Alexei: Ms. Fruitstogether does not own Hetalia or the song Put your records on by Corinne Bailey Rae. She only owns the ability to procrastinate and create characters/stories.
Me: hahaha. That's very funny Alexei *runs away from angry readers*
"Okay guys!" Virginia called out to everyone. "We have to make a meal for about seventy people, so everyone is helping out. From making the table to baking the turkey, your job is important, so do it!" She said in the quiet dinning room. Alabama raised his hand waving it wildly as Missi and Georgia rocking themselves in their chairs. "Yes Bama?"
"Wha-" "WHAT ABOUT THE FOOTBALL GAMES!?" The two girls screamed getting a room full of groans and mutters from states that weren't doing to hot this year. "Which is more important: food or football?" Virginia asked the three states. "Football of course!" They chorused.
"Just go watch your games, but remember we're calling you in to make the pies." Texas said getting shouts of thank you as the three ran out of the room. "Does this happen every year?" Yukon grumbled under his breath. "Oh hush now, I wanna see how this goes!" Alberta said smacking his arm.
"Idaho you're in charge of mashed potatoes; Iowa, Illi, Nebra, and Minne your in charge of corn; Urie, Tex, and Penn fix the turkey while Ginny-"
"Don't call me that!"
"-makes the ham; North and South you're on dressing duty; Gon, Mass, Nova, Wash, and BC make us some cranberry sauce; Tario and Whiscon make the mac and cheese; Beck and Louise can you make the gravy; May and Cali make the rolls; and the rest, you can either stay out our way, help us, or make the table and do whatever you want. Pick now because we're cooking." Kansas announced to everyone.
Everyone that was cooking hurried to finish their food and put it in the sink. Some states went to do the dishes while others went to do stuff that didn't involve the kitchen. Virginia was just about to go in the kitchen but stopped. 'Cali's busy so...'
"Flo and Tenn, can you watch the kids while we cook?" Issa asked the two. "Sure!" Florida chirped out while Tennessee gave her a grin and a thumb up.
"Let's hope they stay alive." Isabella muttered as she dragged two Canadian states into the kitchen while the third Canadian walked behind them.
Statalia!~
The five walked into the screening room where the on-going football games were going to be shown for the next 24 hours. Alexei ran up and jumped on Ciara's lap causing the Mississippian to blink in surprise.
Aurora sat between Skylar and Aiden while Charo clung onto Brooke for dear life. "Yo." Aiden said while the other two nodded. Brooke sat down beside Ciara with little Charo in her lap while Sage sat right beside Aiden. [1]
"So who's playing?" Sam asked.
"Not us." Aiden sighed out.
"Mmh." Brooke mused. She started to play with Charo's medium length hair, getting the youngest in the room to relax. They sat in the tranquility the room gave, the three trying their best to pay attention to the game. There was screaming and yelling going on, sometimes having the occasional silence, in the kitchen causing the Charo to whimper softly. Brooke tried her best to calm her down but nothing was working.
Skylar stood up and left the screening room; only the southern states truly knowing what was about to go down. Aiden and Sam looked at each other, sweat pouring off their faces, Ciara tried her best to focus on the T.V., and Brooke did everything she could to keep Charo calm; Aurora and Alexi started poking Ciara, trying their best to get her to laugh but it wasn't working well.
"Trying ta get me to laugh, huh?" She smiled raising an eyebrow. The two started giggling yet continued their quest of trying to make her laugh. Ciara smiled and hugged the giggling Alexi by his waist. She then started to tickle his side getting the room to erupt with laughter. Aurora tried to escape the couch of impending doom but Sage caught her before she could start running. He started tickling her feet getting squeals of laughter and kicks from the ten year old.
"Noooooo, Ci-Ci! Stooop!" Alexi giggled in-between laughs. "What's the magic word?" Ciara smirked, seeing her brother dodge another kick. "Please?" He whined giving her his famous doe eyes. She sighed and ruffled his hair, letting out a soft chuckle. "We're done Sage. I think they learned their lesson. Papa told me what you two done, messing with his stuff." She said shaking her head in amusement. Sage stopped tickling Aurora's feet and sat her up right on the couch. He pretended to dust her off like a statue with a brush they had for Jackie[2].
The game was still playing but no one gave it any attention, all of them sitting in a circle from the couch to the floor. "Tell a story, Ci!" Alexi asked getting a gasp from Charo and Aurora. "Story time?!" Aurora beamed looking at the Mississippian. Charo sat up in Brooke's lap, her bright blue eyes shining in delight to hear a story. "Fine, fine but only one. I need to keep one form of entertainment beside singing."
Ciara cleared her voice in an over-dramatic way, getting four pairs of eyes to roll. "Okay so back in 1975...
Flashback~
"Papa, how's Maya?" Ciara asked walking beside Alfred. They were walking to one of the houses he owned in Alabama.
