Ch. 2 – West the Mountaineer!

"I think we might have opened the doors of Hell." Canada commented to his brother as Germany finished talking. It was a G8 meeting in New York after the 'Great Reveal' as they had started to call it in Ottawa.

"I think you may be right."

"Hey, Dad."

"Hey West; what's up?" America said suddenly as he looked to the opened door.

The Nations turned, and paled, or in England's case gawk.

There at the door stood a mini England who looked to be around fourteen or fifteen right down to the green eyes and thick brows, although a bit skinnier and wearing red framed glasses. He was wearing a dark green jacket with a white star on one shoulder, and his state flag on the other, with denim jeans and boots. He also had a small pick-axe hanging onto the satchel at his waist.

"Mass asked me to deliver his report on the new education standards the Department was working on. He would have delivered it himself but he had to get to campus early." 'West' said taking a pile of files from his bag.

"That's right…his class start their winter finals today." America laughed as he took the files. "Why not send Connecticut?"

"I don't know, he's ding something with his computer."

'West' paused and grinned at the nations (many gawked because it was an America like grin). "S'up? I'm Arthur Jones, the state of West Virginia, but you can call me West."

England squeaked in shock. Japan and France looked between America and England with some very suggestive looks.

West then suddenly had a coughing fit. America patted his back until it was over. Some of the Nations gasped in shock as a trickle of blood seeped from the State's mouth through his fingers.

"Are you alright?" America asked handing him a bottle of water.

"Thanks Dad. One of the main coal lines had a mini tremor there." West gasped as he took out an asthma inhaler from his satchel and took a puff. He winced as America stared at him with concern.

"Shouldn't you take him took a doctor?" Japan asked with concern.

West flinched at the word 'doctor'.

"West, have you gone to see Carol for your check up this week?"

West looked embarrassed. "No."

"West…"

"I hate doctors." West muttered with a blush of embarrassment on his cheeks.

"Would you rather collapse again when you have another earthquake?" America said in an agitated voice. They obviously had this conversation before.

The two had a staring contest with bolts of nervous tension flying between them before West gave in.

"Fine…I'll go have my checkup later."

"I'm holding you up to that or else I will get Gin to drag you down to see Carol and Mary."

West pouted.

The G8 (minus Canada) were in silent shock at America's seriousness with his State/son. He was acting like a proper adult and role model parent. England though was slightly comatose at the fact that this state looked like him but acted like America.

"Don't you guys have a meeting today?" Canada asked suddenly making several nations jump.

"I left so I could give Dad the files. They should be finishing up now."

Suddenly there was a loud commotion followed by several voices screaming from down the hall.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP! THIS MEETING IS NOT OVER YET!" shouted a familiar sounding voice from down the hall.

"Ve…Germany did you clone yourself?"

"Nein."

"Actually that sounded like Wisconsin." West commented.

"PASTA~!" called out a feminine voice.

"NEBRASKA GET BACK HERE!"

"And of course Nebraska isn't far behind him." America pointed out.

Several Nations shuddered at the thought of a miniature Italy and Germany in existence.

"Oh! Dad, guess what! I finally figured out how to take on my Revolution Angel form~!" West said enthusiastically.

England's brain nearly shut down then.

'Revolution Angel? Is that like my Britannia Angel form?'

"Does it still involve underage drinking?"

"Nope!"

"Oh good!" America said with a wave as his son left.

Brief State Bios!

West Virginia – Arthur II JonesBirthday: June 20th

History –Was originally part of the Commonwealth of Virginia before succeeding in 1861 because the Western Virginia citizens did not want to be part of the Confederacy during the Civil War. He then became a state June 20th, 1863.

Arthur was initially found by America during the Civil War and hidden along with the borderland States who did not pick sides. While Arthur cannot use magic like his sister Virginia he has the ability to take on the form of 'Britannia Angel' (He is dressed like a young Victorian British noble instead of a toga) or as he dubbed it 'Revolution Angel' almost instantly, originally could only transform if drunk. Often has a severe asthma attack or passes out when a coal shaft collapses or his state suffers from an earthquake. While his relationship with his sister Virginia is strained due to his secession she often takes care of him when he has an attack.

America apparently named him after England because West really like the story of King Arthur as a child.
