A/N: I wondered if Nations were personified, why not the States and Nation Capitals and then State/Province Capitals? I featured my favourite and home state, Texas~ She's so adorable and a stereotype! : D I also love Big Sister Mexico!
"This is Annabelle." The little girl waved shyly at Matthew.
"Hello." Matthew smiled brightly and waved back at her then he turned to his brother again. "Are any of the other states personified?"
"All of 'em. What about your… er…"
"Provinces."
"Yeah! What about your provinces?"
"You've met them all before, Al. Don't you remember Nunavut? The little one?" Matthew placed his hand down by his hip.
"Oh yeah. She was the one who liked my fireworks on my birthday!" Alfred pushed Annabelle out from behind him. "Say hello to your Uncle Mattie."
"H-Hi Uncle Mattie." She had a southern accent with a slight southern belle twist. She had short pigtails that were braided and she wore a cowboy hat with matching cowboy boots.
"There! I dunno where the others are right now. They like to stay in their own states mostly." Alfred looked around his house. Texas likes to live with me though." He pet the girls hat.
"Are they the same age?"
"Nah. The original thirteen colonies are older, about fifteen. They stay to themselves and try to ignore everyone else. New York is bad at being friendly." Alfred chuckled at something he remembered. "Maine is kinda like you. He's long blonde hair and he loves Moose."
"I'll take that as a compliment for now. What about the others? Alaska and Hawaii?"
"Hawaii was the first one I found. She was surfing in Maui and you know who we have that link thing with other nations? Well, I felt the connection to her and she turned out to be Hawaii. Alaska is living in a tent in the forest right now. She's really woodsy."
"So she's the opposite of you, city boy."
Alfred cringed. "Yeah… California can be stuck up sometimes. She's not a snob, she just likes to be loud."
"Like you."
"Yeah! Li- Wait…" Alfred glared at his brother. "Anyways, Arizona and New Mexico get along with each other. Washington! God! Washington can be a drag. He's always gloomy. I blame the rain." Annabelle ran off out of the den to play. "Oregon and Idaho… They are weird… I dunno. All the States are weird so…"
"I get it, I get it. You don't have to list them all. But, what about D.C?"
Alfred jumped. "U-Uh.. About that… D.C. is kind of a baby right now. I don't really get that one. Since she's the capital I thought she would be the oldest, but she's a baby." Alfred scrunched up his face. "She has a burn mark on her back."
Matthew flinched. "S-Sorry…"
"Nah. I don't think she was alive when it happened so she just appeared with it." Alfred messed with the fluff on the couch. "Are everyone else's capitals personified?"
Matthew thought a moment. His was so who's to say every capital didn't have a personified person running around. "I-I'd call England and ask him." The thought of even more immortals running around the world was a bit uncomfortable. Matthew shuddered. What would Paris be like? Or London?
"Nah. I'll call sis. She probably knows. 'Sides, the last time I called England he was still gloating about the soccer match." Alfred pulled out his cell phone and dialed their sister, Mexico.
From where Matthew sat he could hear her pick up the phone. "Alfred? What do you need?"
"Mattie just wanted to know if your capital was personified." Matthew glared at Alfred.
"Mexico City? Yes. She's been around for a while now. Why does Matthew want to know?"
"He was wondering if all the capitals were personified. Do you know if England and France's are?"
The line was silent for a moment and Matthew leaned in closer. "I'm not sure about England and France, but I think I saw Spain's capital when I was little once."
Alfred thanked her and they said goodbye and hung up. He smiled widely at Matthew.
"You're a jackass, you know."
"Yup~"
Matthew glared at his brother until, "The States' capitals aren't personified are they?"
