Hello lovelies! I'm back with another drabble I wrote at school today! Before I begin, I want to thank RowenaMatthewJones. You sent such an inspiring message, I just had to acknowledge it so everyone knew how wonderful you are!

Let's get into the story!

(Linebreak)

New Mexico was in a family of about 70, if you included territories, D.C., and America himself. Sure, they were all related to her, in a very complicated way, but still related, but Texas and Arizona would always be her closest friends.

New Mexico loved her brothers. They did everything together. They would watch Cowboys games together, even though Ari was a fan of the Cardinals. They would take hikes around the Sandia Mountains and in the Grand Canyon. They would visit the Hot Air Balloon festival in Albuquerque every year. Everyone knew they were inseparable.

"Gotcha!"

"Put me down, Tex!"

Texas, being 2 years older and the tallest out of the states, had grabbed the petite New Mexican and thrown her over his shoulder while she was on her way to the Arts Room. She was not pleased.

"You cochino! Let go of me!"

"Can't. I'm bored," he said while smirking. That smug bastard!

Texas walked down the hall, getting stares from Oklahoma and Wyoming, who were talking in front of the bathroom door. While not uncommon for an occurrence similar to this one to happen in the halls of the large house. In a house full of teenagers, prank wars, sibling rivalry's and favoritism, and teasing ran rampant.

New Mexico was carried downstairs, her body flopping around a bit with every step Tex took. He brought her into the large family den, a room with a collection of large couches and armchairs covered in toned-down blue fabric with a projector pointed at a blank white wall. Texas unceremoniously dumped her on one of said couches, and flopped down next to her, before getting up for a second to grab Arizona, who had been reading on the floor a few feet away from them, and dump him on top of the shorter girl. To finish off the torture, Tex laid down on top of them, effectively trapping the two.

"What did you do this time?" wheezed Ari.

New Mexico was silent for a moment, before admitting, "I insulted his barbecue…."

Arizona let out a comical groan, before the three of them dissolved in fits of laughter, their limbs sticking out in every direction.

From her position under her two brothers, New Mexico could see a few of her other siblings and America standing in the doorway. Her face fell. Pops was holding a camera.

I really loved writing this! I reminded me of when me and my cousins when we were younger and my uncle Jared would play with us.

Albuquerque is the biggest city in New Mexico, and is located near the Sandia (watermelon in spanish) Mountains.

New Mexico has no NFL team, so most of them support the Cowboys.

Thank you for reading! Hwyl fawr lovelies!
