Yeah... I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this but don't hit me for it! I wrote it at like midnight so its a bit out there...

And yes this does reference another quite serious historical event so just a warning now.

Disclaimer: I really only own my state OCs and no actual countries are mentioned in this chapter but if we must get technical see chapter 2.

It happened the same way every single time the rare day came around, she had developed a routine for these days.

Number one; barricade all the doors and window that anyone or anything could possibly come through.

Number two; stock up on snack items and foods, enough for at least two days.

Three; repeat step one on bedroom door except with the addition of more booby traps and explosives.

Scratch that, no explosives, too much of a risk, they could accidentally be set off or-or could just totally break and not protect her as they are supposed and-and...

The Sunshine state took a deep breath as a panic attack begin to take hold of her, but it wasn't her fault that this day made her so paranoid.

If any of you had seen what the great state of Florida had seen you would be freaked out too. Yeah panic attacks were kind of a regular thing for her, all of her citizens scaring themselves silly in those amusement parks going to her head after a while, but this day- this cursed day was by far her worst moments.

Yes that's right.

Friday The Thirteenth.

She shuddered even thinking about the quickly approaching day, ONLY A FEW HOURS AWAY!

All her siblings said that Florida had never completely recovered from Apollo Thirteen but that wasn't true, she was fine. FLORIDA WAS COMPLETELY FINE! PERFECTLY CALM!

Oh wait, did she forget to mention she was hiding in a closet in her bedroom at the moment? Probably, the beach blonde's brain had been a bit preoccupied going over everything in her head for the billionth time to make sure she didn't forget anything.

The only problem? Florida had forgotten something, a single bathroom window just big enough for two usually rival states to slip through in attempt to further scar their sister.

"New York, are you sure this is a good idea?!" Called a black haired boy, naturally blonde, in a fancy business suite, which was so not made for this kind of stuff.

New York gave his nearly twin brother a of-course-I-know-its-good-idea-and-not-only-will-it-work-but-it'll-be-awesome look. A lot to say with a look he knows but he was the Big Apple, come on dudes seriously? He should sue the person who gave him the nickname. Especially since stupid Louisiana gave him suggestive, read prevented, looks every time someone used it! Gave him the willies it did.

The Big Apple ignored his brother's still doubtful looks and adjusted his heart shaped sunglasses and neon yellow fedora before continuing into the house.

"New Jersey you seriously just gotta relax, and get out of that boring business suit, no way in all things NEON is that comfortable," Jersey just rolled his amber eyes, his Italian blood showing through, and followed the shorter blonde.

Stopping in front of Florida's bedroom, they weren't stalkers they could just tell it was her room from the excessive number of Disney stickers clinging to the wood, New York contemplated what to do to make his sister really freaked out.

And then it hit him.

Oh he was sooo evil.

Clearing his throat and taking a deep breath the New York screamed at the top of his lungs, "APOLLO THIRTEEN READY TO LAUNCH... 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...BLAST OFF!"

A shrill scream could be heard through the door both states immediately started snickering, even New Jersey despite his slight embarrassment at the immatureness of it all.

New York nudged the other state's side, "Come on Jersey have some fun for once, Florida's so freaked right now she doesn't even know that the moon missions ended like a bagillion years ago." The usually loud state managed to whisper.

Jersey thought a moment then he grinned evilly, this would get the stupid Sunshine state for stealing his hair dye last month!

"HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" Another shriek of terror could be heard within the room as well as some shifting and a few crashes. The two devils couldn't help it and burst out laughing both somehow lost their balance and fell forward.

Straight into a trip wire...

A net appeared out of nowhere and scooped both boys off the ground, flinging them into the air and effectively trapping them.

New Jersey's 'Jersey Devil' personality began to glint in his eyes a bit as he glared at the New Yorker next to him, looking at his watch he realized they were now a minute into Friday the Thirteenth. It would still be another day before Florida emerged from her barricade.

Wow... now what they heck are they supposed to do?

The darker haired state voiced his question, "What are we supposed to do now York?"

New Jersey wasn't very excited by the evil look his brother was giving him, and the fact that he was slowly inching closer.

"Ya know Jersey, I think I got an idea of what we could do~" Jersey blinked, his amber eyes showing fear despite himself.

"What are you?- York get off- hey don't- get- but-"

Beeeeeeeeep...

*A day later*

Florida came out of her room completely normal. SHE WAS FINE OKAY?!

What she spotted hanging in front of her door was not something she saw everyday.

New Jersey, looking quite mentally scarred and in need of some good ole brain bleach, instantly began to plead with her to let him down while New York just sat back with a smug satisfied look on his face.

The day was never spoken of again and has become a repressed memory for all those involved.

Or has it?

New York chuckled evilly as he snuck into Jersey's house and turned on an old Apollo Thirteen documentary. To say the screams he heard from the building were not music to the states ears would have been a complete lie.

Oh yes he was quite evil.

Okay so nobody hit me but I've always pictured NY and NJ having a love hate relationship so that's what that's about.

To any New Yorkers out there please don't take offense by the way I make New York dress, it's just how I imagine a state with that much diversity to be like. He was rockin' the shades though.

Same to anybody from Florida, that's just my opinion on her.

Well till next time!

See Ya!
