Yes, I know. You all probably hate me for making you wait but at least I got it back up! Anyway, I'm planning on doing more than five states like I've been doing to make up for the wait. The pairing poll I set up in chapter 5 is still up and here's the pairings I have so far that are not changing:

possible NorBel (if I can try to get into their characters)

GerIta/ItaGer

Fruk

Possible Hawaii x Alaska

PruCan

I also might do some friendly AmeBel for one of the reviewers but because both have been called to separate couples they will not be together. Sorry to those who wanted the pairing. I also have no preferences to the type of pairing. Yaoi, yuri, FxM, I don't care, so suggest away.

Now onto the long awaited chapter and thanks go out to FadingEcho12193 and Time Traveler for putting your understanding of my absence in a review, it made me really happy!

I own nothing!

The countries had gotten up and gathered in the auditorium again, ready for another day of state introductions. They wondered how many of them were like America and how many were like one of their other parent. They remembered Pennsylvania and her outburst at England and her other personality who apologised for her other self's behavior. She really did take after her parents, even if it was in two different personalities.

They took their seats and waited for America to come, though they didn't expect him to some in covered in soot and ash.

"Sorry, there was an accident in the workshop so I went in to help the states. But they're ready now so here's the next state," he said as he sat down.

The state that came out was a male with long black hair pulled into a ponytail that layed on his shoulder and light purple eyes. He also seemed to have a small beard growing in, but it was mostly stubble. "Bonjor, I'm Illinois or Achille. I was the 21st state to join on December 3rd, 1818. As you can probably tell, France is my other parent."

Suddenly a brick came out from backstage and hit him in the back of the head, knocking him face first off the stage and landing in a scorpion position. The nations either winced or jumped slightly in their seats of surprise and shock. Achille got up groaning and rubbing the back of his head, "Hé! Ce que l'enfer!?" he shouted in french before charging backstage.

"Hey! No fighting!" America shortly followed behind to try and stop any upcoming fights. There was a lot of shouting before two loud 'OW's and a barely heard apology to the french state. America and Achille came out from behind stage with an ice pack on the back of Illinois's head. They sat down and America called for the next state.

The next state was again male, but a black male with short black hair held out of his face by a sweatband and light, almost amber, brown eyes. "¡Hola chicos y chicas, I'm Alabama or as the others call me, Alfonso. I joined on December 14th, 1819 as the 22nd state. Spain and France are my other parents." He walked down quietly and sat behind America, slightly nervous of the other countries.

But before they could dwell on it further, a girl with short brown-red hair with a purple-blue bow in it and light blue eyes skipped out. She seemed the picture of innocence, thought that view slightly changed when she opened her mouth. "I'm Maine or Audie," even her name seemed innocent, "and I ha- strongly dislike that garçon stupide Massachusetts. I became the 23rd state on March 15th, 1820. My parents are France and England."

Her parentage explained the personality, looks, and language. They could tell she would have said something else if it weren't for the look America had sent her. She stormed away backstage and the heard a door slam shut. America sighed, "Sorry, she doesn't really like new people. But she'll warm up eventually."

They nodded as the next state came jogging out. He had wild rusty brown hair (down to his shoulder) and brown eyes. He also, unlike most of the other states, seemed to have a bit of stubble on his chin. "I'm Missouri and my human name is Erardo. I became the 24th on August 10th, 1821. You can usually find me in the barn and my Spain and France are my other parents. I'll catch ya later!"

He ran off stage after giving his two other fathers a two finger salute; trading places with a blonde haired girl with blue-purple eyes. She seemed ready to go back out and play in the dirt though. "I'm Arkansas or Cierra as most call me. Please don't call me Ark though, it annoys the hell out of me. Anyway, I've been state 25 since June 15th 1836. I know it's a long year jump but I never had a high enough population until then. That's why there are such giant jump between dates sometimes, you had to have a certain population or you couldn't become a state and was stuck as a territory. My other two parents are also Spain and France. I'm gonna go to the greenhouse now."

With her gone another girl took her place. But she seemed to be a lot more conservative and quiet with her dark brown hair and equally dark eyes. "I'm Michigan. But most call me Esme, my human name. I joined as the 26th state on January 26th, 1837 and my other parent is France."

The countries were slightly surprised a daughter of France could be so quiet. But they were almost positive she could be a heartthrob if she wanted to. But they decided not to dwell on it as she sat next to France with a small smile on her face and as the next state came out. She was definitely her father's daughter with bright blonde hair in a high pony tail and blue eyes just a little lighter than the sky. Not to mention she seemed rather energetic.

"Hi! I'm Florida or Maisol, daughter of Spain! Hi Daddy!" She waved to the hispanic green-eyed nation with a cheerfulness she could only have gotten from him. "Anyway, as you can tell I'm the 27th state and I have been since March 3rd, 1845. I probably would have been a state sooner but my native put up a big fight. Hope we can have fun together!" She jumped to the seat next to Spain and was quickly given a hug and they started talking in fast spanish no one bothered to follow.

But they quieted when a state that looked like a copy of America but with brown hair, amber eyes, and no glasses. Not to mention he seemed ready for the rodeo and seemed to be covered in dust and dirt. "I'm, as you could probably guess, Texas! But you can call me by my human name Amelio or Tex, I don't really care. My other dad is Spain and I joined as the 28th state on December 29th, 1845. You won't find another bull rider better than me, except maybe Dad." Amelio sat down behind Spain, all three talking once again in fast spanish.

The next state was another girl with sandy hair and dark amber-brown eyes. "Hello, I'm Iowa or Dior, the 29th state to join on December 28th, 1846. My other parent is France. I have a question though, have any of you noticed how our names are from our parent's or one of our parents' countries? Dad made a point of it. None of us have a purely American name." As Dior sat next to France, she and her sister started talking to him about potential couples and how they could try and get them together in french that was quiet and quick so no one could hear it well enough or follow it.

Once again, a girl took the stage. she had light blonde hair that was held back by a thin headband that wrapped around her forehead with dark purple eyes. She seemed like a very gentle person. "Hello, my name is Wisconsin or Anjanette, daughter of France and England beside Dad. I'm the 30th state and joined as one on May 29th, 1848. I do hope we can get along well and that you can excuse some of my sibling's behaviors."

She went backstage instead of sitting next to her other parents and America stood up. "You know what I'm gonna say. Just remember, no property damage or it's coming out of your wallet. I'll see you here tomorrow!"

With that all the countries got up and stretched before going off in different directions. Some of the nations here sad they hadn't found any kids who were their kids but found some were still willing to talk to them about things anyway.

Done! I decided to introduce more as an apology for your wait. I hope you liked it and will continue to read and review. But did any of you notice what Iowa said about the names? I decided to look up names from the different countries to use and so far I'm liking the names I'm finding.

Ok, back on topic, either this chapter or next chapter will be the last chance to put in a pairing you'd like to see. I put a list at the top so you guys know who's taken. See you next chapter!
