Author's Note-Hi everyone. While the east coast is being hammered by frigid weather, the west has been plagued by drought. As a result there have been a lot of meetings lately about water allocations along the Colorado River. This precious resources is split between seven states and when ever water years are low these states really don't get along…which means I could resist writing a piece about them. But before we get to the bickering a quick shout out to espurrrussia, AmeBel is my Life, IndianaFerbDragon, and Daffodil Moon. I totally agree with you all that it would take significantly more than ice cream to successfully bribe a state.

Like in any family, every state had a distinct personality. Some states like North Dakota and West Virginia were shy. Others like such as New Jersey and Texas were particularly, well, loud. Some states like Georgia and Louisiana enjoyed leading the pack. Others, Alaska and Hawaii in particular, struggled to fit in with the rest of the Union. America had to admit that his nation was made stronger by the contribution that each and every state made to the whole, but he also had to admit that the unique blend of personalities tended to sometimes cause some major arguments. The particular argument that was currently consuming America's attention erupted in a regional meeting to discuss this year's water allotments along the Colorado River.

"What exactly is the problem?" California said with a wave of his hand. "After all, Oklahoma has been predicting that the Rocky Mountain States are going to have an unusually wet spring. Hopefully we will get enough moister from rain and we won't have to worry about rationing water this year."

"Clearly you don't understand the problem." Wyoming sighed. "In order to have good water flow in the Colorado River year round we are going to need a good snow pack.

"We are not allowed to keep the water in the upland dams because we have to keep Hoover and Powell high enough to produce electricity and meet the downstream needs." Utah sighed. "Colorado we know that you have an opinion. Would you please speak up in defense of your fellow headwater states?"

"Dude you should totally just chill." Colorado mumbled his attention clearly elsewhere.

"Colorado are you high?" Utah glared at her neighbor.

"I would let you know that I have my full focus on this meeting." Colorado motioned with one of his hands, then looked down at his iPad for a few moments in confusion. "Rats, my bubble got eaten again."

"You are high aren't you? If this is the only reason that you volunteered to host this meeting because if it was, I'm going to have to insist that we hold the next meeting in Salt Lake."

"Now you all know what I always have to put up with." Nevada said with an eye roll.

"I heard that." Utah turned her attention on her other neighbor. She opened her mouth to say something more, but America interrupted her.

"Colorado, we have already had the drug discussion." America said firmly.

"What? You've done it before?" The Centennial State shot back.

"That was at Woodstock and it was the sixties." The nation had to fight back an embarrassed blush.

"And right now it is 2014," Colorado shrugged, "and my voters voted on it and said it was perfectly okay as long as you were over 21 and I am way, like a hundred years, over 21."

"Chronological." Arizona muttered under her breath. "Biologically is another story."

"Can we get back to this meeting? I actually need to know how much water is going to be coming down the pipe before I start planting the spring crop." New Mexico through up their hands in exasperation.

"In a moment, honey." America tried to placate the desert state before turning back to Colorado, but Utah had beat him to the punch and was already chewing him out. At this point the once orderly discussion had completely dissolved into chaos.

"You know what why don't we all take a few moments and clear our heads." America slammed his hands on the table which finally got everyone to shut up. "Go get a drink, take a quick walk, grab a quick snack, Just Stop Arguing. We will meet back here in 30 minutes all in a better mood and in full control of their facilities." The nation focused the last point of his statement squarely on Colorado.

It was surprising how quickly the states managed to vacate the room. Arizona and New Mexico were clearly making a beeline for coffee, while Utah stocked off to get some air with Wyoming on her heals trying to calm her down. Nevada somehow managed to sneak out sometime which meant that California and Colorado were the last states to leave the conference room.

"So." California sidled over to his brother as soon as they were in the hall. "I hear that in your state it is legal to gift up to one ounce of cannabis to someone else who happens to be over 21. Would you be up for hooking a bro up?"

Unfortunately for the two of them, they had been over heard. Before Rocky Mountain State had an opportunity to answer they heard someone loudly clear their throat behind them. They turned to see a less than pleased America.

"Colorado, don't you even dare think about it."

End Note- Well, that had a lot less of the app than I had originally intended when I started the short but that is okay. Also lots of bad examples in this post. Don't follow them. Also, I think I will be heading east for the next chappy. I think I have finally figured out how to write one of the requests.
