 “Come here, come to Kartlos. Kartlos will make it better for you.” Kartlos told Flordia as he pulled the state into his arms. He pet the state's hair as if he were a poor innocent child. Georgia

“Ow!” the state complained as his former guardian snatched him roughly by a part of his body that didn’t agree to such handling. “María, don’t you know that hurts?”
At her hissed reprimand, Landon shook his head in emphatic negation. “I didn’t use any magic! I just used plain old sink water and some Western water tricks I learned from SMUD!” he exclaimed innocently.

The Rebellious Sophomore "That was the point, tonto." Luz Maria rolled her eyes "And that better be it." This state was one of the ones that gave her a hard time when they lived together. "Maybe you should head back to Rutilio. After all, h's your real family now. The only relation we have is by blood." She still hadn't gotten over them leaving, it really hurt her.

Landon halted his cheeky jibe when he heard his former sister’s last order. He had never particularly liked her bossing him around, but without her and Spain, the Californian wouldn’t have become the strong colony and state he had become. Maria had always been strong, even through her consistent defeat at the hands of America. To hear Maria disregard her pivotal role in his very making was very unlike her, and to be frank, it touched him. “Oye; pero sangre es más gruéso que aqua, sí?” he told her in faltering Spanish, having never had to say those words to her again. He had never expected he would have to refute his adopted relationship to America to his old sister before, and the strangeness of it all made the state feel rather awkward.
Mexico looked like she was about to cry. Uncertainly, Landon held his arms open for a hug, should she decide she needed one.

The Rebellious Sophomore "Maybe, but it doesn't work when family betrays family." She poked at his chest before leaving his sight. Mexi considered her other brothers family more than her former states. They may not be her blood relatives, but at least they'd never do that. They help her out time to time. Maybe making something would calm her. maybe she can make a nice little bandana. She grabbed some pieces of cloth and turned on the sewing machine. Estados Unidos Mexicanos

Landon just stood there with his arms stupidly hanging open, rejected and incredulous. Talk about unreadable…
“The point still stands!” he yelled after her. “You’re never truly going to be rid of me because of it!” With that, he stacked the last of the dishes into the closet and returned to Rutilio and Kartlos, who were still exchanging cheery compliments back and forth.
“Seriously!” he exclaimed. “Mexico makes no sense! I'm almost glad I left for the Union!” The last was uttered more quietly, though it lacked the force of sincerity of two periods ago.

The State of Florida
Rutilio Acosta Carriedo
Grade 10
The Sunny Sophomore!
Florida isn't so much a place
where one goes to reinvent oneself,
as it is a place where one goes
if one no longer wished to be found.
☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Florida finally dropped his dramatics hugging Kartlos when he heard his little brother return and pulled back to blink at California. He looked from Landon to Mexico and back before sighing.
"You two had another fight?" he asked. Those two were like oil and water sometimes. It was a little hard to watch and Rutilio was somewhat glad he'd missed whatever the dispute had been. The Floridian sighed. "You need to stop teasing her so much, si? You know she is sensitive when it comes to you, Tejas and Nuevo Mexico..." Hadn't Arizona been a separate colony back then, too? Honestly, Rutilio couldn't remember now but the Baby State had been so little back then there was a chance Arizona didn't remember living with Mexico anyway. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>
<> Florida has its own rhythm, too.
People go to work,
they watch their children learn and grow
and start families of their own.
They play in the sun and pass their lives
enjoying the outsized blessings
that make our state unique.

The Rebellious Sophomore The Mexican girl flipped the rowdy state off. She'd sometimes use anger to disguise the pain she was feeling. Seeing all her former states brought back so many memories of them living together. True, they were a handful, but she love them nonetheless. There were happy memories, and there were sad ones. Since then, she's lived alone. She wants to move on, but it's so hard when she's around them. Just let go, girl. No use looking back, you got to keep moving forward. Estados Unidos Mexicanos

California’s eyes widened in amazement at Florida’s obliviousness and at Mexico's unwarranted disdain. “Where were you, bro?” Landon exclaimed indignantly to the Gulf State. “I hadn’t said anything to her this time! All I did was tell Maria that I didn’t use anything special to wash the dishes so fast, and she suddenly ordered me to ‘go back to my real family’! Then I remind her that she raised me and would always be closer than any non-Hispanic state, and she goes huffing off like I did tease her! Mexico makes no sense!”

Kartlos dropped the act quickly almost making it seem like it never even happened, with the exception of the wink Kartlos sent towards Rutilio as they seperated. Apparently they had missed a whole argument between California and Mexico. Made Kartlos glad he wasn't in the same gradea as Russia, especially since it would be 100x worse than any argument between hispanics. Georgia

The Rebellious Sophomore Luz Maria sighed. She wished she were in the same grade as Maureen or Elizaveta, or her South American brothers. They might be able to cheer him up. She hadn't seen her Filipino sister, Chesa, in a while. Last she heard, she went back home to take care of some problems. "Wow... I really don't have many friends..." she mumbled to herself. It's pretty hard to make friends with someone who's so rebellious and angry almost all the time, but she can be fun when she wants to be. And she loves being fun. Would the Nordics consider her a friend? Maybe not, they only had to work together until her and Lukas's curse is broken, so the friendship may be temporary. Estados Unidos Mexicanos

Picardy
Shujinko Bonnefoy
The Trickster Sophomore Picardy had alreaady made some escargot and eaten them and still had some time left. While he ate he watched Mexico and California fight. When they were finished California ran off to his friends, however poor Mexico was all alone starting to sew. Picardy, feeling bad for the nation and also being alone, sat at the sewing machine next to Mexico. "Bonjour Mademoiselle. I'm Picardy." he said, holding a hand out to Mexico for her to shake. [Out.Of. Tricks: Bonjour Mademoiselle = Hello Miss // Felt so bad for Mexi I had to have someone do something! ]

The Rebellious Sophomore "Hm?" Mexi turned her head and noticed someone sitting next to her. Oh great, another Frenchy. Now hold on, not all French territories, former or not, are like Francis. heck, she was friends with Matthew. "Um, hola. I'm Mexico, but friends call me Mexi. Or Luz Maria, whatever floats your boat, ese." she shakes Picardy's hand. Estados Unidos Mexicanos

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ "I was cuddling my new Georgian," Florida said shamelessly when California asked him where he'd been. He had missed the whole argument, but he had a feeling it probably followed its usual pattern those two seemed to go down. Landon probably said something silly that annoyed Luz Maria and somehow scolding him had brought back old memories or something to that effect. Then it was downhill from there once Mexico got into one of her moods over the Mexican-American War.
"Hermanito, it might be hard for you to understand because you willingly went with America, but having family forcefully taken from you is... very painful," Florida said slowly as he tried to think of how to say this in a way the younger boy might understand. "It is something akin to... post traumatic stress? Si. That might be a good way to put it. Anything can trigger those painful feelings."
Rutilio could sympathize somewhat with Mexico considering he'd lost his entire family twice when he was taken from the Spanish Empire by both England then later by America. However, he hadn't been nearly as deeply connected to the other Spanish colonies as Mexico had been to her own former states so it was a bit different... Florida glanced over at his prima wondering if she would ever recover enough from her losses to appreciate the few times when her former states attempted to reach out to her. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>

The Trickster Sophomore Picardy could see in the girl's face the moment she turned around the same face that most made when they realized he was French. He smiled and tried to seem friendly and she seemed to realize that he wasn't just like France. They had their similarities, but really that were a lot different. "Pleasure to meet you Luz Maria." he said, shaking her hand. "So what are you making?"[Out.Of. Tricks: // ]
