50 Kids In Need

Grand Canyon Collision, Arizona

(I'm so sorry, this is the worst one I could find for Arizona.)

Third Person POV

June 30, 1956

     It started out as a normal day, as normal as that can be while still slightly recovering from war and being in a house of 53(That's made up of 48 states, 1 district, 4 territories.). Massachusetts and Maryland were in the kitchen along with California, who had, without Alfred's permission, gone in to get some food. He had then managed to start a very small fire. His siblings don't believe he understands how lucky he is that they found him, and not their father. 

     The Dakota twins and Kansas were in the common room. North was being forced to listen to his brothers fight over who is truly the bigger state by land. The poor boy was sitting on the couch trying his best to tune them out, although he successfully failed at doing so.

     Alfred was with his more southern and southwestern state out in the back yard. Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas were all fighting over who had the hottest days in the year so far. Alabama was 'playing' with Florida, both of which held loaded rifles, while Georgia and South Carolina did their best to calm them down. Alfred, along with Oklahoma, was watching Arkansas chase Tennessee around with handcuffs for purposely mispronouncing his name.

     "My siblings are imbeciles. Imbeciles dad," Oklahoma state bluntly while gesturing in their general direction. 

     "And yet you're on the younger side of them all," Alfred said tilting his head towards his daughter, "I gotta say, for your age, your pretty dang  mature."

     Oklahoma smiled at the compliment, leaning in to her father, "Do you think anything exciting will happen?"

     Alfred stared at her for a moment. She didn't really seem like the type to want things to happen. She was one of his most down to Earth kids, "What makes you ask sweetheart?"

     "Today has just been one of those days, you know? Everything is almost the same as it has been for the past week, I'm even willing to bet getting grounded that Dela has overworked himself with the other thirteen."

     "That's a mighty big bet your placing there sugar, you really sure you wanna risk it?"

     "Yes, in fact, throw in my kitchen privileges."

     "You don't have any?"

     Oklahoma turned to her father with a slight smirk, "I might not, but Cali does."

     "Oh sh*t!" Alfred sat up immediately, "Texas! Go find California! Make sure he hasn't set fire to anything!" he yelled, grabbing the attention of the three fighting states.

     "'Ite Dad!" the southern state called back, just before running to the house, leaving his younger siblings. Said siblings then proceeded to shrug and walking over the their father and sister.

     "So it took me, one of your youngest children, to remind you of a possible house fire?" Oklahoma said with a slightly snarky tone.

     "Don't start that with me young lady. Just cause I was slacking doesn't mean you are suddenly the one in charge here," Alfred replied giving his daughter a playful look.

     "Heya Papa!" Alfred turned his head to see Arizona and New Mex (We're gonna give him that nickname for now.) sitting down on his left.

     "Hey boys, how are y'all doing?"

     "Better now that it's proven I have more heat than those two!" New Mex said, only to get elbowed by Arizona who, by this time, was getting back up, "Not true! I got the worst heat you meanie!"
