Time for the next chapter! And I'm so sorry for the long wait! I had volleyball and softball practice and I was actually allowed to hang out with one of my friends that my mom's not too keen on so we spent the whole afternoon just walking around town. I was really busy but here's the newest chapter!
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
The next day came and everyone was back in the auditorium. Father countries were sitting with their son/daughter states as they waited for the 6th state to show him/herself. It wasn't that long a wait as a young man with light blue eyes, glasses, and light brown hair walked out onto the stage.
"Hello, I'm the 6th states Massachusetts or Augustus. I became a state on February 6th, 1788 and my second parent is England. I'm not his biggest fan but I can deal with him, I deal with all the other states on a daily basis after all. But I wish Maine would become part of me again, I liked those days better." He walked off the stage sulking and before anyone could say anything they heard shouting from behind the curtains.
"I am not becoming one with you again! NO WAY IN HELL!"
"But why!?"
"Because I said so!"
"Hey! 'Nough fightin' tu idiots!" Penn shouted from her seat between the Germanics an the Celts. There was silence afterwards, reminding the countries how much power this girl held over the other states.
They were torn from their thoughts as a girl with long honey-blonde hair, glasses, and dark green eyes walked out. "Hello countries, I am Maryland, the 7th state. My name is Annabel and I became a state on April 28th 1788. My other parent is also England as he will be for most of the original 13. I'll warn you that some of the other states may have rude outbursts but it's only because we don't usually trust people we've just met. I do hope we can get along though."
Another girl came out as Maryland left the stage. She was seemed very lady-like and sophisticated. "I am South Carolina, otherwise known as Alice. My father is England and I'm also not fond of Dad." She points a glare in America's direction and he sighs but does nothing else about it. "I became the 8th state on May 23rd 1788 and was one of the richest by far." She walked/stalked off, head high. The nations raised one ot two eyebrows at her behavior and some glanced at a now deflated America. But, once again, before anyone could say anything, another female state came out. She seemed very cheery with green-blue eyes and brown hair, not to mention what looked like a couple oil stains on her face and arms.
"Hi, I'm New Hampshire or Chloe. I became the 9th state on June 21st 1788 and am also a daughter of England. But I hope you don't mind Alice's behavior, she knows how to hold a grudge and is still taking her loss during the civil war out Dad. We're not sure why and she won't tell us why either. Putting that aside though, I hope we can get along and if you ever need something fixed, feel free to call me. I'm usually in the workshop."
America seemed a bit happier than before after Chloe left the stage tinkering with something she had pulled out of her pocket. Another girl with black hair and amber eyes came out onto the stage, she seemed like a mix of Chloe and Alice.
"Hi there, I'm Virginia which also happens to be my actual name. I became the 10th state on June 25th 1788. I am also the daughter of England, but I don't hate him. I merely dislike him but still care for my Father. I do most of the cooking but sometimes the others join in to make some of their own dishes for the others. But don't make me mad, this rule applies to all the other states as well." She walked of the stage with a bit of a creepy smile that made America chuckle nervously and rub the back of his neck.
Though as usual another state came on before any conversation could start, this time it was a male state. He had light blonde hair that covered one eye and gold-brown eyes.
"Hey, I'm New York or Rikki, the 11th state. I became a state on July 26th 1788 and my other parents are the Netherlands and England, though I like Netherlands better." That made a miniscule smile appear on Netherlands' lips, only Belgium noticed and she smiled as well seeing it. "Anyway, I really need to go Dad, I have this lesson in literally 3 hours, 5 minutes, and 27 seconds."
"Yeah, you can go, but cancel anything else for the rest of the week. You're having a family reunion after all." America replied.
"Got it." He ran towards the front of the stage and jumped into the seating area, he landed on the empty seat behind Netherlands and said hi before taking off again out the door.
"How could he tell the time to the second without using a watch!?" Spain asked in shock.
"He's my country's busiest and most active state, he knows the time to the millisecond." America explained. Spain and the other nations wondering the same thing nodded in understanding and looked up for the next state who was already standing there waiting.
She had very short and dark strawberry blonde hair with light green, almost lime, eyes. "Hello, I'm South Carolina's younger twin North Carolina. I became the 12th state on November 21 1789, quite the amount of time between established states I know, but that's because of population. You couldn't become a state until you reached a certain population and at the time one white man was equal to three black men because otherwise the Northern states would have been very dominate in the government and if one black man was equal to one white man the Southern states would have been very dominate in the government to we compromised. I believe it was called the Three-Fifths Compromise. But back to me specifically, my other parent is the same as most of the other 13's, England. I'm only mad he introduced us to slavery because it's what cause our family so much pain and it's what cause the Civil War." She walked off after her rather lengthy introduction and pushed out the next person, another boy.
He had dark, rusty brown hair, green eyes, and glasses. "I'm Rhode Island, the smallest state and the last of the original 13 making me the 13th oldest. I became the last of the 13 on May 29th 1790 and my other parent is England. Do not make fun of my height or I will put you 10 feet under, forget 6. Just because I'm small doesn't mean I don't pack a punch." He stalked off muttering something to himself too quietly for anyone to hear.
America stood up and stretched. "Alright, I think we're good for now. Now that you've met the original 13, we'll start with the other 38 tomorrow starting with D.C. despite the fact she's not older than some of the other states. Plus I don't feel like dealing with another one of her hissy fits."
"I DO NOT HAVE HISSY FITS!" they heard a female voice shout from backstage.
"YES YOU DO!" they heard what might as well be all 50 states reply.
"Anyway, go ahead and get better acquainted to the rest of the 13 you met today and do whatever and we can start them up again tomorrow. But no matter what you do, do not destroy anything, enough gets destroyed from the states already."
The nations nodded and went their separate ways for the rest of the day.
Alright, done with chapter 4. But like I said up top, I'm really sorry about not updating all week. There was softball, volleyball, tournaments, and just being dragged around everywhere. But I think I'm done with softball, it's not my sport and the girls on the team are a bunch of snot-nosed brats that I just can't deal with.
Translation: Irish- tu idiots- you idiots.
See you guys next chapter! Later!
