AN: Yay new chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia. Just my OC's.
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma entered the dining room. It was thirty minutes till eight and they were the first to arrive. All three were exhausted and tired from the trip.
"I slept for about five hours and I'm still tiered." Texas said yawning.
"Me too." Louis agreed sitting down next to her.
"Well you both got a better sleep than me, that's for sure." Oklahoma said stretching his arms. For some reason when he had woken up he was on his floor.
"You just haven't woken up yet." All three of them turned towards the doorway to see Delaware walking towards them with a clipboard.
"Sorry to butt in on your conversation." Oklahoma smirked
"It wasn't much of a conversation to begin with, so it's fine."
"I'm glad I found your little hiding place, though, I'm surprised it took me so long. I've been searching for you guys for over twenty minutes."
"Ain't no one hiding." Texas said smiling.
"So why were you looking for us?" Louis asked.
"Well actually it was more you I was looking for."
"Oh."
"You see, this week I want everyone to sign up for a chore so the work is divided up equally."
"Oh so I choose from a list or…"
"Well, actually I wanted to ask you to sign up to be in charge of cooking and preparing the meals."
"Oh." Louisiana's face fell.
"Out of all of us you're the best cook and well…" Delaware said awkwardly, he motioned for the others to help him out.
"I never thought of myself as a chef" Texas looked over at Oklahoma, who understood and returned her gaze then turned to Delaware.
"It's better than most of the other jobs. Alright sign us up." Louis looked at both of them.
"You guys don't have to do this."
"You trying to get rid of us?"
"Oh Louis I'm so hurt, you don't want us there." Texas teased.
"If us not being there will make you happy then more reason to be there, we can't have you happy can we." Louis smiled as Oklahoma finished his sentence.
"Thanks guys." Oklahoma lightly hit him on the back of his head.
"Did you not hear what I just said? Jeez always thinking it's about you. We're doing this for our own benefit not yours."
Delaware smiled as the three began to laugh maybe this week wouldn't be so rough after all.
Arizona sat in his room staring at the wall. There was still fifteen minutes before the meeting and he planed on spending them alone. He started to think about the past couple of months when the door flew open.
"Sup dude?" Colorado yelled as he entered the room with his iPod at full volume.
"You ever heard of knocking? You can't just march into someone else's room with out there permission." Colorado took out his headphones.
"Did you say something dude I couldn't here you?"
"I said don't come into someone's room without their permission."
"I don't need an invitation." He jumped and landed next to him on the bed.
"Get out!"
"Come on don't be like that."
"Get out!"
"What's going on?" Utah asked as he entered the room.
"What are you doing here?"
"He texted me and said it was important." He pointed to Colorado who smiled.
"Yeah about that…I lied." Arizona frowned.
"Get out!"
"Why?"
"Get out! Both of you!"
"Why are you yelling at me he told me to come?" He pointed at Colorado again who quickly hid his phone.
"I don't care just get out."
"Did I miss anything?" New Mexico poked his head through the door.
"Alright the four corners are together again, now the party can officially begin." Colorado pumped his fist in the air. Arizona turned to Utah.
"How could you let this happen?"
"Hey I'm not his babysitter, maybe Wyoming or someone else but not me."
"Oh come on guys, New Mexico's not complaining." They all turned to the empty doorway.
"At least someone gets it." Arizona muttered.
"If you want us to leave fine, I'm out." Arizona watched Utah leaved then turned to Colorado.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Leave!"
"What?"
"GET OUT!"
"Fine I know when I'm not wanted." He got up to leave.
"Finally." Colorado stuck his head back in the room.
"Don't worry I'll save you a seat at the meeting."
"Please don't." Arizona shut the door and looked at his clock only ten minutes left. He sighed and sat back down on his bed. "Maybe now I can get some peace."
Tennessee put her guitar back in it's case and headed down stairs. She only had five minutes before the meeting began. When got to the dinning room table, there were already people in their seats waiting for the meeting to start. She looked at around the room before deciding to sit next to Florida, who was putting the finishing touches on her makeup.
"Hey." Florida jumped almost dropping her brush.
