"Hey, Tennessee~" Called a voice that was better used for flirting than small talk, making Leslie groan in a 'I'm your sister, you annoy me' way that made Louisiana laugh. Out of all her siblings she was probably only really close to two of them, Louisiana and North Carolina and in return- though she wished they weren't- they both were overly protective of her. Especially around guys, if she went on a date they usually ended up chasing him away before they stepped out the door which is why she didn't date any more. And they barely let her get involved in any fights anymore, the strawberry blonde used to have a rough and tumble everyday, maybe two if a good day, but since they had all gotten closer and started hanging out Leslie had to get a rein on her temper.
Grinning at her slightly taller sibling she huffed, "What do you want Guillaume? Run out of girls to flirt with?" She laughed at the startled look on his face before the blonde glared at her. Leslie couldn't help but admire the way her brother could work himself out of any situation with a few well place compliments and meaningful glances. Or not so meaningful glances, because even though Guillaume was a HUGE flirt, Tennessee knew that there was someone he cared about in his life already. She just didn't know who... yet.
Louisiana scoffed and folded his arms over his chest in indignation, "Even if there were no more woman on the earth there are still men, I will never run out of people to enjoy my presence!" He proclaimed loudly, scaring some birds into flight as they walked out to the back yard. "Anyway look what I found!~" He spoke excitedly and it was just then that Tennessee realized he had something in his hands, when he let her take it from him the strawberry blonde blinked in confusion, grey-blue eyes sparkling with curiosity. It was a small framed painting- from what Leslie could tell it was fairly old- it showed two people, a haggard old man in complete pirate garbs, she knew this man to be Blackbeard from when her father had begun warning all of them to steer clear. They other man was significantly younger in appearance, with dark blonde hair that hung messily into his caramel brown eyes and a goofy grin.
The shorter woman looked at her sibling, knowing that she was looking at something important but not sure exactly what, "What is it?" She questioned, watching as the other man rolled his dark green eyes.
"Do you really not recognize anyone in that picture?" He asked, making a face like the answer she be as obvious as her own name, "Come Leslie, look really close at the younger guy..." he urged making a motion to look closer with his hands.
Tennessee stared at the picture a moment more, taking in the man's features something twinged in the back of her head and called her stupid for not knowing who this was but for some reason she just kept drawing a blank. Until she looked up and spotted North Carolina walking towards them with an unreadable expression, her grey-blue eyes widened in shock as she looked from the picture to the blonde that was walking towards her. "Holy... I-" Leslie couldn't find any words to describe her shock, the one person who had always yelled at her for fighting had once been a freaking pirate!
Louisiana looked smug, "See? Can you believe he never told us?" He whispered, though he had gone to stand a little behind the smaller state, obviously afraid of the rather he would face when their brother found out that he had 'borrowed' a picture that revealed his biggest secret.
But before either could blink North had Tennessee flung over his shoulder and was waltzing away like nothing had happened, completely ignoring the yelps and screams of fury that were now coming from the girl. Louisiana gaped at the two like a fish out of water, "Close your mouth Guillaume," the New England state shouted back at the startled blonde, "It's good to be a pirate." He murmured to himself, the pounding on his back having no effect on his gripe.
When the two lovebirds were out of sight Louisiana dropped his faux expression of surprise and grinned, there was a reason that nobody messed with him and it wasn't just his voodoo.
Matchmaking North and Tennessee Session 1: Success.
Yes! Another chapter down and out! This chapter was written at the request of Dixie C Jones, I hope it was okay and don't worry I'll be back with more of these two eventually!
And HA I did not lie! I told you there would be Louisiana and there he was! Now I just wonder who that mystery girl or boyfriend of his is... hmm... even I don't know!
So please feel free to tell me what you think and request your state to be seen if they haven't yet! Also I was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to draw me a cover, because this the only story of mine I can't find one for and it's bugging me.
TILL NEXT LESS PLOTLESS CHAPTER WHICH WILL PROBABLY IN SOME WAY INVOLVE NEW JERSEY AND YORK OR MICHIGAN AND OHIO!
