"Hello everyone." Massachusetts said as he walked in the meeting room.
"Hello Mass-, Massuch-, um…, how do you pronounce your name again?" South Carolina asked sheepishly. Massachusetts sighed.
"It's Ma-ssa-chu-setts. How many times do I need to tell you?" Massachusetts huffed. "It's really not that hard to pronounce."
Massachusetts was the smartest of the 50 states. (Maybe it has something to do with all of those colleges there.) He was dark skinned, had short black hair, and wore glasses. He wore a plain white t-shirt and jeans. He usually spent his time hanging around Harvard.
"It is hard to say." North Carolina said.
"I don't have any trouble saying his name." Pennsylvania said with a shrug.
"Can we please stop talking about my name?" Massachusetts groaned.
"How about we call you Massy?" Delaware suggested happily.
"Hmm, I think that could work." Virginia said thoughtfully.
"It's easy to remember." New Jersey said nodding her head.
"And it's cute." Rhode Island giggled.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Massachusetts roared, making the other states jump.
"Massachusetts, you're starting to sound like Germany." Maryland said as she walked in.
Maryland was a nice looking girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was a bit short, with a young face. The richest of all the states, she managed all of the bank accounts for them. She wore a neat looking green blouse and white pants.
"New York, I need you to visit my office after the meeting is over." Maryland said as she walked to her seat. "You're getting a little crazy with the cash again."
"What do you mean?" New York asked angrily. "I'm still in budget!"
"Well, your phone bill says otherwise." Maryland said with a smirk as she handed New York a piece of paper. New York scanned over it, and her face went white. "I can't possibly owe you this much money! Dad is going to kill me!"
"Well, you are on it all the time." Georgia pointed out.
"Shut up!" New York snapped.