She was wearing a red and white poke a dot sweetheart dress with a red belt and white heels. Having to cut her hair because of the war, it was now starting to grow back long enough for her to do finger waves with it. She was probably the few states with minimum damage, only having a scar on her back from torpedoes.
"Mia[3] and Amber[4] is taking care of her but you need to rest. Even though you do have the ability of us nations, you still can be heavily injured." He explained to the worrying Mississippian. "But-"
"No buts Ciara. Were all worried for you guys so just stay at your sister Addie's house." He said making her whisper out a muffled yes sir. They made it to a big two-story brick house with a white porch and door. Addison was sitting crisscross on porch swing, reading a book. Her curly red hair covered her head and touched the book, dancing every time she turned the pages. She had on a blue shirt and brown pants on, her shoes most-likely inside her house.
"Addie!" Alfred called out making her head shoot up in surprise. Her indigo (or was it violet?) eyes widen when she him. "Oh!" She gasped and tried to stand up. She tripped over her foot and fell face up. Alfred ran up to her, helping her up, while Ciara slowly walked to the girl.
"Sorry, sorry." She blushed dusting herself off. She smiled at Ciara making her blush from embarrassment and look away. "C'mon in Papa and co! I don't bite!" She said ushering them inside. The house was fairly simple for someone living on their own except for the fact that Dylan, Chris, and Eli was slouching on her couch.
"You can stay here for now until you get better, right Ciara. We don't need another repeat of a few years ago right?" Alfred smiled, kneeling to reach her height. "… yeah." She mumbled looking away. "I'll visit in a few months Addie!" Al announced before leaving. His steps were the only sound heard in the room.
"Well, Ciara right? My name is Addison Jones and I'm your younger sister. You'll be staying at my house until you feel better so make yourself at home." Addison said smiling, holding out her head. Ciara stared at it not knowing what to do. Her face showed confusion and fear, not really knowing how to respond. Addison smile falter a little as she put her hand down. "Well! My house is your house so use anything you need!" She said before walking down the hallway, probably to her room.
"Hey little Missi." Chris said waving to her. "... hey." She muttered. Ciara waved to the other two and walked out of the room. She walked into her kitchen and slid down to the ground. She laid like that for a while before standing up. Going to the sink, Ciara started to try and make something to make her homesickness and nervousness go away.
XxXxXx
Addison, Dylan, Eli, and Chris walked into the chocolate smelling kitchen and saw Ciara sleeping on the table. They looked beside her and saw chocolate pies with ice cream all on the other half of the table. They stared at the pies on the table wondering what to do with them.
Addison grabbed some plates, forks, and a knife holding up enough for five people. Dylan grabbed the knife as everyone sat down and was handed a fork and plate. He cut five slices from one of the pies and placed it on everyone's plate.
Ciara woke up to the clanks from forks touching plates. There was noises coming from somewhere in the room causing her to groan and rub her eyes. She looked up and saw the quartet eating all of her pies except for one. "W-what's going on?" She asked looking around. "We were looking for you since you went missing for quite sometime and found you in her with some pies, right?" Eli explained using his fork to point at the last pie. "Yeah. I just came up with 'em." She said rubbing her arm. "Sorry for using your stuff; I-"
"Don't worry about it!" Addison said waving the apology off. "These are delicious, though. Sweet just like you!" She gushed at the girl. "What are you going to call them, Ciara?" Dylan asked cutting her a slice. "A Mississippi mud pie!" She exclaimed getting blank looks from the four which made her blush and look away.
"…Why?" The all asked. "Because this pies remind me of home back in the old days." She explained, smiling proudly.
End flashback~
"... And that's how the Mississippi mud pie was made!" Ciara concluded. She stood up and stretched heading to the kitchen along with Aiden and Sage, leaving Brooke alone with three hyperactive kids.
A few hours later~
Everyone was sitting at the table in order by the first to signed in the Constitution. Matthew and Alfred had to sit between France and England to make sure there was no fights between the two. Everybody held everyone's hand starting from Delaware holding Frances to Virgin Islands holding England. Everyone's eyes were closed except for England's and France's both not knowing what to do.
"Dear Lord, thank you for the food we are about to eat. Thank you also for," Alfred said before taking a long deep breath. He then began to list all of the states, Providences, US/Canadian owned property and two nations. "Amen." He wheezed out.
"Amen." They chorused.
They all began the feast, eating the prepared food each person is famous for. After stopping two attempts of food fights, three attempts of fires, a nation from being thrown up on by Charo, and a few fight over last slices of deserts; Alfred and Matthew ushered their 'parents' back home.
They all went out to the 'backyard' to watch the stars and play. Mississippi and Louisiana were strumming their guitar while Kentucky strummed her banjo; Maya was sitting between Louise and Ken playing her ukulele. Alexi walked up to the two and sat: by Missi. "Thank you for today." He said smiling at her. She nodded at him before starting to play a song.
"Three little birds sat on my window
And told me I don't need to worry…"
