AN: Next chapter should introduce more states. I start school tomorrow so I won't update again for about a week.
Now let me introduce Cal Jones a.k.a. California and James Kirkland Jones a.k.a. Delaware. I'll talk more about them at the end of the chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia. Just my OC's.
William stood at the sink, he was almost done washing the dishes. Somehow he was able to convince Alfred to eat a homemade breakfast instead of going to McDonalds. Now he was paying for it, Al only agreed if Penn promised to do the dishes. The night before Alfred had decided that they would have ice cream for dinner, which was the worst idea ever. Now Will felt sick even thinking about it, he had way too much last night. Alfred on the other hand had twice as much and felt great. Who ever was going to be in charge of dinner next week better be a good cook. He was not going to settle for fast food.
"Hey kido." Alfred cheered as he entered the room. Great, he had only called Alfred dad less than twenty-four hours ago and now he was seen as a ten year old. He was almost the same age as Alfred for crying out loud. He took a deep breath and calmed down it was going to be worth it. He smiled thinking about the week to come, yes, it was going to be worth it. All he had to do was play his cards right.
"WIILLIIAAM? What's with you, why do you keep staring of into space?"
"I…uh…I'm just excited about this whole thing you know." Not a total lie he was looking forward to it just for a different reason than Alfred thought.
"I'm glad your looking forward to spending time with your brothers and sisters. Oh by the way, what time is it?" William looked at his phone.
"About eight. Why?" He soon found his answer when the doorbell rang. As soon as Alfred opened the door, William frowned.
Standing on the other side of the door was blonde haired teen about sixteen maybe seventeen. His eyes were mainly blue with a hint of green in them. He wore a black suit and had matching shades on his head. Behind him was three large suitcases and one small one. In one hand he had a coffee and in the other he had a McDonalds bag. This was none other than Cal Jones also known as the state of California, the golden state.
"Cal I'm glad you're here but what's with the suit?" Alfred asked still scanning his son.
"I told you dad I'm partly here for business and I need to look my best." He adjusted his tie. As for Alfred he lost him as soon as he said the word dad. He had the biggest smile on his face it was obvious he liked being called dad. William continued to frown seriously was Alfred going to do this every time some one said that word.
"Oh I almost forgot this is for you." He handed him the McDonalds bag containing all of Alfred's favorites.
William rolled his eyes of course he would bring Alfred McDonalds and what was with that grin of his. There was no way he could be happy about this he knew he had somthing planned, but what.
"Could one of you help me with my bags?" Alfred grabbed two while Penn took the one closes to him leaving the smallest one for Cal.
"You sure packed a lot Cal." William said eyeing California who still had that grin on his face, which just made him more suspicious of his brother.
"That's because half of it is for business." They stopped in front of Cal's room. "Thanks for helping me with my stuff, I'm just going to unpack then I'll meet you guys down stairs." He took out his key and unlocked his door. Every state was given a key that went to there room this was so they could have privacy. No one could enter some one else's room with out that person's key. Of course Alfred had keys to every ones room but he kept them hidden.
Once Alfred and William got down stairs the phone rang. William took a seat on the couch as Alfred picked up the phone. Still trying to figure what California was planning until he heard Alfred yell with excitement something to do with an airport. Just then Cal came down stairs he must have heard Alfred and wanted to see what was wrong.
Alfred hung up the phone smiling at his two states. "That was Delaware he just arrived and I'm going to go pick him up at the airport. I'm also going to put my plan into action."
"What plan?"
"Alfred is trying to get Del to call him dad." William replied getting up from the couch. Cal turned to his father.
"He should call you dad. He couldn't ask for a better one any ways." This only made Alfred happier as he rushed around looking for his car keys.
"Your key's are on the table."
"Oh thanks William, well bye." William walked over to the window and watch as his father drove away. Once he was sure Alfred was gone he turned back to California who still had that stupid grin on his face.
"So Alfred sure seems happy wouldn't you agree Will?"
"Alfred's gone, so drop the act." Cal stood across from Will smiling.
"Although I do enjoy acting, I've never acted any different around Alfred." Will rolled his eyes, right so what happened at the last meeting was all in his imagination.
"Don't play innocent because we both know your not, and stop smiling like that it creepy."
"I'm sorry you feel that way, William" Cal said with a sad look on his face.
"No your not."
"Your right." Cal said now smiling again.
"So would you like to tell me what you're planning?" He knew the only reason California would be happy about this up coming week was if he had something planned. It normally would be fine if he was looking forward to it but after there last meeting he knew it only meant trouble.
"You'll just have to wait like everyone else." He wasn't even going to deny that he had something planned.
"Do you plan on ruining Alfred's little family reunion?"
"It won't involve you so don't worry." Cal turned to leave only to be stop by Will who had his hand on his shoulder. California turned around to face his brother.