"Oh, Tennessee, don't sneak up on me like that."
"Sorry. So…you feeling better?"
"Yeah but there's still a lot things that need to be done to fix the damage the oil spill caused."
"Well remember we're all behind you a hundred percent."
"Thanks. So write any knew songs?"
"Tons." The two continued to chat as the room filled with more and more states. Then room suddenly went silent as Alfred entered the room.
"Alfred over here. You'll be sitting next to me." Delaware called at the other end of the table. As Al crossed the room, the conversations soon picked back up.
"What was that all about James?" America asked taking his seat. Delaware shrugged.
"We have two minutes before everyone's here. Though…" He looked around, only a handful were missing. "It looks like almost everyone's here."
The rest of the states soon arrived; Delaware waited for the conversations to die down and then stood up.
"Alright before I reveal what the activities are for this week I want everyone after the meeting to sign up for a chore. That way the work gets split up evenly. The sign up sheets is first come first served so I suggest you sign up soon." As soon as Delaware finished his sentence New York's hand shot up in the air.
"Yes New York?"
"Yeah no one cares just get on with the announcement."
"Fine." He flipped through the pages on his clipboard before finding what he was looking for. "For the first day I have planned some family bonding exercises. Day two a trip to a museum…." Most states groaned at the later statement. "Oh come on I had to plan something educational, any ways the next day I figured we could spend the day at home. Then…"
He paused he never got to finish planning since he took a trip down memory lane earlier. Pennsylvania looked over and noticed why he stopped talking; then he looked over at Alfred who was trying to get a glimpse at James's clipboard but was failing terribly. Will stood up and put one hand on Delaware's shoulder.
"The rest of this week will remain a secret till the day before so that way no one can back out right Delaware."
"Err… right. I don't think I forgot anything so…" Again New York's hand shot into the air.
"Yes New York?" Delaware didn't try to hide the annoyance in his voice.
"You forgot to mention the plan for our family baseball game."
"No I did not because there's not going to be one." New York stood up.
"I propose we have one then, all in favor?" he looked around the room for support and was surprised to see Massachusetts's hand go in the air.
"I propose New York sits down and shuts up." New York frowned. Rhode Island was the next to speak.
"I second the motion." New Jersey then spoke
"I third the motion." Massachusetts then smiled at New York.
"Majority rule so sit down and shut up."
"How is that majority?"
"It's the majority of those that are going to vote." Seeing how the argument was getting out of control Delaware decided to cut in.
"Both of you sit down." New York just stared at Massachusetts before finally sitting down. "Alright now I think this meeting is done get some rest and breakfast is at six o'clock sharp." Moans. "Activities start at seven. Would the kitchen crew like to say anything?" He motioned to them and immediately Oklahoma was the first to stand up, about to loss his temper.
"Yeah there is a lot of things I'd like to say, unfortunately I can't say them in front of Alfred the other thing is if you miss breakfast your on your own." Texas pulled him back in his seat. "That is all."
All the states went their separate ways, most to their room. Delaware being the last to leave thought about the rest of the week, he had a lot of planning to do. As he walked down the hall to his room he noticed Pennsylvania's door open. Inside William sat with a chessboard moving several of the pieces on both sides.
"Playing chess alone?" Pennsylvania looked up and smiled.
"You want to play?"
"No."
"…"
"You better get some rest I'm going to need you tomorrow."
"Yeah, yeah, so do think these activities will actually bring us closer together?"
"I don't know but we're all here so we might as well try." Delaware yawned. "Good night."
"Night."
As soon as William heard Delaware's door shut he picked up his chessboard and placed it on his desk, with out moving a single piece. Then shut his door and stared at the chessboard for a moment. There was so much to do and so little time to do it. He smiled thinking of what the last day was going to be like if every thing went as planned then it would all be worth it, even the consequences.
AN: More states yay! Next chapter will have more that haven't been mentioned yet. I have three more weeks of school and hopefully by the end of summer I'll have this story finished. I can't tell you when I'll update again, since I have starred the next chapter but it's nowhere close to done. Also the poll is still up if you want to vote.
