Author's Note- Well everyone, here is the very last of the stories in this series. During it we will be returning to the Library of Congress and the chaos that certain states can cause when they are in the vicinity of it. But before we get to that I would like to give a shout out to Trollo and Saoirsewolf for the love reviews.

Asteroids
Their meetings had been canceled again, and now the group of states who had stated interests in America's space programs where stuck in Washington D.C. with nothing to do.
"I'm bored…" Texas whined.
"You're always bored." California didn't even look up from his iPad as he collected energy from his virtual starships.
"There has got to be something productive that we can do." Texas fingers drummed on the table. "I mean we just flew halfway across the country for this meeting
"We could play solitaire?" Maryland suggested. "Or maybe slamwich?"
"Both of those are so boring." Ohio countered. "Come on, we are some of the smartest states that America has. We have to figure out something to entertain ourselves!"
"We could get lunch." Alabama suggested.
"We only got breakfast 45 minutes ago." Maryland reminded everyone as the slouched in their chair.
"Well, I think I figured out how we could play Asteroids." Florida looked like the cat that had just swallowed the canary. The state began explaining the rules of their version of the game and it didn't take long for a mischievous glint to enter all of the states eyes.
Partway through a particularly boring session of the World Counsel Japan got a message marked urgent from Hokkaido. Concerned he immediately opened the email, only to find a link to a youtube video. The nation opened it and nearly blurted out some very unprofessional words in front of the group.
"Japan, is there something that you would like to share with the rest of the room?"
The Asian nation paused staring at his computer for a moment. "I think I may have a video that America-san really needs to see."
"Is it classified?" Prussia asked a gleam in his eyes.
"No…"
"You might as well spill the beans and put it up on the projector." South Korea grinned.
It didn't take long for a few of the nations to wrestle the computer away from Japan and connect it to the large screen at the front of the room. One of them pushed play and a youtube video sprang to life. At first the camera was slightly blurry as a group of three states armed with paintball guns and laying face up on skateboards, sat poised at the bottom of the Library of Congress. Then a pair of states at the top of one of the balconies started throwing balloons over the side. It took less than a minute for the side of the build as well as all of the states involved to be a very colorful mess. It didn't take much longer for the who group to be sprinting across the lawn trying to escape library security. As the group jumped into a waiting SUV the video cut to black.
"That was totally awesome." Prussia was practically salivating. "We totally need to schedule this as an activity for our next meeting."
"No." Germany said flatly.
"But…" The albino started.
"Please say that we can get this thing off the web." America cut him off practically pleading.
"The video has only been online for three hours and it already has forty thousand views. In all likelihood it is going to go viral worldwide by this afternoon." Japan explained, but stopped when the North American superpower suddenly stood, stuffed his papers into his briefcase and made a beeline towards the door.
"I am so grounding them." Was the last thing the world counsel heard America mutter as he stomped off down the hall.
"Well," England said after a pregnant pause, "shall we get back to our meeting? Issues of overfishing aren't going to solve themselves."
End Note-That's a wrap folks. I really want to thank everyone for reading an enjoying this series of short stories. It was a whole lot of fun to produce. I know that some of these stories have made people laugh and others have made people think, some have showed how similar the people are across the United States of America and others pointed out the diversity in the US of A, and still others made a lot of people just cock their heads to the side in confusion. It has been a lot of fun writing this series and it is kind of sad to see this collection of one shots end, still everything must end. But when one story ends another begins. You are welcome to join me on some of the other adventures that I have been working on my author's page. Many of the friends (aka states) that you have gotten to know here often make cameos in my other Hetalia work. But most of all thanks a million for reading and enjoying this story.