"You disappointed me with your last performance."
"That wasn't my fault and you know it. I'll admit last time I did a poor job casting but this time is different." He had a serious expression on his face he meant what he said.
"Then I better be entertained you know I hate to be bored."
"Of course, what kind of entertainer would I be if I didn't put on my best show?" Will continued to frown at his brother.
"What do you have planned for Alfred?"
"You'll see when are little show starts." Cal's smile turned into a frown." And this time pleased don't interfere." This time it was William's turn to smile.
"I make no promises." Any time William got bored he would try to stir things. He didn't care if it mess with some one else's plan, he'd do just about any thing to relive his boredom. His face turned serious. "You know there are forty eight states I could have ask to do this, but I chose you. If you can't pull this off then I'll find some one who can."
"I see you didn't include your self. Can you not pull off something so simple?"
"You know I prefer to watch from the side lines and interfere when I feel it's necessary."
"You didn't tell any one else about are little plan did you?"
"No. I didn't want anyone to pull a hero and ruin it. That means you can't tell anyone either, not even Texas." Even though they were apart of America's family now some of the states had "full siblings." They were a bit closer to there full siblings than they were to the other states. Cal was protective of Texas, she would always offer help and was friendly to every one, even strangers. The only time she wasn't nice is if you gave her a reason or if you hurt one of her friends. She didn't need his protection she was tough. You rarely saw her with out her gun and the kid never missed when she shot. But Cal was just an overprotective brother when it came to her.
"I won't, but did you do what I asked? I think Delaware is a bit suspicious of me and..."
"Don't worry Alfred will keep him busy."
Delaware stood outside the airport waiting for Alfred to come pick him up. What was taking so long he called him over thirty minutes ago and yet some how he was't surprised. Alfred was irresponsible and almost never thought ahead. This week was going to be a mess he just knew it. Just then he saw Alfred running towards him, it was about time but where was his car?
"Hey James, I've been looking for you. I'm sorry I'm late but I got you something" He handed James a green shirt. "Ok now put it on."
Delaware examined the shirt before he hurled it at Alfred. The front of the shirt read I have the best dad. He even got me this shirt. He thought they had settled this last time.
"Alfred this is just childish so please respect my views I see you as a brother not as a father. There is nothing you can do to change that. Now where did you park the car?" James asked looking for Al's car. He turned his attention back to Alfred who was staring off into space and probably hadn't heard a word he said. "Alfred."
"Huh, oh don't worry I'm listening." He obviously wasn't.
"Alfred pay attention, where did you park the car?"
"Oh I parked in front of a coffee shop." James looked around but didn't see any coffee shop.
"I don't see a coffee shop."
"That's because it's two streets over."
"WHY DID YOU PARK SO FAR AWAY?"
"Well I thought we could just walk to the car and talk about stuff. Are you sure you don't want to wear the shirt I got you, it's pretty awesome."
"Then give it Nebraska or someone who sees you as a dad." James grabbed his luggage and head down the street.
"Aw come on I'm a great dad and I'm going to be even better after the end of the week." He said following James down the street.
"That reminds me do you even have anything planned for us."
"Nope I figured I'd make it up along the way." Of corse.
"Well lucky for you I have every thing planned out. Tomorrow everyone will sign up for a chore that there going to be in charge of the whole week. Now the first thing we're going to do as a family is…Alfred?" he stopped to see Alfred was no longer behind him.
"HEY, JAMES THE CAR'S BACK HERE." Alfred yelled, waving at James who had walked five stores down. When he finally reached the car Alfred was gone again. Where did he go this time?
Just then he saw Alfred walking towards him with a McDonalds bag in his hand. What the…
"You couldn't wait until I got here to go get something to eat?"
"Don't worry I got you a kids meal it even came with a toy."
"I'm not a KID. I'm almost as old as you."
"Then you don't want the toy?"
"NO!"
"Then can I have it?"
James groaned as he got in the car, only one week, he would only have to take this for one week. He turned to Alfred who was playing with the little toy. Alfred was more of a kid then a father, which would never change. And like a child he only saw the best in people. If he wasn't careful this week could blow up in his face. James had his suspicions and made a promise to him self that he would look out for Alfred this week. He knew California had something planned and that Pennsylvania might be in on it. What ever they had planned it would not interfere with the family reunion, he would make sure of it.
AN: In case you're confused Pennsylvania asked California to plan something interesting to happen during the coming week. But California didn't tell him what he had planned or who was in it. Delaware is on to them and is trying to look out for Alfred and his family. Next chapter should have more states.
About Delaware: He takes more after Arthur than he does Alfred. As for California: he can be very devious and manipulative. He is very good with technology and a lot of other things. Sorry the descriptions are short this time.
