapes by remembering who she used to be, and looking like her old self. Hawaii claims that she is an assistant, (since the others can't tell a Native American from a Hawaiian), and they are flying home.

In the next chapter they make it Alcatraz, and begin to bust the missing states out, only to be caught by the wanna-bes. At some point Missouri wonders about how she doesn't have any wanna-bes. During the Civil War, one had emerged who wanted to join the Confederates. Missouri eventually remembers that she embraced the wanna-be, recognizing her Southern tendencies, and admitting she was torn. After that, the wanna-be disappeared, despite there still being Southern sympathizers.

By remembering this, Missouri tells Illinois and the others who are currently fighting their wanna-bes. She tells Illinois to stop fight, and start accepting. It takes a while, but after admitting that she hasn't always been there for her wanna-bes, she recognizes them, and hugs them, they disappear. Others promptly do the same, and the wanna-bes are taken care of.

However, an emergency session in Congress has been called for, and America and the others aren't aware of what's happened in California. In order to get their attention, the 37 states make their way to a football game since they know America will be watching. Once there, California gets them in as a choir group, and they start singing 'This Land is Your Land'. At the end they explain that all Americans should recognize each other, and accept one another for who they are, hoping America gets the hint.

Seeing the majority of the states safe, he does, and accepts C.S.A. Once he's gone, the other states are eventually freed, and a family reunion of sorts happens with America and all 50 states (and the four territories) realizing how important working together and family really are.

Here's a bit that I was planning to include somewhere regarding accents:

I noticed that she was slowly losing her Chicago accent, and using more of her southern one, becoming more comfortable with where she was. Most people, and even states, associate Illinois with Chicago. The truth is, it's just one dinky part of her, there's also the Mississippi flowing to the west, the farms, Cahokia Mounds, and her southern tip is part of the Shawnee National Forest. All of her different parts mean she can act like a Cubs obsessed snob one minute, or a friendly Southerner speaking with some twang in her voice. I'm the same. I can either be all metropolitan St. Louis, or acting like America's hometown. Both have their pros and cons.

Please forgive me if I had any information wrong, I got most of it from Wikipedia. That's outline for the rest of the story. I feel like a lot of time we get so caught up in own states/areas, that we forget that we are part of something bigger, and by forgetting that, we are potentially tearing ourselves apart. We should concentrate more on what brings us together rather than what divides us, and wanted to reflect that message in the story.

If interested in what wanna-be's were part of a certain state or area, let me know. I wanted to include the info. in here, but my excel file is rather big.

Also if possible, leave me a review letting me know what you think of the outline, and thanks for reading.
